The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"…… there is a door that doesn't open?

"No, the material, right?

"Just now, we just confirmed it while it didn't open?

The two of them start pressing questions in front of the east door where the carcass of the caterpillar demon should be rolling.

Mariella, who was in Eurike's just full refusal, had no choice but to approach the door alone.

I can't hear anything in particular when I put my ear on it and hear the sound. Nevertheless, how many humans on earth would be able to hear the crawling sound of caterpillars?

In the meantime, open the door about 10 cm and throw in the dried fish meat. If there were any caterpillar demons left, they would eat them, but I can't feel any movement. Mariella leaks her voice unexpectedly in the tragedy inside, peeking inside wondering if she's safe anymore.

"Wow... Something feels like magic will be grinding..."

If something is galloping, it would be something about sanity different from magic.

Did the surviving caterpillar demon go back under the “hanging" or I didn't see anything moving across the door, but the mucus all over the area and the caterpillar wreckage seems to be in such a state as to sound and scrape the mental power of what I see. Mariella is desperate to reduce the nausea she puts in, even though she can't stand it alone, but the worst is the smell she can stand in, the stench she can't smell like a raw smell.

"We need to do something about this smell alone. The ones around here are too messy to be used, so for now, it's" dry, "" ventilated. "

Thanks to Mariella's considerable magic in drying the wreckage around and blowing it out with the ventilated wind, the corridor on the west side was in perfect condition, both visually and olfactorily.

"……… Mariela, let's get this over with?

You just didn't think you could let Mariella go alone, or, no, but Eurike follows me from behind.

"Thank you, Eurike. Eh, this is…… no good. Then that is……………………."

Thanks to the light that plugs through the window, the caterpillar wreckage looks clear to the detail areas that I don't want to see.

Mariella screams if she thinks it's a bug, and she sighs, "I can't use this either," if she thinks it's material, checking every scratch-free caterpillar wreck.

"What are you looking for?

Mariella, leaving it to one person, when Eurike asks if it might take too long for the caterpillars to come back again.

"Yeah, it's an organ close to my butt, but the caterpillar's gut is soft, so crush it with shock and mix it in a mess"

And I didn't really want to hear the answer back.

"…… then we should look a little further over there?

Eurike took Mariella near the end point of the mucus and flesh pieces that followed gradually as she put Mariella on the back of the cou while trying not to see the caterpillar carcass.

Thanks to such reluctant cooperation of Eurike, Mariela was able to obtain the material she was looking for, in the room on the north side where she had just made the detoxification potion, and began collecting another material.

"Mariela, do you use magic props?

"Yeah. I need this blower."

"Why would you break it if you use a blower?

"Use this part."

A conversation between two people that doesn't mesh subtly. Mariella collects all the blowers from a number of magic props, and when she sends magic, she cuts off the balloon sections with scissors that swell and send the wind, so I can't help but mistake what Eurike means by "use".

When the balloon part of the demonic prop of the breeze sheds its magic, it swells because the cheek bag of the demon of the frog called the vanity frog is used. This demon of the weak category, even when it comes to demons, makes his cheek bag swell amazingly large in order to make himself look strong. The durability of this bag is evident from the fact that it does not break even if it is slightly attached to the bread with swelling, but the best characteristic of this material is that it instantly swells the bag with the magic of the wind if you let the magic flow without having to breathe in the air.

It must be the survival strategy of a vanity frog to swell rapidly, bounce back an attack, and flee with the air that leaves it intact.

It is the demonic prop of the wind that uses this property, but it is not infinitely usable in a dry state because it is the skin of an organism, not to mention a demon, but also a frog. Because it is a consumable to be used while replacing it, another method is employed in today's labyrinth city, but somehow this workshop had this demonic prop of the old way. Of course, I have a few spares for replacement.

Mariella disconnected the balloon section for the blower from the reinforcing wire while chopping it with scissors, and collected only the cheek bag.

Once dried, the powdered cheek bag is simmered in water covered with Shizuku of Life. Gathering wind with magic is a cell that distributes much inside the cheek bag, and if simmered in this way, it can be removed in a clear, sticky state. The process of diluting it with water until it can be filtered, then separating it, and then concentrating it again is inherently very time-consuming, but preliminary as an operation.

"And then - of the caterpillar just now………."

"You don't have to speak up."

Mariella finished her new potion while Eurike gave her a little no.

"This is also the Alchemist's workshop?

"What's going on?

After completing the potion, Mariella and Eurike will check the room at regular intervals as they proceed through the corridor on the north side.

Once we recovered the caterpillar material, we decided to head north so we could rendezvous with Donino as soon as possible while checking the evacuation room.

So I didn't check every room, but every room I opened was somehow an alchemist's workshop.

Every room, like the first one I visited, looks like people were there until just now, with workmanship herbs or, rarely, a meal setting up hot air.

But there are no shadows in any room.

And another strange thing is that materials processed into potions and "crystallized" can be taken out of the room, but when treated herbs are taken out of the room, they collapse and disappear.

Although the smoke balls just mixed with powdered herbs could not be brought out, the smoke balls extracted from the ingredients and reformulated could be brought out even if the ingredients found in some of the workshops were mixed intact.

He won't return to hunger even if he gets out of the room after he gets his meal, so it seems a rule he can't take out of the room unless he converts it into Mariella's "stuff" in some way.

The door of the room, which has been opened so that it can escape at any time, may also be closed by pushing the baggage bitten to the hallway side so that the door does not close once it enters and exits the other room.

These rooms may be encroached upon by demons because there are illuminated magic props in the room or lamps that are not dark with different lights on depending on the room, but the pine lights are not lit at regular intervals like the tower room. You should think about it enough to hide from finding it.

"Act as discreetly as possible to avoid meeting demons"

"I think that would be nice."

Mariela and Eurike carefully proceeded north as they checked inside the room.

It was only a few hours after leaving the southwest tower that the same large, double-open doors appeared before those two. It seems to be around the west tower at a distance.

At night he jumped out of the northwest tower where Franz was and reached the southwest tower, where he met Donino on the west side and was chased by a caterpillar. I think a lot of things have happened at once and it's been a very long time, but if it's normal because I haven't taken a nap, why don't we get along at dawn at night?

Looking out the window, which has been bright for hours, Mariella thinks blurry.

What would Donino have said?

But that's what he said, "When it's properly noon," he said. Doesn't "proper day" mean around noon in the normal world, not after the night shrinks and becomes brighter?

"Mariella, open it?

Eurike puts his hand on the door and makes a final confirmation.

To that last confirmation, Mariella…….
