The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

Episode 17: The Presence of Mysticism

"El!! Elle! Are you ready!!?

The door becomes a dong. Shut up. Very loud. I was studying protocols late yesterday. I want you to slow me down for the holidays.

"I'm coming in!!? I'm coming in. Neh!!

When I hear that voice, the chatter, and the door opens. Fee and I recently exchanged keys for each other. For once, to be able to rush right when something happens to each other. But I didn't give it to him to interfere with his sleep.

I come in without saying no. I complain to Fee.

"... dude. It's only 6: 00, right? Sleep till noon today... let me sleep..."

"I knew it!! Good to be here soon!! You have a party Prince Oscar called you to today!!? If I'm not Elle anymore, I really can't do it without me. Huh..."

"Hmm? Ah... Speaking of which, you did"

sleigh and out of bed. I'm confused, so I take off what I'm wearing and head straight to the bathroom.

"Geez! Take off your clothes properly in front of the bath!! And I'll make you some rice!? I'll use it on my own, ingredients!!

"... ugh"

I'm falling asleep, so do whatever it takes. With that in mind, I eat breakfast made by Fee when I shower all the time. For egg rolls, miso soup, salad and grilled salmon. I think I'm eating Momogu, wondering why Phee from such a good property would sell off.

"... hey, Phee. How come you haven't been able to get married? I can do the chores in general, and the appearance is beautiful. Good character, good ability. I doubt it..."

"Ugh... don't say that over breakfast made by people..."

Me and Fee go across the street for breakfast and change into the suit we were wearing at the entrance ceremony. Well, this outfit would be fine. Fey's is a suit, too.

"Good thing, El. Spread mystical bullshit on Texto. Wrong, but not if it bites you, right?

"It's just the way it always is, isn't it?

"Yes, yes. Say hello in Genius Mode!

Copy that.

That's how me and Fee headed to Royal Castle, the party venue. The royal castle of this kingdom exists further back in the aristocratic city to the north. I only went once, only once, during the Blue Stella award ceremony. That's why I don't remember. When the award ceremony was over, I just left.

"Hey Fee. What kind of a prince is that?

"Prince Oscar II? Uh, honest man. I don't think you're a fanatic mystic. I want to believe I'm making a mistake, too."

"But hey...... an immediate invitation at this time. Besides, there are rumors, and you won't be wavering to be a mystical leader. They don't seem to have any trouble knowing who they are."

"Well, the mystics are pretty assertive. I've been solicited a few times too, but there's really a lot of factional strife... if you're noble, it's also important that you belong to either the mystic or the theoretical... ha, or..."

"Fee's been in there forever, hasn't he? Seems like you bothered me too. Let me thank you again."

"Hey, hey what... you've been strangely understanding lately. I couldn't care less when I was a student."

"It means I'm growing up, too. Nothing can just make the best crop in the world. The person to sell is a person. And I also need connections to sell. This kind of relationship can also be useful at times of need. There's no harm in being a mystic."

"El...... uuuuuuu. You've grown... I'm glad wow..."

"See, don't cry. It's time to get there."

We'll get to the royal castle while we have a chat. As always, it's a big castle. I need to look up at my face, so much so that I don't see the whole picture. And the maids came when we followed them.

"Dear Elweed Willis, you're Alsfira Medice, this way. We've already opened."

When we followed, it was a garden. Even so, it was another extraordinarily high-profile garden unlike the garden of Serena's house. The trees beside them are cut together beautifully, and the lawn seems to have just recently been mowed again. Furthermore, the desk and chair there is white based and contains a royal crest.

"Hey Fee. I thought, what kind of a party is this?

"Uh... for once, it's like a regular gathering of nobles. Occasionally, royalty is more open to me."

"Heh..."

As we enter the garden, the gaze of a large number of humans turns to us all at once.

"Oh... that one"

"Are you Elweed Willis, an alchemist from Bluestellar?"

"Ho ho... boulder piercing. A superior alchemist has a different personality."

I'm used to this gaze. I usually ignored Texto, but when faced with it, it's sloppy... he's not even this prominent... but I guess the Bitstar Blue Stella is still special to the nobles. I don't have a pin for the farmer...

