Chapter 212 – 20. The Obscene Alchemist, the Strange Town, and the Sticky Tears
“Ssssscha.”
Siwoo put down his luggage on one side and looked around the room.
The room was renovated with the money Nina sent, but it wasn’t that big.
Thanks to that, Nina’s mother, who was standing behind him, was making a nervous expression.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay here…?”
“Sure. I usually sleep well anywhere.”
“Still…”
“Ah, don’t do that. I’m sorry for taking your parents’ bedroom.”
“Ugh, what are you saying! We’re honored! Who in the world could lend a room to a hero! Rather, I’m sorry that it’s such a shabby place.”
“Haha…”
Seeing him making a fuss and shouting, Siwoo laughed awkwardly.
But that’s his point of view, not yours or your mother’s.
If it was a room lent to Siwoo, he might be able to use it as a tourist destination for money.
Of course, that’s not really going to happen.
“Then get some rest.”
Nina’s mother even greeted her by bowing down with a warm smile.
Then Siu caught her.
“Where are you going?”
“Yes? That’s the only thing… Ahh. No way, hero! I’m a married woman…”
“No, that’s not it, that bag…”
“Ah…! I’m sorry!”
“Haha, no.”
It was a little, no, a lot of absurd excitement.
Like Nina’s mother, she also has a pretty smooth appearance, but not as much as her daughter.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Nina inherited only the merits of her parents: her appearance. However, she is not exceptionally beautiful, and she feels like an attractive country girl. I’m sorry, but even Nina has no reason to seduce her mother.
‘It’s true that her husband is fine…’
Nina’s mother hesitates as she sets her gym bag down, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“Huh? I, Hero. But this bag…”
“Yes, it’s Nina’s bag.”
“…Uh, then…?”
Siwoo smiled brightly at her as she made her expression of surprise.
“Yes, Nina will share a room with me.”
“Ah…”
“Why is that?”
“Oh no! Here’s the bag!”
“Thank you.”
Nina’s mother handed Siu her bag and she ran out of her room as if to run away.
One word came to her mind clearly.
Giant.
Nina, a diligent filial daughter, often exchanged letters with her parents and talked about them in detail. Because of this, she knew very well how far Nina had gone with Siu. She just said that fella was the end.
‘This is an opportunity!’
Unmistakable opportunity.
If Siu didn’t have any thoughts, the man and woman wouldn’t want to sleep in the same room, she thought.
‘Tonight, I’m going to strip everything I have… I should tell them to do it energetically.’
“Honey!”
Nina’s mother found her husband.
He was in the youngest room for the couple to share during the few days Siu was staying here.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“Quickly! Hurry up and prepare dinner!”
“Huh? All of a sudden? There’s still time…”
“Tonight’s dinner is health food!”
“Health food? No, just focus on it. Anyway, the warrior is eating at the chief’s house today.”
“Ah…Chis.”
“Honey?!”
Meanwhile, Siwoo looked around the room where he would be staying for 4 days.
It’s a decent place with no big corners.
It is said that it is very different from the place where he has been living so far, but it has been less than a year since he has been living luxuriously. During the last war in the first round, he was as tough as he was during the war, and he had lived a frugal life even before that.
“This isn’t bad enough.”
After muttering that, Siu unpacked his luggage appropriately.
I didn’t touch Nina’s.
There’s no reason for her to mess with her girl stuff, and she’ll be right back after saying hello to some of her village friends.
‘Friend. Friend.’
I think of Nina and the people around her whom I just saw.
Since it was a small town, I didn’t see many people of the same age, let alone those of a similar age. And in their eyes, jealousy, fear, and anxiety toward Nina were evidently young. All but one or two. Can I really call them friends?
Although the story is heard at first glance, the treatment that Nina and her family must have been treated is vividly glimpsed.
Not to mention, the teacher, the author, didn’t come out because of yesterday’s hangover.
