The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life, Vol. 3 (light novel) (The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life (light novel), 3)

There is no going back-only moving forwardThe Labyrinth's subjugation is close at hand, and the city's chemists are more knowledgeable than ever before. All of this could be credited to the efforts of a certain alchemist, puttering around in her little atelier. As Mariela works her magic on the city, those around her begin to confront Sieg is honing his combat skills to become an ARank adventurer, while Lynx is starting to come to terms with his feelings for Mariela. And even though no one promised that these carefree days would last forever, Mariela has never once thought to question it, basking in the warmth of her favorite people at Sunlight's Canopy... A girl out of time, a fish out of water. Alchemists used to be a dime a dozen in the Kingdom of Endalsia, so Mariela was never particularly special. But her skills were put to the test one fateful day when a horde of monsters came stampeding from the nearby forest. In a desperate attempt to escape the horror, the young alchemist put herself in a state of suspended animation that lasted just a little longer than she'd planned--an entire two hundred years! Needless to say, there have been some big changes, and biggest of all: Mariela is now the sole alchemist in the entire kingdom. Her one wish in this strange new environment is to get back her quiet, leisurely, low-key lifestyle! Teen alchemist Mariela's new life in the Labyrinth City is going swimmingly so far: She's purchased a home of her own, opened an apothecary, and befriended people from all walks of life, starting with a former penal laborer named Sieg. Only a select few know she's one of the last remaining alchemists, but that secret's proving harder and harder to keep under wraps. Between a startling discovery about the fearsome Labyrinth and the emergence of a powerful family of potion researchers, a quiet city life is easier said than done! "Two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Endalsia was destroyed by the monsters of the Fell Forest. The sole survivor is an alchemist named Mariela who escaped through suspended animation. When she wakes up, she learns alchemists have gone extinct, and potions are now at a high premium."-- Provided by publisher
