Chapter 52
Ians residence.
Danya, left alone, blinked her eyes.
?
She stared blankly at the elixir in her hand.
Regardless of the type, elixirs were precious.
Danya knew well that elixirs and potions were among the sources of income for the Catsnesia tribe.
Even herbs like mountain ginseng were astronomically priced.
However, the elixir Ian handed her was different.
Just gripping it, she could feel a remarkably pure energy. If absorbed properly, it would undoubtedly lead to significant results.
This is so valuable
Ian tossed it as if handing over a candy and disappeared.
Without asking for anything in return.
Danya swallowed her saliva.
Indeed, Ian is different from ordinary humans.
Beastmen always lived with caution, avoiding being tamed by humans.
Trusting humans is like putting a noose around your own neck and handing the reins to the other person.
Danya, too, had been educated that way since childhood.
Instinctively ingrained wariness.
It seemed to loosen in Ian, unlike anyone else.
Ah
Swish.
Danya shook her head.
Ian is a colleague, lets not have strange thoughts.
By the way, when she tilted her head, she felt that the scent in this room was too provocative for a beastman like Danya.
Beastmen desires were different from those of humans, who maintained a stable libido.
These days, Danya was particularly vulnerable.
The scent of the room owner filled the room relentlessly, tormenting her.
Sniff.
Danyas eyes landed on Ians bed.
A somewhat haphazardly placed blanket and pillow.
I-Is he trying to tidy this up?
Danya cautiously grabbed the end of the blanket.
The moment she pulled the blanket once, an irresistible atmosphere was felt.
Oops.
Ugh.
This was cheating.
It felt like her mind was melting gently.
Why did that mischievous Ian have to flirt like this on a day like today?
She wanted to roll around here right away.
Thoughts like these filled her head.
Danya sensed it.
This was dangerous.
I-I should leave for now!
Suppressing her instincts, Danya rushed out of the front door. A
nd almost collided with someone.
Eek!
Nyah!
A fresh scream.
Between blonde and white hair, she looked like a noble young lady sensitive to trends even at a glance.
Even her somewhat small chest was elegantly accentuated by the clothes.
A woman with such a good style stood with a slightly awkward posture as if she was about to knock on the door.
Why is a woman like her visiting Ian?
Danya had such a question.
But soon, she shook her head, thinking it couldnt be true.
Because, there shouldnt be any woman visiting Ian other than herself.
Im not sure who youre looking for, but it seems like youve come to the wrong place.
Um, is this Student Ian Blackangers residence?
Nyah?
Danya covered her mouth, making a strange noise.
The reason for her embarrassment was simple.
No, why would a woman like her come to Ians home?
She knew Ian didnt have any friends, except for herself.
In fact, the other party seemed to think the same.
Who is this cat doing coming out of Ians room?
Silvia Laurent murmured to herself.
This morning, Silvia happened to receive a rare dessert from an old regular customer.
It felt a bit awkward to eat it alone, and Ian, who liked tea, came to mind, so she used that as an excuse to visit Ians home.
Youve never eaten anything like this, have you? I was going to play around and tease him with this unusual thing
Now, a strange cat came out of Ians home.
Moreover, it behaved as if it were the host.
It seemed that she thought Ian might demand something from her.
If youve improved it to this extent, its almost like making something new. Its on a completely different level than the pebbles made by a water flea like me.
Now completely gloomy, Christina sighed lightly, and Ian grabbed one of her samples.
Can I try this?
Huh? Y-Yes. Anyway, its just a piece of stone made by a water flea. Feel free to use it.
Stop talking nonsense and watch closely.
Ian rolled up his sleeves and sat at the workbench.
First, he carefully cut off a piece of the stone fragment.
Then, he extracted several metal components from around.
The difference between what she made and the stone fragment in my room must be this.
Ian had used various metal components in his experiments with mobility. There was a possibility that the fragment dropped by Christina had deformed due to that.
Focusing on that, he utilized Extraction and Transformation.
Christina, watching from the side, widened her eyes.
T-This is unbelievable. What kind of ability is this? Being able to freely manipulate metal like that.
Shh.
Hmm!
The materials currently being handled are of high grade.
To extract and utilize even minute amounts, full concentration is required.
After completing the processing of the prototype,
Finished.
As Ian sighed, Christina, who had been holding her breath, lit up with excitement.
T-This is unbelievable. With such a perfect ability, Ian is undoubtedly a natural talent for alchemy. You should pursue alchemy! With me!
Rather, shouldnt we check this first?
Ian presented ten types of stone fragments.
The prototypes were adjusted in proportions to reflect the situation in the accommodation.
Yes, yes!
Christina carefully placed them on the workbench, treating them like precious gems.
Her eyes, which seemed lifeless like rotten pollack, suddenly shone a boundless blue for a moment.
In that moment, her careful and delicate appearance reminded Ian of someone.
Chris Sierra.
A genius alchemist whose name became more prominent as the story progressed.
The reason information about her surfaced late was twofold.
One, because he knew her as Chris not Christina.
The other was that there was no such levitation stone in her research results.
Perhaps she completely failed to levitate it.
On the other hand, the prototype touched by Ian was perfectly levitating.
!!!
Her eyes filled with astonishment.
Three out of ten were levitating, and one was almost perfectly suspended in mid-air.
Its its levitating.
Yes, it is.
Ahaha Its levitating. Its really levitating
To be honest, Ian thought Christina would be a bit happier.
Touching the prototype directly in front of her was practically the same as revealing the recipe to her.
However, her expression was quite complex.
Fluctuating between happiness, sulking, and then cautiously throwing a question.
If its not too much trouble, may I ask you something?
Sure.
Why did you share this with me? If its already completed to this extent, you could have even threatened me to reveal the recipe.
If someone solves a field of research one has been working on for thousands of attempts, it is only natural for ones pride to take a hit.
Using this opportunity to cunningly extract the recipe from her could also be a way.
But thats not it.
Ian shook his head.
Im only interested in utilizing this. You might be more interested in creating a better levitation stone.
Above all, this levitation stone was different in nature from ordinary minerals. There was potential for improvement in performance according to research.
And Ian planned to develop mobility using this levitation stone.
In other words, Christina was a magic engineer who could upgrade abilities.
If he could nurture a legendary magic engineer, discovering a recipe by chance was nothing.
Ian believed in her skills.
Her failure to develop the levitation stone was simply because something was missing.
Therefore, Ian intended to be the catalyst for her.
So, lets collaborate. Ill help with anything you need.
Yes.
Tears welled up in Christinas eyes.
Ill work hard.
The first step of the rank assessment was just a day away.
Her support would undoubtedly be invaluable.
Ian extended his hand, and Christina grasped it with both hands.
