Disciple of Immortal

The morning after I taught Mel about alchemy for an entire night.

「Let's confirm Mel's survival for now alas… Care to explain this situation?」

Rosemonde spoke with the horror-stricken face.

「Worry not, the current me is invincible. I can see the truth of the world. The origin of the human, and their final destination. Rosemonde-san, why are you in this place? No, the first thing to do is to explain the clear definition of that vague remark. In the first place, a human can't explain anything beyond their individuality, that's why you shouldn't use linear measurements such as common sense.」

Muttered Mel while reading the grimoire for alchemy.

「Oi Kanata. Are you sure that she's still sane?」

「She is. Mel-san did her best last night. I think this will be enough for alchemy.」

I expected her to take a lot more time to arrive at this point alas, Mel rallied up during the second half of our study session.

To begin with, Mel was an ambitious and tenacious person.

Though she might be caught in Wontz's trick, she was originally a genius magic craftsman who made groundbreaking inventions in this city.

「I don't think that's the problem…」

「It is simply because the recoil of cramming so much alchemy knowledge in a short amount of time happened at the same time as the trip of the elixir. She might get too excited now but, I think she's going to snap it out soon.」

「I-I see…」

Rosemonde looked anxiously at Mel.

「Pomera… Think that she shouldn't take an alchemy lesson from Kanata-san.」

Pomera spoke quietly.

Just when I was thinking about giving some alchemy lesson to Pomera sometime in the future alas, it seems the person herself was unwilling to learn that.

Too bad…

「Mel, do your best! You're doing great! You're such a great child! I'll give you a pat!」

Hearing Philia's suggestion, Mel offered her head to be patted by Philia.

Philia then patted Mel's head.

「Thank you… Philia-chan! It feels as if my soul, has returned…! Now let's get married, Philia-chan!」

Mel hugged Philia as she proposed to the latter.

Finally, Mel's snapped out of her own world.

Though Philia therapy wasn't animal therapy, it seems to be working nicely.

「You've finally got a grip on yourself… Well, shall we end Mel's training with this? Today is the fresh start of 《Fairy's Wings》…」

「Yeah, that's the end of alchemy's training. All that is left is training to raise your precision with magic craftsmanship.」

「Another training…」

「Since this training is no different from the game, no need to get fired up, Mel-san.」

「And another game…」

Rosemonde covered his face with his hands, and heaved a deep sigh.

Well, Mel's main job was magic craftsman.

No need to go in-depth with alchemy since it was only supplementary.

「There's no problem with our schedule. We will finish this by the end of the day and start producing our merchandise from tomorrow. Don't worry, we're on the right track, you can use the rest of the day by sightseeing Polorock.」

「… On track aside, we still have dragonfolk's problem ahead but, are you sure that Mel is right?」

「Yeah, she has been consuming elixir after all.」

「Don't you think that your so-called elixir is the reason for my anxiety!?」

In the end, Rosemonde decided to stay in 《Fairy's Wings》.

thus, Mel's magic craftsmanship training began under their watch.

I took out a lump of metal that glowed in a pale blue color and handed it to Mel.

「Are you sure that I have to play with this with magical power? The conductivity of magical power doesn't seem to be bad, it seems to be pretty easy you know?」

Full of curiosity, Mell was playing with the metal in the palm of her hands.

「Yeah, my magic craftsmanship might be lacking but, my teacher once told me 『Use this to train your magic craftsmanship.』.」

The item I gave to Mel was 《Zolapiras(Azure Composite Metal)》 in the form of a sphere.

【Zolapiras(Azure Composite Metal)】《Value: Legend》

It was a mysterious metal with an unknown function which excavated from the ruin of 3000 years ago.

It was an extremely brittle material, it was often described as 『Stone softer than baby's hand, more beautiful than the ocean』 alas, its function had yet to be known.

It is said to be a metal made with alchemy for research purposes.

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

「U~hm… In that case, I'll try.」

The moment Mel wrapped her hands around 《Zolapiras》, the lump of metal suddenly swelled up and smashed to pieces inside her hands.

「Eh, you must be kidding me!? Even though I just try to circulate my magical power…!」

Indeed, 《Zolapiras》 was a superconductor of magical power, that was the reason why it was really sensitive to magical power and prone to breaking apart when loaded with magical power.

Properly speaking, it might had some use due to its' nature as the superconductor of magical power alas, it couldn't be utilized properly since it was prone to breaking apart.

In fact, even Lunaire had tried to make the item with 《Zolapiras》 before alas, she ended up giving up since she couldn't find its' proper utility.

It wasn't impossible to use it as long as we could adjust its' fragile nature alas, she concluded that it was much faster to use alternative material.

On the other hand, Lunaire found use in its nature of being fragile and prone to breaking.

「Due to its nature of being extremely fragile and prone to breaking, it becomes the perfect training kit to hone magic craftmanship by changing its' shape.」

Yes, one needs own extremely delicate magic craftsman skill to be able to change 《Zolapiras》's shape without breaking it apart.

Doing this kind of training while consuming the elixir that raises concentration and learning ability should be able to boost Mel's magic craftsman's skill.

「A-Are you really… Sure about this?」

「My master used to change this metal into various shapes on the palm of her hand when she was bored.」

Lunaire used this lump of metal like some sort of cubic cube.

She went as far as creating bird, and a mini figurine of Noble Mimic.

「Just who… In the world is this Master of yours? W-What should I do when this metal is scattering about?」

Mel desperately gathered the broken pieces of 《Zolapiras》 with her hands.

「If I'm not wrong, my master enveloped her hands with magical power… And wrapped her hands around the pieces…」

「I see, that'll return it to its' original shape! Huff!」

The scattered pieces of 《Zolapiras》 then exploded into even smaller pieces, flying about in the surroundings.

Mel looked at those pieces with dead eyes.

At this rate, it might explode into fine ashes next time.
