I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist

― ― The poison my master taught me to make got a place to show off much earlier than I thought.

That was when Petra Radmila Yulia's three daughters and under the big tree behind Petra's house were cold-blooded and bickering.

I can only say that I was lucky to notice the sound of the bushes shaking behind me. I looked back, at that moment. Guillary and red eyes glowed in the dark.

- It's a monster.

“ I look at my three daughters all the time. On the straight line of the demon, nearest one was Radmila.

Unconsciously, my legs move. I didn't even have time for fear. I thought somewhere far away, like other HRs, that it was an unmistakable step, like being manipulated by something. ‬

"Radmila, run!

“ Almost at the same time I got up and pushed Radmila ’ s back and the demon jumped out of the bush this way.

“ For a moment, the pain is like piercing your right shoulder. He threw the poison he had used to protect himself in his left pocket halfway to the ground and threw it toward the demon before his brain could eject the cause of the pain. Whether my defensive instincts as an animal worked, or whether I was instructed (programmed) to do so again by God (blame me me), it was an incredibly quick and smooth move myself.

• Parin, and a broken container. As soon as possible, the irritant odor poked through his nasal cavity. What followed was the disastrous sound of the demon's skin melting, Shuuu.

"Laura!"

"Fire! And get me Uncle Weapon Shop!

“ It was Euria who quickly understood my words and ran out faster than anyone else. That's to say the oldest, of the three, she was calmer than anyone else.

“ It seemed that Petra, who had long gone back to Euria, let me back down by dragging Radmila, who had completely lost her hips behind my back. Petra and I were born in a village surrounded by woods, and she is such a successful girl as to make a living alone. It was the agitation that was causing him to take the action he deserved firmly on this occasion instantly.

“ Check horizontally that Petra and Radmila have taken some distance from the demon, and immediately return their gaze to the demon in front of them. By the poison I threw, the skin on the demon's face was ugly.

"Wu, wu..."

(It's not a honking... people roaring, like...)

― ― Demons speaking Mandarin.

The presence floated in the back of my brain.

"Laura!"

“ There is no mistake in hearing that voice, it is childhood friendly.

“ I almost looked back and managed to stay by putting a lot of effort into my legs. In front of the demon - I'm the one who wounded the demon, too - it's too dangerous to show his back.

“ Fluffy, ” I felt wrapped in warm light from behind. Moments, a familiar crest floats at the foot of the demon in front of you. - Oh, yeah, this crest is on Lukersch's left eye. Exactly like that.

“ From the crest that appeared on the ground, a column of light rose towards the sky. I meditate my eyes unintentionally on so much glare. It was the sorrowful interrupter of the demon that broke my eardrum like that.

“ Stand flat on the spot. The pillar of light that struck the demon was broken. There lay a round burnt demon.

“ It was a demon that looked deadly, but the blackened head moves. A few steps backwards, aggressively wondering if he was still alive, led Lukersch out to take refuge before me. Beyond the back of childhood taming, but with the monster who raised a resentful face, eyes to eyes, and.

"Omae, Mabusi......"

- No doubt, the demon said so. It's obviously a human word, not a hallucination, or the roar of the demon overheard by chance.

“ Lukersch ’ s back rocks in agitation. But he immediately held the sword in his hand and pointed it at the demon.

"Kiero!

“ Yelling so, the demon strikes toward Lukersch. Perhaps it was an attack by squeezing the last force, but Lukersch shook it off with his sword without difficulty and stabbed the sword in the demon's chest.

From the body of the demon, the sword falls out. This time the body of the desperate demon fell so that it could be beaten to the ground.

"Laura, it's okay!?

Lukersch takes my right arm when he looks back. He looked painfully distorted when he saw the wound bleeding out of the shallow one.

“ Honestly, it doesn ’ t hurt as much as it looks. No, thanks to something more distracting than that to be exact, the pain is a lot easier.

"It's alright. Luca, its power..."

"I can use it now."

“ Wrinkles between my eyebrows, ” he says, stopping the bleeding on my right shoulder. I was happy to worry about childhood tampering, even though I thought it would be one shot if I took such an injury, restorative medicine.

“ It seems we are becoming able to use the power of the brave, ” said Lukersch. On second thought, it was only that day - since "I” woke up - that I saw him use that power with this eye.

"Hey Lukersch, the demon just now..."

"I was speaking people's language."

“ Lukersch clogged his throat for a moment, ” he said clearly. I thought I'd cut the word there exactly, and childhood training keeps the word going.

"The magic of the kingdom came easily across... and it's the first time I haven't used that power to fall in a single blow. I'm sure it's stronger than any demon I've ever seen."

aren't language-speaking demons stronger individuals than other demons?

