128 Medicine and incense
``I am aware of the matter regarding Sir Malcolm. I would like to have an opportunity to have a discussion with Sir Malcolm someday. Furthermore, as of now, we have not received any reports of any changes in the people of the Marquess territory. I'll call you back in case of an emergency, but I'm left in charge of the people of the territory.''
The reply I received on the communicator was from my father. Can we say that there is a higher possibility that Norman did it?
I'm in the workshop stirring a large pot and preparing stomach medicine.
According to Rosemary, the efficacy is moderate, but the recipe is not particularly valuable. When I told her about Malcolm, she said that if she just gave him the recipe, she wouldn't have to worry about it later.
So, I could have left the dispensing to a third party, but the recipe I received from Rosemary was surprisingly less difficult, so I decided to gain some experience dispensing it myself. It was.
Well, it's still a stomach medicine that seems to be useful in everyday life. There is a part about it that if you wear it, you will be able to use it at any time. The materials were readily available on the market, so it didn't cost much.
If you're thinking about Malcolm's future, it would certainly be better to create an environment where he can prepare medicines from recipes and raw materials. The ideal would be to be able to procure medicine from the Termwills and the Marquess without spending too much money.
“I guess it’s like this.”
“You made quite a bit.”
Viola, the blacksmith in charge of the workshop, who was looking at the dimensions of Irmhild's new armor, peered over and said.
"It just looks like a lot because it's in a large pot. To be able to preserve it, you need to evaporate the water, dry it, and then grind it into a powder."
“Then, what are you grinding in that mortar over there?”
Alfred tilts his head. On the desk, the golem is stirring the mortar in parallel.
“It smells kind of good.”
I could see that Sheila was watching outside the window.
I created curtains using wind magic to keep the scent from escaping, but Sheila seems to be able to detect it. She is also conducting combat training in the courtyard of her workshop. Today, she seems to be seeking cooperation with the saucer controlled by Marlene. Marlene seems to be concentrating on controlling the saucer with a serious expression on her face.
"That's a fragrance. If you mix it with wax and put a wick in it and make it into a candle shape, you can get a sedative effect just by lighting it."
This is meant to be used in parallel with stomach medicine.
It is a fragrance that is effective against abnormal conditions such as confusion, confusion, and panic. Originally, it was a tool called Seishinko, which was used to restore the state to normal by smelling it from a small bottle. By diluting it and making it into aroma candles, the aim is to make it usable in everyday life.
"Medicinal incense, huh? You make all kinds of things, too."
Alfred smiles bitterly.
The stomach medicine has entered the next process. Use water magic to remove only the water from the cauldron. All that is left is to grind the remaining ingredients finely. Maybe I'll give it a try once it's finished.
"I'll deliver it to Sir Malcolm later. I'd also like to convey your father's reply."
"Understood. I'm still adjusting the magic tools."
“Everyone is planning to continue their training, so… Is the security guard okay?”
Alfred's fiancée, Lady Ophelia, is also showing her face at the workshop today. She has set up a table in the courtyard to watch her training.
"...Ashley-sama, do you always do such difficult training?"
“Mr. Theodore is dispensing medicine today, so I think he will be relatively quiet.”
"Is that so? I would like to invite Mr. Theodore to the Marquisate of Fobrester and train the knights."
Ophelia...seems to be chatting with Ashley, who has taken turns taking a break.
Alfred looked at Ophelia, who was nodding with her hand on her chin, with calm eyes, and then spoke.
"That's right. I heard that Talcott will also come to the gate in the afternoon. I think that among the Termwills, they currently have the strongest force in the workshop. So, you don't have to worry about me and Ophelia. ”
"Hmm, understood."
It seems that Talcott is currently attending Peresford School seriously. Rosetta has told me that there are many teachers who are reconsidering Talcott because he does even very simple training without complaining.
“Now that I think about it, it seems that Talcott has found someone he has a crush on as well.”
"Huh. What kind of girl is your partner?"
