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 9

“Demon Crystal …… Mr. Slay, such a large one.”

“…… Slay. You can’t wait to get your hands on it. The items I gave you as a parting gift are not reciprocated.”

The gemstone that Slay gave to Elia and Henry was called a magic crystal, and if the MP magic power he consumed was not enough, the gemstone would take care of the MP instead.

It was a very useful magic item to prepare for in case of an emergency when you ran out of MP.

There are generally M Potions for recovering MP, but they are slow-acting and take tens of minutes to fully show their effects, and even if you gulp them down in the middle of a battle, it’s too late except for long periods of time, and overdoing it can be very hard on your body.

But with the magic crystal, it was possible to borrow MP from the jewel and use magic without any problems even when you were out of MP.

As two excellent magic users, there is no harm in having a number of preparations.

The more you use it, the smaller the magic crystal becomes and the less MP remaining along with its value, but the one that was handed to the two of them was quite a large one, and this one alone is worth more than a hundred gold coins.

The cloak and the basket of lunza berries handed to them were also of high quality, but as Henry said, they were not balanced in terms of value at all.

‘Don’t say it. I’m going to live in a safe zone now. If it’s still with you when you retire, and you ever see me, give it back to me.

”Um, …… I will definitely return this magic crystal to Mr. Slay!”

When Elia let out a loud voice, Slay admonished her with his hands outstretched.

“Hey, hey, wait, your enthusiasm to make sure you return it is quite wrong. We don’t want you to die for using up these kinds of supplies.”

The magic crystal is prepared for emergencies. Although it is a valuable commodity, it is useless unless it is used in a pinch.

You’re not going to be able to find a way to get the best out of it.

“…… It can’t be helped, this will automatically trigger it so you don’t have to worry about it.”

It’s a good thing that you’re able to get a good idea of what you’re looking for.

”It’s a ‘scapegoat necklace’. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to make it work.”

This, too, is quite expensive.

The reason I wanted to give these parting gifts to the two of them was partly because of the fact that they had been so helpful to me, but also as a kind of thank you for not casting a vote in favor of the banishment when I was for or against it.

One magic crystal for Henry, who told me to be neutral in that uncovered situation, and an even more substitute necklace for Elia, who opposed me to the end.

Slay dealt with his emotions in a manner of speaking, in a manner of construction.

Deep down, he was a little concerned about Elia’s future, if he was honest, but he didn’t talk about it.

“I know that …… is expensive, but if it’s a gift from Mr. Slay, I want it. …… are you sure I should accept it?”

“Just take it. It would be embarrassing if you refused. …… I’m already pretty embarrassed at this point. Don’t tell …… anyone that you got it from me or anything else that’s unnecessary.”

When Slay warned her, Elia’s emotions flooded out of her, and she leaned back against Slay, depressed.

He didn’t feel bad when he felt a soft, comfortable touch, but Slay let go of his body before he felt a lingering sense of regret.

“Slay, if I were to return it, would it be in your hometown?　I remember that …… was pretty remote, though. What was the name again?”

“No, I think I’ll stay in Loonside for at least a year or more. …… Well, it would be sad to see ‘Hazerushippu Blastwind’ disband in such a short period of time, but it would be quirky and sad.”

“Loonside? It’s close enough. Then we might see each other again.”

“Yeah. I don’t think I’ll be able to get my own license anytime soon, to be honest. I have a plan to live a slow life in my hometown in the middle of nowhere, using the law of transformation, but it will take me at least a year or more to get there.”

Slay scratched his head in a troublesome way. Becoming an alchemist was hard for a commoner, but there was a further path to follow.

“If you pass the exam, you can become an apprentice alchemist. But as an apprentice, you can’t open a shop outside of Loonside, where the Alchemy Society headquarters is located. If you pass the audit at Loonside as a full alchemist, you’ll be an official alchemist.”

Slay continued.

“And the audit for the release of an apprenticeship takes at least a year. Normally, I’ve heard that most of the apprentice alchemists end up being assistants in the alchemist’s shop. I don’t have that kind of an acquaintance. I think I’ll have to open a store with a deficit.”

“That sounds like a lot of work. I wonder if you’re really glad you got ……. It sounds like all you’re going to do is payout in the future.”

“It’s not enough to afford it, but not enough to worry about. …… Or rather, the alchemist exam is only a little while away, so I’ll probably be unemployed for a while, or maybe even working part-time while I study for the exam.”

The magical city of Loonside was a satellite city of this royal capital, Central City, and it was a close three days’ walk away.

As a matter of fact, he wasn’t going to be so far away that he couldn’t see her right away.

”…… Um, then can I go to …… Loonside to see Lloyd? I want to touch fluffy.”

“Of course. Lloyd would be pleased. It’s a good thing it’s so close, though, because it’s a three-day drive to Loonside, so it’s not something you can do often. If your party has a long weekend off, you can come over if you want.”

Finally, Slay added.

“…… If there’s anything you really can’t handle about the ‘Hazerushippu Blastwind’, come to Loonside. I know you’re in hiding, but if there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll be happy to talk to you and help you.”

“…… See you there. Good luck on your adventure.”

Slay said goodbye to them and left the royal capital, Central City, which had been the center of his life for five years, accompanied by Lloyd.

His destination is the magical city of Loonside, the home of the Alchemy Society.