“ I was almost certain from my memories that Lukersch noticed the difference with his own hands.

“ But would it have been said in the play “ Last Brave ” that there have been such events in the past? I remember the NPC dialogue where Lukersch retreated with the power of the brave, where Emme's village was attacked.

Nevertheless, I had no idea that Language-speaking Demon No. 2 would be witnessed in the village of Emme, a land far from Platonovena. From a metaphorical point of view, it's a world where events - troubles and mutations - are flagged around Lukersch, the brave man of the future. It's not an impossible story - rather, it's so strange why No. 1 appeared in Platonovena that the Arnolts were the ones who confronted the demon before anyone else.

"Because the magic that's being cast on Emme's village isn't that strong..."

“ There is magic stretched like a junction that surrounds the village and keeps the demons away. Nevertheless, the magic is a crude one carried out by an unknown sorcerer. There was no such thing as a magician who would bother to take me to such a despicable village, and that's why I don't have enough money in Emme's village to pay to call a great magician. But the connection, which was closer to magic than magic, still managed to function until recently - in the first place, demons acted in fear of fire and also in habits that made it difficult for people to enter their living areas.

“ But the approaching resurrection of the Demon King increased the strength of the demon, as well as perhaps the ferocity of the demon. In such a juncture, no matter how many lukersches there were, sacrifices may be made in the near future.

“ I grabbed my fist for a long time, but soon I pulled my strength out of my stretched body. And he smiles painfully and speaks to the childhood taming of his still rugged expression.

"Next time, I'll ask the royal castle magician. Could you do something stronger?"

"That person, Mr. Arnold?

“ I flashed for a few moments when I asked about Lukersch, who flew without my hair in.

“ The word Royal Castle magician I spoke of, did not refer to an individual. It's just an option that came to mind for the simple reason that the Royal Castle has a strong group of magicians, and that it's a relationship that you might rely on if you follow quite a few connections. To the point where I was surprised that Lukersch named one Arnold, I didn't think of anything better or worse.

“ I laugh bitterly when my blue eyes stare at me. But Arnold must also be one of the magicians he can count on, so he took the lead, albeit slowly.

"Well, I guess you're one of the candidates"

“ That ’ s how Lukersch overtly clouded his expression.

“ Arnold will now be among the top magicians in the Royal Castle. If you can honestly ask him, I'd like to. It should protect Emme's village with much stronger sorcery than it is now. There are some hard-to-ask parts of Arnold that would be having busy days because they have to come to the village of Emme once.

“ I didn ’ t expect Lukersch to float without hiding his bitter expression like this, even though he would know it thinly. Again,

"Hey, Luca. Luca, you don't like Mr. Arnold?

"I don't know that guy as much as I don't like him. But I don't know... I don't think it fits."

“ The look on my face was a grin.

“ From the first time I met him, Lukersch didn ’ t seem to think much of Arnold. Arnold is also Arnold, and despite Lukersch's thank-you, as he did the other day, he often returns it in somewhat cold words and deeds.

Was it about three times that Lukersch and Arnold met each other? Even though that was all, it was clear from the edge that we didn't think much of each other.

“ There wasn ’ t any definitive trigger, it should have been. As far as I can tell, it's about. Anyone would say that it doesn't fit. Maybe that's what Arnold is for Lukersch. And perhaps so is Lukersch for Arnold.

I think the two paths will probably cross quite a bit ahead of us. For Lukersch, Arnold is the brother of a dear companion. That doesn't mean you should have a good relationship, and you don't expose yourself to communicating that to yourself, but this is also unusual for Lukersch to show feelings of “bad” for others, which makes him laugh bitterly.

"But Mr. Arnold is also a busy man, so I'll call the others."

“ If I added that, childhood tampering gave me a blatantly horrible look.

- Nevertheless, this is the third time I've encountered a demon. That's also, in a way, at a good time, right after I taught you how to make poison drugs.

“ Around being targeted right after I formulated the poison, I feel God ’ s (blame) intentions at will. Maybe the very event I teach how to make poison was flagging this event - and so on - and the game idea goes around the back of my brain.

“ Beyond being near a future brave man named Lukersch, it was within the scope of our assumptions to get involved in the event to some extent as a fabric stone to this edition (Mirai), but wouldn ’ t it be too easy to encounter too many for the third time? Besides, I think the Platonovena thing was an Arnolt-centric event. In fact, Arnold's name spread in the wake of that incident.

“ Because of its high specs, I had a faint idea, but is Arnold an important character in this world?

It's something you can't even think about. Anyway, enjoy this holiday now - although some events may happen.
