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

◇

Then a few hours later.

Me and Tania were on perimeter alert relying on the lights on the fireworks.

"... you look sleepy"

"That's sleepy. I left yesterday morning and haven't slept since."

That said, Tania rubs her sleepy eyes.

Talking about that, Turner's gaze is all the way into the woods.

Seems a lot more work enthusiastic.

"I'll keep watch, why don't you sleep in the meantime?

Turner's vigilance against me has already been lifted.

Turner, who was conscious of my hands and feet when we just met, stopped saying anything when I went into Turner's blind spot anymore.

Quite a bit, I think you got credit...

"That's no good. This is a request I received... and when there was a demonic raid, Mr. Marzen couldn't handle what was happening."

"I think I can handle the demons..."

"That kind of overconfidence makes people die. Because I've seen countless people die that way."

Countless......

Apparently, this Turner has a lot of complicated experience even though he's young.

Does that mean that people's lives are light in labyrinth cities?

"But isn't it impossible to do an escort by yourself? I wish I could put two escorts on and watch them in turns..."

"I originally planned on doing that. But they couldn't come any faster, and I was supposed to do it alone."

"He said he couldn't come anymore... errands or something?

"Maybe, but I think he's dead. Well, it's not that uncommon."

From the look on Tania's face, I couldn't read if that was a labyrinth city stream joke or if she was serious.

Is that level that life is light in labyrinth cities...?

Hmm. I have trouble reacting.

Will this place be undone?

"When one of the two escorts is gone, isn't the normal request cancelled...?

"Normally, yes, but this time it was a rush request, wasn't it? Well, I can handle a night's travel alone, so I feel like I have no choice."

"I see... that was a disaster"

That's what I'm thinking. I'll find a solution.

I'm sorry to let my benefactor, who gave me the knowledge of the world today, escort me all night.

... right.

Why don't you stay up all night and make sure you're not too tight?

I should already know how to stay up all night with ease.

"That's right. Why don't you take your pills?

"... what kind of medicine is it?

"It's a pill that makes you feel better, flying tired and drowsy. Drink and you can work tirelessly without going to sleep for days."

That medicine is one of the most convenient I've ever made in alchemy.

The fact that you don't have to sleep sometimes gives you a very great advantage.

For example, there are medicines over five days that you have to simmer without rest as you look at the situation.

Normally, it's a medicine that two or more of us can't make unless we take turns and simmer, but with that medicine, we can make it alone.

... Of course, it doesn't mean I won't have to go to bed completely, but I'll probably have to sleep after the pills run out all night.

But......

"No way, you, are you doing 'that kind of kusuri' -...?

Listening to my words, Tania sounded a little pulled.

This doesn't seem like a good idea to say you're using it.

"No, I just know how to make it.... the ingredients are going to gather around here, and I'll make them if I have to..."

Well, I haven't used it since my current body, and it wouldn't be a lie to say I haven't. Maybe.

Until I was young, when I woke up, I took that pill, went on to study alchemy for days, and went back to sleep for days...

... you won't have a choice. Because authentic alchemy takes time, and there's no stopping the process along the way. Hey.

"I stop because I look scared.... I know those pills, but they don't make a difference."

"Really?

"I hear the side effects suck. If I take it, I won't be a person - or if I don't keep taking my pills, I won't be able to live..."

Somehow, I feel mistaken for drugs.

What I'm trying to make is a decent magic pill...

The side effects are just to get the sleep I was putting behind me, and there are no other side effects.

But isn't it some kind of medicine that you don't like and you can't force him to take?

If you've been up all night for about a day, you can usually figure it out if you try.

"Mr. Marzen, you can sleep. I'm not in the escort for the request, but I'm around the carriage. I can protect you."

"No, I'm the one being accompanied on the journey. I'll help you with the escort."

Honestly, I'm not sleepy at all yet.

It hasn't been half a day since I woke up from 500 years of sleep.

Even if they tell you to go to sleep the other way around, it's hard enough to go to sleep.

"Helping escorts... what can an alchemist do? Do you have a weapon or something?

"No, I don't have a weapon... but you can handle it without it?

From now on, I regularly use the "Eye of Water" to see the situation of demons around me, etc.

As far as I can tell by that, there are no powerful demons within a radius of at least a kilometre.

You don't have to hold a weapon or anything, it's just demons that you can handle with body surgery and alchemy.

Of course, the "Eye of Water" can only capture demons on earth, so unless a flying demon strikes you.

"Demons aren't that sweet....... I think Mr. Marzen should get proper training in the Adventurers Guild once from about Labyrinth Cities. If you are naming demons, you will die just as easily...?

"... ok. Be careful."

While answering that, I activate the "Eye of Water" again.

Then... I could see a small herd of demons coming this way.

Apparently, it's going to be a battle with demons from by my side.
