CSA 58 - I Went Through a Sanity Check (Patreon)

With the dejected Alrina in tow, I went to a butcher shop and other places to buy groceries, and then returned to the inn.

I entered the room and took out 10,000 El worth of gold coins from Storage and gave it to Alrina. Also, I took out the clothes and travel bag. Also a full-length mirror. Also every kind of pilot suit.

“I'm going out for a while to make some potions and such, so Alrina, please freely do as you please.”
“Umm...?”
“Wouldn’t I get in the way if I stayed?”
“Aah... I see.”
“Then, I’m off.”
“Take care!”

Arlina blushing and stretching her voice as if trying to cover something up is also very cute.

I don't think checking your spoils of war with a friend is a bad idea, but as I thought, I think you’d be less reserved if you were alone.
I am the kind of person capable of such consideration.

I left Alrina, who might be holding a solo fashion show, at the inn and went to the nearby forest.

“Now then, shall I work on replenishing my high potion stock?”

First, I’ll use Appraisal Skill to find the medicinal herbs that should be growing in the area, harvest the medicinal herbs so that the roots remain, take out high fertilizer potion from Storage, spray it, and repeat the harvesting until a certain amount has gathered, and create high potions to fill my Storage. For now, let's aim for 3 stacks of 900 bottles.

I worked silently and alone, the monotonous work progressed in the quiet forest, until I realized that I had created about 1,200 high potions.

“Wouldn’t it have been more efficient to create a fruit tree with a healing effect and make it into a potion?”

It's too late, but since I came up with an idea, let's make it.

I took out an apple from storage and nibbled it whole.
I synthesized the leftover apple seeds with high potion to create apple seeds with healing effects.
I planted it in an open area, sprayed it with high fertilizer potion, and let it grow until it bore fruit.

“Good, good, it has a healing effect.”

Now that I have an apple tree with a healing effect, I take one of the apples and use Potion Creation Skill to create a high potion.

“Huh? Mega potion?”

For some reason, a mega potion was created, but when I think about it, I grew the apple seeds that have the healing effects of a high potion using a high fertilizer potion, so, isn’t it possible that they grew better?

“Well, I guess I'll just have to count myself lucky.”

I put some apples in Storage and made the rest into mega potions, trees and all, making about 700 of them.

“It's truly a money tree! ...Ha!?”

Wait a minute... That kind of thing, is it possible...?
Wouldn’t that be dangerous after all? It’s dangerous, right? It's so dangerous that I might leak...

“But I’m going to do this, aren’t I? This thing.”

I synthesized apple seeds with gold.
I planted it in the ground and sprayed it with high fertilizer potion.
An apple tree shining golden is visibly growing.

“Ooh... I think Alrina will go crazy if I show this to her...”

The golden apple.
They appear in myths and legends in every part of the world, and are truly the height of fantasy.

“This kind of thing, there’s no way I can show this to anyone...”

It's no more than something that would spark a war, so I mustn’t make the mistake of selling it at a store.

“It's a waste, but I'll dispose of it.”

With that being said, before I dispose of it, let’s try making a potion out of it.

“Gold potion. Umm, if you drink it, your excrement and urine will turn into gold...”

A real golden water... should I try making Alrina drink it...

Joking aside, let’s consider the golden apple a special-grade dangerous item, and use my Alchemy Skill to turn it into a gold ingot and store it in Storage.

By the way, a golden apple is too hard for an ordinary person's jaw to eat. I don't think it would be delicious even if you eat it though.

*

When I looked up at the sky, the sun had moved past the peak, so it seemed like about three hours had passed.

What a terrifying concentration.
I was a little taken aback, if I say so myself.

This should be enough for the potions, but I want to kill time until the evening, so let's move on to other tasks.

I take out aero adamantite from Storage and try synthesizing it to my nails.

“Hohou. Aero adamantite nail, is it...?”

It has become something that is definitely impossible to cut with a normal nail clipper, but if I process it with Alchemy Skill, there will be no problem. Its appearance has not changed in any particular way, so it should be fine.

Next, I thought about synthesizing aero adamantite with my bones, but I thought that liquefying it before synthesizing it would make even my skin hard, so I used Body Modification Skill to expose the bones of my left arm.

“Uugh, so grotesque...”

My sanity has dropped drastically, but not enough to make me go crazy.

I synthesize aero adamantite with the exposed bones.

“Aero adamantite bone, a light and hard growing metal bone... fumu.”

