Michelle still intends to make an incident with gunpowder.

I had anticipated and prepared for that, and I intended to proceed with the preparations.

But when I found out that Michelle was actually about to move, I still had a tingling and chest pain.

"... that's not good."

Theodore slaps his tongue. Then he looked back at Riesch and whispered.

"Rovine is not a knight. And yet, it's working as a lord to rule the northernmost part of Garchain."

"... you decided that Dr. Michelle, a guest of Coyol, was the enemy of Garchain."

"That's right. If this was already in my father's ear, there might be some sort of order for my brother."

Riesch squeezed her hands tightly.

Michelle hinted at the attack on Garchain, and Rovine moved into surveillance.

Suppose Emperor Garchain accepts it and orders Arnold to do something.

(Prince Kyle....)

While suppressing the irritability, Riesch looked at Michelle.

"Miss Michelle. What you're trying to do is involve even unrelated people."

"Yeah, I know."

"Sensei...!!

Michelle leaves her fragrant cigarettes on her fingers as she gazes up at Richie.

"I mean, we have to do this for the show. It's the best thing to know about the power of gunpowder and what misfortunes it creates."

"... create misfortune?

"That's right. That's why gunpowder exists, so I should play my role as a biological parent."

For the third time in his life, Michelle always talked.

Everything has a reason and a role to play.

And fulfilling that role is the meaning that has been born.

(So Dr. Michelle and I broke up.)

Richie couldn't accept Michelle's words.

I wanted to stop Michelle from using gunpowder, and I begged.

Eventually, it didn't come true, and I had to walk a different life, and I never saw Michelle again.

"I have to take responsibility for what I have created. --even if it makes someone unhappy, I have to play that role."

It's a loud voice.

"Goodbye, my teacher."

His smile was familiar with the moonlight one day.

In the alchemist's life, I remember the night Riesch last spoke to Michelle. But it was then.

"Sister in law!

Theodore speaks up. There was a knight beside him, and he was struck in the ear.

Liesche heard the report from Theodore and took a small breath.

(... in time...)

Michelle Evan was in a strange mood in the garden of the Garkhain Imperial Castle.

The cause is the girl standing in front of her.

A girl named Riesch, who came to this country and whimsically decided to call her a "teacher," gave us a strong and sincere look.

That's weird.

While tasting the sweet cigarette, Michelle chokes her neck.

(Even though it looks angry, it doesn't seem to be the only one.... though, I don't know how to understand people's minds.)

I remember a distant day like the sunset.

"My wife died because you were born."

The man, the real father, repeatedly said so.

A dimly lit house filled with books. A skinny father. The servant disappeared all the time, and Michelle, who was young, heard such words every day.

You must make amends for me. You Reapers were born to make us unhappy...!

My father used to be a very good scholar.

However, it seems that his mother's death caused him to change. And while putting Michelle aside, which was the cause, she began to hate it very much.

"... I'm sorry I was born, Father."

I squeezed my robe tightly and apologized to my father.

Whether hungry or lonely, I never asked my father for anything. Instead, he reached out to the books that were piled up throughout the Mansion to deceive him into starving empty.

Only when it comes to scholarship is it a little easier for my father to turn to Michelle.

Fortunately, the academics also accepted Michelle.

Knowledge then enters your head and becomes familiar with your body. I was able to use the knowledge I learned in the book just as I breathed and drank water.

Eventually, my father took Michelle outside. Many adults surrounded Michelle, and outside he said.

This child inherits my power. Use it instead of me. "

The adults were upset, but Michelle was very happy.

My father wanted something. For the first time in my life, Michelle was given a role other than 'Making Mother Die, Making Parents Unhappy'.

Father. Is that how I can help your father?

I asked like that with a feeling of trust.

And he said, looking at the abominable things.

"... of course."

I remember my body jumping to the cold.

I'm raising you as a Reaper, so it's at least as useful as that. Because that's your "correct use". "

……

Hearing my father's words, I forgot how I felt a long time ago.

I don't feel like I'm standing well enough, and I think my heart hurts. You may have had difficulty breathing, crouched in your wobbly vision, and murmured, "I'm sorry."

However, Michelle became closer and closer to academics as his father threw him out.

After being put into the lab, the world has widened. If you want to know, if you do experiments and research, they will always give you answers.

Alchemy is much clearer than my father's mind, or the mood of the day.

Besides, the adults around the lab were a little nicer to Michelle than my father.

Michelle is amazing just because of his son.

While secretly making them feel like brothers or fathers, Michelle learned a lot about alchemy.

I think these days have changed because of only minor actions. Looking at the documents written by adults, Michelle added a lot.

Because I quickly found out what was missing from the plan, what was extra, and what could become uncertain.

─ I'm sure it'll all work out.

I ran a pen with ease, but my heart was flustered.

It is a problem that adults were worried about and thinking face-to-face about making drugs that have certain effects.

On top of that, I multiply these chemicals with each other. I don't know if I'm going to do an experiment, but look, I don't know.

That said, Michelle raised her face.

I may have helped someone for the first time in my life.

Perhaps the only right role for Michelle, who was born to make her parents unhappy, is to help people with these scholarships.

I had such a stupid dream.

Michelle.

What resounded was a horribly cold voice.

─ You really are a Reaper child.

Their gaze pierced Michelle.

The adults looked down at Michelle and whispered to each other.

What the hell is going on? I didn't know you were so good at making drugs to kill people.... "

Nobody has taught me, so I guess this talent is natural. My father was right. "

If we produce this drug in large quantities, our country will be able to win the war without fighting. But is it really okay to create such a devil's invention in practice?

In short, Michelle was born to kill and unhappy someone, as his father said.

