Chapter 363 – How to Become an Alchemist
“Congratulations. Knowing the truth of the world.”
“Oh my God… I…”
Pirina, with her face pale in shock, standing devastated with a smartphone that magically appeared in her own hand.
Her sexuality does not rush or console her with her relationship, which has seen many cases of her lately, and quietly waits for her to cover up her feelings.
“Whoa…”
How much time has passed As if her emotions had subsided, Pirina looked at her holy day with her more relaxed face.
“… I knew that Young master was not an ordinary person, but he was someone beyond imagination.”
“Sorry.”
“Whoa… No. Rather, I feel relieved? Actually… When you asked to run away a little while ago, there was a slight conflict, but from this point on, it was completely resolved. Thank you.”
The appearance of Pirina as if the burden of her heart had been completely shaken off. Her Seongil looks at her like that and nods her head.
“First, let’s go to my house in another dimension. If we go there, we can stop time here, so we’ll have enough time to react.”
“…Is that even possible?”
“Then.”
“…”
Pirina looking up at her holy day with awe. Her Seongil feels proud of her gaze, and calmly holds onto her shoulder and casts 『Inner Plane』.
“And…”
A strange world that I have never seen before. The pure white world with nothing makes Pirina feel a strange sense of awe.
“Go in.”
“…”
And a strangely designed mansion standing tall in the middle of that world. Unable to take her eyes off the bizarre mansion in the shape of a tall southern fruit, she slowly enters it with Seong-il.
“I’m here?”
“Ok.”
Erica and Vivian welcome the two. For some reason, Eunwol was sleeping on the sofa in a comfortable nightgown.
‘…He’s fully adapted now.’
Eun-wol is sleeping with a comfortable expression in a thin nightgown made of high-quality pure cotton. On her holy day, in order not to disturb her, she takes her own women who are awake and moves her body to her meeting room located on her third floor.
“…The girl from before?”
“Eunwol. Have you seen it before?”
“Yes. Of course. How can we forget the man who played with and butchered Edward’s men?”
Erica and Vivian flinch at Pirina’s words. The two alchemists seemed to have no idea that the black-haired beauty, who ate only delicious food every day and lazily took a nap, had such a history.
“…Well, he’s a great friend. Anyway, let’s wrap up what we were talking about earlier.”
“What the hell is going on?”
Erisha and Vivian are curious about Pirina’s conversation on her holy day. Seong-il explains to the two women what Pirina is going through.
“…”
Erica, with a slightly pale complexion. In fact, she looks at Pirina with a guilty expression because she can be said to be the culprit behind all of this.
“Whoa… Don’t look like that.”
Pirina soothes her with a benevolent expression in response to her Erisha’s gaze.
“But…”
“Even if it wasn’t for Erica-sama, she would have been there someday. Since Edward had teamed up with Hendrick, I would have killed those two for sure?”
Pirina deliberately puts on a sad face, perhaps to lighten Elisha’s burden. Perhaps thanks to her directing, Erisha nodded her head with a slightly relaxed expression.
“But even so, I can’t be irresponsible! I’ll help Madam! Tell me what you need!”
“Huh…”
Pirina is deeply troubled by Elisha’s words. She smiled and answered Erica.
“…I don’t really need any help yet. If I’m going to fight back, I’ll need Elisha-sama’s help, but I’m thinking of abandoning my base and running away right now.”
“Ah…”
“But, just in case… It would be nice if you could prepare a potion?”
“Just leave it to me!!”
At Pirina’s words, Erisha gets up from her seat and hits her chest. It might have been cute, but Pirina replaced her with a wide smile instead of an answer.
“Let’s rest here for now. It looks like he hasn’t been able to rest properly for several days.”
“…Um, is that so?”
“Yeah. It’s enough to stop time in the world of alchemy anyway. No!”
“…?”
Pirina puts on a puzzled look at Seongil who changes her words after telling her to take a break. Her holy day gives her her portal ring and explains the history of her item.
“Remember what I told you about the portal ring?”
“Ah yes…”
“The problem is that the ‘user’ must be in that area to use the portal ring.”
“…Okay.”
“So, once we move to the place where the treasure is, you open the portal. After that, I’ll quickly carry the treasure myself.”
