Chapter 3 - 17 My Home My Life – Get call out

『Alchemy skill level has reached 9』

【 Alchemy Lv 9 – Known Magic Circle (Experience circle)
        You can create something once you've made it, instantly via the magic circle.
        Materials are automatically consumed, so if you don't have enough, you can't create them.
        Even if you have knowledge of how to make it, you can't create it.
        Once it is need to be made by hand-forming, synthesizing, reconstructing, etc.】

When I finished making a certain number of accessories while getting lap pillow from Renge, my alchemy skills finally went up to level 9.

<Known magic circle>: With this, finally I guess I got cheat-like another world skill.
The highest level of alchemy level I have seen currently. I finally reached the same level as Reinrich.
After that, there was still the legendary level 10, but if Reinrich hadn't been able to become one, I didn't think I could either.

I'm going to try to make one as soon as possible.
As soon as I looked at Renge wondering what to make, my hands started moving on their own.
The magic circle was written on the parchment on the desk by itself, like an automatic handwriting, and after it was completed, the circle glowed when the magic power was poured into it.
I didn't have time to check it with the instantaneous stream of instructions in my head, but it wasn't a very large amount to remember.

And with a moment, a small bottle of potions appeared on top of the magic circle.
Apparently, the magic circle loses its effectiveness when its magic power runs out.
But the magic circle itself remained intact.

When I checked what was created with the <Appraisal>, I was amazed and checked the Magic Space at the same time.
The large amount of materials that Aina and Solte had recently collected for me, which I had saved in one of the spaces I had divided by materials, were almost all gone.
Renge was wondering what I was doing, but she'd probably be surprised if I told her what I'd made.

I mean, I wonder how I could have created this.
I don't remember making it, I don't know how to make it, and I've never even seen it.
If people know I can make this, there will be nothing but troublesome things will arrive to me.
Let's keep this one quiet. Let's pretend I got one when I reincarnate at worst.

“What have you created?” (Renge)
“Hmmm. A secret, I guess” (Itsuki)

I wonder if Renge has not seen it, too.
Well, but given the effect of this, it's probably not very popular.
Let's do a quick check later.

“Eh, isn't it fine? Please tell me!” (Renge)

Renge keeps asking me about it, but by chance luck has come? Shiro and Wendy broke in and used the opportunity to store that potion and magic circle into the Magic Space.

Then, after getting scold at by Wendy and Shiro, we started having an early lunch and a food break.
Of course, the place is the terrace.
I worked with Wendy earlier and made another parasol and a large chair and arranged them with others.
I quietly sat in a single chair with a book open and a parasol to block out the sunlight, enjoying my solitary world.
This book is a book about alchemy that was given to me by Reinrich as a parting gift, and it has a lot to do with alchemy.
It's a pretty fun read as it's about alchemy that I will continue to be a part of.

“Ma-st-er-“ (Shiro)

Naturally, Shiro is the one who throws a hip attack from in front of me with her voice.
I'm currently sitting in a chair that's impossible to avoid.

“Gufuwa” (Itsuki)
“Hmmm ... I'll sleep on Lord” (Shiro)
“If you're going to sleep, use the bigger one......” (Itsuki)

I took the trouble to vacate it.
Or rather, I wanted to sit over here because I wanted to relax by myself.

“Three people together is tight. So I'm here with Lord” (Shiro)

Oh, I think I made 3 of them to be 2 people per 1 chair.
But Shiro. This chair is for one person only.
Also, it's painful due to gravity.... Just we just had lunch, so it's extra.

“Ahhh! Shiro! You again!” (Wendy)
“The one who slow is fault” (Shiro)
“What. Well, you look comfortable” (Solte)
“Having to get on Lord...... envious” (Aina)
“What is it? Oh, that sounds like fun!” (Renge)

After finishing washing up and cleaning up, they all have arrived here.
And sure enough, Wendy and Shiro are in an argument

“Then you'll take over” (Shiro)
“Oh, are you sure?” (Wendy)
“You sure about this, Shiro?” (Itsuki)
“Today is fine” (Shiro)
“So, then! Excuse me” (Wendy)
“Nice. I wonder if I could get if I request it” (Aina)
“I'm fine. It looks too hot in here. Aina, Renge, let's go to that big one” (Solte)
“That's right. I'd like to sit down at least once, but today I'm going to spend some time over there sunbathing” (Renge)

Unusual.
That Shiro would give it to Wendy so easily.

