The Second Disciple's DebutLater that day, Harukara and I returned home from the forest and started to make medicine just past noon.
I had lived in this place as a witch for many years, and so, there was a room for the devoted to creating medicine.
Furthermore, there was also a small room to dry medicines and mushrooms. In that room, if anything contained moisture, it would evaporate and disappear.
Harukara was decent at medicinal manufacturing.
However, she was making medicines that help maintain a healthy body or make the body lively and energetic, rather than a medicine that cures symptoms and diseases. It was the type that you could drink everyday.
"As for herbal medicine, isn't it fine if you mix it like this?"
"I understand, but is it effective against illnesses?"
"Making your body healthy is more efficient, isn't it~?"
If I had to say my sense of values lied in Western medicine, then Harukara's would be closer to Oriental medicine.
Both were excellent, but neither were essential.
I'm grateful that Harukara came here. There were numerous things that could be obtained this way.
Of course, I taught the villagers about health and created medicine for them, but my thought of having them drink medicine regularly wasn't strong enough.
Simply, because medicine in itself takes a lot of effort to make and is also expensive, so if they received and drank medicine daily, it would cost too much money.
Leica brought some herbal tea and said, "Both of you, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, Leica. Did the two children behave ?"
"After eating lunch, they felt drowsy and immediately took an afternoon nap. It might be because today they woke up much earlier than usual. They are now asleep in the same bed together."
"I'm tempted to go see their sleeping faces, but they might wake up, so I'll have to endure."
"How was the herb collection for the two of you?"
Harukara's face turned red.
"I was careless……"
"Careless?"
"Sorry, but please don't ask me anything about it…… It was so embarrassing I just wanna die……"
I decided to stay silent since it seemed cruel to continue beating a dead horse[1].
"Then, Harukara, if the temperature is good tomorrow, you will have your debut in the village. Since it's a small village, it'll spread one way or another.
"Understood. I'll leave it to Master!"
Harukara replied by purposefully raising her hand.
Harukara was simplistic overall. It can be said that while her footwork was good, it can also be said that she could cause trouble, just like the case of eating poisonous mushrooms.,
This was a difficult matter.
"Then, I'll prepare some medicine to bring for tomorrow. I'll have the shop consign this item as a new witch's medicine."
"Yes, understood! Then, should I differentiate it from Master's?"
"Correct. I wonder if gastrointestinal adjustment pills or nutrition compensation pills are good enough."
I wondered if these were dietary supplements.
After that, I looked at Harukara's whole body again.
"Also, it'd be best if you could have your clothes tailored……"
Harukara's clothes didn't suppress her charm at all; probably because there wasn't enough fabric.
"Ah~, this is okay though, right? It feels like I'm stretching this out while I'm wearing it~"
"Is it spreading……? Just like that……"
I wasn't very interested in her status, but I was worried about her bust-waist-hip measurements.
For dinner, the mushrooms that Harukara obtained appeared at the dining table.
In addition, it was confirmed that there was absolutely no poison, and then it was cooked. No one can eat poison, but the damage could be severe on a petite girl.
"If you slice the Island Wave Mushroom, then sauté the dried portion together with broccoli to strengthen the saltiness, it can taste quite good. It also goes well with sake."
Since I had the opportunity, I checked the cooking scenery in the kitchen.
"Rainbow Flower Hat Mushroom will become crispy, so put it in the stew."
Was this a mushroom-like dish inspired idea?
Haruka's dish was quite popular, and even I was considerably satisfied.
Next day.
The sky was perfectly clear, so Harukara and I left for Furata Village.
On the way, slimes appeared, so I hunted them without fail. Magic Stone GET.
"Master's defeating slimes really quickly……"
"I've been doing it for the past three hundred years. It's become a traditional technique holder level for me [2]. Well then, now you try."
Harukara swung an oak stick.
"Ey, Eyyy!"
She shook.
Her chest shook tremendously.
With confidence, I can say it swayed from side to side like a slime.
"Fuu…… One way or another, I'll defeat an animal."
"How nice……"
"What is it?"
"It's nothing."
After earning some small change, we arrived at Furata Village.
Furata Village was peaceful as usual.
"The air in the plateau is sweet, is it not? Or rather, it's crisp and dry."
"I don't think so. I've never left this area, so I don't know the difference."
Well then, should we go around the village once?
We should probably finish her debut before living together sooner than later. It's because I think it'll become a rumor of a mysterious elf. They will probably be convinced if I said she was my disciple.
Even so, my family has begun to rapidly increasing in numbers.
Since I lived for a long time, I guess my family would grow larger. That's probably it.
Footnotes:
TL: This phrase, when using (私も追い打ちをかけるのはひどいと思ったので、黙っていることにした。) is basically similar to saying "I probably shouldn't keep kicking this animal since I've already crippled it". I know that was a pretty cruel and crude example, but it was all I could come up with on the spot.↩ Holder level ~ max level.↩
