I Used the Ramogi on the Sick People
“Sorry, Leo. But I need you to stay here with Phillip. Is that all right, Phillip?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
“Wuff…”
“Ah…”
We wouldn’t make much progress here if Leo just scared everyone away.
And so I had her stay with Phillip for now.
But as he saw Leo moving away, Rai looked like he wanted to say something… Perhaps it really wouldn’t take long for him to get over his fear of Leo.
“Mr. Hannes. I would like to start by giving some of the Ramogi to this boy’s parents.”
“Very well. May we come in, Rai? Your parents will have to drink the medicine.”
“Yes, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Pharmacist!”
“Aye, they will be healed in no time.”
I couldn’t let any doubt show on my face in front of a hopeful child.
And so I answered with a firm nod as his eyes shone.
“Yes, this is indeed the same illness that I saw before. So the Ramogi should be very effective.”
“I see…that is a relief.”
“So my mother and father will get better?”
“Yes, right away.”
After entering the house, we were led to a bedroom where a man and woman were sleeping.
Rai’s parents showed the same symptoms as the children at the orphanage.
A fever and cough… Very much like a cold… And yet also different. That was what it seemed like to me.
I nodded in order to assure Rai, and then I took the Ramogi out of the bag that I was carrying.
“Now, make them drink this.”
“Yes. Rai, do you have any water?”
“I’ll go and get some!”
He soon returned with a wooden bowl of water, and so the parents were able to drink the Ramogi.
While it had been dried and powdered, the parents had been feverish for so long, and so they were barely conscious. And since they were also coughing, it was a little difficult to get them to drink it. Thankfully, I had watched the children at the orphanage drink it before.
And so we made them sit up in their beds and open their mouths as the water and Ramogi was poured down their throats.
They looked like they were going to start coughing again, but managed to hold it back and drink everything.
If they coughed, the powder would fly out of their mouths.
“Ahh…I feel better…”
“That’s amazing! It was so quick!”
Minutes after they had drunk the Ramogi, their fevers began to subside as we watched them.
It had been the same with the children. But I still couldn’t help but be a little awed at how quickly the medicine took effect.
In Japan, even if it was a common cold, you still needed to rest for a while after taking medicine.
But I suppose this Ramogi was just more effective… Just like how Loe could easily heal wounds in a way that would be impossible in Japan… The effects of medicine just seemed to be different here.
“Thank you. I don’t know how we can ever repay you.”
“Both me and my husband can hardly believe that we were in such pain a moment ago… Thank you so much, Mr. Takumi.”
“You don’t need to thank me. The person you really should be thanking is Mr. Hannes and Rosalie, who traveled so far in order to get help.”
“But I didn’t do…”
“Thank you, chief. And you, Rosalie.”
After the Ramogi took effect, and the two recovered, they were filled with gratitude towards me.
While it was true that I had been the one to prepare it, Mr. Hannes had done most of the work.
Had he not come to the mansion for help, neither I or Ms. Claire would have known that the people in this village were ill.
Though, Mr. Hannes was very modest, and Rosalie looked embarrassed.
“Now, Mr. Hannes, here is the Ramogi that I was able to prepare before coming here. Please distribute it to those in the village who are sick.”
“You acquired this much in such a short amount of time… I do think that this should be enough for everyone. Thank you. Thank you so much!”
I had taken the rest of the wrapped up Ramogi and handed it to Mr. Hannes.
As I hadn’t actually planned to meet up with him on the way, I had given some to Mr. Hannes to take back with him.
I had pushed myself a little back at the mansion in order to do that.
Ms. Lyra and the others had become quite worried, but it was worth it if the people of this village could be saved.
“Please let me know if it isn’t enough. And I can prepare some more right away.”
“You can prepare more… But how?”
“Well, uh, I have a way…”
We hadn’t told Mr. Hannes about my Weed Cultivation Gift.
It was better if only a few people knew about it. That was the opinion of the Liebert family, and I agreed with them.
But now Mr. Hannes was questioning how I was able to prepare so much in such a short amount of time, and so I had to get him off the trail.
“More importantly, you should ensure that everyone in the village is healed. They are still suffering even now.”
“That’s true. Very well. I don’t know how we can thank you, Mr. Takumi… But for now, I will give the Ramogi to the people of the village.”
“I’ll help you!”
“Yes, we’ll help distribute them as well!”
“So will I!”
I forcefully changed the subject and reminded him that there were others who were still sick.
In fact, they may be weakening as we speak, and so it was best to do things quickly.
Once Mr. Hannes stood up to go, Rosalie, and Rai’s parents also offered to help.
Rai saw this and also wanted to help.
As people in their village were suffering, they wanted to do something about it as soon as possible.
“Wuff!”
“Sorry to make you wait, Leo. But you were scaring Rai.”
“Wuff, wuff.”
“Thank you for watching her, Phillip.”
“Not at all. Leo is always very quiet. We just waited leisurely.”
I left Mr. Hannes and the others, and left Rai’s house and returned to where Phillip and Leo were waiting.
It wasn’t just that Rai was scared, but Leo wouldn’t have fitted in their house, so it was good that she waited here.
I apologized to Leo as I petted her.
And while I thanked Philip, he insisted that Leo was well-behaved, and he didn’t have to do anything at all.
