After explaining her situation and what she needed from the old man, Blush placed a contract in front of the old man. "I have made my requests but what are your own? There must he something that you will want from this?"
The old man thought to himself. 'I really have no choice, I am dying anyways and will leave nothing behind after I am gone so this is the only way to possibly make a final request of anyone.'
He had a determined look on his face and said. "I know that this city is falling apart and things are becoming worse. I know a kid like you will not be able to change things but please just try to help out some others that are caught up in what is happening.
It is easy for people in my position who live in the back streets to hear certain things and detect when things have changed for worse or better. I do not have a good feeling about how things will continue to progress and even if one vulnerable person has been saved from it, I will be grateful."
Blush thought about it and asked. "How would you like to word that though? Is this person or a couple of people to be saved or helped out? Is this limited to a specific group related to you or does this mean that it is not just limited to those within this city? If there is no specific requirement then the request will become too complicated or difficult for me to carry out."
Each person that she could save or help out would need to be limited to the time that she remained within the city so she could not go around trying to save a large number.
If there numbers were reduced for those she would help and the area where she could help out people would not restrict her to just the city which would make it easier for her to complete.
If there were too many things for her to do within a specific place or time then she would not be able to do it even if she tried but if the wording was too loose, Blush could easily just find loopholes to exploit.
Saving or helping one person could just mean one action of helping then she could leave them on their own to encounter dangers.
It could also mean that she had to ensure their life for a certain duration of time or that she had to fully take in that person under her protection.
If the contract was not worded correctly then there could be all kinds of problems that would arise and they would get in the way of her current plans and studies.
The old man thought it over and said. "Just help two people without the intent of gaining anything from them. If they are willing to accept your help or not is their own problem. I would prefer if you helped out a couple of the kids in the back streets. Now that I think of it, there are some kids I have in mind. If you can help them then I will be satisfied."
The old man started writing down the details of those he wanted her to help out and to what extent they would be helped out by Blush while they discussed things back and forth.
It did not completely match the past thoughts of Blush who wished to maintain things as they are or should be but the more that she moved around, the more that she began acting on her own needs or whims.
Her previous idea for an organisation was her own selfish wish for more power and resources and it would not conflict too much with what was happening except in some areas.
So long as Alchemi slotted itself somewhere in the middle and kept the funds and resources coming in then it would not affect the development of other groups that much as long as she did not go overboard with releasing too advanced products.
Those that would sign contracts with her would be bound to certain rules to prevent them from appearing in the history of the world once more and affecting the course of events too much.
Saving and leaving people on their own would cause unknown butterfly effects but Blush had already done some things that could blow back onto her or others no matter how careful she was.
Blush had soon come to accept that she could not accomplish one thing and one longterm goal that she had in mind could interfere with her own growth is she prioritised it too much.
Waiting around for hundreds of years for the development of earth and for certain geniuses to be born to develop their greatest inventions was beneficial for her understanding of more complicated mechanical subjects that she was not specialised in.
Waiting for the arrival of the later Brief and Gero families to develop their greatest achievements would take up so much time and with her psychic abilities unlocking greater potential within herself, Blush believed that it was possible for her to get there before them.
She had so much longer to explore different areas outside her own specialisations and her area of study would not be limited to a single planet if Blush had found a way to leave earth.
Different minds can come up with alternative methods or something unique that others had overlooked so it was in her best interests to still make sure that they would develop as they should so that she could have a backup plan in case she could not figure out those areas herself or with those that would be a part of her team.
Blush just needed to stay away and not actively interfere with certain parts of the world then things could progress naturally as she had intended which meant that she could still visit other islands and set up her own influence there.
There were far more islands that she could live on and the universe was much wider to allow her room to explore and discover new things.
She knew that sticking around would only attract the attention of the demons and that her attempts to remain hidden would not be foolproof, she would be found if there was someone capable enough to make use of the small clues that were left behind during her entry and exit of the Demon Realm.
There was still room for benefitting from some events so long as she did not interfere with how they had developed naturally.
Blush had thought to herself as she was listening to the old man. 'What is a few changes here or there? All that matters is that certain family lines end up where they should and all that is required for that to work is to be able to monitor their progress from the shadows or to be the one to be their greatest supporter to ensure their place in the world.
Alchemi can be the foundation to develop mages and special ability users in the shadows while the group itself will invest in certain special talents and would help gather more information. Helping out a few others according to a contract or doing favours for some people along the way should not get in the way of that too much.'
The old man signed the contract after it had been completed and then he was secretly brought to the room where old man Arbor was staying.
His health was already steadily declining and old man Arbor was steadily improving so Blush had to move her plans along so that everything would work out as she had calculated.
