Chapter 89 – 09. It’s Called Pirates.
Fortunately, the fire mage tower to which she belonged was not far from her city center her.
It was not difficult to find a place to live if you had the money.
Besides, she’s a wizard.
There are many territories that can treat her as if she were her lord her if she puts her feet up a little.
“The problem is how they view my research…”
She’s not stupid either.
I know very well how the research I am doing is reflected in the public.
No matter whether they are nobles or members of the imperial family, what they fear most is the common people having power.
And what she studied was the kind that even ordinary people could have enough strength for.
If all the power and power is now concentrated on knights, wizards, and the nobles who command them, then her research her can change that.
“Sheesh… Even thinking about it would be annoying…”
So it was harder
She was proud of doing a lot of research, but on the contrary, she was sad because it was so great.
“No. Let’s not speak weakly. Someone will surely recognize the value of my research.”
She bobbed her head.
You can’t do anything with this mindset.
She moved her steps towards the brightly lit busy street.
“Let’s get some money first.”
I don’t have much cash.
All that was there were expensive artifacts and various powders.
If you dispose of it except for the things you need for research, you should be able to prepare about 2 million mesos.

“I’m sorry, but please go back.”
“Haha… Our shop doesn’t handle magic weapons… I’m sorry.”
“Welcome! Ah! You came to sell magic powder? …About a year later…”
Contrary to expectations, raising funds was not easy.
“One year? Are you kidding me?!”
“Ah, anyway, sorry!”
Every store she went to was rejected.
In some places, he even pushed her away as if he had seen something she hadn’t seen.
“…….”
After she repeated it about ten times, she barely realized that she had the magic tower’s breath on her.
“Ha ha… Out of this city… At all? Are you saying that?”
Isn’t it too much to do?
She was struck with a sense of absurdity and betrayal.
She didn’t have the strength to walk any further, so she sat down with her back against the wall of the building. I saw people walking around laughing and chatting with each other.
“…Everyone just die.”
She curses petty people.
She felt indescribably devastated.
Like that, she seemed to be in a state of despair or trembling all the time, but then a thought suddenly raised her head.
“Wouldn’t someone be interested if I showed the research results here?”
Since she was in a downtown area, there were a lot of people coming and going, and there were quite a few nobles among her people.
It is not for nothing that it is said to be the largest port city on the eastern continent.
“Yes. Let’s do it. There’s nothing to do anyway.”
She took something out of her bag.
They were tools for various experiments.

“Your Highness! Look at this!”
Hancock ran like a child.
There, various types of meat were put on skewers and grilled food was being sold.
As Aran approached, she was already holding 10 of them in her hand.
Apparently, there were 5 flavors with different sauces.
“Whoops. Now, this belongs to Your Highness.”
Hancock drools over the five.
Aran inadvertently received it.
“Hancock, have you tried this?”
“Hohohoho! No!!”
“…”
What is so dignified Her face her shone bright like the full moon.
“Even though I haven’t tried it, I know the trick to eating this skewer.”
“Do not do that.”
I felt ignorantly ominous.
“It’s called ‘Super Climax Consecutive Eating!'”
“Don’t do it because it’s embarrassing, really.”
Aran’s words she didn’t pretend to hear and started crossing her hands wildly.
“Two in my left hand, three in my right hand! Normally, I have no choice but to eat one!”
Swish swish
She moved so fast that her arms she seemed to have four.
“With this technique, you can eat 5 at once!!”
She opened her mouth wide and, using those quick fingers, began tucking each piece of meat off her skewer into her mouth.
“Five flavors..! Mumbling… At once! Mumbling… Eating…”
Aran ate honey chestnuts.
“Just eat one!!”
“Oops!”
What is the art of eating five flavors at once?
Aran was so full of energy that she couldn’t speak.
“Please keep your chin up. You’re the Count!”
“Uuuuu… I’m just a woman in front of Her Highness her. Hing.”
“Ugh… No, no girl I know would do this. Hmm… “
“Because I’m Hancock.”
Say that and laugh
Her face was dazzling in her light.
“…Where should we go and eat?”
“Ugh? What are you talking about! To see the city is to taste street food! There’s no point in going into a restaurant! It’s meaningless!”
“Eat out or on the street, isn’t that what it is?”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
She waved her fingers in a fan shape.
“Your Highness doesn’t know too much.”
“It’s better than knowing something weird like Hancock.”
