Maybe they couldn't tell because she was too small and ugly. Since returning from the temple she hadn't eaten properly, so she had lost weight.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter anyway.'

Lelia escaped from her deep thoughts before becoming too depressed.

Near the tower were some soldiers, workers and servants.

As Damien said, Cedric really wanted to make the tower as a place to see constellations and give it to Juliana as a birthday present.

[... tch.]

Lelia bit her lip. For Juliana, they were stronger and better brothers than anyone else in the world. But for Lelia, they were villains.

[It's fine... I have friends who are stronger and cooler than Cedric and Damien.]

Besides, she was the captain of her friends.

[I don't have to be discouraged. Now I have this too.]

Lelia rubbed her necklace. She felt reassured.

But at that moment, a nerve-wracking thought popped up.

"How can I be sure it's not all a dream and this won't show up again?'

Lelia gulped in fear and touched the blue pendant. Fortunately, the screen appeared intact.

At that time, the front-facing alchemy tool twitched and a speech bubble appeared.

[Master, we need to acquire new ingredients to clear the recipes. Currently, the owner has 0 'new materials' (•᷄⌓•᷅)... ]

"...."

[New material....]

Lelia, who was thinking for a while, checked the list of new recipes. The ingredients for the new recipes were all unavailable.

[System][!]New alchemy materials in this world. What kind of ingredients could it be? Go around and look for ingredients!]

Come to think of it, those unavailable materials were very annoying.

In her previous life, she remembered seeing those grey coloured names, thinking that it was quite irritating to see them, and played like mad just to get rid of them.

[Should I really walk around? Like an augmented reality game?]

Lelia began to walk in the opposite direction of the tower. Then, the alchemy tool spoke up again.

[~~Yeaa~! (ง˙∇˙)ว~(ว˙∇˙)ง Looking for materials~~]

[Oh, nice!]

Then again, now wasn't the time to be leisurely searching for new ingredients and unlocking recipes.

[Unfortunately, I'm busy today because I have to run away.]

The alchemy tool sent a new message, perhaps reading Lelia's mind.

[Do you want to proceed with auto-discovery? ʕ•̀ o•́ʔ]

[Is it possible to find it automatically?]

[I can automatically retrieve the materials that exist near you! The fee is 1 gold per hour (๑•̀.•́๑)]

[I guess it can read my mind and answer...]

Lelia blinked in wonder. The alchemy tool began to spin excitedly.

[One gold per hour....]

Lelia looked at the gold amount stated at the bottom of the screen. It was money that could not be used in real life anyway.
