«Don't touch him, please!» – the extrely annoyed Elsa repeated loudly, stopping Rose at the last mont.
«But he dared to address you informally! Besides, this disgusting pig thinks his ti is worth more than my girlfriend's! After such an insult, even master Feng won't mind if I finish him off!»
Elsa really didn't want to say the following words, but she was left with no choice: «He can talk to informally because I lost a bet to him. Is that clear?»
The audience sighed convulsively.
Rose swayed, discouraged: «Ah…»
«As for the value of ti, he just joked badly. Dick is an idiot.»
«Yes, that's for sure…» – Valentine agreed listlessly.
With great difficulty, Elsa managed to protect Baker: «In general, I promised master Feng to protect him for one month, so don't touch him, okay?»
«I will try.»
Soon Kyon went into one of the tents with ingredients and began listing what was needed: «Sunny rainbow flower, two stems. Sumr dandelion brown, two hundred grams. A shining caterpillar, mature, three pieces, and preferably hairy. Sakura sap, fifty milliliters. Rember? I won't repeat it. You're a smart girl, you have to deal with it.»
{Can you keep your big mouth shut?!} – Elsa was angry to herself.
{What the hell is going on here…} – Rose and the others wondered. From the outside, it looked as if the girl was Dick's assistant, and not the other way around, which makes no sense, because who is she, and who is he? Proud lioness and disabled mole. And even such a comparison would be too flattering for the fat man.
Kyon was buying ingredients in order to prepare for the eting with Juno today. If he had ordered the ingredients through the Golden Pig guild, they would have flown to him for 3-4 days, or even a week. In addition, he forced the first most popular student of the order to sponsor all his purchases, and in front of her boyfriend. Stone's fans can only dream of this.
By the way, it is not illegal for other people to pay the expenses of the ssenger of the goddess. It's not even formally blackmail, which ans that the conditions of the zero general are not violated.
A minute later, Elsa paid for the purchases and handed them to the fat man. Looking again at what she had bought, she wondered: {Why does he need so many ingredients with a high content of "yang"?}
«Thank you. You know, girls often give expensive presents, trying to win my favor, so you'll have to try hard to surpass the others.» – Lovr winked playfully.
{No, please… Not again…} – Elsa was seriously afraid of going crazy.
«Well, this is unacceptable! I'll beat all the arrogance out of him!» – Rose was furious again.
Stone overca herself and stopped Valentine: «He just doesn't have a sense of humor…»
«And isn't there a penalty for idiotic jokes addressed to the gentlen?!»
«There is no point in punishing the poor…» – the lady smiled sourly.
«And that's right… Ha-ha…» – Rose forced a laugh. – «And yet, how to understand all this?!»
«Master Feng asked to help Baker choose dicine, because he himself is not able to do it: his eyesight is bad, and he is clumsy…»
«Hmm… I agree. Okay, let's go, help choose a couple of things.» – touching the wasp waist of the beauty, Rose led her to another tent. Spending ti with his cute girlfriend is a real pleasure.
«Elsa, why don't you help choose an alchemy kit? After all, I have a token of master Feng…» – Kyon did not fail to mock his sister.
«No!» – the girl said with hysterical notes in her voice and walked away with her boyfriend.
{Does he have a token of master Feng?!} – Rose and the others were surprised once again.
Kyon entered the tent with alchemy kits.
The eyes of the seller, who saw the master token in the hands of the fat man, glistened greedily. The fact is that the alchemist-master will be obliged to pay in full for any product purchased for the token, no matter how much it costs. A great opportunity to earn extra money.
«Young sir, you are very lucky today! An amazing alchemical kit was brought to us from Saturn! One of a kind! Just look at it!»
The seller took out the alchemy kit, literally glowing from the delight. There is dark volcanic glass with the highest affinity for elental energy, and vessels of ideal shapes and sizes. The quality of each individual elent exceeded the permissible limits, as did the price.
The loud voice of the seller reached Elsa's ears. An unbearable curiosity seized her imdiately. Unable to bear it, she whispered to the guy: «I just rembered that I need an alchemy kit… Let's see what is there!»
«Um… Okay, let's go…» – Rose frowned suspiciously. Sothing told him that she just wanted to see what Dick would choose for himself.
The high-born couple, followed by a crowd of boys and girls, went into another tent. The alchemical kit of incredible beauty appeared to the eyes of those who entered.
A lump stuck in Elsa's throat: {How delightful! And will he get it for free?!}
«Oh, and what rank is it?» – Kyon deliberately asked, showing off in public, although he already knew that it was "B ".
«"A" rank, sir! You won't find them anywhere in Rosarrio! Alchemy kits of "A" rank are used only by alchemists of the 2nd rank and higher! You are very lucky!»
{"A" rank?! Are you kidding?! He doesn't deserve it!} – Elsa gritted her teeth in frustration.
{Not even "A-" rank, but "A" rank? A vile, lying huckster. But you are playing into my hands.} – thought Lovr and threw a token to the man with a light wave of his hand. – «I'm buying!»
«It's a pleasure to do business with you, young master! Thank you for your purchase!»
As soon as Kyon took the alchemy kit in his hands, a lodious voice was heard from behind:
«Wait! I want to buy it!»
There was no limit to the surprise of the students and Rose watching this scene.
Realizing that this was said by an unsurpassed genius and the best student of master Feng, the seller gaped dumbfounded. How can he refuse such a famous lady? It could end badly! He must please such an important person, no matter what the cost.
Turning to the fat custor, the man cleared his throat dryly and unceremoniously held out his hand: «Please return the alchemical kit. I sold it to you by mistake. It belongs to Lady Elsa and only to her. Here is your token.»
«Really?» – Kyon was surprised by the brazenness of the shaless seller, and Elsa too.
