Alchemist After Possessing

19. The girl and the demon

19. Girl and devil

The popularity of the scented candles sold at the Shiza Invention Shop was truly amazing. On the first day, a 3000 Dawn special event raised 36,000 Dawn in profits. The next day, 80 units were sold out without a special price, earning 480,000 dun.

Nishia and I both started making money and had some spare time, so we agreed to only produce 20 scented candles a day. There are only 20 of them, but if you sell all of them, you will make 120,000 won.

Even if you divide it in half, it is 60,000 won. Even if it was only 15 days a month, it was enough to pay for Nicia’s studio rent and punishment, so they reached an agreement. Our main job is not merchants, but students, so we had to reduce the proportion of merchants a bit.

Today was a holiday for Nishia and the shop, so he was stuck in the greenhouse and was absorbed in riding tech.

[Production Success!]

「Devil’s Energy」

●A potion made from the flower of life that has lost its life and died. An evil aura pervades. If you drink it, you feel like the devil will descend on your body for a moment.

[The mastery of Magic Gardening has risen.]

[Alchemy: The skill of making potions has risen.]

“You’re back at last.”

Succeeded in regaining the demonic energy that was consumed on the day of the joint battle. In other words, it means that there is not much left to level up in magic gardening. When the level of magic gardening rises, a lot of materials for all kinds of practical items are released, so it seems that the invention shop will be busy for a while.

My heart raced at the thought of getting a new seed. First of all, in a corner land that was not used because there was no horticultural boundary plate, he planted a seed containing life and poured an entire bottle of devil’s energy on it. Now all you have to do is wait for the results.

After finishing the work in the greenhouse, I sat on a chair next to the production table and looked up at the ceiling. I wanted to meet Nishia now that I have free time to discuss another business item, but Nishia will be involved in the magic item swap case in Part 1, Act 4, and will be rolling with Rin or Ren, so she will be busy.

“Um… It’s free.”

When Magic Gardening rises to level 2 and you can get border plates, you can plant seeds in all the soil in the 1st greenhouse. If that happens, you will definitely be busy, so you should enjoy your time now. However, it is also true that there is nothing to do when you are free.

“Isn’t the story bent in a strange direction?”

I shook my head. The main story has nothing to do with me, except for the story that drops the items needed to build the greenhouse later and the story of the Blood family, so there was no need to worry.

Part 1, Act 4, the magic item exchange case. In this episode, which serves as a stepping stone, the story progresses in the same way, except for the intro, whether you choose Arisha or Melgard.

The background is the first-year title conferment ceremony, and the location is the site of the event where only students who will receive the title this time and those who already have the title will participate. Basically, Rin and Len are not yet scheduled to present the title, so she participates in the event with the help of others.

Melgard Root sensed signs of her item swapping, and told Lerry Sha, who was participating in her title ceremony, that she and her act together.

If Arisha is chosen, she stumbles upon Nas Yeseul to pull the trigger for the next act 7, and after explaining her everything to her, she enlists Denas’ help to infiltrate her title ceremony and find her watch the dynamics

After that, both routes proceed the same. Lerisha is a fixed party member, and you can select other members from among the first year title holders to proceed with the story.

It doesn’t sound like much, but because of this intro, the route of Act 7 diverges. Melgard, who has never met her denas here, pursues her. In Arisha, where her acquaintance with Denas arises, she diverges towards protecting her.

The magic item that was swapped in this episode where Nishia is involved now will be used later in Act 7, Denas Yeseul, so it can be seen as a very important episode.

“I don’t know if Nishia is doing well.”

Nishia was the first person to admit that he was a junior. It is true that she is worried even though she knows that she will return safely. Considering Nishia’s personality, she is likely to return to the workshop right after work. She should probably buy some snacks and put them away so she can rest right away when she gets back.

With that in mind, I thought that Nishia might come back injured, so I packed up her potion and headed to the basement with a secret passage.

*

Shaiza Market Tong, Malang Malang Bakery.

Since I’m a deceased person from , Of course I’m well aware of Nishia’s favorite snacks. Nishia hates her bitter food. However, if you prepare her tongue-numbingly sweet food with her bitter drink, which is hard to eat, her eyes will sparkle.

Correspondingly, this Malang Malang Bakery is also a shop that is perfect for her Nishia taste. In the original story, when Nishia is brought to this store over the weekend, her liking increases at an insane rate. As much as Nishia, she enjoys eating sweet and bitter foods together.

Her heart was light because she came out with the idea of presenting her snacks to Nishia, who will return after finishing her main story.

Until I saw that person.

“…… “

A woman sitting by her window drinking a strangely bitter coffee and crumpling her face. It is because she can see the face of ‘Heylia’, a first-year student in Arisha’s class. That person shouldn’t be here right now. Isn’t that person supposed to be involved in the main story?

The person who used to wear a mask and summon Lash relentlessly is that Heylia. She stole an item to use from her in Act 7 and is on the run, why is she the woman who should be here and she is crumpling her face while drinking coffee. Maybe when Nishia comes back, she’ll have to ask her what happened.

