The laboratory was filled with flasks glowing with elemental energy. Albedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, was carefully mixing a blue substance with anemo powder.

"If this theory is correct... I'll be able to stabilize the wind's energy," he murmured as he jotted it down in his notebook.

At that moment, the window suddenly flew open.

—Always so boring with your experiments.

A figure gently fell into the laboratory.

He was a Wanderer. He sat down at the table, crossing his legs with his typical arrogant expression.

—What are you doing now? Something else useless?

Albedo didn't even flinch.

—I am testing a reaction between alchemy and anemo energy.

—What if it explodes?

Albedo looked up.

—It won't explode.

Right at that moment… The bottle started to shine too brightly.

—…That wasn't in the calculations.

Wanderer frowned.

-Hey?

BOOM!

A cloud of glittering dust filled the entire laboratory. When the smoke cleared, Wanderer was on the ground, coughing.

—Tch… what the hell did you do?

Albedo watched him silently for a few seconds.

-Curious.

Wanderer got up… but something felt different. Her clothes were a little looser in certain parts, her figure was more delicate, and her face seemed even softer.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he growled.

Albedo responded with complete scientific calm:

—It seems the alchemical reaction temporarily altered your physical form.

Wanderer looked at him, confused.

-That?

Albedo turned a mirror towards him.

Wanderer saw him… and froze. His appearance was now more refined, elegant, and androgynous, almost like that of a delicate boy.

—ALBEDO.

-Yeah?

—FIX THIS.

The alchemist calmly took notes.

—First, I'd like to observe the side effects.

Wanderer clenched his fists.

—I swear, if this isn't fixed soon…

Albedo tilted his head curiously.

—Fascinating. Even your anemo aura changed.

Wanderer took a deep breath, trying not to explode.

I'll fill this out too, sorry 💔
