The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

Karin explained to me about the appointment of the head of the alchemy department.

However, it seems that what we have to do is not so different from what we have done so far.

Work on problems that could be solved in the territory using alchemy. Smelting of magic stones.

And the long-awaited permission to do basic research has been given.

As for the budget, the items that need to be approved by Kalin were explained. It seems that the budget can be used almost freely as long as it is within the bounds of common sense. For some reason, she said, "I trust Rust's good sense. Kareen reminded me to report the use of the budget to the accounting department.

And one more thing... I was given a job right away.

"The alchemy department will eventually increase its staff and become an independent organization. Kalin asked me to think of a name for the organization.

A name for the organization. I don't want a name similar to the Alchemy Association. The other one is under the direct control of the state. We should have a name that has the characteristics of the Admiralty. Or we can use something related to our own alchemy. Hmmm...

I walk to my tent, wondering.

I can't decide right away. There's no hurry, I'll do what I can now.

And so I prepared myself in my tent to officially begin my first work as the head of the alchemy department.

Master Lusto, I'm coming in," came Ary's voice.

Ary and Roa enter the tent.

I had sent word for them to come to the tent for a consultation with Ary.

Roa looks a little confused. Come to think of it, I remember that he used to scurry around in my tent when he brought me a patient for treatment of endemic disease.

Now that I think about it, he must have been looking at Rose with his clairvoyant magic eyes. The Rose's ivy, which completely covers the inside of the tent in an intricate and intertwining way, looks interesting to the clairvoyant eye.

I offer them a chair.

In response to my voice, the rose ivy rises and makes a place for them to sit. I see that Roa is still interested.

I wait for them to sit down and call out to them.

"Then, I would like to examine the flow of the magical elements in your two magical eyes and the function of your cloth magic tools that you are controlling.

Okay.

"First, I'm going to ask you to wrap this sealing scroll around your eyes. This will completely block the function of the magic eye. In the meantime, I'd like to briefly examine the function of the cloth magical tool you're wearing now," I began to explain as I showed them the palm-sized scroll. It is just wide enough to cover your eyes.

"From where, sir?" Ary.

"Let's start with the Loa. From what I've heard, Ary, it seems that your magic eye is more stressful on your body. The risk of removing the cloth magic gear you'll be wearing all the time is also greater for Ary, isn't it?

"That's fine," Roa replies, interrupting Ary.

"Loa ....... I understand. Thank you very much.

"Now wrap this around his face so that it covers his eyes," I say, handing the sealing scroll to Ary.

Ary takes it from me carefully.

"Loa, let's begin." "Yes."

Ary slowly unfolds the scroll and places it inside the cloth that hides Loa's face.

Roa puts his hand in as well. They work together to wrap the scroll around Loa's face.

"It's done," says Aari.

"Yes, I see. Let's begin. "Seal."

The scroll is illuminated by a flash of magical elements.

The scroll of the seal is tightened tightly around the eyes of the loa.

"You can let go of my hand now. What do you think, Loa?

A moment of silence.

"...... can't see anything. I can't see anything. It's pitch black," Roa whispered in a whisper.

"The scroll seems to be working. Well then, Ary. Please remove Loa's magical gear."

The cloth is slowly removed. The scroll reveals only the eyes of Roa's face.

As you try to make sure that the scroll is tightly wrapped, you realize that it is not. There are two stains on the edges of the scroll. From there, a single clear drop runs down to Loa's cheek.

"Loa! Ary's worried voice.

"He said I didn't need to see anything. I see you're all like this, Ary sister."

I can almost hear Ary's gasp.

While I'm still wondering what to do, Ary silently puts his arms around Roa and hugs him gently. Loa's hand squeezes Ary's clothes.

I turn my back to them, somehow feeling bad for interrupting them.

To kill time, I decide to start examining Roa's magic tools that had been handed to me.
