Chapter 194: CH 174

Translator: “Ashita”                             Editor: “Weasalopes”

The Royal Magic Academy, which lies East of the Royal Castle.

In a room within its building that is built out of white marble. In the Thermano research room, there are the figures of a middle-aged man who is sitting in a chair with his face covered, and students who surround him.

「I will go and call the Academy head」

One student from among the three male students said and left the room.

The sound of his footsteps as he ran down the hallway grew softer and softer with each passing moment.

The gaze of the two remaining students went back and forth between the professor who is sitting on the chair and the space between a small bottle that is on the appraisal table.

「Academy head! Here it is」

After waiting a while. Along with the student who opened the door with much vigor, the Academy head leaped through it.

A gentleman with silver-gray hair that has been hardened stiff by gel. He seems to have ran here as his shoulders moved up and down as he heaved.

The student, whose cheeks are flushed from his excitement, pointed at the appraisal table as he shouted.

「Please have a look at these indications! And that faint white light! There is no doubt that it is an Elixir!」

The academy head runs up to the appraisal table without even giving himself time to catch his breath.

And with his head almost sticking to the end of the table, he stared at the small bottle. A voice of amusement leaked out from his mouth that is slightly open.

Looking at this, the student declared with his chest puffed out.

「Finally, the research that Professor Thermano has been conducting for many years has finally bore fruit and the Elixir is complete!」

(Eh?)

The expression on the face of Explosive Onee-sama suddenly changes.

The figure of her controlling herself so as not letting her joy show on her face has disappeared with that single voice.

She immediately turns her face to look at the professor while the slim middle-aged man looks down as-is and does not move.

「As expected of Thermano-kun. I knew that if it is you, you will be able to accomplish it one day」

The academy head says these words with a smile on his face. However, Thermano did not react to those words.

「……Thermano-kun?」

No, it is not that there was no reaction from him. Upon closer inspection, he is quaking slightly.

It is as if he is holding back the wave of emotions he is experiencing with everything he has.

(Can it be)

The occasion he recalled to. He who has that recollection panicked as he looked around.

What he saw is a male student who has a proud expression on his face, the Thermano who does not raise his head, and a fidgety Explosive Onee-sama who has a pale face.

(Is that it!)

The academy head understands the situation after a moment. He shifts his gaze to Explosive Onee-sama and opens his mouth.

「You, could it be the one who creates the Elixir was–」

However, it was too late. Thermano exploded before that.

Thermano jumped up from his chair as if it has been fitted with a spring and used both of his hands to grab the male student, who has pride written all over his face, from the front.

Then came one word. The mouth that slants downwards said it swiftly.

「Die」

Immediately after that, while he pulled the back of the head closer in order to hold it in his arms, he thrust his right knee upwards.

The student who took a blow straight to his face staggered backward. His crimson red hands grasp on thin air as he fell on his back.

A little while later, the sound of several white broken fragments hitting the floor can be heard.

「Do you plan to frame me for stealing?」

As Thermano lands, he uses his eyes to look at the other two.

A pale face and suspicious eyes. The male students feel pressure from that appearance and could not move due to that.

The student that fell face-up on the floor has blood gushing out from his crushed nose and his mouth that had broken teeth.

「Know that this is the action that shows the most shirking of responsibility」

He then changed the direction he was looking at and steps forward. He got down on one of his knees in front of Explosive Onee-sama.

「My disciples have done something unforgivable」

Explosive Onee-sama froze up as she could not keep up with the events that conspired all of a sudden.

With his knee still on the floor, Thermano called out to the academy head.

「That lesser (lower grade) Elixir is something created by her hands. I did not contribute anything to its creation」

The academy head replied with a troubled expression on his face.

「In my eyes, is this not a misunderstanding by the students who have declared as such? There is no way that your disciples do not know of what their master detests」

The students at both sides nod fervently.

Seeing this, Thermano probably also realized his own failure. He closes in on the student who has white in his eyes, place a hand on him, and starts to chant an incantation.

A compact magic circle deploys on the floor and it starts healing the injuries sustained by the student.

「Seems like a spell one grade above is required」

A frowning Thermano takes the broken white fragments held out by the other students and places the hand holding them against the mouth that is full of blood.

Chanting a longer incantation than the one earlier, he deploys a larger magic circle.

It restored everything including the front teeth and crushed nose.

「You know, Thermano-kun has had his achievement stolen by a professor of a research room during his younger days」

The silver-gray gentleman, who walked up to where Explosive Onee-sama was, said that to her.

「That is why he hates stealing the achievements of others more than anything」

This time the shock from the lesser Elixir is so huge that it seems to have blown his rationality out of the window. After saying as such, the academy head closes one of his eyes.

