I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist - Chapter 168 166

One day, Zeke called me in while I was mixing.I followed him with a strange look of panic, and there was an example vessel in the room before I was taken away, and Lukash’s face was reflected on the surface of the water.

I haven’t seen my face like this for a while because I’ve been mainly exchanging letters lately.─ However, it was clear from the childhood’s familiar steep expression that the atmosphere was not pleasing to that.

Laura, help me.

My childhood friend opens his mouth when I sit in a chair.

And he went on like this.Because of the poisonous fog, I couldn’t go any further.

Poisonous fog?

To get to the Demon King, the mist of poison spread through the forest…

Lukash chewed his lower lip and dropped his gaze as his teeth burned.

A poisonous mist spreading through the forest.Could it be that it stops the heroes from walking?

Is it because of the Demon King?

According to the people in the nearby village, I think so.It seems that until a short while ago it was a rich forest where fruits and medicinal herbs could be picked well….. ”

It was like a sabotage trick by a demon king.

The Demon King wanted to buy some time to gather his strength for the final showdown.On the other hand, for the brave side who wanted to cut off a little preparation time, it was tough to get stuck here.

However, the sudden appearance of the poisonous fog must have been the “cause”.

Well then, there must be some cause… did you ask Master Rykerrant to purify the soil?

Yeah, I tried the prototype that Laura sends me regularly, but it didn’t work.

In other words, it wasn’t poisoned by plant-type monsters.However, the target of the attack at that time was Fontarpne-sama’s tree, and there was no poisonous fog, so Lukash’s response was expected.

No, no, no, no, no, no.Honestly, it wasn’t a very forward-thinking proposal, but I asked to check it out.

“… hey, can’t you go through the space-time gap to the end of the forest?”

The dwellings of the spirits are all connected to the space-time gap.Getting around can be dangerous, but if there’s an entrance up ahead of the woods, you can keep going through the woods.

However, it would temporarily abandon the poisonous fog-ridden forest.If I defeated the Demon King, perhaps the poisonous fog would clear up, but it was still a path that I didn’t feel like going too far emotionally.

The one who answered my question was Diona, who was standing right next to Lukash.

From now on, the entrance near the dark clouds is closed.

Is it closed?

The demon king’s wicked magic power is too great for the spirits to live in….

Diona’s answer was unexpected, and I unexpectedly took a breath.

It seems that the power of the Demon King is considerably greater than you might imagine.

(I’m already that close…)

It seemed that the end point of the hero’s journey was near, but it seemed that it could be pinned down again.

I managed to get rid of the momentary upset and asked again.

“Don’t you know the cause of the poisonous fog?”

Wentle and the others came to see me, but I looked like a monster.

Monster?

There was a big flying monster wrapped in a poisonous fog.

A large “flying” monster surrounded by poisonous fog.

I thought it was nasty. The Demon King’s experience with Master Fontarpne was used to formulate countermeasures against our attack methods.If it was a plant-type monster with roots in the soil, or a pedestrian-type monster with feet on the surface of the soil, it could interfere with anything with the power of Lycarrant.

Julius drew closer to the surface of the water to show a piece of paper to me, which had shut up.It depicted a monster with wings on its back.

“This is the monster I painted when I heard Wentle and the others.”

“… you’re really good at it, aren’t you?”

My brother used to beg me.

I conveyed my honest feelings, but when I saw the shadow cast on Julius’ smile, I said that it was a slur.However, it was only for a moment that he had a shadow, and he immediately returned to his usual smile.

The monster painted by Julius spread across the surface of the water, and the Lukash and the others behind could not be seen, but the next time I shook the eardrum was Vake’s voice.

We think that if we defeat this monster, the fog will clear up, but we need to disable the poison before we defeat it.

That’s why you asked me for help.

I’m honestly glad that you can count on me when I’m in trouble.That is why we must strive to meet that expectation.

You are looking for a long time to void poisons.I wear a mask with an antidote herb when I dispense poison, but I wonder if I can attack it with that application.

Various games, not just “Last Brave”, have preventive medicines that can disable heat, cold, and poison for a certain amount of time without taking any damage.The goal is to create a cure.The ingredients should not be so different from the antidote.

I am anxious about preventive medicine alone, so I wonder whether I should use it in combination with a mask, and I suddenly think of it.

(With the help of Acari and Master Wentle, we may be able to create a barrier to the antidote.)

The membrane of the antidote would be closer than the barrier.If we can wrap Lukash’s body in an antidote, we may be able to prevent poison more reliably.

Although I inflated my imagination on my own, I still lacked knowledge about poison and monsters.It’s a matter of life and death for the Lukash.We must think of a plan backed by solid knowledge.

Two faces in my head.― ― As before, it would be better to ask for the help of juniors who are familiar with poison and monsters.

The painting of Julius is separated from the surface of the water, and the faces of Lukash and the others are visible.I looked over at their faces and nodded loudly.

“Okay, I’ll talk to Basilio who knows more about the poison and get back to you.”

