Chapter 143 – How to Become an Alchemist
“…By the way, the side effect is probably that breast milk comes out in women, and erections don’t work out in men…”
“What?!”
Seong-il is taken aback by Erica’s words. Erica answers such a holy day.
“… I guess I need to get rid of the side effects.”
“Fuck… What will happen if this continues?!”
“What’s going on? Excessive erection lasting causes a disability.”
“Oh, no!!!”
At Seong-il’s frightened reaction, she put on an expression like a villainess and started teasing him mischievously.
“If it continues like that, in the worst case, it will become necrotic and rot?”
“What!? This crazy…!!”
When Seong-il seems to be in a real panic, Erica seems to be sorry, but she starts to calm him down and continue her words.
“It’s a joke. It can be solved, so don’t worry too much. Besides, necrosis won’t happen, I don’t know why, but the ingredients of the healing potion are also strongly mixed, so the magic action will protect your genitals. So don’t worry.”
“Really? Really?!”
“…Stop it. But is this my potion? I don’t think the recipe is mine…”
Erisha calms Seongil, who has been frightened and has half tasted it. She starts telling him her solution.
“And I’ve been through side effects before. The solution was unexpectedly trivial.”
“…Which is it?”
“It just works if you use it a lot.”
“Can I use it?!”
“Huh.”
After saying that, she sat her holy day in her chair, and casually took off his pants.
“…What are you doing?”
“What are you doing? Don’t you remember how I helped you when I was frustrated earlier?”
“No way?!”
“That’s right! You can use it a lot~”
Having said that, Erisha buries her face between her legs on the holy day and starts caressing his alter ego.
“Kuhhh…!”
From the early evening after waking up like that and finishing his meal, Seong-il began to mix flesh with Erica, and even after mixing the flesh for more than 3 hours, his side effects were resolved.
‘…It was an unexpected side effect.’
Erisha falls asleep next to Seong-il in an exhausted state, and Seong-il hugs her and falls into her thoughts.
‘By the way, Yuna’s stamina potion feels more like a stamina pill than a stamina potion, right? Depending on the situation, if mass production is possible, we might be able to make a lot of money…’
‘If I clear the alchemist’s world later and make Erica my follower, shall I set up a joint workshop with Yuna in the Pineapple House…?’
‘No… Fuck…But the quest is too hard to make Erisha her follower…?’
After thinking that, Seong-il sighs lightly, recalls one worry that fills his head, takes out his smartphone and looks at the quest list.
[ List of quest achievements ]
◎ How to become an alchemist
Other quests – 22 completed (2,200 points)
Main Quest (1/3) – Complete 1 (15,000 points)
– Pay off Elisha’s Debt (Completed)
– Win the war with Edward (incomplete)
– To graduate (unfinished)
‘It’s okay to pay off Erica’s debt, so there’s no problem, and in the worst case for Edward, it’s enough to assassinate him with Eunwol, so I can solve it somehow, but graduation… Is there no way to solve it in a short time?’
Unlike the previous two quests, which could be solved in a short amount of time with money or force, graduation takes three years, so I feel very difficult on the holy day.
‘Hmm… Shall we just ask Pirina to make something like a counterfeit diploma? Come to think of it, there was also a black market graduation ending…’
‘Definitely, the list of quests isn’t ‘Ericha’s Graduation’. If I just let him go to college, and I make a fake diploma, I’m going to achieve one of the endings in the original game in my own way, so I won’t be able to clear somehow…?’
Seong-il, who thought so, hugged Erisha in her arms and massaged her breasts to make her think.
‘Hmm… Let’s finish the guild war and make a counterfeit diploma. If it doesn’t work… I didn’t drop out, so I’ll keep going to college and try to graduate early…’
Thinking so, Seong-il touched Erisha in her arms and fell asleep.
A few days later.
Thump!!
“Sungil-nim! Seong-il-nim, are you there?”
Seong-il, who was training martial arts inside, is puzzled by the sound of someone knocking on his studio and starts to go outside.