The girl smiled rapaciously to herself. Authority is everything. Know your place, fat man.
«Hurry up and give the alchemy kit!» – the seller demanded more rudely.
Kyon pulled out and activated the visual recording nephrite to record the scene just in case, then asked: «Remind , why on earth should I give you the alchemy kit that I already bought for the master token?»
«I told you I sold it by mistake! If you want, I'll pay you an additional ten thousand points for moral damage. Now give the damn kit! Lady Elsa needs it more!»
«How long do I have to wait?» – Elsa gloatingly added fuel to the fire.
Kyon looked into the girl's mocking eyes and chuckled coldly: «Three hundred thousand points of moral compensation, and I will give the kit, otherwise you will not get anything from .»
The seller coughed from such impudence: «The kit itself costs three hundred thousand! Why don't you go to hell, fatty?!» – he shouted without a shred of forr respect.
«Baker, it would be better for you to give the set voluntarily.» – Rose said unkindly.
Elsa crossed her arms and watched the events unfold with pleasure. She was most curious about the possible reaction of her brilliant rival in such an extraordinary situation.
«And if I don't, what will you do? Will you take it away by force?»
«Then I'll take it away by force, moron.» – Rose grinned, releasing the pressure.
«Are you really so stupid that you don't understand who is in front of you?! If you give her the alchemical kit, then you will please the first student of the order, thereby acting very wisely!» – the seller tried to reason with the stubborn man.
«You all don't seem to understand sothing…» – Kyon shook his index finger, completely ignoring the pressure. – «If people break into my house and demand my underpants, and then justify it by saying that so lady wanted to sll them, will I have to obey? No, I'll send everyone to hell!»
The people around were stunned by what they heard. The example given by Dick in relation to Elsa was highly offensive, as if he was seriously comparing this situation with the girl's attempt to steal and sll his underpants.
Elsa could not understand whether she should be indignant or not. Imagination drew an obscene picture where big n in black forcibly took Dick's underwear away from him, and then so girl (not her) sniffs her prey with pleasure… This instantly made Stone giggle hysterically to tears. She couldn't stop, no matter how hard she tried.
Rose was about to explode with rage, but the lodious laughter of the beauty brought him to reason.
A full minute passed before the lonely giggling suddenly stopped.
Everyone was looking at the blonde with strange expressions on their faces, and everyone was thinking about sothing different.
Elsa wiped away her tears, feeling guilty: why was she the only one laughing?! It's so funny! She could only hope that others would not think that all this was sohow connected with her interest in Baker. It's absurd, right?
The first shoots of doubt began to creep into Rose's soul.
«So you're not going to give away the kit? Then I have no choice!» – the rchant said decisively and tried to take the kit by force, but sothing went wrong…
~crunch~
The fat man fell to the floor and smashed the precious alchemy kit to pieces with his body.
The rchant was horrified.
The audience goggled in amazent.
Stone's fans hissed furiously: «Oh, you fat bastard, you broke Lady Elsa's kit! Are you completely fucked up?!» … «Lady Elsa, let us turn him into a chop! He crossed every line! He insulted you!»
Rose's fists crunched with tension. There was a clear thirst for blood in his eyes. Dick exasperated him more and more. He should have been killed in the Grand's palace.
«Boys, please, curb your ardor… I'm sure Dick didn't break it on purpose. Besides, he already paid for it with the token, so he probably regrets his loss.» – Stone explained her position politely and affectionately.
{Snake, you didn't want to get it just out of envy.} – Lovr ntally snorted.
«Oh, Lady Elsa, you are a real saint in the flesh!» … «There is no lady more beautiful and kinder than you!» … «Fatty, say thank you that the soul of Lady Elsa is so pure and imnse that she does not know how to take offense at fools!»
«Don't you really hold a grudge against him?» – Rose whispered incredulously.
«No, I don't.» – Stone answered shortly.
{What nonsense… Did she just want Dick not to get the notorious kit? Why is he getting so much attention?!} – the guy was lost in guesses. After all, if the fat man was worthless to his betrothed, then she would simply not care about him.
Elsa was disappointed by Baker's cool reaction. In fact, she just wanted to take revenge on him for humiliating her in front of the master by improving the dicine of a unique body, although he could not do it: no one forced him. He purposely showed how big the gap between their skills was, so it served him right.
«You're glad I didn't get this kit, aren't you?» – Kyon asked dryly, standing up and brushing the debris off his pants.
Elsa rolled her eyes and walked gracefully to the exit. From the back, with her impeccable posture, she resembled a supre angel who spread the wings before takeoff.
Rose suspected that Dick and Elsa had known each other for a long ti. Too many hints.
Lovr mockingly told her: «I have to open your eyes: the equipnt of an alchemist is just a tool. Skills are the most important thing. And my skills will always be better than yours, no matter how hard you try to surpass .»
«Watch your tongue, you bastard!» … «Have you no fear?!» … «Lady Elsa is the best alchemist in the order! You're worthless next to her, you damned windbag!»
{What nonsense is he talking about…} – Rose did not understand.
«We'll see.» – Elsa said, confusing the others.
The rumor that Dick has surpassed Elsa will not spread imdiately.
Kyon headed ho, along the way sending the master a visual recording of how the rchant tries to take the alchemy kit from him and it breaks. This will serve as a good reason not to pay for the broken property. The rchant will pay for his stupidity in full.
As for the lost alchemy kit of "B " rank, for Kyon it was just a prop for the performance. There is no better kit than the one that the alchemist will create from his own elent of the earth (which only Lovr can afford because of his knowledge of chemistry). Roughly speaking, he can create a kit of "SSS" rank at any ti, which no one but him can use because of the incompatibility of energies.
And now it's ti to make dicine with a high content of "yang" and go to Juno.
