The Frontier Alchemist: I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

辺境の錬金術師 ~今更予算ゼロの職場に戻るとかもう無理~

Rust works in the basic research department of the Alchemist Guild, where he specializes in transmuting the basic materials that alchemists of other departments rely on. The guild's new president, a former government official, sees no value in that work and slashes the department's budget.

When the budget for the next term is cut to zero and the department is disbanded, an old friend from his academy days offers him a place developing a new territory in the borderlands. Seeing no future for himself at the guild, Rust resigns.

What the guild's bureaucrats fail to grasp is that Rust is one of the greatest alchemists alive: the materials he produces cannot be recreated by anyone else, and his departure throws the guild into chaos. Free of his old workplace, he settles on the frontier to develop new alchemy at his own pace.
