The second day passed quickly, and following the same method, the object was successfully drawn.

Returning to the center of the magic circle, she placed a small amount of blood from her fingertips on her chest, having deliberately worn a loose-fitting garment so that the blood could be placed directly on her chest while it was still flowing.

"We meet again, or rather, we've reconnected. I have something I want to tell you... I already have the answer to yesterday's question." As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket, revised it many times, and chose the one that best expressed her true thoughts and resonated with the other person's feelings.

"I've found the answer to your question, and I hope you won't disappoint me. Once I acknowledge you, I will also tell you the answer to your question. It's a two-way street, mutually beneficial. You certainly understand the concept of equivalent exchange, right?"

Those who are just learning about these things can understand that the reason why alchemy can fulfill the wishes of many people is essentially an equivalent exchange.

"My answer is love..."

"...Are you joking? If so, I might think you're not someone I can talk to..."

"If you don't listen to a poem, you won't be able to understand what the author is trying to express. I mean, if you can't understand all of this, I'll explain my point of view to you."

“That makes some sense. Please continue.”

"Love is the most fundamental thing in creating a life. I'm not exaggerating or anything, but humans are social beings. Many people think love is something ethereal and intangible, but everything I've experienced in this world tells me that love is a real thing. It's something that can transcend time, space, and even life and death..."

"...So, according to you, enough love can bring a life into being?"

"Of course I understand that some children are not born because of love, but I have seen more people who live because of love. They came into this world because of love. Love brings strangers together and makes them family and friends. It is a very important thing. A person needs to have been loved at least to have a period of happy life."

Is happiness the foundation of everything? This scholar, or rather, the greatest alchemist, chose to remain silent.

"Of course I understand my thoughts. Perhaps they seem too naive to you, but emotions are a very special force. Love is a positive feedback force, which is what I call the foundation of life creation. You create a life because of love..."

"A very interesting point of view. I'll try to look into it again. As for you... I'll answer your question. You asked me, 'How do I wake up from a dream?' What you want to ask me isn't the actual dream, but an abstract concept. You want to ask me how to detach myself from pain and illusion. That's the biggest problem. You seem to have a peculiar obsession, constantly adding new obsessions to your existing ones. Over time, you feel like you're having a dream..."

Yes, that's right. I am indeed having a dream called life, and I struggle endlessly within it, to the point that I can no longer distinguish between reality and dreams. Whether I'm in a dream or in reality, I've long since lost the ability to tell...

This is the answer to everything; tell me what a dream is and what reality is.

“Your answer has made some things clear to me. It seems you are indeed a great alchemist… I acknowledge you.”

"I'll reluctantly acknowledge you, Erdana..."

"Tell me your name..."

The communication was cut off because of time constraints. This connection had consumed too much energy, and the few devices used for power supply had all been exhausted. We can only find out the other person's name next time. But she is a very busy person. Will she have time next time?

Have I aroused enough interest? Is that enough? Perhaps...
