Lousy Luck Kicked In

When morning came, Mike and Sun Yu prepared to welcome their day with a hearty breakfast. After that, they change into their white robes to look clean and tidy for the day.

They took a taxi to go to the Alchemy Association building earlier than the appointed time to ensure they were on time.

The traditional medicine shop wasn't open yet, but a minibus and a jeep were parked near the entrance. A girl in a white-grey robe was standing next to the jeep as if she was waiting for something. Yet, she was pleasantly surprised when she saw Mike's arrival.

"Ah, nice to see you again, Mike-sama. You came quite quickly from the appointed time." Itsuko greeted in a friendly manner.

"Mm, good morning, Tamai-san. I like to come on time, actually." Mike answered the greeting with a bright good morning smile.
