It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

24. Hi, Ichimaru-kun.

Bubble—!

A decoction that boils in the heat.

As I watched the purple liquid in the cauldron carefully, I threw each ingredient into the decoction in succession according to the golden ratio formula in my head.

Pusik! Parsik!

Every time I put something in, the cauldron’s decoction showed a violent chemical reaction, and I poured everything with the conviction that I had reached near completion.

Kurlureureung!

The moment the cauldron vibrated as if lightning had struck it, I realized it while looking at the dark red liquid inside.

“Oh my God!”

This wasn’t medicine, it was poison.

Instead of saving the heroine’s parents, the poison that will make her board the express train to the underworld.

It is a poison so strong that if you pour it on a dying Imoogi, it may cause sudden death.

“Looks like I had the talent of a top-class assassin. To inadvertently create something like this.”

Since it was such a dangerous talent, I hesitated while trying to dispose of it as it was.

Hmm, if I feed Kenichi a little bit of this, won’t his poison resistance increase?

Thinking of that, I suddenly felt like it was a waste to throw it away.

“I should keep it as a present for Kenichi.”

Is there any other friend who thinks of him like me?

With pride, I set aside the poison for my dear friend Kenichi.

Then he continued to attempt to forge an antidote.

“Should I increase the ratio of Youngcho a little bit?”

Kurlureureung─!

Exploded.

“Hmm, or the mana power is gurgling at all…… “

Quaaang!

It exploded violently.

I didn’t think that I wouldn’t have talents in alchemy or pharmacy.

Originally, failure is the mother of success……

Quang! Quaang! Quaang!

Explodes like that, explodes again, how many failures have you had?

“──Eureka!”

I finally completed it in a charred laboratory, as if hundreds of blades had fallen.

“If this is it!”

Finally, a non-explosive result was obtained.

Well, I don’t know how effective it is yet, but if you feed it to someone, something will come out.

I smiled happily and stuffed the bubbling black antidote into my chest.

***

Morning chirping and sparrows chirping.

A little away from the center of Tokyo, this mansion looks like a Western aristocrat’s residence.

It is a true nobleman’s mansion with a beautiful garden and busy servants, but the owner of the mansion, the young lady, was not satisfied.

It wasn’t that we didn’t have enough cute toys and dolls, nor that we needed snacks.

“Yes, Melissa. How are the results?”

It was because Young lady’s parents, who had been buying such things, couldn’t wake up from the sick bed at some point.

Even though they were located far away from her, in England, the capital of magic.

For longevity and new treatment methods.

Today was the day to hear the results, and the strength of the girl’s grip on the handset quickly loosened.

“…… Yeah, it’s no use. No, I’m just grateful that my condition doesn’t get worse.”

Actually, I don’t thank you at all, but Eris Betelgeuse forced a wry smile and said.

“Yes, please continue to take good care of me.”

Similarly, he wrapped up his sincerity with a kind voice and way of speaking toward his opponent who was struggling.

Doo-wook, clap.

The call ended soon after, and Eris put the receiver back in place and took a deep breath.

“…… Ha.”

Eris thought with her eyes tightly closed.

How long does she have to ask someone else?

She would be more at ease if she could fly to England and be with them.

─It is the presence of the stars, do not leave it.

If it hadn’t been for the damn teacher telling me never to leave Japan, I would have flown away long ago.

If she had been an old woman who could be treated as a patient with dementia, she would have been a little suspicious.

…… What did he say A fateful meeting, an incident will come, so don’t leave that place?

“Haa, when is that coming?”

It’s not an oracle with no promise, it’s the damned fate, the damned teacher, the damned curse…….

They all want to be beaten, but of all her dogs, Eris hated curses the most.

A damn curse that took her parents, who used to live harmoniously together, far away.

…… If you wake up in the morning, maybe there will be bad news.

Because I was afraid to open my eyes every day…….

Eris Betelgeuse went beyond closing her eyes and frowned, then suddenly brushed her face down and she forced the corners of her mouth up.

“Hey, let’s go.”

Recently, school was also difficult because of the madman named ‘Ichimaru Shiki’, but it was still worth going.

From his unique way of speaking to his facial expressions, he has absolutely nothing to like.

