"You've been hit. Oh, man. That's the third one. Three. Oh, my God, oh, my God. Even a messenger's hard work. Alchemists can make them in a jiffy. We have to look for suitable children one by one.

　I look around. I don't see any people or even monsters, but I hear voices.

　I raise my guard to the max.

"What! Where are you, Hippopo?"

"Bumo ......" Hippopo doesn't seem to perceive it either.

Sailuke, having drunk his "cu" potion, jumps on Hippopo's back and sticks to it.

"Huh. This was supposed to be the end of it all. Master Rust, who are you really? I'm in trouble. When outsiders stir things up."

　I hear my name called and turn around with a start.

　I am sure that no one was there before. Nevertheless, there was now a man standing there. A man with a hood over his head and a face that is invisible.

　The area is a flat wasteland. Nothing of note except for the sunken footprints of a hippopotamus. Not even a rock big enough for a man to hide behind.

　I question the man with the utmost caution. With a scroll ready to attack if he answers.

I am just an alchemist. And you are a sorcerer, right?

"Spellbinders! Some people call me that. Oh, dear. It's so annoying... they call me that like I'm an old-fashioned witchdoctor. It's absolutely revolting. Alchemy is more of a subgenre, a sidegenre, an irregularity. Well, that's all right for now. The main issue is you, my dear. I can't tell you how much your presence annoys me. The special messenger I created to slowly torment the demon-killers... you destroyed it so easily. And the curse I put on that annoying stalker woman... And finally the dragon! Dragons! If it were true, I would have been completely taken care of here."

　A man who keeps blabbering on and on.

　What is he talking about? Is alchemy irregular? And the catfish was his demon, too. And Sailuke. What do you mean, "process"? Do you do anything special?

　I relax my hand from squeezing the scroll. I suppress the anger that rises with the question, and my rational mind tries to attack it.

　I am not very accurate when I attack in anger. And I thought I should let him talk and get some information, whether it is true or not.

　However, there are many things that I don't understand. It's hard to judge if it's true or false.

"Do you want to suppress your anger? Well, that's good. I guess that means I should simply kill you, Rust. Unlike the promising Riharzam, who was drowned in his darkest emotions."

　A man who stops talking.

　It's coming!

　I deployed my ready scroll.
