The Novice Alchemist's Store

It has been a year since I set up a shop in Yorkville.

And I was married.

………………

And I had no choice!

The territory of the Rozze family visited for the opening.

Westeria and Catherine, Iris' sisters, who welcomed me there, were so cute!

"Onee-sama, teach me swordsmanship!", "Onee-sama, please teach me how to study." If you're admired, you can't help but bond.

Come out if I have an honest and cute sister who was my only child, or someone who made a plan.

I'll give you a compliment!

... yeah, well, I can't deny that I wanted my own family.

When I was young, I broke up with my parents and was sometimes betrayed by others, but overall, I think that my life up to now has more good encounters with my master as the head.

Still others. It's different from my family.

I thought I'd get married and start my own family, but if I wanted to be an alchemist, I couldn't afford the time to find someone to marry or have a child.

Even if it goes well for ten years, if it goes poorly, we won't get married like Master and Mr. Leonora, and we don't have any children. I can think of enough circumstances.

If such a person asks me to give you two cute sisters with one autograph, I'll sign it. You will.

If Iris followed me to my mother-in-law, I would run a pen.

Iris, who had lived together for nearly a year, didn't have any personality conflicts or anxiety.

Well, I can't deny that getting a family, rather than getting a partner, became the deciding factor.

So, speaking of whether something has changed since we got married... nothing has changed.

As always, I run a shop in Yorkville, Iris lives in my house and collects, and Lorea keeps the shop as usual.

I'm not having a couple relationship with Iris, and with my current technology, I couldn't make the smelter "potion" for that in the first place, and even though I was married, it was almost on paper.

Of course, there are no plans for children.

Either I or Iris will have a baby soon, but I don't have any plans for a while because of the money I owe to the Rotze family.

After all, I've become a family, so maybe I can waive Iris' medical bill? I thought, "I'll keep my eye on it. It's all about paying back the debt." Mr. Iris.

So it's unlikely that Iris and the others will quit the collector for the time being.

Well, if you quit the collector and went home, you'd get married and suddenly live apart.

Is this good because it's really just a paperwork relationship?

This is the second spring I've had with you.

I checked my travel plans and stood in front of the shop.

Well, thank you for the rest.

"Hmm, leave it to me. This is also the work of internal help. Good luck with Sarasa."

Be careful, Sarasa.

"I'm sure Sarasa-san won't have to worry, but... I hope you're okay."

You'll be escorted by Iris with a strong smile, Kate with the same smile as usual, and Lorea with a slightly worried face.

Yes, I told you there was no change, but as you heard, there was a slight change in the way I called it, and I went back to the way I used to call it for just one time.

I didn't call you "store manager" until I got married.

I'm still a little used to it, but is it a matter of time?

Lorea, please take care of the herbal fields.

"Yes, we can only drain and water the grass, and then distribute the fertilizer as Sarasa taught us."

"I don't mind, thank you."

In winter, medicinal herbs grown indoors are also planted in the back fields, and at the same time, many weeds are beginning to grow.

These herbs are just harder to grow than Michael and the weeds could lose if left alone, so weeding is important to plain taste.

Conversely, if you sprinkle the fertilizer and medicine I made properly, you won't die soon without me.

I'm just a little worried about one grain, some sort of seed.

When I had something else to do, I asked my master and he said, "If you can raise me well, I can do something good." So I'm growing up looking forward to it... I don't know, but I smoke a lot of magic, right?

When seedling, he consumed the magic of seedling aids and quickly withered after planting them in the backyard.

Even if you give me magic, I'll be fine, so it's easy to say... but I'm a little worried that Lorea's magic will cover it.

Good luck practicing your magic tricks! I begged you... when you died?

No matter how much delicious fruit you get, it doesn't seem to take much trouble, so you don't have time to spend on alchemy, and it's better to buy it - it's not a food.

If you're worried about that tree, you can't postpone your trip.

Well, I guess it's time to go.

"Sarasa, be really careful."

Looking at me lifting my luggage, I smiled bitterly at Lorelei, who was slightly tearful.

"No, don't worry so much. I came from there to this village."

"That's true, but... It's so far away."

Well, there's no King's City from here.

Yes, my destination this time is King's Landing.

Many times more distant than the South Strag I usually go to - no, dozens of times more distant.

The journey is by no means easy.

"But I can't just leave."

The purpose is to file and pay taxes.

If you don't do this, it will be a terrible thing.

Specifically, fines in light cases, deprivation of the Alchemy's License in heavy cases, imprisonment, and even execution in malicious cases. My neck is stiff.

The alchemist's tax is self-reported, but the penalties for failing to do it properly are also heavy.

But it's been a while since King's Landing.

I would also like to thank the Master directly for all the help he has taken over the past year, and if he is lucky, he may also meet the junior students of the school.

Senpai... can't you do it? I don't have my own shop yet, so I won't even visit King's City to file a tax return.

However, since Senpai Pricia has taken special care of him, he may want to take a long detour on his way home but stop by the town where he is and thank him.

"Lorea, you won't have to worry about that. Your father came back safely. You think Sarasa would be safer?

"But does Sarasa tend to put her neck in danger?

I shake my head and deny to Lorraine, who gives a slightly unfair assessment.

That's not true...

"If you find a bandit, why don't you find an aside and crush it?

"Ugh!

Bandits are special enemies.

If they attack, it is natural to fight back, and if they escape, chase them and destroy them.

Without encountering it, it is within my common sense to find and destroy it if I hear rumors.

If you encounter a bandit, you're asked if you can miss it.

Well, I'll be careful there, yeah.

You won't promise me.

To me who answered ambiguously, Lorea smiled with a troublesome look, but when she exhaled, she smiled again.

"... well, that's good. I'm sure you won't have to worry if it's not too much. Please be careful and go."

"Yeah, I'm coming!

"" "Welcome!

After being escorted by the three of them and leaving the village, I reversed the path that I walked a year ago with hope, expectation and great anxiety.

The past year has been so volatile and full of encounters and changes that I have fought for a year or two in my life.

Good things, bad things, a lot of things, but with a lot of experience, it's going to make a lot of money, and it's going to be good enough.

I take it for granted that there will be some difficulty or hardship in the year ahead, and in the year ahead.

But fortunately, I'm not alone.

It's only natural that I should try my best, but with the help of my mentor and Lorea, I'm sure I can get over it.

That's why you're facing forward firmly.

And I took a light step towards the new year.

-----------------------------

So the story of Sarasa ends here, separated by a year.

Thank you for reading this for a long time.

Hey, Sarasa, you're married.

When Iris appeared, I didn't plan on getting married...

So far, you don't have romantic feelings.

It is driven by family friendliness, modest intentions, and self-preservation by gaining a noble position.

However, it is rare to marry in love as a world view. Basically, the convenience of home is the priority. If you become an aristocrat, it feels normal to get married and face each other for the first time. So Sarasa and Iris may still be better off.

At least we have a respectable relationship, and we are more likely to have a happy life than to marry Ho Barr or His Highness Felix.

Talks and legendary material from the second year onwards may be written if motivated, but for now it has not been decided.

(The sales of books were not very good, and I wondered if they weren't being asked for....)

Finally, I would like to thank all of you for your support.

Thank you very much.

If you had the opportunity, I would appreciate it if you could read my other work as well.
