The Last Alchemist

When the local gangster swung his fist, Rosen was ready to receive a heavy punch.

It's not that he likes to be abused, but because he is so upset and uncomfortable that he doesn't care about some physical pain.

‘Perhaps it would be more comfortable to be beaten. ’

As a result, the expected punch did not fall on him.

As soon as the gangster's fist was halfway out, he felt someone grab his back collar, and then an unstoppable force came from behind. Then, the gangster's body flew backwards and kept flying. After walking four or five meters, it hit the ground heavily.

The ruffian reluctantly raised his head and saw an extremely tall young woman wearing steel-scaled leather armor standing where he was. Not far from the young woman, his two companions were also thrown to the ground. He fell to the ground and cried out in pain one after another.

"Get out of here, or I won't be polite!" The young woman waved her fist.

Regardless of the pain on their bodies, the three gangsters immediately got up and fled the narrow alleyway in a mess.

Beside the wall, Rosen laughed: "Annie, you saved me again!"

"Get up, what are you saying when you sit on the ground? Why are you acting like a child!" Anne's face was cold and her voice was indifferent, but she still extended her hand to Rosen.

Rosen grabbed Annie's arm and stood up with the help: "Annie, will you go back with me?"

Annie shook her head, turned and walked towards the exit of the alley: "No!"

Rosen was puzzled: "Why?"

Annie's voice was cold: "I've made it very clear to you. My mission is completed and it's time to leave."

Rosen said anxiously: "I know that you are a hunter and want to hunt monsters. But even if we are together, it doesn't prevent us from doing this. We can do this together!"

Annie paused and said nothing, but her steps stopped.

Rosen saw hope, and he kept up his efforts: "Remember the night we were in the border wasteland? We killed hundreds of ghouls together, and also killed the powerful giant ghoul lord. We even easily defeated You have retreated from high-level vampires. If we work together, we can hunt down monsters much more efficiently than if you go it alone, and it will also be safer!"

"However, I have sworn a hunter's oath to never indulge in enjoyment or indulge my own desires. Because this will weaken my fighting spirit and make me weak."

When she said this, Anne's tone was no longer as firm as before, and she seemed to be very conflicted.

As soon as there was something going on, Rosen's advantages of being flexible and eloquent quietly came back. He immediately said: "Annie, you misunderstood me. I didn't rent the Prancing Pony Mansion just to indulge my desires and enjoy it."

Annie said angrily: "What is the purpose of spending a lot of money to rent a mansion if not enjoyment?"

"In order to focus more on exerting my power. You think, if there is no interference from trivial matters, I will have more time and energy to build better and stronger alchemical weapons, and to explore more profound natural laws. And you, I also have more time to hone my combat skills and get familiar with the new weapons I created, so I won’t waste precious time on dealing with trivial matters in life, right?”

Anne was silent, but made no objection.

Rosen continued: "Annie, I know that honing combat skills is very hard, and it requires strong perseverance to persist. And for me, whether I am making alchemy weapons or refining potions, once I get busy, my days are gone. It’s night, and I hate people interrupting me the most, so I always want to have a quiet place. You’ve seen all this, do you think this is enjoyment?”

"No." Annie shook her head slightly. She admitted that what Rosen said made sense, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

This time, it wasn't that there was something wrong with Rosen's statement, but that the truth he said was in great conflict with what her mentor had taught her. It was simply the opposite, and she subconsciously did not dare to accept this change.

On the other side, Rosen became anxious when he saw that Annie never turned around. He took a few steps forward and hugged Annie's body tightly from the back.

Although he is not as tall as Anne, he is the son of a knight. He has good genes and good nutrition. At the age of fifteen, he is already over 1.7 meters tall. It is not very difficult to hold him.

Annie's body trembled violently, and she instinctively wanted to break free. Just as she was about to exert her strength, she held back, but her body was still tense.

"What are you doing? Let go now, or I won't be polite!" she said urgently.

Rosen was still hugging her tightly and whispered in Annie's ear: "Don't go, okay?"

Annie was stunned. After a while, her body suddenly softened: "You hold me so tightly, how can I leave?"

He used Rosen's familiar tone, no longer the cold tone before.

Rosen was overjoyed, and taking this opportunity, he suddenly turned to Annie, hugged Annie's cheek, and kissed her on the lips. Annie's face was as white as jade, her lips were red and moist, and her mouth shape was particularly beautiful. He had been attracted to her for a long time.

As a result, before the kiss came, his chest was pushed, and his body took several steps back before he stabilized. When he looked up, he saw Annie looking at him with red cheeks. Seeing Rosen looking over, she pretended He said angrily: "Rosen, you are too young to learn well. If you do this again next time, see if I don't throw you out!"

"Hehe!" Rosen smiled awkwardly, feeling a little regretful, but when he saw Anne's shy look, he felt happy and felt it was very beautiful. He scratched his head and changed the subject: "Then let's go back now, shall we?"

"What if I say no?" Anne rolled her eyes at Rosen.

"Ah?" Rosen was at a loss.

It's true that he had two girlfriends on Earth, but they were together by coincidence. After they got together, he didn't spend much effort to maintain the relationship. He always spent most of his time in the laboratory, and as a result, both girlfriends became ex-girlfriends inexplicably.

So, when it comes to girls' minds, especially those of girls from other worlds, he can't guess at all.

"Puchi~" Anne laughed out loud and sighed: "How could I meet a fool like you. Let's go back."

Rosen nodded repeatedly, and he walked back with Anne shoulder to shoulder. After walking for a while, he quietly reached out and held Anne's hand. Although Anne usually dances with guns and sticks, her hands are not calloused at all. Her skin is smooth and soft, and it feels soft in her hands, just like an electric shock.

This time, Anne did not break free and let him hold her.

Rosen's heart was suddenly very happy.

There was no conversation along the way. When they returned to the carriage and entered the compartment, Little Alice and Sister Mary naturally gave Anne a warm welcome, which made Anne's eyes red.

When she calmed down a little, Veronica smiled faintly: "Annie, when you just left, Rosen looked like he had lost his soul. There was no trace of the mathematical master. I suspected that he would never recover. That look was really scary."

"That's right, sister, brother cares about you." Little Alice agreed.

Anne glanced at Rosen, and Rosen just smiled at her. She felt warm in her heart, lowered her head, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't be like this in the future."

In the carriage, everyone continued to talk and laugh, and soon the relaxed atmosphere was restored.

Soon, the carriage started, and because it would take the next day to move into the Yuema Mansion, the carriage drove to the hotel in the west of the city first.

On the way, Rosen took out the scroll he had obtained from the magician and said, "After I settle down in the inn, I will go to the academy to find out the situation. If everything goes well, I will give this scroll to Sage Niya."
