Chapter 6

"The target drug is a mixture of Geal fatigue recovery medicine and Samimia activation agents. I don't know which alchemist did this, but it's a truly foolish concoction."

"Someone who does such a thing isn't an alchemist."

Setting up the alchemy pot taken from the storage on the floor, I think for a moment.

It's only natural that acute poisoning symptoms would occur; this is a near-worst combination to ingest.

Moreover, to synthesize it into a single magic potion and administer it is tantamount to poisoning.

"Hey... Vaiken. Is it okay? About the corruption..."

"You're lucky. The fact that I'm here now means there's nothing to worry about."

While throwing some of the materials recovered from the old laboratory into the alchemy pot, I smile at Fio.

Alchemy is a technique that blends the future and dreams. And I am the alchemist who wields it.

There's no problem.

This level of misfortune can be easily reversed with my alchemy.

I will show you that it can be reversed.

"Zosimos, I'll entrust the control of the alchemy pot to you. ...It's been a while, hasn't it, this feeling?"

"Your roughness as a fairy user hasn't changed, though."

Zosimos, while complaining, starts to stir the contents of the alchemy pot.

Focusing my magic power and will on the alchemy pot, which glows dully and swirls, I gradually concentrate.

The quality and preservation state of the materials are excellent.

The alchemy pot is also operating without any issues.

As long as my skills, which have been reborn, haven't declined, there should be no problem.

"–Alright, it's complete."

A brilliant light leaks from the alchemy pot, and as it converges, a single vial of medicine appears.

Seeing the pale pink liquid in the vial, I nod.

It should be a high-quality and effective potion.

"The potion name is [Alnea's Spirit Medicine]. It slows and heals the progression of activation agent poisoning, dissolves and regenerates corrupted tissues in the body. ...Well done, Master. Should we start administering it to the subject?"

"Please do. You can administer it faster than orally, right?"

"Leave it to me."

Zosimos rotates and turns the [Alnea's Spirit Medicine] into pale pink particles.

These particles are absorbed into the body of the man who is sleeping with shallow breaths.

Zosimos is directly injecting the [Alnea's Spirit Medicine] into the corrupted areas.

The man, who seems to be responding appropriately to the magic potion, gradually becomes more relaxed in his breathing and expression, and the pungent odor in the room also fades.

"The treatment is complete."

"Good job."

In response to my words, Zosimos rotates.

Supporting the alchemist and maximizing the effectiveness of their creations.

That is what a [Support Artificial Fairy] is.

"It's okay now, Fio."

"..."

I turn and call out, but the girl is frozen in place.

"Hello?"

"..., ah, I'm sorry. I was startled."

"That's rude. But your father is fine now. I think it's best to observe him for 2-3 days."

The [Alnea's Spirit Medicine] I created should normalize his body in a few hours, but this kind of magic potion uses physical strength and nutrition.

It's natural that it regenerates the corrupted parts in a short time to prevent functional failure.

"So, I have a request... Can I stay here for a while? I want to monitor your father's condition."

"Master, shouldn't you first ensure my silence?"

"That's true. Keep this quiet."

"Isn't that a bit too casual a request?"

It's odd to try to keep something quiet with a young girl using such complicated words.

This is fine, this is fine.

"Uu... Thank you so much. I didn't think I'd be helped like this."

"As an alchemist, it's just what I should do. There's no need to worry."

Fio, whose tension seems to have eased, sheds tears and trembles.

Well, we're not alchemists, but such a scene must have been terrifying for her.

"...What about the payment? How much should I pay?"

"Huh? Didn't I say it was free?"

Glancing at Zosimos, he rotates and answers.

"Yes, you did say it was free. It sounded almost like a fraudulent offer."

"One too many words. Why are you always like that?"

"Perhaps it's because the creator had a bad personality?"

Grrr...!

Indeed, I did create him that way!

"Hehe."

Fio, who smiles slightly at our interaction, bows her head slightly.

"Thank you, Vaiken. I'll prepare the best room for you. Of course, it's free."

"A bed and meals are enough. And I'll pay for the accommodation."

"No. I can't rest until I repay my benefactor."

She looks at me stubbornly and smiles again.

"Can I repay you? Vaiken. My father's life is a great debt."

"Master, accept the offer. You need adequate rest."

"...Hmm. Alright. Thank you."

Nodding, Fio turns and faces away.

"Wait here for a while. I'll prepare the room."

"Alright. I'll watch over your father."

"Please do."

Watching the girl run out of the door, I let out a small sigh.

In truth, I was a bit nervous.

When I took out the alchemy pot, I was worried that my skills might have dulled after being reborn after five hundred years of sleep.

In reality, I was able to wield the power of alchemy as I did before... but still, it was only after confirming that the situation had improved that I could finally relax.

"Good work, Master."

"How was my alchemy?"

"Annoyingly, it was perfect. However, there were some issues."

The artificial fairy rotates and projects an image in the air.

"Your status is somewhat different from before. Physically, you have rejuvenated and improved, and you are in good health. However, your magic power, reason power, and mental mutation tolerance have decreased compared to before."

"In other words?"

"You need to be cautious about the number of alchemy sessions you perform in a day and high-difficulty alchemy."

I see.

So, by rejuvenating, I've really returned to 'that time'.

Well, I did say I was starting over... but I didn't expect it to be from here.

I'll enjoy it, including this.

Thank you all for your support ('ω')!

I've been pushed by your support and am writing diligently.

[Term Explanations]

- Foolish concoction... There are combinations of magic potions that should not be mixed. Mixing them is dangerous.

- Appearing vial... Alchemy trivia. During synthesis, the container can appear along with the potion. This is because the concept of synthesis includes the container as part of the creation. Of course, you can also make the potion appear and then fill it into a container, or synthesize a shelf with multiple vials.

- [Alnea's Spirit Medicine]... A popular magic potion that alleviates poisoning. It is a neutralizing agent. Generally, various additional effects are added to it to perform symptomatic treatment. This time, the main effect added was the treatment of internal corruption.

- Magic power and reason power... Both are physical elements necessary for alchemy. They are similar to physical strength and endurance in terms of physical function. Alchemy and magic use them up, and if overused, they can cause fainting. Like physical abilities, they can be trained through alchemy and magic.

- Mental mutation tolerance... This is similar to SAN value. Alchemists, who deal with the effects and transformations of concepts, often face 'reality that deviates from reality'. Therefore, they are more prone to accidents that lead to madness, and this value quantifies how much of such deviations they can tolerate, based on an average.
