***
It seed to be a reminder ssage to guide the progress of the quest.
.
Lelia, who had been agonizing for a while, and soon ca up with a good idea. She turned her eyes and floated a list of recipes, then glanced over.
[There is!]
The recipe that Lelia ca up with was a reduction potion.
It was a special item that could freely adjust the size of a particular item. Fortunately, there was only one ingredient needed to make it. It was a valuable potion in its own way because it contained a special ingredient.
[Do I want this or not?]
[If you give it to hi, itll solve Kalixs problem right away.]
[What if hes suspicious?]
[You may be questioned by Kalix.]
[I dont think hell be suspicious because hes simple.]
Lelia worked up her courage as she pondered.
I have a potion that can adjust the size of any item you want. If you need it
Really? Give it to ! Give!
As soon as she finished speaking, Kalix reacted. As expected, Kalix was very simple.
Lelia proceeded with the create button and took the finished dicine out of her inventory. Kalix was handed a potion that she pretended to take out of a bag.
Its also sothing that the people who raised got for
Lets do it, lets do it!
Kalix didnt even hear Lelias excuse. There was not a hint of doubt on his face. Rather, he cast doubt on the efficacy.
The sword wont break, will it?
Thats not going to happen.
After her response, Kalix sprayed the potion right on the sword. Surprisingly, the giant sword was reduced to the size of a dagger. Kalix watched the scene with sparkling eyes, and dawning admiration.
But how can I make it big again?
You can command it whenever you want.
The sword, which had been reduced to the size of a dagger, returned to its original size.
Kalix looked at the sword with an awed expression and turned to Lelia.
I originally liked alchemy.
.
I dont know who the alchemist is, but please introduce . Its going to be useful.
I dont know who it is.
Lelia vaguely glossed over her answer.
Kalix found it interesting to repeatedly see the sword shrink and expand.
Then, a rectangular speech bubble appeared.
Quest complete! *.().* Rewards are received!

Then another quest window appeared.
Raise your preference for !
Quest story progress: 10%
Lelia accepted imdiately and moved on to the item list.
[I have to increase my likability anyway, so Ill have to use the Confirmation of Favorability ticket later.]
First, she pressed on the Lv. 1 random gift box.
She opened the box with anticipation, but only a few useless ingredients ca out.
[I knew this would happen.]
Disappointed, Lelia clicked on the one Alchemy Lottery ticket she received as a reward. A small notification window was displayed.
The alchemy lottery is only available when the special store is open! The special store opens after the sub-quest is complete. ()
[Whats the sub-quest again?]
The situation is already complicated, but she felt like she was getting a migraine from trying to keep track of the ga.
Then there was a knock on the door.
She checked through the peephole, and it was Roo.
When she opened the door, Roo asked as he ca in.
Its a failure, right?
.
Lelia nodded with a sullen look on her face.
Roo, who paused for a mont at her expression, clicked his tongue as if he knew that would happen.
So what now?
Well do just as Roo said.
Wait.
What?
Sitting across from Kalix, Roo glanced back and forth at her and Kalix.
Thats weird.
Roo muttered.
What?
Kalix was brusquely replying and while wiping off the smaller dagger.
Roo looked at it and looked at Lelia again.
Didnt you call Kalix brother?
.
Why am I Roo? Im the only one who feels distant.
Lelia clasped her fist.
Dont tell you want to hear that title, too!
Id rather just call you by your first na without the word brother. Why are you biased against ? Why are you bullying ?
Roo asked with sad eyes; I would like to hear you call brother, but why are you picking a fight with ? Ive always wanted a brother like Leo!
Roo snorted when Kalix got angry.
Then let call you brother? Kalix muttered, to try and stop Roo from talking nonsense.
Well, thats not bad, but shes a woman.
Lelia didnt want this conversation to continue, and stepped in.
We dont have ti to discuss such useless things. What can I do to enter the Imperial Castle as Roos distant relative?
Roo replied in a nonchalant manner to her words.
Thats a no-go. There was a commotion at the Palace, and I found out that the Emperor was looking for a woman. A woman with green eyes.
!
Lelia sighed with frustration.
She wore the robes hood so deeply that he only saw her eyes.
[I thought youd think it was a dream because you were drunk]
As soon as Roo ca in, she thought there was a reason why he was so sure of her failure.
There is only one way to get into the Imperial Palace now without being suspected of this situation.
What is it?
Lelia looked at Roo with little hope. The corners of his mouth went up.
You can go in dressed up as a man.
!
Lelia opened her mouth wide in surprise. Kalix laughed mockingly.
Dressing up as a man? Her? Whatever you do, shell look like a woman.
[No, its not impossible.]
Lelia blinked her eyes.
If the emperor was looking for a green-eyed woman, there was no more sure way.
