273 10-18 Rest at Ains Hale Second Alchemy Department

King Metropolitan Elsewhere Academy.

The building is old and you can feel the history of the school.

It is said that the school gathers children of nobles from all over the country, and the common people, who are recognized for their talents at a young age, also gather to aim for a higher level in a better educational environment, and it is a school with a tradition and history as a place for training the elite.

It is said that the children of nobles who belong to the Nobility Department are all the eldest sons and daughters who will inherit the next generation's knighthood, with the second largest number of students in the knightly department, magic and adventure department, and the other departments such as alchemy and commerce, which are all small in number.

I've been told that the aristocracy department is a separate building where classes are held and meals are eaten while learning the etiquette of the department, so I basically don't have any involvement in it.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I'll be teaching the alchemy skills to everyone in the 'second alchemy department' in place of Eliodarte, as you may have heard, it's Oshinomiya Kazuki (Shinomiya Itsuki).

I want to go into what is the second, but first of all, what is this classroom?

There are about 10 students, and there are only girls.....

Moreover, all of them probably have an atmosphere that their families are aristocrats.

Well, it doesn't seem to matter if you are an aristocrat or a commoner in this school.

It seems to be forbidden to take advantage of your position as an aristocrat when you pass through the gates, or to take out any of the disputes that occurred at the academy.

This is the rule that this academy has had since its inception, and that is the only thing that even a king, let alone a royal family, can't change.

It is said that when the imperial academy was made aristocrat-centered, the shortage of human resources became significant, so they don't want to make the same mistake.

Well, I guess they weren't stupid enough to make the same mistake when there were examples of failure right around the corner.

'Oh well. I'm sorry to say that you were expecting Eliodarte to show up, but it's nice to see you.

When I finish, I get a big round of applause.

Apparently, it's not the unwelcome mood I was worried about.

........Rather, is it my arrogance that I feel rather welcomed?

Sen-Se. Don't be so tough on yourself. Just relax.

'Yes, yes. It's too good that Eliodarte-sama is here, and it's too good for us. It's a shame that I had to take time out of your busy schedule.

Two of the students are cute, though appropriate for their age, speaking in an interminable voice.

Twins......right?

Well, the list of names is ... oh, here it is.

The first person I talked to was my sister, Laz Belsen, with tits.

The second one is the little titty girl, Clan Belsen.

The youngest is the daughter of the Marquess of Belsen.

Marquesses are quite high in status, aren't they?

That's what I think was above Hayato and the Countess of Eliodarte.......

Two people who would never seem to be involved in each other's lives if they didn't come here are talking to me in a friendly manner, sitting next to each other in the front seat, huddled close together as if they were close friends, emitting a youthful aura with a synergistic effect.

The other students seemed to be thinking the same thing, nodding in agreement, and it doesn't seem that they were bothered by it.

I see........I heard that you were unmotivated, but isn't it visible that you are sullen or wavering?

I was worried that you might abandon the class or something, but that seems to be okay.

'Really?　Then I guess I'll take you up on your offer. Yeah, but I'm going to do my job just fine.

Oh. You're so spirited. There are a lot of teachers who are very strict and serious. I thought Sensee was relatively young, so I thought he would understand me.

'Well, that's what being a teacher is all about. However, there may come a day when I'm grateful for that. I'm a temp, and I'll make it easy on you if you want to make it easy on me.

It's about right for us.

Nevertheless, once you've been contracted to do a job, you'll do it well.

It must have been a request to Eliodarte, and if it doesn't produce results, it won't be a thank you.

Now, let's get on with the Q&A session. What you want to ask me. I want you to answer the questions I want to ask you.

What, you're not going to class?　Are you sure?

'Yeah. You don't know what kind of kids you are, and you don't know what kind of guy I am, do you?　I thought it would be more efficient to get a better understanding of each other than to proceed in that situation.

If we talk about it simply, I'm not sure if it's better to extend it by praising it or by tapping it.