*

“Mmm, delicious~”

Returning to the workshop, Nishia must have been quite tired. As soon as she arrived, she took a bite of the sweet bread, enough to make her tongue go numb. Then

“Where… “

He takes a sip of the strangely bitter coffee and sticks out his tongue. I watched Nishia’s reaction and then slowly started talking.

“Nishia So, what happened?”

“Yes? There was an accident, but how did you know about it?”

“Your clothes.”

Nishia tilts her head, examining her dusty gown. She then nods her head as if she understood.

“You convened the freshman title recipients today. There, we revealed the titles of 8 freshmen. Professors were very excited as it was the highest ever for eight freshmen to receive the title. Ha… By the way.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Everyone. Do you know what my title name is? I’m a freaking researcher. Does this make sense? I’m not a geek! Others are kings of destruction, fairy knights, and inquiring saints, but I’m a geek? Beautiful scientist. Leaving aside the title of a scientist who brings about miracles, are you saying you’re an eccentric?”

Nishia sighed as she said that. I looked at such Nishia with her eyes narrowed. After she made some money in business, she went out to eat chicken for dinner. It reminded her of the image of her grabbing the neck of a live chicken and running through her market to find ingredients to serve her.

He said he wanted to eat chicken, so of course I expected to buy the cooked chicken, but I was quite surprised.

“No, Nishia seems like the perfect title.”

“Yes? Where do I look? I’m a geek. Ha… Really. Oh, and on the day of the joint battle, there must have been a freshman who went around slicing dozens of lashes by himself in addition to the lashes we killed. Who did you say Melgard was? The title was Wandering Swordsman. Ugh, I don’t remember.”

Perhaps the first year student Nishia was talking about was . He is given the title of ‘Wandering Swordsman’, and he is a character who is too lazy to take exams, so he spends his time chewing the roots of plants under the tree while only passing the pass mark during the entrance exam and during joint battles.

At the end of Part 1, there is a scene where he and Irina stick together properly, and there, he loses to Irina by a single piece of paper. However, if she is weaker than Irina, she is also ambiguous.

In that battle, both Irina and Layplane fought without using unique skills, so it is difficult to discuss strength based on the results alone. One thing is for sure, Irina or Rayplane will be the strongest in Melgard. I’ll give Irina one vote for her personal opinion.

“So what next? If that was the case, there wouldn’t have been any reason for the clothes to get so dirty.”

“Haa, the next one is for real. One of the academy’s treasures, the , Was stolen. You say it’s a tradition? When you receive the title, you put your hand on the jewel and say the oath.”

“Yes. So did you find the treasure?”

Because it is a stolen item based on the original work, even knowing that it could not be found. It was just a question asked. But Nishia, contrary to my expectations, nodded.

“What? Did you find it?”

“Yes. Response was quick. Princess Lerisha, who was conducting a ceremony nearby, gathered the people around her and took it back. Then the masked woman appears again. I was blown away.”

“No… Did you really find it?”

“Sure. Ten people rushed at the same time, so the enemy couldn’t help it either.”

I was puzzled by the word ten, but I soon came to a conclusion. In , There are five people per party. But now there are two main characters who will be woven into the story. So, in this main story, the two main characters sortie at the same time.

According to the original story, the masked woman faces the five main characters. Heylia manages to escape the pursuers and takes To cause future undead accidents. That’s Denas Yeseul’s side.

However, Heylia, who could not escape ten pursuers, gave up her jewelry and chose her escape. Since she let go of her dagul with 10 people, even Heylia would have no solution. Then she convinces her that Heylia was eating bread at the bakery early in the morning when she was there.

“That… So who were those ten people?”

“There were all the top and second seats in each class. Princess Lerisha, Rin and Ren, and that… There were 10 people who even received the title of Wandering Swordsman.”

“I see…” “

Nishia said that and drank her coffee, then sticking out her tongue in pain as if she couldn’t stand the bitter taste of her.

Part 1, Act 6 Laughter Syndrome, I made it into something that wouldn’t happen. Because there was no special reason in that case. However, Part 1, Act 7, Denas Yeseul is different. It is an important event that allows you to prepare for the second part by acquiring a huge amount of experience and items.

That’s right Part 1, Act 7, Denas Yeseul is actually the final boss of part 1, and the remaining 6 parts are build-up episodes and daily life parts.

The fact that Heylia, the woman in the mask, has failed means that the incident in Act 7 will not happen.

If that happens, will Rin Len, who has not been able to pack up her experience points, survive the vortex of part 2 and will she be strong enough to put an end to the Blood family? No, let’s think good. If Denas Yeseul’s side disappears, it means that she will be able to afford that much, so she will take care of herself.

When she is nodding her head thinking about that, she cuts the bread Nishia was eating and hands it to me.

“Woros senior, what are you worried about? Your expression is serious. Have a bite of sweet bread first.”