I'm a little scared around, so I'm stuck with Fee perfectly.

"... Phee, help me... I'm scared, this gaze scares me..."

"Bear with it. If it starts, I have to leave, too, right? It's time to be alone."

"Damn...... I'm only 16!!

"I can't say that either. You are Blue Stella. We don't think of them as children."

"Oh... right. Yeah, that's right..."

Sad. I thought I'd try to change things a little too, but this is sloppy. Until now, I've completely ignored it, but when I have to face it, everyone turns a curious gaze. It is also seen by many humans in class, but this is different again. It's a prey's eye for securing me. Perhaps all the mystics are gathered at this party. When I realize it, it was Prince Oscar who came. Apparently, he greets you lightly at the beginning.

"Thank you all for coming together. I'm really thrilled that so many people are coming together. Come on, then, that's enough of my greetings...... let's get you in the lead of the day. Elweed Willis, Alchemist for Blue Stella."

I can be applauded all the time from all around me, making sure I open up to Prince Oscar to make my way. Oh... how could you do this... I didn't hear this...

And, spitting grudges in my heart, I turn to Prince Oscar. And I decided to just say one word. The air around me is telling me to do that and...

"Uh. Hi, my name is Elweed Willis and I left it for your introduction. I really appreciate you calling me to this meeting..."

Texting words like that, the party started quickly. My relying fie has also gone somewhere, and when I'm horny, about five young women push me.

"Dear Elle!!

"Yikes! Dear Raw El!!

"Dear El, thank you for coming today!

"Ha... Dear El, honorable"

"Cool. Huh... Huh..."

"... Ha ha, thank you"

If we have a conversation, they're all daughters of noble houses and they're not coming to this party. But this time it seemed to rush to hear rumors that I was coming. And I kept my usual autograph because they're all gonna say they're my fans and they're gonna give me colored paper and a pen. By the way, my signature was made by Fee. As always, he is a brilliant person.

"See you when you get a chance..."

When I cut to the chase, I want to rest a little and try to get away with it, but it grabs me by the shoulder.

Hey hey good! what's this feel!!?

"Doctor, you're here."

"Ah, Princess Alice. Thanks for this..."

Say hello to Pepper. For once, I have eyes around me, so I respond with respect. And Alice starts talking to me right there in my ear.

"... Doctor, why are you here"

"... no, you can't crush Phee's face... a royal invitation..."

"... ch, are you Fee again"

"... the black princess is gone now. So, this is still..."

"... yeah. There's almost nothing but mystics here. Today, the Patriarch's unveiling."

"... right"

That's what I'm talking about, and someone comes up to me softly. This...

"Hey, Alice. I was wondering if you could mix it up with me.

"Brother Oscar"

It was Prince Oscar II who came here with a grin. Short hair, light pigmented blue hair, and unpretentious but elegant behavior. Undoubtedly, he is a royal man.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Elweed Willis. My name is Oscar Canovaria. He's the second prince of this country."

"This is polite… this is Elweed Willis"

Exchange a gassy handshake. My physique is smaller than mine, but I still feel elegant and majestic. It is royalty specific.

"Speaking of which, Alice. Your father called, and he said he knew about it."

"Ho! Ah... ho ho ho. Really? Then I'll..."

Alice, my last favor, has gone. I'm usually entangled and wussy, but I always wanted you to be there today...

If you think so, Prince Oscar comes talking to you with a full grin.

"Sorry about earlier, suddenly. I'm not even in a meeting."

"No. I'm used to saying hello..."

"The boulder is the alchemist of Blue Stella."

"No, I'm still immature."

"Well, you still have a way to go. With all this results, I'm not being chronic. I heard the boulder was Lord Willis, a masterpiece, but you're more than a rumor."

Prince Oscar smiling with a grin has no malice whatsoever, he just looks like a young man. But I'm sure you're up to something in your mind.

"So now I'm..."

When I try to leave, Prince Oscar speaks a word I can't miss hearing.

"... Proto, was it? Seems to have achieved something recently and I'm as happy as I am."

"... where... about it"

"Hehe... where is it?

Prince smiling like earlier. But there was definitely something evil lurking in its eyes.