The sound of footsteps with much hesitation can be heard as a person approaches Explosive Onee-sama who is nodding.

When she looks over, she saw the student who had his teeth and nose healed but still had blood all over his face.

「I am sorry. I jumped to the wrong conclusion」

After he regained his consciousness, he immediately came to Explosive Onee-sama to apologize.

「Are you alright?」

Explosive Onee-sama takes out a handkerchief with a worried expression on her face and wipes his face.

(Uuu……)

The student felt like his heart had been stabbed by short swords made of crystalized sugar.

The Big Three, that are known as the super high class. The sidelines of those are comparable with that of famous actresses who are beauties.

Seeing that he himself is reflected in those large and clear pupils has him feeling like his soul is being sucked out.

(……Goddess)

She is one of the students that is attending the magic academy. However, feeling like the worlds they lived in are different, he has not been able to get close to her.

But now, the distance between them is so short if he pushes his face out ever so slightly, he may just be able to kiss her. There lies her honorable face and she is showing concern for him.

In this situation, his nose bleed, which has supposedly stopped, started once again.

「Do not overexert yourself. It will be good if you give yourself some time to rest」

Explosive Onee-sama kindly holds his nose with the handkerchief.

That voice spreads from his ears to his heart, completely captivating his heart.

(I will seek employment)

He has never regretted as much as now that he has no savings.

Noting that the time for graduation is near, he could not decide whether to stay on campus or to work outside but this one moment has had him come to a decision.

(I will earn money and visit her store. For sure)

With his new goal in life, he can feel energy welling up within him.

By the way, the handkerchief he got from this event became his treasure but that is for another time.

「Everyone! I would like you to listen」

The student and Explosive Onee-sama. After seeing that their conversation has ended, Thermano said in a loud voice.

「This lesser Elixir is her creation. All the achievement goes to her」

He then took in a huge breath and winced.

「I feel jealous of her result. I do not want to admit it but there are whispers in my mind telling me to steal her achievement. Even at this very moment!」

He grabs his own chest and spat out those words.

「I have motives. My nature is vulgar, prideful, and filled with jealousy. That is why I ask of you, please look at me using eyes that are filled with suspicion」

He looked downwards and did not say anything for a while.

When he raised his head once again, the suspicion from earlier has disappeared and the air has become refreshing.

「Congratulations. You have accomplished the feat of shaking the world with your creation. That name of yours will no doubt be craved into the etches of history」

Thermano smiles and lifts one of his hands up to seek a handshake.

Although Explosive Onee-sama is nervous, she stretched out her hand and shook his hand.

「……Thermano-kun. You seem to never change no matter how much time passes. You will always remain as one with too much seriousness」

The academy head says these words with a gentle expression on his face.

「To go as far as using others to seal your own escape route, you are the same as before」

He brought his face closer to Explosive Onee-sama’s.

「It seems like he has let you gone through an unpleasant experience. This somewhat of a ritual for Thermano to come to terms with reality. However, to the others surrounding him, this is but an extremely troublesome matter」

Translator: “Ashita”                             Editor: “Weasalopes”

Hearing these words from the academy head, Thermano winces. When he met eyes with Explosive Onee-sama once again, he bowed while saying sorry.

After that, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

「I am sorry, but will all of you lend me your ears to listen to the matter regarding the sequence of events up till the completion of the lesser Elixir」

When Explosive Onee-sama nods, he faces the academy head and students as he begins explaining the events.

The content is a repeat of what the professor has said in the morning.

「I met a certain customer at the brothel. That was the beginning of everything」

Everyone reached for a chair within their grasp and took a seat. They then lent her their ears.

「That is the method I used to get my hands on the fruit. It seems like the customer himself does not yet realize it but no matter how I think about it, I cannot help but see that fruit as the fruit spoken of in the legends, the Ambrosia」

The Ambrosia itself or a very close subspecies.

I, who suspected as such, challenged him to a match and, at the end of an intense match, managed to get my hands on it somehow.

After that, I immediately took on the challenge of creating the Elixir, from the result of many failures, I have finally completed it as of this morning.

「The customer you met, can you tell us who that person is」

The academy head who listened to the story to its end placed one of his hands on his chin as he asked this question. Although his tone is gentle, the glint in his eyes is sharp. He has Explosive Onee-sama in his eyes and does not take his eyes off her for even a moment.

Explosive Onee-sama looks back at him without faltering and firmly declines to do so.

「As a person working for the brothel, I cannot answer such questions」

Being in the line of business where physical relationships take place with employees and customers with their bodies laid bare, there are many customers who let their guard down and spout secrets.

