Chapter 52 – How to Become an Alchemist
“In the first place, if I had been tampering with you with drugs, it would have been impossible to bring you into heat except for an ointment-type aphrodisiac…”
“I just said it, but I just used a lotion that didn’t work.”
“Then what is the truth? It’s just that your castle is originally like that, kuh!! Do you understand?”
Erisha turned white at Seongil’s words and began stuttering to answer her Seongil with a shocked expression on her face.
“Ah… No.. I… I am that.. Such a woman..!!”
“Really? Then, you’ll find out if she enjoys the rest of the week while walking around with me. Is she that kind of girl or not?”
“!!”
In her shock, halfway to her sanity, she approaches Erisha and hugs her, then whispers her holy day in her ear.
“Is it so important that your castle is like that…? Just accept it.
“…”
“So why don’t you be so stiff and accept my patronage?”
“…”
Erica looking at her Holy Day with her expression hardened. Seeing her expression like that, her Seong-il strongly starts proposing to make a deal.
“If you accept my offer and become my woman, I promise to give you a lot of support that no one else can offer.”
“Payment? Don’t worry about that. Just live as you want. Sometimes you can make something that I ask you to make.”
“In addition to the salary you offered, the additional 5,000 gold you said? It doesn’t matter if you can’t repay that. If you want an indefinite extension, I’ll do it.”
“Even if I let you go by my will, that condition will remain in effect.”
“So don’t hesitate and just dedicate yourself to me. Then I’ll give you an amount of support you’ll never regret.”
Erica, who had listened to her speech on the first day of the holy day with her expression hardened, opened her mouth and said.
“Hu… I won’t deny that your offer is attractive. But. I’m the one who has to become the head of the household and lead the family. I can’t be your concubine and hand over the family!”
“What? Who wants you to be my concubine?”
“…?”
When Erica stared blankly at her Holy Day, her Holy Day continued.
“You want to become the family head and raise the family? Then just raise it. I’ll help you. And you just do it. It doesn’t matter if I don’t.”
“I won’t mind if you use me. As long as you are obedient to me.”
“And if you want to become the head of a family and revitalize your family, don’t you have to know how to use your body to use your political strategy? Honestly, where is a hukou with good conditions like me?”
“He’s an idiot who has no relatives, has a lot of money, and only reveals women. Is there a more attractive condition than this?”
Erica blankly listened to Seongil’s words and looked at him. After being silent for a long time, she struggled to open her mouth and began to ask her questions.
“If… What if.”
“…?”
“There’s no way I could do that. Let’s say I give in to you.”
“Okay.”
“Then how will you treat me…?”
“How do you treat them? I make them work as the manager of my studio during the day, and at night, they bring them to my room and enjoy themselves and sleep together.”
“…Really, that condition? The condition of that enormous support?”
“Yeah. That’s because your body is so attractive. If you don’t believe me, tell me right away. I’ll write you a notary. If that’s not enough, would you like to be a son-in-law to your family?”
“Crazy bastard…”
“That’s what being a man is like. Was there one or two kings who fell in love with a bordering beauty and ruined the country?”
“No matter how much I think about it, you’re really crazy…”
“I’d appreciate it if you told me you’re crazy.”
“…Are you going to go around all the women in the world like that?”
“Don’t worry. If you become mine. In ‘this world’, I will make you my wife and only three concubines. Of course, with your consent.”
“…”
“There is still about a week left, so think carefully while feeling burdened.”
At that, Erisha frowned and asked.
“Isn’t that what I usually say to think about it without pressure…?”
She replied with a bright smile at her words.
“You should bear the burden. The creditor is none other than that Edward.”
“…What are you talking about?
“…? What do you mean?”
Seong-il and Erica look at each other blankly with expressions that they do not understand each other.
After a long silence, Erisha broke her silence and asked a question.
“I asked you first. Answer me.”
“Hmm… Don’t you know about Edward’s notoriety?”
“What kind of guy is he… Is a crazy guy like you saying that?”
In response to such naive Erisha’s question, her holy days began to explain to her the content of the worldview of the demonic writer who conceived the story of ‘how to become an alchemist’, which had spread secretly in reality.
“What the heck. Edward approaches an aristocratic family with no backs on their way, offers them a partnership to lure them into the business, then deliberately ruins the business by playing tricks on the business, then places huge debts on their partners and puts them in debt. He’s the one who raises it.”
“After making the family into a debtor like that, they devour the family on the condition that they buy and marry the daughter of the family who can inherit the title, and then make a justification for it.
“After replacing all the internal forces with their own people, they lay false charges on the married wives for promiscuity, demote them to concubines, and rob them of their titles and territories.”
“It’s a pretty famous fact that he ate 4 or 5 fallen nobles like that.”
Erica, shocked by Seongil’s words, asked her Seongil back.
“That… That means uh… Can’t my father too?”
“Maybe?”
The secret history of the family learned through a third party. Erica is shocked when she learns the secret story.
‘I can’t figure out the truth of the facts, but if that’s really true…’
Seong-il continued her words while looking at Erisha, who was troubled with a serious expression.
“If you want to know if you played a trick on your family, can I confirm the truth?”
“What?! Is that possible?!”
“It’s enough if you spend a lot of money. I’m not looking for perfect physical evidence to bring down Edward. It’s just circumstantial evidence.”
“…”
“Oh and. Do you know about the end of the young ladies who were demoted to concubines?”
“…?”
Erica with an expression as if she didn’t know anything. In order to break her down, her Seong-il began to explain her worldview additionally after mixing her exaggeration.
