"What happened to Elle?

"No, a little..."

Funny. I feel like Elle's been hiding something from me lately. Naturally, I thought so, and this guy's attitude over the last few days has been weird or suspicious, I mean... something's wrong.

I don't even care, but I'll be reminded later that this is only the beginning.

"Elle, please hurry up!

"Yes, Master! Not like this!?

"No, I can... I should"

Lunch break. I was just walking in the college courtyard and there were Elle, Serena and Fred. I knew you were getting along with two of the three nobles (it seems Elle beat them up), but what are those three doing?

I thought so and looked at it aloud.

"Elle, what are you doing?

"Whew! Fee!?

"So I told you!? He says he stands out here!

"Master, I'll stop here!

"What, what's all the fuss?"

That's how I peek in from above what the three of us are trying so hard to hide. Then there were carrots and onions with limbs. No, I know. I understand that my expression is strange. But I just think so.

"What is this, El?"

"Er... toy?

"Something's moving... are you getting high? And those onions are a little floating... are they really toys?

"Oh... oh, it's a toy"

"Hmm. Yes, it's a toy..."

and the next moment, when the onion grabs the carrot, it flies high as it is.

"Oh no!? We're still in the prototype stage!

"Duh, what do you do!? El!?"

"Master, what do you do!!?

The three of them start to get pretty upset. Yeah, there's no way it's just a toy. I thought so, but by that moment it was too late.

The vegetables then tried to escape the death... and then they stopped moving with Pickle. When I talked to Elles, he said in half a joke that he would try to incorporate even intelligence into his vegetables because he had a goal of completing a completely independent artificial intelligence... and he succeeded. But it still meant that there was room for improvement at the prototyping stage.

But I decided to let the three of them submit their reflections as punishment for making the college noisy in vain.

In your brain at this time, isn't that homunculus? The question came to pass, but for now I decided not to think about it. Because I thought it would be wiser.

And then Elle showed her true nature. No, that might not be appropriate. In my first semester of college, I pack my theories, and in my second semester, I go hands-on... That's what he said. But the lab exploded, the vegetables rebelled, it was already a real mess. Each time I struggled day and night to erase the event.

"Ha... ha... It's morning..."

When I realized, my lab had a comfortable morning sun plugged in. I've been up all night for the last few days or so handling the scandals that Elle has caused. When I look in the mirror, I have quite a bear, and seriously, I'm dying.

Without exaggeration, I was at my limit. Luckily, there are no classes on holiday today. For that reason I was going to go home and take a shower and go to bed.

"I need to go home... um, go home... shower"

And I fell asleep at my desk.

"Fee!! Phee!! Hey Phee!! Big case! It's a big incident of the century!

"Hmm. A little more..."

"Fee! It's a case! It's a big case of rocking the world!

"... yeah? Big event?"

"Ah. Worldwide stuff."

"... Elle woke you up?

"Ah."

"Ma again ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh???????????????????????????"

My consciousness awakened clearly when I said I was awake. The thought of how to deal with it in the brain was mixed. But it's the limit now. It really breaks my body if I can't do any more. No, really without exaggeration......

But what Elle has been saying was something completely different than what I was thinking.

"Phee. It's done."

"Huh?"

"Homunculus...... now it's perfect. There will be no stoppage of functions along the way. semi-permanently operational."

"So that means you've successfully developed a completely independent artificial intelligence?

"Ah!! Finally, finally!!

"Man, seriously!!!!?"

"Ah!! Come on let's go!!

"Hey, hey!!

Elle looked excited and headed to the lab as she held me to the princess. Seeing as I could hold Elle running, I understood the sunshine of his expression. All the scandals I've ever had were for this time. Always make excuses and say, "I'll make it happen. Absolutely." But that was true. It was not an excuse, it was an indication of willingness to implement what was said.

And when I went to the lab, there was... carrots. I was high on that too. Yeah, what is this?

"What is this?

"Proto."

"Because it's a prototype?

"That's right! Look, we already have more than twenty-four hours in operation! Perfect! The cord in your body won't even collapse! The module starts too! I made it!

"Shh, that's amazing..."

Yeah, it's amazing. This is the greatest feat in the history of alchemists. But I kind of, I'm relieved to cry.

"Phee, what's up?

"No... I'm glad you did your best to get here. El."

"Thanks to Fee. You've been doing this all along after my unscrupulous experiments, haven't you? For me."

"You knew?

"I'll always be in college, too. I know. Thanks, Fee."

"Ugh, yeah......"

I'm going to grab your hand, Elle. All I see in those eyes is pure gratitude. Perhaps I fell in love at this moment.

I've been watching him. It's already December and this year is about to end. I've seen and supported his hard work since April. There's not much I can do, but I'll do what I can. That's what a teacher is. I met Elle and for the first time I thought I was alive decently. A teacher is something that can only be made up of having students. I could have been a real teacher by Elle.

"El... congrats... really congrats..."

"Oh...... thanks, Fee"

And we held each other for a while.

Then at the dawn of the year, I submitted the results of Elle's research to the association. Elle is just an alchemist who is not at any rank right now, but when this happens, we can't ignore him anymore. Until now, I've been through that it's a pain in the ass to take the exam, but reluctantly accept that I will persuade you to take the exam diligently. The exam has written and practical skills, but this time, Elle's paper is evaluated for writing exam. By the way, my practical skills are already over, and the level is equivalent to that of platinum "Platinum" alchemist. But that is well above the reference value, plus the contents of the paper and something so advanced that no researcher can appreciate it. But as a matter of fact, the homunculus is complete.

And the decision the association made was... to make him the alchemist for the Bitstar Blue Stella.

The Alchemist of the Bistar Blue Stella has become the ancestor of the Alchemist, but it is only a formal issue. At the time it was the idea that there should be at least one alchemist in each of all ranks, so I am told that I was forced to take that position.

But this time, he essentially named his first Bitstar Blue Stella alchemist.

This became big news in the country with the birth of the first ever Bi star Blue Stella alchemist.

"Congratulations, El"

"I don't really know how it feels, but if the research results have been evaluated, fine. I wish I could get involved in agriculture."

"Already, do it right! From now on, my name will go through as an alchemist for Blue Stella."

That's how Elle came to the press conference.

Elweed Willis. I met him. It changed dramatically. I can't thank Elle enough. I'm sure this encounter was... destined.
