52 – Buseok (3)

Ian’s quarters.

Left alone, Danya blinked.

“…?”

She looked blankly down at the elixir in her hand.

Elixirs are precious regardless of their type.

Since one of the sources of income for the Catnesian clan was these elixirs and spiritual objects, Danya was well aware of them.

Even for spiritual things like wild ginseng, the price is sky-high.

But the elixir Ian gave me was different.

Even just holding it in her hand, you can feel the pure spirit of goodness. If you absorb it well, you will definitely be able to achieve great achievements at once.

“Such a precious thing…”

Ian tossed it as if handing her a piece of candy and then disappeared.

She doesn’t even ask for anything she does.

Danya swallowed her saliva.

‘As expected, Ian is just different from humans.’

Beasts are always wary of being tamed by humans.

— Trusting a human is like putting a leash around your own neck and holding that leash directly with your hands on the other person.

Danya Also, she was taught that way from a young age.

Vigilance imprinted on instinct.

It seems to be solved as smoothly as Ian.

“Ah…”

Swipe.

Danya shook her head.

“Ian is a colleague. Let’s not think strangely.”

By the way.

I felt it when I shook my head, but the smell in this room is too irritating to Danya, a prisoner.

Beasts are different from humans whose desires remain uniform.

Danya is particularly weak these days.

The owner’s body odor that fills her room constantly bothers her.

A glance.

Danya’s eyes slid over to Ian’s bed.

Blankets and pillows placed somewhat haphazardly.

“I-I’m trying to sort this out.”

Danya carefully held the ends of the blanket.

That moment when I opened the blanket.

I could feel the air irresistibly.

— Write

“Hmm.”

This is against the rules.

It feels like the inside of my head is slowly melting.

Why is that mean guy Ian always flirting like this on a day like today?

I want to lie down here right now.

… Such thoughts filled her head.

Danya had a hunch.

This is dangerous.

“I have to go out!”

Suffocating her instincts, Danya stormed out the front door.

And then I almost bumped into someone.

“Wow!”

“Nyan!”

A shrill scream.

Blonde and white hair, long hair somewhere in between, and clothes that look like a noble lady who is sensitive to fashion at a glance.

Even the chest that looks a bit small makes the clothes stand out nicely.

A woman of enviable style stood in a huddled position with her hand raised as if about to knock.

‘Why did such a woman come to Ian’s house?’

Danya had such a question.

But it won’t be soon and she shook her head.

That’s right, because there’s no way a woman would come looking for Ian.

“I don’t know who came, but I think I came to the wrong place.”

“Hmm. Isn’t this the home of Cadet Ian Black Angus?”

“… Nyan?”

Danya covered her own mouth that made her strange noise.

The reason for my embarrassment is simple.

‘No, why is this woman in Ian’s house?’

As far as she knows, she has no friends with Ian.

Danya Except for herself.

Actually, the other person thought the same.

‘What the hell is this cat coming out of Mr. Ian’s room?’

Sylvia Laurent muttered to herself.

This morning, Sylvia happened to receive a rare dessert from her old regular.

She’s a bit like eating alone, and she just remembered Ian’s face, who liked tea, so she used that as an excuse to come to Ian’s house.

‘You’ve never eaten anything like this before, have you? I tried to tease you, but…’

Somehow a female cat came out of Ian’s house.

Besides, she acts as if she were a hostess.

I don’t know why, but my stomach was boiling.

‘Could it be that you have a hidden girlfriend?’

Sylvia immediately shook her head.

Ian couldn’t have such a thing.

I’d rather not know if it’s a flower snake.

Sylvia’s eyes narrowed.

“By the way, who are you? As far as I know, Mr. Ian doesn’t have any friends. How does she relate to Mr. Ian?”

“…I’m sorry.”

Danya was speechless.

What is the relationship between Ian and himself?

A friend?

Or between sworn faith in each other?

After mumbling for a moment, Danya opened her mouth.

“It is also a colleague.”

“What does it have to do with a colleague and the kid at home?”

“Because Ian invited me!”

Sylvia’s eyes grew even colder at Danya’s answer.

“You said that Mr. Ian invited you and you followed him? Don’t you know what the rumors about Mr. Ian are?”

“I know! There are a lot of rumors about him being horny! So, do you know what kind of person Ian is?”

“Hah? Of course I know that well? How thoroughly did I investigate! Rumors about perverts confessing when they see a woman are the basic of the basics…”

Let’s exchange bad rumors about Ian like that for a while.

Sylvia hit the ball.

“I don’t know why someone who knows so well would come out of there. Aren’t you a flower snake?”

“Kko, flower snake? That, who are you!”

Sylvia proudly stuck out her chest.

“I’m Sylvia Laurent. You know the Laurent upper house, right?”

“…!”

Danya was a bit surprised.

She was an ass, but she had never heard of Sylvia.

Thanks to that, her doubts deepened even more.

“Why does such a woman come to Ian’s house? What kind of relationship do you have with Ian?”

Confident Sylvia averted her gaze.

It was difficult to define the relationship between Ian and her in one word.

“We are… Partners! Yes, we are partners!”

“Hmm? Looks like a scammer. What’s in that bag?”

“This is because I have a debt to pay back to Mr. Ian. A good item just came in, so I brought it once.”

“You can give it to me at school. Why did you come all the way to my house?”

“Sah, it’s spoiled! Uh, I had no choice but to come here!”

