When I got home, I locked myself in the library and stared at Maddy's ingredient list.

... as you can see, three plants together should be able to develop a speckle medicine.

Three types of plants: Lipsim, Torquis, and Calan. Each of them is of little use on its own, but it plays a major role by combining it with something.

However, it may explode or become a pointless medicine depending on how you heat or fuse it.

In the meantime, let's get to Paul, the botanist. Money can be managed by Arnold.

With a book in hand, I rushed out of the library. [M]

Take the carriage again to the town.

I've never been to the city alone. [M] My heart is a little noisy. Everyone thinks you're a child, but I can be nervous, and there are things I'm afraid of.

But I can't be frightened in this place. We have to tighten up.

The carriage stops as it shakes a little bit. "Here we are," the voice of the ruler can be heard from the outside.

Get out of the carriage and step forward in front of the entrance to the botanical garden.

Paul hates people from poor villages. I've known it for a long time. A little fear inspires me. [M] I realized once again that I was protected by Alicia.

They might tell you to go home. I may be able to fill it with water. Unnecessary worry is in my head.

"Still, we have to go."

I'm ready to go into the shop. The moment I walk in, a bell rings like a karan karan karan. At the same time, a man wearing glasses comes out from the back.

"Welcome."

Looking at me, Paul hardened. I didn't make an explicitly unpleasant face, but I said, "What's wrong?” in a slightly pointed tone.

It was a mild impression, but when I met him as an informant, I showed my true nature, and then I stopped wearing a cat.

"I have a plant I want."

What plant?

Paul stares at me casually. [M]

"Lipsim, Torquis, Karan"

"Three of them? What do you use them for?" Torquis is used to make bombs.... have you finally bled out? "

I can see that Paul doesn't trust me at all. [M] I'm sure he's planning a treason.

I stare into his eyes. [M] Paul was slightly puzzled by the pressure. I tell him in a serious voice. [M]

"There's someone I want to help."

My voice echoed quietly to the store. [M] Paul thought about it after he had hardened a little. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth.

"There's no medicine that uses those three."

"It's a new drug."

"... you're a disciple of a daughter who was banished from the country."

Paul smiles bitterly.

"I'm not an apprentice, I'm a partner."

I responded instantly to myself. [M] He sighed tinyly at the reaction. Remove the plants from the shelf as if they had given up somewhere.

"She was a strange girl." I never thought I'd be deported.... a lot has changed since she disappeared. There are no more poor villages, and everyone in this town is scared. "

Why?

Because security is going to get worse.

Is it worse?

No, Paul and I shake our heads. Add “just”.

"You must be living with your anxiety all the time."

The inhabitants of the poor village are not far from where Duke prepared them. That should give you peace of mind.

That's what I want to say, but for some reason I'm stuck with words. There is no place in the world that is completely safe.