She suddenly thought of it because they talked about dressing up as a man, but there was definitely such a dicine in the recipe of the Alchemy Lottery.
[A drug that disguises her as a man.]
The recipe has been in the ga since her past life. It was an item for an NPC called Danger Lupin, one of the custors of the Alchemy Lottery store.
It was a drug specially requested by Lupin, who hid their gender, age, na. They hid everything
When the vial is opened, invisible smoke flows out.
The smoke makes the other person see an illusion and makes them see what Lelia wants them to see. It could be viewed as a kind of hypnosis. It was a recipe that was useful because it gave her a lot of experience and money.
There were many drugs in the sa class, such as a drug that makes you look like a woman, a child, an old man, or even a turtle.
However, the duration was very short. At most it lasted about 10 minutes.
Therefore, it wasnt possible to continuously live as another person, but it seed that it could be used as a way to solve the current issue to hide her from suspicion.
[Then Ill have to use a wig or sothing like that]
Lelia pondered whether there were more items that could be used as disguises in the Alchemy Lottery.
[It should be able to change my hair or eye color . There were so many recipes that I had to look for more.]
Its a good idea!
Really?
Roo asked as if he was surprised by Lelias strong agreent.
He said it as a joke, but when she took it seriously, there was also a look of embarrassnt.
I am going to change my hair color and make it shorter with magic. The sa goes for eye color. By the way, that drug was given to by the people who raised after saving
[Editor: This excuse is not going to keep working Lelia]
So
Before Lelia could finish speaking, Roo responded by waving his hand dismissively, as if it was annoying to hear detailed explanations.
[Im glad Griffith isnt here. Had he been there, he would have imdiately suspected of being an alchemist]
Lelia let out an internal sigh of relief as she looked at the two n who were so simple.
***
This is my distant relative, his na is Raymond Le Vester. Were as close as real brothers.
Roo casually introduced Lelia to the Count, a valet of the Imperial Castle of Auraria.
Oh, it is an honor to et you, Sir Raymond. I hope you enjoy a peaceful trip in Auraria.
Nice to et you.
The Le Vester family was actually the na of an aristocratic family in the Roseberry Empire.
Fortunately, there were no nobles from the Roseberry Empire currently staying in the Auraria Imperial Castle.
Only Roo, from the royal family.
So Roo took it easy and actually let her use one of his distant relatives nas. He smiled awkwardly at Lelia, he seed to feel uncomfortable with her disguise.
Arent you laughing a little?
Roo frowned as he headed to the room the attendant was guiding them to.
Lelia glanced at him slightly and followed the Count.
In the morning, Lelia was perfectly prepared. Roo ca to pick her up, and she arrived at the Palace in a carriage. The attendant kindly ca out and showed her to her place of residence.
Since Roo is a prince of a foreign country, it seed that he was trying to get Lelia treated with great care because of her allegiance.
If you have any inconvenience or needs, you can instruct the maids
By the way, the atmosphere of the Imperial Palace is a bit chaotic. Whats going on?
Roo asked calmly with a bemused expression. The Count seed a little perturbed.
He raised his eyebrows into a mountain shape and put his palms on his chest and said, Its not a big deal. There was a little commotion. As you know, yesterday was the last day of the banquet . Im sorry to have bothered you, Your Highness.
Roo nodded his head, saying it was okay.
When the Count left and they were left alone in the room, Lelia breathed a sigh of relief.
Its right next to my room.
Thats fortunate.
Roo sat down on the sofa in the parlor. Not long after, Kalix also ca to this room.
Lelia drank tea brought by the maid. She sat on the chair next to the sofa the other two were sitting on.
I think we can just pretend that were going for a walk. Today I will go alone.
Because of what happened yesterday, she wasnt sure if the security was tightened. The emperor might be there again. From what she had heard, it seems that only the castle gate has been strengthened. Just in case, she wanted to double check.
It would be better for her to move carefully by herself.
If sothing happens, she could use the alchemy, but if she uses it openly in front of Kalix or Roo They might question whether shes an alchemist.
Will you be okay?
Yes.
When Lelia answered more sternly, Roo nodded his head in agreent.
By the way What do you plan to do after you find it?
Roo asked while elegantly holding up a teacup.
Personally I have sothing else to look for. Why are you asking that?
Im bored, so Im going to follow you.
Roo said very proudly. Kalix, who was sitting opposite to her, also nodded his head.
Lelia suddenly rembered her childhood. She ca out of her own room from ti to ti, and Roo kept following her.
I dont even need to go back to my ho country.
Im the sa as you.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Lelia had a strange feeling.
It felt like a dream to be able to laugh and chat with her friends again, but at the sa ti she was frustrated.
[I cant get things done quickly with them]
These two were openly interfering with her plan to find materials and steal the relic.
By the way, its amazing that you can change your hair color. Your voice seems a little low too. said Roo, looking at Lelias hair.
