Reincarnated as an Alchemist - If i have no cheat then, i just have to make one

Chapter 55 - Ren's Boredom

Lately things had became more and more boring as time passed. Most of the time, I was just secluding myself in my lab for teaching my disciples or making potions. I sometimes visited Alicia to check on her study but it didn't last long as I was just distracting her.

Assembling information from my legion members were quite interesting but it became nearly useless knowledge as I had no means of using it for something unless I left this place and returned to that territory.

"Is something bothering you, Ren?"

Lucio greeted me when I was absentminded. I looked toward her and saw a bottle in her hand.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She asked.

"I guess it's not bad if only for a bit."

I said. Lucio grinned when she heard my answered. We left my study and headed to an empty balcony of my lab. 

"So, what's bothering you?"

She asked while pouring the content of her bottle into a glassware she fetched from her bag. 

"Hmm... nothing much. I just kind of bored with things here."

I said.

"Boredom huh? That's kind of a troublesome problem you have."

She said before gulping down the content of her glass.

"Don't you have something to research on?"

She asked.

"I do, but the materials aren't available here."

I replied. Lucio sighed after took another glass of her drink.

"I see... Then, if i were giving you an interesting topic of research, will you do the research on that?"

She asked.

"Depend on the topic. Also, the current state of ours isn't really good for doing any research."

I said.

"In that case, for someone who bears the Demon Flag of Death, what do you think of reincarnation?"

She asked. The word reincarnation piqued my interest for a bit. Judging from her tone, she was either a reincarnator or someone who wishes to be reincarnated.

"Why do you ask that?"

I asked her to ensure the simple doubt inside my mind.

"There are many reason for that. First, if it really exists, i wish to know whether my beloved one is reincarnated into a better life or not."

She said before pouring another glass of her drink into her throat.

"I see... The other reason?"

I tried to pry it deeper.

"Honestly, I want to start over again. You know, I was trapped in this feminine body for more than 40 years already. As a demon lord, we had long life and our appearance growth is slowing down or rather it will stop on certain extent. That is why, I want to restart my life and had a proper one from the beginning. I mean, be born normally, grew up, having friend, falling in love, having a family, and dying in peace. That was what I really wanted since I had completely become a demon lord."

She said.

"And the third reason?"

I asked her.

"..."

She fell silent.

"Don't wanna talk about it?"

I asked. She looked at the bottle in her hand.