“Hmm… Didn’t you say you could only open the portal for about 5 minutes?
The amount of wealth I entrusted to Young master is quite large, so there are more than 20 heavy chests.
Since it’s secretly moving goods, it’s most important not to use workers… Would that be possible in 5 minutes?
Well… There might be a way to enlist the help of my men… But they’re not loyal enough to give their lives to me.
In the future, if you are captured and tortured by the subordinates of the 1st prince, you will vomit all the facts. Then, will our trump cards be revealed? The way of escape, the amount of wealth you have, and even the route you want to escape to.”
“Don’t worry. There are plenty of ways. If you have to, you can use a portal and rest here for a month. But, the way I’m considering right now is…”
There must have been a lot of things accumulated during that time, but Pirina spits out her worries like a rapid-fire cannon. Seong-il asks Erisha with a bitter smile at her question.
“Jewels. Did you collect a lot?”
“Oh, that one?”
Seongil entrusted Elisha with managing the artifact 『Infinite Jewel Pouch』 Picked up in the past draw.
It was a hassle for her to take out and manage her jewelry every day, so Seong-il entrusted her with a pile of jewelry.
“Oh… That’s a lot?”
The weight of the heavy pockets. Erica nods her head, and she answers him.
“I have two more pockets besides this one. It’s too heavy to carry at once.”
“Oh…”
Thinking that there will be no worries about the jewelry for the future, Seong-il summons her alter ego after putting on her spirit mask.
“!!!”
The alter egos appeared in front of Pirina’s eyes. Although she used it to kill Edward, she never exposed her alter ego to her. Pirina looks shocked at the appearance of such an alter ego.
“It’s an alter ego I made from a mask I got from another world. If it’s close, I can make up to 10 people.”
“And…”
Seong-il’s ability to keep even Pirina, who has gone through all sorts of struggles during childbirth, from shutting her mouth.
“These guys never open their mouth to anyone. They’ll be fine, right?”
“…Sure.”
“Then let’s move the treasure first. It can only be used three times a month, so let’s move the treasure in advance and reset the cooldown here.”
Erica asks him with a look that she doesn’t understand at such a statement.
“Can’t we just move the treasure to our workshop, then leave it in the Pineapple House through the connected world door?”
“…?!”
“Why?”
Unexpected answer. Seong-il puts on a dumbfounded expression at Erica’s words.
“…Is that okay?”
Seongil, who always paid customs and carried otherworldly goods. So, of course, I had no idea that the above method would work.
“It’s okay? Don’t you remember I brought the ingredients and made a potion at the Pineapple House?”
“Ah…”
Come to think of it, Erica’s words were correct. Seong-il looks at her phone in a state of bewilderment at her words.
“Fuck… Is that so?”
Wiing!!!
Then his smartphone rings. Through long experience, he realizes that it is a game master’s alarm that answers his questions.
『Items from the cleared world can be stored in the Pineapple House. However, customs duties are required if you bring it to the game world or reality that you have not cleared.”
“Ah, that’s it.”
Seong-il nods his head at the game master’s clear explanation. Then one more question.
“…Then what about taking it from a cleared world to a cleared world?”
『In the case of ordinary goods, customs duties are not required. However, artifacts are an exception.』
“Oh…!!!”
Amazing discovery. Seong-il realizes that he has discovered a useful rule.
“Good…?”
“Yes. That’s right. Anyway, why don’t you move that treasure or something to the house?”
“…OK.”
The Pineapple House is a world unique to Seong-il, inaccessible to Seong-il and his followers. Judging that there is no safer place than here, he nods at Erica’s words and immediately goes to move the treasure.
“Oh… I’m not kidding.”
He had enough chests of gold to fill the one-room-sized room he lived in in the past. Seong-il feels his heart warmed by that majesty.
‘Well… I can’t use gold because I need a customs fee to use it in other game worlds, but… I can use it enough in a cleared world, so it should be considered good.’
If you need money in another world, you can use the jewels obtained from the draw item 『Infinite Jewel Pouch』, So Seong-il discusses the future with Pirina.
“…You mean Gongja-nim to use the ring and escape alone?”
