Leo Enjoyed Being Able To Play “Ramogi that isn’t powdered… Petals with beneficial effects, dried and not dried. Also…” Sebastian went on listing various herbs and states to Ms. Helena. As for me, I did not think that adding Ramogi powder to the wine was likely to work. But Sebastian seemed convinced. And by testing it with Ramogi in different states, as well as other herbs, we could see how the wine would be affected, and whether or not it was viable to make some medicinal liquor. Regardless of the disease, he thought we could make some kind of health drink. Indeed, I had considered it myself. Ramogi isn’t for health, so we should also try and test it with other herbs… “Well, I suppose there is no harm in testing it… We can make a little bit and see what happens.” “Very well.” We already knew what effect Ramogi had on the illness, but that was not the case with other herbs. For all we knew, some herbs might just make the illness even worse. And so Sebastian wanted to test it in small batches first. After making this request to Ms. Helena and the cooks, Sebastian and I left the kitchen. “And now we just have to wait for Phillip to return with the wine barrels.” “Yes. I do hope that the herbs are effective…” I suppose everyone felt a sort of anxiety when thinking about making something new. “I am sorry that this took up more of your time than expected.” “No. I do think it was a good idea, so please don’t worry about it.” So saying, I separated from Sebastian and went out into the back garden. “Ah, Mr. Takumi.” “Master!” “Wuff-wuff.” “Kyau.” In the garden, Tilura, Milina, and Sherry were riding on Leo and playing. They saw and called out to me, and then Leo came running… While still carrying her passengers. “All of you. I see that you were nice enough to play with Leo while I was gone.” “Oh, but it was Leo who was nice enough to play with us, master.” “Leo was gone for so long!” “Kyau-kyau!” “I see. You must be happy, Leo.” “Wuff-wuff.” They all looked like they were having fun while riding on Leo. As we had stayed in Range village for quite a long time, Tilura and the others were very happy to be able to play with Leo. While she had returned to the mansion once to deliver the glass sphere, Leo had sensed that something was wrong and so returned to Range village immediately. So there would have been no time to play. And now that she was able to play with them, Leo nodded happily and wagged her tail. “Will you play with us too, Mr. Takumi?” “No. I have to make some herbs. But you should all play to your heart’s content.” “Do you need my help, master?” “I’m fine. There’s no rush, so I’ll do it at a leisurely pace.” I turned down Tilura’s invitation, and moved to a corner of the garden in order to make the herbs. On the way, Milina offered to help me, but she seemed like she was having so much fun playing with Leo and Tilura. As I didn’t want to interrupt them, I refused and told her to continue playing. While Sebastian said that it had taken up more time than usual, it had actually been less time than I expected. I would have more than enough time to use Weed Cultivation, and I had no plans for doing anything afterwards. “Hmm. That should be enough for now.” Unlike when in Range village, I could make all kinds of herbs, which I would then send to Mr. Kalis’s store. While I made extra Ramogi, I had not been making much of the other herbs, and so he would probably run out of stock soon. In what was now a field of herbs, I listened to the others playing while I started picking. And while I was working, I tried to think of which herbs might be good to combine with the wine. “After all, I can’t just leave everything to Sebastian. And I should think of which herbs out of the ones that I can make would be promising.” We were already going to use Ramogi, so leaving that aside… I wanted something that would be healthy. And it should taste good as well. But since it was alcoholic, it shouldn’t be drunk too much either. Also, it would have to be a herb that wouldn’t lose its effect when mixed. I’d want something that through a synergistic effect, improved blood flow or cleaned your organs, perhaps. “Oh, I have to be careful that I don’t accidentally make something strange.” If I think about herbs and touch the ground, even without intending to, I might accidentally activate Weed Cultivation. Up until now, it had mostly worked out fine for me. But I didn’t want to test with herbs that I wasn’t already sure about. First, we had to find herbs that we knew could be combined with the wine. “Hmm… The thing is, medicine has not advanced very much in this world…” Perhaps there were types of herbs that only I could think of. I didn’t know if I would actually be able to make them, but it was not a bad idea to think about it while using knowledge from my old world. And so I continued to listen to the others play happily as I made herbs and thought about the wine. …And was very careful to not accidentally activate Weed Cultivation. A few days later, just before midday. As we could not act in regards to the store yet, there was not much to do. I trained with Tilura and studied with Milina. And then I made herbs and thought of medicinal wine and Range village. “Mr. Takumi. You have a visitor.” “I do?” “Yes, it’s Mr. Nick. He is waiting in the guest room.” “Ah, I see. I’ll go at once.” Just as I was thinking that it would be lunch time soon, Ms. Lyra came to tell me that Nick was here. After returning to the mansion, a different person had been delivering the herbs to Mr. Kalis’s store for a few days. This was to tell him that I had returned, and see how things were in the town. But that ended yesterday, and from today, Nick would come to pick them up as usual.
