Chapter 34 – How to Become an Alchemist
“Well..?”
To her answer, Seong-il sighed and acted with all her might.
“They said I’m crazy. What kind of woman are you going to let the family inherit?”
“I was about to give up after being hit by my younger sister who was more overwhelming than me in every way, but I couldn’t even give up just because she was a woman.
“By the way, he was a well-known figure in the East. He was a famous painter and artist who enjoyed art. And as an exiled Sogaju.”
“Funny, only he understood me, and he said.’ If that’s the case, you’d better run away. To a faraway place.'”
“I was taken aback by the irresponsible words, but after thinking about it, I understand. If I disappear, the position of Sogaju will inevitably be handed over to Eunwol forcibly.”
“After thinking about his advice for a few days, I decided to ask my grandfather for advice again. Then he gave me a secret letter that I had been secretly hiding. He said it was a treasure that my ancestors had not taken care of in the distant past.”
“And after that… As you know. I came here, got into school with my grandfather’s help, and received Polke’s stuff. And I’m thinking of selling it.”
‘Now that I lie so much, it’s easy to prepare and tell lies! Easy.’
Pirina, who was immersed in the story like an audience member listening to an epic poem, whether or not she knew Seongil’s heart.
“Hmm.. That’s a pretty interesting story. According to the owner, I might be able to dispose of the item bit by bit.”
“Well… It’s been a really long time since the Polke Order went missing. It’s also a highly sought-after item by curious collectors…”
“Then, if it ever comes to that, there won’t be any problems if you melt down and sell gold or silver ritual tools.”
While she was talking like that, she suddenly stared at me and asked a question.
“Still, the Polke cult is quite notorious. No, aside from notoriety, it can be said that they are truly evil. But don’t you feel sorry for the things they left behind?”
To her words, I responded with a smile.
“My family cleaned Nerke of these scumbags, so what’s on your conscience? Has there ever been a problem with Nerke after they disappeared? Would you have been sacrificed?”
“Hmm… That’s right.”
After agreeing with Seong-il’s opinion, she thought about it for a long time before talking to Seong-il.
“Okay. If it’s an item with such a story, it’s worth trying. But, of course, you’ll pay a fee, right?”
“Obviously. How much do you want?”
Pirina replied to Seongil asking that question.
“Samhal. If it’s Polke’s thing, it’s something you have to be careful with, even if it’s because of suspicion from other denominations.”
“Originally, I thought about calling Ohal, but the owner thought that in the worst case, he could return to the east and sell it, so he called for the lowest margin. How is it?”
Seong-il agreed with her reasonable suggestion.
“Then… Good. But.”
“But..?”
Seongil looked at Pirina’s face and said with a smile.
“If you dispose of the goods without any abnormalities, 10% apart from the commission is yours to take.”
“Yes..?”
As if Pirina hadn’t even thought of such a holy day proposal, she put on a surprised expression.
“Surprisingly… Shouldn’t I be rewarded for my woman working for me?”
Pirina widened her eyes at Seongil’s big proposal and made a surprised expression.
“Huh… I guess I have eyes for men. Huhu”
Pirina put on a happy expression, and then she started questioning her Seongil again.
“By the way.. From what you’re saying, it seems like a pretty big amount. If it’s that money, don’t you just disown and live in the East?”
“Yeah. I won’t go back there. I’ll settle down here, earn some money, and start a family of my own.”
“Huh? Didn’t you say you didn’t like family heads?”
Seongil replied with a smile at her words.
“Is it the same as there and here? Even if you become the head of the household, the elders and all kinds of mothers-in-law oppress the head of the family. You can’t do anything there without their consent.
“But it’s different here, I can do whatever I want, right? Then the story is a bit different.”
At Seongil’s words, Pirina nodded her head and agreed.
“Certainly that could be the case. Still, you seem to be from a noble family, but what about the low status…?”
Seongil remembered Erisha and answered Pirina.
“Oh.. That’s getting one right girl, and she’s thinking about swallowing the title.”
“Huh.. My master. Unexpectedly, you have a viper-like side..?”
“Hey. He’s the one who almost inherited a family’s heir. Don’t ignore him too much.”
At Seongil’s words, Pirina laughed and replied.
