Renkinjutsushi Desu. Jijou wa Gomibako ni Sutete Kimashita

Three days after the nomination request pushed in. In the meantime, I kept working busily, Lace, but it was worth it, and the remaining requests were in one piece.

The number of Elixir remnants is just one, and it's really critical. The rest would be terminated if the Elixir was delivered to the client to complete the request.

"Are you a nobleman?"

"Yes......"

Early in the morning, what Amelia told me at the Adventurer's Guild was that one of the nomination requests Reyes refused seemed to have belonged to a great nobleman.

Thank you. The aristocrat wanted to meet with Reis in person.

As for Reis, I still refused the nomination request because it wasn't just from that nobleman, so I just want you to stop complaining, but nobility is a pain in the ass for having something called power anyway.

It's troublesome for Reyce to ignore him poorly and persuade him to talk, and he's thinking of accepting to meet him. I'd really like to accomplish my last request right away and rest.

"Here's the letter I deposited...... you know, good luck"

Amelia's sympathetic Reis returns a bitter laugh. If you look from the side, you'll see that you're tired. Reyce exhaled loudly and went outside the Adventurer's Guild.

I've been getting extra tired lately because I started walking outside quite alert because of one case of a bag being stolen.

Reyce told herself this was the last mountain range and began to move her legs.

And...

"... Big"

The zones lined with wealthy homes are lined with buildings that, from Leis' point of view, can only be described in vain as big. The aristocrats who sought a direct conversation with Reis at the heart seem to live in a mansion that is particularly large and brilliantly decorated among them.

"Ha... go"

Reyce never wanted to, rang the bell. Then, soon, a samurai-like figure came out of the mansion.

What can I do for you?

"My lord here asked me to talk to him..."

The samurai looked chilly at the letter that Reis held in her hand and lowered her head gently.

"I'll show you."

He proceeded without hesitation toward the mansion, and Reyce followed him in silence. If the mansion is as luxurious as the exterior, and has some distinctive points, is it that paintings, pots, etc. are decorated with various objects?

As Reis looks inside the mansion uncommonly, the leading maid stops.

Sir, it's a customer.

"Let me through."

When permission was granted, the samurai opened the door and encouraged Reis to enter the room.

Reis enters the room, remembering some nervousness.

Inside were young blonde blue-eyed men and multiple servants nestled between the walls of the room. To investigate, a blonde man sitting in a chair with a smile must be the dominant player in this mansion.

Reyce is heartily surprised to look younger than she thought.

"Oh, you're the rumored alchemist. I'm sorry to call you out of the blue, but call me there."

Reis sat back on the chair provided, as the man told him.

"Well, shall we introduce ourselves first? My name is Virus Redium, nobleman of this country. Greetings."

"It's Reis. I'm an adventurer. Best regards,"

Finishing his greeting, Reyce looks at the virus again. The feeling of contact does not feel that high pressure atmosphere. The aristocracy was somewhat hoarse because Reis imagined it to be some arrogant figure.

"Hmm, you're young."

"Huh?"

"No, it was rumored to be an amazing alchemist... no, it surprises me"

"Huh."

I didn't call you to talk about that.

Nothing came out of being incited, and it was Rayce's genuine desire to let him go home as long as he talked to the public.

Did you read that sentiment from Reyce's subtle expression, the virus laughs bitterly?

"Sounds like you don't need foreclosure. Shall we get down to business then? - Aren't you going to sell me Elixir?

The words of the virus, unleashed with a smile on his face, were what Reyce imagined. The purpose of the virus remains the same, Elixir. Then Rayce's response is also decided.

"Excuse me, I refuse"

Reis speaks a clear word of refusal. I heard that word. The virus never breaks the smile. I guess I knew it would turn out the same way when I met him and asked him again, more than if he had made a request and said no once.

Then what did you bother to look at each other for?

As Reis waited for the next word, the virus gave one of his servants something like a signal. Then the servant came to Lace's side and offered him a bag filled with something.

"Heavy......!

The moment you receive it, it conveys a firmer feel to your palm than you think. A peek in the bag contained a large quantity of gold coins.

"What is this... gold coin?

"Oh, yeah. Contains about 300 sheets"

"Nah......!

The amount Rayce is receiving as a reward for requests regarding other elixirs is about 150 pieces of gold. Twice that this time. Even though it's expensive, doubling it should be a considerable expense even for the aristocracy.

"Will you sell me this?

The virus asks to try Reis. Normally, you'll get most of the stuff if you pile up the money to this point. In fact, the virus has gotten what it wants that way.

Reyce stood up with a bag of gold coins and placed it in front of the virus.

"No matter how much you get paid, I'm not selling."

"Hmm, can I ask why?

"Because you made up your mind in me. Elixir won't sell it now, unless it's sick or seriously injured. I can't afford to live up to everyone's demands."

The virus sees Rayce laughing empty-handedly with her dead fish-like eyes, causing her to pull her cheeks slightly. And when I cough up with Cohon,

"I see your will. Now let's just say Elixir gives up."

"Thank you for understanding."

The conversation doesn't get any more confusing, and Reis leaks a ho and a sigh of relief.

"There's just something I'm personally concerned about, can I ask you something?

"It's okay."

Reyce lightly accepts that there is no problem with the extent of the question.

"Did you learn alchemy yourself?

"No, there was a master."

"Well, can someone let me hear it?

"I don't think there's anything good to ask... I'm an alchemist named Lulimes"

Hearing the name, the virus opens its mouth with pomposity and groans.

"Are you kidding me, that Lulimes...? of" Decadent Heroes "...?

Reyce, who hears the words of a whining virus in such a way as incredible, is convinced. That master is the only one who is called by two super dishonorable names: 'corrupt hero'.

"Oh, it definitely fits. He's definitely our fucking master."

"I see, indeed, her apprentice can snort that strength as well. As far as the rumors of Lulimes are concerned, they seem to be struggling considerably..."

Receiving a sympathetic gaze, Reyce holds a sort of admiration as to whether his master Damepuri is known to the kingdom. The moment of respect for one's master is no longer likely to come for the rest of one's life.

"Yeah, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Go ahead."

"What if I told you I was gonna back up your people's help completely?

"I refuse"

Reis answers instantly without reflection.

"I don't have Kiri when I start doing that, and I decide that people help is within my reach. But this idea is the same as the fucking master."

"... I see, I heard an interesting story, thank you for today"

"No."

Apparently, we're done here. Reis gets up from his chair and puts his head down with a stick.

"I hope we can have a good relationship in the future, Mr. Reyes"

"Regards"

Having an unexpected relationship with the nobility, Reyce hoped that some useful time would come, leaving the mansion behind.
