Chapter 364 – How to Become an Alchemist
Well… The problem seems to have been resolved. Then, shall we go and take care of the first prince’s puppies…’
In his heart, he wanted to get rid of the culprit, Prince 1, but he doesn’t know where he is, and if he kills a big thing like Prince 1, the situation will grow out of control, so Seong-il holds back his anger and decides to wipe out his subordinates first.
‘According to Erica’s words… The first place a follower contracted seems to be ‘automatically registered’ in the Pineapple House?’
‘Then, if you go through the door with Pirina’s name on it on the third floor, you’ll be taken directly to her secret office, right?’
Seong-il thought so and moved to the huge empty lot on the third floor. Indeed, in front of his eyes, an additional door that did not exist before appeared.
“Oh… This is…”
Seong-il opens the door to Pirina with an interesting expression on her face. Then, a familiar table and chair appear in front of him.
“Really?!”
Pirina’s secret office, which is now very familiar. Seong-il sees it, turns his back, and examines the door.
‘That means… Is the way to enter the Pineapple House the same?’
Seong-il opens the door like Erica’s house without thinking. However, when the door is opened, an ordinary hallway appears.
“Hmm… What is the mechanism?”
A slightly different mechanism. Seong-il puts on a tired expression and closes the door again.
‘What’s this time? Can’t I?’
The detective office and workshop had a dedicated door, but Pirina’s office didn’t have a dedicated door, so Seong-il was annoyed. He thinks as he casually opens the door to his office.
‘Oh, I want to go back to the Pineapple House, but why isn’t it coming out?’
Then, a pure white world appears like magic.
“!!!”
Seong-il is surprised by this and ponders the mechanism.
‘Could it be… If I just open the door, it becomes a normal hallway, and when I think of Pineapple House, do I move there?’
Seong-il opens and closes the door several times with such thoughts. Then Moon alternately shows the alchemy world and the pineapple house as he thinks.
“Ohh…”
A newly realized mechanism. Seong-il wonders if this mechanism will be applied to other minions’ houses as well.
‘First… A detective agency…’
Seongil opens and closes the door of Charlotte right next to her. Then, Charlotte’s detective agency appears in front of him.
‘Shall we go to the front door?’
Seong-il opens the door, wishing to go to the Inner Plain by moving to a place other than the exclusive door of the Pineapple House. Then, as expected, a pineapple house appears in front of his eyes.
“Ohh… Is it like this?”
Realizing a curious fact, Seong-il moves back to Pirina’s office with an expression of fun.
“Hmm… Can I just wait here?”
Since they are pressuring Pirina, Seong-il thought that they would come this way sooner or later. He puts on a spirit mask to cover his face just in case, dyes his hair yellow, and leaves the office.
“Who…!!”
The appearance of a rice cake stand standing guard near Pirina’s office. Instead of answering, Seong-il raises his hand and emits telekinesis, restraining his body and floating him in the air.
“Hee… Hee?!”
Tteokdae makes a terrified expression as his body floats in the air and at the same time his chin and mouth are tightly closed by an invisible force.
Seong-il goes up to him and stretches out five or six hands as a shadow and gently strokes his hair.
“Madame Pirina called me.”
“!!!”
“So don’t make a lot of noise. Before you slit her throat, okay?”
Nod
A black shadow hand became a sharp knife, gently tickled his cheek, and nodded desperately with a bluish face.
Seeing this, Seong-il smiled viciously and relieved the pressure on the mouth of the rice cake stick floating in the air.
“Again, if you scream, you kill?”
Seong-il strongly swung one of his hands against the wall, warning Ddeokdae that he might do something unexpected. At the same time, the sharp claws at the tip of the shadow’s finger carve a deep wound in the wall.
“Yes…”
“Okay. Let’s ask something.”
“What… What do you want to ask?”
“They’ve been babbling at Madame Piri lately. Where can I see them?”
“!!!”
“Don’t worry. I’m not asking you to guide me.”
“Um… Really Madame’s…?”
“Right? Don’t make me say it twice.”
