The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"I think Mr. Franz is in the west or northwest tower. Let's keep going through the aisle on the fourth floor to the west tower. And we're going for the northwest tower. It's okay, Mr. Edgan is strong, and he left a flame bottle. I'm sure you'd be more than happy to help the others."

Mariella tells Eurique to dispel the slightest sense of guilt she feels when she finds the second bead of memory. I know Edgan is struggling too, but I don't even think Edgan can keep other members safe in a struggling situation. We have to go deliver the flame bottle as soon as possible.

Eurike nods like a blowout at Mariella's suggestion. Euriquet's manipulated leg was even more powerful, and as he quickly kicked open the door leading north, he rushed out toward the west tower.

Bonbong and, at regular intervals, a flame bottle raises the firepillar and burns out the black demon. Not only does Salamander protect the Mariellas from the flames, but he even adjusts the flame-burning range, or the black demons burn by the flames and disappear faster than the Mariellas rush through.

Whether the beads didn't have all the demons, or couldn't they be picked up so hard to rush through, they couldn't find a new ball until they reached the west tower.

Bang! and opened the door of the west tower in momentum and jumped inside, this room had a pine light on it without a shortage. Probably safe.

Someone could be evacuating here.

"Who is it, anyone -!!

Mariella lifts her voice. Mariella's voice is only a wooden spirit to the west tower, and no one can hear her reply.

"Eurike, let's keep going to the northwest tower. Maybe there's nobody here, maybe it's a safe place, so I think we can do this later."

"Okay, and!

With Mariela and Eurike on board, Raptor once again rushes out to the passage at night.

Into a passage where demons darker than the darkness of night are hissing.

"Yes!"

Mariella, who has no fighting power and is out of control, has only a lot of magic. The flame bottle, as magical as it can be, is aided by the wind magic of Eurike to increase the distance flown in the direction of travel, and the raised firepillar is extended further afield by the salamander.

Fire columns rise in the north as if to echo that flame.

It's Edgan. He must have noticed the flame bottle that was delivered to the third floor aisle of the northeast tower.

Probably by the smell of the food I left in the window.

Should I praise you here for being quite a wild man?

Losers and Mariella also throw flame bottles and set up fire columns high.

Mariela thought it was a lot prettier than she had imagined, even though she thought it was a horrible thing to run through a flaming swirling passage like a fire place. I guess it's because Salamander is protecting me, but I feel bright, warm, and powerfully holding Mariella back where she's going at night.

Just before we went through the bright flaming tunnel and reached the northwest tower, its flaming tunnel disappeared to extinguish.

Gentle light plugging in from the east.

"It's morning! So soon!? Water fills! The door's closing!

I can't wait to be tightened out here. Regardless of Eurique or Raptor's cou, Mariela can't swim, and I very much don't think a flaming spirited salamander can exist in the water.

There was plenty of water outside when some black demons managed to run into the northwest tower, not even reluctant to stick around. The fourth floor of the northwest tower was missing as were the doors on the side of the aisle connecting east and west, similar to the northeast tower. Naturally, the pine lights aren't on either. That's probably why they opened the door, even though it was almost submerged.

The sticking black demon disappeared to melt when it touched the water. He doesn't seem to be a water creature, even though it looks like slime.

Mariella, who put a salamander on her head, which is not yet wet in the water, on the water, which is more and more materialized and climbs from the bottom, said, "Eurique, get up quickly!" Raise your voice.

"I know and I know!

With Mariella and the others on board, Cu rushes up the tower at full speed to save Salamander's pinch. The fog seems to keep filling up from the bottom and turning into water at constant concentrations.

If there was such a thing as the Raptor Athletics, Raptor's Coo would run up the spiral staircase of the building with a handsome foot with no doubt about a gold medal.

The boulder once only helped Mariela with Death Lizard's murder blade.

It's usually a bluff, but when you do it, it's a raptor.

After Mariella and the others reached the middle layer of the northwest tower and made sure all the pine lights there were on, Ku finally quit running to fall.

"Coo, thank you. You've helped us many times."

"Coo, it was great. You really are an amazing guy."

"Cawcawcawcaw-"

"Thank you" or "Great job! Is it?" Salamander, who flew from Mariela's head to Cu's head, rings as she taps Peppy and Cu's head with her tail.

