After a while, Mr. Quid, a peddler, arrived in the village, so I will try to negotiate quickly.
"I need to talk to you for a minute, can you please listen to me?
"Oh, oh, Ash-kun. What the hell is that?
Since then, there has been no contact, but Mr. Quid's reaction has been hard. Perhaps he thinks he'll finally be threatened with his old stories.
I don't intend to do such a thing against my conscience, but I can't help but be intimidated.
It's not my problem, it's his problem. Absolutely unusual in a person's mind.
"Actually, I found these plants. Does Mr. Quid know about this?
I'll show Aloe, but Mr. Quid shook his head without knowing.
I thought it might be available in the city, but it doesn't seem to be known around here, because it's a very vibrant plant and has a lot of varieties.
"What is this? I'm feeling a little sick coming down..."
"It's a plant leaf."
"Leaves? Not stems, but leaves?
Because it is thick, it may feel more like a stem or trunk than a leaf. There is no doubt that it is unusual.
"Actually, this plant, according to what I read in the book, seems to be a medicine."
"Hmm... Well, I don't think it's going to work if it's so unusual."
I think drugs made with that kind of feeling are very dangerous.
That's why I can't rest assured that Mr. Quid will bring me the medicine.
There must have been a lot of times in my previous life when I thought highly poisonous mercury was a secret drug. In addition, animal manure, including humans, and parts of the body...
"Now, I'm going to try to make a medicine, but we need to experiment to see if it works and if there's a problem."
"Why? It says medicine in a book, doesn't it?
Someone great is saying it works, so I guess so.
I am troubled because this idea is quite a normal society.
"It does, but if you use it too much, you may have problems, and depending on how you use it, it may not work. Experiments are absolutely necessary."
It's kind of troublesome.
"Doesn't Quid observe and gather information about the first person he deals with?
It seems to have been understood a little bit that it is the same.
"Thank you for your understanding. Now, I'd like to get a pen and paper for the medicine experiment."
"Ah, that's what I was aiming for..."
Mr. Quid smiles bitterly with a little relief.
Would it be better to know than not know what kind of threats are coming? Some words say it's better to leave than not to.
"But paper and pen? Of course, the ink, right?
"Ah, yes. It's also mandatory."
"Hmm...."
I got worried.
After all, it seems difficult to give it away for free because it is such a expensive substitute. Despite his weaknesses, Mr. Quid has a sign that he will never come to this village again.
It's only to the detriment of each other, so I'm not going to hunt you down.
"For the time being, just a little bit is fine, so I wonder if it's not convenient. I wish I could pay the money properly, but I don't have the money I can freely afford."
"I'd be surprised if I had the money to be free.... no, Ash-kun can be convinced."
What kind of recognition do I have of a bad child?
"If the medicine is developed well, we will also accommodate Quid. Maybe you can sell it in the city."
It's a proposal to pay for the world. In other words, it is a bump.
I'll do my best, so I'm sorry if I trampled you down.
"Uhhhh...."
Mr. Quid just roars and doesn't nod. I can't.
Although there is no understanding of scientific methods such as experimentation, Quid, who lives as a peddler, is a realist. Besides, it's a small business, so I can't help talking about it.
Then let's figure out how to fool my father and squeeze the money.
While me and Mr. Quid were roaring, a hunter, Mr. Van, came.
"Oh, Mr. Van. Hello."
Saying hello, the silent van nods as usual.
Instead of selling the smoked meat and fur from the hunt to Mr. Quid, he appears to have come to buy essentials. Mr Van points to what he needs and asks Mr Quid to calculate it.
It has been bored before, but it will not be so this time because I am here.
Van finishes shopping all the way, looks at me and leans his head.
"What's wrong?
"Oh, yeah. I wanted a little paper and a pen, so I was checking how much it was."
That's right, Mr Van nods.
Mr Quid looks surprised by Mr Van's voice, but I wonder how silent he is. I mean, you've shopped well so far.
"How much?
"Well, how much is it after all?
With Mr Van, he leans his neck and looks at Mr Quid.
"I see. Ash-kun asked me to do you a favor, and if I could just use a little damaged paper set... fifteen iron coins, no, thirteen... Ju, twelve pieces, somehow..."
Twelve pieces of iron. I'm sure it's a total deficit for Mr. Quid, but it's still tasty. Salt for essentials is a good price.
"Let's pay."
Van makes incredible remarks.
"Eh? Mr. Van, I'm sorry about this cheap stuff. I'm the one who saved your life the other day."
To tell you the truth, thank you very much. I just wanted to fold the story, but I'm sorry that the skin on the face is not so thick.