“Yes… Yes…”
In the midst of that, the presence of an objectionable person behind Seong-il’s back.
“I’ll tell you that.”
“…Hmm, I’m sure you told me to leave for ‘there’?”
The appearance of Pirina that appeared out of nowhere. Seong-il, wanting to hide her identity, replies to her Pirina in her unusual tone.
“…Wouldn’t you like to tell my men before you leave?”
“…”
“These are the children who suffered under me for a long time. It’s like leaving irresponsibly.”
“Madam…”
The appearance of a rice cake stand floating in the air, listening to the conversation between the two. Through their conversation, he instinctively realizes that Pirina is preparing to leave for a distant place.
“Darsch. Call the officers. Within an hour.”
“…You mean within an hour?”
“Yeah… I’m running out of time, if you can’t come, just those who can.”
“Okay. Madame!! In that sense, I…”
At Tteokdae’s request to put him down, Seong-il releases the psychokinesis that restrains his body and sets him free.
“Everything… I’m coming!!”
“Huh.”
As soon as Pirina’s permission was granted, the rice cakes left in a hurry. As he disappears before her eyes, Seong-il looks at Pirina and asks.
“…First of all, we’ll wait in the office.”
“Whoa… That’s right.”
After returning to the office, Seong-il tells Pirina how to register her residence and move to her pineapple house.
“Wow… It’s actually a magic door installed? My office?”
“Yeah. That’s how it is. If it’s necessary, I’ll just stay here and leave.”
“Hehe…”
“And the smartphone…”
A holy day to teach her how to use her phone until her men arrive. At the sight of the machine she is using for the first time in her life, I try to touch her phone here and there, feeling curious like a young child.
“It’s fun~ With this, it’s easy to contact Young master.”
“That’s right. If there’s anything troublesome in the future…”
Smart!
A knocking sound heard while chatting with Pirina.
“Come in.”
Squeak!
At the sound of the door, Pirina, who had responded warmly and charmingly to Seong-il until a while ago, disappears in an instant, and she transforms into a cold and sharp boss.
‘This is also sexy in its own way.’
Seong-il feels strangely attracted to Pirina’s charismatic appearance, which is not usually seen. While her Seongil enjoys the appearance of her Pirina, four or five executives enter her office.
“Huh… You’ve had a lot of trouble.”
Pirina gets to the point right from the start. At her speech, her executives look at her with a puzzled look on her face.
“Madam…”
“Are you really leaving? If you hide away for a while and come back…”
“Yes!
Executives who dissuade Pirina from leaving. But she answers them without blinking an eye.
“Okay. I’ve already decided.”
“…”
“Even if I stay here or hide, even if I don’t get caught, I’ll be constantly pursued and tormented. In the meantime, harming you guys is a bonus.”
“…”
“So let’s do this. I’ll share the districts of the city I’ve been in charge of as inheritance. Let’s all eat well and live well with them.”
“…”
The hall fell silent at Pirina’s words. She takes out a thick ledger at them and starts tossing them one by one.
“Read it. If you don’t understand, come here by noon tomorrow. Be sure to write a letter if you have any questions.”
“…Are you staying until tomorrow?”
“No. The agent will only receive the letter. I will leave immediately as soon as the meeting is over.”
“…”
“Then let’s go. And the person in front is a noble brought by the person I serve. Let this person understand everything he asks for.”
“…?”
An assailant wearing a strange mask and covering his entire body with a robe. The attention of the executives is focused on the man who shows a solid-looking body, as if he has trained his body well.
“…The dogs of the first prince.”
“…?”
“…I want you to locate them.”
“!!!”
It’s short, but it’s a mysterious word that has a lot of meaning. Perhaps because they might become accomplices with him, they do not readily answer.
“Why? Can’t you just tell me that? Loyalty to Madame is so insignificant?”
“…Nothing to find.”
“Oh…?”
“…They’re coming tonight as the dancers of the night.”
“That’s right. That’s good.”
“It’s okay…?”
Words of an incomprehensible monster. Instead of answering, he puts his butt on the corner of Pirina’s office desk and answers them.
