I Made More Herbs
After telling everyone that Liza was able to communicate with Leo and Sherry, and Tilura had become distracted with her sword training, Mr. Ekenhart, Sebastian and Ms. Claire left the dining hall.
They probably had a lot to discuss regarding Range village.
However, when Ms. Claire was about to leave, she turned to Tilura and said, ‘While your sword training is important, so are your studies. Don’t forget that.’ And so Tilura’s enthusiasm weakened, and she was eventually pulled away by one of the maids.
I felt bad for her, but it was true.
Sherry had also ran after Ms. Claire… I suppose she did not want to be with Tilura while she studied.
Leo’s eyes seemed sharp as she watched Sherry go.
What was she thinking?
When it came to Sherry and Liza, she seemed to take an educational interest in them…
In any case, now that everyone was gone, I went to my room in order to leave the list there, and then I went to the back garden with Leo.
“Papa. Are you going to do magic again? …Here, mama?”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“That’s right. Because we don’t have enough of them. If I don’t make a certain amount every time, then I will have to do it every day. …Leo, you look awfully comfortable?”
“Wuff.”
I went to a spot near the temporary herb garden and prepared to use Weed Cultivation.
Liza was riding on Leo’s back, and using her hands to scratch Leo’s neck as they watched us.
Apparently, Leo was telling Liza where to scratch.
“Uhh… Ah, sorry. It’s fine. Please don’t mind us…”
I said to the butler who was observing the herbs, and I moved a short distance away.
That being said, I was also going to leave some of the herbs I made today, so that they could be observed, and so I didn’t want it to be too far. Or it would be more work for the person who had to watch them.
And so I started making the new herbs about three meters away.
Yesterday, I had made a little too much, so I would be careful to not do that today…
“It really is strange. They just grow out of the ground so suddenly.”
“Indeed. I was very surprised when I first saw it. There isn’t even a seed, and yet it grows.”
As Liza petted Leo and watched, her eyes grew wide and her ears twitched.
I was used to seeing it now, but it was probably quite a sight for most people.
Plants growing without seeds… I would not have believed it myself, back when I was in Japan.
“Now, I better pick some of them.”
“I’ll help!”
“Thank you.”
“Wuff…”
I had made enough to send to Ractos and also some for medicine.
Since there was some from yesterday, I would have quite a lot to hand over to Nick, but I was sure that Mr. Kalis would manage it just fine.
Besides, it was better to have some extra in stock.
When I moved towards the herbs in order to pick them, Liza jumped off of Leo and volunteered to help.
While Leo had lowered herself to make it easier, it was still impressive to see her jump like that. But I suppose Liza was just naturally athletic because she was a beastkin.
Leo also sounded a little disappointed now that the scratching was over.
Don’t worry, I will scratch you later as well.
“Well then. Can you pick them like you did yesterday? Ah, not all of them. Only half of them.”
“Oh, okay!”
I had taught Liza and Mr. Ekenhart how to pick the herbs yesterday.
And so I told her to leave half of them, and then we started picking.
In spite of just learning yesterday, she could already do it perfectly. She sure was a fast learner… I thought as we worked.
“Well, let’s go back to the mansion now.”
“Are you going to make more medicine? I can’t wait!”
“You really enjoy it, huh?”
“Yes. Because it requires a lot of strength!”
“I see.”
“Wuff-wuff.”
I swiftly used Weed Cultivation to dry the herbs, and then we returned to the mansion.
Apparently, Liza was looking forward to making the medicine again.
Leo was nodding understandingly at her reason for it… I suppose Liza really enjoyed exercising.
Leo would also feel stressed if she couldn’t go out on walks and move around. So she probably related to how Liza felt.
Perhaps she could not move around much in the slums, as people would pick on her. And she might also be holding back here as well.
Perhaps we could find a way to let her exercise during our sword training with Mr. Ekenhart… It was probably too early for her to learn how to fight, but she could still run around I suppose.
I thought of such things as we entered the house, and searched for Milina, so that I could give her the herbs that would be turned into medicine.
