The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

"... how do you know that, Prince Oscar"

"Hehe. Come on, why not..."

I was facing Prince Oscar. No, you can say we were staring at each other. Only a very few people really know about the proto. And that's just someone I believe I can trust. It's hard to even think about saying someone was leaking it. He came up with a proposition for me when I was thinking about it.

"Let's just get straight to it, you know it anyway. I want you to be a symbol of mysticism."

"... Is it a symbol?

"That's right. It is the mystics who divide this kingdom. Alchemy is certainly also a theoretical one. But that's still the only thing humans have applied on their own. Even you don't think you've reached the truth of alchemy yet, do you?

"It's..."

Stuck in words. Alchemy is certainly a theoretical thing. I've come to develop alchemy by sticking to reason, theory. But as Prince Oscar put it, alchemy is still unknown. That's the realm of God and I've expressed.

God. It is an existence that cannot be proven. There's no evidence to say he's here, and there's no evidence to say he's not. In other words, proof of the devil. But my presence seems to be closest to the God of Alchemy. That's what Bitstar Blue Stella is all about... for them...

"This world was created by God to produce alchemy, whose God is the work of miracles, TMT. And you're the deepest alchemist in the world, Elleed Willis. Come on, let's go together. You would understand. [M] And I won't spare this support. I'll help you with the crop business you want to do, and I'll give you Alice's engagement. Would you like to be royal and make this country better together? That wouldn't be a bad story, would it?

……

No words immediately. Sure, it's not a bad story. With royal backups, my business definitely rides the waves. Getting close to my dream for sure. If you think rationally, I should get on with the story here. But that's not what my emotions say.

Alchemist for the Bistar Blue Stella. It is the closest thing to the truth in this world. An alchemist is what you would call an alchemist. But what about my dreams? Even on such a path. Get on someone else's rail, get engaged just for your dreams, and be royal. I'm sure Alice will feel complicated too. He's always got a rough attitude, but he's seriously rooting for me.

Based on that, what should I do...

No, it's already been decided. I should move forward on my own. Working with others is fine. But that's a reciprocal relationship. As it is, I am merely exploited. It is only a symbol of the shape of this country. But I... I do have a side as a symbol, but I'm a single farmer. I have a dream to fulfill as a farmer.

When I am so determined, I show Prince Oscar my fortitude.

"... I'm sorry, but I can't accept that suggestion"

"Ho... why not?

"Because I want to achieve my goals on my own."

"... you don't get it. I don't think the presence of such emotions is" Blue Stella ". Is there another element of anxiety?

"No, there isn't. Besides, I don't care if I'm a mystic or a theorist. Pursue dreams. That's all."

"... right... ok. I understand your point. [M] I'm sorry to make you take the time today. See you sooner or later, if you get a chance."

"Yes. Now if you'll excuse me,"

That's how I left the party behind.

And back at home, I had dinner with Fee. That's when Fee talks to me worried that you found out you were just a little depressed.

"El...... could something have happened?

"Ha... the boulders are fie. Actually, Prince Oscar invited me. Come to the mystics."

"I knew it. So...?

"I said no. Tell me I have something to do. And why the prince knew about the proto. You're definitely leaking information."

"Lie... where do you think it leaks from...?

"I don't know. So far, I don't think anybody's talked about it... and no way Phee's betraying you, is he?

"That's right... I hate mystics. Always Netineti, about my wedding...... wowwwwwwwwwww!!! I got even more annoyed when I thought about it!!!

"Right. Well, I said no for now. You'll be fine."

We cut up the conversation there and broke up. But it seemed like I didn't sleep well tonight, and I woke up a lot at night.

If I may, may my dreams go on like this...

§ § §

"Actually, Rita. There's someone I'd like to introduce you to today."

"... is anyone there? Dr. Elle."

The next day. I was teaching Rita Semi. This time is really healing these days. Rita's alchemy skills are considerable and really better than they were when we met. If we keep this up, we might be the Gold alchemist soon. I plan to file an application with the association shortly and have them take the exam. And that's how I want to introduce him to Rita now.

"Look, come out. Proto."

When I call it that, a little facial prototype out of the bag. I tried to bring him to the lab today. Of course I want to show Rita, but I brought her here because I want to know if I can communicate with the first ones.

……

As the proto always says, "Hey! Raise your right hand all the time." Rita looks at it and opens her eyes.

"Huh!!? Is this that proto!!?

"Ah. That's the proto I've been talking about. Look, I can walk these days."

Guess what I'm saying, Proto walks on his desk with great prestige. Small footsteps, but no stray walking. Walking has become more like it these days, and it is no longer quite close to that of humans.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Shh, that's amazing!!? You used to get high, didn't you!? I can't believe that it starts walking on its own...... I was surprised when I heard that Homncrus evolves, but it's emotional to see the real thing like this. Everything about the teacher's research is stuck here..."

"Exactly"

Rita is the one who really understands. You always listen to me seriously. More recently, I've left the care of the 'walking corn' to Rita. When I'm away, they're giving me the keys to the roof to take a walk on them. At first I was reluctant, "Please, let me do it!!" So I left it to him. Then, the corns like Rita better than I do, and I've been left to Rita lately.

"All right, then... let's meet fate"

I arrange everything from one to four on my desk. And I decided to make contact with the proto to see it.

……

………

……

………

I'm kind of interacting in gestures. I'll put it in my notebook as soon as possible. After all, it seems that fully independent artificial intelligence can communicate with each other in any crop. They communicate well when they say it's another crop called carrots and corn.