“...... that is Shiro's exclusive, and you will soon see why” (Shiro)

Hmm?
Wendy turned around and put her butt on top of me...Eh! Wait a minute!

“Fugu-uhuh” (Itsuki)
“Master-sama! Oh, I can't get up!” (Wendy)

Ooh, yeah!
What a gravity!
My belly, my belly is getting squeezed!
No time to savor the sensations!
I wonder if this fabric is going to be okay!!

“See. Shiro's exclusive” (Shiro)
“Shh, Shiro! You schemed me!” (Wendy)
“I'm not scheming. It's Wendy's big, heavy butt that's bad” (Shiro)
“Keeee! Shiro, sit down there! Today is the day to be punished!” (Wendy)
“Oh, don't struggle, Ug, I ate just recently” (Itsuki)
“Ahh! I'm sorry, Master-sama! I'll stand up immediately and my butt will be stuck, mmm!” (Wendy)

I'm trying my best to reach out my arms to touch the ground, but I'm not reaching at all.
...... I'll have to put a handrail on it later.
Wendy is doing her best to keep her hips afloat, so there's no more pressure on her belly, but that's pinpoint hip gravity at one point.

“Mmm-hmm! I can't get up! Master-sama, are you, all right? It's okay, right? Not heavy, is it?” (Wendy)
“Oh, yup. It's okay. It's not like Wendy's heavy......” (Itsuki)
“Master-sama, I will use your knee for a moment” (Wendy)

With that, Wendy grabbed my upright knee and stood up forcefully.
At that point, the pinpoint is the outbreak, which somehow helped....

“Mm. As I expected, this is Shiro's place” (Shiro)
“Master-sama. It seems that Shiro is sitting in that chair alone. So shall we both move over there?” (Wendy)
“Nuh-uh. That's not fair. If that happens, Shiro will go there too” (Shiro)
“No, no. Shiro wants to be by herself! You can use this chair if you like, okay?” (Wendy)
“NO-!” (Shiro)
“No, if you can, make the decision quietly......” (Wendy)

No, if possible, I'd like you two to just stay in that chair over there and get comfortable....

“It's a tough thing being liked by people” (Renge)
“That's special. I mean, I thought Wendy was more ladylike than that, but she's pretty bold” (Solte)
“Yeah, I thought so too. I wonder if that aggressiveness is the secret to Lord's liking, after all” (Aina)
“......” (Itsuki) (Shiro) (Wendy)

No, there!
Could you not say what you want from behind?
The three of them are really enjoying the sunbath!
I want to relax too, though......

RING RING RING

“Oh, I see someone's here. I'll get it” (Itsuki)
“Master-sama! If you have a visitor, I will go!” (Wendy)
“Shiro will go too” (Shiro)
“It's fine. You two are to make some sort of mutual understanding of how you two are going to do from now on” (Itsuki)

I can't overlook any more of those problems.
If this continues, the two of them will be banned from entering the terrace for a while.
I want to be quiet and enjoy sunbathing.

“Oh, and I'm sorry, but the three of you can always go ahead and collect materials. Last time it was ore, so this time I'd like to ask you to focus on materials for potions” (Itsuki)
“I understand. I'll be there as soon as I get off my food break” (Solte)
“If it's herb-based, it's good for the forest on the way to the dungeon. There's also Renge, and I'll get some good ingredients in the deep end” (Aina)
“Mmm! It's been a long time since I've been able to exercise!” (Renge)

The three of them raised their hands in the air as if they understood and each replied.
I was worried about whether it was safe to hear that they will go deeper place, but looking at the three of them, there seemed to be no problem.


When I opened the front door and went to the gate, there was a single carriage and a man who looked like a servant waiting for me.
I don't recognize him.
He's probably twice as old as I am in the gentleman's style.
He was like THE butler with a monocle on, old man.