‘Hmm…? The only ones who can bypass the front door and enter are Pirina’s guild members who handed out the key…’
With that thought in mind, Seong-il moved to the entrance. When he opened the door, as expected, a man who appeared to be a member of Pirina’s guild appeared in front of the door.
“Hello. Young master Seongil.”
“Hmm? You’re the one who used to go ‘ad’ with me in the red light district, right?”
“Haha… Yes, this is the guy who was in charge of escorting Young master back then. Long time no see.”
Not too long ago, when she was teaching Elisha, she put her mask on her, put stickers on her genitals and nipples, and advertised ‘Dancer of the Night’. Holy Day I felt.
“What are you doing?”
“Yes, Madam asked me to deliver the letter, so I came to see you.”
“Letter?”
“Yes. I wonder if the content related to the fight with the Hendrick Guild was written. I don’t know the details.”
Seong-il nodded lightly at his words and took the letter he held out. When he received the letter, the guild members bowed their heads and left the house.
‘Hmm… What is it?’
Seong-il stops everything he was doing out of curiosity, sits on the sofa, and starts reading the letter Pirina sent.
‘Hmm…’
Seong-il reads the letter with a serious expression. That’s what he thought after reading the letter.
‘I guess the fact that Eunwol and I destroyed one of the strongholds gave Hendrick a pretty big shock…?’
Hendrick was shocked that the base was destroyed by Pirina’s guild last night. He is said to have expressed intense anger at Pirina’s provocation (Sungil, to be exact), ended the search war overnight, and declared an all-out war.
In the beginning, Pirina’s guild struggled against Hendrick’s fierce attack, but due to the holy day, Hendrick’s strength evaporated in one night, and his loss of strength was a big help, so he said that he finally blocked his attack completely.
In addition, rumors circulated that it was not Pirina’s guild that attacked the base and dealt a severe blow to Hendrick, but the power of the powerful ‘back ship’ that usually looked after her, and the neutrals who usually had animosity against Hendrick had a chance against Pirina. It is said that he came to think that there was, and started to join her guild.
Because of this, it was said that the situation was going quite favorably for Pirina’s guild.
‘Hmm… I think we’ll win easily if we go on like this…’
‘The problem is, if we go into a long-term battle, we don’t know what variables will arise due to Edward’s appearance, right?’
Thinking so, Seong-il closed the letter and began to plan how to act in the future.
And…
“Damn it!! What happened!!”
“That…That’s me too…”
“You must have done everything that Hendrick needed for that miscellaneous thing, didn’t you?”
“You’re right…”
“But why did the assassination fail all of a sudden?”
“That’s… Let’s hear it…”
“Do you want to listen?”
“It is said that the second person of the Adenheim Thieves Guild is taking care of the two girls. In fact, since the first assassination attempt, the guild’s guild members are always guarding the mansion, so it is difficult to assassinate…”
Edward frowns at the adjutant’s words as if he is dumbfounded. Then he throws a piece of furniture and shouts.
“Hey you bastard. Are you using that as an excuse?”
“That…But really…!”
Damn!!
“Shut up! If you respond arrogantly one more time, I’ll kill you first.”
“…”
After slapping his subordinate, Edward glared at him savagely. The subordinate is terrified and can’t even look Edward in the eyes and hangs his head trembling.
And seeing him like that, Edward sighs and replies to him again.
“Whoa… That’s it. What’s wrong with you? You’re an idiot who knows how to do only what you’re told to do.”
“Sorry…!!”
“No, I guess I’ll just have to do it myself.”
“…Directly?”
“Yes. Hey. The mercenaries under a long-term contract. Did you finish working on the Orson Territory a while ago?”
To Edward’s question, the subordinate desperately nods and responds in the affirmative.
“Yes. Mr. Edward. The Black Mane Mercenaries disguised themselves as thieves, and successfully destroyed the base of the territory and returned.”
“Hmm… That’s right…”
“Yeah… Do you want them to do something…?”
