My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

“So you mean you’ve been living in this slash-and-burn village?”

James, the president of the Afelice Society, asked in surprise.

Disappeared for nearly 20 years…

The father of alchemy, Cloudy Lazur.

It was so unbelievable that he continued to live in a village of slash-and-burn farmers in a mountain village, away from the world.

Cloudy took a sip of the tea and smiled kindly.

“Not one voice has changed, James.”

“Once in the Empire… No, why don’t you contact me at least once? If it was Cloudy-sama’s request, I could have provided any kind of support to any foreign country… .”

“I wanted to get away from people. At that time, I was biased towards emotions. Twenty years have passed before I knew it.”

“What is that… .”

James looked at Cloudy as if he didn’t understand.

Are there human emotions so intense that they can take 20 years to sort out?

Moreover, he is not an ordinary person, it is Cloudy Lajour.

The history of living, breathing alchemy that made the greatest contribution to the development of alchemy.

It was hard to imagine that someone like a kind of wise man hid for 20 years because of his emotions.

But there seems to be something more important than that.

Paul Stern, president of the Tirpe Society, asked Cloudy.

“President, are you returning now? To the kingdom of Tyrpe?”

His words were strangely boned.

The premise that if Cloudy returns, he will of course return to Tyrpe.

Because it was a symbol of Tyrpe and Continental Alchemy…

If Cloudy were to go to another country, it would be a huge loss for the Kingdom of Tyrpe.

Paul Stern had a cause and duty to bring Cloudy back to Tyrpe, no matter what.

“pole. How long are you going to use the term president? Aren’t you the president of the school now?”

“If the president returns, I can transfer it as much as I want!”

At his sudden shout, Claudy laughed and waved her hand.

“done. It’s already been 20 years since I retired. I refuse to give up such courage.”

“Well, then… ”

“okay. I will have to go back Isn’t this the time of chaos on the continent?”

“ah… !!”

As long as James and Paul had already identified the place of residence and came to visit, there was no confidence in hiding any more.

And it was also true that the continent was in a time of chaos.

Even when the demon war broke out, he didn’t show himself, but…

Things are worse now than they were then.

The demon war is a war that mankind always prepares for according to the cycle, and each time, the warriors of the reversal defended the continent with superhuman strength.

Until now, mankind had never lost a continent to demons.

But now, for the first time in the history of demons and humans, a gate called the ‘double gate’ has opened.

Despite the cycle not returning, a large number of demons are invading the continent through the gate.

In addition, the number of gates and the number of demons who crossed over could not be counted.

Moreover, the blood-sucking clan, vampires.

Although many of them have already been lost in the annihilation of the mid-tier Demon Alliance, the Lord is still alive and a few vampires remain.

The reality is that it is unknown what tricks the demons parasitic among humans are using.

That was the current state of the continent, which was chaotic and calm like the eve of a storm.

If there is a point where Cloudy, who has put down a lot, has to come back.

That’s definitely right now.

And above all…

‘The research that I dared to challenge… It’s over.’

Cloudy smiled bitterly.

After he disappeared 20 years ago.

The last study that I had poured all my energy into over the years.

The fact that the study has finally reached the end.

It was one of the biggest reasons for coming back this time.

“I read the newspaper today and saw that there is a promising alchemist.”

Cloudy pretended not to know and took her luck.

A familiar face I saw in the newspaper today.

It was a story about Sacher.

At that, James, who was next to him, helped with an excited face.

“You mean Sacher Philip? you’re right. The most popular young alchemist these days. He is a warrior like the treasure of the Apelliche Empire.”

“… I’ve been involved in several incidents lately. But in alchemy, it’s still not up to Ariel Tyrpe.”

However, Paul Stern retorted with a displeased face.

From his point of view, who must return Cloudy to Tirpe, there was no way he was happy about praising an alchemist from another country.

Then, James’ expression softened.

“What is that? Sacher Philip, who knows how to handle golems and does genius inventions, where is he falling behind?”

“A golem? An alchemist should be good at making magic tools.”

“Sacher Philip is good at making magic tools!”

Mount Armaine, inside Cloudy’s cabin.

An untimely Sacher vs. Ariel debate was taking place.

Cloudy laughed heartily at the childish argument of his juniors.