That is why they themselves adhere to strict rules of upholding confidentiality for these secrets.

(Although I do talk about my customers with the concierge and my colleagues)

However, that is only something that occurs within her workplace. She has never spoken a word to anyone else who is not related.

「The Elixir and the Ambrosia, they are things that have a huge impact on the world. I guarantee you that revealing the customer to us does not subject you to punishment」

The academy head does not back down. However the expression on Explosive Onee-sama’s face is strict, she does not nod.

「This is not a problem about what the punishment will or will not be. It is a problem in terms of logic」

There lies not the young female student who was flustered earlier. There lies the figure of a professional who works at the highest peak of the red-light district.

The academy head lightly brushed his face once and made his gaze gentler.

「An oath to the God of Business, is it something along those lines?」

The one who sells spring is said to be the oldest god in the world who governs commerce. The people who work at the brothel must swear upon an oath before taking a seat at the gallery.

『Regardless of the customer, I will attend to them without showing any favouritism』

『Relying on my own ability and judgment, I will provide the best possible service to the customer』

『Regardless of the contents, I will uphold confidentiality regarding the secrets of my customers』

There are several but these are probably the most well-known.

Seeing how firm Explosive Onee-sama was, the academy head lets out a sigh.

The expression on his face looked like he felt that it was a shame but there are some signs of his respect for Explosive Onee-sama.

(You could say that this is as expected of the Big Three)

Having a high level of moral values, it is further supported by her unshakeable pride in her line of work. As long as it is an oath to the Gods, the authority of those on the surface will have little effect on her.

(I have no choice but to compromise on my end)

He shrugs his shoulders and asks a question once again.

「From where does that person come from? Will it be alright if it is only that much?」

It is fine even if it is only the direction, the academy head appealed as such.

Explosive Onee-sama recalls the pillow talk she had with Tauro.

「From the West, if I recall correctly, he came from Landbarn」

This is the limit to which she can answer.

「……Landbarn huh」

After hearing that name, everyone let out a sigh.

The land there is already in the hands of the Empire. They will not be able to make a move that easily.

「Will you not be able to get it anymore? Does that person still have any more of that?」

Explosive Onee-sama thinks.

A huge challenge with the Ambrosia on the line once again.

(It is impossible! Absolutely impossible!)

It will be fine if nothing is on the line

However, a serious battle is impossible.

If she herself does that, she may just be unable to return to the surface ever again.

「……It seems like getting your hands on it is difficult」

Hugging her own shoulders, Explosive Onee-sama’s face is beet red, and her body shivers.

Seeing those signs, the academy head let out a deep sigh once again.

Explosive Onee-sama performed deep breathing several times to calm herself down. After that, she opened her mouth.

「There is still some of the ingredient, though little, remaining. I estimate that there is most likely enough for one experiment」

After hearing these words, the eyes of everyone darted among themselves.

「One more experiment」

One person mutters and another swallows his own spit.

「Due to my own selfishness, an important ingredient has been wasted in excess. However, I really wanted to test what my own capabilities could bring forth」

Seeing Explosive Onee-sama bow deeply, Thermano silently shakes his head from left to right.

「No, that ingredient is something that only you could have got your hands on. There is no need for you to feel remorseful for using it for your very own research」

Explosive Onee-sama gazes at the professor with a deep meaning packed behind her gaze.

「Professor, I have a request. Will you do the honor of conducting the next experiment」

Surrounded by students that are whispering among one another, Thermano silently gazes back at Explosive Onee-sama.

「It was my intention from the very beginning to ask the professor to conduct the experiment for the very last time. That is regardless of whether the experiment this morning was a success or failure」

When faced with that strong gaze, a small smile appeared on the mouth of Thermano as he nods.

「It is an honor that I am chosen. I will use the utmost of my ability to conduct this experiment」

He then continued saying his words.

「However, this is only natural but I have never handled anything like Ambrosia. Your experience with it is indispensable. Would you lend me a hand?」

「If you are fine with me, I will gladly help out」

Just like this, it is decided that the very last experiment will be conducted under the direction of the professor.

Some preparations need to be made and a plan needs to be drawn up for the experiment. Saying as such, the professor takes the students who are his disciples and flew out of the room.

And so, several days later.

Conducting the experiment after thorough preparations have been completed, Professor Thermano, though small in amount, successfully manufactured Triple B that is undoubtedly the Elixir.

In the report released in the name of the academy head of the Royal Magic Academy.

The names of Professor Thermano and Explosive Onee-sama are recorded together on the same line.

Headquarters of the Kingdom’s Merchant Guild.

