Be understanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha, if you weren’t an alchemist…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then let’s move on to the next step since your body seems to have recovered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next step?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What we were going to do back then. We couldn’t because you suddenly collapsed, but we have to try to restore your lost memories now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it… safe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might fail, but it won’t harm your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I’ll trust you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragonkin nodded arrogantly. Marlene was annoyed, but she couldn’t say anything when her master was just standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, drink this. It’s a potion called ‘Curse of Lethe’. Ah, and it might hurt a bit, but you’ll be able to endure it in your current state, so don’t worry too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragonkin took the potion with a dubious look and swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…It’s bitter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lie down now, the pain will come soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragonkin obediently followed his instructions and lay down on the bed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after some time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…the Dragonkin, who had been sweating profusely and groaning in pain, opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it? Have your memories returned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I don’t know. I think so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might take some time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a strange feeling. I can clearly remember things from when I was young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s because it’s that kind of potion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More importantly, do you have anything sweet? I want something to cleanse my palate…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master looked at Marlene at the Dragonkin’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sign for her to give him something if she had it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I’ll get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlene quickly returned to her room and brought the cookies she had left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her master was gone when she came back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your master was summoned by the Lord. So, what about the food?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlene handed him the few cookies that were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to, but what could she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘They were from Amelia…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragonkin, as if he wasn’t satisfied with just one, ate several cookies in one bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after some time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh… my head!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…the Dragonkin suddenly clutched his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he was remembering ‘that day’s memory’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th, that’s right…! It, it was him…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragonkin then looked into the distance and cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his joy didn’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keu, keugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed violently with a pained expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like something was stuck in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin, which was already red and blotchy from the burns, was swelling grotesquely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Gr, Grandfather didn’t say there were side effects like this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlene’s mind went blank at the unexpected situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…the Dragonkin suddenly reached out towards Marlene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gesture filled with clear hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlene, who had only ever learned alchemy, couldn’t even react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…his hand didn’t reach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Dragonkin lost his balance and fell off the bed as he was getting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saliva dripped from his wide-open mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wasn’t mistaken, there was also blood mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what the hell happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… what, what did you put in the… cookies…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no?
