Alchemist After Possessing chapter 48

48. Heir and Saint (8)

48. Heir and Saint (8)

Actually, until this work is finished. No, at least until my body was completely cured, I also wanted someone to protect me. After all, you have to do business so you can buy school uniforms. It would not be easy to deal with if Irina came to visit me again while I was doing business while not feeling well.

Sotia Sonia is a person with a natural talent for protecting others. The reason Sotia is good here. It is that she is unwilling to do anything beyond work.

For example, even if I am working on alchemy, I will take what I have seen and heard to the grave without interrupting or asking questions. He is the best bodyguard for me, who has to keep business secrets in that he just quietly does his job.

And I can roughly guess why she said she would protect me.

Sotia Sonia is. She is a person who cares very much for her friends. She was probably talking to Eldenia, and the story of Irina and I came up, and she could easily guess that Sotia would have stepped up for Eldenia, who was worried about me.

So it is mutually beneficial to accept this offer. If she didn’t agree, Sotia would be stomping her feet, fidgeting, unable to endure her embarrassment all day.

Sotia is such a person.

Even in games in the first place, when she was woven into her story, it was mostly like that. If Sotia protects me, it seems that she will be able to move the potions she has accumulated in Nishia’s workshop to her shop right now.

“Sotia! Welcome! Did you eat?”

“Yes, it was easy with learning.”

“Would you like something to eat?”

“It’s okay.”

Sotia lowers her head and looks at me.

“Hello. Woros senior, and… You are senior Eva. My name is Sotia Sonia, a first year student in Melgard Class. I wish you well.”

“Woros Blood. I wish you well.”

“Eva Eliseria. Shaiza is a second year student… “

“Nice to meet you, seniors.”

Eva looks out of the corner of her eye and alternately looks at Sotia. She then speaks earnestly, as if she had something she wanted.

“Hey… Is there anything I can do to help?”

There is nothing in particular. If Eva, the balance destroyer, is entrusted with security in the first place, the worst murder in the academy could happen.

At Irina’s level right now, allowing Eva’s magic even once would be fatal. Thinking of that, I shook my head.

Sotia Sonia said that she is going to be on a field trip for two days from now, and will not leave the lecture and watch me. The application was issued by the denomination, she said. She judged that the contents were sincere, and she accepted from the Mel Guard class.

Actually, rather than sincerity, the Church that failed to win against Eldenia’s Dingkang must have pushed it forcibly. In fact, for Sotia, who dreams of becoming a holy guardian knight, the word field trip is not entirely wrong.

Even if Irina attacks, if it’s Sotia, she has enough skills to protect me. If I provide support with potions, subjugation is possible, but if I do something like that, Sotia will give up my protection.

I don’t know if it’s dealing with monsters or criminals, but if I did that to the same student, I would definitely give up this job because it was an unclean duel.

Because El Denia softened the incident a little, Sotia accepted the current situation as just a sibling fight that was a bit strong due to the breath of her family, so she was even more like that. If she is determined and decides to stop Irina, she will also borrow my strength, but in the current situation, there is no way she would make such a proposal.

After finishing the meal, I headed to Nishia’s workshop with Sotia. Eldenia gave a lecture. Eva asks what she wants to do, and she follows until the middle, then leaves saying something urgent has happened, and Sotia and I are the only ones left.

“Woros senior. I will add a little bit of strength.”

“No, I skipped lectures because of me, so I can’t ask for help with chores like this.”

“It’s okay. Please allow me to help.”

“… Thank you then.”

Potions and scented candles. In addition, there are a total of three bags containing empty glass bottles. It weighs quite a bit, so I was worried as I struggled and managed to lift one. That means you have to do this a total of two more times.

In the moment I was worried about that, Sotia said that she would help me. And she. The bag I barely lifted one. Two of them, and even that, without changing a single expression, lifted them up.

I hurt my pride a little. If it weren’t for the Penalty, I would have done that.

“Where are you going? Shall we go to the store you told us about?”

“Yes, yes. Thanks.”

“No. It is not difficult.”

“… Isn’t that hard?”

“Yes”

So Tia said that while carrying two heavy bags and standing upright. I said her thanks to her, keeping her grave expression on her face.

I thought it would be rude if my self-esteem was damaged through facial expressions, so I took care of my facial expressions. While carrying the bag, she felt exhausted, so I suggested that she take a rest. Then she slung a bag that Sotia was holding on her back, then lifted the bag I was holding and said.

“Cow, Sotia? Put it down ’cause I’m fine I can lift it if I take a little rest.”

“You are a patient. I heard that she quarreled with her sister Boone after the undead haunting incident. Forcing me to carry a bag like this with a body like that was against my beliefs, and I was just bothered by it.”

“No, are you really okay?”

“Senior, I don’t know if you want to see the junior who is trying to help you with a sore arm.”

While Sotia said that, she raised her hand holding the bag and put it down. She seems to be saying that her arm hurts if she keeps holding it, but her expression doesn’t change one bit.

“… Yes I got it.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

I took a deep breath and walked beside her. At that time, Sotia spoke while looking only in front of her.

“Woros senior seems to be feeling sorry for me.”

“Do you see that?”