Well, I don't think we need the hardship of calling a lecturer from the outside if we can just talk about something that simple.......

'Hmmm, a question. Yes yes yes yes yes!　How old are you in the war?

How old are you?　You're twenty-six years old.

So, do you have a girlfriend?

Oh, it seems there is still a standard.

Yeah. About half a dozen important people.

Wow, that was a lot of seduction.

Six people....wow....

I got a little rusty, and when a student sitting in the back raised his hand and urged him to go in, he stood up with a beautiful aristocratic gesture.

''Is your financial strength okay?''

Hmm?　Well, I'm making money from smelting.

''With alchemy........ Is it still more of an accessory or magical tool than a potion?

'Yeah. Accessories are more of an income stream. But I supply potions to the Adventurer's Guild every time, so it's not just accessories, though.

These days, the potions only sell Mizera's....

Well, if I feel sorry for my disciples for taking my popularity, the married and familiar guys will buy me more.

''How many levels of alchemy are you at, Sensei?　We're all one or two!

Me?　I'm a nine.

'Oh!　I'm 9 at that young age!

'Just plain awesome!　As a matter of fact, I hear you're as good as Master Eliodarte?

'No, no, that was a genuine genius...'

It's just that it's awkward to be equated with that thing.

'I mean, everyone has already learned their alchemy skills.

That's true. It's alchemy department.

Even though it's the second, I can't get in unless I can learn the alchemy skill...

Speaking of which, what's the second...?

Huh?　Didn't you hear anything?

''Yeah. Eriodart just asked me to teach the alchemy department a lesson, that's all.

And, by the way, he asked me to motivate him anyway.

'I see. Do you notice anything when you enter this classroom?

It smelled good.

Smell ... it's not the same, I think, is it?　I mean, don't say something like that because it's embarrassing!

Hmmm ... so it's only a girl then.

Correct. What else?

Are we all noble ladies...?

Good answer. And the answer to that question is...

"...can you live without success in alchemy?

Nice try.

It's a shame.........

''In the meantime, we don't have the right to inherit either, so we have to take care of our own lives by ourselves...''

'But it's more practical to find someone to marry than to get your life in order with alchemy!

'Uh....'

'It's not that I don't like smelting, you know?　But you know, it's not a good idea for a nobleman's daughter to desperately make a living just barely by making potions in a desperate attempt to make a living....

'Uh....'

''So, I was allowed to join the alchemy department in order to enter the school as an appearance, but alchemy means if you have talent, go for it, but if anything, find a good mate here. If you can't find one, my family will find one for you after you graduate. That's what it's supposed to do!

What's with that subtle free state........

It gives the student the right to choose his or her partner while still a student, but it seems to me that there are restrictions attached to it, like it has to be a good partner on top of a deferment, and it's halfway through the process of being free.......

Ah......... So it's not like you want to become an alchemist or anything........ In that case, why did I get called in?

'Hmmm, maybe, but I think they want to call a good alchemist and make sure he can at least graduate! The conditions for graduation are that the alchemy level is 3, or you have to produce results that are worthy of graduation! By the way, I have two more years to go!

'Uh....'

All I can say is ahhh....

Level 3 is excellent and a year, Yersis said........

You've probably done a little bit of this before, and you have two more years of that grace....

He said some of the kids are at 2.......I don't need it after all, do I?

I think it's going to go up if you're doing something normal, right?

"That's why I was sorry to hear that Eliodarte-sama was coming........ Ah, but it doesn't mean it's okay because it's Sense!

'I'm sorry to the Sense, too?　I'm sorry to ask you to play this role........

His voice is prolonged, so it doesn't seem to be serious, but his expression conveys a firm sense of apology.

When I look at the other students and see the same thing, I can't help but think that they're all good kids.......

''Hmmm........''

I wonder what's going on........

In short, they don't have to learn alchemy so desperately........

If they don't want to do it, or don't have to do it, I believe in not doing it, but I don't want to force them to do it.

But it's also awkward to say that I didn't do anything for my own reasons as a thank you.

