……

It was only for a moment that I was upset.

Richie immediately smiled and asked Michelle.

"It's very interesting that it's an experiment with Lord Arnold."

He soaked up false curiosity and pretended to be of pure interest.

Michelle must not have noticed that her heart beats fast.

(--we have to pull the information out)

Michelle's 'gunpowder' is a substitute for destroying everything.

When I first saw the power, Riesch felt incredible. The experimental hut exploded from the inside, the stone walls broke apart and collapsed in an instant.

"Don't tell me about this medicine, Richie."

Michelle, who showed her the sight, smiled at her index finger with the black smoke rising from a distance.

I have to hide it properly. The first person to use this powder is my decision. "

Michelle has been looking for the opponent. And Richie, who was a teacher, wanted such a person not to show up forever.

But I finally found it.

The worst candidate in the world, as far as Leicher can imagine.

"I didn't think we'd meet in this country."

Michelle's voice, unlike before, is as calm as whispering.

I also know that Michelle's research has led to the conclusion that Richie was a teacher. Michelle knows how many sounds are coming in which direction and how far.

Michelle, who turned his back on the knights, would hardly hear them.

"My gunpowder was handed over to someone who had real power over the war. That's why I've been looking at the policies that kings of all countries have been doing for years. However, the emperor of Garchain seems to be emotional and troublesome just to read the records. And my son, the Crown Prince, clearly didn't feel fit for my experiment. - Because his policy was exactly the" good king. "

After a soft smile, Michelle put her hair on her ear.

Riesch only asks innocence so that she doesn't notice the impatience.

"Who was the teacher looking for?

In her life as an alchemist, Michelle didn't tell me that.

"It's a secret until you find it," he said with a playful expression. Probably because Riesch was against the "Gunpowder Experiment."

In this life, Michelle may be able to tell us.

Michelle smiled as she stared at her prayer.

"Neither the tyrant king nor the good king is fit for my experiment. The Emperor and Crown Prince of Garchain decided that they would fit into it. What you did with me was quick."

(... that's why the teacher in my life never contacted Lord Arnold.)

Michelle's gunpowder was not used in the war waged by Emperor Arnold Hein.

If Arnold had known about the gunpowder, he would have been practical and engaged in an 'efficient' war. Like he said, he used the pocket watch he lent to Riesch to make his decision.

(The teacher is not interested in people's rumors. Rather than his reputation as the "ruthless Crown Prince" of Arnold, I believed in the "result" of his policy. --And after Arnold became Emperor, he was removed from the experiment for the same reason as the current Emperor.)

But in this life, he found Arnold.

"---... His Highness Arnold is a very good crown prince!

That's what Riesch says and smiles.

"Oh, I can see, I'm a very gentle person. I broke my heart so that the people would not be poor in the war, and the knights were heartbroken by the training and devised their own training methods."

Behavior is superficially bright while carefully choosing words.

"Besides, please listen to me as much as you can. The other day, when I lost a bet, I said," I'll listen to anything, "and instead of giving you an order, you said you wanted to give me a ring. Fufu, isn't it nice?

As if you were proud of your fiancée.

To make sure it doesn't sound like persuading Michelle, Riesch talks with a smile.

"Even if you say something terrible to His Highness Kyle, it's probably not the intention. Therefore, His Highness Arnold is not the type of person you are looking for....."

"Hey, Richie."

A melting smile was directed at Leachet.

"Can I see your husband?

――……

Leachet nods with a natural smile.

"Of course. I'd like to ask you to make some time soon."

"Then let's go see him now. I'm sure you'll forgive me if I'm as kind as you say.

"... Michelle Sensei, that's..."

"I know. You really don't want me to see you."

……

Michelle stared at Riesch with a smile.

"If that's the case, it doesn't matter to you, Richie. I find you as interesting as Arnold Hein."

"... are you kidding me? There is nothing that would interest you, such as me."

"That's not true. Because."

He said this with a peek at Richie.

"You never asked me what gunpowder was like."

Understand the failure.

I tried to be careful not to overreact so as not to be too surprised by the big surprise, but it came out straight in the back.

"It seems interesting to look into you. If you agree, you may not have to go near Arnold Hein."

"... Sensei"

"Fufu, I'm sorry, Richie. I know you're saying terrible things. But this is also my mission."

"Mission?

"Yes, what was created as poison is worth killing. My existence is worth the same thing."

Michelle is still smiling.

"People who have been born to ruin the world must behave according to their mission. My alchemical abilities are what I've been given."

It smelled sweet like flowers.

This is the scent of a cigarette that Michelle often smokes.

"The same thing I was looking for. --Turn the world upside down and make it messy. I've been searching for such a king's qualities."

Riesch, accompanied by his escort knight, was walking in the corridor of the main castle.

Soon after that, Kyle summoned Michelle, and the lesson was over.

Michelle smiled and said, "See you tomorrow, Richie." She left the room as if nothing had happened.

(For the teacher, the conversation was nothing. But that can't be a joke....)

As I walk down the hallway, I want to sigh.

(Dr. Michelle will contact His Highness Arnold by any means necessary. And His Highness Arnold will certainly listen to the teacher's suggestion. Being flexible about new technologies and knowledge was something I knew I was spending time with....)

If Arnold does not know the existence of gunpowder and avoid the future of war, he can imagine what the consequences will be.

(I will not let His Highness Arnold realize the existence of gunpowder. At the same time, we aim to have friendly relations with Coyol.... and as quickly as possible...)

Because I was walking while thinking, my attention to the surroundings became distracted.

As a result, Riesch's wrist is caught in a hand that unexpectedly stretches from the side aisle.

And I rounded my eyes.
