I am the protagonist

Saber just needs to think carefully about what else she can do to attract Shirou.

In Medea's room, Shirou and Medea are now sitting together.

"Caster, the alchemy should be reaching its final stage today, right?"

"Yes, Shirou, today is the final step in your first attempt to create an elixir of immortality."

Shirou finally breathed a sigh of relief; this elixir of immortality took much longer than he had imagined.

It took four months to complete.

However, considering that this is a drug that can make people live forever, it is normal that it will take a little longer.

At least today is a day of harvest.

Looking at Caster sitting beside him, Shirou pulled her into his arms.

"Thank you for your help these past few months, Caster."

"If it weren't for your help, I might still be going down many detours now."

"Ey."

Medea leaned gently against Shirou's chest, completely disagreeing with what he had just said.

"There's only a little bit I can help with."

"Shirou prepared most of the alchemy himself this time; I only provided some assistance and reminders on the side."

Hearing Shirou's thanks was Medea's greatest reward.

In fact, as long as Shirou can accept her and doesn't reject her, that would be her greatest happiness.

"Moreover, if it weren't for Shirou inviting me to this home, I might still be stuck in Ryudouji Temple."

"For me, Shirou's invitation is my greatest fortune."

The heroic spirit fell in love with a magician.

This might seem unrealistic to many Heroic Spirits, since Mages only treat Heroic Spirits as familiars, not lovers.

The contract between a Heroic Spirit and a Magician is only for seven days. Seven days is not enough time for them to get to know each other and make a commitment. All they do is use each other.

However, the conditions for permanently remaining in this world have been met.

He encountered a magician who could accept Heroic Spirits.

This magician doesn't reject anything about the Heroic Spirit's past at all.

Once all these conditions are met, the relationship has essentially begun.

She spared no effort for the one she loved.

Medea knew she was being really foolish, but this time she had truly fallen in love with Shirou.

And she also confirmed one thing.

Anyone in this world might betray her, but Shirou is the only one who wouldn't.

"Thank you very much, Shirou."

"You can accept everything about me and not care about my identity as a witch."

"They just saw me as a woman."

Medea's love was pure and simple.

If she meets someone she can give her heart to, she will fall in love with that person who moves her heart.

"Caster..."

Shirou could clearly feel Caster's love for him, just like Sakura's love for him back then, or even Saber's love for him.

Gently embracing Caster in his arms, Shirou slowly lowered his head.

Chapter 106 Shirou, is our research over?

[Production profession level upgraded!]

[Production profession level upgraded!]

[Production profession level upgraded!]

After completing the alchemy, Shirou heard three notification sounds.

A flood of information simultaneously entered Shirou's consciousness.

"Shirou."

Shirou was unable to respond to Caster immediately, as he was immersed in a sea of ​​messages.

Is it because of insufficient magic power?

No, Shirou's magical power is abundant.

Medea checked Shirou's physical condition from the side and found no problems.

She's not in a hurry to wake Shirou up right now.

Shirou's condition is not caused by his physical condition, nor by a lack of magical energy.

Perhaps it's because Shirou has been too tired lately.

Medea knew very well about Shirou's recent life.

Every night, we would study magic together until very late.

I'm going to Ryudong Temple this weekend to learn swordsmanship from that dog.

They also have to go to school regularly.

All of these things were the root of Shirou's exhaustion, but Medea was unable to offer him much help in these matters.

This is a learning process, a path that Shirou must take to gain power.

Medea rested Shirou's head on her lap.

Perhaps the only thing she could do to help Shirou on his path of learning was to provide him with an easier way out, but she could also take better care of him in his daily life.

[Shirou, get some sleep.]

Medea gently placed her hand on Shirou's face, looking at his sleeping face, her heart filled with tenderness.

With his eyes closed, Shirou was processing the vast amount of information in his mind.

It took Shirou fifteen minutes to barely manage to organize the massive amount of information into a coherent thought.

Just as I expected, all skills are divided into four stages, with each stage consisting of three levels.

The upgrades at each stage only improve the skills required for that stage.

Shirou had already gained some insights from the three levels of alchemy advancement.

The first two level upgrades were to give him a lot of operational experience and points to note in alchemy for the second stage.

The third level upgrade granted Shirou the recipes for various materials needed for the next stage of alchemy, as well as a considerable amount of methods for material identification and cultivation.

It was all to make more basic preparations for the next stage of improvement.

The elixir of immortality is an alchemical recipe of level 7 to 9, a very high-level alchemical potion.

No wonder I received so many experience points after obtaining the elixir of immortality.

[This is probably an alchemical potion that I cannot complete at this stage.]

Because I completed this level of alchemy ahead of my usual level, I was given several times more experience.

[Unexpectedly, even alchemical potions can grant more experience points than those of higher levels.]

However, this situation is almost impossible to replicate.

If Shirou hadn't used his Origin Points to purchase [Item Crafting] beforehand, he wouldn't have known so many alchemy recipes, let alone been able to easily create the elixir of immortality.

Shirou didn't open his eyes immediately. There was still a lot of information to process, and he needed time to handle it all.

It took nearly an hour before Shirou finally opened his eyes.

"Caster..."

The first thing you see is Caster's gentle gaze.

"Shirou, won't you sleep a little longer?"

The faint fragrance emanating from Caster was like a tranquilizer that could help one fall asleep, allowing Shirou to relax completely.

I've had enough rest now.

"No."

"Although Caster's lap pillow is very comfortable, I still have some things to take care of right now, so I'll wait until next time."

Shirou sat up from Caster's lap.

He pulled Caster onto his lap and gently massaged her legs.

"It's numb, isn't it?"

"In that state, if I were still leaning against it, my legs would have gone numb by now."

Although I don't know if girls have the ability to sit in that position without their legs going numb, Shirou thinks that this sitting posture would definitely make your legs go numb.

Moreover, he was leaning against Caster's leg.

"Only a little bit."

"This is not just a little bit."

Medea watched Shirou's actions but did not stop him. Instead, she gently leaned against Shirou's chest.

My legs must be numb right now, considering I was sitting in that position with Shirou leaning against my legs.

Poor blood circulation can cause numbness and even feel like an electric shock.

However, this situation can actually be easily cured with magic.

However, Medea no longer wanted to be cured, so she asked Shirou to help her recover in the most primitive way.

She wanted to stay nestled in Shirou's arms.

While rubbing Caster's numb legs, Shirou suddenly remembered the elixir of immortality they had created.

"Caster, did we make a bit too much this time?"

"That's a bit too much."

The amount of the elixir of immortality had already exceeded the needs of two people.

Medea didn't care whether the amount needed to be done was too much.

The extra amount of food only increased the time she spent with Shirou, so Medea naturally had no objection to it.

"The amount here is not just for two people, it's enough for at least ten people."

"Ten people... that's a bit more than I expected."

"That's fine too. We can keep the rest. I also want to use these elixirs of immortality to research how to make the elixir of life."

There is definitely more than one way to achieve immortality.

Alchemy can certainly achieve such things, and the elixir of immortality does indeed exist; however, it is much more difficult to create such an elixir through alchemy.

Shirou has lost all concept of immortality, but it's not unreasonable to consider immortality as the next research topic.

Because it is a very time-consuming topic, it is certainly of considerable value to study.

“Caster, come with me.”

"After four months of hard work, we have finally reaped the rewards."

"Now is the time to surprise them."

However, Medea was somewhat reluctant to go over there at this point.

"...Shirou, is our research considered complete?"

"No, this is not the end."

"The study of magic will never end; this is just the completion of one of the projects."
