My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well - Chapter 93



93 – Gluttony and Greed (2)

“Eh, to deal with the Demon King?”

“okay.”

It’s been two days since I reunited with Cloudy and became his disciple once again.

He declared that he would raise the level of my alchemy so that I could deal with the demon lord.

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Even the mid-level Demon Alliance used all of their cards and barely won, but suddenly they had to deal with the Demon King?

“… Are you kidding, Master?”

“You know I’m not the type to joke about things like this, don’t you?”

“No, how do I deal with the Demon King?”

“It is possible, if it is your talent. You are the noblest and most gifted among the many warriors I have ever seen. In addition, if I melt all the essence of alchemy I have accumulated over the decades, it will not be impossible to deal with the Demon King.”

Cloudy said confidently.

I know that my talent is better than others.

As an undergraduate, he had achieved professor-level results, and he directly dealt with the demons, proving that his talent was not limited to mere theory.

But is that enough to deal with the demon lord?

I doubt that.

Besides, I didn’t have any justification for dealing with the demon lord.

“You already have Sir Ludgale Liquid on that side. The best hero on the continent who can face the demon lord.”

“well. Who can guarantee that he will protect the continent forever?”

“… yes?”

“And it has nothing to do with Ludgale’s existence and raising your level. Sacher, will you stay still even when the moment comes when your loved ones could get hurt?”

“… That’s not it.”

The four lovers I love and the relationships I have known.

Professor Meline and all acquaintances at the academy.

When the situation comes that they could be defeated by the demons, no matter who has what kind of power and how much.

I must have the strength to get through him on my own.

Cloudy was saying that.

“Even so, can I get to that level in a short period of time? Master will stay for a while before returning to Tirpe.”

“do. Trust me. Believe in yourself a bit.”

From very young to 10 years old.

While being educated by Cloudy, he was never wrong.

Even when his parents died, he said.

that everything will be fine

Forget the painful memories and live a new life.

I was living a new life that could not be replaced with anything.

To me, he was a being of absolute trust.

This time too, his choice won’t be wrong.

That’s how me and Cloudy’s ‘Demon Lord Hunting Project’ began.

* * *

S-rank monsters, high-level demons, or top-level demons.

Even to the Demon King… .

At what level would an alchemist have to rise to reach the level of hunting these high-ranking demons?

Although there is no clearly defined reference point, it is clear that at least the best items must be made when it comes to magic tools.

The first of such high-end magic tools, stones.

In the Empire, there is a [Pury Stone] that only Molly’s alchemist, who is said to be the master of stone-type magic tools and the highest authority, can make it.

The [Pury Stone] creates an appropriate area at a certain distance the moment the user throws it.

A specific area that limits the target’s physical abilities and hinders the use of magical power.

And that’s not all.

The area interferes with the opponent, and at the same time exerts the effect of strengthening the target’s strength, speed, and magic power like a stimulant.

A debuff to the opponent, a buff to the target.

It was a top-notch stone magic tool that exerted tremendous effects in a one-on-one combat structure.

“Can a senior make that?”

With Delia sitting on my lap.

He looked up at me like a puppy and asked.

When ＜The Night When the Moon Goes Down＞ is all over, and the two of them are having a sad conversation like this.

Delia definitely likes to talk with me in this position.

It feels like we’re talking while holding each other, so we’re happy… .

My knees hurt a little and it’s annoying, but I could do this much for the person I like.

“I don’t know that either. Master said he could make it… .”

Cloudy entrusted me with the production of [Pury Stone] as the first step of the project.

He taught me all the know-how and recipes to make the [Puri Stone], but honestly, I wasn’t confident.

Magic tools are not made just because you know the recipe.

Rather, it is more important to feel the sense and enlightenment you feel when you make your own.

The higher the level of magic tools, the more frequent such phenomena appear.

“But I am still curious. To think that the great Cloudy-sama is your senpai’s teacher… .”

