Part 41: Chapter Forty: The Elixir
Viese had made a pact with Aion, the Life Mana, but still needed the rare and mysterious Dore Water to create the Elixir she needed to save Iris. So she hurried to the Crystal Monument, where the Yugdore Trees could be found.But I have to go to save Iris!
Felt Give me the courage !
Whew I barely made it
But, I better get going.
The Dore Water collects at the base of a Yugdore Tree.
This is Dore Water Its so beautiful
But Iris is waiting. I have to hurry back now.
Viese hurried back to her Workshop.
Im okay.
Oh, Iris
Why are you trying so hard to prove youre alright? You dont have to worry about anything.
I dont want you to have to work so hard, just for me.
But, I dont mind working hard for your sake.
But, Im not really your sister
Iris!
Even though were not related by blood, you are my family now!
I cant just abandon you while youre sick like this!
The Elixir will help you right away. Please, stay in bed until Ive finished it.
Okay.
Phew.
Huh?! Sleeping like that, Iris reminds me of someone. Where have I seen that face before?
Oh well, I guess its not important
Viese got everything set up to begin the synthesis.
That girl, Iris Is she your daughter?
What?! No!
Why do you ask?
On, no reason I can just feel a weird power that I wont get closer to
Nuh uh.
?
You might not be able to feel it because youre just a human.
The power I feel is usually only present and detectable by Mana
But, I could be wrong.
And was able to create the Elixir with relative ease at that point.

Now to get her to drink it!
How is it ?
Ugh
Youre starting to look better.
Aion, thank you.
?! Iris?
What did you say?
Viese began to think back a bit.
Huh?! Sleeping like that, Iris reminds me of someone. Where have I seen that face before?
Oh well, I guess its not important
And realized whose face Iris reminded her of.
Huh, Viese
Oh, Im sorry I woke you up. Please rest a little while longer.
Oh, and I better go tell Kreuz whats going on.
Vieses friends had gathered to see how things were going.
Is she still feeling sick?
Thanks to all of you, shes starting to look and feel better.
Thats great! I was so worried about her.
Im going to Eden Temple to let Kreuz know how shes doing.
Finally! Im so relieved.
Kreuz was quite impressed that she succeeded in creating an Elixir.
Viese. You came.
I think Iris is going to be fine now.
But, what wouldve happened without the elixir
Alchemy is amazing.
No, Viese. Youre wrong.
It was your hard work that saved Iris. You are amazing, not alchemy.
Im very proud of you.
Ill stop by to check on Iris later. You should watch over her til then.
I will.
Bless us, Lilith.
Viese couldnt help but stop by the historical society on the way home, though.
It still bothers me.
Hmm, I still say she looks just like Iris Maybe its just me.
Here you are. I stopped by your workshop, but you werent home.
Im sorry. Somethings been bothering me.
I checked on Iris. She looks fine now.
Thats good Thank you for everything.
Is that a relief of Lilith?
I wonder where Iris really came from.
I sensed there was something unusual about her when I first met her.
Something supernatural
I thought she might be like a Mana or something.
Thank you very much.
What will you do now?
Whatever happens, Iris is still Iris. Shell always be my sister now.
Im going to take care of her until shes better.
Im going back to my workshop.
She still needs you, Viese.
Please stay by her side.
I will.
Iris was feeling all better by the time she got home.
Yes.
Viese?
Im glad Really glad Really, really glad
?
Iris looks fine to me.
Yeah, theres nothing to worry about now.
Im so happy!
I guess I dont have to worry anymore. Oh, and I bought you a gift.
Oh, thank you. And Thank you everybody.
Oh, and I have to tell Felt all about it.
Im sorry its been so long since Ive written, Felt.
Iris had a really high fever, so Ive been busy taking care of her.
Meanwhile, back in Belkhyde, the final battle against the Empire was brewing.

Splended
Soldier: And, your shipment from Silvaresta has arrived
Its here? Ive been waiting forever to get it!
Soldier: But, can such a massive giant be effective?
It was designed by Silvarestas finest alchemy researchers. For their sake, it better work.
And, its the ideal defender.
Its certainly far superior than buffoons like Galahad!
Soldier:
Galahad, meanwhile, was outside the palace.
Some may think youre grasping at straws for your own protection
The Simsilts were gathered at Fort Zeyung to prepare for the final battle.
Our organization has grown so large, it takes time to organize us all.
Do we really have that many?
Many have joined after hearing that were led by a Slaith princess.
We now have 3 to 4 times as many people than we ever had before.
Whether you like it or not, youre now in charge of Simsilt.
I will do my best.
Simsiltian: Reporting!
The Imperial forces in Riesevelt are gathering at Riese Palace.
Riese Palace
Theodore must be trying to protect himself.
What are we gonna do?
Simsiltian: You are our leader. We trust your decisions.
Then we will storm Riese Palace.
What? Now?
Yes, now.
If we dont go now, we may never get another shot.
This is our best chance. We know exactly where Theodore is.
Gray agreed with Fees plan.
Its the right call.
Well go as soon as were ready.
Well be ready when you are.
This may be the final battle of the Simsilts. Theres no turning back now. Its all or nothing.
So, please be prepared.
Feinnes Fourth Wall Lectures: Another Alchemy Loop
I make use of a loop I normally dont here, which is the Eden Outfit/Silver Armor/Slaith Dress. This is not a particularly overpowered loop, it mainly lets us stack defensive bonuses and weak elemental damage on our attacks. You need to grow the bushes in the Great Desert for the Desert Flowers to make the Slaith Dresses. We needed to go there anyway for this:
They were finished preparations to attack, all that was left was to do it.
