Alchemist's Desire - Chapter 5: Feelings, Realized - Episode 1

Outside, Risette is seized by a wave of hunger. Paracelsus chooses this time to approach Risette and injects a green liquid into her. Risette faints, and the alchemist looks down at her with a dangerous expression of anticipation.

---

Risette: Miss Mireille, where—

Risette: ...!

Suddenly, Risette feels a painful pulse run through her body. She clutches her chest and slowly falls to the ground.

Risette: (Lately, my heart's been having strange palpitations...)

Risette: (Is there some sort of failure? Come to think of it, my memory has also been hazy...)

Risette: (But no use worrying about that. Right now, the important thing is finding Miss Mireille and...)

Risette: Huh...

Risette: ...

???: Hm... Looks like you're reaching your state of hunger a lot faster now.

The sound of a man's voice catches Risette's attention. She turns to find a man approaching from behind her.

Risette: More... More!

???: Relax.

Without warning, numerous chains shoot out from where the man is standing and wrap themselves around Risette, restraining her movements.

Risette: Ergh! Aaaaah!

???: Don't worry, I'll release you before long. As soon as I inject this into you.

The man takes out a syringe containing a green liquid and jabs the needle into Risette in one swift movement.

Risette: ...!

Risette: ...

After a while, her convulsions die down and Risette loses consciousness. A satisfied smile spreads across the man's lips.

???: Now the preparations are complete.

???: Heh heh heh... Yes. I shall use that fleeting life of yours for my philosopher's stone.

The man, Paracelsus, casts his gaze down on Risette's limp body, not a hint of compassion in his cold, distant eyes.