Mariella, on the contrary, I wonder how happy I was to be praised by Eurike, who is usually harsh. Cool with his hoof and breath, but he lifts the tip of his tail and pretends happily. Death Lizard gave me the tail, but it was useful to play it back.

"You're making a treat today! A cheerful one."

"You can't eat Raptor cooked?

"……… Gawn"

"Cawn."

If you're talking about Eurike, Ku knows somehow, and Ku sounds unfortunate.

"Coo, you want some?

"Um, it's just a little bit? What if I gave you some magical water?

"Shh," Eurike suddenly took control of Mariella, who stood up to do dinner support while talking like that.

If you look around you at what happened to Mariella, not only Eurike but Ku and Salamander are staring at the stairs that Mariella and the others came up to.

Still breathless, Cu seems to be trying to calm his breath so he can run out quickly.

It should be submerged halfway down that staircase.

It is difficult to believe that the black demon came up because it dissolved in water, and the pine lights are lit without putting it in this room. I thought it was a safe room.

Once again, Mariella's ears heard the footsteps as she dripped water.

It must have been a long time since it was submerged. Are you saying that you've been traveling in the water for so long, that it's exactly who you're trying to get to this hierarchy right now?

When Mariela's nervousness reached Max, Eurike raised his voice with joy.

"Franz!"

"... Eurique, are you all right"

Apparently it was Franz who moved through the water.

The nervous coo is exhaling a hissing "gaffoon".

So much so that Mariela, whose nervousness was Max, would rather say "gaffoon".

However, Franz's words and actions, which came up the stairs soaking wet, were felt somewhere unnaturally by Mariella.

"Eurike, what about that person............?

"And it's Mariella?

"Mariela......, it was. You were my client."

Apparently, he's lost a lot of memory. He only seems to remember Mariela as much as his client did this time.

Unlike Edgan, Franz is a healing wizard, so the black demon must have caused a lot of damage.

"Franz……. When it's night, we'll leave together!

to Yurike, who "dries" the soggy Franz and takes his hand and persuades him, Franz

"I can't do that"

and shake his head.

"Why not? Franz thinks we need to protect this place, too? I can't do this to Franz, the cure wizard! You should leave it to Edgan!

"This temple is something that will take us to our roots. The blood that runs through me tells me I have to protect it."

Franz's eyes peeking from the mask. Its colour is the same golden colour mixed with the beads I picked up along the way, hosting a wet glow reminiscent of one reptile or another, different from the master's eyes. The pupil is elongated longitudinally. If that bead has the same color as Franz's, the hair hidden in Franz's hood must be blue.

No matter how desperately Eurike persuades him, Franz seems unwilling to leave this tower with a stiff of "Protect the temple here".

"In the meantime, shall we have a meal? Isn't Mr. Franz hungry, too?

"Thank you," Franz replies to Mariella's suggestion.

Apparently, the only thing I can't give in is to stay away from this tower, and they'll be spending time with me until nightfall.

"Fish. Then there's something else."

"I'll help you carry it."

I guess you want to stay with Franz at all. Franz caught it and left it to Eurike and Franz, and Ku, to carry the food on the top floor of the tower, and Mariella started cooking.

The demonic fish caught with Eurike are few because they have been plugged into Edgan.

This lean fish is thick and finishes like meat depending on how you cook it, so let's marinate it with vanilla that resembles garlic and the seasoning you bring it before broiling it.

There must have been something just right in the aquatic plants Eurike ripped off with the ingredients in the flame bottle.

Collect medicinal herbs within reach of the window while marinating the lean demonic fish in the Smelting Space. It would be helpful if there were edible aquatic plants, and even more so if there were gepra fruit that would be an ingredient in a flame bottle.

This hierarchy was too deep for Gepra to live in, unfortunately it was all subspecies, but we got what we could get for edible oil. Later, something that can eat roots. For aquatic plants, the sturdy roots are filled with fiber and stuck in the teeth, but after cutting diagonally, fried in oil makes it taste like a burdock. The aquatic salad is a little bitter and monotonous, so it would definitely taste good if served.

Mariella, I'm hungry.

As I roasted the lean fish marinated in the seasoning with salamander, Eurike and the others returned. When I thought it was too late, it seemed that they were also collecting aquatic plants, and there was enough on Ku's back to say whether this was still the case.