But Mr. Van shook his head silently to me. Mr. Quid nods with his sharp eyes.
"Are you sure, Mr. Van? I don't mind if you're good at this...."
Mr. Quid seemed a lot surprised, but when Mr. Van nodded again, he took the money he bought and left quickly.
What, that guy?
"That's so cool..."
"Ah, this is so cool...."
The two of you will see off the back.
However, I had a little change, so I took it from Mr. Quid.
Thanks for the paper and pen, and I'll give it to you later.
Every day, the summer signs get thicker.
Even after the season, my life hasn't changed much. He works in the fields, picks up vegetables in the shallow woods, goes to church, rents books, and teaches Micah to study.
Speaking of things that have changed since spring, Mr Van came to fetch weeds while he was hunting, so I started to help him easily.
He cares for hunting gear, such as spears and traps, at Mr. Van's house to help him dismantle and dispose of the prey he took home.
Having said that, it was only recently that I was able to help. In the beginning, I had to tell you that I couldn't do anything, so I had to lower my head.
I think the hunter's basics have come along. I'm really looking forward to getting you to the mountains soon.
As Mr Van is a hunter, the amount of wild grass he brings is no big deal. If I follow you, the yield will increase.
It seems that there will be some edible wild vegetables in the summer, so I look forward to another plate at the table.
One more thing has changed.
I started breeding mice. The name is twisted guinea pig. [M] You will know by name that you are not a pet.
So far, I have been working with you on an experiment to confirm the pharmacodynamic effect of Aloe. I plan to go out with another medicine slowly. They have no right of veto.
As for me, who has a memorable past life, I don't feel guilty about intentionally hurting a captured rat to check the effect of the wound medicine or forcing him to drink an amount of aloe that clearly seems dangerous - at all.
They're enemies.
He is not a pitiful weak man, but a mighty enemy who cannot be careless.
I have no room for mercy. I am a hateful foe.
I didn't have this much hatred in my previous life. However, in today's world, where there are many days to live with, rats, which are pests that devour both field and warehouse crops, are to be exterminated.
I don't intend to dispose of the torture problem by exterminating it, but after the necessary experiments, my heart didn't feel painful and I was stained with hate.
I think people become poor when they starve.
Thanks to such a hateful guinea pig, I know a lot about Aloe.
If you're eating, you shouldn't eat too much. I was a little surprised that some mice died. In addition, my skin sometimes gets a rash even when I use it as an ointment. In other words, if it is more effective than you think and you understand the precautions, it is a very effective plant just for that amount.
It is effective for skin problems in general such as cuts, burns, insect bites, etc., and at least it prevents the worsening of the symptoms by becoming pus. This medicine seems to help when your stomach and intestines are weak. Also, constipation seems to work.
After experimenting with guinea pigs, I started experimenting with my own body, but when I tried using Aloe ointment on my right hand only, it didn't go as far as being like a baby... but from my rough hands with day and night labor, the chips and cracks disappeared and slipped. It is so different that the left hand that I didn't paint can be seen teasing.
I wonder if this effect alone will be enough for sale. Especially for women.
My mother has been eating with great momentum, so she has become the second subject of human experiments. My mother's smile smiled brightly when her water work became easier.
After simmering the ointment procedure a little bit more, I will talk to Mr. Quid and have him sell it on a trial basis in the city.
Although there are not enough experiments, it is impossible for farmers to conduct further full-scale trials. I am also thinking of consulting with Mr. Quid around here to get him to choose a good buyer.
But even if something happens, it doesn't seem to be a problem. There is a strong idea of whether it is good or bad in this world or self-responsibility.
After saving up the revenue, buy farming equipment or buy horses and cattle to make farming easier. Or is there something better? We need to find out what's best for us.
What is needed for this is knowledge, that is, books. Read more books.
"I'm reading another difficult book. What are you reading now?
It was Miss Micah who smiled at me while I was reading at the church. It seems that I am completely accustomed to coming to the church alone, and I don't seem nervous.
Miss Micah sits next to me and peeks at the book.
"Chi, Kuno... Ji, chi, chi, chi... a practical book for livestock?
"Correct. Well done."
Though not too clumsy, Miss Micah was able to read quite a bit.
I think that if I had a little more experience reading, I would be able to read books as fast as I would normally speak. Currently, I am studying with a focus on writing.
I'm glad to read it, and Miss Micah is happy to read it.
"But why livestock? Livestock is about horses and cattle, right?
"That's right. You mean the animals we can keep. There are other birds, and if you keep them, they'll be livestock."
Meaning meat.
"Yes, meat."
I agree with Miss Micah that nothing is wrong. I can assure you that there can be no other recognition for a child who has to grow up.
