“Yes. If I have the ingredients,” When I answered his question, he raised his face and stared at me.
Oh, you want me to make some? Ok.
The ingredients aren’t rare so I can make it right away.
I’ll teach the chefs how to make it after and they can prepare it.
I nodded, and Director smiled wryly again before sitting up.
“So now you’re going to tell me the good news?”
“Mm, maybe?”
I smiled awkwardly and seemed shocked.
I think it’s okay.
Since the only thing left is about medicinal herbs.
After that, I talked about what I learnt at Klaussner, when I told the director about the medicinal herbs that need blessing to grow, excitement showed on his face.
He is a member of the research institute, after all.
So he’s also interested in medicinal herbs and potions.
“As expected from the sacred place for pharmacists.”
“Yes. I learnt a lot from there.”
“It’s also interesting to hear that some herbs need a unique condition to be cultivated.”
“It is. I’d discovered this by accident…”
“It would be a problem if the Klaussner pharmacists found out about this, but you kept it a secret, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then that’s fine. I’ll have the Royal Palace send a letter to Klaussner’s feudal lord to tell him to keep it quiet.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Well, it’s fine.”
I lowered my head and heard Director sigh.
I couldn’t tell him the truth, so I apologised to him again in my mind.
It was decided that I was the one who found a way to cultivate the medicinal herbs which required blessing while I was in Klaussner.
When I asked Corinna-san for permission to grow the herbs at the research institute, she suggested this idea to me.
This was something that Feudal Lord-sama and Corinna-san couldn’t make public, so it didn’t matter who discovered it.
They were grateful that they were able to grow herbs which they couldn’t grow anymore.
I feel awful towards the person who had actually discovered this cultivation method, but I couldn’t help myself when I thought about the herbs that I would be able to grow in the research institute.
I’m really sorry, 【Pharmacist-sama】.
“I have a lot to do, but I also have things to look forward to.”
“I’m sorry, but could you help me grow the herbs?”
“Of course.”
Director cheerfully accepted when I asked for his help.
Apparently, he likes to cultivate herbs.
After I’d finished my report, we talked about what we will do from now on.
