I Shall Survive Using Potions!

"This is Kaol and Reiko, the owners of Little Silver, who helped me and hired me. And this is Aral, the kid I took out with me when I escaped. I'm from another orphanage, but things are the same with us."

On behalf of Irie, Meine briefly introduced me to someone other than the orphanage group.

And...

"... the owner?

Yeah, well, of course I doubt that, if you think I'm around twelve...

"Yeah, yeah! At that age, the owner of a machining workshop! And you took over our orphanage?

"Who is it?! I paid a lot for it!!

Just a little bit after that, we lowered our hips to the clearance of the trees, the meadow, and explained the situation for now.

And when we were talking about Meine's encounter, Lucy made a sudden noise in the middle of the conversation.

"I'm sorry, this kid is in such a hurry... Come on, Lucy, if you're making a scene, just listen to the end of the story!... well, if you make a loud noise in the middle of the night in these woods, monsters and beasts will come soon."

Hih!

Lucy's silence with the little scream probably wasn't about the monster or the beast, but about seeing Irie and Meine's face.

... yeah, that's it, that's it, because you both had scary faces...

Uh, what? Are you scared of my face? Shut the fuck up!

Well, both Meine and Irie seem to be very grateful to me and Reiko for their help.

Besides, not only Meine and Aral, but also Lucy and the three of them, think that the future of the five orphans is at stake for us, so I wonder if we can avoid behaving in a way that would hurt Reiko's mood.

... me and Reiko don't give a shit what little kids think or do.

"But no matter who looks at you, this nee-chan is completely evil..."

…………

"Why won't anyone deny it!!

And after explaining it, it looks like you're finally convinced, Lucy.

"Thank you, Suenaga!

You're marrying me!

I mean, nobody has said "I'll hire you" yet... that's why I'm trying to make it a fait accompli before they say anything. That's right, hold on tight.

No, well, of course I'm hiring, from the beginning.

...?! Stupid me!

Lucy's leg hurt, stay put!

I forgot to focus on the conversation because he looked fine!

It can't hurt. Pretty badly... I had to wrap it up and tie it up so I couldn't walk, and I had to drag my feet and walk... Besides, I cut myself with a rock.

I just looked at it and said it was purple or black, and it was a nasty color and swollen.

Show me your legs!

"Eh...."

"Just show me your left leg!

Either I'm afraid of what I'm going to do or I'm reluctant to force Lucy to show me her legs, which I've been pulling a little. Because Meine also urged Lucy to do what I said, Lucy stretched her fearful left ankle toward me.

The leg was carefully examined by holding the calf from the bottom, taking care not to touch the damaged ankle.

"... didn't the signal say 'no problem'?

"If that's all, it's the scope of 'no problem'. It's not a fatal injury, and even if it slows down a little, it's not like I can't move...."

Isn't that stupid?

If it is impossible, it will get worse and worse, and sequelae may remain. In addition, bacteria may enter, become pus, or suffer from diseases such as tetanus.

So....

Hurry up and stick your hand in the bag...

(Healing potion, out!

Then he grabbed the potion bottle he had created.

"Yes, put this on!

That's what I gave you the potion out of my bag.

Just in case, two bottles. One bottle is sprayed on the injured part and the other bottle is drunk. In case bacteria are already circulating in your body....

It will be okay just to let him take it, but even though it is a trauma, taking medicine is obviously strange...

However, Lucy will not accept the potion bottle.

Is it because I don't feel comfortable using suspicious medicine? Or are you afraid you'll be charged for expensive medicine and let me just work for years...?

I can't help it. These children have struggled too much to believe easily in the first person they meet.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it. I'll do it myself.

I opened the lid of the potion and gently sprayed the potion on Lucy's left foot.

Let's start with a rock cut. And sprained and swollen...

And let him drink another bottle. In the middle of the day, it was forced.

"Eh...."

…………

Pokémon....

"Ah...."

Seeing the injury healed in an instant, Lucy had a surprising expression, Meine and Aral with their natural faces, Irie and Fria with their eyes open and hardened, and Reiko with some stunned face.

"Mi... upu!

"Me... aaggh!

And what did you say, Meine, blocked Ily's mouth with your hands.

Likewise, he apprenticed Meine and blocked Friar's mouth.

Mi?

What did they say?

And why did Meine and Aral shut their mouths in such a hurry?

Lucy won't let it stiffen up and move slightly...

"Tonight, I'm going to stay here for the night."

Kokukoku!

With everyone's approval, the night camp at this place is decided.

This is where the trees are sparsely scattered, just around the corner where Lucy was secured.

There, as usual, they put out carriages (panzers), followed by assembled tents, cooking tables, water tanks, mollusks, ingredients, chairs and tables, and more....

Just in case, choose a Panzer that is more expensive and more defensive than a god's tank (Mercava) for bed. Put the children to bed, me and Reiko use the tent.... I'm sure the children will be thrilled by the stories and won't be able to put them to sleep.

(... aren't you going to hide it anymore?

(Hmm... But, well, I guess I still have to "pretend I didn't realize it"... Well, most stories do, don't they? "Omae, why don't you notice? You promise that the situation will continue?

(Ah, after all?

"Aral, Mine, did you say something?

"No, nothing!

"Oh, really? Let's make dinner. Help us all."

Kokukoku!

Three new members nodding desperately.

(In the meantime, they just understood that 'Don't defy this guy'....)

And that's what I was thinking, Reiko...
