The next day. Me and Fee were coming to the association. To tell the chairman about yesterday.

"Uncle, the truth is..."

That's what Phee starts talking about yesterday. The chairman who hears that holds his head.

"... you've come that far... take care of this one... ah. Speaking of which, do you know something like this?

"" Is this...?

It was something that me and Fee had never seen before. Square and small black chunks. At first glance, he looks like a bug.

"This is one of the lost technologies mined from the labyrinth. They can pick up a sound within a 5 meter radius of everything and transmit it. Technological systems are different from alchemy."

"Heh... that's interesting"

That's how I stare at the object. Yeah. If you look a little bit, I can see if that's the smelt, but this is completely different. What the hell kind of technology system...

And the chairman speaks of unexpected things from there.

"Actually, there was another one."

"There was...?

"But the other one was stolen on the way..."

"" No, it was stolen...?

"I have an idea there. Is this about your body?

No way. I think I'll explore and look at my body. But nothing. There was nothing like that.

"Hey, Phee. You have nothing either... Ro...?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. There it is..."

Fee removes a small black object from the inside pocket of the suit. And that was definitely the same thing on this desk.

"Ha... I checked and saw just in case, but still? I have trouble with Prince Oscar..."

"Hey... wait a minute. This was my personal life in full sight...... you mean?

Saaah and Phee's one blues. Sure, if you ask me, the sound alone would be pretty good information. You can tell me the conversation between me and Fee is almost out of order.

"Oh no... maybe even a conversation then? No way, even then!!? KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I can't forgive you for all this time!! This is an invasion of privacy!!

Fee stepping on a douchebag and a bunch of waste to clean up. Yeah, you haven't seen it in a while. How is this beautiful...

"El-kun. Or I want to make sure of one more thing. This is pretty classified information, but the proto's in the workshop now?

"Yes, I'm here."

"Can you confirm that now?

"Well, the alchemy path is connected, so I know... keh... duh?

I trace the first material, Prima Materia, and look for traces of the prototype. Normally there is no work to be done, something that ends in less than 10 seconds. But I can't connect. I can't connect the path to the proto.

"What? No proto?

"... Again? Prince Oscar grabs the proto. Was this definitely information too... you actually put your men inside the mystics. I heard from you earlier... Was it too late..."

"Proto... Proto..."

Proto kidnapped you? I've always been with Proto.

He said that when he was healthy, when he was sick, when he was joyful, when he was sad, when he was rich, when he was poor, he swore to love the proto, to honor the proto, to comfort the proto, to help the proto, and, as long as his life was there, to give his heart away... did those guys take the proto away from me?

For our own desires, my proto...?

I can't forgive you. I will never forgive you!!!

"Phew! Hit the royal castle!!

"Ouch!! I'll kick your ass!! Our alchemy is for this time!!

"Ha... ma, will it? In the meantime, I hope I have proof...... don't overdo it flashy. Good luck to you."

When the chairman said so, we quickly headed to the royal castle.

"Royalty is what it is!!!

"Oh my goodness!!!

§ § §

"Please! Please! We're here to break the dojo!!!

"That's right! Yes, open it! Let us in!

We make a scene in front of the main entrance to the royal castle. Then the same maid emerges from inside as before.

"... Prince Oscar is waiting inside"

"Ha ha!! It's gonna be a blood festival!

"I'll make you regret the invasion of my privacy..."

Unfocused eyes led us straight to the throne.

"Hey... I've been waiting for you. Elweed Willis."

Prince Oscar sat on that throne for some reason. Sure he said yesterday that the king would be gone on expedition, but even though Prince Oscar is not even his rightful successor... what's that attitude?

"... you know why we're here, don't you?

"Of course, it's for this guy, right? And Arsfira is this it?

So the Oscar bastard came with the proto in his right hand and the bug in his left.

"...... YOU AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Ready? Let Proto hurt you too, I don't think you have your life!!!!!"

In the hands of a fucking prince, the proto is rambling with jitter. Oh... Proto, poor thing... I'll let you go soon.

"Wow. Scary. Apparently, it's true that you're obsessed with this. Besides, Alsfira and I have been talking about it for a long time. Speaking of which, are you lovers? You seem to live a long life."

"That was just Phee getting drunk"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!!! I don't like it anymore. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Kill him, kill him, I'm gonna die too. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Fee went mad. But, well, it would be a boulder to be asked that insanity.

"In the meantime, if you want this carrot back, you should go down to my military gate. I'll let you curse Curse then, too."

"... Curse Curse"

Curse Curse. That was the alchemy used in the days when slavery was there. It takes control of the opponent and manipulates him as he pleases. That's already doomed technology, but was there anything I could still use?

"... ok. Deal with the deal."

"Errr!!! That's..."

"... it's okay"

Boss, I'm going to Oscar. On the way to the throne, dozens, no, nearly a hundred alchemists were waiting. I see, the mystics.

"Return the proto first"

"I can't do that. Let's do it simultaneously."

