Chapter 1273: A Master That Doesn't Take Care Of Herself
I think master didnt take a bathe either, her hair looked messy, and she was still with the face of a sleepy woman. And even more, she was so lazy she was preparing food inside her alchemy cauldron. I mean, we make potions inside and all of that, but is that still safe to do?
"Yeah, she does this from time to time..." my father sighed, as he was making a lot of eggs with bacon. "Just don't eat whatever she makes, its not toxic, but still, your stomach usually hurts after eating it..."
"Hey, Allan! Don't undersell me like this!" Felicia sighed. "The food is good, this is one of the best life hacks I've ever learned. Making food with alchemy is so easy. You just throw the ingredients and using some alchemy, and your visualization, and ta-dah!"
FLASH!
The alchemy cauldron bubbled, as something came out of it, dozens of pancakes flew out of it, which Felicia caught with two plates, tripping over the ground a few times but managing to save a few. Though the rest fell into the floor.
"S-See? Easiest pancakes ever."
The pancakes looked fine, way too perfect, actually. Suspiciously at this point, but I wanted to try out doing that myself too, honestly.
"Wow, that was amazing, if it actually works well and makes edible food, then we could really have an easy life hack there," Celeste bought it out really quickly, maybe because she didn't liked cooking.
"I still prefer making food using cooking magic, wasn't cooking magic designed for cooking instead of alchemy?" wondered Celica.
"Well, well, well, my little apprentice, Cooking Magic and Alchemy Magic have a lot in common! Actually, Alchemy by itself is like cooking at the end of the day, you make a big stew but using ores, and other materials, sometimes it requires other steps like peeling, cutting, and pulverizing materials into dust, see? It's like cooking with materials, but the result is not a plate of food but an item, or well, potions too! Potions are edible, right? And most taste really good. So I thought, wait, if we can make potions and elixirs that we eat, then why not food? And I started the perilous journey of automatizing food production!"
"It hasn't gone well if you have still not made the practice popular though," my dad looked at her with a side eye.
"I-I am still perfecting it! But it will one day revolutionize the world, Allan! Mark my words!" said Felicia, as she sat down. "Anyways, girls, let's have breakfast."
"Okay but your hair is a mess, master, let me take care of that at least..." I sighed.
Her hair was as long as mine, but I always kept mine well clean and brushed, hers, in the other case, was a complete and utter mess! It was all puffy, and full of dust too!
"Hmm, Sylphyyy... be gentler with my hair please..." she complained as she ate pancakes.
"Well, I would if you had a cleaner hair! I can't believe how nasty it is, when was the last time you took a bath, master?" I asked.
"I don't really take one usually... once a month? I use the Clean spell on my body, isn't that enough?" she wondered.
"Eh?! That's not a real bath!" I sighed. "Your body still remains dry and accumulates sweat fast anyways, you need to take baths for hydration too, also your hair needs a good washing, with lots of shampoo and other essential oils..."
As I started to reprimand her habits, I did my best to restore her hair, adding in some oils and other things, and using the Clean spell several times, finally, her hair once more looked nice like yesterday, and I left it all silky clean.
"Geez, you're so much like your mother, I shouldn't have expected anything less, I suppose," Felicia sighed, as she petted my head. "You're a good girl, Sylphy. Thank you."
Despite thanking me, her face looked very pleased, like she was very happy I served her like this!
"Master, I am not your nanny, so you better keep your hair well clean," I said. "Maybe I am sounding a bit hypocrite here, but I don't really like when people don't take good care of their hygiene..." I looked at Celica and Celeste.
"I-I understand, I'll do it, okay? Sorry..." Felicia sighed.
As she apologized, my father looked at us in disbelief.
"I can't believe you made Felicia apologize out of nowhere..." my father couldn't help but laugh a bit at that.
"A-Ahh, sorry, I guess I got a bit carried away with that..."
As I sat down to finally eat, I enjoyed breakfast with everyone else.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The morning then went by, and once we finished eating breakfast, we washed the dishes together.
Once that was done with, it was finally time to start our training.
"Alright, I guess you're waiting for me to tell you what to do now..." Felicia sighed, as she was sitting while drinking tea. "Um, right, let's start with the basics. Some training should be needed to make you understand better the usage of Alchemy Magic and its applications on the world and the elements."
"I guess we're doing alchemy then?" Celeste wondered.
"Not exactly, well, technically yes," nodded Felicia. "But not the normal kind, you see. First, you need to get used to using alchemy for more than just, you know, synthetizing items. Applying Alchemy to every day things so you can better get attuned to the element of magic. So first of all..."
She started reading a book as she talked.
"For the first month, or a bit longer than that, you'll clean my entire house... using only and only alchemy spells," she said. "I can easily tell when you're using another spell inside my house, it is my domain after all! So if you ever try to cheat, I'll punish you accordingly!" "Wait, what? What do you mean we have to clean your house?!" I asked. "Master, are you for real?"
"Sylphy! I know you're worried and stuff, but you should learn to not question your master! Now, now, start cleaning. I want my house to be completely clean from dust and everything else! And only use alchemy to clean, no other spell, abilities, or even tools!" she said.
What... what kind of training is this?