I chatted with Alfred while pouring the candle into a mold and using water magic to cool it and solidify it.
"It seems that he is a magician's apprentice who attends Peresford Academy. He was impressed when he saw Talcott working hard on the basics. I see him talking to her often."
"That seems like a good match. Hmm. What about Talcott's past?"
I guess Talcott injured his fiancée once and the deal broke off.
The fallen Earl of Cardiff family is not a very good source. I hope I can get over that.
"He seems to know me. He seems to be a child of a semi-aristocratic family that has fallen into disrepair. I think he understands Talcott in that way."
Really……. I hope it goes well.
Carrying a bottle filled with powder and a box filled with candles, he rides a flying dragon and heads for the royal castle.
Malcolm usually stays in the east tower, which is near the Knight's Tower. The east tower is a place where so-called bureaucratic functions are gathered. It is also the place where the officials and nobles who work in the royal castle conduct their business.
As I entered the east tower, there was a counter that seemed to be a reception desk right after entering the entrance.
“What kind of business do you have today?”
The receptionist recognized me standing in front of the counter and called out to me.
"Excuse me. My name is Theodore Gartner. There is something I would like to give to Sir Malcolm Broderick."
When I introduced my name, the receptionist's eyes widened.
"Could I be your ambassador to another world? I apologize for not recognizing your face!"
"Oh, no. I don't show my face in the royal castle much, so don't worry about it."
"Y-yes."
The receptionist's face changed, so I held her back with my hand.
"I will inform Sir Malcolm."
"It's not an urgent matter. I'm planning to go to the King's Tower to report after this."
Although she said that, as the receptionist, she probably went to inform Malcolm immediately. Whether it's Malcolm or her receptionist, she doesn't really want to give him too much attention while she's busy.
The precautions for using the medicine are written on the paper with the recipe, so if you give it to me, I can get the job done.
"Well, you can ask Sir Malcolm to take over the matter later."
"In that case, we will contact the King's Tower. If you wait at the guesthouse, we can also inform you of Sir Malcolm's plans."
"thank you"
I was guided by a servant and taken to a room that seemed to be a guest room in the state guesthouse.
When I drank the tea the servant had made and waited for a while, Malcolm came into the room.
"This is Mr. Theodore, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"Sir Malcolm...I assume you were on your way to work?"
"No. Don't worry. I've just finished my work."
Hmm. That's what I'm saying, but what do you think? On the contrary, she may have done something that she is sorry for.
“I understand that you were able to bring me some medicine…”
"I have prepared the medicine. The medicinal effects and precautions are also written on the paper."
"W-The ambassador prepared the medicine? But... I don't think you'll receive it for free."
I could see that Malcolm was a little confused.
I understand that feeling. It's not healthy to make too many loans. I guess I'm going to be somewhat business-like here.
"I understand. How about you try it out and if it works, you can get paid?"
“...Thank you very much for your continued kindness. Ambassador.”
Malcolm's expression brightens and he bows deeply.
For now, I will continue to explain the precautions, dosage, and directions for use. I wrote down the precautions on the paper, but I only asked for the bare minimum of questions, such as checking for any allergies.
"It's a prototype for me, so no. I've tried it myself and confirmed its safety. It's part of my training, so there's no need to take it too seriously. If you're interested in medicinal effects, please let me know your thoughts later. ”
“I will definitely report it.”
There seems to be no problem with the use of medicine. Apparently Malcolm was especially grateful.
I had to let her leave in the middle of work, so I saw her off in front of the guesthouse.
"Don't cross paths with the servant who came to contact you. That's fine around here."
"That's right. Well, that's about it for today--"
As we were having a conversation in the square in front of the parade ground, someone approached us.
I don't know him, but I can guess who he is based on Malcolm's reaction to recognizing him and his facial features.
The man grinned at Malcolm and said,
"Hello, it's been a while, brother."
Norman Broderick. It seems that he has come to the castle...but what exactly is his purpose in coming to the royal castle?
