"So, what's the status quo?

"Oh... that's..."

We went into a nearby cafe. But if people around you see or ask me, it's not good, so I create barriers to recognition inhibition with alchemy. I really don't like this kind of use (worst case scenario is demotion of the ranks, or disqualification as an alchemist), but well... I wouldn't bother anyone.

First the chairman asked me to attack the Sixth Labyrinth.

"Why is that?

"Apparently, a giant spider, Hughespider, has overflowed from the Sixth Labyrinth. This is what happened a month ago. So I got a request from the Elf village for help from the kingdom. This went to the chairman, and a white feather arrow stood on me and Phee in a careful selection of alchemists. The two of us are one of the best in the kingdom when it comes to alchemy."

"Heh... I see. So, you were able to attack to the 10th level?

"That's what you need to hear. Hughespider, the giant spider on the 10th layer, is pretty big first. Normally around 6m, but what a 10m grade that guy is. I also use alchemy for metastases. Fee and Monica covered it, and I killed it with the peculiar alchemy Extra. It also maximized output with Sage's Stone, absolutely zero degree Absolute Zero."

"Is...? Absolute Zero Degree" Absolute Zero "Using Sage Stone......? Were you the one who couldn't win if Elle didn't get that far?

"Ah. First of all, the amount of magic is out of step. The amount of magic is not necessarily proportional to the size of the body, but the demons may be different. It was better than the three of us. Plus, Absolute Zero has finally been decided while being resisted. That's a low estimate, but it's A-grade."

"Oh, is it the demon of Class A... even the Knights need hundreds and hundreds of people in Class A, but it's a boulder..."

"No, because this time it was quite impossible. After that, my body nearly collapsed. Class A is still impossible for the three of us, not normally."

"So, right. I thought Elle could do anything, but he said there are limits to boulders..."

"You know my total magic power is low, right? I don't care if it's just skill, but out of stamina is the biggest drawback."

"Ha... that's a really awesome story. But I can't believe that Elle, who only thinks about that crop, is willing to ride that labyrinth attack..."

Serena and Fee are both mistaken, but my ultimate aim is to make the best crop ever and sell it to the rest of the world. Labyrinth attack makes its legs swollen. If the skill of alchemy is further increased, we may be able to easily produce homunculus like Proto and No. 1. My research into fully independent artificial intelligence must go even further. I can sigh when I tell Celina early that the Labyrinth attack is connected there...

"I'm kind of relieved. I knew Elle had to be!

"More serious than that, but don't you know what magic comes out of fairy tales and fantasy stories?

"Magic, is it? Interested in that pre-epoch thing? It would be a subordinate compatibility of alchemy, that's"

"Let me know if you know for now"

"No, you don't. Because I was a person who didn't really touch the book. Especially for fantasy stories like that..."

"Well... well, thanks for listening. Okay, I'll be excused."

That said, when I take the slip softly, I'll finish accounting for the two of them.

"Hey, hey! Aren't I supposed to be luxurious?

"That's a lie. I asked you out, I'll pay for it."

"Ugh! That's what..."

"Hmm? What?

"Nothing!!

Then Serena said, "Hmm! I said," I left. Mm-hmm. Again, I don't know what a woman's heart is.

And I'm done with everything I'm gonna do today, so I decided to go home.

§ § §

"... welcome back, ah... did you?

Open the door, and... close it. Oh, I'm tired. I've done so much death fighting in the labyrinth. Both the primary material PrimaMateria and the magic were exhausted. Thanks to the treatment of Phee and Monica, they are fully healed, but I guess the mental aspect is still exhausted. I can't believe I'm seeing this hallucination.

Yes, there's no way Alice could have gotten inside my house in her maid's clothes. Assuming she's a princess, huh? It's crazy to dress as a samurai, and I was definitely locking the house. Besides, I have a lot of problems with my room being seen (crop research materials, etc.), so I don't want to go in with alchemy. This door won't open without my keys. or key. Key......? That's what I think. I open the door again.

"... welcome back, ah... did you?

"What are you going to do, Alice?"

"Oh? Didn't you mind?

"No, that's not the problem. Why are you in my house?"

"I got your parents a key."

"... Huh? Such lies..."

"Look, this is it. When I told you to let me clean the teacher's room, you gave it to me. Well, I lied that I had permission from the teacher."

"Ha... it's trespassing."

"Well, well. Besides, I've been waiting for you in this, haven't I? Isn't that cute?

"What? You're dressed as a samurai, aren't you? Does that fall into the cute category?

"They seem to be popular in the public, but couldn't they be teachers? I'll get dressed."

That said Alice runs into the room. Ha... here comes a troublesome guy. You suck at breaking and entering, normally......

Well, Alice won't do anything weird, and I trust her... but I want you to choose a few more ways.

I know you know I'll forgive you, but I'm tired of everything...

"Ha! Would you prefer this one?

"Oh, yeah."

When I compliment Alice on her outfit, I sit on the couch.

"Ha... I'm tired..."

"You make tea."

"You know what I mean?

"Because I asked your mother."

"... right"

I decide to sweeten it to your words and have it filled with tea.

"Yes, go ahead. Doctor."

"Helpful"

Drink hot tea with Zuzu. Ha... this is best when you're tired.

Then the one from Alice sits next to me. Close, but I don't have the strength to stand still today. Can we keep this up?

"Doctor, I'm sorry about your brother Oscar."

That's what Alice says, deeply raising her head.

"No, nothing... that's enough. Besides, Alice has nothing to do with this, right?

"No, because it's true I was letting you swim. I overlooked the fact that they caught my teacher's precious prototype."

"Oh...... but now he's doing fine too. Besides, Alice's been thinking a lot for me, hasn't she? Fine. Instead, thank you."

"... is that true?

"... ah"

"Aren't you angry?

"Of course."

"Hehe, good!

Alice stares at me with a full smile. Right, was this guy anxious? Think you bothered me. I'm usually kidding, but I'm still royal. A disciplined one.

"Speaking of which, Doctor, is the labyrinth offense progressing?

"Hmm? You know what?

"Yes. I asked the chairman. I don't have a teacher, so I was wondering what was going on, and I explored a lot, and I heard he went to the Sixth Labyrinth."

"I see. Now we've attacked to the 10th level. You just don't know the bottom line. Besides, the only level of demons is B ~ A. Oh, my God, actually."

"Huh...? Even a teacher struggles?

"Then I'm a human being, too. I'll have a hard time with the crowd."

"Ha ha... boulder, it's a labyrinth"

"Oh, speaking of which, does Alice know a fairy tale or something? The one with the magic coming out of it."

"Yes, that book would be in my room."

"... seriously!! Can I go and read it tomorrow!? I want to read it right away!

"Heh heh. Fine, but today... can you stay?

I say with a nigga laugh, but there's nothing like being able to stay. Fee's staying here, too.

"Oh, good."

"Yay! Then I, I'm not taking a bath!

That's how I stared at Alice disappearing into the bathroom skipping.

All right, now I've got a lead. And then I wonder if you have the information I want...

But I'm going to know that it's going to be tough after this.
