Chapter 1: Let’s Make a Bunch of Stuff in Alchemy Club!

On Friday, I’d had to visit the royal palace, so I hadn’t been able to go to alchemy club. I was now at home, making a list of all the devices I wanted to make. Some were going to be hard to explain, so I drew out some diagrams for them. As I was sketching out all the things I wanted to make, I had a flash of inspiration.

“We wouldn’t need a magic stone forthis,” I mumbled to myself. “We could even use it at home. We could also use it twice, so it would save money! Though, I’m not sure if making this would be considered alchemy. I’ll have to ask President Caesar about it!”

My list of possible inventions mostly consisted of rough sketches and hastily written explanations just so I could convey the basic concepts of what I wanted to make, but for this device in particular, I spent time thinking about the specifics. I even wrote in the exact dimensions I wanted.

“I think this is about the size it should be. Oh, I’ll go ahead and make a cover for it.”

I grabbed some scrap fabric from the attic and used it to create a cover for my planned device. I was buzzing with excitement.

I can’t wait to go to alchemy club!

My little angels loved the lamp I’d made for them, but it would stop working once the magic stone was used up. The magic stone the lamp was currently running on had been a gift from the alchemy club.

“This is basically copying and pasting a design, right?” I thought aloud. “I wonder if I could do the same to have a side job producing magic circles. I wouldn’t know how to go about selling magic circles to a lamp factory though.”
