Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Well...

The buyer takes care of the empty bottle when he receives it from Almark.

Well, shall we study?

That said, I brought a thick book with me.

"I'll use this."

The buyer presented the book to Almark.

"of the glorious Gredener Palin's misfortune and glorious life and the subsequent transformation of the Western kingdoms."

Almark reads out the title of the book.

It's a very difficult book.

"Oh, I wondered what that was about."

Buyers nod with their eyes blinking.

Well, that's the title of this book.

"You don't remember the title?"

I'm not interested.

The buyer said so and urged Almark to sit down, lowering his hips on the floor.

"This was the thickest book I could throw away in the library."

Buyers sitting opposite each other place the book in front of Almark.

"Tamin, the librarian, asked me to."

That said, open the appropriate page of the book.

There, the green grass was carefully sandwiched.

"Herbal embossing."

Almark opens his eyes.

"Maybe all of this book?

"Maybe a third."

Buyer answers.

"There's a better way to store it, because it mixes with the medicine."

The buyer walks through the page happily while saying so.

"I'm increasing it little by little."

The book was sandwiched with dried medicinal herbs every few pages, which were accompanied by handwritten notes from buyers.

It's time to study herbs.

The buyer closes the book with a smile.

"I'm going to ask you to give me the name and effect of the medicinal herb on the page I opened."

"Okay."

Almark nodded.

"I'll try to get all the questions right."

"That's the spirit."

Buyers laugh joyfully.

"If you answer all the questions correctly, I'll give you a prize."

That's what I'm saying, I'm going to open the page.

Dark purple herbs.

Yes, this one.

Say that and hide the note by hand.

"Yeah, I know this."

Almark smiles.

The only medicinal herb that was unavailable during the night herb hunt.

It's an anchor.

"What's the medication?

"Psychological sedation. And absorb the darkness."

"It's too easy."

The buyer nodded and opened another page.

Yes, this is the next one.

Almark answers at a glance.

"Katafumibe. Medicine is magical cultivation and perspiration."

"You've been studying hard."

Buyers laugh joyfully.

Well, here we go.

Almark didn't recognize the next herb.

"Uh."

I don't know.

Buyers gladly look at Almark.

"This is the medicinal herb I learned in class. I don't know."

Hold on a second.

Almark turns his eyes like a plate and looks for grass traits.

"The leaves of the jagged... the red line running to my muscles..."

"Likes, likes"

The buyer nods.

We're getting closer.

"This is...."

Almark mobilizes the knowledge of medicinal herbs that he has learned so far in this college.

Kaiba Nagi.

"I thought you said so."

The buyer shouted with joy.

You got caught.

Isn't it?

Almark looks up at the buyer.

"But this characteristic is Kaiba Nagi's."

The buyer shook his head and walked away from the note.

Marinovella, too.

Almark opens his eyes.

"Oh, no, it's completely different from what you studied. Marinobella, be more comfortable."

"We have to take into account that this is a dry one."

The buyer says.

"When it dries, Marinobella gets so small."

I see.

Almark looked at the grass with regret.

"Herbal medicine needs to be visualized both naturally when it grows and after it dries."

"Exactly."

Buyers nod joyfully.

"But that's not all. I need to remember the smell and taste of each. Otherwise, after crushing and simmering, you won't know."

"That's right."

Almark exhales.

It's deep inside.

"Now, I want to show you all of this collection."

The buyer puts his hand on the book again.

I'm going to keep going.

Afterwards, Almark continued to solve the herbal problems raised by the buyers one after the other.

It was all plants that knew their names, but there were quite a few that I actually saw for the first time.

Buyers say they've been gathering them in the woods.

"I'm just studying and I remember it quite a bit."

After showing off all the herbs, the buyer takes care of the book and stands up.

"It feels like you're just packed with knowledge. Vision, smell, taste. It's not connected to that feeling."

The buyer looked at Almark and smiled.

"The study of medicinal herbs goes hand in hand with magic. I use my head, but I also use my body to remember."

I see.

Almark nodded.

The buyer's depth of knowledge was overwhelming, just to be called Doctor of Medicine.

But what captured Almark's mind even more than that was that buyers always seemed to enjoy it.

When you open a herbal book. When you talk about names and efficacy.

The buyer seemed really happy.

"Buyer, you really like medicinal herbs."

When Almark says, the buyer looks like, uh...

"Today, you've been having so much fun here."

That's right.

Buyers laugh.

"I like to study."

Fine.

Almark sighs.

"I wish I could have enjoyed my studies."

"You can have fun too."

The buyer used to say so.

"I mean, wasn't it fun the first time you could use magic?"

"That's..."

Almark nods at the unexpected words.

"Of course it was fun."

You're right.

The buyer also nodded.

"You'll be able to do what you couldn't. Know what you didn't know. Isn't that fun? Almark, learning is fun in the first place."

I look proudly at the book I have.

"I can't help but enjoy studying medicinal herbs. But that's because I want to do it. I want to, but as soon as I think I have to, it's boring to study. That's why I'm trying to think about other things than medicinal herbs."

Buyers smile.

"Fun, funny."

I see.

Almark looked impressed at the buyer.

"Indeed, when I came here, my studies were fresh and enjoyable every day. But when I thought I had to do it because I had an exam, I suddenly had trouble studying."

You're right.

The buyer nods.

"Because painful things aren't fun. It won't last."

I see.

Almark nodded convincingly.

"Enjoy."

"Well, that's not going so well. I don't like a lot of things. [M] There must be no martial arts or pain."

That's what buyers say and laugh bitterly.

"Unlike me, Almark can do anything. There's plenty of room for fun."

"Buyer, you're not just a doctor of medicine."

Almark said impressively.

Dr. Motivation.

"For your taste in naming, it's..."

The buyer smiled at random.

I'll take my hat off.
