Chapter 244: Shining Purification Elixir (1/2)
”By the way, teacher, do you have extra empty bottles?”
Professor Ronnie blinked his eyes at his unexpected question.
”Yeah, do you need some?” Perhaps the apprentice wanted to mix another medicine. He thought so.
”Did you come back here just to practice your alchemy skill?” Rea wanted to ask this, but she decided to remain quiet.
”Yeah. I have something I need to use them for.”
”Hm, okay. What specific size are you looking for?”
”Any will do…”
”.....”
”I see. Go check at the storeroom. There was an old closet there. Although it must be filled with dust by now, most of them were usable.”
Professor Ronnie and Rea were wondering what he was planning to do with empty bottles. Especially in this situation.
Although he could feel Rea's curious look, he did not waste time explaining and directly went to the storeroom after canceling the resonance with his deity.
Dust flew over after opening the beat-up door of the storeroom. Some of them invaded his nose. The smell of it was so awful.
A piece of wood stumbled over and caused a disturbing noise, but Yman disregarded it and scanned the room.
At the corner, he saw an old-looking closet. With traces of insects, sheltering on it for quite a long time. He then walked closer to it and touched the surface. He noticed his fingerprint left a mark on it. Damn dust! He thought so.
Yman thought, 'Sistela would probably creep out if she was a real human or a real fairy or something…”
”.....”
Sistela felt her partner was thinking something funny towards her. But she remained quiet.
Yman crouched down on his knee and noticed the closet was locked. ”My deity, can you ask the professor if he has the key.”
She then flew and passed by at Rea who came after them.
”Uh, Miss deity, where are you going?” Rea asked when she noticed Sistela.
”.....”
”I see.”
Sistela continued.
Yman, on the other hand, ”Damn, so dark,” he grumbled.
When he noticed Rea was behind him, he told her not to come inside as it was dusty. He joked that it wasn't good for a young noble beautiful lady to dirty herself in such a place. She blushed. Besides, it was so dark inside. And he was thinking that she might creep out if an insect suddenly came out. ”Fufufu.” Rea squinted when she heard his chuckle.
He laughed mischievously upon thinking what would be Rea's reaction if she creeped out. However, upon hearing him, it made Rea a little doubtful of his words. She wondered if he was just caring or making fun of her.
To show him that she wasn't the type of person he was thinking she was. She went inside.
However, after she took the first step, Rea stepped on the wood that fell a while ago. The wood rolled and made her lose her balance and stumble.
”KYAAAH!” A deafening yelped startled Yman. He quickly glanced and saw her about to fall.
Yman moved swiftly and was able to reach out her hand. He pulled her towards him. But because it happened so suddenly, he was pulling her in a little forceful way.
Rea was pulled by him and crashed onto him.
”Ngh!”A groan slipped from Yman's mouth when something hit his middle part.
”Aww!” Rea groaned as well.
”Sorry, a-are you okay?” Rea asked shyly. It was her fault, to begin with.
”R-Rea…”
For some reason, he was calling her in a shaky voice.
”What?”
”No. Don't move. I mean move. Wait, I mean don't!”
”What?!” Rea was puzzled by his words. She wondered if something happened to his head.
Rea then clenched her hand. She felt like her hand clenched to something.
”Ah—” Yman covered his mouth.
”Hey! Why are you moaning? So lewd!”
”I mean… stop clenching my—”
”Wait! Why is your hand twitching?” Rea asked as she tried to squeeze it.
”Ah—”
'Deym!' Yman shouted in mind. 'This is so not good!'
”Wait. Why does your hand grow bigger and harder?”
Rea was puzzled.
”No Rea! That's a wrong hand!” She screamed.
”??”
Just then, Sistela came in a rush. She heard a noise of a crash just now.
She asked and summoned Map Screen to illuminate the room with the slight brilliance it was producing.
”?!”
Everyone turned speechless after what they saw.
