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

Ride Uwen and fly to Schwarzburg together.

◆

Beyond the Kingdom of Zartenburg, entering the Duchy of Heimstadt changes the appearance.

Ordinary people, mainly women and children who barely escaped, are moving from Schwarzburg.

"Over here! It's over here!" Are there any injuries? If I'm there, I'll cure you. "

Lillian, who once fought Daria on the throne of the Holy Maiden, was leading people to the abandoned church.

"If I were here, I wouldn't be able to stop the rain... heh? Yin?"

Lillian looked up at the sky behind him as he suddenly walked across the earth.

"... the dragon. The dragon is flying towards Schwarzburg...?"

Seeing the red dragon crossing the sky, he muttered vaguely.

"Nevertheless, why are immigrants full of girls and women?" Normally, it would be dangerous for a man to take the initiative to protect them. "

From Wu Wen's back, Marc questioned what was happening under his eyes.

"... is the man captured...?"

"What does that mean..."

"You want to go to war, don't you? Then there are soldiers. Even a peasant can be a soldier. But at least some of them are trying to escape, even the weaker women and children."

……

To Letia's explanation, I lose my words.

"To hunt down an ordinary people who are not meant to fight..."

It's too harsh.

After all, we have to stop this situation somehow.

I had to renew my resolve.

◆

Eventually, it crossed the border between the Duchy of Heimstadt and the Schwarzburg Empire.

It's not like we're still marching, so we don't have that many soldiers.

But I wonder if it was the lords' castle.

There are many soldiers gathered in castles and forts that can be seen as key points, as well as artillery and large stone tablets.

Most of the forts flew away in no time, so there was no resistance.

"... what's that about?"

But one of the forts seemed to spot us flying from a distance, and I heard a loud scream.

Dragon! The Red Dragon is coming!

"Defense of the entire army! Catapults ready!"

You can hear the roar of the men.

"... we're lucky to have the Spirit King's protection."

"If I can throw a stone, everyone else will..."

Me and Lynn pale.

"That's right, I'll quickly avoid it!"

Wuwen says it's as if it's a casual game.

But if you hit it, you'll end up fighting people instead of everyone falling and getting hurt.

"... what should I do...?"

I squeezed the Azotrod with the prayer stone.

And so.

I hope... I hope for peace, I hope for the true happiness of the people

Out of nowhere, no, I heard it in my head, and I squeezed the prayer stone again.

... please. Remember your true happiness. Remember family, friends, smiling and peaceful life!

I prayed. Then, I turned the Azotrod toward the sky.

In the light of the sun that shines from the clouds, the stone of prayer shines a bright seven-color light, and illuminates the fort.

Then, the hands of the people who were jumping to attack stopped. Then, as soon as I returned to myself, I began to think of my family and lovers and began to talk about them.

"... heh? Why were we preparing for the war?"

"Wait, wait, wait! My wife is pregnant and she's about to give birth!"

People will return to me and stop my attacking hands. Then, in their lives that they remembered, there appeared those who were screaming and running down the stairs that descended from the roof of the fort.

At this time, I still didn't know, but in fact, Gerds had the soldiers take demonic medicine to listen to instructions blindly, get excited, and fight without sleeping at night.

I'm sure that everyone has returned to me this time because the strange anomaly has been lifted.

As I was told later, Gerds used the soldiers to check the effect without informing them of the medicine he had made.

"... amazing. What is that stone?"

"... a stone for peace. This should be the ultimate stone for a true sage, an alchemist."

I renew my determination to answer Marc's question.

What is the alchemist's ultimate goal?

It's not something that only benefits someone, it's something that makes everyone happy.

That's the last point an alchemist aims to reach.

Let's settle this with Gels.

I made up my mind about it.
