Alchemist After Possessing chapter 50

50. Guardian Knight (2)

50. Guardian Knight (2)

It’s been a while since I opened a store. However, because of the location of my store in a dark alley, not a single customer comes. Apparently, my customers, who were impressed by the scented candles, didn’t even know the store was open.

“I think special measures are needed.”

“As expected, you are a senior. I just thought of that too.”

When Nishia and I were talking about that while facing each other, I heard a gurgling sound from behind. It was the sound of Sotia drinking the tea I brewed.

“I think we should publicize it… I need to seduce the influential Deputy Principal, Duralph.”

“After Deputy Principal Duralph came, Melgard students came in droves.”

“No, I need to pick out people who are influential in other classes and try to flirt with them.”

After talking that far, I heard a gurgling sound again.

“Okay, let’s list the people we need to target. I think it would be better to attack the nearest Shaiza first.”

“It’s okay to attack Shaiza, but I’m worried. Because there will be people who are jealous of your inventions. That atmosphere is still going around.”

“You have to get used to jealousy. After all, Shayza—”

Hurrup-

The sound of drinking tea bothered me, so I looked at Sotia. She sets the teacup down, takes her handkerchief from her bosom and wipes her mouth.

“Woros Blood senior. May I dare to say something?”

“Would you like another cup of tea?”

“Yes, I have more to tell you than that. I don’t know much about the business, but this car. It sells.”

“…… “

“I assure you.”

Nishia, who tilted her head at Sotia’s words, walked over to the teapot, poured a cup of tea into the cup, and drank it.

“Oh?”

“Why is that?”

“This… What car is this? It’s soft and refreshing… The taste is a bit sweet… What is this?”

“The bark of the moist tree is thinly cut and dried. It’s not just tree bark, it’s what’s left after making strawberry beeswax with bees. It is weak because it is permeated with the essence of precious ingredients, but it has the same effect as a scented candle.”

A drink containing the essence of so-called magic gardening. Nishia knows how precious she is, so she drinks the tea in one gulp without answering. It must be hot, but drink well.

“Sotia was right. Do we sell this?”

“This is not a cafe. Even if you sell a car there, if customers don’t come…. No wait.”

Come to think of it, there was no need to boil and sell tea. I just thought of a way to get the most out of that car. The skin, which is the material of this tea, is delivered to a well-known restaurant. Make an alliance Instead, they ask for publicity.

“This is a change in Nishia plans. I thought of a way to get the most out of this peel.”

“Please let me know soon.”

“Yes, this first—”

“Name.”

While I was talking with Nishia, Sotia interrupted. Nishia and I immediately turned to Sotia.

“This car. What is your name?”

“… I haven’t decided yet.”

Unfortunately, the idea of brewing tea with moist tree bark that flutters like paper is not an idea I came up with. This was stated in the item description in the game. After wrapping the fruit with this tree bark, dry it well and brew it as a tea to make fruit tea.

In Nishia’s studio, while looking at the moist tree bark left over from making wax strawberries, that explanation suddenly came to my mind. I collected the bark left over from making wax strawberries, cut it into thin slices, dried it, and brewed tea with it.

With a fresh strawberry scent, a finely blended honey taste. Is it because it contains the essence of magic gardening? As soon as I drank it, my mind became clear, and even after taking just one sip, I tasted the tremendous effect of thirst disappearing at once.

I was thinking of enjoying this delicious drink with Nishia. Academy life, research, and even business. I thought to decorate the end of a hard day with drinking this drink. Yes. I brought this item in with the intention of consuming it from the beginning.

That’s why I had no intention of using it to make money from the beginning. It was all the more so because our store was not even a cafe in the first place. I heard that a merchant must know how to accept all possibilities.

It’s probably the most basic fact, but unfortunately, before and now, I’m a person who doesn’t know much about business, so I didn’t realize even such a simple fact. Whatever is available must be used. With that in mind, I explained my plan to Nissaa.

“I see. Using this… It attracts guests.”

“It’s not just tea. Scented candles and various alchemy items we will create are provided to restaurants. Instead, the restaurant should promote our store.”

“But it is difficult. There must be a lot of people who want to eat only what we provide.”

Nishia’s point was indeed sharp. I don’t know the business well, but there was a fact that I could affirm one thing. The relationship between money is very dizzy and messy.

This is the picture I want. It provides scented candles and tree bark, which is used as an ingredient in tea. The store that received the supplies distributes flyers to promote our cafe to customers. But let’s think about it.