Like his sly appearance, he knew a lot in the strange part.

‘…… It was also strangely strong.’

Eris suddenly shuddered when she remembered her fight with the guy the other day.

She was something unknown in many ways.

She is a wizard, but she can’t stand still as she seeks the truth.

“…… I must check it out today.”

As much as she couldn’t ask yesterday, she planned to ask every detail today.

The identity of the guy, the source of his abilities, and how to know what will happen in the future.

I found out through her personal connections, but no one knew the details of the chaos in Tokyo, Japan.

But how did he know? Ichimaru Shiki is definitely a guy with something.

Okay, I was thinking of asking everything today!

Eris, who moved her short legs vigorously and vigorously, eventually reached the classroom of Class 1 A.

“Ahahahaha! What a good morning!”

“… ….”

As usual, looking at her sloppy man, Eris Betelgeuse naturally frowned, but Eris Betelgeuse tried to exercise her patience and approached him.

“Hey.”

“Whoa whoop! Miss Eris, why are you calling me?!”

“…… Ugh.”

For some reason, Shiki Ichimaru showed off a more sinister smile today.

As if she had been waiting for her to talk to her, she also responded quickly.

It felt like having a conversation right now in this place would take a toll on my mind.

Eris glanced away from Shiki, who was smiling brightly, and said with a frown on her face.

“…… You, come behind the teacher after school!”

“Ha ha ha! I will do as you command!”

“… ….”

She was Eris who wanted to return home again.

***

“Whoops, this is a good thing.”

Eris Betelgeuse approached and talked to you first, so it seemed like he had a good impression of you.

As expected, a sincere heart transcends all restrictions and is directly transmitted to the soul.

‘Now, just give me the elixir and it will be perfect.’

I hope you don’t fall for me.

I didn’t do any clinical trials, but since I, a genius, made it, it must have worked.

When should I give you the antidote? Should I deliberately put the medicine on it and give it right around the time I get angry?

School class ended soon after I spent time thinking about such useless delusions.

“Shiki, are you going home right away?”

“Fufufu, Kenichi. I’ve already rested for two days, so shouldn’t I practice today?”

“…… Ugh.”

The day before yesterday was vacation, and last night I couldn’t play with Kenichi because I was preparing an antidote.

So I must make time today.

After spending some time with Eris, it was the moment when I decided to play with Kenichi.

“…… Yes?”

I was wondering if there was something in the shoe cabinet, but a white letter came out.

“Oh, isn’t that a love letter?”

“…… No way.”

Hotaru, who saw that, shouted in delight, and Sento and Kenichi shook their heads as if it was nonsense.

“Hmm.”

I was offended by those who vehemently denied it even though I wasn’t the person involved, but in fact, I also thought it couldn’t have been a love letter implicitly.

To be honest, I wondered who would send a love letter to a guy with this kind of tone.

I guess I just intuitively noticed.

[ Please come to the back of Building A after school today. ]

“Whoops, it must have been Miss Eris! There was no need to even leave a letter!”

Even though I shouted that, I was slightly disappointed.

“…… What was it, a duel?”

Looking at Eris’ attitude these days, Hotaru, who knew how our relationship felt, felt like she had abandoned her expectations.

“Fortunately, there were no casualties.”

Kenichi shook his head with a proud expression as if it was natural.

Hmm, maybe someday I really need to develop my poison resistance.

I made a firm resolution in my heart and told them with a wide smile.

“Then I’ll be back for a while!”

***

Shall we stop time immediately and make Mechakucha?

Or should I hand over the elixir?

I rushed to the place written in the letter, excited about which option to choose, but there was no blonde boy, Eris Betelgeuse.

There was only a female student waiting for me restlessly at the back of Building A.

She had her eyes on the floor, but she must have noticed my presence. Suddenly, she raised her head and said with a bashful smile.

“…… Ah, hello, Ichimaru-kun.”

First of all, Eris Betelgeuse, a cheeky kid, didn’t know how to use such a shy tone.

Girl A, Sawako, who saved her from falling down the stairs on her first day of high school.

Sawako, who had completely stolen her previous contract with Eris, looked up at me with her pouty eyes and said shyly.

“Could you give me a moment?”