At a selling counter on one of the levels, a man with sunken cheeks murmurs.

「Tauro-san, it seems like Thermano-sama has completed the Elixir」

There are heavy eyebags below his eyes. It seems like he does not sleep well and does not have much appetite.

This is the figure of the middle-aged man with a scary face that has gone through extreme changes.

「Elixir you say?」

I recall the thing that the man with a crooked mouth said.

If I recall correctly, as I was talking with the middle-aged man with a scary face, he was the person that barged in from behind and showed off his C-rank potion.

「If I recall correctly, it is triple B right?」

Honestly, I feel that that is amazing.

C-rank was his best just a while back. But now it has become B-rank, and what is more, it is one that recovers injuries, heals sicknesses, and recovers abnormal status effects, a three in one potion.

Even I, who was given Akashic Magic (Origin Magic) from that mysterious statue, cannot accomplish such a feat. Although, if it is just B-rank potions with a single effect, I can make six a day.

「The intriguing thing is the name that is on the same line and right next to Thermano-sama. Word goes around that that person is a student」

The middle-aged man with a scary face tilted his head, seemingly puzzled.

The name of that student was one that I remember hearing before.

(If I remember correctly, Explosive Onee-sama does go by that name)

It seems like the middle-aged man with a scary face does not remember. She did only come along with us on the trip to the Holy City.

(But to think that an Elixir can be made)

After she made a name for herself at the Contest before God, there was a rush for reservations for Explosive Onee-sama and she has earned an almost uncountable amount in tips.

I hear that she has poured everything into the research funds for the Magic Academy.

(It seems like your efforts have borne fruit. Congratulations)

That being said, it is quite a feat for a professor and a student to have a joint signature.

As expected of the number one of a super first-class brothel. When esteemed people are told to do something, the results they produce are always different. It is probably due to the high basic specs they possess.

「In-charge, please have this」

That being that, I put a potion bottle with a deep green fluid on the counter.

「Hmm, an add-on? It seems like a D-rank abnormal status recovery potion」

The potions that have just been stored away using his hand, he stops his hand that was processing the payment and takes the bottle using it.

「This is not part of the delivery. This is a present from me to the In-charge. Please drink it on the spot」

Not knowing the meaning behind my words, the middle-aged man with a scary face looks at me with his mouth half-open.

The sunken cheeks and the thick eye bags below his eyes. Coupled with these, it seems like he frequently uses bad medicines.

「Your health is in bad condition, right? I do not know whether it will be effective or not but please try it out for me」

In truth, I cannot guarantee anything.

It was effective in dispelling brainwashing but I do not know whether it can heal even the wounded heart.

「This is my treat to the In-charge whom I am always indebted to. As someone who stands at the reception counter, those thick eye bags below your eyes are bad right?」

His facial expression crumbles, tears well up at the corners of the eyes of the middle-aged man with a scary face.

After he expressed his thanks, he opened the lid and drank the potion. There are signs of mana spreading all over his body but I can sense it even without activating my Magic Eye.

「……I feel that both my body and mind have become lighter」

The middle-aged man with a scary face let out a sigh from the depths of his lungs.

He grabbed the potion bottle that he had already emptied and gazed at it.

「D-rank potion. It is the first time I have used it but it is really amazing huh」

He nodded many times.

If there is nothing to heal, he should not feel any reaction at all even if he drinks it. For that kind of thought to come from him would probably act as proof that the potion was useful as a cure.

(He seems to be fine now)

From my observation, his complexion is improving. The thick eye bags below his eyes too, are a lot thinner.

Just one more push and the nightmare he dreams of at night will probably disappear.

「Will you not accompany me to a brothel after your work? I have actually gotten a complimentary ticket」

The middle-aged man was wide-eyed as he could not follow the conversation. Seeing this, I press him for an answer.

「They are not idols but there are a lot of young women. That is fine right?」

I too have gone through quite a painful experience with the strawberry rice bowls of Celeb Beauty. I understand the pain felt in the heart of the middle-aged man with a scary face very well.

His feelings of wanting to go and wanting to hold back. Seeing his face that shows a mixture of these two feelings, I added.

「I cannot use this ticket unless I go with another person. Even though the expiry of the ticket is fast approaching, what a bind I am in」

With these words, the middle-aged man with a scary face surrendered to his desires.

「Please allow me to come along by all means」

Half a day after that, we left the Merchant Guild before the Sun sets.

The middle-aged man, who just had a 「No Overtime Day」, has completed every kind of preparation he could think of.

His complexion has gotten even better than the time I saw him before noon.