“Nice to meet you. I am Lord's butler, and my name is Soma. You are alchemist-sama who lives here, I presume?” (Soma)
“Yeah, I'm the landlord of this place” (Itsuki)
“So, I will be brief, my lord is waiting for you. May I ask you to come with me?” (Soma)
“......” (Itsuki)

I wonder what Lord need from me........., I guess it's all about Renge.
I remember Yashisu saying yesterday that he had explained it to him, but I wondered if he had any thoughts on it.
Whatever it is, it's not just an ordinary thing to get a direct call from a lord.

“Don't worry. I have no intention of harming you, and I have no orders to arrest you. You will be home by the end of the day” (Soma)
“Okay. Well, I'll call guard” (Itsuki)
“I'm sorry, my lord is unwell and cannot spend much time on the road. Time is limited, so we ask that you to come alone. We will take care of the return trip as well” (Soma)
“......Okay. Let's just go with it then” (Itsuki)
“I'm very grateful for your understanding” (Soma)

The butler opens the carriage door and I step inside.
In there, it seemed that one person was already inside.
A child? Right?

“Hello, Onii-chan!” (Child in carriage)
“Hello...... Um, you are?” (Itsuki)
“This is my lord's grandchild, Oligor-sama. Since you insisted on following the alchemist-sama's place today, I am sorry, but may I ask you to keep her company until we arrive at the lord's residence?” (Soma)
“That's fine, but, uh, elf?” (Itsuki)
“No, Oligor-sama is a halfling.” (Soma)

I wonder what a halfling is........
As I recall, they're short and their ears are pointed like elves... but I don't recognize them.

“Come on, Onii-cahn. Come on, sit down! Let's have a talk!” (Oligor)
“Yeah, so? What are you going to talk about?” (Itsuki)
“Onii-chan lives in that house, right?” (Oligor)
“Yeah. I got that from Darwin” (Itsuki)
“I see. How's that? Comfortable to live in. It's not very spacious, but is it comfortable to live in?” (Oligor)
“Yeah, I mean, it's more than big enough for me” (Itsuki)

I wonder if she knew this because she was the grandchild of a lord.

“Did you do any modifications to the basement?” (Oligor)
“I had a bath and an alchemy room built for me. Thanks to that, I'm fulfilled every day” (Itsuki)
“Oh! A bath! Nice. Next time, let me in!” (Oligor)
“Uh ... sure. Hinoki bath is great after all” (Itsuki)
“Fufu, I'm looking forward to it. The alchemy room, is Onii-chan an alchemist?” (Oligor)
“Well, yeah. In case you're wondering, I've been allowed to join the Alchemist's Guild” (Itsuki)
“I see. So, can I come to hang out with you sometime?” (Oligor)
“Yeah, whenever you want. If I'm not busy” (Itsuki)
“Then, that's a promise!” (Oligor)

Which one is this child?
Even though he's young and have long hair, and use "boku" so a boy? Or a girl?
Even though it's a child, this will hurt he/she if I make a mistake.

“So, does Onii-chan live on your own?” (Oligor)
“No, there are six people including me” (Itsuki)
“Oh, family?” (Oligor)
“No, two subordinate slaves and three criminal slaves” (Itsuki)
“......crime slaves? Do you live with someone who has done something wrong?” (Oligor)

Oh, damn it.
I answered too honestly.
I shouldn't have said "crime" on it.

“If I say it is, so it is and if I say it isn't, then it isn't so this is kind of complicated, I guess?” (Itsuki)
“I see. Are you not afraid?” (Oligor)
“Not at all. All of them are good girls” (Itsuki)
“I see. So Onii-chan is having debauch every day” (Oligor)
“Quite amazing for me to see that you know what debauch mean. Well, I wish it were, but I'm just happy to hang out with them” (Itsuki)
“I can’t see if you're greedy or not. Since you are young, I think it's best for you to be greedy” (Oligor)
“I think I'm greedy. I don't want to work, and I want to spend the rest of my life doing nothing and doing whatever I want. I think it is greedy to want to live a comfortable, uncomplicated, trouble-free, not getting involed into troublesome things in life, I guess?” (Itsuki)
“Well, if you put it that way, maybe. So then, why did Onii-chan get a slave? Couldn't you have easily lived that kind of life on your own?” (Oligor)
“Well, it's sad to be alone. And they're all pretty, and as I'm sure you'll find out when you grow up, guys are just happy to be with a pretty girl, you know?” (Itsuki)
“I don't know... I'm a girl” (Oligor)

Oh, she is a woman......

