112. Royal Appreciation (2)

First, we started by sharing the current situation.

“Thanks from the royal family… … .”

“Then should we hide somewhere else?”

At this news, the people of Frechden were worried.

It is natural.

Suddenly, he was placed in the center of the attention of the royal family of Aerokk.

The reason they set up near the border was to keep them as far away as possible from the eyes of the royal family of Aerokk. Because to the royal family, they were treated like some sort of rebel molecule.

Of course, the history is a thing of the distant past, but the fear of instinct that remains from the genetic level came over them.

“No, you don’t have to.”

It must have already been reported that they were accepting refugees, but if they disappear, it becomes a difficult situation in its own way.

“The fact that you are here is already known to the royal family. There is no need to leave your seat. You just have to live your life as usual.”

Anyway, they aren’t much of a problem.

I don’t really have any suspicious abilities.

the problem is… … .

– I’m the problem.

The shaman Anessa, whom she knows all too well.

He is the one who owns 99.9% of the secret held by Frehiden.

“The maiden will be fine, too.”

maybe.

After all, there is no reason to use the power of a shaman during the Thanksgiving period.

“Are you really okay? Well then, sending even Ronald for a while… … .”

“No, on the contrary, it could be more award-winning. Anything out of this mansion before the audit may seem like a sign of hiding.”

The biggest reason is this.

It may seem questionable to suddenly see something escaping from this mansion in the face of gratitude.

So I couldn’t get Anessa out, and I didn’t even think about it from the beginning.

“Please stay close to me during the thanksgiving period.”

There is a saying that it is dark under the lamp.

When gratitude comes, the one I deal with the most is probably me, the owner of this mansion. So rather than keeping Anessa aside, I’m keeping her by my side.

If I had to pick the highest presence in this mansion, it would be me who actually invested in the presence stat.

By my side, Anessa’s presence will fade.

That was the breakthrough I was aiming for.

“What do you think, Anessa-sama?”

-I’m OK.

“Aren’t you going to feel burdened?”

– It may be a little burdensome, but I trust you.

That’s my favorite stance. You trust me and follow me without needing to add.

With Anessa’s consent, the purpose of bringing them together was accomplished.

“That’s all I can tell you.”

Now turn towards the next target.

A laboratory located on one side of the mansion.

Towards another danger lurking there.

* * *

Victor in the lab was busy with his research.

He approached him, stirring the musty smell of drugs with his hand.

“There will be audits soon.”

Victor, who was concentrating, stopped his hand.

“thanks? Aren’t you saying thank you?”

“… … .”

Feeling the seriousness of my silence, Victor turned around.

The molten bone was conspicuous.

“Uh… … I guess you just came here to tell me anyway. As I am now, I will hold my breath without disturbing myself while doing my work. You just need to prepare for a few expected questions.”

Obviously, he’s quick-witted like a guy who’s been hiding most of his life.

Since the face has been changed, there is no reason to be found out. In addition, if it is properly explained that it is part of the preparation for the lecture for the next semester, the audit committee members will not be able to survive in this harsh environment for long.

“I trust you will do well.”

“It’s kind of tricking these bastards, it’s easier for me than breathing.”

It’s definitely a thought-provoking statement.

“And I work while eating my meals.”

Anyway, this guy is my assistant professor.

If we deal with the auditors with such ignorance, the image of a vicious professor who rolls fiercely without giving food will be overlaid.

Such a bad image could adversely affect appreciation.

Victor didn’t answer, but the expression on his face seemed to make sense.

“By the way, how is the research going?”

“… … At present, it is the first step in reducing side effects… … Match the dots and proceed… … there is.”

“Can you see?”

The guy who would normally have put on a vomit shoved the medicine he was preparing towards me.

“Look. I’m a little windy… … I will come and get you.”

“okay. Talk to the restaurant and grab a quick bite to eat.”

“Yeah… … I do that.”

After Viktor, who had gone out after he spoke strangely, moved his gaze to the subject of the study he had been looking at until just before.

A strange liquid in a glass bottle.

Even in real life, I had no knowledge of Victor’s research, which is an unfamiliar concept even here.

