Episode 1 Prologue
“My Master, please don’t go, my Master!”
“Hey! You said you’d wait until I became the best cook! You promised!”
“Don’t leave us … Please …”
“… This is the difference in lifespan between humans and elves. We can’t do anything about it. I think it’s obviously faster than normal humans, though..”
“Lord …, please be reborn. At that time, I will serve you again.”
“I’m waiting! I’ll make the world know your name when my brother comes back to life!”
I can hear a lot of voices around the bed where I lie in the state of quickly falling consciousness.
Oh, I’m gonna die soon.
I can understand it myself.
Will I be reborn?
The legendary magic “Reincarnation Magic” that I reached just before my death.
With a little wish, I cast the magic I devised on myself, who is dying.
To be honest, there is no success rate.
But there is no way for me to cling to life anymore besides this.
Besides, these guys can live without me.
No, maybe I wasn’t needed from the beginning.
It’s okay if you marry another elf properly and live happily for the rest of your life.
“You don’t need me anymore … You are free from now on, live the way you want to live … But if I come back … then kindly welcome me … “
Apparently my time has already arrived.
Forcing the last of my power, opening my eyes and looking at the elves.
Yes, that was 20 years ago.
The daily life of me and the elves began.
*******
Highhorn Kingdom.
It is a very magical country, bordering the demon kingdom in the north and the elf country where the elves live in the west, and I was born and raised in this high horn kingdom.
When I was little, humans and monsters were always fighting at that border, and elves were just watching it, observing.
I still remember living near the border and being young at the time, being scared of monsters day and night.
Meanwhile, magic, swordsmanship, and magic tools on the human side had developed steadily, and more and more people have defeated monsters in various forms such as the armed forces and adventurers, and humans have gradually surpassed monsters. ..
Eventually, monsters very parts became money and were treated as a stepping stone to become one with honor.
And finally the Demon King at that time.
The Demon King attacked the elf village, when I was 12 years old.
I don’t know what happened, but the elf nation that was attacked broke down very easily, and in a little over a year the nation was destroyed. There are rumors that there was one kingdom that actually supported it.
In this way, the elf country collapsed, and monsters began to infest the west, but the relationship between humans and monsters did not change much after that.
Demon attack to eat people, and people fight for money and honor.
That’s the relationship.
The only thing is that the value of the elf has changed.
There were a few survivors in the elf nation that collapsed after being attacked by the demons.
But sadly they didn’t have human rights.
The elves found by monsters were eaten up without leaving their bodies, and the elves found by humans were sold to slave companies.
Originally, elf’s original ability far surpasses humans and monsters and demons alike.
It is said that the reason for the collapse was that they did not know the development of other countries because they were not involved in the surroundings, and that they were proud of not having to attack.
Also, the elves were very beautiful, regardless of gender.
Therefore, in the black market held in the shadows of the kingdom, many elves were sold at a dazzlingly high price, and they were forced to live a horrifying life.
They didn’t have the right to refuse anyway.
Meanwhile, Ficelle, myself, turned 25 without knowing that the elves were being sold right under my nose.
My ignorance was horrifying, and I didn’t know that such a sad thing was happening underground, so I was light and skipped.
But not knowing that it can’t be helped to rejoice. It had just been recognized by the kingdom.
The complete recovery medicine I made.
“I did it, I finally did it … I’m also very rich!”
The recovery medicine I showed the king earlier on the right, and the letter of patent on the left.
While thinking that this is a very lucky moment, I skipped and ran along the way to my house.
Maybe the meaning is different, and it takes 3 days from here to the house even if you use a carriage, so it’s only a matter of time before you stop the skipping.
After graduating from high school, I learned about potions on my own without going on to university, and it took me seven years to complete it. That is this complete recovery drug.
Originally living near the border, I had been threatened by monsters every day, and in fact my dad fought against monsters to protect his family and died.
But originally my father was supposed to be alive.
If you have money at home and can buy recovery medicine, or if we can make it then you can live.
But the reality isn’t that sweet, and a week after fighting the monsters, Dad died.
I didn’t even have the money to attend a prestigious school in the royal capital, so I spent three years in junior high school at a local junior high school, and continued to study by myself at home. I did it and was good at it.
Of course, as a scholarship student.
After leaving the house, I entered the dormitory and spent all three years studying.
What I’d gained over those last three years was some friends, a lot of knowledge, and my own hypotheses.
What I lost was physical ability.
Only the sword technique class was terrible, but let’s leave that for the time being.
Based on the hypothesis that I arrived at in those three years, I returned to my hometown and devoted myself to my research without going to university.
It was possible because I had a lot of money because I succeeded in making various products such as intermediate recovery medicine and various magic tools in making a complete recovery medicine.
Thanks to it, I was able to be filial to my mother who lived only in poverty.
Seven years later, I finally succeeded in making a complete recovery drug, and returned to the royal capital to sell it.
Of course, this complete recovery drug can only be made by me, and it is not something that can be made just because I taught you how to make it. Besides, it takes a lot of money and time to make this one.
So I decided to dilute this full recovery medicine with water many times and sell it to the kingdom.
The King kindly agreed, and if you dilute it in water, you can make a lot from one, and thanks to that, I’m going to get a ton of gold.
In other words, I can be very rich.
The only regret is that my mother fell ill and died in less than a year.
One year earlier …
I was standing up and stopped, remembering my father and mother.
“Well, after all, the people who wanted to protect the most will not come back. Well, what should I do? For the time being, there is an amount that I can live for a lifetime with just that diluted potion fee …”
That said, I look at the documents that were given to me earlier.
It’s the amount you see for the first time in your life.
It can be said that this country was not blessed with recovery medicine.
Well that would be the case. Even that recovery medicine diluted in water can be healed in an instant if its a simple scratch .
“For the time being, I wonder if I’ll be in the royal capital for a few days.”
It was when I was about to head to the inn I had just taken.
“Oh, this is Ficelle. Thank you for signing with me this time.”
Honestly the man scary with a strong bodyguard behind him.
… I’m sure this person was the merchant who contracted to sell my potion in the castle.
He seems to be a very famous merchant in the kingdom and has a good reputation.
Certainly, I think there is a rough atmosphere.
And I will get a lot of money from this person in the future.
“No, even if a young man like me sells recovery medicine, I’m just suspicious, so I’m happy to sign a contract with you.”
“I’m glad if you say that. I’ll leave the rest to you. That’s it, but are you free after this?”
“Yes, I’ll go back to the inn and take a rest.”
“Why don’t you go underground with me?”
“Underground? What’s in the basement?”
“Oh, don’t you know Ficelle? Do you not know of the Underground.”
···underground? Is it under this road?
I’m not sure, but it seems better to go. There may be some etiquette that you should know.
“I understand. I will follow you.”
So I decided to keep up with this seemingly good man.
Without knowing what is going on there.
