I who got fired from the S class adventure party worked as a support, want to have a slow life by becoming an alchemist - Chapter 11

Translator: NovelMultiverse

Slay and Lloyd arrived in the magical city of Loonside.　

It was one of the four satellite cities of the royal capital, a special zone focused on magical research, and the headquarters of the Alchemy Society was also located here.

Any aspiring alchemist in this kingdom must visit and stay in this city.

This will be Slay’s home town for a while.

”We’ve finally arrived at ……. Lloyd, thank goodness you’re here.”

With a bark from Lloyd, the great gray wolf direwolf, the approaching pack of gray wolves bowed down to him and turned their backs on him.

Combined with the illuminated round moon, it was a fantastic scene. It was the most memorable part of Surrey’s three-day trip and one that made my affection for Lloyd even stronger.

“I hate to do this to such a meritorious man……, but bear with me for a while.”

Slay apologetically held up the hand that had stroked Lloyd as it was.

”Surrendered.”

When Slay murmured, Lloyd’s form, which had taken on the form of a giant wolf, had shrunk to a smaller size, just big enough to hold.

The power that had been there until now is like a hint of power, small size like a cute pet animal.

‘Surrendered’ – this is one of the main parts of Messenger Tamer’s realm of following animals, demonic beasts, and phantoms.

The messenger tamer can miniaturize the animals and magical beasts that it successfully subdues and eliminate all aggression.

Without this, it would be difficult to carry around large animals, monsters, and magical beasts in the city. There are some areas like Slay’s hometown that understand the use of emissaries, but in a city of this size, ‘surrender’ is a must once you enter the city center.

This is the only thing that can be done since others can’t make any distinction as to whether or not they are under an emissary and controlled to avoid attacking people.

This form of Lloyd was different and better than the hulking wolf form. Rather, it was quite adorable.

However, one should never praise or love the smaller Lloyd. It seems that he doesn’t like the way he looked when he was ‘surrendered’, and if you even bypassed to praise or love him, even his benefactor, Elia, would not react for a while.　

When he returned to his room, he immediately released his surrender, but if the ‘surrender’ period was too long, there were times when he had to take out the mood of Lloyd, who had become sulky.

He still prefers the beautiful and brave original form. Lloyd is strong, wise, and compassionate, but on the other hand, he also has a very proud side.

Okay, let’s go! Let’s go. …… Before we look for a place to stay for an extended period of time, let’s pay a visit to the Alchemy Society headquarters. Even though it’s housed in the ‘Sub-Space Room Sub-Space Room’, I don’t want to carry a lot of money around with me forever.

Slay stopped Lloyd in his small form on his shoulder and walked towards the Alchemy Society headquarters.

The Alchemy Society headquarters was a magnificent building that could be called one of the most massive structures in Loonside. It must be quite profitable.

Inside the building, there were many people wearing robes in the manner of sorcerers and those dressed in aristocratic clothing.

However, robed people are commonplace in the magical city of Loonside, so it’s not particularly uncommon.

They all look well-bred, don’t they? …… Well, that’s true. I thought only nobles or wealthy people could become alchemists, basically.

Fortunately, the current Slay was wearing the fine cloak he received as a parting gift, so it was a good look for him. His face didn’t have the gracefulness that was often seen in nobles, but that was unavoidable.　

If he had been wearing that tattered, dirty cloak, he might have received suspicious looks. It’s possible that they might have been mistaken for a ragtag group of people who were making it difficult for them.

In this regard, I felt like thanking Elia and Henry for their parting gift in an honest way.

”Hello. I wanted to be an alchemist.”

Slay briefly greeted the receptionist, who was dressed in a tight uniform and looked good in a light brown ponytail.

She wore a name tag that read Eliza. That would be her name.

“Welcome to the Alchemist Society. I, Eliza, will be in charge of giving you directions. …… application for the alchemist’s exam. Now, here’s your name, age, address, and family history ……”

“Wait. I’m not a nobleman. I’d like to apply for the alchemist’s exam later.”

“Oh …… and excuse me. You’re a merchant. Um, another form is at …….”

Eliza looked flustered and began to search the drawer for the paper. From the looks of it, it might not be a frequent occurrence. If he is from a merchant family that has the financial resources to fulfill the top payment, he is a delicious superior customer who wants to be connected.

And although this was also a misconception, it was not unreasonable to be mistaken for a rich merchant family if you weren’t a nobleman.

Now they might think I’m a son of the merchant family… with an interest in alchemy.

”No, that’s not true either. I’m not a nobleman or born into a merchant family. I’m a common man.”

A moment of silence. And Slay didn’t miss the momentary look of disappointment on Eliza’s face.

The reaction was, ah, a guest who didn’t know how the alchemist world works. It might be something like that.

But as expected of a professional receptionist, she immediately gave a smile as if she was mending her ways.

”Excuse me. Now let me explain the alchemist to you. …… First of all, for non-noblemen to become an alchemist, they need to collect a huge top payment.”

“I know. I need 10,000 gold pieces. Of course, I’ve got it.”

Slay commanded Eliza’s explanation and thrust his hand out to the side.

‘Connection access.’

After chanting the command word, Slay inserted his hand into the subspace and took out a bag full of gold coins from the ‘Subspace Room Subspace Room’ and placed it on the counter.

“One thousand gold coins. I’ve prepared ten bags of the same ones. …… It’s going to be a lot of work, given the appraisal, so we might as well go get someone in another room. …… Mr. Eliza, is there a precedent for this kind of thing?”

When Slay asked the question, Eliza, who had been stunned, shook her head.
