The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

After Prince William's condition had subsided, me and your father were summoned to a separate room by His Majesty the King. There are only three people in the room.

A small room, a small table set for a small group, that's all.

"Please don't say anything else now."

First of all, we are once again constrained by the words of silence that His Majesty has spoken.

... I wonder what you're talking about just me and your father...

"Daisy, can we make a confession?

His Majesty the King asks me questions.

"... Jihaku, no?

I lean my neck against unfamiliar words.

My father explained it to me so that I could understand it.

"Asked questions about drugs that make me want to be honest."

As His Majesty the King said, the killer poisoned the prince this time has a star, but there is always no conclusive evidence, and the lizard's tail stops. They can't catch the mastermind, the real killer.

Although it was a late-acting poison this time, it may not be in time if a strong immediate poison is used.

Therefore, for the safety of His Royal Highness, he wanted to capture the person wearing the eye star with a confession agent.

... it's not called 'Jihakuzai', but I do feel like it did.

"I think there was something similar in the alchemy book you gave me, but I don't think I have all the ingredients."

I answered to the best of my ability.

In answer, His Majesty the King replied, "Yes."

"Certainly, it is not something that can be answered immediately. Just go home and check it out before you respond."

That's what you said.

"That's right, I wanted to thank you for today. Check it out."

His Majesty presents a small bag of beautiful purple cloth to me from her chest pocket.

"Excuse me."

That's how your father picked up the bag placed in front of me in humble hands on my behalf and put its contents on my palm so that I could see it.

... what was there was a piece of white gold.

Your father sighs.

I just glanced at the coin with interest and seriousness that I had never seen before.

"Your Majesty, I think this is too much for the potion money....."

There is a cold sweat on your father's forehead.

In the words of your father, no, His Majesty the King shakes his head.

"It's not what you pay for today's potion at that price. Think of it as a gratuity for the king of a kingdom to save my child's life."

It would be rude to refuse what you have said so far.

"Thank you."

As a thank you, your father said to me when he put the white gold coins in a cloth bag, it was in his chest pocket.

"That's because it's dangerous for Daisy to have this big money. I'll leave it with you until Dad's safe."

As always, I didn't know the value of the currency, but I felt that it was a very difficult amount. So I nodded honestly to your father.

And there was one more thing that bothered me. Even though the prince lost his life, he hasn't been found yet. Your Highness is not really safe yet.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. That's not why, even though His Royal Highness is safe, it may be just in case. I have brought you another" powerful disinfectant potion "today, so please accept it... I hope it won't be necessary..."

That is why I presented to His Majesty a 'powerful disinfectant potion'.

His Majesty is thanking me with his eyes down.

"Thank you very much."

After that, my father and I left the room and arrived home by carriage from the royal castle.

◆

Upon returning home, I was looking for what His Majesty had asked me to do with the Alchemy Book.

"... the medicine that makes you want to talk..."

I think there was something like that somewhere, but I can't find it when I'm looking for it.

"That's probably not the name."

Hmm, it's getting worse, and I'm going to push myself on top of a book.

I murmur as I push myself down.

"I want to talk, I want to talk, I want to talk, I want to talk,... I want to talk, Naal... ah!

I remember his name!

I don't want to talk, Nal!

I hurried to find the page. Soon after, we found the page in question.

"Chattering Mushrooms" and "Donna Grassroots". With these two, water and magic stones, we can do it!

I took it in a note and hurried out of the room to find your father.

When he searched the mansion, his father sat on the sofa in the living room.

I approached quickly and made a speedy report.

"Father, we found you! This medicine is called" I don't want to talk, Nal "! If you have" talking mushrooms "and" donna grass roots ", you can make them!

My father smacked me in the knee and said, "Come here." I lowered my hips to your father's knees as he told me.

"Daisy, listen carefully. What do you think would happen if I told you that I poisoned Your Highness with that medicine?

Father slowly asks as he puts me on his lap and hugs me.

"... maybe you'll get caught."

That's what I thought. I noticed.

'This medicine is not something that ends when someone is happy.'

"Father, this medicine may make your prince safer. But whoever tries to harm His Highness... will be caught and punished."

I stared into your father's eyes and asked.

"That's what happens.... perhaps to give death, or a good, permanent confinement."

Kokun, I nod.

"Even if I knew it would happen, can Daisy make it?... if you can't, you can't make it. Your father will manage to tell His Majesty."

Some of my medicines may cause you to die... It was very shocking to me.

But then I remembered the innocent smile of His Highness when he offered sweet bread. Someone is trying to hurt that innocent prince my age.... I don't like that.

I mean, it's pathetic to have such a hard time just because I was born a child of His Majesty the King. And I can't believe you could die innocent.

"Father. I want to make medicine... to protect Your Highness's smile. Even if that puts someone in a position of guilt."

That's how I pull my mouth together.

I see.

And your father hugged me and buried his face in my body.