"…… an awesome amount. Ku and Franz are powerful."

There was so much baggage between them that the missing dialogue between them accidentally leaked.

The same goes for Coo, who loaded enough herbs to reach the ceiling, but also for Franz, who brought giant snake-like fish demons to wrap around his body.

"This tastes like chicken."

It looks like a demon closer to a snake than a fish.

"Chicken………. Fried from............. To fry with only a little oil………………"

Mariela is serious. He thinks about something while teasing the demons of the snakes with such seriousness as when he makes potions.

"Mariela, do you want to help?

"Thank you, Eurike. So, that snake demon, will you cut it in a big bite?

It's two girls' outdoor cooking. That's the only sight that's supposed to make me smile, but lying in front of them is a snake demon who seems to be able to swallow them whole. Franz gave me the task of putting a knife vertically in the snake's body and peeling it, but it is Yurique who is relentlessly cutting his pink body into crisps. Mariella throws the cut meat into the "smelting space" with the seasoning and "pressurizes it a little", then throws in the powder that can be picked from the imo and puts it all over the "smelting space", spraying it so that less oil is uniform in the "smelting space" molded into a nozzle shape.

Take full advantage of advanced potion creation techniques that you have refined to stay in premium potions.

Overheating

The temperature is important for fried food. Of course it's Mariella, who even created Elixir. Listen to the voice of the meat and finish the fried food with a temperature control that does not miss a drop of the oil of the meat and brings out the flavor during the crisp outside.

You'll only be able to eat here, such as dishes made with such advanced alchemy skills.

"Delicious."

"It's delicious! Franz, if you come with me, you can have this dish every day?

"... unfortunately.... Too bad..."

Even Franz's blood statutes are shaken by Mariela's transcendental alchemy dishes and Eurike's bruised psychological attacks.

Although it was a very tasty and enjoyable time, Franz still didn't tell me he was coming with me in a stiff of "Stay Here".

That night, we were all supposed to sleep on this middle floor.

Mariella's porch has Franz beads. Sleep here and Mariella will have a peek into Franz's past, too. That's what I thought, it was Mariella who said she was going to sleep upstairs, but she was stopped because Franz and Eurike were in danger.

I haven't told Franz the circumstances. Eurike, who knows he dreams of the past, says, "There are still many elements of uncertainty. I think we should take a way to make sure our memories go back," he said.

Apparently, Eurike thinks that "having Mariela" is one of the conditions for restoring memory.

Mariella and the others fell asleep as a bright light plunged in from outside the window.

Mariela's dream of Franz, when she lived in a clinic open to Eurike and the slums of the two empires, with casual daily memories, reminded her of the cabin of the Devil's Forest where she lived with her master, not only of the qualitative clinic setting, but also of Eurike and Franz, who lived together in a whisper.

Nothing special, mediocre days.

The failure to catch a glimpse of the secret did not make Mariella feel guilty, but Franz's memory made Mariella solicit hope.

(I have to retreat my master...)

Salamander, who was round by Mariella, who renewed his will, stared at Mariella with her sparkling golden eyes.

"Mariella, exploring the west tower…………"

While waiting for the night in the northwest tower, Eurike speaks to Mariella.

If you defeat many black demons, the night seems to dawn early and the day will be longer for that matter. Nevertheless, the sense of time is ambiguous in this world in the water, and even though it is my third day here, it feels like it has only been a few hours.

"Franz and I want to get Edgan out of here soon, and it looks safe over there, so we want to go upstairs without exploring the west tower."

That would be Eurike's untrue feelings. He is worried and anxious about Franz, who has lost his memory but does not want to move from this tower.

Based on what has happened to the tower so far, the west tower is safe, and if you go up there, you will get the ingredients, herbs, and food for the flame bottle, and if you go down to the third floor, you will get the bottles and groceries. Even if you leave the majority of the flame bottles in Franz, you can make new ones and refill them. Maybe someone is evacuating by the heavens of the tower. But while I was looking for bottles and herbs, the night dawned and I was stopped for a day.

Wow on the west tower for a day, or the west tower goes upstairs from the passing southwest tower.

(I have two Mr. Edgan beads, so I think there is also an option to go and return Mr. Edgan's memory...)

Mariella told Eurike where to go after getting lost for just a little while.
