Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1706

Elsa then paused for a moment before adding, "But I was fortunate enough to make a breakthrough several days ago and become a first-grade high-rank alchemist."

Severin could not help but chuckle when he heard that. "First-grade high-rank alchemist? That's some good progress, and yet you're still so humble."

"You're progressing very quickly, Elsa! Plenty of people must be jealous of your talent," Sheila added. "It's a shame that we don’t have the aptitude for alchemy as you have. How we wish we could learn alchemy too!"

Elsa smiled and reassured them, "But you already have a steady supply of pills from your husband. Since you can always ask him to make some whenever you need, there's no reason to bother yourself with doing alchemy. It's a very laborious and time-consuming task."

"Shall we make a move?" Diane asked. "We'll take a walk around town and buy some groceries for our barbecue."

Severin agreed and said, "Oh, and I'd have to buy some wine from town, too. I need to replenish the stock in my spatial ring."

Sheila then chimed in. "Let's get going then! I can't wait any longer!"

Sheila asked, "Miss Gilda! Good to see you here!" She and everyone else were delighted that Gilda had joined them. They liked her, accepted her, and hoped that Severin might be able to win her heart as soon as possible.

"Please just call me Gilda. There's no need to be so formal," Gilda responded with a smile.

Gilda had been preoccupied with many thoughts after Severin confessed to her. She would occasionally find herself thinking about his outstanding qualities, believing that he was someone she could entrust her life to. For those reasons, she felt that she was ready to explore the prospect of being in a relationship with Severin.