“Yes.. That’s right. I made a mistake. In that sense, I’d like to make a suggestion, Master. Would you like to hear it?”
“…?”
Pirina grinned and answered her holy day.
“If the master’s will is fulfilled and the family is established, how about taking me as your concubine?”
“What?! Am I out of my mind?
“Sure. Are you serious?”
Seong-il was taken aback by her words and asked a question.
“Why did you leave me… Why didn’t you ask for a royal seat and a concubine…?”
With a self-deprecating smile at the words of her holy day, Pirina said.
“Fuuuuu all, but I know about my subject. A prostitute and a thief born in the slums. Do you think a woman like this can meet a decent man?”
“You must meet, marry a backstreet thug for speeding, or become the concubine of a scheming, ambitious man. Or live alone.”
“But what… Isn’t it pretty good for the owner? He has a lot of money, he has his own goals, and he seems to be living his life happily… How is it?”
Seongil responded with a smile at her words.
“Well… I would appreciate it if you would do that.”
At her Seongil’s words, Pirina giggled and approached Seongil and caressed her face, she said.
“Huh.. Oh my goodness. Now I’m going to become Master Seongil’s real concubine, huh..”
After her words were finished, she kissed her Seongil deeply, then she touched her Seongil’s chest and continued her words again.
“Instead… Treat the child born of marriage as an ordinary child, not as a second son.
Hugging Pirina who said so, whispered her holy day.
“Of course. In that sense, Pirina, why don’t you help me out now?”
“Which?”
Just like that, Seong-il explains her Erisha, her background and weaknesses to her. She then began to tell me why she should have it in her hand.
Pirina, who had been listening to her story for a long time, answered.
“I mean… You’re saying that Eric Shah is going to take this orphaned orphan, creditor aristocratic lady into her hands, take her title, set up a workshop and run her business…?”
“Yes.”
“And.. Blackmail her by raping her, drive her into despair, pay off her debts with her carrot book, ask her to do business with her, and then subdue her..?”
“Huh.”
Pirina, who had heard of such Seongil’s plan, let out a sigh of hers, and she replied to Seongil.
“What kind of childish… No, what’s the reason you’re trying to violate it? Can’t you just buy it with money?”
“It’s fun!”
“…”
Pirina looks at her holy day with a bewildered expression. After staring blankly at her holy day for a long time, she sighed and said,
“Listening… I feel like an idiot. Master.”
“Well, if it’s necessary, let’s quit and run to the east together. I have a lot of money. I’ll treat you well.”
To the words of such a holy day, Pirina burst into laughter and answered.
“Puhahaha. Yes.. Well.. If that’s the case. What can I help you with?”
At her words, Seong-il began ordering items needed for her own plan one by one.
The next day she checked her things in the basement of the house, she said with a satisfied expression on her surname.
“Ha.. As expected, you are a second person in the thieves guild. To send related items so quickly and swiftly.”
At my request, Pirina sent me various aphrodisiacs and stimulants, as well as a mold.
“Hmm.. How did you know and bring the clothes that are the same size as Erica’s clothes?”
Surprisingly, the thieves’ guild sent me clothes of the same size as Erica’s usual clothes.
Ordinary clothes, maid clothes, high-exposure clothes that prostitutes would wear, etc..
“Memo..?”
Seong-il, who found a memo stuck between the clothes, took it out and began to read it.
‘Enjoy it in moderation~’
Looking at the strange note and the lipstick lip marks, she guessed that the item was probably sent by Pirina.
“You have a lot of sense.”
On her holy day, after checking her goods, she began to thoroughly prepare for Erica, who would come the next day.
“Seongil-kun! Hello!”
When she saw Erisha, who had come to her workshop around lunchtime, her holy day smiled and she greeted him.
She handed over a simple gift and entered the house of Seongil.
“Come on.”
Erica, who came inside to see off such a holy day, said in admiration.
“Ho.. The house is pretty nice? Oh! That’s the tongue.. Currently the best centrifuge.. Kek? That’s a loupe workshop tool?!”
Erica looked at the various luxury alchemy tools she could see from her entrance, and she couldn’t help but admire and be astonished.
‘Three… Oh my… How much do these all add up?!’
She laughed at Erica, who was shocked, and thought to herself that her holy day was over.
‘I bought it all because of you Erica..’