(His body is already fine. All that is left is his mind)

We, who have left the building, faced the sunset and crossed the open plaza. We head for Cione, which is located on the main street of the entertainment district.

He probably never expected that we will go to one of the Big Three. The middle-aged man with a scary face stands in front of the store, stupefied.

「Ok ok, we will block the way of the other customers if we stand at the entrance so we should head inside」

I push his back and we went inside the store.

I am blessed with much income so I do not mind at all. However, to normal people, the threshold for high-class brothels is too high.

The middle-aged man, who has a family that runs on the pocket money system, is first and foremost, unable to enter with the money in his own wallet.

And this is one of the Big Three. A super first-class store. It is only natural that hr stops in his footsteps.

「We have been waiting for you」

The concierge welcomes us with a smile on his face.

I declared to the middle-aged man with a scary face.

「You will not be able to choose your partner if you use the complimentary ticket. Although the play fee is free, you will have to pay for the drinks. Also, there is no need to tip the women」

Then, please go ahead. Saying this, the concierge pushed him as well.

The middle-aged man with a scary face, who staggered up to the reception counter, is surrounded by three beauties. He ascended the stairs just like this.

「Well then, please make your payment」

Three new beauties came in my direction.

While admiring them, I hold up my guild card.

「For two people, I will pay the cost for six members of the sideline」

There was no such thing as a complimentary ticket.

I, who left the Merchant Guild before noon, came to Cione to meet up with the concierge.

「I apologize for bringing up such a sudden request」

「No, this matter is actually something that makes us more than happy to oblige」

The concierge returns the guild card, his face full of smiles.

「For the share that the Oyakodon was successful, a shift of the loss has been made to the women without mothers, who can be the solution for this」

That is right.

No matter how much of a beauty they are, it is not like all their mothers will fulfill the standards set by the brothel.

And what is more, this is one of the Big Three. If their main force is not up to a class that can rival that of the other stores, they will not get the badge.

「There are also stores that dish out fake Oyako Don but those are but mere lower-class stores. They are exposed and lose the people will their trust in them, there are also cases where the stores close」

His expression seems to say the words my, my.

「By the way Tauro-sama, have you not noticed anything?」

There is a meaningful smile on his face.

I look around at the beauties once again and raised my voice without meaning to.

They look similar.

「Three sisters Don. This is the appreciation menu from our store to Tauro-sama」

No words come out of my mouth.

The thing known as the creativity of a human knows no bounds.

It is indeed true that I was the one who came up with the idea of Oyako Don. But from there, like the vines of summer, the idea spread to the surroundings.

And so, the successful birth of a new fruit has been accomplished.

(It is already completely their own original idea)

As a matter of fact, my role is finished with regards to the types of Don.

This brought forth a slight sense of loneliness but there was a greater sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in me.

「Uncle, let’s go quickly」

「Hey! That’s disrespecting the customer」

The three women, who pulls my sleeve. The one who chided her was probably the eldest.

Then, the next eldest woman blushed and averted her eyes, giving off the vibes of a Tsundere.

「Yes, yes, yes」

I casually wrapped my hands loosely around the three sisters and went up the stairs.

And so, a few hours later.

I, who have returned home, fervently told my familiars about the heartwarming tale with the Three sisters Don.

「As expected, the eldest is the one to watch. A sister who is mature and good at taking care of others. The timing of when to bring down the eldest one will really affect the level of excitement that the other two feels」

Dangorou is extremely interested. As expected of the general, it probably has an interest in the battle.

「I received a massage from the three women this time but whenever the next eldest and third eldest make mistakes, I made the eldest sister take responsibility for it」

The eldest sister, who deals with the failures of her younger sisters using her body.

Although I was aroused, the elder sister was even more determined than that. Due to this, I easily reached the goal.

「If the eldest sister regains consciousness, by getting shaken even after she is knocked down, the younger sisters will also get desperate」

I get aroused even as I am recalling the scene.

In the latter half, I had the joy of enjoying the next eldest and third eldest giving their bodies up from the bottom of their heart.

I do think that I might have gone a bit too far in the back of the next eldest.

「But there were no rebukes so that’s a relief, that’s a relief」

All that is left is the two to one, the upcoming final decisive battle, I think up of a plan for my battle with Instructor Light Cruiser.

The day has not been set yet but it is probably not far off.

「No, the back is bad. I will be banned from entering again」

I laughed and replied when I heard the suggestion brought up by Dangorou.

Honestly, there are very few things to reference. However, I really enjoy these moments where I am exchanging conversations with my familiars.

「The Spinning Technique huh」

Imosuke crawls round and round in circles on the floor.

This was the scene of the meeting of the board of directors for the Doom Squad.
