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

I was getting ready in my tent to change into my formal attire.

I had safely delivered the meteoric iron to Kalin and told her about the preliminary inspection of the possible site of the new capital.

I also introduced her to Halhammer.

Halhammer is located next to the most promising candidate for the new capital.

Apparently, Halhammer had started to hide and live in the basement of the Admiralty after he was kicked out of his old place and before Kalin received the Admiralty as her territory.

It seems that he was enjoying his slow life and researching alone in the midst of the monster infestation. He said with a big smile that it was much easier than worrying about human relations.

I had always thought he was a maverick, but when I first heard this story, even I was stunned.

For some reason, Roa and Taura, who were present at the meeting, looked at both Halhammer and me, stunned, as if such recklessness was normal for an alchemist.

I had no intention of doing anything as outlandish as Halhammer.

Halhammer is probably in the middle of a long talk with Karin about the future. He was offering his knowledge and skills in exchange for the right of first domestication.

Remembering this, I took out my formal wear. They are a little wrinkled from being folded at random.

"Ah, I know the city's nomenclature is important, but I wish I could have studied it. I'm still in the process of analyzing the status of Sailor Lake, and I wanted to see if I could apply a multi-layered magic circle to improve the stability of the scrolls of the "Combination"..."

I spread the clothes on the ivy that Rose had put up.

It's a pain in the ass to put it on. First, I'll get rid of the wrinkles.

Kareen has nailed me to dress like a master alchemist, so I have no choice but to do so. I take out a scroll and unfold it.

I'm very glad that I had the time on my way home to put back the restrictions that the scrolls had released.

I tug at the hem of my dress and activate it with the wrinkles straightened out.

"Hold fast."

When you let go of your hand, the stretched out part of the dress is still fixed in place.

In the same way, I take out the wrinkles of the whole ceremonial dress in a circle.

"Well, that's about right."

I put on my formal wear, taking a little trouble to put it on after a long time.

Rose followed me appropriately with her ivy, and I managed to put it all on without a hitch. A voice comes from outside the tent.

"Rust? Are you all right? It's time to go," said Ary, who had come to call us.

"It's almost time!"

I hastily fasten the medals I have received so far to my uniform. Finally, I put the medallion around my neck and hurried out of the tent.