“This is the best port city on the East Continent! Of course, there are merchants and immigrants from many countries. That means! It means that there are countless cultures and foods mixed!! Of course, shouldn’t we taste everything?! “
The expression is that of the pope proclaiming the Holy War.
However, the almaeng-I is simply a glutton.
“My stomach is bursting.”
“Whoa. It’s okay. Your Highness. God still has 12 stomachs left.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Hehe. Anyway, let’s go! I heard there’s a corn roast over there!”
Hancock clung to Aran’s arm.
His moderately swollen chest his was crushed.
“I’m sorry… I guess that’s it.”
I felt like a fool enough to have a reaction at the moment, but I endured it.
Roaring!!
“Oooooh!”
Then, something appeared on one side.
“Oh my, what is that?”
It caught Hancock’s curious eyes.
A flame so fierce that it surpasses a person’s height again and again.
It arose momentarily and then went out in an instant.
People surrounded it and cheered.
“Well…Is it a circus?”
“It might be a magic show.”
Hancock dragged Aran with his eyes twinkling.
The closer we got, the louder the noise of the people.
“Get out of the way!!”
Hancock shoved people around and dug in.
“Huh? What… I’m sorry.”
Those who were about to express their displeasure withdrew hastily at the sight of Hancock’s dress his.
Soon I saw a woman mixing various powders in a large bowl.
“You don’t have to.”
Hancock and Aran come to the fore before they know it.
People drew a big circle around them.
“Ohh! Fire! Fire!”
“…”
I don’t listen.
A strong flame was already engraved in her eyes.
“Are you surprised by something like this for someone who is in 6 tiers?”
“But that’s not using mana!”
“It is, but…”
In that respect, it was quite a mystical sight.
“Can you see that there is no mana?”
Said the pink-haired woman, grinding her powder.
Before I knew it, I was meeting Hancock’s eyes with her.
“Of course. I can see it. As far as I know, you wouldn’t be able to make a fire like that without oil. How did you do that?”
“I created a new powder by mixing materials with various properties. As you have seen, it burns very well and boasts considerable firepower.”
She had an excited voice.
“Of course, you can light any amount of fire with mana, but something with this kind of firepower will surely do something amazing!”
“But I couldn’t see properly. I was far away.”
Hancock moved a little further forward.
“Then I’ll show you.”
With her deft fingers, she poured each powder proportionately into her bowl. Then a short rope was inserted to light the fire.
“Ah!”
Then, as if she remembered something, she took off her glove and held out her hand to Hancock.
“What? This hand.”
“Even if it looks like this, the price is quite high.”
“…”
How dare you reach out to aristocrats when you are a commoner. One hand too!
Hancock felt the rudeness and was about to say something.
However…
“Here.”
Before that, Aran handed me some bills.
“Thank you!”
“To…?”
“You want to see it?”
“Uh…But.”
“This is all because Hancock is not aristocratic at all.
“That, that has nothing to do with this job.”
“Anyway, watch. I’m curious too.”
She thought it was nothing at first, but she got the feeling that something was there.
The fire I saw earlier was never easy to see. What if you could raise it without mana…?
It flickered in my head, as if I knew something, as if I didn’t know, as if I could get caught. I’m not sure, but I thought I could do something.
“Okay! I’ll light the fire! For convenience, I’ll use mana.”
Crazy hand movements.
It’s like watching Hancock.
She was only excited because she saw this as an opportunity for her, but she was the kind of person Man Aran was supposed to be.
Took.
“Yes?”
Thump.
What made the sky cry.
Shoot aaaaa!
“Huh? Huh?”
The pink-haired woman was visibly embarrassed.
“It’s raining.”
“Of course…!”
She hurriedly covered it with her cloth, pitying her, but she was already quite wet.
Kwak.
She clenched her fists in resentment.
Even the weather doesn’t follow.
“What are you doing?”
“…I’m sorry. It won’t do you any good if it’s wet.”
“Eh? What is that? It’s meaningless.”
Hancock grumbled.
“…I’m sorry. I think I’m done here for today. I’ll give you my money back.”
To her dismay her, she nervously put things in order.
The rope was on fire, but she didn’t think to put it out and put it in an airtight container with her wet powder.
“It’s fine. But why can’t it get wet?”
“I’m still researching it, so I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure: if it gets wet, no matter how powerful the fire is, it won’t catch fire… You can’t use it until it dries.”
A self-deprecating laugh came out.
“…Really? It’s a pity. I missed you.”
Aran took out a few more bills from her.
Although she didn’t see it, there was something that attracted her.
“I’d rather…”
At that time,
Something exploded loudly.