“From now on…”
“…?”
“We’re not going to take one step out of here. So leave you and all the innocents.”
“!!!”
“It’s okay to inform that the madam is here. Hmm… I guess that would be better? To prove your innocence. Isn’t that right? Madame Pirina?”
Seong-il’s overly confident question. Pirina smiled bitterly at the question. However, this time Pirina knew that she could escape from this place at any time, using the mysterious power of her holy day anyway, so she nodded her head in affirmation rather than stopping him.
“Yeah…That’s better. Turning it in, my men will be safe.”
“Madam!!!”
At her order of Pirina to sell herself, her officers exclaim as they look at her with a surprised look on her face.
“It’s an order. Just do it.”
“Then Madam…”
“Do you think I’ll be captured or killed? Don’t be stupid. I’ve already prepared all the escape routes. Do what you’re told to do.”
“…”
Executives who pride themselves on knowing everything, as they themselves have been using this underground guild for a long time. Because of this, they misunderstand that Pirina is trying to sacrifice for them.
“Haa… I’m tired, so go away.”
“That…But…”
“Go away.”
“…”
In the end, her executives leave her office one by one, carrying the documents and ledgers she gave them.
“Has it been sorted out?”
“Yes. Young master.”
“Then just go back to the Pineapple House and rest.”
“Huh… Is that okay? But the fact that the notebook is with me…?”
“That’s harder. It’s cramped here, and there’s not much cover. It’s not a good place to defend and fight.”
“Well… That’s right.”
“By the way, those guys seem to be very loyal to you, aren’t they pushing it?”
“Puhahaha!! It can’t be.”
“…?”
Pirina let out a laugh at her own question and wiped the tears from her eyes. She replies to her Seong-il with a cheerful expression.
“Those guys pretend to be for me on the outside, but on the inside they must have already made an estimate?”
“…?!”
“About half of me must have already left to inform. The First Prince’s henchmen will be there within an hour.”
“…So fast?”
“Sure! You have to attack me quickly before I run away. They probably set up a guard near my office to monitor my escape?”
“…”
Pirina, who too easily concludes the betrayal of her subordinates. As her Seongil looks at her in bewilderment, Pirina approaches her Seongil with her enchanting smile.
“Hmm… This is the back world? There are no eternal enemies. There are no eternal allies. This is the place where she will have to sell yesterday’s comrades in order to live.”
“…Have you not betrayed you until now?”
“That’s because until now, I was up against Hendrick. Now I’m the first prince. The situation is different.”
“Hmm…”
“Of course, half of them will try to help me until the end. Especially those from ‘Dancer of the Night’. I have a pretty close relationship with them…”
Pirina swallows her afterwords and puts on a bitter expression. She bids farewell to her Seong-il with a tired expression, perhaps struggling to control her emotions.
“…”
“Haa… I’m tired. Then I’ll go in first!”
Pirina pretends to be bright, and she approaches the door of her office. She closes her eyes for a moment and thinks something, then she opens the door. Then you see a pure white world.
“Shit…”
Looking at the back of her slightly forlorn-looking Pirina, her seongil feels her anger welling up from the depths of her chest.
“Do you touch my girls?”
Full of her annoyance, Seong-il sits on a chair in her office, puts her legs on her bookshelf, and adjusts the jewels in her bosom.
‘…According to Pirina, they will come soon, right?’
In this way, Seong-il sits comfortably in her office waiting for the subordinates of her 1st prince.
Quaang!! Quaang!!!
“Aaaaa!!!
The sound of something breaking somewhere. And the screams of the dancing girls. In the commotion, Seong-il realizes that the guests she has been waiting for have visited.
“Hmm… These bastards are coming soon.”
The Hounds of the 1st Prince, who appeared less than an hour after Pirina ordered her officers. Seong-il smiles bitterly at her as the situation goes as Pirina boasted.
“Well… I like it because it’s comfortable.”
After muttering that, he takes out the magic-infused jewel from his bosom and starts scattering it on the floor.