“I’ll take a good look at the situation later and go to Palania or here in the capital… Ah. Watch it and if it’s okay, get a job at the business you’re going to build.”
A village that has come but is not affectionate.
I don’t want to come again if possible.
Of course, there were also those who treated Nina with her cheerfulness and did not care about her revenge.
Nina also said that not everyone was bullied.
Siu thought of one of them, a young man who showed the only emotion.
‘I said his name was Boots.’
Before he was even introduced to Nina, he is the man with whom she greeted her by name and shook her hand.
He wasn’t worried. Rather, while feeling sorry for the man he called his childhood friend, he felt a slight sense of superiority and immorality. He unintentionally took away her childhood friend next door, whom he had a crush on. But he’s not sorry.
Rattle.
“Si, sir Siu…?”
These were Nina’s first words as she opened the door and entered.
“Oh, are you here?”
“Yes yes.”
“Let’s talk some more.”
“It’s okay! I’m not going to go right away tomorrow, so I have some time. No, more than that…!”
“Why?”
“…”
Siwoo asked with a smirk.
Looking at him like that, Nina opened her mouth with her red face, but she didn’t say anything.
It was kind of cute because it resembled her mother whom I had just seen. It’s funny how she hesitates even though she just found out that she only uses one room, which she didn’t tell me in advance. This is why it is fun to tease once and it is not easy to stop.
“No?”
“No! It can’t be!”
“Then quickly unpack. I’ll rest before going to the village chief later.”
“Four…”
Nina hesitantly approaches her luggage.
Even while unpacking, I keep looking at him.
When I pretended not to see, I gained courage and quickly began to organize things.
Her sneaky turn of her head and a glance at her made it immediately apparent to her cause.
‘Wow.’
Nina, in order to avoid her eyes, took out her cause first and sorted it out.
Her stimulating underwear and her usual colorful clothes that you can’t believe are her. She had a reason for the gym bag being bigger than expected. Maybe she mustered up the courage now that she is alone without Elaine or Hildeard. On the contrary, Siu guessed that the two of them helped.
And that guess was right.
‘Seo, the saintess was right… !’
Nina, who got advice and help from Elaine and Hildear the night before.
They had said
“I’m going with Siwoo-nim, so why don’t you prepare anything? That’s not possible! Siwoo-nim should know everything.”
“That’s right, Nina. It should be at least this much. Wait a moment. I know the measurements, so I ordered the people below…”
“What? Only 4 days? Oh my, look at him. You don’t know Siwoo yet.”
“Don’t worry too much. Siwoo will take care of everything anyway. Huh? Usually, shouldn’t a woman lead? Huhu, Nina can just leave it to Siwoo♡”
‘Ahhh.’
Her hair goes white enough that she can’t remember a single conversation she just had with her former friends.
She finished her tidying up by unpacking her rough things and putting out the things she needed most often.
And as she straightened her body, a thought crossed her head.
‘Uh? What do I do now?’
Siwoo said he would rest until evening, but his parents’ bedroom doesn’t even have a sofa.
All it has is two chairs and a large bed.
One chair already has an object on it.
“…”
However, Nina’s troubles did not last long.
“Come here, Nina.”
“…Yes…♡”
Keeping my beating heart in my arms, I cautiously go to his side.
As if it were her seat, Siu stretched out her one arm to make space.
What do you need to hesitate about?
Nina took a quick step and took a seat next to him.
“I’m sorry…”
The seat next to the male warrior was cozy just by sitting.
“How are you going back home?”
“Something… Um… It’s very different from what I was expecting.”
“Okay?”
“Yes. It’s exhilarating, but is it because your eyes are high? Now the villagers look pitiful. They’re just jealous and bullying each other to this extent. To these people, this small village is truly me, and this territory is the continent. Really… It’s funny. .”
The last words were poisonous for Nina. Yes, she was still fresh and cute.
Siwoo told Nina what he had just thought about.