"... ok"

I'll give you my right arm. And the moment Oscar carved out the curse Curse's smelting formation, there was a prototype back in my hand.

……

I try to give you my right hand all the time, but in an instant, it becomes shunned. Oh... you were so scared of me...

"Ha ha ha ha!!!! Now this kingdom is mine!! The Alchemist from the Bistar Blue Stella fell into my hands too!!! Oh... God, I... I did it!!!!

Oscar screams that way in a voice of joy. And Oscar quickly tries to use the curse Curse.

"Hehe. Well, let's use the curse Curse, quick. Elweed Willis. Hurt Alsfira. You don't have to kill me. But the woman's rebellion was troublesome inside. Do it..."

At the same time I slowly approach Fee.

"Ugh... that's a lie, isn't it? Oh, Elle's important about me, too, isn't she? Hey......?

Phee trembling like a pull and a deer. And as I approached Fee, I shook my right hand straight up.

"Hih!!! What, huh?

"I need a proto. I have business with that fucking prince."

"Ugh... yeah"

Gently, so gently give the proto to Fee and I'll go back to Oscar.

"Ba...... stupid!!? The curse Curse is not working!!!? Even platinum-class Platinum alchemists can't resist!!!

Oscar stands up backwards. Is this guy stupid? How can I suppress Blue Stella, the star, if the sample is platinum?

This stuff is further down, further down, in the early stages of the study of protocols. I can resist such a crude smelting formation in seconds. I don't even make it.

"Oh, you guys stop!!! Don't let him near me!!

When Oscar says so, nearly a hundred alchemists unleash alchemy on me. But that's too crude. It is too late to organize the smelting formation from scratch. Overwhelmingly slow.

I snap my right hand to the side and the ice realm widens around me. And freeze not only the feet of the elephants, but also their hands.

"Ha...... ha!!!? Alchemist for Platinum and Gold!? that in an instant............!!?

This asshole was mismatching my strengths. Well, that's no choice either. My performance is research, not combat. Besides, you know my strength is limited, and I guess you weren't thinking about finding out that much. You got too strong an impression of the name of the Bitstar Blue Stella. Still, I'd be a little more prepared if I were you. You thought you'd win if you cursed Curse, you dumb bastard.

And I come in front of Prince Oscar.

"Hey... how do you put it down?

"Hii! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!! Oh, not me!! Oh, they said do it!!!

"It's ugly......"

"Hihi, good, good!! Cold!! Cold no no no no!!!!"

I twitch and freeze it off my leg. And once I stop it, I laugh at Nia and start talking again.

"Hey, just freeze the limbs... Shall we cut them a little bit?

"Hihi, good, good, good!!! That's all!! That's all!! Oh, and I'm royal!!? If anything happens......!!

"You think I'm gonna give in to that? You weren't royal at the time you took the proto. Criminals. Punish sin... right?

The face of Oscar gets even bluer when I take my eyes seriously and stare. Did you finally understand I meant it? You stupid prince.

"Come on...... a few seconds later ~? Until the limbs freeze. Come on..."

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

When a dumb voice sounds, the back door opens. And there was the king and Alice.

"Oscar, if you let me swim, is this quick? Ha... pathetic..."

"Oh, Father..."

Oscar sees the king who is supposed to be leaving and opens his eyes.

"Oscar. So I told you, there are limits to things. To piss off the alchemist of the Bitstar Blue Stella is a silly son...... Lord Elweed Willis. And Lord Alsfira Medice. I'm sorry about our son this time...... I'll punish him, will you forgive me for this for today?

"... ok. If that's what the king says..."

I unlock my alchemy and keep going through the door with Fee.

"Doctor, will I see you again?

That's what Alice says, so I smiled at Nicole. Well, the proto is back, and that asshole will be brought to justice. That will be enough.

§ § §

Later, or the end of that asshole asked the chairman at the association the next day.

"Prince Oscar stripped of his right to inherit the throne. And they say it's a month in jail. Plus, I hear El-kun and Phee have individual apologies. Did the king say you were unhappy?

"No, it's not... it's over."

"I wanted to hit him about a shot, but well, Elle did it for me, so fine"

"Well... so that's the point."

The chairman takes a piece of paper from his desk. Me and Fee look at that and wonder if there's anything else. I don't suppose you have any more errands here?

"It's a request from the association to Elweed Willis and Alsfira Medice. I'd like to ask you to attack the Sixth Labyrinth."

"What? The Sixth Labyrinth?

Sixth Labyrinth. It is a labyrinth near the kingdom of Canovaria. But why are we...? Fee was shaking next door thinking so. Oh, well. Speaking of the Sixth Labyrinth......

"So, the Sixth Labyrinth? Yes, no, no, no, no, no, no! I just don't want to get involved in that labyrinth, okay, okay, okay!! Forgive me!!!!

It's going to be half frenzied, Phee.

Yes, the Sixth Labyrinth is also known as the Labyrinth of the Spider Kuku.

In the meantime, well... my retirement is still going to be ahead of me... and ho...