And after a while, the proto starts shaking hands with everyone. Apparently it was accepted.

"Yes, yes... this is exactly what you encounter with the unknown! It's amazing! I must have been present at a historic moment!!

"Oh! Right! Definitely!!

"You did it, Doctor!!

"Ah!! Yay!!

Some time after that, we made a fool of ourselves with high tension. But I stumbled on Fee and said, "Shut up!" and they drank it all. Fee was quite scared when he got angry, so me and Rita stayed shunned and dissolved.

Trying to get out of college, I run into Fee by chance. It's oddly awkward because of what happened earlier...... but I can't ignore it either.

"Oh, Elle's home now, too?

"Ah."

"Why don't you join us for dinner today?

"... fine. There's nothing in my house right now."

"I'm just out now, too. Shopping with me?

Copy that.

Apparently Fee doesn't care that much. Great... that's how the two of us walk down the night lane when we shop in the supermarket.

The road I'm on right now is somewhere where the street lights aren't working very well and it's a little dim. It is dangerous for a woman to pass alone. Most importantly, the kingdom of Canovaria is safe, so there are rarely thugs or anything like that. You don't have to be so vigilant. If you think so, I feel strange.

"Fee, come behind me for a second"

"Huh...?

"Look closely, it's a smelting mark, Lenzikon. This... paralyzes the nerves..."

I see the smelters, I see them. And resist it in an instant. From the accuracy of this smelting formation, the guy who set this up is definitely platinum "platinum" level. I'm more alert than I was earlier. I don't care if I'm alone, but I don't know if Fee's with me. Even so, I'm not worried because Fee is pretty strong too, just in case.

"... I resisted, but the other guy is pretty hands-on. There is no scum in the smelting formation. This is going to be hard to identify from here."

"... sounds like it"

Me and Fee stare at the resisted smelting formation. Beautiful smelting formations were painted everywhere there. The smelting formations are queasy by people and become distinctive. It is easy to identify individuals from it using associations. But this is deliberately erasing the habit.

We've seen tens of thousands of them and we've figured that out.

And I understand. Apparently, the Oscars' mystics aren't going to leave me like this.

"Fee, let's go home"

"... yeah"

When I squeezed Fee's hand tightly, I hurried back home.

……

……

The two of us eat in silence. That happened, I don't feel like talking cheerfully. Then Fee opened his heavy mouth.

"Well... I'll go to my uncle tomorrow."

"Right. You should keep it in the chairman's ear."

……

……

That way I will be silent again. When I looked closely, Fee's body was shaking just a little.

"Fee, you..."

"It's me, I'm scared. I don't like it when someone hurts me because Elle is too good... 'cause I know, right? All the time, all the time, Elle said he's been working hard. But this is what I'm talking about!! What is that!!? What would have happened if Elle hadn't noticed!? I regret it. I can't forgive the people who do that. Elle is a single human being because he's an alchemist for the Bitstar Blue Stella. Ignore it, it's a god... no..."

If you look closely, there were tears coming from Fee's eyes. I can't believe you're thinking that far for me...

"Hey, El. You're staying with me today, right? I want to be with El today."

"... ok. I'm staying today."

I live next door to Phee, so I don't need to stay. Normally I might think so. But I respected Fee's feelings. They told me they wanted to be with me, and I rarely ask for Phee like this.

Fee worked hard for me all the time. I know that very well since I started working in college. That's why I wanted to reward her like that.

"... Hey, are you awake?

'Cause I'm not sleepy yet.'

We've bathed each other since then, and now we're both in the same bed. I said I was going to sleep on the couch, but I decided to sleep with him because Fee would turn a disgusting gaze.

We're pointing our backs at each other, and we can hear breathing up close.

"What happens now..."

"I don't know. But we have to take care of this."

"But they're royal, right? If you disobey me badly..."

"If I have to, I'm ready to leave this country"

"... that's not true..."

"Nothing. I can do my research outside. Environmentally, this country is the best, but there are other countries where alchemy flourishes."

"Right...... but I miss Elle"

"... right. I miss seeing Fee, too, and I have a family. That's a last resort."

"Hey, Elle stay by my side the whole time... I don't like that..."

Fee hugs me from behind. Small body. Think about it, I've been watching Fee work hard, so he looked bigger mentally than his body. My age is 10 years apart. But Fee is so small. And I'm shaking. People can't be that strong no matter how old they are. We live in support of each other.

I accepted Fee hugging me, thinking about it.

And when I realized, Fee was sleeping.

"Sooo... sooo... sooo..."

Hit him in the back, and when I saw Fee's face, there were tears. Same goes for drunken times during this time, but Fee is lonely. I've always grown up in a tough environment, and I've been called a genius alchemist. I don't have many friends, and I've also heard the chairman say they were isolated. At that time, I didn't think that would happen only to that Phee. Sociable, diplomatic, and serious and solid about it. That's the impression I had when I was a student. But I've come to work at the same college, and I've come to understand Phee's hard work, and I know she's been working alone.

That's why I need to be the backup for Fee. I'll be by Phee's side the whole time until the day Phee finds someone to marry and doesn't need me anymore.

With that in mind, I fell asleep.

I slept well that night. The insomnia of the previous day made me sleep like a lie. And in my dreams, I saw myself selling crops all over the world. That's me in the future. I will definitely get to that place. analogy, no matter what obstacles….
