Then we left the village of the Spirit and returned to Nigel and Lynch Giham.
"It's been a while, but it's been a long time."
The village's clear air was delicious, but I still like this vibrant and crowded city.
"I heard a report from the gatekeeper, but apparently there was no major incident."
Nigel said with a reassuring face.
"Did Douglas and Ralph leave you a good message?
Maybe so.
"Shall we go back to the castle? I want to lie down in my own bed for the first time in a long time....."
"I'll stop by the magic lab and go home."
Laboratory?
I bow my neck.
Nigel hung a bottle in his right hand and kept doing this.
"I need you to analyze this water there. I don't think it's just water because it's grown in the forest where spirits live."
"Sure... I feel incalculable magic from that water."
"Isn't it?"
"Then I'll give it to you. I care about that too."
"Okay. Let's go together."
I'll be back at the royal castle soon.
Wait, Douglas, Ralph!
◆ ◆
Arrived in front of the Magic Lab.
I felt a calm atmosphere in the white painted building.
"I've been wondering what kind of building it was before, but it was a magic lab."
"Yeah, the station chief is pretty good at it. Let's go."
"Yes"
Step into the lab.
Inside, people in white were moving around busily.
When they noticed Nigel's visit, they greeted him lightly and bowed.
Nigel raised his hand to respond to it and went further, so I followed him.
Robert, it's been a while.
When I got to the deepest room in the lab,
There was a man staring at the contents of the liquid.
"Mr. Nigel."
He responded to Nigel's voice and turned his face toward us.
"Elaine, I want you to meet me. This is Robert, the director of the Magic Institute here. You're a very good person, so if you need anything, you can count on it."
"Nice to meet you, Robert. My name is Eliane."
Lift the edge of the skirt and lower your head.
Director... Robert said, "Oh."
"You're a beautiful woman. Perhaps this is Nigel's fiancé?
"Yeah."
"I think that's... a suitable person for Nigel. Exactly the best couple."
Robert gave me a soft smile, so I shook my hand.
Still...
This guy is pretty beautiful too!
My skin is pure white by the time I get sick and I wear thin glasses on the edges. I even felt the fantastic atmosphere.
By the way... only some people know that I'm Nigel's fiancée.
Nigel hasn't worked hard to make a fiancé until now.
And yet, if you accidentally tell them, they'll make a lot of noise.
But —— apparently Robert knows about it.
This made me wonder how much he trusted Nigel.
"So, Nigel, what happened suddenly? How can I help you today?
I wanted you to see this.
Nigel shows Robert the water that Philip the Spirit King gave him.
He observed it with interest.
"This is... a very magically pure water."
You know what I mean?
"Yes, where the hell did you get this?
"I'll skip the details now, but I can actually make out with the Spirit. This is the water flowing into the Spirit Forest."
"Let me, are you a spirit!?
Robert raises his glasses.
"Speaking of spirits, there is also a theory of the beginning of magic. It is a sorrow for magicians to find out about their ecology. I've hardly had a clue so far... I didn't expect Nigel to have one of these!
Robert looks excited.
I can't help it.
Robert would be surprised to see the spirits at a glance and bring them water...
"I need you to analyze this at the Magic Lab. What can you do with this water?"
"I see! Thank you! I can't sleep for a while!
"No, go to sleep."
Nigel laughs funny.
But soon, he looked really serious.
"I think you know... I'll just be careful with one thing. For you, spirits may be the subject of research, but never just imitate (...) rough hands. If you buy the wrath of the Spirit, it will be a big deal. I want you to look at me and do your research with moderation."
I advised him.
In contrast, Robert answered with a serious expression.
"I understand. I'm not going to imitate you like that. Don't worry, if you're a stupid magic researcher in the kingdom, you don't have anyone to think about it."
As Robert said, the researchers in the Kingdom of Belkheim have gone a little too far.
Rumor has it that he was dying his hands for quite a bit of a human experiment.
I think it depends on the nature of the person, but above all, it is likely that the country continued to seek results excessively.
I was a little worried when I heard it was the Magic Lab... but it looks okay in this state.
"Still, this water is really great. Let's call it Spirit Water for convenience."
Receiving a bottle of Spirit Water from Nigel, Robert looks seriously.
"I can't say without analyzing it in detail, but I think using it as a catalyst makes it easy to make advanced potions. It is unusual for water with such high magic purity."
"Potion!
I hear it and break in between the stories.
"Hey, are you making potions here?!
"Is your daughter interested in potions?
"Ha, yes! Very much!"
I accidentally stepped out.
When I was in the kingdom.
Bored, I was reading several books in the royal castle.
Among them was a book about people called "pharmacists" who make potions.
Make potions in a lazy and peaceful workplace.
The potions made by the pharmacists help various people and enrich their lives.
I had a longing for such a life for a while.
... well, I couldn't let you do that!
"Elaine, if you're so interested, why don't you help Robert?
"No, okay!
"Of course. Robert, as I explained before, this child is an excellent healer. I'm sure I can help you....."
"I'm the one who wants to ask. Nigel told me about her."
Robert looks at my face and smiles.
"You must be tired today, so please come to the lab as soon as possible from tomorrow. Let's make an advanced potion with this water."
"Ha, yes! Best regards,
Nevertheless, the pharmacist of yearning begins!
... well, I'm a magic researcher, but I don't care about the details.
In this way, I gave my heart a boost to my fulfilling days.
