The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

It was when I caught up with Har Hammer, who had stopped in front of the door.

A familiar high-pitched squeal came leaking out from somewhere.

"What is that? Is that Sailuke's cry?"

"Hmm. Here, you can hear the noise from outside through the air hole. Is that voice the alchemist of Rust?

No, it's the dragon I signed up with. I'm just curious, I'm going back!

I start running in the opposite direction toward the entrance, the way I just came.

"What! Dragons! Rust, you used primordial magic."

Now Halhammer comes after me. He looks terribly excited.

─ ─ Come to think of it, Master Halhammer's life's work is the transition from primordial magic to alchemy.

"It was Seyruk who used primordial magic, though..."

I'm running out of breath from all the running and talking. I take a quick drink of a stamina potion that I sneak out and see a ladder to the ground.

"A Sailor Lake! I'd love to study that one."

Dissection is forbidden.

As I climb the ladder, I look down and keep an eye on Hulhammer.

I can see that Taura and Roa are also following me.

"Hey! I don't do tactful things like that! So, how far do you want to go?"

Haruhammer asked back.

I was at a loss for an answer for a moment, so I answered in a safe manner.

"Up to the point where Seyruk himself gave me permission to go!

"Ha, ha. That's what I'm talking about! You can even judge the merits of tests performed by alchemists! You're that intelligent! This is finally going to be fun!"

High-tension har-hammer.

As one who seeks the truth that lies in the depths of the abyss, I can't help but understand his excitement.

I would feel the same way if I were confronted with an entity that could greatly advance my research.

No, no. If it were similar, I would not feel at ease. I have to make sure that Sailor Cooke is safe. You call other people research idiots, but you yourself are a .......

I climb the ladder with renewed determination.

The sunlight shines brightly on the ground.

"Sailuke!"

As if in response to my cries, a high-pitched squeal echoes from above.

I look up to see Sailuke and something with wings fighting fiercely in the air.
