Renkinjutsushi Desu. Jijou wa Gomibako ni Sutete Kimashita

"Me, what are you doing..."

Reis soaks up in a lightly depressing mood as he looks at the stains on the ceiling. I would have gone home and bothered my head about the store by now, but the reality is that for some reason I'm just sitting around in a coffee shop.

How is this happening when I say that this is a time to waste? I don't even know if it exists. I'm in the mood for a ketch on God.

Reyce, who kept thinking about reality escape, turns back to me and looks in front of him. There was the figure of Rotier carrying large loads of food into his mouth one after the other.

It's so full of food, it disappears while I see what I ordered. Besides, Reyes is supposed to pay for this.

Despite this, there is no way to shy away from Rotier. I'm just moving my mouth with no expression. It seems that the three of us have already flattened, but we do not know that the momentum will fade.

If it stays this way, the payment will also be the appropriate amount. I'll miss Lace's nostalgia again, which I'm never moisturizing.

"So, who are you guys..."

I think I said the same word in the coffee shop a few tens of minutes ago, but I will try not to think about it. Rotier finally stopped the hand of the meal after hearing Reis say it.

"Me, Rotier..."

A girl with the same dark hair as Reis, with blue eyes that give her a sense of serenity. He weaves black robes that are not big enough for both hands to fit into his sleeves, and he wraps up an atmosphere that is somewhere difficult to get close to because they are always faceless.

Nevertheless, the emotions are abundant just because you don't put them on the table.

"I'm Mimi. Spirituality."

"Spirit... with reason"

The answer was simple, wondering what kind of tease a talking fox was. I have met Salamander before, so it is accepted naturally without any particular surprise.

"Does that mean it's provisional?"

"That's right, you got it."

"For once, I've met the Spirit."

"Heh, that's unusual"

It's basically a level of meeting a shaped spirit, like once in a lifetime. With that in mind, Mimi, who is acting with her human being, Rotier, can be described as a very rare spirit.

"That's the way it is, it's rare for spirits to be with humans"

"I've known this kid for a long time. It's like a daughter."

"The spirits are my daughters... and so are you"

Basically, the Spirit is above man in position. This is a fact that cannot be overridden. It would be unusual for such a spirit to refer to human beings as "like daughters" and only Mimi would pass by.

I'm also curious to know how you got into that relationship.

"Maybe you got in a dragon car and came to Wangdu, right? Why did you fall hungry again?"

…………

When Reis asks, Rotier doesn't show a bare gesture of answering puy and side to side. Or I don't even know what you're thinking because you're so faceless.

I had no choice but to turn my gaze to Mimi.

"Rotier was tricked by a merchant into taking most of his money. You were obviously suspicious, but don't even think about it."

"A new breed, he said..."

Rotier groans uncomfortably.

Reis learned to get hooked on the word new breed and accidentally made his expression bitter. Even unintentionally, the old man's smile comes to mind.

Could he have fooled you...

I feel unspeakable, considering the general situation. I can't fool around about Rotier because Reyce was about to be fooled the same way again.

Besides, at the beginning of his visit to the King's Capital, Rafey also helped Rafey where he had been tricked into taking his money and falling. Thinking of it that way, Rotier could be described as a person in a similar situation to Reis.

Helping now doesn't make me feel so bad.

"Well, I generally understood why you were down. So, what are we gonna do after this?

I know because Reis has been through it too, but not even having money for lunch means I don't have money to stay at the inn tonight.

It is a question that I was worried about.

"Well, for now, we're going to go to a place called Adventurer's Guild and sell potions."

"Is that why you've been looking for your guild? Potion means is Rotier an alchemist?

Rotier nods cocklessly as she cheeks her bread. When I swallowed the chewed bread gobbly, I turned my blue eyes still towards Reis.

"Looking for people..."

"People?"

"Yes, that's why Rotier and I came to the king's capital."

"Heh, you know your face, your name?

From what I've heard, Rayce doesn't know much about the King's Capital. Let me ask you something of interest.

"He's an alchemist, laced and named..."

"... Huh?

Am I hearing this wrong? That's what I thought, Rayce, he had an unexpected voice like that. Rotier leans her neck wonderfully and stares at Reis.

"So lace and name alchemist......"

If you tell me twice, I can't even mishear you. Reyce let her cheeks pull and slowly pointed to herself.

