Ah...

You...

You've become

an Alchemist.

Remember...

In your quest

to make your

dreams come true,

do not lose what

you cherish.

Harmona...

My love...

When you have

your dreams, you

have everything.

Without them, you have

nothing more to lose.

These cursed eyes...

They've lost sight of

my dreams a long time ago.

Ha ha ha ha...

Does paradise

really exist...?

Not without my love...

Not without Harmona...

...

......

Who is it...?

A wolf?

Or a human?

You must be seeking

something, are you not?

After all...

Everyone has desires

to fulfill. Be be careful.

Do not be like the wild

wolf drawn to the flowers.

In your efforts to gain something else, you may end up sacrificing something precious to you.

Cultivating joy and happiness

is much like cultivating flowers.

If something is missing, the

flower will wilt away...

What brings you

to this kind of place?

You wish to

learn Alchemy?

Everything I know,

I've learned for the

sake of making my

dream come true...

I'll teach

you the basics...

But everything you

learn afterwards must

be directed through

your own motivations.

I will teach you

how to make simple

medicine. So please

bring the following

materials right away.

3 Medicine Bowls,

3 Empty Bottles,

1 Red Herb,

1 Yellow Herb and

1 White Herb.

Once you have

prepared everything,

return to me.

Flowers...?

In the darkest

recesses of my mind,

there is a blossum

that I faintly remember...

For the one that

I love, I put all

of my efforts into

researching that one thing.

I won't tell you the details,

but I was basically researching

the relationship between

wolves and flowers.

But yes...

It was a flower.

With its shine, it was said

to let you see paradise.

The Illusion Flower...

I even made

a Homunculus,

but no one believed that I could create new life from a flower...

Then...

Well, some other things happened, and now I have nothing left. Time no longer has any meaning for me.

Ahh...

Where have you gone?

I hope you're in a field

of beautiful flowers...

Consider what

is most precious

to you. It cannot

be protected if you

do not recognize it.

You are the one who

wishes to learn Alchemy.

Have you prepared everything?

Wait.

That Illusion Flower.

How did you get that?

Where did you find it?!

The flower that slowly

blooms under the

moonlight?

It's beautiful...!

Th-That flower...

Please let me see it.

The Illusion Flower!

Uwaaaaaaah!!

Would you be so kind

as to let me have this flower?

I'm sure that this is the Moonlight Flower that I've been seeking!

I understand.

You can't give

such a precious

flower to just anyone.

Well... It's okay.

It just brought back old memories. I shouldn't have asked in the first place. In any case, please bring what is needed for the experiment.

Please leave that flower

somewhere else. It brings

back too many memories...

Are you

serious?!

Thank you!

Such a precious flower.

Ah, Harmona, my love...

Yes...

I shall repay you for this.

I shall plant all of my knowledge of Alchemy directly into your mind...

Open your eyes wide,

and look into my eyes!!

Don't stop until the end!!

You are now

an Alchemist!!

Go to the Union

and cast away the last

vestiges of Merchant life!!

Seems like you have everything ready. As promised, I will teach you how to make simple medicine.

First, prepare the Medicine Bowl. Then, you put the Herbs inside, like this, and slowly crush them.

Pour small amounts

of clean water and stir

the mixture until it thickens.

Afterwards, add some more Herbs.

That's how you make it. If you think you have enough, gently pour the mixture into an empty bottle.

There you go,

it's complete.

Now, make some medicine

using the simple procedure

I just explained to you.

What...?

No!

...Eh!?

That's not

medicine!

A Harp?

And how would

you do that?

Wh-What are

you doing!?

Agh...!

What do you

think you're

doing?!

Huh?

What are you doing?

W-wait...

taking a break?

Eat the Herbs?

I think you need

to focus on the

task at hand...

Singing and

dancing? Alchemists

don't do that, have

you gone crazy?

We're Alchemists,

not restaurant chefs.

Huh...

Pretty sloppy...

You messed up the mixture

since you didn't follow the procedure! Get some more ingredients so you can try it

again until you get it right.

Good job.

It came out pretty well considering it's your first time. Go ahead and keep the medicines that you've just made.

Now, go into the next room

and speak to Van Helmont to

continue your training.

Never forget...

You must always protect

what is most precious to you.

Have you forgotten

what you need to bring?

Let me remind you once

again. You must come

back with...

3 Empty Bottle,

Come back

when you are

ready...

I said to go

to Van Helmont.

I'd like to teach you

more, but I can't.

Aah...

Harmona, my love.

I can't even see the flower anymore. My soul quietly

withers as well..

I have already given you all of my knowledge and have nothing more

to teach you.

Go to the second floor and talk to speak to our Union Leader. Once

you do that, your life as an Alchemist will begin.