“Yes. I’m telling you in advance that you don’t have to harbor such feelings. It’s because I told Eldenia-nim that I want to do this myself.”

“Yes. So, why did you choose to protect me?”

At my words, Sotia looks in my direction.

“Eldenia and I have been friends since childhood. It was interesting, actually. Eldenia is someone else’s… That’s because I’ve never told a man’s story multiple times.”

“Well, that’s why I was trying to figure out what kind of person I am.”

“That’s right. And, personally, I was interested in seniors. When we collided with the mighty undead in front of Arisha Guguan, the senior fixed our formation.”

Sotia fixes her bag and carries on her words.

“I foresaw that the scene would be a bit difficult. For that reason, I tried to protect only Eldenia-sama. However, thanks to the senior who showed up and guided her, the incident was resolved.”

“So?”

“Yes, I need to be more competent than anyone else. Because there are a lot of people I want to protect. For that reason, senior. There are many things I want to learn from the senior who gave me the most suitable conduct at the scene.”

Sotia’s eyes are serious without wavering. That she only told the truth without lies. That doesn’t mean I can teach Sotia anything of hers.

I just knew all the members on the field, and I knew the enemy well, so I just made a formation suitable for it.

“I have arrived. It was a lot of work.”

“Thank you for your encouragement. However, if you consider this also part of the practice, it is more rewarding than difficult.”

“Is that so? Sit down and rest for a bit. It’s a little bit like a reward for helping me, but I’ll pack some useful potions.”

“I didn’t do it because I wanted compensation, but I won’t mind if you say you’ll take care of it.”

Sotia says that, and she goes to the window, looks around her shop, then sits down in her chair to take a breath. She’s a little hot, fanning with her hand, and my eyes meet hers.

Then she said she didn’t do anything herself, she hurriedly lowered her hand, sat in her straight posture and looked at me.

She doesn’t have to be that rigid, but she’s not the kind of person who will listen to me when I tell her to be comfortable, so I decided that’s why.

Fedric, the guardian knight of Larisha von Meloyer, was asked to take care of Irina, and was on her way out after feeding her room. Irina Blood’s situation looks very serious.

Dark circles hang down around her eyes, and her lips are parched. Was that all she was? It was so pitiful that she was staring at the ceiling with her unfocused eyes. According to Princess Lerisha, she argued with her older brother because of family matters, but she didn’t tell them the details, so she couldn’t help even if she wanted to help.

“Haa… “

Fedric’s heart was heavy. Because of Irina, who is down? No. Because of Woros Blood. He doesn’t know what happened between him and Princess Lerisha, but the princess feels uncomfortable because of Woros.

Is that all he is? Lerisha is in a bad mood because she couldn’t even hear what Saint Eldenia said to her. She becomes the princess of the great Melloir Empire. How could she have to suffer such disgrace?

Impossible. No, something that shouldn’t happen is happening at the academy.

I have to fix it somehow. But Lerry Shah, she just said not to mind. She doesn’t even divulge her circumstances as to how this happened.

That’s why it’s more frustrating.

At that time, a guard from Elana Education District approaches.

“Fedric. He came because of what you asked for earlier.”

“Yes. A lot of work. So, has he caught anything?”

“Yes. Woros Blood, the student said he showed up at his store in District 3.”

“I see. It was a lot of work.”

Federick nodded his head. Looking at him like that, the guard speaks in a weak voice.

“Hey… What are you going to do with that one student? ?”

“No big deal. I just have something I want to investigate.”

“Is that so? Then I see. Then I will go away.”

“Yes.”

Federick watches the back of the guard as he walks away, gently pulling his sword out from the scabbard wrapped around his waist.

“To make amends. Do I have to do this after all?”

It is not very difficult to restore the princess’ face that has been crumpled. I don’t know the details, but it seems that there was some sort of emotional battle between Princess Lerisha and Woros.

Meet Woros and try to convince him. If it’s hard, I’m thinking of giving it a little scare. Regarding the content, you should apologize to Princess Lerisha first. And she will give her advice as an adult that she needs to be careful with her attitude in front of the imperial princess.

With that, Warros Blood will realize what mistake he made, and Lerisha, who received his apology, will also regain her face. I did a little research on Woros for this.

I’m an inferior student, I have a history of skipping classes and being disciplined. He is also a student who committed unscrupulous acts such as using his position to threaten weak students.

Because he’s not even this good. It must be that ignorance pierces the sky, dares to make the great Meloyer empire’s princess feel uncomfortable, yet carries her head stiffly.

This work will be a valuable one, including the guidance of a student who has grown up as an adult. For him, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he seizes the opportunity I gave him, regenerates and grows into a young man who contributes to the empire, I intend to buy him a drink after he graduates.

“For that to happen, he shouldn’t be more mean than I thought.”

In this world, there are many people who cannot be rewritten by any means. As Federik headed to District 3, he prayed that Woros Blood wouldn’t be that much trash.

Only then would he be willing to save the princess’s face. No. I would make her apologize to the princess even by beating her up. It was wrong, but it was wrong from the beginning that the trash-like inferior student ruined the mood of the great princess.

In the meantime, you should also apologize to her poor little sister.

The wrongs must be corrected. If the princess couldn’t do it, I’d do it.

Isn’t this what I, his guardian knight, have to do?
