Mr. Ekenhart Wanted To Drink
After having Ms. Claire remind him of how he had gone to town, Mr. Ekenhart looked like he wanted to argue, but seemed to think it over.
As for what Ms. Claire said about how I knew how to amuse Sebastian, was that just about making him explain things?
Yes, he became more lively and was good at it. But my intentions were never about making him happy.
Regardless, once everything was settled, we all went our separate ways.
“Well, that’s enough for now.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Thank you.”
And so I left the dining hall and went off to do my daily sword training.
Today, Mr. Ekenhart was not taken away by Ms. Claire, and so he was able to join us.
And so we all swung our swords while imagining that an enemy was in front of us.
After continuing this for some time, Mr. Ekenhart caught his breath and signaled for us to stop.
His movements were as impressive as ever.
He was fast and precise. He knew how his enemy would move.
And while I was getting used to this exercise as well, it would still be a long time before I could move like him.
“Mr. Takumi. I have a request, if you don’t mind.”
“Hmm? What is it? I hope you don’t want to go to town again…”
“No, nothing like that. It’s too soon, if you know what I mean. She would not talk to me for days if I did that again. No, what I wanted to ask…do you remember when you gave me the herbs to help with sleep?”
“Ah, yes. Do you want some tonight?”
Previously, I had given Mr. Ekenhart some herbs that would help him sleep and take away any tiredness.
He had gotten up the next morning feeling refreshed and in an excellent mood. And had come down to breakfast much earlier than usual.
“Mmm. It is not that I am so tired… But I have a reason to get up early tomorrow.”
“An important matter? What might that be?”
Was it related to me making herbs in Range village…?
But if that was the case, I thought that it had to be discussed with Mr. Hannes first, and was not something that could be decided right away.
“Of course, there is an important matter. It’s the medicinal wine you made.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
To be precise, Milina had helped me make the medicine, and Ms. Helena had mixed it with the wine.
Though, it would not have been possible without my herbs, so I suppose what he said wasn’t completely wrong either.
“With the other wine…like we saw with Claire, there is the possibility of drinking too much. And I shouldn’t drink much right now anyway. So I thought that I’d have the medicinal wine instead.”
After the incident with the rosé wine, Ms. Claire was trying to abstain from drinking, or so Sebastian had told me.
I suppose she was afraid of doing the same thing again.
I didn’t think she needed to go that far, but it was best to drink with moderation.
Well, perhaps I was just a little disappointed, as it was the first wine that I really thought was delicious… But even if it wasn’t served during meals, I suppose I could still drink some later?
Even if I left the managing to others, I still owned the wine.
…But then again, now with Liza here, hiding and drinking wine would set a bad example. So I would not do that.
“I see. …While it is not particularly delicious…it is true that it is something that should be drunk regularly. Very well… Here you go.”
“Thank you. Besides, I have started to think that the aftertaste is not that bad…”
I picked up my bag and took the sleeping herbs out and gave them to him.
Still…he was starting to like that taste?
It was very distinct, and I doubted that I would ever acquire a taste for it… But I suppose it depended on the person.
Some people really liked the bitterness of beer. And some people liked things that tasted strange, once they got used to it.
“But, you shouldn’t rely on these herbs too much, you know?”
“Is that so? Do they have some ill effects as well?”
“Not that I know of… But I just think that it’s best to be able to wake up by yourself.”
“…I will do my best.”
“Haha. I hope that you succeed.”
Mr. Ekenhart chuckled and then went back into the mansion.
Even if they were just herbs, they could cause problems if you took them too much.
I wasn’t confident in my ability to explain about side effects and addiction, but it wasn’t necessary now.
I would just hope that Mr. Ekenhart would be able to put in the effort.
By the way, even though it was getting dark now, I saw that there were two butlers inspecting the herb garden.
They were different from the ones who were there during the day.
And so I thanked them before returning to the mansion.
“Mr. Takumi. We have prepared a room for Liza. What will you do?”
“Thank you? But, uh, what do you mean?”
“Well, it’s just that based on what I’ve seen, I thought that Ms. Liza might not want to be separated from you…”
After leaving Mr. Ekenhart and Tilura, I had returned to my room and was thinking about taking a bath, when Ms. Lyra came and told me about Liza’s room.
As it was a big mansion, they could easily prepare a room. However, Ms. Lyra had some doubts concerning it.
