Ms. Helena Looked Busy
“Ah, Ms. Lyra.”
“Mr. Takumi. I thought you were in the back garden?”
“I finished my work and ca back inside. Uhh, here… Please give this to Nick when he arrives.”
“Certainly. Are you going sowhere now?”
“I’m going to see Ms. Helena in the kitchens so I can talk to her about the wine. …She is there, isn’t she?”
“Yes, Ms. Helena should be in the kitchens and preparing lunch. Very well, I shall pass this to Nick for you.”
“Thank you.”
As I had t Ms. Lyra on the way to the kitchens, I asked her to give Nick the herbs in my place.
I also asked her about Ms. Helena, and she confird that she would be in the kitchen now.
Preparing lunch… She was always working so hard, and I was grateful for that.
“Excuse . …Uh, are you busy now?”
“Mr. Takumi? What do you want?”
“Where is Ms. Helena?”
“You want to see her? I’ll call her now.”
“Sorry to disturb you at such a ti. But thank you.”
When I arrived at the kitchen, there were a lot of cooks running around in white uniforms.
I suppose they really were busy making lunch.
I felt bad for coming at such a ti.
A young man noticed , and so I asked him about Ms. Helena, and then went to call her.
That was fine… But if she was too busy, then I could just co later.
“Mr. Takumi? What is the matter?”
“Uhh, I brought you so Ramogi to soak in the wine… But I suppose you are busy now?”
“Ah, yes. There is a lot to do when preparing lunch. That being said, we are all used to this work. Alright, I’ll take the Ramogi. Then I can put it to the test after we are finished with lunch.”
“Thank you. Ah, please call and Leo when it is done. Otherwise, we won’t be able to tell if it will still make you sick.”
“Certainly.”
Accodring to Ms. Isabelle, there were magic tools that allowed you to detect it as well, but we did not have such a device here.
And so we had no choice but to have Leo do it.
“Also, there are so herbs that will improve the wine…”
“Ms. Helena, please help !”
“Very well! Mr. Takumi, I’m sorry. But the cooks…”
“No, I’m the one who is sorry for bothering you. I will co again when there is ti.”
“Thank you…”
Ms. Helena was called by the other cooks and had to leave.
She was very apologetic, but I told her I would be back and then left the kitchen.
They were making food for everyone, so it was best to not get in their way.
“Oh, Mr. Takumi? Did you have business in the kitchen?”
“Sebastian. I was giving Ms. Helena the herbs to be added to the wine.”
“I see.”
“And so other herbs for dicinal wine as well, but… She was quite busy, and so I’m going to go back later.”
“Yes, the kitchens are like a battlefield during this ti of the day, so it cannot be helped. Still, dicinal wine?”
As soon as I left the kitchen, I bumped into Sebastian.
Was he on his way to the kitchen?
“Yes. While making herbs in the garden, I decided to make so others as a test. And because they were new herbs, I wanted Ms. Helena’s opinion on them…”
“I see. Hmm… And what kind of herbs were they?”
“Uhh…to put it simply, they are herbs that were made for the purpose of being a supplent for the things your body needs. So you beco tougher to illness… That’s what I was thinking…”
“But?”
“Uh, Sebastian. Aren’t you busy? I thought you were going to the kitchen…?”
“Ah, that’s right. It is just that this is so interesting… Well, I will talk to you later, Mr. Takumi… Maybe I will join you when you talk with Helena.”
“Very well. I will call you when I go to see her.”
“Very good.”
Sebastian was so interested in the new herbs that he forgot the reason that he had co down here.
As it might be related to the food, it would be no good to stand around here and talk.
When he rembered, I promised to call him later and we separated.
“Now, I have so free ti… What to do… I suppose I should go back to the garden and see how Mr. Ekenhart is doing?”
I still had so ti before lunch.
And since there wasn’t much for to do today, I had plenty of ti to spare.
As for my training, I planned to do that before dinner… And as for Milina’s studies, she was busy learning to be a servant today, so there would be no lessons.
So even if I would talk with Ms. Helena and Sebastian between lunch and training, I had nothing to do right now.
“And I already gave the herbs to Ms. Lyra… So I guess I’ll just go to the garden.”
Maybe I should have just handed them to Nick myself… I thought of such things as I walked down the hallway towards the back garden.
“Thank you, missy. I guess my old brother is busy.”
“I told you to stop calling that…”
“…Huh?”
As I walked down the hallway, I heard a man and woman talking.
Went I turned to look, I saw that Nick was holding the back of herbs and talking to Ms. Lyra.
“Ms. Lyra. Nick.”
“Mr. Takumi? Are you finished already?”
“Brother! I thought you were busy?”
“Hahaha. Well, they were pretty busy in the kitchen. And so I finished up early and ca out.”
I went up to Nick and Ms. Lyra, who were talking in the entrance hall.
Both of them were not expecting to see .
Nick looked rather happy for so reason… it wasn’t because he was able to et …right?