But ‘see’ you know.

Not in detail, but you can tell just by looking at it.

That doesn’t mean you can’t know the formula, but you can get a rough idea of what’s going on.

A new drug being prepared at the bizarre request of Professor Lucas von Kraus.

Completeness: 51%

[View more]

It’s like this.

The degree of completion was in the 40% range yesterday, but today it has increased to the 50% level.

Little by little, progress is being made.

‘for a moment.’

Then I noticed that something was added to the description window.

Let’s say that something that was not in the 40% range is more than 50% complete. The [More] item has been added.

‘Is there something?’

[A new notification has arrived.]

[Dodolkong sponsored 500G.]

[Dodolkong sponsored 100G.]

[Dodolkong sponsored 100G.]

[Gagyu sponsored 300G.]

At the same time, a notification window pops up.

It was clear that the readers also had the same curiosity as me.

I checked the view more items in anticipation that there might be some kind of strategy that would add to the completeness.

[Mysterious New Testament]

A new drug being prepared at the bizarre request of Professor Lucas von Kraus.

Completeness: 51%

It is effective when the degree of completion exceeds 50%.

Current Efficacy: It relaxes the muscles around the blood vessels present in the body, thereby expanding the blood vessels.

‘This… … .’

In an instant, I remembered the research I had done when modeling the character ‘pharmaceutical’ in my head.

A drug that exactly matches the effect shown in this window, its ingredient— comes to mind.

‘Sildenafil… … .’

To put it by a more familiar name, Viagra.

Viktor unintentionally created Viagra.

* * *

“Whew… … .”

Victor had no way to hide his growing emotions.

‘And I work while eating my meals.’

A simple greeting that has no meaning.

But to Victor, it was something he had never heard of since his mother died.

And worry about food was a concern that his mother always wore.

It was a moment that reminded me of my mother, who passed away as a child.

How long has it been since you felt the warmth of a human?

Especially after being completely engulfed by drugs, no one was around. couldn’t put

To him, this meaningless greeting from Lucas was deeply engraved on him.

Unable to hide the rising emotions, he went outside.

Even at that moment, Lucas’ worries about food followed.

He almost sobbed, but he barely endured it and went out of the lab.

The fresh air that came in with a squeak changed my mood.

After taking a few deep breaths, I finally calmed down.

However, I still do not dare to return to the laboratory.

Because I don’t want to break emotionally until I rip that damn Laonis to death.

The day I met his corpse.

I will release the emotions that have been stagnant that day.

For now, I’ll just burn a cigarette and shake it off.

He ignited the lighter by flowing magic power, and sucked it in deeply.

‘Damn it.’

It wasn’t refreshing at all.

After a while, I see Lucas coming out of the lab.

Victor hurriedly rubbed the cigarette out.

“I want to know the completeness by now. Can you see the effect?”

“Yeah, what. It is not difficult.”

“Then please.”

“Yes.”

Seeing Lucas away, he went into the lab.

As Lucas said, I am thinking of refining what I have completed so far and examining the effect.

The effect that Lucas ordered won’t happen yet.

However, you can check how close it is to completion.

Magical energy was poured into the studied liquid.

The ingredients and effects of this liquid were passed on to Victor.

“Uh, huh?”

became upright.

The guy who lost his function due to drug addiction.

“Uh-huh, uh-huh!”

He groaned and checked again.

was still upright.

“Uh-huh!”

He collapsed, in a different sense.

Preparations for the audit are steadily progressing.

There was nothing leaking from the living quarters of this mansion, so it was only necessary to be careful with the people of Frehidden and Victor.

Still, just in case, I looked through the auditing materials by hand.

It could be roughly grasped by ‘looking into’ like Viktor’s research.

It was perfect.

The internal preparations are almost complete.

What remains is the ‘external’ element.

This audit is a regular audit.

In other words, besides this mansion, all the residences owned by the royal family in the vicinity are the object of gratitude.

If you’re a military writer, you’re probably familiar with this situation.

four heat.

It is the most annoying and requires the most preparation.

The real headache of inspection isn’t what’s inside.