Nice to meet you, Laura.

I nodded again as Lukash stared at me.

Afterwards, I asked Acari to bring me a picture of Julius – he would get soaked in water if I passed it through the vessel, so I had to ask the spirit to carry it in order to receive the paper with the monster – I asked Siegfried to summon Basilio and Iris with the light vessel.

Basilio and the others were told it would take a while to get to work, so they remembered that they were in the middle of a concoction and went back to the concoction room once.At that time, I had a bowl meeting with the master, so I decided to ask her to attend the consultation.She must have studied poison in the past.He even gave me a notebook of poison.

Return to the vessel room with the master and explain the situation while waiting for Basilio and the others.

It’s a poisonous fog.

Hmm, the master put his hand on his chin and thought about it.

“Yes, I’m thinking about building a preventive medicine, spraying the antidote around you, and having you wear a gas mask.”

“That’s true… but that’s quite a distraction.”Not only monsters, but also trees in the forest can get caught and distracted. ”

I was stuck in words as my master pushed me in.

Yeah, she’s right. That mask is pretty bulky.Because it’s shaped like a bird’s mouth — and I’m stuffing the mouth with medicinal herbs — if I swing my weapon, it might hit me.On the other hand, if you look at it from the opponent’s side, it would be more aggressive than ever.

You can make it a little lighter, but you should avoid using it deep in the woods, where the trees are lush and the scaffolding is poor.And then — maybe we should figure out a way to lure the monsters to the entrance of the forest, where a comparative venue would be open.

“I wish I could lure monsters to the entrance of the forest without the mask getting in the way to the minimum…”

“Are you going to lure me out with your favorite product…”

No, when I thought about it all together, I heard a voice from the people of Rustu and the surface of the water glowed.And it was Basilio and Iris who showed up.

I’m sorry to keep you waiting.

“Mr. Basilio, I’m sorry to bother you too.”

Apologizing, they both shook their heads.While grateful, I smiled at the synchro.

I first drew Julius’s painting close to the surface of the water.

Iris, do you know any monsters that resemble this picture?

I’ll try to find it.

I wonder if Iris had brought it with her. She spread the thick literature on her lap and rolled out the page.While she’s looking for me, I’m going to cut out Mr. Basilio to discuss the poison.

“There seems to be a toxic mist spreading in the forest.”The cause is probably the monster in this painting, but I think it can be solved by defeating it…. ”

Until then, you want to neutralize the poisonous fog somehow.

Speak quickly. I nodded to Mr. Basilio’s words.

Not only the antidote, but also the preventive medicine.

I found it! Maybe it’s this monster.

Not only Basilio, but Iris was quick.She raises her voice and brings the literature closer to the surface of the water.At that time, I noticed that Basilio was subtly supporting me.

Illustrations of the literature projected on the water’s surface are compared with the paintings of Julius at hand.There was a small difference, but its large wings, long hairs, hidden eyes, and splendid hooves were all in common.And above all, it has a poisonous purple color that is toxic to both the wings and the body.

It was probably the same monster.

“Exactly as pictured”

“I can’t see much, but I’m sensitive to the sound and smell.My favorite is the fruit of Naraka. ”

Iris scratches the literature and reads it out.

Wentle-sama said that she saw this monster wrapping around a poisonous fog.

Is it a monster that already has poison?

No, it’s quite resistant to poison, but it’s not a monster that can produce poison on its own.

“That means….”

Did you change your body to “yes” by the demon king?

I looked away from the surface of the water at the Master’s words and looked towards her.The master had an indescribable expression on his face.

It’s a cruel story, but it could be true.From the Demon King’s point of view, the monsters were nothing but pawns.It wouldn’t be strange to be able to forcefully change the way you make your body.

While staring at Julius’ painting, I think about my future moves.Anyway, I’m wasting my time.We have to move one second faster.

“For now, we need to figure out how to prepare the antidote and the prophylaxis.And if Naraka is your favorite, you might be able to lure it out with a scent. ”

The fruit of Naraka has a strong aroma.That’s why it was so easy to find this monster who was blind and liked to eat.If we use it, we might be able to lure them out to near the entrance to the forest.

Basilio and Iris nodded at me.

That’s right, the preparation method–

First, I decided to ask for the help of Master Basilio and Merzedes in formulating the antidote.Everyone’s a good mixer, three of us, we’re gonna make it.

Next, I asked Iris and the people of Rustu to help me find a way to lure out the monsters with the fruit of Naraka.This is Iris calling herself, but she relies on the experience and knowledge of the people of Rustu, who have been fighting monsters for a long time.

Julius raised his hand when it came to making the mask lighter.Alone in a hidden village, he is used to handling weapons and armor.It was tough on Rikishi alone, so it seemed that all the brave men, led by Vake, had cooperated and Leon had prepared a mask for the number of people who helped him.

(This is where the pressure comes in.)

In a second, the brave men could reach the Demon King.To that end, we ran day and night.
