I Talked With Ms. Lyra
As Sebastian had asked me, I made suggestions about what conditions to observe the herbs in and what changes could be made.
There were also other things, like fertilizer and soil to consider… But for now, we should focus on water.
I will test other things next time.
If we did them all at once, it would be difficult to keep track of everything.
Apparently, Sebastian meant to have the servants take turns watching the herbs.
As he called Ms. Lyra and gave her orders, I saw that he looked a little frustrated over not knowing what had happened exactly, since no one had been watching the plants between morning and midday.
Well, I didn’t think he needed to feel bad over it.
No one had expected them to change so much in just a few hours.
“Ahaha! So fast!”
“Leo is amazing!”
“Kyau!”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“They seem to be having fun.”
After we had all looked at the herb garden, Mr. Ekenhart, Ms. Claire and Sebastian all went inside in order to talk.
When they were gone, Leo looked like she wanted to play, and Tilura and Liza were already on her back.
And so I had Leo run around in the garden, while Ms. Lyra and I watched from a distance.
Just like last time, Ms. Lyra brought out some chairs so that we could sit down and drink tea together.
It was a lot more enjoyable to drink with company.
However, Tilura’s magic lesson had been interrupted… I suppose Mr. Ekenhart felt that there were more important matters to discuss…
From what I had seen, Mr. Ekenhart and Tilura looked more like they were playing, so I wasn’t sure if she even learned any magic.
Well, she hadn’t seemed that interested in magic to begin with.
I suppose being able to train with a sword in order to protect herself was her first priority.
“Still, Mr. Takumi. What we talked about before has become a reality quite quickly.”
“Before…ah, about hiring someone?”
“Yes. It was rather presumptuous of me to say that…”
“Haha. No, I was grateful. It allowed me to think about it more seriously.”
Had Ms. Lyra not given me some advice when it came to hiring people, I might not have thought about it much.
In fact, I had not thought about it nearly enough when hiring Nick.
Of course, given the results, I did not regret the decision.
“But your ability really is wonderful, Mr. Takumi. Not only the effects of the herbs, but how they are able to multiply so quickly.”
“Well, even I didn’t know that this would happen. I just thought that I could make them with my ability…”
“That is how amazing the Gift is, I suppose. As someone who does not have it, I can only imagine what it is like.”
“I was like that too. Because I didn’t have it before coming here. Everything has been such a surprise.”
While drinking tea, Ms. Lyra muttered about the herbs in the corner of her vision.
Indeed, I had not expected them to multiply like this…
The fact that this could happen in just a few hours had to be related to Weed Cultivation.
If I had the same ability in Japan, how could I have used it?
…No, I didn’t want to think about that. All I could imagine was that I would be made to work and create plants until I passed out.
It was the effect of having had to work in such a harsh environment for so long…
“What’s the matter? You look a little pale, Mr. Takumi?”
“Uh, it’s nothing. I’m fine.”
It must have showed on my face, as Ms. Lyra looked at me with concern.
Right now, I was supposed to be having fun and drinking tea.
I felt bad by suddenly ruining the mood with such intrusive thoughts.
We should enjoy this time of relaxation.
“Ah, by the way. What is Milina doing now?”
“Milina? I believe that she is training with Gelda.”
“With Gelda?”
“Yes. After all, Gelda hasn’t been in this mansion for very long either. Though, I wouldn’t say that she is new… But she still has a lot to learn.”
“I see. In that case, I better not disturb them.”
I had considered calling her in order to help with the medicine…but I decided against it.
Though, it would have been nice to be able to show her the herbs.
“No, if it is important, I’m sure she will not mind. Besides, Milina’s main purpose is to learn about medicine.”
“That’s true… In that case, could you bring her here? I would like to show her the herbs.”
“The herbs…yes. That is something that she should know about. Very well, I shall call her.
“Actually, you can just tell me where she is, and I will go myself.”
“Oh, no. I could hardly allow you to trouble yourself. I will go, and you must wait here.”
“…Very well. Uh, but if she seems busy, she doesn’t have to come.”
“Certainly.”
Ms. Lyra stood up and bowed once before returning to the mansion.
I suppose that as a maid, she didn’t want me to go, but I wished that she wouldn’t be so strict about it…
And so now I had to sit and drink my tea alone.
Well, I had been the one to bring it up.
If I had gone, then it would be Ms. Lyra who was left alone.
It could not be helped. And so I just watched Tilura and Liza, who looked like they were having fun.