“And by everyone, I assume you mean everyone is female. Erotic” (Oligor)
“Oh.......... I should say it's a flow, or rather a part of it that can't be helped, but.......” (Itsuki)
“Heh, gee-ho. Gee-ho. Oh, gee-ho! I'm sorry” (Oligor)
“It's fine. Are you okay?” (Itsuki)
“Yeah. I think it's a cold. My cough comes out sometimes” (Oligor)
“Do you take your medication?” (Itsuki)
“Hmmm, I don't really like taking medicine. We, halflings, are beings live the way nature intended” (Oligor)
“Okay. I'm not saying you have to, but if it's really hard for you, try this. I mean, the herbs and the water come from nature, right?” (Itsuki)

The one I handed over was the recently made 『Cure-all (Inferior)』.
I concentrated and synthesized a recovery potion (Medium) and repeated the process, and before I knew it, it became a 『Cure-all (Inferior)』.

『Cure-all (Inferior) – A medicine that cure all kind of wounds and diseases.
        As it is inferior, it is limited to a certain extent.
        It cannot break the curse. 』

“Are you sure? It's expensive, right?” (Oligor)
“You don't have to worry about the price, because it's something that happened to be made by accident. I'm more concerned about a child coughing” (Itsuki)
“Oh, I see...... Thanks. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but I'll take it as a sentiment!” (Oligor)
“That's fine. If it gets really hard, I suggest you take it, whether you like it or not” (Itsuki)
“Yup. Thanks. Onii-chan is kind” (Oligor)
“By the way, is Lord a scary person?” (Itsuki)
“Huh? Hmmm, I don't know. When it's scary, he's scary, and when it's kind, he's kind. But lately I haven't been feeling well, so I haven't been able to meet him much” (Oligor)
“Is Lord a halfling too?” (Itsuki)
“No. Grandpa's just a ordinary human race” (Oligor)
“So, I thought the medicine would cure it, right?” (Itsuki)
“Hmm. It can be cured if it needs to be. But ordinary medicines only suppress the progression of the disease, and they don't work unless they're of elixir level” (Oligor)
“...elixir” (Itsuki)

『Elixir - Secret medicine to get rid of all kinds of negative conditions, including site defects, diseases and curses.
    However, it cannot resist longevity and natural destiny. 』

The value is unknown.
The method of production is unknown, and there are no more than 20 in absolute numbers in the entire world.
The ones in possession are the royalty and some of the nobles, the book I mentioned earlier mentioned.

The value is unknown, so I wonder if it's possible that rich people will get it at all costs if it can be cured from a partial defect to anything else.
But this one is a gem that could be make people kill for to acquire it.
That's hard for even a city lord to obtain........

“I've been asking Hayato for a quest........ He's having a little bit of trouble with it. As I recall, Onii-chan is a friend of Hayato, right?” (Oligor)
“Yeah. Hayato is my lifesaver. I was almost eaten by a bug, and he saved my life” (Itsuki)
“Heh. When you say "bug," do you mean caterpillar? That's a strong demon around this city that requires adventurer level 3 if deal with party, and adventurer level 5 if deal with solo, because it's a strong monster around this city. You're lucky to be alive” (Oligor)
“Totally. Bugs should be gone from this world....” (Itsuki)

Oh, no.
The trauma is coming back.
That open-mouthed, dripping saliva that thing, ohehhhhhhh........

“Are you okay, Onii-chan? You don't look so good?” (Oligor)
“Sorry. I just remembered that and I got a little sick...” (Itsuki)
“Oh, I'm sorry? Um, yeah. What does Onii-chan make with alchemy?” (Oligor)
“Oh ... well, there's a lot of accessories and medicine. The medicine is wholesale to the Adventurer's Guild” (Itsuki)
“Heh... Then I'll ask Grandpa to make something for me too” (Oligor)
“If it's a legitimate request, I'll do it. By the way, what would you like?” (Itsuki)
“Hmm. A hairpiece, I guess? Maybe a tiara or something” (Oligor)
“Haha. That's the part where you're a girl” (Itsuki)
“Oh, it's awful. I'm a girl, so of course I like beautiful decorations” (Oligor)

I'm glad I managed to get back on track.
Then we kept talking about it until we got to lord's house.