Hiding her true feelings, her holy day took her to her living room, the most secret and soundproofed room inside her, her own master bedroom and study room.
“Huh? Isn’t it a bit dark here, Seong-il?”
“Yeah. It’s kind of like that. Instead, it’s the quietest here, so I like to study.”
“Aha!”
Erica has no doubts about Seongil’s excuses.
For Erisha, she quietly takes out a candle made from ‘Devil’s Temptation’ and lights it.
“It’s still a bit dark, so I’ll light up the room with candles. Then it’ll be all right, right?”
“Ah! That’s right. Great idea! Genius as expected!”
‘…Why do geniuses appear there?’
Seong-il left the ‘Devil’s Temptation’ in the middle of the room with a bitter smile.
Wishing that the medicinal effect would spread enough to the middle of the room, Seong-il started tutoring.
After a while of class, I felt my body heat up little by little.
‘Erisha will start to take effect.’
Feeling the medicinal effect, I secretly pushed the seaweed hidden behind my molars with my tongue and began to chew quietly.
I quietly chewed and swallowed the poison, and soon after, I began to feel the heightened excitement subside little by little.
After finding her cool, I secretly clung to her body and started asking questions to excite her.
“Ericha, did you say what exactly does this phrase mean?”
Feigning a question, I gently rubbed my hand on her arm.
Then, Erisha flinched and moved away from me with an exaggerated gesture.
“Do you have any problem..?”
When I asked her why, Erica replied in a puzzled voice.
“Ah.. Nothing.”
She said so, but I began to notice that Erisha’s libido was on the rise and her senses were sharpening.
‘Your face is red.’
When the typical symptoms of being addicted to “Devil’s temptation” Began to appear, so that she could inhale a lot of “Devil’s temptation”, I deliberately kept talking to her, inducing her to talk a lot of her words.
Erica, who had been talking for a while, spoke to Seongil in a trembling voice.
“Seo.. Seongil-kun, isn’t it a little hot..?”
“It’s hot..? It’s the afternoon during the changing seasons, so I think I’m a bit chilly, but I also have a bit of a cold, so I opened the window a bit…”
Erisha replied to the words of such a holy day.
“Is that so? Then I’ll be patient.”
Looking at Erisha, Seong-il asked a question.
“I have a personal question for Erica, can I ask you a question?”
“…What?”
“Why are you so money-conscious?”
“What..?!”
Erica exclaimed in surprise at the question of her sexuality, which suddenly stabbed her as if her private parts were exposed.
“That… Did it look like that?”
“Yes. When it comes to money-related topics, you react very sensitively.”
At Sungil’s words, Erisha hesitated before replying.
“Actually, it’s because I have some debt.”
“How much..?”
She was annoyed at the words of her holy day asking her about her private life, but Erisha, who had become more rational at the strangely rising excitement of her today, responded by holding back her irritation as much as possible.
“A little… A lot.”
“A little?”
“Uh…”
Elisha, who was trying to pass her question around, laughed at her seongil, and she said.
“Still, isn’t ten thousand gold a little bit..?”
“?!”
Shocked by her sudden outburst of truth, Erisha’s eyes widened and began to stare at her holy day.
“You… You… How?”
“Oh, I was curious about you, so I did a little research.”
To those words of the holy day, Erisha responded in a furious tone.
“How dare you go after a lady?”
“You said you promised to pay Edward in full within five years?”
“!”
Erisha gave a goosebumps look on his words that she knew too well for her, and she was silent.
Looking at Erisha like that, she continued her words.
“Is that possible?”
“…”
“Cuk-Cuk.. If it’s hard, can I lend it to you?”
Enraged at the death of such a holy day, Erica shouted at him.
“Did you call me today to laugh and mock me?! You dare..”
“A mockery? Like a joke? Lend it to me right now?”
“…?!”
She couldn’t grasp her intentions at such words of Seongil, and she answered while staring blankly at Seongil.
“Why… Why did you suddenly say that…?”
“What… I’d say you’re interested in your body?”
When her Seongil made fun of her, Erisha, who couldn’t stand it, swung her palm and slapped Seongil on the cheek.
However, Seong-il casually grabs her hand and twists her hand.
“Kyaa..! This.. Can’t you let go of this?”
