I showed Milina ‘Weed Cultivation’
“No, Ms. Claire. Surely I need your permission to work freely in that mansion?”
“What do you mean to do, Mr. Takumi?”
“Indeed… To be honest, I don’t have enough knowledge about medicine to teach it. However, I don’t want Milina’s resolve to go to waste. And so… I have a request. If it’s alright…”
“You want me to let her stay at the mansion. Or it will be difficult to teach her.”
“Yes…”
Well, it would be less like teaching and more like studying together.
I had some knowledge from the world I was previously in, but I didn’t know much about medicine or medical treatments in this world.
“Indeed… As we had once considered taking Milina in as a servant, that shouldn’t be a problem, but…”
“Is there something else?”
“It won’t be proper for her to stay in your room…”
“No, of course not. We must be in separate rooms. I cannot share a room with a young woman.”
“…Well, I’m quite young…too…oh, maybe not so young…anymore… Does he…prefer…a younger…?”
“Ms. Claire?”
Ms. Claire started muttering darkly to herself after I started talking about different rooms.
I couldn’t hear what she was saying, but it sounded like she had mentioned me?
“No, it’s nothing at all!”
When I asked her, Ms. Claire raised her head and shook it violently.
“There is no problem if you are in separate rooms. …Though, it will be the same room as the servants…”
“That should be fine. I’m sure she’s used to living with other people at this orphanage.”
After discussing this quietly with Ms. Claire, I turned back to Milina, who was looking at us seriously and wondering about her fate.
“Milina. Ms. Claire has given her permission. While you will have to share a room with the servants, you can live at the mansion and we can study medicine together.”
“Really!? Thank you!”
“Mr. Takumi. Are you sure?”
“Yes. Well, I’m still learning myself, so I may not be able to teach Milina much.”
I answered with a smile to Ms. Anna.
Ms. Anna was just happy that things with Milina were finally settled, and they both bowed so low that I thought their heads would touch the ground.
“Mr. Takumi, in that case, you will have to tell her about that other thing.”
“Sebastian…so you returned…”
I hadn’t even realized that he was back, but he was now whispering to me.
“I returned just now. Lady Claire, I put someone in charge of the investigation. So now we just need to wait for a report. …It should come tomorrow or the day after that.”
“I see. Very good. Thank you.”
After telling me of his return, he turned to Ms. Claire to make a report.
…Even though he had just returned, he sounded like he was aware of the situation with Milina… This person really was mysterious.
“Sebastian. Ms. Claire. Are you fine with this?”
“Yes. If that’s what you want, Mr. Takumi.”
“Indeed. She cannot stay without knowing, so I have no problem with it.”
They both nodded in reply.
And so I went towards the entrance of the orphanage with Milina, Ms. Claire and Sebastian.
We asked Ms. Anna to watch Leo and the children… Milina was the only person who needed to know.
We stood by the door…behind the fence that surrounded the orphanage. It was here that I would show her Weed Cultivation.
“What are you going to do here?”
Milina looked puzzled, as she had no idea why we had brought her out here.
This was no surprise, as we hadn’t explained anything to her.
“Milina. You cannot tell anyone about what you will witness now, understand?”
“Huh? Oh, yes!”
“Milina. What Mr. Takumi is about to do is a secret of the duke’s house. And so you cannot tell anyone, even Ms. Anna.”
Milina nodded at me.
Ms. Claire then added to my words, and Milina nodded again in agreement.
She looked quite intimidated after hearing about the duke… Perhaps that part wasn’t necessary, Ms. Claire?
“Now, I will show you. …What should I do… I suppose I might as well make Ramogi for everyone in the mansion.”
As I felt Milina’s intent eyes on me, I placed my hands on the ground and used Weed Cultivation.
“Huh?”
When the Ramogi started to grow out of the ground, Milina gasped in surprise.
This was her first time seeing it, after all.
“That should do it.”
“What is this, Mister Physician?”
“As you can see, it is Ramogi.”
While her eyes were wide open, Milina seemed like she could not understand what she was looking at.
“Milina. This is my special ability. …It’s because of this that I was able to prepare enough medicine for everyone.”
“Ah…”
“Milina, allow me to explain it to you.”
As Milina stood there uncomprehending, Sebastian stepped forward in order to explain it to her.
He seemed very pleased by this opportunity… He really did like explaining this. I mused. And then I waited for Milina to finally understand.
“In other words, physician…I mean, Mr. Takumi is not a physician…is that right?”
“That is true… Are you disappointed?”
Milina slowly started to understand after listening to Sebastian.
And so I asked her.
Because it seemed that part of the reason why she had any admiration for me was because she thought I was a physician.
But now she knew I had no knowledge of medicine… I didn’t like to crush someone’s dreams, but she would have found out soon enough anyway.
Perhaps she wouldn’t want to come to the mansion and study anymore.
It had been a deception in a way, so it couldn’t be helped.
However, as if to reject these thoughts, Milina shook her head.
“No, I’m not disappointed. I’m moved at the thought of such a wonderful ability existing in the world. You must be very special if you are able to use it!”
“Oh? Well…I wouldn’t say special…”
“That’s right, Milina. Mr. Takumi is a special person.”
Milina was so impressed by the Gift, that she looked at me with great respect.
Not only that, but Ms. Claire was now encouraging her…
Ms. Claire… This is getting embarrassing…
