I Studied dicine with Milina
“All right, that’s enough training for now.”
“You’re finished already, Mr. Takumi?”
As promised, I focused on training for one hour, and was able to do quite a lot.
It was less than usual, but I still had my sword swinging to do at night.
Besides, I will start training with Leo again tomorrow… We didn’t do it today because we had gone to Ractos.
“I have to study now. What about you, Tilura?”
“I’ll continue with my training!”
Tilura had looked puzzled as to why I was finishing early. But when I suggested she could join us, she returned to her training because she did not want to study.
I chuckled at this and left the garden and entered the dining hall… Oh, I better wipe off this sweat first.
Leo was following , but Sherry stayed with Tilura.
Perhaps she knew that it would be boring if she tagged along?
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Milina.”
“There you are, master.”
Milina and Ms. Lyra were chatting in the dining hall.
They were both raised in the orphanage, and seed to get along very well.
“So, studying dicine… Where should we start?”
“Master. You haven’t thought about that yet?”
“Wuff.”
When it ca to actually studying it, I didn’t know what to do first.
Learn the different types of herbs? Look up ways to mix and prepare dicine? Study about the symptoms of diseases and what dicine is most effective?
What should we do…
Just then, Milina and Leo looked at with exasperated expressions.
My authority as a master…!
Well, I never had any to begin with.
“If only Sebastian were here… I think he would have a lot to teach.”
“Mr. Takumi, I have sothing for you.”
“Huh?”
Ms. Lyra offered a single volu.
I looked at the cover, and it read, ‘dicine for Beginners. Basic Knowledge. ‘
“Is this
“Yes. He said that I should give it to you if you looked troubled.”
“I see… Thank you.”
So Sebastian had predicted that we would not know where to start with our studies.
It was impressive, but also a little intimidating that he was so perceptive.
Still, I was thankful that he had gone through the trouble in spite of being so busy. And so I would use this book to study the basics with Milina.
“Milina. Today, we will study with this book.”
“Yes!”
“Mr. Takumi. Milina only just arrived today. So please keep it brief.”
“I’m fine. I want to study as much as possible!”
Milina answered Ms. Lyra energetically, but it was true that she had only just arrived here today.
And while she had friends here, she had left everyone at the orphanage.
She still needed to unpack her things, and she must be a little tired after traveling. So like Ms. Lyra said, we would keep it short for now.
“As for where we can study… Ms. Lyra, could we use the drawing room?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
“All right, let’s go to the drawing room, Milina.”
“Yes, master!”
“Wuff!”
As we were allowed to use the drawing room, we decided to study there.
While we could have used my room, there was only one desk and chair.
For so reason, Leo’s reply was just as enthusiastic as Milina’s as we headed towards the drawing room.
…Could it be that Leo wanted to acquire knowledge of dicine as well?
“Please use these.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you!”
Ms. Lyra prepared so paper for taking notes, as well as quill pens. We would use those to study.
And so we both sat down at the table and opened the book that Sebastian had given to us.
Leo lood over from behind so that she could look at the book too.
So you really do want to study…
“Hmm…hmm… I see.”
“Mmm… It’s so complicated…”
We read the book and then wrote down the important points onto the sheets of paper.
Apparently, Milina was finding it a little difficult to understand.
“…Master… Excuse . But what does this an?”
“Uhh…it ans…”
Occasionally, she would ask questions about the contents, and I would explain it to her as we read the book.
Leo was nodding in the back… Did she really understand?
“Hmm… This makes want to conduct so tests with the herbs…”
“Are you going to use your ability, master?”
“Well, there is a lot that I would like to do… But…see here…”
When I considered using Weed Cultivation to test sothing I had read in the book, Milina showed deep interest.
She wanted to see my ability… However, I had to disappoint her by pointing to a section in the book.
“Uhh… It is dangerous for beginners to mix dicine out of curiosity. One must restrain the desire to demonstrate and acquire knowledge first.”
“That’s what it says.”
“…Too bad. I wanted to see you use the Gift.”
I had been thinking about combining the herbs… By doing this, you could make dicine with different kinds of effects.
However, the book warned against doing such things.
And I had to agree… I might accidentally make sothing toxic or with no effect at all.
“You want to see it that bad?”
“Yes. It’s not every day that you get to see such miracles!”
Milina answered with sparkling eyes.
Was it really sothing to be so excited over…? Well, I suppose it was similar to a miracle…
“Then I can show it to you tomorrow.”
“Really!? But, the book said…”
“I’m not going to be concocting anything. I’m just going to grow so herbs, since I have to do that anyway. That requires Weed Cultivation, so you can co and watch.”
“Is that so! Thank you!”
I made herbs nearly every day in order to send them to Mr. Kalis.
As I was only growing them, there was no danger.
So that was sothing that I could show Milina.