Stop filling in the gaps.

The real headache is an outside ally.

In other words, those in the same situation are the most terrifying.

I wonder if there is a big human who robbed Lucas’ mansion, but don’t be vigilant.

Although basic security exists, they alone are not reassuring.

Additional expenses must be allocated.

However, there are no troops to use as security in this mansion.

What I’ve been given is a mansion.

This is because the noble nobles are not allowed to own private soldiers.

But you can’t keep your employees at your expense.

Because their roles are completely different.

There is no way.

Right away-

Johannes’ specimen obtained from Mt. Mynes.

“Come out.”

The ring of Johannes answered my call.

Four specimens appeared, Effie, Sylphy, Rooney, and Balro.

These four are enough.

Originally, the reason Noel was able to claim to be a one-man corps in <Ah.Cheon.Man> was because of these four animals.

“Anyone who approaches this mansion without my permission must be expelled in moderation.”

They answered with their own cries and moved to each location on their own.

Sylphy, the old bird, flew high into the sky and looked around the whole house, and Lee, the cat, climbed the wall and looked around as if for a walk, Rooney the seal went into the pond inside the mansion, and the dog stood proudly at the front door.

He looked serious to carry out my orders in his own way, but because of his cute shape, he looked like a trivial pug.

In particular, since Balo had to mix with the guards, he immediately became the center of attention.

Rather, the result was that the guards were lax, but it doesn’t matter.

Like I said, each one of them will outperform all of those guards.

* * *

The night was deep.

Someone was secretly approaching the mansion.

‘I’m sure this place was perfectly prepared.’

They were the employees of the other mansion, which had a regular audit season.

We have already received the news that Lucas’ mansion is perfectly prepared for the audit.

Usually, it’s normal if it’s not enough because the owners of the mansion skip it.

They are currently in such a state.

Their owners aren’t the only ones at risk as a result of the audit.

They too may lose their jobs or be punished.

In such a case, it is a kind of custom to get help (?) from a mansion that can afford it.

Of course, taking advantage of the darkness to get help secretly.

“👀”

The moment you climb over the wall you are used to.

“yes?”

Something small and cute fluff caught my eye.

At the same time-

Whoa!

A huge fire blazed towards him.

“Uh-huh!”

I barely managed to get sparks on my clothes. But at the same time, a huge wind blew, and in an instant the spark became a fire. I quickly fell down the wall and rolled over into the pond.

Cheeky-!

The fire that covered the body was quickly quenched, but-

“Ugh!”

It’s obviously a shallow pond, but my feet can’t reach it.

It feels like something is constantly pulling you down.

The moment you are about to suffocate,

Whoa whoa!

A huge stream of water spewed out and thrown out of the pond.

“Ugh… … .”

The moment he regained his consciousness and was about to get up, a ball of brown cotton approached from afar.

In an instant, the ground began to tremble as if drunk, and he could not even get up properly.

“Uh-huh!”

He could not comprehend this strange phenomenon.

I hurriedly tried to climb the wall again, but the wall was so hot that I couldn’t even touch it.

The earth is murky, the walls are hot, and the pond is as deep as an abyss.

He has only one choice.

“Save people!”

All I can do is put my head down and cry.

During the week, there were piles of employees from other mansions who wandered from this mansion without knowing it.

* * *

“Master, the auditor has completed the audit of the former mansion and is heading here.”

“Are you finally here?”

The butler informed that the inspector had almost arrived at this mansion.

First of all, as the owner of the mansion, the first thing you should do is welcome the auditor.

He adjusted his clothes and approached the entrance of the mansion.

What will the four spirits do about the things that come from there? I looked back, but he stopped me with a hand gesture.

Over there, the latest high-end carriages that passed through the entrance of the mansion begin to appear.

It’s not glamorous

Soon the carriage stops right in front of me.

Click-

The door opens, and the inspector appears.

‘This gentleman… … .’

I knew it before I even got off the carriage.

“It’s been a while, Count Lucas.”

The first person to notice a large wart on the ear.

This person who appeared as an auditor-

Damn it, the King of Aerokk, Romero.

it was myself
