Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 210: Kurama Will Handle It

"If you're not sure, I'll just save the conversation for a later day." Said Alexander lightly with a shake of his head as he suddenly stood up and stretched a little bit before exiting the room, causing Kurama to do the same.

"Just tell me, okay? We may not know each other that well, but you're Lavender's disciple... And lover, the least I could do to honor my best friend would be to help you." Stated Kurama softly as she quickly caught up to Alexander and grabbed his hand, prompting him to turn around with a raised eyebrow.

"Haa, okay, though it's nothing crazy; I'm just in a rough spot money-wise, and I was hop–" Replied Alexander with a slight sigh as he shook his head and cleared his throat, though he couldn't finish as Kurama suddenly handed him a sack of coins.

"Oh, it's just money? Why didn't you say so earlier? Money is the last thing I'm worried about." Remarked Kurama with a raised eyebrow as she outstretched her arm while holding a sack full of coins before Alexander, whose eyes faintly glowed.

I wasn't going to accept her offer since that's not why I came here, but my curiosity got the better of me, and I used [Heroes Gaze] to look at the coins inside the sack; however, what I saw were several coins I'd never seen before. The coins had a silver tint to them, but compared to the matt silver coins, these specific coins were much more glossy, not to mention slightly bigger.

"U-Um, are those possibly platinum coins?" Asked Alexander lightly as he glanced at the sack before looking at Kurama, who tilted her head in confusion before nodding.

"Yes, as an alchemist, I've hundreds of platinum coins, although, believe it or not, given my profession, I burn through money like no other; the amount in this sack would hardly last me two years." Replied Kurama with a wry smile as she jiggled the sack, causing coins hitting each other to echo through the room.

While it might've been very tempting to take that sack off her hands, I hadn't reached that point; I hadn't reached low enough to the point where I'd take money from my Master's friend, so in the end, I simply pushed the sack back to Kurama, who seemed confused by my actions.

"I appreciate it, Kurama, but you didn't let me finish speaking earlier. I'm struggling money-wise, so that's why I came here to ask the best way to sell these potions. Master was an alchemist just like you, and having lived with her for nearly seventeen years, I've learned a thing or two about alchemy." Stated Alexander with a faint smile while shaking his head, causing Kurama to to tilt her head in confusion before she raised an eyebrow in surprise as she grabbed the vial of golden water he handed her.

Now, I might've been bending the truth a little bit; I didn't learn all that much about alchemy from Master even though I spent a lot of time with her, though that's because I never really held a passion for alchemy like she did.

'Her passion for alchemy was one of the things I loved so much about her as well.' Mused Alexander with a faint smile as he glanced to the right, looking at a picture of Lavender, before shaking his head and shifting his focus to Kurama, who had just consumed his potion.

"Hmm, not only is it a very good potion, but it also tastes amazing, that's quite rare. I know Lavender is an amazing alchemist, but I've got some doubts she could impart enough skill into someone in only sixteen years for them to create such a good potion." Remarked Kurama with a slightly surprised expression as she smacked her lips, only for her to open her eyes and skeptically look at Alexander, who lightly chuckled.

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment, Kurama. However, yes, I did make these potions; they weren't that hard for me; it's just the ingredients that are pretty rare." Stated Alexander with a faint smile as he glanced at Kurama before reaching into his space pouch, only to hand her three more potions.