“By the way, did you know that if he succeeds in completely robbing the family, Edward will train and play with the useless young ladies as sex slaves?”
“..?!”
“In preparation for any possible rebellion of the young ladies, he is famous for thoroughly destroying them. The most notorious one is taking a naked walk every day in broad daylight in the territory he should have inherited under the pretext of ‘reflection’ after being framed. It’s a famous story about making people sell their bodies to serfs.”
“!?”
“Hm? Didn’t you know by looking at their expressions? Usually, after driving the young girls half crazy like that, they make up a protocol based on the false confessions received through threats, and then make the protocol public, destroying their reputation and drying them to death. “
“…”
“After sucking the marrow like that, in preparation for their possible flight, they tattoo all sorts of lewd words on their bodies under the pretext of recording their crimes.”
“Crazy…”
“So think carefully. The one you have to fight isn’t an ordinary monster.”
Erisha stood blankly with a pale face, probably in fear. As if driving a wedge into her, her holy days speak.
“Five years.. Long.. Long, but it’s not that you have a small amount of debt. Edward will start sabotaging you as soon as you think you’ll be able to pay your debts.”
When she actually repays half of her debt in-game, Edward pops up as her main villain and starts harassing her to keep Erica from repaying her debt.
In order to overcome Edward’s obstruction, in the original story, he cooperates with his friends and overcomes the crisis.
“That.. But.. He definitely said he would pay me back 10,000 gold within 5 years, without any conditions!”
“Yes? But did you write the contract?”
“…Even verbal contracts have legal effect.”
“Of course it is. We shouldn’t forget that he’s a guy with a strong back. If you fight him clumsily with only verbal contracts, you’ll be in trouble? He’s a guy who doesn’t know when and how to change his words.”
“…”
“So think about it. If I were you, I’d just accept my offer, get a loan from me, write the contract, and fuck Edward with a short-term payment to keep him from messing around.”
“Hmm…”
“Then he wouldn’t be able to play tricks either? He doesn’t have time to play tricks, to be exact.”
“Um…”
The main villain, Edward, who appears unconditionally when you play a classic game.
Since the maximum amount of gold Erica can carry in-game is up to 2,000 gold, if she repays the loan with standard play, she will have no choice but to meet Edward.
However, there are a few tricks to keep the creditor Edward from appearing while playing the game.
The method is to use Elixir (1,000 gold), the most expensive item in the game that can carry up to three bottles, to eliminate the event without giving Edward a chance to appear.
First, pay off the debt up to 4,999 gold in the standard way, then make three bottles of elixir.
After that, he collected 2,000 gold to pay off the debt, sold the elixir and japtem in two separate ways, made 3,000 gold within a day, and then paid off the remaining balance. In that case, Edward did not appear.
However, such tricks were only known to players who had clear experience many times, so most of the users met Edward while paying back small amounts.
Other than that, there were only two ways to use the gold coins in the cursed house hidden as an Easter egg, or to defeat the Fire Dragon in the Abyssal Mountain and unlock rares.
Erisha said to her holy day, who was so blankly thinking about the game.
“According to what you said… You are plotting against the Edward family and trying to devour our family?”
“Yes.”
“If that’s not enough, you’re going to obstruct the payment of the debt and fail to repay it, and use that as an excuse to make me a concubine, play with me and torture me, and frame me and make me a sex slave and have you confined?”
“Yeah. If you look at what you’ve done so far, it’s unconditional.”
“…”
As her terrible secrets, which she hadn’t even thought of, were revealed one by one, Erisha was silent, her face turning pale, gulping her saliva.
“Can I help you?”
“…?”
“Didn’t you want revenge?”
“?!”
“I’m going to fuck him when I raise my family up someday, won’t I?”
“Hmm…”
Erica let out a sigh at the sudden offer of cooperation on the holy day.
As she began to worry about her sexuality, her sexuality began to annoy her.
“Don’t do that. Let’s join hands with me. First of all, join hands with me to pay off the debt in one shot. Let’s develop a workshop and develop strength.”
“Like that, the studio and the family’s strength is being raised, and looking at the situation, they’re fucking Edward. Do you think it’s possible if we join forces together?”
Erica stared blankly at him as she listened to Sungil’s words.
“I… I can’t possibly understand you.”
“What.. Would you be like me if you lived in a place other than yours?”
“…Even if I were to emigrate from the West to the East, I wouldn’t think like you, would you?”
“Well. Is that what I mean?”
“…?”
Seong-il’s words that we can’t understand at the moment.
After hearing his words, Erica spoke.
“Huh… First of all. As you said, there is still a week left. I’ll answer then whether or not I will accept your offer.”
“Originally, I was thinking of just getting the balance and cutting it off. Since you’re suggesting that much, I’ll think about it too.”
“But if you want to convince me too, bring hard evidence, not just words. Prove that you’re different from Edward. Got it?”
At Erica’s words, Seongil smiled and answered.
“Sure. You can look forward to what I’ll bring you on the last day.”
After saying that, Seong-il stood up and kissed her on the forehead.
“Let’s go back soon. Do you want to have a meal as Madam’s favor? Do you want to just go?”
Growl
Erica blushes at the sound of the ship without realizing it. She answered him without a word, putting on the clothes next to her.
“That… But since you’re sincere, let’s go after eating.”
“Yes. I’m hungry too.”
After saying that, Seong-il reached out her hand to Elisha, stood her up, and left her room with her arms crossed.