These guys are really fun to watch after a long time.

‘Sacher… Sacher Philip.’

And he repeated the name again.

Even if the name changes

I got a new surname.

still miss…

It was the name of the disciple.

“Boss, I’ll go in first.”

“Uh, uh yeah.”

Quick-witted Anna got up from her seat.

Weird atmosphere in the store.

To be precise, the gloomy expression of Ruen who had just entered.

It’s a move that seems to have confirmed him right away.

… One thing to be sure is that he is an amazing junior.

with my daughter-

With the sound of the shop door opening, Anna left.

“… … .”

A suffocating silence flowed through the store.

Normally, I would have naturally handed over a chair and recommended sitting down, but seeing Luen’s expression after a month was so dark… I didn’t think much of it.

Was the search for my father not going well?

Or did something happen in a month?

Unnecessary worries and concerns ran through my head.

Ruen still has a lot of scars…

It feels like I have left a scar on my heart again.

‘Didn’t things go the way I thought… .’

There were many things I wanted to ask.

Wasn’t it difficult to travel alone for a month?

I went to look for my dad, but what happened?

Schunika told me to come over to her house… will you go together

There are important contents, but the story is small.

I wanted to share such a story with Ruen, who was now quite speechless.

“Uh, that… ”

The moment I was about to say something like that.

Tak – Tak.

Ruen moved her small body and slowly brought her to me.

“… … .”

I’m used to it now, so I don’t even have the energy to say anything.

Should I say it’s fortunate that I’m not hugged like the others… ?

From Karin and Schunika to Ruen.

Girls who have a crush on me come hugging me as if they promised me.

Of course, the trigger was a coincidence.

Schnika was happy with my proposal, and Ruen must have had a hard time during the trip to find her father.

But when coincidences continue, I feel it is inevitable.

It was even more so if the target was Schnika and Ruen.

It’s because I myself have felt that the girls have been steadily expressing their feelings for me lately.

from friends to opposite s*x.

That’s how Shunika and Ruen’s view of me changed.

You can tell just by looking at their eyes when they talk.

Even Karin, who confessed her feelings to me a long time ago, was like that.

The expression of affection between Schnika and Ruen, who had been friends for a year, was actually embarrassing.

From my point of view, there is nothing special about it…

They change at some point

Because I was expressing him to me.

‘still… Because I didn’t confess.’

what is visible,

There is a clear difference between actually listening to it.

No matter how much he likes me, if I don’t tell him directly, I can’t react.

It could be that I’m just imagining and misunderstanding myself.

So I pushed back my thoughts on the answer for a while.

After procrastinating once, it was easy to procrastinate a second time or a third time.

Anyway, now was the time to comfort Ruen, who seemed to be having a hard time.

“Louen, are you okay?”

“i like you.”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

“… yes?”

I wonder if this word really came out of Luen’s mouth.

But the Luen that I embraced…

Leaning your face in my arms.

holding my waist with both hands.

in a trembling voice,

But he spoke clearly without stuttering.

“I like you, Sacher.”

Her confession reveals traces of long agony.

that pretty heart.

Clear with no blemishes.

It sounded clearly in my ears.

“… … .”

Ruen slowly fell away from me.

And he met my eyes.

I’m trembling as if I’m very nervous,

A body that faces without avoiding it.

I have a little bit of fear,

A firm expression without shaking.

A few tears welled up,

Red eyes like jewels.

she is now

With a more confident expression than anyone else,

He was giving me his heart.

courageously.

And looking at Ruen, who confidently expressed her emotions…

I suddenly thought it was beautiful.

My bruised and embarrassed expression,

The current situation that a friend confesses.

It didn’t hit me that much.

Just what catches my eye…

Ruen, who was shy,

Luen, who was always silent,

Luen had a lot of scars.

without borrowing anyone’s strength.

Standing upright on her own,

expressing one’s heart as it is.

It was so beautiful.

If you can see human beings as a work of art.

She was like a carved statue.

so beautifully cut,

Even she herself did not notice that it had become art.

Dazzling light containing the soul of an artist.

A picture that captures all the light.

We are in that shining landscape,

were facing each other.

And once again.

she whispered carefully.

“good… sun. Sacher.”

today.

Luen confessed to me.