“Yes. Go to the southern country and make a base. Then I will follow you there.”
“Yes. I will. Then, will Young master go to another world in the meantime?”
“…No, I’m going to be in ‘Dancer of the Night’ for a while.”
“Yeah?! That would be dangerous?”
“You’re welcome. It used to be, but not now.”
Looking at Pirina who is worried, Seong-il quietly gathers strength into her hands. Then, an intense black flame erupted.
“!!!”
“I’m not the old me. I assure you, now, I can kill all of Edward’s gang by myself.”
“…”
Pirina looks surprised when she sees Seongil’s murderous eyes. Certainly, he completely erased his glaze from the past, and had the eyes of a warrior that was fully developed.
“So please wait. I will warn the first prince or something and go to the ‘Southern Country’.”
“Yes.”
In the past, he would have stopped his actions, but this time he showed a powerful ability. And, realizing the truth of the world, Pirina answers her seongil without any dissuade.
“You don’t have to visit it, you just need to register your place of residence.”
“Huh? What is residence registration?”
Seong-il puts on a dazed expression at Erica’s sudden words. As he seems oblivious to her own abilities, Erisha asks him with her bewildered expression on her face.
“Isn’t it your ability? How come you don’t know anything every time I ask…?”
“…”
Since the game master was unfriendly, Seong-il actually didn’t know much about his abilities. When he puts on a really unsure look, Erisha sighs lightly before opening her own phone and showing him the screen.
“…This?”
1. Quest registration.
2. Registration of Residence.
3. Send a message.
4. Others.
Erica’s smartphone history is very simple. Seong-il makes a puzzled look at the phone that is completely different from her own.
“Is it completely different from mine?”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
Erica looks at Seongil’s phone to see if she’s curious about what he said. Clearly, Seongil’s Game Master app had a lot more additional features than Erica’s.
“Oh… Really, it’s completely different from mine? If so, I’m sure you wouldn’t know.”
When Seong-il seemed to have a different mechanism from her app, Erisha nodded her head. She recounts to her holy days what she has been through with the other followers.
“You know the first quest, right? I think you have it too…”
“Know.”
“We can receive follower missions from Gamemaster through this. They say that if you work hard for one quarter of the assigned missions, it will help you… Actually, I don’t know what it is…”
“Ah…!!”
Seong-il, who came up with the settlement of followers a while ago. He tells Erica about the quarterly settlement.
“Oh… Then I guess that’s it.”
“You don’t have a reward?”
“What… Not yet? But if I work hard, someday I’ll get something for myself.”
“Hmm… What kind of quests do they usually give?”
In response to such a holy day’s question, Erica explained not only her own, but also the experiences of other followers to him.
“Yeah… You and Vivian are making potions. Charlotte is solving cases, and Euftesia is stealing things?”
“Yeah. It was like that.”
“Like…”
Perhaps, it seems to give quests according to the characters in each game world.
“What is number 2?”
“Ah, this is an ability that can only be used once a year. It seems that it connects to the Pineapple House only in the place where you signed the contract in the first place.”
“Ohh… So Vivian…”
“Yeah. I think so. He also became a follower in our studio. However, he could change his residence to any place he wanted, but only for one episode.”
“Ha… You said there was such a function? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“…Because of course it’s your ability. I thought you knew, didn’t you?”
“…”
“By the way, Vivian used this ability to change her place of residence. That’s why she’s now going in and out of Pineapple House from her room.”
“Right…”
A follower’s ability that seems very useful. Since it is practically the same as installing various portals in the game world, Seong-il feels his heart beating at the possibility.
“Ah! By the way, there is a door on the 3rd floor. When you register a new residence, a door appears there. By the way, our names are engraved on the door.”
“…”
“In that sense, Madam Pirina, arrange a proper residence in the southern country, and register as a ‘residence’!”
“Whoops… I will.”
“Wow!! So we now have a villa with warm sunshine and sandy beaches all year round?! It’s great!!!”
Erica and Vivian are filled with joy as they think about going on vacation. Seong-il looks at those women and smiles.
‘Well… The problem seems to have been resolved. Then, shall we go and take care of the first prince’s puppies…’
