On the day off, I forgot to eat lunch at the store with Nishia and Denas-senpai. It’s not as explosive as the first day of promotion, but customers come when we’re bored, so the store can’t be left empty.
“What? Woros Are all the wooden boards I bought yesterday gone?”
“Oh, I moved it to my room. It’s useful.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Do you want to do some architecture?”
“It is not architecture. I can only tell you that I have some personal use for it.”
I said that to Denas Yeseul, who was organizing his lunchbox. The wooden board Denas mentioned was scheduled to be processed into a horticultural boundary board, so he woke up early in the morning and moved it to the greenhouse.
In the midst of this, Nishia is the flower of magic gardening that I brought. Looking round and round at the sunflowers. The round and round sunflower, as the name suggests, is a strange flower with petals that turn round and round.
“Twirling, round and round. Sunbae flowers aren’t even planted, so it doesn’t make sense for them to grow like this.”
” Using solar heat to generate mana. I plan to plant it in a pot and use it as an interior accessory.”
“I see. This is a welcome.”
Nishia says that, resting her chin on her face and smiling as she looks at the sunflowers on her window sill. A sunflower that uses the heat of the sun to create magic. If you put that sunflower into an ancient magic material, it is a precious flower that recharges the item with magic power even if you don’t use your own magic power.
Since I have already succeeded in growing those sunflowers, I plan to share them one by one with someone in need. Looking at Nishia, who is happy while looking at the sunflowers, I feel strangely proud. Looking at her like that, she smiled and got up from her seat.
“Do you want to go to Woros now?”
“Yes, take care of the store today. Then I’ll be there. Please take good care of the Nishia store.”
“Yes yes! Don’t worry about the store and be careful.”
“Yes.”
I came out of the store with a bag full of garbage. Today is the day I decided to visit Ansink with a drink. Nishia and Denas-senpai are taking care of the store, so you don’t have to worry too much.
It was when I was thinking about that. A red-haired schoolgirl wearing a Melgard cape stops in front of me. She is holding her body back in a bunch of fright. It was when she tried to ignore her and pass by.
“Um, over there… Whoa, are you going to be Woros Blood senior?”
“… That’s right, who is it?”
“That… Hey, I heard rumors that the quality of the scented candle is good… “
“You heard rumors about scented candles and came here. If you go straight the way I came out, there is my shop. There are no shops open in that alley other than mine, so it should be easy to find.”
“Thank you.”
A red-haired female student bent her waist at 90 degrees and greeted her excessively. Embarrassed, I nodded her head appropriately and decided to hurry on her way.
…
A red-haired student looking at the back of Woros Blood, who was moving away like that. After looking around her left and right, she took off the cape she was wearing. Then her long hair slowly starts to shorten, and her red hair turns silver. Then she closed her eyes tightly.
“Older brother… “
I wanted to apologize like this. But I knew That me appearing in front of my older brother would put a lot of stress on him. I tried to use a method such as a letter or memo, but I gave up because the result itself of me interfering in my brother’s daily life was unchanged.
It is not scary to be criticized. It’s just that I’m afraid that my older brother’s daily life is being polluted. Even so, I missed my brother so much. It was good just to watch from afar, so he put into action his shady plan to use a transformation item.
Because if I didn’t see his face, I’d really go crazy. When he got hold of the disguise item, he was inclined to think that it might be better to just go and apologize in person rather than use it.
I mean, I was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
ㅡ’Ms. Irina. Opportunity will definitely come. While I can apologize… A chance to turn the relationship around. Therefore. It’s painful, but bear with me a little. If I contact Woros now… It’s really going to end.’
These were the words of Princess Lelisha. Even if I get beaten by my brother, even if I get stabbed with a knife. He was inclined to apologize even if he had to use a potion with a painful effect, but he decided to put up with it after hearing Princess Lelisha’s words to be patient with him a little longer.
That’s right, as a result of looking at my brother’s diary, my brother was the one who cared for me until he was stabbed by me. After I attacked my older brother, he told me he was thinking of taking a hard line against me.
My older brother, who cared for me, attacks me for his own safety. Of course it should be done, but will the older brother feel comfortable after the attack? No, the wounds in his heart will pile up one by one.
Because of me, none other than me. This is the reason why I finally nailed down that I shouldn’t go to my brother to apologize. I don’t mind getting hurt by my brother’s hands, but I don’t want my brother to be offended by my actions.
“Really… If I had a chance, I would apologize, including this one… I’ll watch over you, brother.”
While Irina was talking to herself like that, she used a disguise item.

Ansink’s alley in District 2 of the Elana School District.
“Master, I am here.”
“… Why am I your teacher? What about the thing anyway?”
“Of course I have prepared.”
I pointed to a small cart. Three wine bottles are tied to a cart. Ansink scratches his stomach once and walks towards the cart.
“Um… Are you a soaker?”
“Yes, I am also a student. Due to time constraints, I had no choice but to choose immersion wine.”
“Immerse… If you are a man, how to speak with the result. Take a sip first. Where.”
Ansink takes out the drinking glass he always carries, opens the lid of the strawberry wine, and pours it into the glass.
“If the alcohol sucks… Do you understand without telling me?”
“Of course. If alcohol suits Master’s taste, Master will also accept me, right?”
“I guess it depends on how good the quality of this drink is.”
Ansink takes a sip of strawberry wine, closes the lid on the bottle, and approaches me.
“First of all, you should know where you are lacking. Was your name Wolongs?”
“Woros. Woros Blood.”
“Hmm. Okay, let’s go to my house first. Let’s get the drinks in and let’s get started right away.”
Ansync said that and patted my shoulder. I pulled the cart and arrived in front of Ansink’s house in the back of the alley. A clothesline is connected between the buildings, and a lot of laundry, presumably belonging to Ansink, is hanging.
