The female alchemist took the young Nikolai around the world, and while continuing her previous life, she raised Nikolai as her own child, teaching Nikolai to read, write and alchemy, although it was an ordinary life, but it was also a beautiful life that could make people smile.

It wasn't until Nikolai was sixteen years old that the alchemist took Nikolai to a small village with a beautiful scenery in preparation for Nikolai's coming-of-age ceremony.

The female alchemist began to have some occasional cough and fever, and at first neither of them was too concerned about the cold, but the symptoms gradually began to get worse until the female alchemist fainted during a pharmaceutical session.

Because of that fainting, at Nikolai's request, the female alchemist gave herself a thorough physical examination, and the results of that examination were like a sudden over-the-top joke to the two of them, and they came to their side unsuspectingly, so that the two of them were not even prepared at all.

The deterioration of bodily functions due to some unexplained reason, judging from the severity of the disease, it is a miracle to be able to live for one year.

I can't explain anything.,It's very mysterious.,But it's like a clumsy lie.,Of course,There's no way to make the two of them feel real.,It's just like wanting to laugh and say'Don't be funny'.'

However, if you can't laugh out, even if it's too sudden, the result is indisputably genuine.

Now that I think about it, the day I heard the diagnosis was probably the most self-reproachful and painful day for Nikolai, more painful than being abandoned by his biological parents.

"It's all my fault. ”

Nikolai said this, because it was his negligence that he did not find out about the teacher's illness, and if he had found it earlier, the teacher might not have found out until the illness was so serious, or if he had been more talented and hardworking, he might have been able to develop a drug to treat the teacher's illness.

It's like a child's self-blame, even if the female alchemist persuades him, it will only make Nikolai more painful, and for Nikolai at that time, gentle tolerance is even a hundred times more painful than whipping and reprimanding.

In any case, time was running out for the alchemist and Nikolai, realizing this, Nikolai began to go crazy and shut himself up in a small laboratory, rummaging through information, experimenting, failing, and searching for more information, as if burning his own life to punish himself.

No amount of persuasion by the alchemist was of any avail, and her health was getting worse and worse, and soon she was losing even the ability to move freely.

As the time drew closer to Nikolai's sixteenth birthday, the alchemist, who had already made a sickly posture on the verge of death, stubbornly pulled him out of the laboratory and said to him.

"The coming-of-age ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime important day, and we must make it a lively one. ”

Nikolai, who had already tortured himself to the point of being emaciated, subconsciously wanted to refuse, because without that kind of time, if there was no teacher, he would even lose the meaning of living in this world, and the mere coming-of-age ceremony would be dispensable compared to it.

However, Nikolai looked at the increasingly weak teacher and realized that he had not spoken a few words to the teacher during this time, but Nikolai did not regret it, medicine could be exchanged for the teacher's health, even if he was willing to exchange his life.

It's a pity that there are not so convenient things in this world.

In the end, without saying a word of refusal, Nikolai agreed to the teacher's proposal.

Perhaps Nikolai at that time was already vaguely aware that the teacher's time was running out, and the key medicine simply did not exist.

Soon after, on a drizzly night, Nikolai and his teacher cooked a sumptuous dinner and set up strange decorations in the house that were impossible to use.

Nikolai was worried about the alchemist's body and asked her to rest, but she refused to rest, she said .......

"It's my sweetest child's big day, and I would be sorry not to do it myself. ”

said it was a coming-of-age ceremony, but neither of them knew exactly what to do, so they just tried their best to arrange a birthday party that looked quite special, and it was a deserted banquet for only two people. Fortunately, neither of them felt dissatisfied, and celebrated this birthday lively, and even Nikolai desperately showed a smile.

However, the birthday party did not last long, and in the middle of the feast, the alchemist could no longer hold on, and she fell to the ground and never got back up.

The female alchemist's body has long reached its limit, but she gritted her teeth and persevered for this day, all just to celebrate the birthday of her favorite child, and the last birthday she participated in, but her body, which had already lost her vitality, made her unable to even fulfill this last wish.

"I'm sorry. ”

The female alchemist said.

"Birthday, I messed it up. ”

Even at such times did not utter a word of weakness, but only thought about Nikolai wholeheartedly.

Every time the alchemist said a word, Nikolai could feel the breath exhaling from her mouth, I don't know if it was an illusion, Nikolai felt that he could clearly know that these breaths were the teacher's last life.

Nikolai wanted to tell the teacher to stop talking, wanted to cover the teacher's mouth, but his hand could not be raised, and the unstoppable despair was coming towards him step by step, suppressed along with his last resistance, and he could only helplessly beg for a miracle.

Miracles did not appear.

"I'm so sorry to leave you alone......"

These were the last words left by the female alchemist.

It was Nikolai's most special birthday, and in this birthday he received pain, remorse, and resentment that wanted to curse along with the whole world, and of course, the sadness that even his heart was going to die.

If you don't say yes to this birthday, ...... if you spend all your time experimenting.

The same thought as before returned to Nikolai's mind in a more violent form, and this time there was no one who could stop him.

However, everything Nikolai had had disappeared with the teacher's forever closed eyes, and the purpose of his experiment was the same, but this did not stop Nikolai, he could not stop, and once he stopped, his already broken heart would fall apart in an instant.

This time, Nikolai, who is even more crazy, is no longer pursuing drugs that do not exist in the world, but the greatest taboo for the living, the realm of life and death.

That is...... Resurrection of the dead. (To be continued.) )
