My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well

92 – Gluttony and Greed (1)

“I am… Because I am an unfinished human… So I thought I made everyone unhappy.”

Academy rooftop.

Cloudy and I were sitting at the bottom of the banister, telling each other what we hadn’t been able to tell.

“I was too. I thought that my upbringing was faulty, and that my misfortune had come about.”

“… Can I really live as a Sacher?”

“You have already made known the name Sacher through your existence. As for the surname Philip, it seems that Colchester was a bit greedy… Now, regardless of Colchester’s choice, you are drawing the outline of the name Sacher on your own.”

Meet again after 10 years.

Claudy, who returned to the continent after 20 years, was still a person worthy of being called a wise man.

He was able to see through the wounds and worries that still remained in me living a new life at once, and generously gave advice that could alleviate them even if they couldn’t solve them.

Master.

It was definitely the kind of name that would give you strength just by being present, and give you joy just by coming back.

“… I’m glad Master is back.”

“I feel good seeing you after a long time too.”

“Did you meet your father well?”

“Whoops. okay. Colchester seems to care about you a lot.”

This is a lie.

My father is a person who didn’t move for the country even when Karin was sick, let alone me.

No matter how much he was Master’s friend, that hard-headed person couldn’t have said anything that cared for me.

Perhaps reading the disbelief on my face, Cloudy scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

“Was my lie a bit obvious?”

“A little too much.”

“hahahaha. Don’t hate Colchester too much, though. Accepting you at the time would have been a really difficult decision.”

“That is natural. I am always grateful.”

We meet after 10 years.

There are many stories to tell and many stories to hear.

I listened to Master’s life so far, and Cloudy listened to my life at the academy and had a long-awaited meeting.

“Oh. I heard that Master Bertrand and Chernica are close friends that Master talked about before?”

“hmm? yes. This time, we met while visiting the Empire. ”

“Actually, I’m dating their daughter, Schunika. The other day, the two of you went to their house to play, and I was surprised to hear your name. I remembered what Master told me.”

“what? ha ha ha. That’s really fun.”

Sometimes like this, while talking about the lovers I like.

As we talked endlessly, the evening was approaching before we knew it.

I blew all my classes this afternoon, but I have no regrets at all.

The teacher I met after 10 years, and my uncle.

The time I met and talked with Cloudy was perfect, without even a moment’s gap.

As if the academy class time is coming to an end.

Our story was also coming to an end.

The last topic of conversation was about Master’s 10 years of immersed research.

“So you’ve been researching the demon king all this time?”

“okay. Sacher, I moved to a slash-and-burn village to teach you and raise you… In the corner of my heart, I always had the belief of a hero who fought desperately against the demons. While not participating in the two demon wars for 20 years, on the other hand, he always felt sorry for the other warriors. If I fall out of the war, it means that in the end someone participated in the war instead of me.”

Such a bit of guilt and the belief that as a hero, you should be of help to the continent.

The two hearts merge, and become Master.

It made me do 20 years of ‘research on the demon king’.

“Even though it took 20 years, it was not possible to study all demon lords.”

“then… ?”

“A total of three demon kings. Mamon of greed, Leviathan of jealousy, Beelzebub of gluttony. The three demon lords were my limit. Perhaps research on other demon lords should be passed on to future generations.”

“What exactly are you studying?”

“The characteristics, powers, abilities, and subordinate demons of the demon lords. And I focused on studying their destruction methods and weaknesses. Perhaps if all of these data can be handed over to one hero, it will not be impossible for the demon lords to attack.”

Research materials that can attack the demon lord.

This was definitely a story that would create a huge topic when it was released to the public.

As Cloudy’s nephew and only pupil, I was fortunate enough to be the first to hear it.

“By the way, Master. Wasn’t the gluttonous Beelzebub already defeated 4 years ago? To the hero Ludgale Liquid.”

The data to attack the demon lord were good, but it seemed that Cloudy was a little in vain.