“It’s a bit shabby, but come in.”
“Yes.”
Ansync opens a rusted door. He entered the house with a bottle of wine. It looks completely rotten from the outside, but the inside is cleaner than expected. Maybe it’s because the character is sensitive to hygiene.
“Leave it in moderation.”
“Yes”
It was when I put the bottle down in the living room. From the stairs on the second floor, along with the sound of footsteps descending, a woman’s voice could be heard.
“Dad! Where the hell… You drank again… What?”
“How are you?”
“Uh… “
I saw a woman with purple hair tied back in two pigtails coming down the stairs. Of course she knows who this person is.
“This is Woros Blood. Is my disciple and… Ruby Cavian. She is my daughter.”
“Hi Ruby. It is Woros Blood.”
“… Hello.”
Ruby gives her sly nod and goes upstairs again. Ann Sink sees Ruby and lets out a sigh.
“I’m sorry. Because that child is very shy.”
“It’s okay.”
“Okay, then let’s go right away.”
Ansync said that and walked towards the front door. I followed him and looked towards the stairs Ruby had climbed.
Ruby Cavian. She is Ansync’s adopted daughter. She is also a character who will be accepted into the Melguard class next year and will occupy the second place. The person who taught her weapon skills to her Ruby is also Ann Sync, and the secret of her birth is added to make her a character who boasts of her tremendous power.
She is also a character suffering from human loathing, and she clashes with Rin and Ren quite a bit when she enters the second part. The reason why she developed her hatred of humans is her own secret that even Anne Sink doesn’t know. The fact that she is half a demon is the trigger, and Anne Sink, who raised her since childhood, dies at the end of Part 1, and she naturally hates humans.
Due to the fact that she is a half demon, she ticks and rebels against Ann Sync, but in fact, it is because she is a character who likes her father very much.
Ansync’s death. If I can stop it, I will try to stop it.
“Woros what are you doing?”
“Oh, sorry. I will leave now.”
I followed Ansink to the vacant lot where the sailors in District 2 exercised. Ansync lets out a thick belch and looks straight at me.
“Yes. Before raising students, you should decide the direction of the class. First, I need to measure your strength.”
“Thank you very much.”
“There is nothing like direct combat to determine the strength of an opponent. Do you have a favorite weapon?”
“This is a window. I want to learn spearmanship.”
I said that, recalling Zakat’s spear.
“I see. Wait, I’ll borrow a spear.”
“No. You don’t have to. There is a window that I use personally.”
“Really? Then take it out.”
“Yes!”
I concentrated and summoned the spear of Zakat. Then, a silver spear flew out of the air at a tremendous speed and landed in my hand.
“Is it a magic spear? What is that?”
“Heirloom. It’s a pity, but I don’t know much about spearmanship. I would appreciate it if you could let me know.”
“Yes. Then do as much as you can.”
Ansync said that and took a stance. It’s still bare-handed. I squeezed Zakat’s spear as I looked at Ansync. For security reasons, the window was painted silver. The power of the spear does not decrease just because the color has changed.
After concentrating, I grabbed the spear and ran towards Ansync.
“Your legs are also lacking.”
Ansync clicked her tongue as she said that. I pretended to throw out a spear, took a potion from my pocket, and threw it at Ansync. It was a throwable paralysis potion in which zzlittle candles had been replaced.
The moment the paralyzing potion fell at Ansync’s feet and was about to break. Ann Sink sticks out his leg and kicks the potion on the top of his foot. With gentle movements like slow motion, the potion bottle, which should have been broken by touching the top of my foot, floats upward without breaking. He snatches the potion bottle and smiles.
“Hora, is it a status abnormality potion? Come to think of it, you were an alchemist.”
“As expected, it doesn’t work.”
“It was a good try.”
Ansync throws the potion roughly. I took advantage of that gap and thrust the spear into Ansync’s chest.
“… !”
“My strength is at this level. But your dexterity looks good.”
“Ugh!”
With the tip of his finger, he struck the lower part of the blade with an ansink. As a result, the spear was pointed upward and the posture collapsed. Ann Sync takes advantage of that gap and runs towards me, but he stops abruptly.
“With small hair.”
At the same time as I threw the potion, the thorns of a glass-like transparent plant coated with a paralysis effect were scattered in front of me. Ansync avoids those thorns and approaches me. I swung my spear and tried to contain him. But.
Kwadang!ㅡ
“Cheer!”
Ansink ducked to avoid my spear, grabbed me by the collar and threw it to the floor. His face contorted at the pain he felt in his ass.
“Umm, that’s about it. You seem familiar with alchemy battles. When you threw that transparent thorn away, you used alchemy synthesis instantly, right?”
“… I got caught.”
“Of course not. There’s no way the tricks of a day-puppy like you can work. Spearmanship and physical skills were poor, but… It was quite nice to use alchemy synthesis in battle.”
Ansync says that and extends his hand to me. I grabbed his hand and got up.
“Your combat alchemy skills. You can use instantaneous synthesis as well as disassembly, right?”
“Yes. It’s still not enough.”
“Yes, it is good. I’ve raised magic warriors, but this is the first time I’ve raised an alchemist spearman. Yes let’s do this I’m going to apply alchemy skills to the spearmanship I’m going to teach you.”
Ansync says that and laughs. It’s the first time an alchemist has been accepted as his apprentice, so he seems to be reacting like that. As the disciples he raised died one after another, it must be a feeling he feels after a long time because he is an an-and-sink who has decided not to take in disciples.
“That sounds like a lot of fun.”
“I will work hard.”
“Cancer, that’s how it should be.”
Ann Sink says so, and after he puts his distance, he gets into his stance. It seems like he wants to keep sparring until he sees his bottom.
