79 Left Souvenirs 2

"Anessa! No! It's this way to see!

I couldn't move into the subtle air.

Confused as to what to do, the Virgin grabbed Mr. Anessa's head with both hands, forcefully pointing it at her desk.

"Ha!?... I've noticed!

"You need to fix that sudden stop first."

... Are you a jerk?

Might be a little bad for your heart if you get hit in front of me.

Be sure to fix it positively.

Restart your mind and start observing carefully what's on your desk, Mr. Anessa.

Looking from the side, he stared at the desk with such a sharp eye that he didn't think he had just teased the mess.

"Anessa. You know what these are?

"Ah, yes. Virgin."

Oh, you know what I mean? Awesome.

Anessa returns a light affirmative reply.

Hmm. After showing me how to think of one thing all the time, I pointed to one thing on my desk.

"First of all, this is a taro stem."

"Potato stem? This is it?

When Mr. Anessa said referring to something like dry tree skin, the Master reacted astonishingly.

The great men who line up their faces with sloppiness begin to simmer in unison.

... good?

"Yes, it looks like it's dried for an even longer time than what we usually use, but I'm pretty sure it is."

"A potato stem is... I never thought of it"

I mean, you didn't even think about it, in the first place, what's wrong with it?

"Um... what is it that works?

I kind of asked a horrible question as everyone nodded naturally.

I see eye to eye with Mr. Anessa, who was right on my side.

……

Hello? Hello?

Sparn and the Virgin put her head behind Mr. Anessa's.

"Anessa! Don't stop. No!

"Ha!?

... Why stop there.

"Ah, uh. A potato stem is one in which the stem of a satoimo is dried for long-term storage and is commonly eaten as a supplement. Satoimos are often picked around here, so they are very commonly handled. This seems to be longer and drier than the one in circulation, and I don't think that's why I didn't know that at first glance."

"It's a satoimo stem. This."

"Yes. It's very nutritious. It is also frequently used in the temple's kitchen."

"Is that what I was saying?"

I didn't know.

Sometimes I eat satoimo itself, but I don't think the potato stems were in much circulation in our village.

Is it something that's out there just around here?

Except for me, I'm nodding with Unh Unh, including the Master of Laws. It seems familiar to everyone.

Mr. Anessa then points to the amber powder.

"So, this powder. Maybe this is the one that crushed the lignia stone. I think it's the same thing in the lab."

"It's a lignia stone!?

Unexpectedly, it was one day a plentiful old man who roughed up his voice like he said.

Sure, was it Count Halladetel?

You had him, too. Well, are you there?

"Oh, you even use that stuff as an ingredient for your medication!?

"Calm down, Uncle Halladetend."

"But the law lord. Lignia stone, etc. …"

Yes. Count Halladetend.

Either way, Halladetel.

Count Halladetend is embarrassed by the Master, but he still palates with Gognogonho and something.

Easy, old man.

I wonder what a Lignia Stone is.

"Alongside the corners of the unicorn, it is a demonic stone known for its healing effect. It's not as effective as the corner of a unicorn to cure all injuries and illnesses, but it's broad enough to be treated as a pandemic medicine, especially for illnesses, and it shows its effects."

It definitely contained Mr. Leanscheid's commentary.

Mr. Leanscheid, who is also taught not to ask.

Maginais.

I don't think I'm a little scared.

I wonder why I can always answer before I ask.

"There is such a thing.... So why is that halladetend old man blue-faced?

Ask the old man of Halladetend how he is holding his voice down.

I'm somewhat concerned about surprises.

"I think because Lignia stone is a demonic stone that is purified only in the womb of a big bobcat-like demon, called Lunx. Lunx is not such a powerful demon, but it can be quite dangerous to get it."

"... Could it be a rare item?

"It's also a common demon, so the circulation is supposedly there. But I thought it would never be cheap."

I see.

You have a price.

"What is Lignia stone powder…. So Anessa. What's like this bulb root at the end? What kind of bulb is this?"

"This bulb root, but this..."

Encouraged by the Master, Mr. Anessa points to the last remaining bulb root.

It is a dry brown bulb with about one pick.

"What's this?

Potato stalks, lignia stones, everyone's gaze concentrates.

Mr. Anessa gave him a crisp look.

"I don't know."

"... don't you see?

Everyone is even more obsessed with Anessa, who answers with confidence.

"Yes. I don't know. Or it would seem rather difficult to identify just by looking at this"

"I called you to discern that! Don't know. Forgive me!

Halladetend barks.

What are you so prestigious about a scumbag you don't even know? I knew it was something, I don't like it.

"I don't know......, huh? It is certainly difficult to discern only by looking at the bulb roots, even if it is so dry...... I can't help it."

Hold down the yelling halladetend old man, and the Master will shelter Mr. Anessa.

I know the other two, so I think it's a special prize.

But Mr. Anessa was there, um, twisted his neck.

"I wonder if maybe this is it, I have something in mind. But the other two are the ones that presuppose taking it, so I don't think so... There's no way I'm going to tell you this because there's no certainty."

With a difficult face, Mr. Anessa keeps twisting his neck.

Olds in a hurry for a response that doesn't get one thing right now.

As if to speak for everyone's thoughts, the Virgin asks questions.

"Anessa. Anything that comes to mind,... you have it"

"There is to be... I can't say anything."

"Liquorice."

The answer came out of the mouth of a different person than Mr. Anessa, who said:

The surrounding gaze gathers in a clearly asserted Bel Adone.

Mr. Anessa also looked up at Bel Adone and said to the Virgin that she was going to stop.

Bel Adone exhales one and goes on even further.

"It's definitely the bulb root of Liquorice, though. From what I've seen, don't do it in front of poison. Let it dry."

"I knew...... You're Liquorice."

Mr. Anessa dropped his shoulders so as to make a more difficult face.

... Is it not dark? Why would you do that?

"Yikes, now I hear poison!? What are you talking about?

It was, after all, Count Halladetend who responded to Beradne's words as soon as possible.

Your face turns bright red and you're angry.

Why are you so angry there? I don't know what that means.

"Because liquorice is poisonous grass. They say it's the most poisonous of all the bulbs. It's dry and shrinking in volume, but given its original size..."

"This one doesn't make it fatal. Don't worry."

"Mr. Beradne. Anessa. Is this the bulb root of Liquorice, really for sure?

Confirm again to the two daughters-in-law with a difficult face as the old men sat back when they heard it was poisonous.

"The land where Wonsha's parents lived was made of a large group of fabrics of this flower, originally known as Liquorice and, in some regions, Higambana. Nowadays they cut me open a lot, but I still take a close look at them right from when I was little. There must be some hassle in seeing Licorice wrong."

The land of Hisaka, right?

I do remember hearing that story from the Demon King.

Bel Adone and the others lived in a large group of fabrics in Hisaka, where no one was originally close.

"... ok. If that's what Mr. Beradne would say, I'm pretty sure it's the first thing. I hear that some medicinal herbs are toxic on their own."

I went into the summary as if the Master were going to fix it.

Cough one up, gather everyone's ears.

"It's more important to identify the medicines that you can prescribe these ingredients and the diseases that will require them than whether Liquorice is poisonous grass. Anessa, what kind of medication can I prescribe to cure this disease? Can you give me your point of view?"

"None."

Anessa responds instantly.

For the first time in a very short time, everyone hardened up.

"What's this all about? Anessa."

I've never heard of topical drugs that prescribe the whole bulb root of liquorice.

There was heavy silence in Mr. Anessa's words that followed.

"Is this really..., a prescription for medication?
