There is nothing impossible in advanced alchemy. -Universal skill to match the other world-

"Oh. Half a serving, though.... From what I've seen, it looks like the carriage is broken and in trouble... but I might be able to fix it"

The girl hears it and looks at the man because she thinks she is to be escorted.

Then the man answered.

"Were you a carriage technician, not an alchemist? Then you're welcome.... I'll unload my stuff, just give me a minute."

That said, the two of them start unloading their loads in the carriage.

... Apparently they didn't believe you were an alchemist, but instead they thought you were a carriage technician.

Well, if you can fix the carriage and sell thanks, can either.

Watching with that in mind, the men finished unloading their bags.

"Okay. I'll pay you well, so if you can fix it, fix it.... the wheel stopped moving."

Saying so, the old man points to the wheel of the carriage.

The fact that the wheels don't move is probably a bearing problem.

That's what I think. I glance at where the bearings are.

Then... the bearings were broken.

It is an extremely primitive bearing that is not even lubricated, just with a axle attached to a wooden cylinder.

Now there's no point in breaking it easily.

Perhaps it burned with friction heat and stopped working.

"... I see. Looks like we can fix this."

No matter how many half-service I am, there's no way I can fix something so simple.

If I had trained for a hundred years and said that I couldn't even repair a crude bearing made of wood, etc., I couldn't complain enough about my master killing me.

"Oh, thank God. You don't seem to have the tools... do you want to use something?

"You don't have to."

I'll put my hand on the bearings.

And build simple alchemy magic - pouring magic into the missing parts of the bearings.

Trees originally have the nature of sucking and growing magic.

Even after being cut down and turned into wood, the original nature of the material remains inside.

If we control it well with alchemy and let it grow to fill the broken parts, we can fix it with simple repairs.

"For now, don't move with this"

The bearings that were broken went back to normal in seconds of things.

Nevertheless... if it stays in this structure, it might break again soon with friction heat.

If the repaired carriage breaks quickly, you can be held accountable.

For once, do you want me to reinforce it a little?

Nevertheless, there is no way to add new ingredients......

(stiffening)

I use alchemy to mess with the composition inside the tree and harden the surface.

Messing with the nature of a tree is a very simple alchemy that I had already mastered when I was ten.

The harder the object, the smaller the friction.

As a result, just a few millimeters hardening the surface dramatically reduces the heat of friction.

That way, the bearings are less likely to burn.

"Then, hey, I also kept maintenance. This should make it look good."

That's what I say, I push the carriage gently with my hands.

Then the carriage moved without much resistance.

If it were a horse, it would be easy to pull this much off.

"Oh, let's try it!

That's what the man says, make sure the carriage is in good shape.

And then he made sure the carriage moved without any problems... and turned a grin on me.

"Works fine. When I suddenly mentioned an alchemist or something, I wondered what I would do... with all those arms, the carriage repairman would open it!?

"Helpful...... I can't believe I met an amazing technician on such an occasion"

"... I might open it."

A man and a girl look at the place where the carriage was repaired, saying so.

It's in a subtle mood to be praised when repairing a carriage.

I don't know how many half-service alchemists I can't do that......

"Pay the reward. I hadn't fixed the price...... how about 50,000 geese?

50,000 Gears......

Apparently, the unit of money isn't the same as in the world when I was there.

It doesn't seem good to leave the city without information.

"The thing is... I don't need the money for the reward, so can you give me some info?

"... information?

Listen to what I have to say, and the man narrows his eyes.

If a stranger suddenly asks for information, there's no reason to be suspicious.

"Oh. Information. Actually, it came out of the country, and I don't even know the value of that currency called 'Geese'. I was wondering if you could tell me your common sense around it instead of the reward."

"He said he doesn't know Geese... the countryside isn't on the level. What the hell country are you from?

"... it's the Kingdom of Louina"

What I answered was the name of the country where the Institute was located.

Five hundred years ago, this was called the Kingdom of Louina.

But......

"Kingdom of Louina...... That's a name you've never heard of"

The man replied without hesitation.

It's not an atmosphere where you're lying.

...... I didn't know that the name of the country had changed and that civilization was not only in decline, but that the name of the country was not even known only 500 years ago.

What the hell happened to this world?

That's what I think...... a man asked a girl.

"Hey, can I take care of that?

"I'm fine... are you okay?

When I heard the man's words, the girl looked surprised.

Apparently, taking me was unexpected.

But it takes a man to convince a girl.

"Think about it. It's still over a day to get to the Labyrinth City.... in the meantime, if the carriage breaks again, I'm stuck again"

"... if you take this person, will you be able to fix it?"

"Oh. That's what I'm talking about"

When I heard that, the girl nodded.

Apparently, I got your consent.

"All I want to hear is from this guy.... and never touch the load."

"Okay."

"Negotiations are in place.... while I'm at it, thank you."

That's how I got my sources to know about the world today.