The drug was never used after all.

Because the enemy attacked the royal castle, everything was burned, and all the experiment plans were turned to ash. My father and other alchemists also lost their lives, and Michelle alone fled the war, but then he turned around on his own.

Thanks to his father's name, Michelle was well received when he went to a country of academic excitement.

Among the studies published in my father's name, I found that Michelle had a lot to think about in that dark mansion, but it doesn't matter.

All that's left is scholarship.

When it comes to that frontier, alchemy is an unexpected pleasure.

Instead of researching for someone, researching for your own interests is something that feels very calm and soft.

I'm sure this is how you feel when you interact with friends and family.

That's why Michelle was so convinced when the gunpowder was born after the research.

I was good at making people unhappy, so I created this.

And this powder, like Michelle herself, has the power to make someone's life unhappy. And now that everything has been created in this world, we must fulfill the significance that has been created.

"The significance of being born as a poison is to make people unhappy as they are supposed to be."

Speaking of which, the other day, Richie said, "You don't have to be meaningful, you can exist in this world."

But there is nothing meaningless in this world. Those things have been eliminated as unnecessary and there should be none left.

Faced with a little distance, Richie opened her mouth as she looked at Michelle.

"... when I heard that word from someone before, I asked foolishly. 'Can poison really make someone happy?' But it was a mistake, and I shouldn't have asked, I should have said so."

For a short time, the teacher categorically denied Michelle's idea.

"--Even poison can make someone happy."

"Fu"

It's really an unusual girl to make.

"People like me don't really take words."

"I am your teacher. However, no matter what you say, I can't accept everything you've taught me."

Michelle listened to Richie with a smile on her face.

It will be 18 o'clock soon. There may be some discrepancies, but in about that time, three barrels of gunpowder planted in the capital will explode.

Unlike snow-covered coyols, the calm climate of spring Garchein makes it ideal for working with gunpowder.

Unmanned outdoor experiments have been completed, but this is the first attempt in the city. In a remote experiment with gunpowder, Michelle had been making plans for a long time.

Building density, depending on climate, humidity and weather.

I strolled around the emperor's capital of Garchain day after day to find a place that fits the conditions. On this day, when the sun was clear and the air was dry, I followed him with all three.

They use clockwork to create a way for sparks to explode when time comes. I'm sure there 'll be quite a lot of damage, and it's no wonder the dead are out there.

And the Garkhein emperor, who puts so much weight on the war, will not escape.

Soon the time will come.

"Sorry, Richie, that's what I have to be.... I taught you only to be a monster, my human joke."

"The role of a person is not determined by someone. Not only for others, but also for yourself! For the teacher, I may be a" teacher for a while, "but I want to take on a different role."

--This time.

I felt like Riesch was muttering a little. And she looks back at a tall man with grey hair.

"I apologize, Lord Lovine, for the falsification of your position. But first, let me talk about how we can converge here. He hasn't told you what Michelle Evan is going to do yet, has he?

"... you're right, lady."

Uncle Frontier is right. Michelle has yet to tell us what kind of attack she intends to launch against the Emperor's capital, including the existence of gunpowder.

Experiments are more likely to fail if the existence of uncertainties is not taken into account.

Remote experiments have a lot of uncertainties. Gunpowder planted in the Imperial Capital could have ended in underdevelopment for some reason.

For that reason, the inside of my hand is not revealed.

I wonder if Richie had read Michelle's thoughts. In that case, I thought it was like a teacher who had been around for years, and it was just a little strange.

(I can't possibly have the aptitude to put someone beside me.)

Though Kyle came to mind, I decided not to think about it.

Either way, we're almost there.

"Now we are going to solve Michelle Evan's 'misunderstanding'."

……

Michelle blinked at Riesch's unexpected words.

(Oh, I see. Leesher knows gunpowder, but she doesn't know I can detonate it in a time-bound fashion.)

In the first place, it's not even clear if you really understand gunpowder.

Perhaps if we keep Michelle in custody, the catastrophe of 18: 00 won't happen.

Richie stared straight at Michelle thinking like that.

"A teacher once taught me alchemy." In experiments, uncertainty is always present. Experiments can easily lead to failure if their existence is not taken into account. "

They let you go and breathe.

I like Michelle's idea. Richie never misses Michelle with her clear green eyes.

"No matter how talented you are as an alchemist, if you lack the information on the 'Tokens' you will participate in the experiment, you will not be able to achieve the expected results."

Somehow Riesch had a golden pocket watch in her right hand.

"Your experiment has failed."

That's what she says with dignity.

"You can't possibly have assumed the existence of an uncertain element called me. ― ― And everyone involved in this matter did their 'work' quickly.

"What do you mean...."

Far away, the bell rings.

The tone of the clock from the church, which also serves as a clock tower. The time was 18: 00 when Michelle planted the bomb.

The sky of the imperial capital, just before the sun set, was dyeing dark blue.

Michelle looks west into the imperial capital, overlooking from this garden. I wonder if one of the plots was around there.

It was then.

"... bite?

The line of light runs very short vertically.

But if it's lightning, it's strange. The sky is clear and lightning falls from heaven to earth. But now the light went up from bottom to top.

It's like running up into the sky.

"... no. That's....."

"What you produce is not just poison. Even if it only seems to you to be 'harmful to people', if you change the way you use it, it will create a variety of values."

The next moment.

With a loud burst of sound, the grains of light bounced and flew in the sky of the Imperial City.

That's gunpowder.

I knew it at first glance, but it wasn't what Michelle had in mind.

On the contrary, it was an incredible sight.

It was like a large flower.

Chemicals that are supposed to crush and kill people are blooming in the night sky with Aurora's brightly colored flowers.