There is no change in appearance here either. I don't feel any pain, but it feels as light as a feather compared to my right arm. If it's only this much change, I’m sure I’ll get used to it quickly.

With that being the case, let’s synthesize it into the bones of my whole body.

“As expected, my back is difficult...”

I’m mostly finished with the bones that can be seen, but the one in my own back is impossible.

So I would like to create another one of myself.

“Clone Magic”

I tried summoning another one of myself using Clone Magic of Universal Magic Skill.

“...Fufun.”
“...CutE.”

Even if I cloned myself, it doesn't seem like my thoughts are dispersed. At best, it makes multitasking easier.

* (T/N: meaning, she’s still one person, just with two bodies. Not like Naruto clones where a clone is fairly independent of the original.)

...You-know-what will be making progress, though.

“What do you think about graduating using both of our bodies?”
“As expected, I want to dedicate it to someone I love, that’s what Lotorl thinks, right?”
“I know right?”

It feels strange to have a conversation with yourself.
You can get a clearer answer than if you think only in your head.

“Then, I leave my backside to you.”
“Rog.”

There is only one thought process, so there is no need to talk every time, but somehow I feel like I have to.
I think it feels more like talking to a family member than talking to a mirror.

When I took off my clothes and used my Body Modification Skill to open up my backside, I went through a sanity check because of my clone's shared vision.

Let's make a 100-sided die from dirt using Alchemy Skill, and if I get a roll of 50 or more, that means I’m crazy.

“Hoi.”

The dice I threw rolled around on the ground and stopped at 90.

Lotorl was crazy.

“Ehe, ehehe, ehehehe. Lotorl-chwan, let’s kiss, chuu~”
“Uwa, it's even grosser than seeing in the mirror.”

Since it was myself, I enjoyed the french kiss without any restraint.
I'm scared that I'll end up getting addicted to pleasures that I can't experience with the mirror. My lips are too sensitive.

Enough joking around, I also synthesized aero adamantite into the bones on my back side, resulting in the bones of my whole body being updated to aero adamantite bones.
Lotorl has evolved into an Aero Adamantite Human!

“For now, it’s time for an experiment. Please hit me as hard as you can.”
“Toryaa!”
“Auu!”

My clone punched me in the face as hard as she could, but it hurt just like normal. My clone's fist hurts too.

“I guess I also need to strengthen my skin, muscles, and internal organs.”

I don't want to synthesize aero adamantite with my skin and muscles because it might take away human warmth and make it difficult to do lewd things, so should I try using aero adamantite silicone?

I synthesize aero adamantite silicone with my upper arm and check how it feels.

“Hmm, I guess it feels more squishy? Try biting it.”
“Gobble, chew chew chew.”
“It’s moderately painful. If you bite any further, I feel like your teeth will break, so I guess this is enough.”
“Sure thing!”

And so, I synthesized aero adamantite silicone with my skin and muscles.

“All that’s left is internal organs, huh... I'm worried about whether I can maintain my sanity...”

I think I can synthesize aero adamantite silicone with my internal organs, but would it be possible to see them directly?

“Just do it, it’s easy for Lotorl, right?"
“What a troublesome thing. Another one of myself, that is...”
“I’m sure anything is possible with Lotorl!”
“It's hell from here, you know...?”
“Let me see! Lotorl!”
“...Yes, you don't need to tell me, I know I can do it!!”

After a discussion between the me that wanted to do it and the me that didn't want to do it, I decided to do it.
Well, I’ve already decided from the beginning that I’ll do it, so it’s only a farce though.
I just wanted to establish my determination.

Using Body Transformation Skill, I opened up starting from my chest to my stomach, exposing my internal organs, and synthesized aero adamantite silicone into each of my throbbing internal organs.

“Ugh, it's too grotesque... I feel like throwing up...”
“Please do your best, me! I'm almost done!”
“I suppose I'll never forget the feeling of a beautiful girl's internal organs for the rest of my life.”
“A priceless experience!”

Heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, intestines, bladder. As I used my Appraisal Skill while synthesizing the things in that order, I realized something.

“...As expected, messing with that is...”
“If it's just a little...”
“That's, true... then, just a little.”

The instant I touched it just a little bit, an electric current ran through my brain.

“Ah.”

My memory from that point on is vague.
There is no doubt that I lost my sanity and went crazy because I looked too closely at my internal organs.
In the end, I had to use a mega potion.

