Chapter 1999 - Haru Needs To Be Prepared (1/2)

His battle with both Kou and the Wiseman was short, or rather, it only took him a few moments to end both of them and what took his time was just the time Kou took to revive Wiseman and also the time Kou laughed, thinking that he had won.

However, their battle ended so shortly, and Haru returned quickly together with Nina, who also followed him since she didn't have any place to go and she had just awoken, so she didn't know much about what had happened when she was sealed together with Wiseman and who Haru was?

”I'm going to take a bath. You can wait in the living room,” Haru said.

”Wait! Let me go with you!” Nina quickly said.

”......” Haru looked at Nina strangely.

”What? Are you shy?” Nina asked with a smile.

”.......”

Haru looked at Nina and knew that based on her age, she could be called his grandma, but looking at her size, which wasn't much different from an action figure, he felt a bit complicated. ”Well, I don't mind.”

Both of them went to his hot spring and rested there lazily.

”How comfortable...” Nina said with a sigh, resting her body on the small wooden basket that was prepared by Haru.

”Right?” Haru also nodded, but inside, he was thinking about the alchemist knowledge that he had just stolen from both Kou and the Wiseman.

Nina looked at Haru and had to admit that this guy was so handsome. She was wondering whether she could return to her normal body size that way... Cough! Cough!

”By the way, what's your name?” Nina asked since she didn't know who Haru's name was or rather she didn't know anything about him.

”My name is Kasugano Haruka.” Haru looked at Nina and said, ”You're Nina Adelard, the Great Alchemist, right?”

”That's right!” Nina nodded and felt a bit proud since her name was known by Haru. She then looked at Haru, and truth to be told, she was curious who he was, but she also didn't want to be rude too much, especially when he was so strong. Even though she hid it well, she was afraid that she might disappear just like Kou and Wiseman, but she had to admit that even she was afraid, she also felt comfortable and his face was so handsome...

”If you have something to ask, then just ask, but I'll also ask you a question.” Haru looked at Nina and said, ”Equivalent exchange, right?” Based on the story that he had watched in the past, the principle of the alchemist was an equivalent exchange. Not sure if it was similar in this world, though.

Haru might have learned various magic in this world, but he had never put his eyes on the alchemist since it was so rare to see an alchemist, and there was only a limited number of alchemists in this world. Their knowledge was only circulated to a limited number of people, and he was also too lazy to get them since he didn't know how strong it was until he saw how Kou's memory.

Haru had to admit that an alchemist was strong, and he wanted to learn it. He had gotten the knowledge of both Wiseman and Kou, but the Great Alchemist was right in front of him, and wasn't it too wasteful not to learn something from her?

As for stealing Nina's knowledge, Haru didn't have that idea since Nina was a beautiful woman.

”Oh!” Nina was surprised that Haru knew the principle of the alchemist, so she nodded with a smile and asked, ”You want me to teach you the alchemist?”

”Is it so easy to guess?” Haru asked.

”Of course.” Nina nodded with a smile and felt that it was normal for Haru to know her instantly when he saw her since he was interested in alchemy. ”I don't mind teaching you, but can I ask you a lot of questions?”
