Strongest Alchemist System
Chapter 14: The first friendship
“Shinomiya-san, have I taken everything you asked for? Is this enough?”
“Thank you, I think I need a few more.”
“Shinomiya-san, this is the item you want, I have got it.”
“Good, just put it in situ.”
“Shinomiya-san, can you please see this too!”
“Yeah, briefly.”
I checked a sack containing the items I asked for. Looking at all those items, I nodded in satisfaction.
“This is enough, thank you,” I said to the Elf who delivered the goods, he lowered his head once and then went to help others.
“You look very busy.”
When I was putting all those items into my [Item Box], suddenly an Elf man came up to me, it was a bit of a shock to me when I found out who he was.
“Umm..”
“Rezim.”
“Oh yes, the. Sorry.”
“Don't worry, after all this is the first time we get to know in person,” said Regime while shrugging his shoulders casually.
He was the Regime, one of the Elf warriors who was here, and he was also the one who bore the title of the strongest Elf warrior. It was the first time we talked like this, so it made me a little nervous.
“That time thank you for saving us.”
By the way, he was also the one who saved us while I was being attacked by that black lion monster. Together with the other Elves, he came to help me.
“Well, it's nothing. I also have to thank you for saving Elvy, and also want to help us to reclaim our village.”
“I didn't do anything, all I did was give input. If it comes to battle, I am completely useless.”
“But in the end I failed and was helped by you,” I said languidly, humbling myself while laughing flatly.
However, seeing that, the Regime patted my shoulder firmly. It surprised me, and I spontaneously stared at him in astonishment. She was a lot taller than me, so I had to look up to see her face.
“What are you saying, Shinomiya-san? You risked your life to help the people you love. You have enough capacity to call yourself a soldier,” he said, who cheered me on with a sincere smile.
Hearing that from him, it made me happy, a thin smile was painted on my lips and it also made me gain a little confidence.
“Well, Shinomiya-san. Can I call you Riku, you can also call me Regime instead,” Regime cetus.
“Eh, ah, well, te-of course.” It surprised me a little, so I couldn't string my words together properly. This is the first time anyone has tried to get to know me in person.
I smiled and stretched out my hand. “Greetings, Regim.”
“Well, me too, Riku,” reply Regime while grabbing my hand.
I don't know why this is a little embarrassing.
But, this isn't so bad.
Today, for the first time, I made a man friend.
...****************...
“Alright, as we have planned before. The invading squad will lure the dragon to this place, and buy time until my squad manages to save the Elves. Then, the next squad will stay in this place until I come and give further cues..”.
Gathering outdoors with everyone, I gave them all the orders and their respective roles in the assault this time around.
As I one by one persuaded the leader of each squad to give the task to them, they all nodded steadily.
“Good, once everything is ready. We will kill the dragon using Mila-san's mythical magic. Remember, our success depends on all of us, so let's make that dragon accept all the consequences!!”
“OOOOOOOHHHHH—!!” yelled everyone excitedly.
Finally, the battle began.
