Chapter 49. Dekan's Sister from Another Mother

Since we had just learned it, I had a deep impression of every step of making the antidote.

And Mi'e was at the side helping me prepare the necessary materials.

What surprised me was that Mi'e's preparation completely matched my intentions, making my work twice as effective with half the effort.

However, she seemed to always observe me from a close distance whenever she was free.

Although my mind was always very focused, Mi'e's movements would affect my concentration.

The sense of danger brought by the scent would stimulate my nerves from time to time.

The fragrance from just now seemed to be not just her body scent, but also a special medicinal fragrance.

Like... the feeling of the sleep gas I made myself?

Although I didn't know what its effect was.

But it was definitely not good.

I secretly used purification magic on myself a few times.

......

"It's done so easily. It seems we have good chemistry."

Mi'e said with a smile.

With their cooperation, the two of them successfully produced the antidote in less than ten minutes.

"A clean finish!"

I tidied up the experiment table, looking like I wanted to leave quickly.

"By the way, Dekan, I heard you're a card-making genius?"

Mi'e was also tidying up at the side and asked.

"It's all undeserved praise."

I said faintly.

It seemed that the news of me making an epic card in the third-rank exam had already spread rapidly in the Royal Capital.

"Hoho, I don't know who's giving you undeserved praise, but you praised Princess Iris until she cried."

"How did even this news get out?"

I couldn't help but take a serious look at Mi'e.

I thought those few deacons shouldn't dare to gossip.

And Teresia wouldn't possibly spread Iris' embarrassing story everywhere.

Mi'e seemed to have seen through my confusion, and after a meaningful silence, she finally spoke, "Iris lives next door to me. Yesterday, she cried to me for a long time, her eyes were all swollen."

“......”

Hearing this from Mi'e's mouth made me feel a little guilty.

Actually, to be honest, that silly princess was a good person, at least a straightforward one.

Not only did she not try to make money off me, but she also didn't want me to owe her any favors.

Actually, the main reason she couldn't make money was that there was a problem with her card-making skills.

Using so many materials, even if the card was successfully made, there was basically no profit to be made.

Unfortunately, seeing Iris' appearance at that time, I really couldn't resist teasing her a bit.

"Is Iris okay?"

"She's fine, it was just hard on me, comforting her for a long time. I also told her not to tell her royal brother and the king about this, otherwise you'd be in trouble, Dekan."

“......Then thank you very much.”

"So how are you going to thank me?"

"If you want something, just ask quickly. The opportunity to make me owe you a favor is rare."

"Then please let down your guard against me."

"That's the only thing that's impossible."

"You're so mean. I'm being so sincere with you."

"Sincere? I think even if Iris would cry to you, she wouldn't tell you the embarrassing details so explicitly, right?"

I raised an eyebrow. I had long suspected that Mi'e was bluffing.

"Oh my, you found out."

Mi'e was not flustered at all, pressing a fingertip to her red lips and smiling slightly.

"Hmph."

I wanted to leave crisply, picked up my books, and walked away without looking back.

Mi'e didn't try to keep me, but just said from behind him, "Are you interested in poison making?"

"How could I be? What decent person refines poison all day."

Although my footsteps paused slightly, I continued to walk away.

"You borrowed Poison Refining ① and ②, didn't you?"

Mi'e's light voice echoed in the quiet classroom.

I finally stopped my steps to leave and turned back to look at Mi'e.

I saw Mi'e pick up a book and wave it at me. It was precisely Poison Refining ③.

My brow furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed.

What followed was a smile from the bottom of my heart.

Mi'e also smiled frankly.

Our eyes met, and we knew we were kind-hearted people.

It was a feeling of meeting a friend through a book.

You should have said so earlier.

As long as you like poison refining, you are my family.

What's wrong with a little joke?

Me: "Shall we study some more together?"

Mi'e: "No problem."

The sense of distance between the two of them seemed to disappear in an instant.

Like two like-minded researchers, they sat at the experiment table, preparing the equipment again while exchanging ideas.

Mi'e: "Don't you think it's a pity to only make an antidote for the poison just now?"

Me: "Do you have other ideas?"

Mi'e: "We can create an anti-antidote to improve the poison. The weakness of this new type of poison is that it's too easy to neutralize. As long as we can successfully improve it, it will be perfect."

Me: "Great minds think alike. I can also analyze the toxin and incorporate its principles into poison magic for card making."

Mi'e: "Hehe, I also have some self-created poison magic and potion formulas, but unfortunately I'm not good at card making. If it's with you, maybe we can make some interesting cards together."

Me: "Then what are we waiting for? We have to achieve something today, no leaving before it gets dark."

......

The sky was slightly red, and the potions classroom was already a bit dim.

Only the two of them were left in the empty classroom.

There was an atmosphere that was quite suggestive.

But they were both very focused and didn't notice this strange atmosphere.

After entering a state of research, even Mi'e became exceptionally serious.

"Knock, knock!"

"You need to leave this classroom now."

It wasn't until a teacher from the Alchemy Academy came to the door and reminded the two of them that they raised their heads and looked around, realizing the classroom was already empty.

And their stomachs seemed a little hungry too.

It's really easy to lose track of time when you're doing something you're interested in, especially when you have a like-minded good partner by your side.

"Looks like this is all for today."

I sighed and reluctantly put down the refining bottle in my hand.

The classroom and laboratory would soon be locked up.

After all, this wasn't a library. It stored many potions, so the control was stricter.

On Saturdays and Sundays, without a teacher on duty, it would not be open to students either.

"But our research is at a critical point, isn't it?"

Mi'e said with a frown.

Me: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Mi'e: "Come to my room. I've converted the storage room into a potions laboratory. If you have nothing else to do today, you can stay until night."

I asked with some hesitation, "Stay until night?"

Since Mi'e always had a smile on her face, I really couldn't figure out this person's thoughts.

Mi'e asked back, "I don't mind, do you mind?"

I: “......”

Mi'e: "How can our scientific spirit be abandoned halfway?"

Me: "That's true. Let's go!"
