Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

After a long while, she gave Isaac a bright smile.

"Yes."

The Ferris wheel had reached its highest point, and the setting sun shone on the two of them.

"Speaking of which, haven't we forgotten something?"

Isaac suddenly asked.

"It seems that Miss Aihara's school dismissal time has already passed."

"Oh no! This is bad!"

----------

"Rentaro! Do you know what mistake you made?"

Lan Yuanyanzhu glared angrily at Isaac, who was sitting opposite her.

"Um... I'm late."

"Making a lady wait for more than an hour is unforgivable!"

"So that's why I brought you to the restaurant for dinner," Isaac said.

The restaurant they were in was one of the most upscale restaurants in Tokyo. Isaac had brought Chizu Natsuyo and Aihara Enju with him.

"Don't think that I will forgive Rentaro so easily."

As she spoke, Aihara Enju stuffed the food from the bowl into her mouth.

“It’s a rare treat to come to such a high-class restaurant, I should have called the owner over,” Isaac said casually.

"No, I don't want to eat with people from the 'Chest Alien'!" Aihara Enju shouted.

"He's my boss, after all. As my partner, shouldn't you be proud to have such an excellent boss?"

"No way!"

Suddenly remembering something, Aihara Enju asked, "By the way, Rentaro, do you have work today? Why are you so late to pick me up?"

"because……"

"Because I went on a date with Mr. Satomi at the amusement park."

Before Isaac could finish speaking, Senju Natsuyo interrupted.

Clang!

Enju Aihara dropped her spoon on the ground, looking at Isaac in disbelief, then at Natsuyo Senju.

"This can't be real, Rentaro!"

"It's true that we went to the amusement park together..."

"Wow!!"

Ignoring the stares of those around them, Aihara Enju jumped onto Isaac and shook his shoulders repeatedly.

"Why?! Why would Rentaro go on a date with Natsume at an amusement park?! I've never been to one before!!"

"Stop joking, why would someone like you who needs to go to school go to an amusement park?"

Isaac ripped the bead that was playing pranks on him off.

"I don't care!! Rentaro must take me with him in the future!!" Aihara Enju stared at Isaac with her big, watery eyes.

"Oh, maybe next time."

"Humph!"

Chapter 267: Goodbye Tina

"Doctor, as you said before, please teach me how to use this robotic arm you made."

In the dimly lit laboratory, Isaac looked at Sumire Muroto and spoke.

I've wanted to ask this question before, but I've always forgotten because I don't have any specific need for it.

“It’s simple. There’s a lever under your arm that looks like a bolt. Try pulling it,” Sumire Muroto said, pointing to Isaac’s right hand.

Isaac has replaced the synthetic skin on his right hand, revealing a futuristic, streamlined black arm underneath.

After activating the mechanism above, a lever resembling a bolt did indeed pop out.

Pulling the lever, Isaac heard a 'click' sound from his arm, which sounded like a bullet being chambered.

"The robotic arm is made of holmium and contains a cartridge case with a capacity of ten rounds. When it explodes, it can generate a huge thrust," Sumire Muroto explained.

"I see. The feet should be designed similarly."

"That's right, the footsteps contain fifteen-round ammunition cartridges and can move at high speeds using the propulsion generated by the explosion."

"Really? That's a really good design."

"Of course..."

"But there are a few minor flaws."

"Oh?" Sumire squinted at Isaac. "Tell me about it."

"Why not add a jet in the heel?"

Why add it there?

Isaac said seriously, "I think attaching it to the heel can transform the legs from something that only increases movement speed into a weapon that can be used for attack."

After listening, Sumire Muroto's expression turned serious. She looked at Isaac for a moment and then slowly said:

"to be honest."

"I want to play Rider Kick."

For a moment, the entire laboratory fell silent.

After a long pause, Sumire Muroto spoke first: "That's not true. This isn't a toy factory."

"Never mind then, thank you for telling me all this today, doctor." Isaac stood up to leave. "By the way, how's Chizu Natsume doing here lately?"

"She's pretty good. She understands everything I teach her very quickly. No wonder she's the originator of the dolphin factor," Sumire Muroto said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, doctor."

--------

Four days have passed since the Holy Emperor was last assassinated.

Isaac had a lot of free time during this period. Occasionally, he would take Chizu Natsume out for a trip, or he would go out for a stroll by himself.

Of course, you might occasionally run into acquaintances while strolling around.

"Mr. Rentaro, it's nice to see you again."

A soft, gentle voice came from behind him. Isaac turned around and found Tina standing right behind him.

"This is the third time we've met, isn't it?" Isaac laughed.

I had met him several times before in the park near the Holy City, but I didn't expect to run into him again while just walking around this time.

"Yes."

Tina took Isaac's hand and asked, "Mr. Rentaro, are you busy today?"

"Today? I happen to not have work today."

"Can you take me out to play?"

“No,” Isaac firmly refused.

"Huh?" Tina's face showed disappointment.

"It's rare for me to come out and wander around by myself, so of course I hope to relax properly. Bringing a kid along would be pointless."

"Oh, never mind then." Tina's face showed disappointment.

Just as Isaac was about to turn around, his hand was grabbed again.

"What's wrong now?"

“I’m hungry,” Tina said to Isaac.

"Then let's go buy something to eat."

"I forgot my money."

"..."

Isaac looked at Tina helplessly, while Tina gazed back at Isaac with her big, watery eyes.

“Kid, there’s no way you’re going to get me to buy you food. Not in this lifetime,” Isaac said viciously.

Tina continued to stare at Isaac.

Three minutes later.

"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

Isaac handed Tina a steaming hot takoyaki.

"Thank you."

Tina took the takoyaki as she spoke.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm just a wage earner. Recently, I even had a client (the Holy Emperor) who owes me money and won't pay it back, so bring me the money yourself next time."

Isaac, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said...

Although this amount of money is nothing to him.

“Mr. Rentaro is such a kind person,” Tina said with a smile.

If my subordinates heard that, they'd probably spit in your face.

He doesn't think he can be associated with gentleness at all.

"Mr. Rentaro..."

Tina handed the box of takoyaki to Isaac.
