I Thought of a Way to Send Ramogi To The Village
“What should be done… I know that you can make the herbs, but…”
“The problem is the number that I am able to make…”
“I don’t want you to push yourself too hard. …But…”
Ms. Claire wanted to help Hannes and Rosalie.
Of course, I did as well.
I didn’t know how far away this Range village was, but they had come all of the way here.
“You could send fewer herbs to Mr. Kalis?”
“But then there won’t be enough to go around for the people of Ractos.”
I wanted to avoid that.
As the malicious store was still there, I didn’t want to decrease the number of herbs.
“In that case…”
“Hmm… Mr. Hannes.”
“Yes?”
“How long would it take to travel to your village, if one were to go by horse?”
“…You would have to pass through the town of Ractos… So, that would be three days.”
“I see… Thank you.”
After hearing this, I started to think again.
As Mr. Hannes didn’t know who I was, he was looking at me oddly. But I couldn’t be bothered by that right now.
“Ms. Claire, three days on horse. How long would that be on Leo…?”
“I believe…it would be…around one day…?”
“I see… Then I might have an idea.”
And so I told Ms. Claire what I had come up with.
Simply put, I just had to avoid using Weed Cultivation too much in one day.
If I could not prepare enough at once, I just needed to do it over several days.
Thankfully, I had a reliable companion called Leo.
“I understand. I think that might work, Mr. Takumi. And since you would not be pushing yourself too hard, Sebastian won’t object to it.”
“I hope that is the case.”
Now that I think about it, Sebastian isn’t here.
Since he thought of things from different angles, I wasn’t actually confident that he would agree…
“Hannes. We have decided to help you.”
“You will!?”
Ms. Claire told him our conclusion.
Mr. Hannes and Rosalie looked overjoyed.
“This is Mr. Takumi…our physician. He will deal with the matter.”
“You…”
“Uh, I’m Takumi. Sorry for the late introduction. But I will prepare enough herbs for your village, Mr. Hannes.”
“Thank you. Thank you.”
Mr. Hannes cried tears of gratitude as he bowed his head to Ms. Claire and me.
He must have been incredibly worried about his people… And after all the searching he had done in the town.
“Mr. Hannes. Can you go ahead and return to your village?”
“I can but…what about the medicine…?”
“It will be prepared. Though, it won’t be a lot.”
“So it won’t be enough for everyone in the village…”
Mr. Hannes’ face suddenly darkened.
Well, of course, he would think that.
“No, there will be enough…for everyone who is ill.”
“But…”
“However, we will need some time.”
“Time…?”
“Yes. I want you to return first by horse. And during the few days it takes you to return, I will do what I can to secure the necessary amount of medicine.”
“But then…it won’t arrive at the village until much later…”
Mr. Hannes was thinking that I or someone else would be delivering the medicine to the village later.
So even though the medicine would reach them eventually, they would not get it as soon as he would like.
While it may make sense to have those who were the most ill take the medicine first, the chief may also want to avoid looking like he was favoring anyone when they all wanted it.
“No, I believe…that around the time that you arrive at the village, I will also be there, and with enough medicine for all.”
“…How is that possible? You will be leaving several days later, and yet you can catch up…”
It would be impossible, if I was on horseback like Mr. Hannes.
If I traveled without resting, I might be able to close the gap a little… Though, I didn’t even know how to ride a horse.
“Well, let’s just say I have a method of travel that is faster than any horse.”
“…You do?”
“Faster than a horse?”
Mr. Hannes and Rosalie looked like they didn’t believe me.
I wasn’t sure if there was anything faster than Leo in this world. Maybe there was. But it was not something that someone from a small village would be able to imagine.
“Uhh, wait one moment.”
“…Ah.”
“I’ll go and call Leo.”
“Yes, of course.”
I said to Ms. Claire, and then I left the room and went to the dining hall.
“If you are looking for Leo, she is out in the garden with Lady Tilura.”
“Thank you.”
When I went to the dining hall, there was only a maid who was cleaning and putting things away.
Apparently, they had become bored of waiting for me.
“Leo. Come over here!”
“Wuff?”
I went out into the garden and called Leo, who was carrying Sherry and running with Tilura.
I felt bad to disturb their training, but I called Leo and we returned to the drawing room.
…I should take Sherry down first.
“I’m back.”
“Wuff.”
“AHHH!”
“It-it’s a fen…fenrir…?”
And so Leo and I entered the drawing room again.
Leo barked once and then Mr. Hannes and Rosalie turned to see her, and their faces grew tense.
“Don’t worry. This is Leo. She won’t attack humans.”
“…Are you…certain of that…?”
“Yes. While Leo is a Silver Fenrir, she listens to what I say and is very mild-mannered. Right, Leo?”
“Wuff!”
“…Silver Fenrir…”
After hearing this, Mr. Hannes seemed to calm down a little. But he was still clearly afraid.
It was as if telling him that she was a Silver Fenrir reignited his anxiety… Well, this was to be expected, I suppose.