“… Thanks.”

I took the bread Nicia gave me and ate it. As the sweetness spread in my mouth, I felt as if my bitter concerns were neutralized by the sweetness.

“Isn’t it delicious?”

“Yes.”

When I affirmed, Nishia clapped her hands and liked it.

*

It wasn’t that Shaiza was called the great sage from the beginning.

Shaiza, who lost his family to a monster attack, embarks on a journey with only the thought that there should be no victims like himself.

One day he subdued monsters and bandits, and sometimes competed with adventurers. He has participated in wars, and he has solved a request that is said to never come back alive. It was when Shaiza just turned 200 years old.

This time, we find a village in the snow-covered mountains. Shaiza stopped by the village and received a warm welcome. But it was strange because everyone in the village was so young. Shaiza hears unbelievable stories.

Everyone who lives in this town is born under a curse. I mean, you can’t get past the age of 30. Shaiza’s heart ached so much, but he had no way to save them. Shaiza, who held on to his aching heart and went on the road again, felt ominous and went back to the village.

The village was attacked by monsters, and more than half of the people were sacrificed. Shaiza appeared and subdued the monsters somehow, but the damage was too great. A boy who threw himself into this terrible situation and fought for the villagers begged Shaiza to do it.

When the safety of the village is secured, Shayza will go looking for you. Then he asked me to take him on the road trip too. He said he would somehow find a way to break the curse on the village, and Shaiza agreed. Shaiza robbed her of her wealth, strengthened the defenses of her village, and took the boy on a journey.

Thanks to Shai Ja’s ancient magic, the boy was able to live past the age of 30. But the magic lasted only when she was near Shaiza. Conversely, as long as he sticks to it, he won’t die even if he’s over 100 years old.

After that, the boy became strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the hero Melgard, who cut off the head of the demon king. It is said that the world cried on the day he died so absurdly.

He earnestly begs Shaiza before dying.

I want you to save your clan.

Those words made Shaiza lock herself in her lab and made her feel the greatest despair of her life. Did Shaiza know? The more he hurts himself, the more he falls into despair. He said that the soul of his beloved disciple, who was unable to ascend to heaven and was floating in this world, would become increasingly evil.

In fact, from the curse on the village where Shaiza’s favorite disciple was born, to his death. And even the work of Shaiza, who suffers from not being able to fulfill her disciple’s wishes. It was all designed by one devil.

That demon. Because he lost everything to Shayza in a mission that he was never considered to survive, he vowed revenge for a long time. The devil who succeeded in revenge closed his eyes in satisfaction, and woke up again after a long time.

The devil woke up after sleeping for a little over 300 years and was surprised. It was because at a place called Founded by Shaiza and two of her students, students who inherited her beliefs were being produced.

At the same time as the anger soared, the academy revitalized the demon. Yes, he was revived, but his nemesis, Shayza, too. Neither Arisha nor Melgard, her pupils, exist in this world, do they?

But, the devil judged, if their legacy remained, it meant there was something to enjoy.

The fact that the hated Shayza is remembered with great respect, called the Great Sage, made me feel so uncomfortable. Whenever I feel such discomfort, I worry about how to kill the academy students and send them as gifts to Shaiza who has gone to the underworld.

That demon. Having lost most of his powers, he promised to grant a student’s wish, and decided to live as a parasite on that student. Only then will he be able to regain his power while plotting a collapse within the academy. Is it so… The demon changed form into an evil spirit and parasitized a girl…

“Why did you write so cringe? Was it necessary?”

ㅡ『If it makes you uncomfortable, don’t read it.』

“Haa, the magic item was finally stolen, what should I do? That guy named Ren… Even if she wasn’t the only one… I’ll have to give it a go next time.”

ㅡ『In fact, I found an interesting fact about that matter.』

At the evil spirit’s words, Heylia, the masked woman, tilted her head.

—-『The probability of failure is quite high, but there was a harvest obtained because the Were lost. First of all, I have to use the student I watched with interest. No, even if she didn’t lose that item, she was an excellent lumberjack enough to use that student.]

“Didn’t I say that stability is important? If there is a chance of failure, isn’t it right not to do it?”

—-『Before the Was taken away, I struggled to extract even a little bit of the power of that thing. Then I found out something unexpected. A secret I would never have known if it hadn’t been stolen. I don’t know if it will work out, but if it goes well, it will be a lot of fun. It means that it is worth walking even if the stability is poor.”

At the words of the evil spirit, Heylia tilted her head. I didn’t even know about the stolen item anyway, so I didn’t care. Her only concern was that she was a student whom the evil spirits were interested in.

She said there were only a handful of students who participated in today’s title conferment ceremony. That’s because only the students who will be awarded the titles of each grade, those who have already been awarded the titles, and some interrupters attended.

She was Heylia, immersed in her thoughts, recalling the incident, but no matter how much she thought about it, it was not easy for her to figure out who the evil spirits were interested in.
