Devries

- You still have some unused skill points. -

[Devries]

Oh! The bloodsucking plant sample C is withering again.

Should I change the ingredient of the growth care?

Hey please cheer up soon!

Oh? A stranger?

Your look tells me that you are doing Alchemy as well right?

People say the number of alchemists is increasing nowadays though there aren't may who study this field properly!

They're all too worried about saying things like, ''Look at my bomb damage!'' or ''isn?t my homunculus prettier?''

The Alchemist Union was saying they'd support the researchers but actually what you get from the studying is just 'Spores Which Can Be Easily Raised'!

Thanks to that, there are spores everywhere in my lab! There are spores everywhere!

'Cause I'm from Rune-Midgarts!

Have you ever been to Rune-Midgarts? Everyone in Rune-Midgarts speaks like this.

Impossible?

Do you come from a Rune-Midgarts village?

My village is very big, everyone there speaks like this.

Really! That's why I felt some kind of familiar atmosphere around you.

Meeting a hometown person in Schwarzwald, it's my pleasure to meet you!

- Thump!! -

Ughhhhh! That woman started again!

That's the sound of an experiment being carried out by my roommate, Demi Calberine..

Demi's a fire shell technician so she's always noisy like that.

Look at that!

My spores and plants are all freaked out!

I can't do my work with those noisy sounds. It gives me so much stress!!

- Munch Crunch -

When I don't feel good, I savor Mr. Orlean's handmade cookies little by little.

It's a high-quality cookie that I got from Prontera. When I get one bite, it seems like I'm floating to Asgard.

The softness of the sweet cookie drowns out the clashing sounds from Demi Calberine.

Wanna try one?

Ah, I've eaten all of it.

But it's okay! On the 2nd floor of my room, there are boxes of those!

I couldn't stop buying it all in bulk. Ho ho ho.

- Zooooooooooooooooing -

- (Screeching Sounds)!!! -

- (Screeching)!!! -

- Bump! Bump! Bump! -

..................

Yoooooooooooow

Yipeeeeeeeeee!!!

Demiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

Demiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

- For now it seems that I -

- need to calm down Devries. -

Demiiiiii!!!

Demiiiiiiiii!!!

- Hmm. -

- What'll make her calm? -

- Devries quickly snatches -

- away the cookie and stuffs -

- it all in her mouth. -

- Crunch Crunch Crunch -

Ah, The sweet buttery taste remains at the end of my tongue.

This really gives me peace of mind.

Demi is studying hard today as well

Huhuhu. She's really a hard worker.

- That cookie changed her mood quick. -

You came here with a love for Alchemy?

Oh wait, We haven't introduced ourselves yet.

My name is Devries.

I'm very interested in making living things that show new and peculiar growth.

What's your name, young alchemist?

Oh,

That's a very unusual name. Pleased to meet you.

But I can't memorize the name well.

So I'll just call you <Popo>. Would that be ok?

Great...

Popo, have you heard of my research?

You came here because of that, am I right?

Well, it's all over your face.

You don't have to be shy.

That's right huh?

Well, as I expected, there really is something that makes homeland people get each other

When you saw me in that feverish state, you remembered what I said before and that calmed me down.

I like the way you manage yourself and take care to remember small details.

You have the talent to become a Geneticist.

If you become a Geneticist, you can't take the Alchemist's or Biochemist study course that you haven't investigated before.

If that's all right for you, how about giving it a shot right now?.

Alright.

Even though your knowledge is not that great as that of Geneticists, a fundamental knowledge is also important.

Popo, come back to me once you've finished your studies.

Good!

Let's do it!

Popo!

Are you ready to give it a shot?

You have to do your best! There is no easy way when looking for knowledge!

Very good!

What do you think of plants, Popo

Do you like plants? What kind of plants are you interested in?

- Boom, Boom, Boom -

Ah, please tell me Demi Calberine is not starting again?

Please let my expectation be wrong ... Please... Demi, please...

Where did I stop talking

Oh, right. Plants are very important in Alchemy.

Alchemy can make Flora's and Geographers grow immensely fast, so they can help in battle, like those Alchemists...

- Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! -

.......................

Techniques, plants are relatively easy to...

- Boom!!!!!! -

Crossbreed...

- Pop!!!!!! -

- Keeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!! -

- Boooooooooooooom!!!! -

- Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! -

Popo.

I'll give you the test to become a Geneticist.

The subject is <The Perfect Soundproof System>!

Please think of a way to save me from Demi Calberine's noise, using plants and experimental equipment that are here on the 1st floor of the lab.

Well, you better get started!

Please think of a way to save me from Demi Calbereine's noise, using plants and experimental equipment that are here on the 1st floor of the lab.

There are some guides in the cabinet that you may use.

Is there a problem?

Better get started, or I'll start to scream!!!

You can start from the beginning then?

Why are you asking me such things?

- Zing Zing Zigi Zigi -

What the hell is Demi Calberine doing?

That's really a noisy one.

Your study is done, Popo?

Give me those seeds.

What happened?

How could you say the study is completed without any result?

Start again.

Well, I'll take a look at the seeds Popo made.

What's the result?

When you put a seed in a Super Cultivator, and adjust the temperature...

Damn!

Popo, look at that!

That's really a mysterious plant!

The inside of the Cultivator is now full of thorny stems!

It's as if the stems are making a wall and growing very sturdily and those are getting tangled!

This is it, Popo!

This plant's properties can be used for many applications!

This is really great, Popo.

I knew that you were knowledgeable but your ability is more than that!

I will tell the outcome to the Alchemist Union.

I will send a recommendation letter saying that your ability is really great and that you could be a brilliant member.

Getting an answer from the Union will take some time, so could you wait a moment?

Why don't you go up to Demi Calberine?

She is a fellow Geneticist, specializing in mini cannons.

Go take a look at her experiment results.

Could you give this message to her? Tell her to conduct her experiments quietly.

Uh oh! You failed, Popo.

It didn't grow at all, it's withered already.

Go and start over!

Oh, wait a second.

It seems that the mail's has arrived.

You can take a look at the Demi Calberine's work place while we get an answer from the Union.

I've got good news for you!

- Wait a minute !! -

- Currently you're carrying -

- too many items with you. -

- Please try again -

- after you lose some weight. -

Oh, it looks like you're not ready to hear it.

First take off that heavy and dirty cart, that doesn't suit you on this happy moment.

But you look like you have a lingering desire for previous studies.

A letter has arrived from the Alchemist Union.

I'll read it to you, Popo!

<Dearest Miss Devries,>

<We are very aware of the brilliant activities you've shown lately.>

<Miss. Devries>

This guy is also from my hometown.

<I'm sure it will be a great inspiration for other Alchemists.>

<Come to think of it, you've attached a paper?>

<It was a new plant which makes plants grow super-fast, discovered by an Alchemist named,

<Myself and many other Alchemists from the Alchemist union are taking great interest in this.>

<We are looking forward to more volumes of study papers and outcomes, especially from other Geneticists who?ve heard this news.>

<I think that

<Please tell

<The Alchemist Union is very proud of Miss Devries, Miss Demi Calberine and

<We hope that you yield good fruits in the future as well.>

You are on a riding pet,

so you cannot change your job.

Please unequip your riding pet and try again!

Congratulations, Popo!

You are a Geneticist from now on!!

Just like the word from the Union, I'm also looking forward to your awesome activities.

Let's try hard together! To become the best Geneticist!

Popo, do you want to join my Love Orleans club? It's a club for those that love cookies. Of course, we don't think of doing weird things with Charles Orleans.

Am I that pretty to you? Why are you staring at me like that?