“We overdid it. I reflect.”
“But it was amazing! Let's do it again!”
“I won't!”
“Eeh, come on, let's do it?”
“Let's erase our memory.”
“Uuu... it's such a waste...”

I don't need the kind of pleasure that only the insane can attain.
I erased it, leaving behind only the painful memories so that I would never do it again.

“Now then, next is the head.”
“Uee...”

I opened up my head to expose my brain and synthesized aero adamantite silicone into it.
The color of a beautiful girl's brain was a beautiful pink. Don’t say that she only thinks about erotic things.

Things like my eyeballs, eardrums, semicircular canals, and tongue are synthetized with aero adamantite silicone, while my teeth are synthesized with aero adamantite, and all work is completed.

“Oh, I forgot about the hair.”
“Let's liquefy it and synthesize it with aero adamantite silicone”

In a familiar process, I synthesized the liquefied aero adamantite silicone into my entire hair.

“It's even softer and feels even better to the touch.”
“Should I call myself The Complete Lotorl, or maybe the Perfect Lotorl?”

It's wonderful workmanship, even if I say so myself.
With this perfect body, even if I am in fire, water, or hit by a meteorite, I won’t even flinch.

I’ll suffocate though.

“Please try hitting me again.”
“Oryaa!”
“Auu.”

It kinda hurts, it kinda doesn't, I guess it hurts just a little.
Next, let's make an iron bat and take a full swing.

I took out iron from Storage and used Alchemy Skill to form it into a bat. Then, I passed it to my clone.

“Hmph! Hmph! Here I go!”
“Come at me!”
“Toryaa!!”
“Gyann!?”

I took a full swing to my head with an iron bat, but it didn't hurt as much as I expected.

“The bat broke.”
“Scary!”

Even though it's my own body, to think you can bend an iron bat that hit you with such force, Lotorl, what a terrifying child

“Next, let’s try a knife.”
“Kya─, it’s a self-murder─!”

I used Alchemy Skill to process the broken iron bat into a knife with a blade length of about 25cm, and had my clone body stab me.

“Then, go ahead!”
“Oujou Seiya, come and die!”
“O-!”

I tried to stab my abdomen as hard as I could, but the pain was as bad as being poked with a toothpick, and it didn't even penetrate the epidermis.

“The knife is curled up I see.”
“All right, next, let's try using an adamantite knife.”

I took out adamantite from storage, made it into a knife, and tried to cut at my index finger.

“It won’t cut.”

Now I know that aero adamantite silicone skin is harder than adamantite.
I knew from my Appraisal Skill that the material synthesized into my skin was harder than just adamantite, but there are things you can't know until you experience it.

“Next, should I try attacking with magic?”
“Fireball.”
“Hot!?”

My whole body was engulfed in flames from the fireball, but it was only as hot as when I was in a sauna, so there seemed to be no particular problem.

“Pft!”
“Aah!?”

Because of the clone's vision sharing, I noticed that my eyebrows and eyelashes were burned away. Or rather, to think I was laughing at myself when I saw my stupid face, how horrible I am!

I took out high potion from Storage and sprinkled it on my face to regrow my eyebrows and eyelashes, then synthesized aero adamantite silicone into them. With this, it’s perfect.

Just to be clear, I'm completely naked now, so my clothes aren't on fire and things like me screaming ‘Noo!’ didn’t happen.

Nn? Being completely naked even in a deserted forest will make you scream ‘Noo!’? That’s true.

“Next, let's try dropping lightning.”
“Thunder.”
“GYAAAAA!?”

IthurtsIthurts!? It hurts so bad!?

“Og, ooggg...”
“I'm glad we don't share the sense of pain...”

Although I didn't have a single wound on my body, I felt a sharp pain that felt like static electricity running through my entire body, and I collapsed on the spot.

“It won't kill me, but electricity is no good, I see.”

Aeronium, adamantite, and silicone are not supposed to be conductive, but it is possible that they became conductive because they were synthesized into my skin and the like.
Or rather, the body moves by having electrical signals sent from the brain, so it’s obvious that it’s conductive. In fact, if it becomes nonconductive, wouldn't it be pretty bad?

“Lotorl won't die. I'm here after all.”

The clone will not disappear on its own until its magical power is exhausted, so it's a little troublesome, but as long as I compound the clone back into my original body, everything will be okay.
If you are prepared you don't have to worry! As expected of me!

After that, I tried using physical magic such as Wind Magic and Earth Magic to see if they would hurt my body, but I was very satisfied because none of the magic could hurt me.