Nina Ne, her family, and anyone she wants will find employment in the technical school and business he will later set up in the Slavic kingdom. Moving to the residence.
Fortunately, Nina and her family were free people, and even if not, Siwoo could solve it with a little money. Not only money, but also his reputation and power will have an impact, but it is only a speck of dust.
“Ah… I think I’m fine! You said the location is close to the capital, right? Then you don’t have to come this far.”
“Street doesn’t matter to me.”
“Is that so? …Ah! Siwoo’s safety too!”
Only Siu and Nina came to Nina’s hometown.
Han Si-woo asked if it was necessary, but the schedule itself is being treated as a top secret.
It means that even if you are actually here, you are still treated as if you are resting in a hotel in a tourist city. The disappearance of one Nina is not a problem because it is not at the level of being of great interest to those who are watching him closely.
Still, not shining his face for a long time can make you wonder, and Elaine has set that limit to four days.
“It’s safe, that doesn’t matter.”
“Don’t worry, Siwoo. I’ll protect you no matter what.”
“Huh? Hehe, Nina, you?”
Siu laughs.
Of course, because she herself is stronger than she is.
If Nina brings out something like a secret potion, she won’t know again.
“Rather than that, let’s listen to you and your story.”
“Me?”
“Yeah. What did you talk about when you met earlier?”
“…? I just didn’t talk much. Everyone was busy praising me and fawning. At least boots and a few people who didn’t bother me were friendly.”
“As expected. Some of the friendly people are probably the three who were next to a friend called Boots.”
“Yes, that’s right. One is Boots’ best friend, and one is the village chief’s daughter. The other is a bit young, but it’s not like he’s a friend, but he follows me well.”
“Hmm.”
As for the best friend, since her friend is close, it seems that she didn’t bother and just let it go.
However, the village chief’s daughter was a little surprised. Usually, the center of such bullying is the son of the village chief.
It seems to be full of concepts.
“It’s the first time I’ve had a conversation with the village chief’s daughter, but I wasn’t very impressed.”
“…”
I guess I just ignored it altogether.
“How about the kid you followed well?
“Luz Lee? Umm, that’s right. Me and my younger siblings are 6 years apart, but Luz Lee is 4 years younger than me. Maybe it’s because she’s more mature than other kids her age and interested in alchemy.”
“Whoa. That’s interesting.”
Are you interested in alchemy? I wonder what the talent really is.
Coincidentally, she is 4 years younger than Nina, so it seems that she will be fine if she is taken as her disciple or subordinate.
When she said those words to her Nina, she lit up her eyes.
“I think it’s good!”
“Okay? Then Nina should approach that child and ask her later. Before that, give her a little test to see how talented she is. Even if you don’t have talent, it’s okay if you try, but you might regret it because of it.”
“Sure.”
She nodded her head knowingly.
Unlike in the past, Nina now knows how much her own talent is.
It is not enough even if the modifier of genius is attached, rather, it is a level where other modifiers should be brought.
He experienced it while interacting with the royal alchemists of the Kingdom of Palania.
Because her knowledge is richer and her skill is superior than most alchemists in their 30s and 40s.
“Come to think of it, what about Nina and the teacher? Are you going to visit?”
Nina shook her head.
“No. I’m grateful, but I think I’ve done everything in return. I gave you a lot of money, and I also sent you some well-known alcohol. To be honest, rather than learning from you, I feel like I was only provided with a basis for learning… Fufu, something is strange.”
“Which one?”
“I was just a country boy, so I can’t believe I’ve changed so much.”
“Hmm.”
“Everything… It’s all thanks to Siwoo.”
Nina looks up at her with affectionate eyes.
Her Siwoo looked at her quietly and called her calmly.
“Nina.”
“Yes?”
“Today… Put on pretty underwear.”
“…?! Hehe, hehe…♡”
Nina was looking forward to tonight more than the fourth visit to the village chief’s house.