To get the most out of publicity, you need to partner with a store that is in that weight class. Will a store with that level of weight really be satisfied with the items we give? Those who make money will recognize the value of my items. The problem is that my items are too good.

It’s fortunate if you’re satisfied with the items I give you, but I’m sure you’ll be worried about whether there’s anything more to buy. In the worst case, along with the item, the publicity fee may be robbed.

I want someone who will affiliate with me purely with the will of the value of my item, without any dirty intentions. For that purpose, it doesn’t matter if you collaborate with a store with a slightly lower level. If there is such a person. Sotia, who had been quiet at that time, said something.

“Partnership… It’s a bit tricky, but there’s one shop I know. But like I said, it’s quite tricky… With a car as good as this, I would be satisfied.”

“Where is that?”

“This is where we met today. It’s a cafe run by a 4th grader, Shaiza. It is a shop passed down from generation to generation, so it has a sense of tradition.”

Sotia clears her throat and continues her words.

“All believers in Goddess Rosasia. If the quality of the product is excellent, you will definitely partner with us. Best of all, since I go every day, I can drink this delicious tea every day. “

“…… “

“… Anyway, if you want to connect, I’ll try my hand at it a little.”

“Yes. Let’s do it. Sotia Then, could you make a table for me tomorrow?”

“Okay. What is the name of the car by the way?”

I crossed my arms and shook my head moderately.

“Moist strawberry honey tea.”

“Yes?”

“Moist strawberry honey tea.”

“Moist strawberry… It’s a bit of a name, but I get it. I will tell you that.”

What’s your name? It is a tea made from dried tree bark, infused with strawberries and honey that contain the essence of magical horticulture.

I doubted Sotia’s sense for a moment, but since she doesn’t know the process of making this tea, it was enough to feel strange, so I decided to do it.

“Nishia, that’s how it turned out, so let’s stop here for today. Leaving the store open would only waste time.”

“Yes, I understand. What are you going to do now, sir? If you have nothing to do, would you like to go to my workshop and do research together?”

Nishia said that, grabbing my collar and shaking it.

From noble mtl dot com

“No. I have something to prepare. When we make beeswax strawberries as usual. A piece of tree bark comes out. To be honest, it doesn’t matter if we throw it away or only use it, but thinking about supplying it to a store, I think we have to change the way we do it. Because I have to harvest several sheets at once.”

“Yes? How?”

“It’s not that difficult. You can use dozens of tree barks that are used to wrap strawberries. After all, strawberries grow to the size of watermelons. Even if you use dozens of peels, the nutrients will be evenly distributed.”

For that purpose, he felt the need to supply a little bit of moist tree bark.

“Strawberries… The size of a watermelon… Wow.”

Sotia speaks to herself, raising her head slightly. It seems that he is imagining a strawberry as big as a watermelon. Just when I was thinking, if I knew I would be interested in this much, she should have shown it in person, Nishia came up to me.

“Okay. So, that’s it for today. I’ll clean up after you, so it’s okay if you leave first.”

“Thank you. Then I’ll go first. We need to supply moist tree bark.”

“Okay. See you tommorow. Are you coming to the store tomorrow?”

“Okay, while you are listening to the lecture, I plan to do the bottom work and come right to the store.”

For some reason, Nishia obediently lets me go. By the time she finished getting ready for work, she could see why Nishia was just letting me go. She smiles as she takes out the recipe I gave her.

I think I want to go back quickly and experiment. I said hello to Nishia, walked out of the store with Sotia, and walked through the market.

It was when I was walking slowly, looking around the market.

“Worros Blood Student. Is it okay for a minute?”

“…… “

A grown man is calling me. In line with that, Sotia covers me and stands. I told Sotia it was okay and motioned for her to step back. Then, she was far enough away that her voice could not reach.

I didn’t have to go that far. Still, we keep the distance to come within sight.

“You are the knight of Princess Larisha von Meloyer.”

“Hmm. I don’t like being called Boone, but what can I do?”

“So may I ask why you are here?”

“It’s a little bit about talking here, so where do I go?”

“Then, let’s go to my store.”

Lerisha’s knight nodded at my suggestion. She went back the way she came and returned to the store. Nishia must have already left work, and her door was locked. I unlocked the door and pointed to a table.

Guardian knights sit down after opening the window and looking outside. Judging from the reaction, it seems that the story to be told from now on should not leak out.