"Reiss, it's about me..."

Rotier, who has always been faceless, opens his eyes and dews his surprise all this time. I'm surprised by this, too, as Lace.

I never thought I'd stumble upon someone looking for me.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

"Really. What are the odds in this vast king's capital..."

"But as far as I'm concerned, I'm lucky to save you the trouble of looking."

Saying so, Mimi rocks three tails in a good mood.

It may be a delightful event for Rotier and Mimi, but if you try Reis, you're full of questions.

"... why were you looking for me?

If you're still in King's Capital, it's for Elixir. I can think of a lot of reasons, but for what reason were people from other countries looking for Reis?

I can't imagine, Rayce asks honestly.

"I want my apprentice to..."

"So, apprentice...?

Confused by unexpected offers. Rotier nods with a serious look as Rayce accidentally repeats the words.

"Your rumors have been circulating to some extent. He says there's an amazing alchemist who makes elixirs. I didn't think you were this young."

"To other countries..."

On second thought, Lulimes, who was not in the King's Capital, also made the statement that he had heard about Reis's very activity, so it is not surprising that people in other countries knew about Reis.

Nevertheless, even if suddenly he asks me to be his apprentice, it's a little troublesome for Reis. I started thinking more and more about the store and even promised to pretend to be a lover to Raffie.

If you're going to do anything else, there's definitely not enough time first.

Nevertheless, I come all the way out of the way to visit the country, so I can begin to say no immediately.

"Alchemy, I want you to tell me..."

Reyce's heart shakes as Rotier sincerely asks for less emotion on the table. Reis, thinking about it, came up with a plan.

"Rotier, how long are you staying in Wangdu?

"I haven't decided in particular..."

"So you're just saying you're free to do it, right?

"Yeah......"

Rayce nodded okay, letting him stand two fingers.

"You can make me an apprentice. But there are two conditions. If you're going to swallow this, I'll take it."

"What...?

"The first is that Rotier works as an employee in my shop. For that, I'll teach you alchemy. If you don't think you can do it, you can quit the store whenever you want."

If Rotier became an Alchemian employee, Reyce could teach alchemy without bothering to leave the store. Plus, there are more workers who wanted it.

It wouldn't be a bad deal.

I was thinking a little, Rotier, but eventually I nodded cocklessly. Now the first one is clear.

"The second...?

"The second is that the spirits there act as mascots for my shop."

- This is Reyce's biggest aim.

A talking fox, besides a spiritual mascot, is sure to stand out. It's a lowly suggestion, but I don't have time to do philanthropy with Reis.

Without that considerable benefit.

"What do you do with mascots?

"Basically, you just need to have Rotier with you. But sometimes you talk to the guests, and then you let them touch you."

"To humans...? How could I do that..."

Only the Spirit, and still pride as high as Salamander. Though I thought this condition was strict on boulders, Reis.

"Please, Mimi..."

Rotier hugged Mimi and told her so briefly. But the power is inside.

"Ugh..."

Did Mimi also weaken on this, her tail dripping slowly? Eventually, I sighed like I'd given up.

"... I get it."

"Thanks......"

Rotier smiles and squeezes her cheeks against Mimi. Anyway, that concludes the negotiation.

"All right, then let's admit to discipleship"

"Ooh..."

Imich, I don't know if you're happy. Seeing the reaction, Reyce laughs bitterly.

"Then there's a lot to do... how much potion does Rotier have right now?

Rotier slowly opens his backpack. The number of potions removed is five.

"Tools make space..."

"Well, you do. Materials?"

"Not much......"

"Hmm..."

Selling potions would be some money, but that's definitely not enough to live on. With less material, it would be difficult to mass produce potions.

"Right...... if Rotier is good, would you stay in my store until life stabilizes?

"Are you sure...?

"The upstairs are all empty, so I just need you to use them there"

Reis also came to King's Capital. Initially, he was taken care of at Raffie's house. Remind me of that offer.

"Well, please..."

"Yes. I'm going back to the store now, but what do we do? You want to come with me?

"Yeah, I'm going..."

Copy that.

This will make Rayce the second person to teach alchemy. I still can't say I'm used to teaching, but Daisy is also growing strength with no problems, so she shouldn't have done anything wrong. I would be able to help.

"It's been a long day."

Seeing Rotier resume her meal in front of her, Reyce muttered one quietly.
