Even Hell’s Affairs Depend on Gold – I Got Fired, but I’ve Acquired an Alchemy Cheat Skill, So I’m Aiming for a Major Life Turnaround

Volume 1 Chapter 101



Lying on the sofa, I watched Kaede-chan, who was sitting on the floor. The reason she was on the floor was that she was doing yoga.

“What’s up?” Kaede-chan asked, meeting my gaze while holding a pose that involved bending her legs in strange directions, bringing her hands to her head, and pushing her chest out.

“You’re really flexible,” I commented, impressed by her ability to bend that much. I consider myself quite flexible, but Kaede-chan is on another level.

“I’ve been doing it since I was young.”

“Huh…”

I continued to watch her, intrigued.

“It’s okay to look, but I’m most proud of my leg line and butt, so please focus there.”

She seemed proud of her legs and butt. I thought her protruding chest was noteworthy, but as she’s sitting, her butt isn’t visible.

“You have a great figure, even though you’re not tall,” I noted. Kaede-chan, wearing thin, comfortable exercise clothes, revealed her body line clearly. She’s around 155 cm tall, petite overall, but with long, slender legs and a decent bust size. Very sexy and cute.

“Right? This is the result of 24 years of hard work. You should try it too, Eleanor-san.”

“I’m already adventuring in Frontier.”

“That’s different. Watch out, you might start getting a belly in your 30s.”

“Maybe I should start running when I’m free…”

I definitely don’t want to get fat. A senior colleague once said it hits you all at once. I need to be careful.

“Good idea. Your diet has been pretty erratic.”

Fast food, dining out, and alcohol…

“I’m practicing the Potion Health Method. Want to try it, Kaede-chan?”

“What’s that? Some new crazy thing?”

She continued her yoga while asking.

“Drink a recovery potion before bed.”

“That’s extravagant.”

“I drank a Level 3 Recovery Potion yesterday.”

“That’s just ridiculous.”

I agree, though.

“Doesn’t it seem like it would boost metabolism?”

“Maybe. Do you feel any effects?”

“I feel great in the morning, except it’s too cold to get out of bed.”

Can’t help that.

“Hmm, I’ll try it.”

“Great. Oh, and I need to make Potion Soap.”

I remembered I was going to make that when Yoshino-san arrived. And I forgot to give the Auto-Map to Satsuki-san. I’ll just entrust it to Kaede-chan.

“Another crazy idea?”

“Nanapon, the idiot, came up with it. Instead of a Potion Bath, which is cold, he suggested mixing recovery potion into body soap.”

“Hmm, mixing it into shampoo or conditioner might improve hair quality.”

Good point. Very ladylike.

“Let’s try that. Mixing potion with dish soap worked well, so this might be effective too.”

“Let me know if it works.”

“Will do.”

I’ll try my best for Kaede-chan.

I retrieved my bag from my room, placed it on the low table in front of the sofa, and took out a recovery potion, body soap, and a bottle I bought from a dollar store.

“Making it here?”

“Yep, might as well.”

“Okay…”

I mixed the potion and body soap while occasionally glancing at Kaede-chan.

“Done! This is alchemy!”

“Feels like a kid’s craft project.”

“Shut up, Kaede-chan! Let’s test it.”

“Going to bathe?”

“Yeah. I’ll quickly wash up.”

“Then try the Potion Shampoo and Conditioner too.”

Might as well since I’m bathing anyway.

“Can I use yours?”

“Sure.”

I fetched Kaede-chan’s shampoo and conditioner, returned to the living room, and took out more potion and bottles.

“Let’s alchemize!”

“You’re like a kid playing with paint.”

“Shut it, Kaede-chan!”

Ignoring her teasing, I mixed the potion with the shampoo and conditioner.

“Done in a flash!”

“Obviously.”

Well, it’s just mixing.

“Let’s test it. Turn into Eleanor-san for it. The effects will be more noticeable.”

“Eleanor-san? My skin’s already soft and bouncy.”

I’m not fat. I have soft, supple skin thanks to potion baths.

“Mine too. That’s why you’ll notice the difference.”

Makes sense. Better to test on a female body for Kaede-chan to see the effects.

“I’ll go then.”

I packed the modified body soap, shampoo, and conditioner into my bag.

“Have fun.”

I went to the changing room, undressed, drank a TS potion, and quickly transformed into Eleanor-san. Touching my arm, I noted the texture.

“Okay, this is the ‘before’ feel.”

After showering and drying my long hair, I wrapped a bath towel around my body and returned to the living room, where Kaede-chan had finished her

yoga and was resting on the sofa. I sat next to her.

“Look, isn’t it pretty good?”

I showed her my silky hair.

“Wow, it’s really silky… But where are your clothes?”

She pointed out my towel-only attire.

“Just for a while. Aren’t you calling Clare?”

I had forgotten about that.

“I’ll get dressed later. But my skin feels good too.”

I let my hair fall and stroked my exposed arm for her to see.

“Let me see… Wow! It’s really nice!”

She touched my arm and thigh, smiling. Slightly suggestive, but I didn’t mind as it was Kaede-chan.

“Right? Try it too. I’ll touch you afterward.”

She must be sweaty from yoga, perfect timing.

“Uh, are you suggesting I come out in just a towel too?”

Basically, yes.

“No, better wear clothes. Actually, it’s cold.”

It’s November, after all.

“Get dressed, please.”

“Okay…”

Cold…

“I’ll go bathe too.”

“Alright. I’ll call Clare in the meantime.”

“Please do.”

I stood up to dress in my room, and Kaede-chan headed to hers for a bath.

I decided not to wait in the hallway this time.
