“Wah!”

When he saw Elia, Lloyd approached her and stuck out his tongue as if he were asking for food.

Normally, Elia would have brought food with her, but this time she probably wasn’t prepared.

“I’m sorry, Lloyd. I don’t have any food with me today. …… Fluffy Fluffy.”

When Elia was ecstatically enjoying the fur of Lloyd’s body, he didn’t get angry that she didn’t have food, he did what Elia made him do. He was a smart wolf.

It was the power of Elia’s sacred arts that healed Lloyd, who was on his deathbed. It was only natural that they would like each other. But that also meant that they would soon be saying goodbye.

Even though it was in the form of banishment, I felt really bad about the point that we would be separated. Looking back, Elia might have been talking to Slay more often through Lloyd.

…… means that it was Lloyd who indirectly pulled the trigger on the banishment? You’re the guilty wolf who gets the princess of the party.

Slay stared at Lloyd with a frown, as if to shift the blame, but Lloyd, who didn’t know what was going on, naturally didn’t mean it.

”Elia. I’m sure you’ve heard the story earlier, but it’s not possible to make up. I’m sure you’ll be able to find out what’s going on. I’m more concerned about the future of ‘Hazerushippu Blastwind’.

“…… Are you sure you can’t make it up to me?”

“By all means. To be honest, I know you like Lloyd, so it’s a painful place to be. I’m the only one that can take with me, who is under contract as an emissary.”

When Slay told her, scratching his head, Elia was depressed.

Maybe she thinks she’s responsible for this banishment drama, or maybe she’s just having a hard time saying goodbye to Lloyd more than anything else.

Of course, she’s not responsible for it. If there is any responsibility, it’s the people who have been pushed around by her on their own.

“Slay. Are you there?”

With a knock, it was the voice of Henry the Wise that was heard.

“Oh. Henry. Come in.”

“…… Oh, so Elia was there too? …… Slay, I’m sorry about earlier.”

“Nope. …… Henry, you’ve got Bridgette’s eye on you for saying you’re neutral. If you’re going to sneak in a secret apology, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that the banning is a done deal anyway, so why don’t you come around to that place?”

“Haha, I don’t care what she thinks of me.”

Henry told him once and for all.

There aren’t many magicians in the world who have the qualification of ‘sage’, which is given only to those who are certified as A-ranked in the two different systems of magic and sacred arts. It was a different rank from the original.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re doing, but it’s not important to you.

“To be honest, it’s more of a loss than a pity that Slay is out. He was quite good as a sixth Sixth Man, you know. You.”

“You’re paying a lot of money for me. I did my best, but I’m just a guy with multiple B-grade skills. I’m tickled to be praised by a real wise man.”

‘Well, if you think about it simply, if Slay and Lloyd disappear, we’ll lose two walls in the middle guard. As someone who was …… protected, I’m a bit worried about the future. I won’t be quitting ‘Hazerushippu Blastwind’ anytime soon, but the stability we’ve had maybe broken.

Henry muttered to himself with intelligent analysis, touching his hand to one of his glasses.

He had a habit of constantly trying to adjust the position of his glasses when his mind was in turmoil.

Apparently, he sincerely believes that Slay’s exile is a serious matter.

However, it is perhaps natural that the vanguard and the rear guard have a completely different opinion of Slay.

I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that I’m not the only one.

Bridget, who feels nothing in a similar position, is too special.

“…… Mr. Henry~. Why didn’t you disagree with me?”

Elia muttered a grudge in a mellow voice as she cowered against Lloyd’s body.

‘Well, that’s just me being an opportunistic bastard. …… After that, I’ll just assume that Slay wanted to quit.”

‘What? Mr. Slay …… Why.”

“You told me once. You said before that it was your dream to become an alchemist. Are you trying to fulfill that dream?”

Slay nodded in response to Henry’s point, acknowledging that the question was true.

“Yeah. I’ve been thinking about becoming an alchemist. It’s just in time for the annual exam now. Finally, my childhood wish will come true.”

“That …… alchemist is that thing that the aristocrats say they have a monopoly on?”

Elia questioned Slay as he pretended to be Lloyd.　

“Yeah, yeah. That’s what I’m talking about. It’s that stinky thing where they use a metamorphosis technique to replace copper and silver with gold.”

The metamorphosis is the magic that transforms a thing according to a certain law.

It replaces a thing with another thing or synthesizes two things into one, and what is called alchemy is done by the metamorphosis.

However, it is not possible to create and change things as much as one likes.

For example, in order to create gold, a simple method requires 10 times as much silver. This is the exchange rate of gold and silver, and without any ingenuity, it was a magic that had a strong equivalent exchange tint to it.

“But …… why did you decide to become an alchemist, Mr. Slay?　You’re not even a nobleman.”

“Good question. This is a field reserved for noblemen. Only noblemen with titles can become alchemists. …… but there is a way for a commoner to become an alchemist as well.”

Slay sneered in response to Elia’s question.