"If Aloe's ointment works, you'll get the money. I don't know how much it will be, but I was wondering if you could start something new in this village with the money you put together."
"So, livestock?
"That's a plan. It turns out, however, that even a little research is difficult for livestock, so it's impossible without a lot of money."
Too much expertise and effort required.
If it is impossible to do it with current villagers, people with such expertise must move to the village. We need human houses to migrate and beast houses for livestock. Of course, the early turn livestock must also be purchased from somewhere.
I don't think so, but I can't afford the amount of Aloe ointment in time.
The farming horse that passed away two years ago seems to have survived a horse specially given to develop the village anew. Since it was assumed that it would be used beforehand and crushed, it seems that the initial investment alone would have been cheap.
When it is important to overcome the current difficulties in the early days of development, such a short-range idea would be good, but I think what is needed now is a long-range idea.
Considering this, would it be more cost-effective to make agricultural tools into new iron than domestic animals that assume crushing them?
Chickens are pretty easy, but wolves and monsters come out of the woods, so it's hard to grow them in a barren countryside.
This investigation revealed that monsters are clearly distinguished from vermin such as wolves.
I wonder what it really is...
By the way, there are wolves and monsters coming to the cows and horses, but the chickens seem to attract them to the surface.
This may be the result of varietal improvements from ancient civilizations.
Since cattle and horses are large, there are limits to raising them in the city. It would be easier to graze for food's sake. On the other hand, chickens are quite tolerable in the city due to their small size.
As a result, the chickens were generations in the city without worrying about the vermin, but the large livestock were generations out of the city barrier, threatened by the vermin.
Due to the natural elimination pressure, perverted beasts are likely to discover it, and the bloodline with strong body odor faded. On the other hand, chickens are not exposed to such pressure, so they always squeal every morning. That would already be a delicious noise for the wild.
I don't know if it's true.
There's nothing I can prove while I'm alive, but I'd like to put these considerations together and leave them in the book.
I want you to praise future generations and the great men who were born in the wrong era.
I'll tell Miss Micah a very practical part of that idea.
Even though she's still young, she won't be even funny enough to hang out with me at last.
He's a good man. You must be able to create a nice family in the future.
"Wow! Ash-kun is amazing after all!
"That's not true. I haven't done anything yet."
"That's not true. Aloe's medicine, I think it's amazing. Mom and Dad said it was amazing."
Look, and Miss Micah shows me her hands.
"Huh. Excuse me for a moment."
After I refused, I pulled Miss Micah's hands and looked behind me and at the front, tracing with my fingers.
Never sexual harassment. I'm not Loricon either. It's the same age physically, and I can't see it mentally.
This is a pure observation, an experimental observation. Actually, Miss Micah is subject number three of the Aloe ointment.
When I only applied it to my right hand, the Micah, who was teaching me how to study, noticed the difference between my left and right hands, and told me the reason and I wanted to use it very much. After all, being young means being a girl.
After my own human experiment, I was asked to join my mother in the experiment.
"Yeah, I don't see any unusual reactions like rashes or redness. What about the person who is using it? Do you have pain or itching?
After checking the skin feel, I tried to return to the examination, but Miss Micah did not reply.
When I wondered what was going on, my bright red face became tense, staring at my hand and my hand holding my hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You touched too much recklessly. What I did to women was very disrespectful...."
After all, being young means being a woman. I'm sorry.
If I could make an excuse, I was worried about whether the experimental phase would have a negative impact.
"Uhh, yeah, it's okay... it's okay, so..."
I'm glad Miss Micah is kind.
However, from now on, try to deal with it properly as a woman. That's why the goal in this world is the perfect gentleman, aiming for someone higher than the previous life.
I don't think I understand women's minds, but I want to try my best.
"Um, so... there's nothing Ash-kun noticed at first. Yeah, I'm so glad your skin is smooth."
Really? That's good. "
Even though the world has changed, women's awareness of beauty seems to be common.
At this rate, I wonder if you can expect it when you put it on sale.
"So, my mom wants to try it too...."
Miss Micah asks me for help.
No problem, we just got Subject Four.
"Yeah, I don't mind. However, as I said to Micah at the beginning, there may be side effects or it may not suit you physically."
"If you feel painful, itchy or strange, you should stop using it immediately, right?
Yes, yes.
If you will protect it, I want you to use as much as you want.
Miss Mayka's mother, Madame Yuika, is the benefactor who made me read and listen to the book.
"Now, shall we begin today's study? Do you want to practice writing again today?
"Before that, there were words I didn't understand..."
Well, I'll take it from there.
I've seen most of Miss Micah's studies.
Father Folke, do your job.