“Hey, explain the situation to the mercenaries, and tell them to disguise themselves as bandits and send them to Adenheim to help Hendrick. Since this happened, by supporting Hendrick, we got the daughter of the Portis family and also the back alleys of Adenheim. I have to take control.”
“You’re right!! Then who’s in command…? Should I explain the situation to the mercenary commander and direct him…?”
At the words of such a subordinate, Edward shook his head and replied to his subordinate.
“No, this time I’m going myself. I’m going to take control of the back alleys of an Adenheim-class metropolis, but I can’t trust a mercenary commander.”
“Yes, I’ll prepare right away.”
At the time when Edward was coming to Adenheim to help Hendrick, he refrained from outside activities, except for school classes, and lived quietly inside the workshop, waiting for Pirina to contact him.
Smart!!
“Hmm? Pirina’s contact…?”
Pirina reported the progress of the guild war to Seongil through a visit from a guild member once a day. Seong-il goes out to visit today, assuming that the contents will be the same.
“Hello, Mr. Seongil.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you today. Are you here to deliver a letter from Madame Pirina?”
To Seong-il’s question, the guild member answers him with a firm expression, not with a smile as usual.
“No. Seongil-nim, I came to you with something a little different today.”
“…What kind of business is it?”
“Excuse me, but can we move to a safe house soon?”
“Huh? Suddenly? Why?”
At Sungil’s words, the guild member quietly looked around and whispered into his ear.
“…A few days ago, through the harbor, Hendrick’s back ship entered Adenheim with a considerable force to assist him.”
“!!”
“The problem is that the troops brought in by the back boat are those with considerable skills… We are struggling.”
“Hmm…”
“The problem is that they are in a hurry to block their offensive, and now the deployment of troops to protect Seongil-nim and Lady Erica is tight.”
Seongil, who seems to know why all of a sudden, Pirina ordered her men to call them to the safe house. At the guild member’s words, Seong-il lightly nods his head instead of answering and goes inside the house.
“Erisha. Pack your things.”
“Eh? Suddenly?”
Seong-il explains what the guild members said with a firm expression to Elisha, who is flustered. To his words, Erisha responded in bewilderment.
“What does that have to do with us moving into the safe house?”
“Yes. The reinforcements that came to Hendrick are like Edward and his direct troops.”
“!!”
Erica is shocked by Seongil’s words. Towards her like that, her holy day continues her words.
“It’s obvious. You’re one of the reasons this war broke out in the first place. If the back ship brought massive support, it’s clear that they’ll take advantage of the chaos to target you.”
“Ah…”
“Let’s go. If it’s Pirina’s base, you don’t have to worry about assassins right now.”
“…Okay.”
Erica hardened her expression at Seongil’s resolute words and replied that she would understand. After taking the items they needed inside the room and the potions they had prepared, they headed to ‘Dancer of the Night’.
“Are you here?”
And when she arrives at ‘Dancer of the Night’, Pirina greets her holy day with a tired expression. She was wearing leather armor, not the dress she usually wore in ‘Dancer of the Night’, and Seongil could roughly guess how serious the current situation of her guild was.
“Guild member Mister. Would you like to take Elisha to the safe house? I have something to talk to Madame Pirina for a while.”
“I understand. Seongil-nim.”
Having said that, the guild members took Erisha and disappeared somewhere, and Seong-il, who confirmed that they had disappeared and no one was around, asked Pirina.
“…Does the situation look bad?”
“Yes. The skills of the bugs that came to support Hendrick are quite impressive.”
“Is it Edward?”
“Yes. I think it’s a mercenary group that Edward and Nom raised to ‘work’ against the fallen nobles.”
“Huh…”
“They’re mercenaries, they have skills and equipment close to that of regular soldiers, so it’s very difficult for us to deal with them. If we continue like this, there’s a high chance that the situation will reverse.”
“Right…”
“Whoa… In that sense… Can I borrow some of the power of Young master’s family…? I also wanted to end the war with my own hands… But I don’t think it’s impossible at this rate.”
“Of course I have to help. Don’t worry. At this point, I’ll have to clear Hendrick’s and Edward’s heads at once.”