This is because Beelzebub, the demon king of gluttony, was defeated by Ludgeil shortly after descending to the continent during the demon war four years ago.

It would have been nice if the data was a demon other than Beelzebub… .

But after hearing my words, Cloudy’s expression was strange.

“Beelzebub? well… .”

Cloudy was speechless, and after that, he didn’t speak.

He seemed to know something, but he didn’t seem to want to tell me yet.

Instead, he got up from his seat and made me an offer.

“How about learning from me again after a long time?”

“… Master?”

“okay. I’m on break too, so I have a lot of time left, and you’ll be able to take a little bit of time out of the day. Let’s make your growing alchemy into a perfect form. It will definitely come in handy in these confusing times.”

It was natural.

Cloudy’s education, though ten years old, has never been unnecessary to me.

Everything taught was a new world to me, and all the words of advice landed on the necessary parts neatly like purified water.

To be able to study as a student of Claudy Lazour.

As an alchemist, it was an honor beyond measure.

‘Though I’m running out of time.’

… To be honest, time is a bit short.

At the academy, he has to teach classes and work as an assistant to Professor Melin, and outside, he is in charge of sales and business of ＜The Moonlight Night＞.

Is that all?

He also needs time to spend with his four lovers.

In my second semester, I was living a busier life than any undergraduate student.

“Yes, I like it.”

But I couldn’t blow this golden opportunity.

father of alchemy.

Once again to the great inventor.

Now that I have become an adult and my understanding of alchemy has increased, I learn from him once again.

Just the thought of it made my heart flutter and made me feel good.

I was determined to learn as much as possible before Cloudy returned to Tyrpe.

And as if confirming this, I faced him and smiled wide.

… He was also smiling at me.

Really long time no see.

I thought I’d never see you again.

I thought I had to live with atonement for the rest of my life.

It was Master’s bright smile.

Inside the splendid palace.

The emperor, sitting in a large chair in the center, said with his chin resting.

“Well, then it’s safe to say that there are almost no double gates left.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. After the great exploration of the continent began, the double gates had not gone undiscovered for so long. There is no other way to explain it unless it all disappears.”

“hmm… .”

The Empire’s Declaration of the Double Gates and the Declaration of the Great Exploration and Extermination of the Continent.

A lot of time has passed since then, and countless double gates have been cleared.

One round of sweeping had passed, and a month had passed since the double gate had not been discovered.

It was the moment to recover the power of the empire that had been put in for him.

“Lord Liquid.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“As of today, the call-up of the special unit to clear the double gates, which was established following the Vampire Slaughter Squad, is lifted. I’ve been through a lot during this time. You can now return to the form of a free knight as before and wait for the special mission that will follow.”

“I take orders.”

“I plan to praise you generously for the hard work you have put in for the past 6 months, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.”

Ludgale Liquid is the best warrior on the continent.

After resigning as the head of the imperial guard knights, he maintained the status of a free knight carrying out special missions according to the emperor’s order.

Therefore, the killing of vampires and the elimination of double gates, which were carried out at the beginning of this incident.

I was able to complete both missions neatly without major problems.

“You can stop and go.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After a light interview with the emperor.

Ludgale returned to her special room in the imperial palace.

The room is quiet as if a mouse died, befitting a special room used alone.

… and.

“Keuk… !!”

Screams of pain shook the room.

It was the sound that came out of Rudgale’s mouth.

He clutched his chest in burning pain and sat down on the bed.

The continent’s greatest warrior.

It was a weak and painful gesture to the extent that a person with such a title could not believe it.

Ludgale sat down as it was.

As if possessed by something.

He looked into the void and shouted lowly.

“Doc… hit it.”

But there was no one around either.

In a quiet room.

The only sound that could be heard was from his mouth.

Ludgale grabbed his chest and got up slowly.

A large mirror that I see as soon as I wake up.

His eyes reflected in the mirror.

Unspeakably bizarre…

The dark red color was encroaching on it.