“Everyone who heard it for the first time said that.”

Delia, Karin, Ruen, and Schnika all told the story of Cloudy.

As long as I had a relationship with Karin, the Philip family would have to leave someday, and it wasn’t that difficult to reveal the past to them.

Among them, Delia reacted with an unusually strange reaction.

That’s also true, because she is also a warrior walking the path of alchemy, and the greatest warrior in the history of the continent in alchemy was Cloudy Lajour.

living legend.

That the person who was called that much was the lover’s teacher.

It must have been pretty amazing for her as well.

“Anyway, if you succeed in making a Pury Stone, they say it will go straight to the fake elixir.”

“Pe-fake elixir?”

“uh… .”

Delia’s shocked expression is understandable.

When I first heard the story from Cloudy too.

Because it was just that expression.

[Fake Elixir].

The king of all potions, said to be the highest peak of potion-type magic tools.

It was named because it performed similarly to [Elixir], a legendary magic tool said to be able to revive even the dead.

It cannot revive the dead like the real [Elixir], but the [Fake Elixir] has a healing effect with astonishing performance.

Cures all wounds and internal wounds of the intended target.

It restores all of the lost magic power there.

If you lack vitality, even that can be filled.

[Fake Elixir] is a magical tool that is absolutely specialized in healing.

Its unconventional performance is similar to a kind of regeneration, and if you use it while attaching an arm that was cut off at the moment, you can attach it right away.

Excluding the fact that the horse is reviving the fake paper, [Elixir] has the same effect as it was called in the legend.

[Fake Elixir] is different from [Pury Stone], there is currently no alchemist on the continent who can create it.

In other words, a magical tool that only Cloudy Lazur can make.

He was saying that he would pass on such magic tools to me.

“and… Senior, something looks different.”

“How was your usual time?”

“hmm… Just a handsome boyfriend?”

“what? Fuh-”

Delia’s catchy comment was cute, so I hugged her tightly.

Delia wiggled her fingers in her arms as if she was in a good mood.

“senior.”

“huh?”

“If the Demon King appears… Are you really going to fight?”

A question with some hesitation.

I immediately realized what Delia was worried about.

He said, gently stroking her hair.

“If I learn all the secret techniques from my master… Maybe?”

“… Can we not fight? Besides seniors, there are many strong warriors… .”

“hmm… .”

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

enough to sympathize with her concerns.

But I couldn’t avoid the oncoming wave.

I couldn’t avoid it.

“A warrior… It is something that must be protected.”

Although he disappeared for 20 years for his family, his teacher Cloudy always had a heart for the continent.

The result was a study on the demon king of gluttony, greed, and jealousy, and it was the driving force that taught me today.

Colchester Philip even lost his relationship with his daughter in order to defend the empire.

The most important value to him was to protect the continent and empire.

He was a man who even abandoned his family for his beliefs.

Then what should I fight for and what should I protect?

To be honest, I don’t know the grandiose banner of protecting the continent and humanity.

But people who are dear to me.

People who care for me as much as I care for them, and allow me to be myself for the first time.

I wanted to fight for them.

As Cloudy said, when the most dangerous time arrives.

When the time comes when you have to stand up to the devil.

I wanted to protect my precious people.

“therefore… learn from master That’s why I’m trying to fight.”

“… … .”

My reason for wanting to protect them.

At that, Delia didn’t say anything.

It was a statement that was so close to the truth, and it was a reason that could not be refuted.

It seemed that there was a little bit of regret on her face.

I stroked Delia’s hair.

“Will you understand?”

Delia nodded quietly.

Even if you feel sad and dissatisfied sometimes…

Like this, Delia always followed my words.

“Don’t get hurt instead.”

“hahahaha. Anyone who sees it will know that the Demon King has already appeared. prepare, prepare. As Master said.”

“I don’t know… Senior, I hate you… .”

“Shall we kiss you?”

“… twice.”

It was a peaceful alchemy night.
