The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life, Vol. 2 (manga)

Summary

A two–hundred–year–long nap has left Mariela the only alchemist in town–except that’s a secret she definitely won’t be sharing. In order to hide her true origins, she’s going undercover as a chemist in the hopes of staying off the radar. While preparing to obtain her guild license and eventually open her own apothecary, Mariela begins to connect with residents of the Labyrinth City. Slowly but steadily, it starts to feel more like home…Is her dream of a quiet life finally within reach?
