This Time, I Am A Mob's Potions Teacher Who Has Become Engaged To The Mastermind Of The Otome Game - 4

“Hey everyone, can you tell me about Moryu?”

“Sure—if you give us sweets!”

After Noel left, I went to the prep room and called out to the fairies, and they came out one after another.

Apparently, this time they’re asking for chocolate.

I guess I’ll have to go buy some first thing tomorrow morning.

“Is there anywhere in this country where it grows? If you know, I’d love it if you could tell me.”

“In the Finis Forest~”

“Oh, it’s surprisingly close, huh?”

It was so easy to get a lead that I was a little let down.

I felt like I’d already avoided the bad ending—until…

“Humans can’t go there~”

“It’s called the ‘Backside Finis’~”

“It’s the Finis Forest, but not really~”

I was instantly crushed.

“Backside Finis”? That name never appeared in the game!

And it sounds ridiculously shady!

Jill, who had been listening nearby, furrowed his brows immediately.

“Ugh, I didn’t want to hear that name.”

His ears pinned back, clearly showing how much he disliked that place.

“What kind of place is this Backside Finis?”

“Well, it’s where spirits live~”

“It’s really close to the afterlife~”

“Even we fairies hardly go there~”

It’s definitely a place humans shouldn’t approach.

“This is bad. I need Moryu, but it’s in a place humans can’t reach?”

How did Noel get it in the game? There were only brief flashbacks, so there’s not enough information.

“Isn’t there some way to go?”

“If you transform, Leticia can go too~”

“Really? But humans aren’t allowed, right?”

“Just stop being human~”

“I see, it must be a place where humans can’t endure the magical energy.”

The world where fairies live is said to be the same—humans’ bodies can change if they enter, according to legends. Maybe Backside Finis is similar.

“So I’ll have to use a transformation potion.”

“Hey, girl. Don’t look at me like that.”

Jill was annoyed, swishing his tail.

He clearly knew what I was thinking.

“Come on, give me just a strand or two of your fur.”

“No way! What if I end up bald?!”

“I’ll be super careful, promise~”

No matter how much I begged, Jill wouldn’t budge.

What a stingy cat.

“I wanted to try being a cat though…”

“In that case, want a Cait Sith whisker~?”

One of the fairies held out a cat whisker.

Apparently, it fell out when we were playing together before.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Just give us extra marshmallows~”

“So it’s not a gift after all.”

These tiny merchants never miss a beat.

Thus, I was now stuck going out tomorrow morning to buy chocolate and marshmallows.

“Is there anyone who knows the Finis Forest well? I’d like a guide.”

When I casually asked, the once-chattering fairies all fell silent, and the room grew eerily quiet.

“I’ll pay, of course. I want someone who knows the area.”

“We don’t really know it that well~”

Makes sense—they did say it’s a place they rarely go.

What should I do? I’d definitely get lost if I went alone.

“Maybe the treant knows~”

“What? Seriously?”

The treant and I had a bit of a situation last time I visited the Finis Forest, so things are kind of awkward. Plus, he didn’t seem to like humans much.

“The treant likes Professor Roaek~”

“If you mention Professor Roaek, he’ll help~”

“We’ll negotiate for you~”

“Really?”

It’s a little hard to believe, but if there’s even a chance, I have to take it.

“I’ll count on you then. Please go talk to him soon.”

“And throw in biscuits and candy too~”

These tiny merchants are way too sly.

In under an hour, I ended up agreeing to buy a mountain of sweets. I honestly feel like I’ve fallen victim to a scam.

I’ll leave the guide negotiations to them. That just leaves one more problem.

“I have to make the transformation potion.”

It tastes awful, and it looks gross too, so I really don’t want to drink it, but… I’ve got no choice. Ugh…