“You tried to use that as an excuse to go inside the room, you? Besides, you just have to ask your subordinates.”

It’s hot.

Sylvia slightly averted her gaze.

Then he muttered in passing.

“Should I say that Mr. Ian has done so much for me that I have to bring it here myself?”

“…?”

“Ian, the deputy owner of the Laurent Merchant Merchant, has helped me with so many things that I can’t easily repay. That’s why I’m paying back little by little.”

Danya is not the quick-witted person.

But Sylvia’s intentions were immediately readable.

That’s her bragging that Ian took care of her a lot.

Danya’s eyebrows raised.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Hey! Ian took care of me a lot too!’

I don’t know why, but she wants to win as much as this woman.

How do I win?

An idea popped into Danya’s head, which had been pondering for a while.

“… Then a dessert like that would be nice, but Ian would prefer a blanket?”

“Yes?”

“Ah~ didn’t you know?”

Looking at Sylvia’s bewildered eyes, Danya smiled like a fox.

“The duvet on Ian’s bed is very worn out. Please change the duvet next time. Then Ian will like it too.”

Sylvia’s trembling eyebrows.

‘Heng! One hundred years too early, human!’

The corner of Danya’s mouth went up.

In the meantime, Christina’s lab.

Cristina exclaimed, looking at the tense Ian had brought while floating.

“I-I must have dropped it a day ago. How the hell did you improve so quickly?!”

“Why are you saying honorifics all of a sudden?”

“I only use honorifics for people smarter than me!”

Give honor only to smart people.

This is a very unique concept.

Christina seemed to belong to the slightly witty type among her researchers.

“The color and physical properties are different from the samples I made. How did you make them? Ah. It would be difficult to just tell you, right?”

Christina’s complexion began to darken uncontrollably.

She seemed to guess that Ian himself would ask her for something of her own.

“If you’ve improved this much, it’s no different than a new one. It’s different from a stone made by a daphnia like me.”

Christina is completely depressed now.

Ian sighed lightly and picked up one of her psalms.

“Can I try one of these?”

“Yes? Yes. It’s a piece of stone made by daphnia anyway. You can use as much as you like.”

“Don’t make any strange noises. Take a good look.”

Ian immediately rolled up his sleeves and sat down at the workbench.

First, I took off a thin piece of stone.

And we extracted some metal components from the surroundings.

‘This is probably the difference between what this guy made and the piece of stone that was placed in my room.’

While she was experimenting with the mobile device, Ian used various metal components. As a result, it is possible that the fragment that Christina dropped was deformed.

I focused on that and utilized my extraction and transformation skills.

Christina’s eyes widen as she watches from her side.

“No, that’s ridiculous. What kind of ability is that? To be able to handle metal so freely.”

“Shh.”

“Huh!”

What we are dealing with now are high-grade materials.

You have to concentrate to extract a trace amount and use it.

After processing the tense.

“… Done.”

As Ian let out a sigh, Cristina, who had been covering her mouth, lit up her eyes.

“No, that’s ridiculous. Such perfect abilities. Ian was born for alchemy. You have to do alchemy! Come with me!”

“Shouldn’t we check this instead?”

Ian held out ten types of stone fragments.

Tenses with different ratios reflecting the situation of the dorm at the time.

“Yes, yes!”

Christina carefully placed them on the lab table as if she were handling her jewelry.

The eyes, which looked like rotten motion, shine infinitely blue at that moment.

I suddenly remembered who she was as she saw each and every one of her serious and delicate appearances.

Chris Sierra.

A genius alchemist who will become famous as the story progresses.

Her Information about her came late for two reasons.

Because one knew it as Chris and not Christina.

The other is that there was no floating stone like this among the results of her research.

‘Perhaps it failed to launch completely.’

On the other hand.

The tense Ian touched was perfectly floating in the air.

“!!!”

Her eyes stained with astonishment.

Three out of 10 were floating in the air, and one of them was almost completely suspended in the air.

“Float, float… Float.”

“Yes, it’s up.”

“Ahahahaha… It’s up. It’s really up…”

To be honest, Ian thought Cristina would be a little more pleased.

She said that touching her tense directly in front of her was practically the same as giving her recipe.

But her expression was quite complicated.

Sometimes you like it, then you get sullen.

Then she carefully asked a question.

“Do you mind if I ask you something?”

“Yes.”

“Why did you tell me this? If it was this complete, you could have threatened me with the recipe.”

It might be natural for her to lose her self-esteem if someone she doesn’t know solves the field she’s been researching thousands of times to improve.

She might as well use this opportunity to steal her recipe from her, as she said.

‘That’s not true.’

Ian shook her head.

“I’m interested in using this forever. You’ll be interested in making a better floating stone.”

Above all, this ‘floating stone’ has a different character from general minerals. Depending on the research, there is room for improvement in performance.

And Ian plans to use this floating stone to develop his mobility.

In other words, Christina is a magic engineer who can upgrade her abilities.

If you can command a legendary magic engineer, a recipe you stumble upon is nothing.

Ian believes in her skills.

The failure to develop a floating stone was just something that was needed.

Thus, Ian thought to be an opportunity for her.

“So let’s work together. I’ll help you with anything you need.”

“…Yes.”

Tears welled up in Christina’s eyes.

“I will work hard.”

The first stage of rating measurement is now just a day away.

Her support is sure to be of great help.

Ian held out her hand, and Cristina took it with both of her hands.