Looking out the window and seeing that she was seated right away, Sotia seems to have completely spread her distance. If she had been outside her window, this knight would have made some kind of gesture. If it were Sotia, in a little while, she would hurry up and put her ear to the store door to check on her movements.

“So what are you going to say?”

“Well, it’s not such a big deal. Do you think there is anything to be gained by fighting spirits with the imperial princess?”

“Yes?”

I couldn’t understand what this person was talking about, so she tilted her head.

“I don’t talk long. Apologize to the princess.”

“Wait a minute. He will apologize if he has done anything wrong.”

“Are you saying you didn’t do anything wrong?”

“No. I mean, I don’t know what I did wrong.”

“Don’t you know that going against the princess’s heart is a big mistake?”

I couldn’t understand what this old man had come to with a misunderstanding, so I involuntarily let out a sigh.

“This is an opportunity. You’re making this mistake because you don’t know how high up Princess Lelisha is. As long as you apologize to the princess, I’ll take care of the aftermath.”

“Did you come because Princess Lelisha sent you?”

“It doesn’t matter who sent it. The important thing is that you turned the sky into an enemy.”

“Go back. I haven’t done anything wrong to the princess, and even if there is, it’s a problem that the princess and I have to solve, and you, the guardian knight, will step in—”

Drreuk!ㅡ

The Guardian Knight got up from his seat before I could finish my words. When I wonder why this old man is like this, he suddenly grabs my collar.

“I didn’t think the words would work from the beginning. It’s going to be a bit rough, but you’ll thank me later.”

“What kind of small grain?”

“I am going to mediate your relationship with the princess. It will start with your apology.”

“No, I didn’t do anything wrong to him?”

“Then the princess… Are you saying that the princess of Meloyer did something wrong to you? Only to you? Even if that’s the case, don’t you see that it’s wrong to build her pride on the princess?”

I can’t keep up with the focus of the conversation. I wonder if I’m the problem, I’ve been trying to remember, but I can’t find a corner at all. Lerry Shah couldn’t have told this person about “Discrimination”, So she probably didn’t mean that Lerry Shah was holding me in check because my behavior and my abilities were different from her judgment.

So what is it? Other than that, what else could have happened between me and Larisha?

“I’ll say it again, you may resent me now, but you will realize later that I did everything for you.”

“No, because I’m going to be patient, I’m not sure what I’m talking about!”

With my collar lifted up, the guardian knight punches me in the abdomen. Judging from the shock, it seems that he hit it with his hand to some extent. However, I have a big scar on my stomach.

It seems that the wound that was healing has burst due to the knight’s punch. As soon as he let go of my collar, I fell to the floor and grabbed my stomach. He was looking down at me insignificantly, as if he didn’t know that my wounds had just burst from the shock.

“I barely got hit with this, and I was knocked over. Turning the princess into an enemy? I’ll inject you with manners today”

“Ugh.”

“If you get hit a little and come to your senses, go straight to the princess and bow your head in apology. Got it? Oh, just in case, I am a knight of the Empire. If you tell the princess about this, I will not forgive you.”

He said that and trampled my head with his foot.

Guardian Knight Federik knew it well from his previous experiences. He said how effective violence is in correcting people. If I take care of Woros a bit here and keep his mouth shut, there’s no way he’ll tell Princess Lelisha about this, and even if he does, there’s no way the princess would trust him other than me.

Shutting up should be pretty simple too. First of all, the violence terrifies me. Then I explain my background well. Even if the silence doesn’t work, there are knights of the imperial family behind me. That who Would you take the side of a student like this who was alienated from within the academy?

In the first place, if you think about Woros’s usual behavior, if you report with a moderate amount of lies, everyone will listen to me.

Woros himself would not even be able to pretend to tell you anyway, as he was under the shadow of the Empire. The background of being a knight of the imperial family had that much power.

No matter how hard I hit a scumbag, a kind-hearted person like Princess Lelisha would reprimand me, but that’s not the case in this case.

There’s no way this matter will go into the ears of the princess.

At that thought, Federik’s heart was quite light. He was just plain, he was just thinking of correcting the bullying a bit. However, there was a fact he was overlooking.

Bang!

“What are you doing!”

I had no idea that Sotia Sonia, whom I sent back a while ago, was Woros’s bodyguard.

Considering her position of protecting Woros, it was natural for her to return, but from Federik’s point of view, a student who thought she had returned suddenly broke in, and it was embarrassing.