It's true that it takes a pretty good success rate to earn money from potions.

Even if you partner with an adventurer like Mizella and us to earn medicinal body herbs, you'll need at least a 30% success rate.

However, even 30% is the minimum you can live on, so as a nobleman's daughter, it's a bad idea.......

What about making accessories?

''Hmmm.......I honestly don't think we can make something we can sell....... If it doesn't come with abilities, it won't be priced, and even if we use it ourselves, it's awkward, so it's better to buy it!

Also, it's bad to hurt your fingers! I still get invited to parties and so on, so if I have a burn or a cut on my finger at a social event, it would make my parents feel embarrassed.

''Uh ... I see. I see.....

"Did I get angry at you?　I'm sorry.

If you want to stop it, we'll give you advice so that you don't get worse........ But if you can, I'd like to ask Sense to tell me about it....

No, I'm not mad at you. Um, so do you all have someone to marry already?

Hmmm....it's not like that...

'I wish I could live my life free as it is, but I'm a selfish, pathetic existence that's been blocked from the path to freedom while I'm struggling with a realistic future...'

What's that opinion of a salaried employee who subtly misses the time to change jobs and continues to live for the day........

It's like you want to move to a better place than you are now.......but you're still able to make a living in your current situation......and while you're worrying about it, you can't change your job.... ....

'Don't call yourself selfish and pathetic........ So you want to succeed in alchemy if you can?

I ask, and they all nod their heads in agreement.

'You guys are so close.

'Yes, we are. It would be better if we could, but I think it would be difficult!

''I don't have much talent other than alchemy, and I don't expect to be able to catch up with the first one now - some of the first ones already have a 40% success rate...''

Well, that's for sure....

The first ones are those who are genuinely trying to cultivate alchemy skills and become alchemists, and it will be difficult for them to catch up now.

'I'll give up potion making efficiently........ I have a social circle, so if accessories are no good...''

"Senso?

"Warren?

Normally, I shouldn't neglect the basic potion making........

However, it's not like I'm going to be doing this as an alchemist, so it's a trivial matter.

And accessories, which are the main source of income, are also difficult to find now........well, what do we have?

Oi. Sensei?

'I don't want you to be quiet and I'm afraid to tell you, okay?　I'm going to play a trick on you, okay?

What would sell.........

Preferably something that can only be done by these kids.

Something that has less competition and then has an advantage because it's these girls.........

Girls..........aristocracy.......society.......youth.......hmmm.... ....

Mmmmmm..... Ignoring them is not good!

I could poke you on the cheek and you wouldn't even notice? Whew.

Raz's breath doesn't help either!

I'll give it a try next time.

And you're not dead, are you?

What ... what ... what do you think?

Hmmm........I think I'm going to get something out of this....

Ahhhh it's not clear.

It's like it's stuck in the front of my throat and it doesn't feel right.......hmm?

'　What are you doing?!

Oh, I noticed. Who?　Who's the deciding factor?

What?

The next thing I know, I find myself surrounded by a bunch of girls!

And they're kind of close!

Our faces and hands and bodies are so close!

It smells so good, the good smell of young schoolgirls is so thick.........?

... oh, here it is.

All right. You will listen to what I'm saying. No, wait. I need you to step away from it. I'm not far. You're all too close, okay?　Like a lady?　Huh?

If you ask me as it is, it's as if I'm making a good case for being surrounded by female students.

It's the first day and suddenly such a misunderstanding is very troubling!

It was temporary, but it was a matter of good name for a teacher.

''Sense was fumbling around...''

Just when you think you're spacing out, this is all serious?

'Oh, sorry. But I've got a great idea.

What do you think?

Raz and Clan of the Marquess family who look at my confident face and ask back with a little anticipation.

Furthermore, the eight daughters of the noble families are looking at me in the same way.

I said a good idea that could only be made possible because of these noble girls, or perhaps because they are the only ones who could make it.

"You guys........how about creating a 'brand'?
