Of course I would, I'm the foremost alchemical expert in a place none of these people have ever heard of.

It sounds the same, they're using a lot of the same vocabulary and I can follow discussions right up until they get to results. And then I'm completely lost. This is something closer to standard chemistry, but not quite that either. [And they almost certainly can't turn lead into gold. It's like they're not even trying.

...On the other hand, this means not having to worry about someone else with the capability of making a Philosopher's Stone. Naoki barely trusts himself with that power.]

I wouldn't recommend trying half these concoctions. The side effects don't sound worth it.
