Late in June, when the mine was managing to have zero revenue and expenditure on pramai by increasing the supply of goods for sale on the market. Reina, back from Wang Du, gave me a letter from Eina.
If you read it, there's, 'It's a drug Dr. Lucrea makes, but it's losing quality. Still finer than what I make, but it can't be the job of someone with that much skill. Isn't something going on? It said'.
... There's only one thing I can think of.
Recently, pharmacists have made me skinny (or) as much as I did when I met them.
No matter how many times I recommended a break, they would strongly reject me, and I was wondering if my health care was made at a critical place because I was a pharmacist, but apparently I was sweet.
I'm ready to go to the pharmacist.
"Mr. Pharmacist."
"What?
The pharmacist who is formulating the medicine replies only with his voice without taking his eyes off the instrument.
I haven't done an appraisal in a long time and it is "Fatigue (Strong) Disease (Medium) Fasting (Medium)". You haven't even eaten rice...
I thought there was no such thing as an elf that was already emptying (emptying) my stomach in this mine, but I didn't know I was here. Maybe he doesn't feel hungry in person...
"Eina wrote to me. He said the quality of the medicine he delivered last time was down."
"- Right, okay. My mistake. Write me back to make sure this never happens again."
Oh, no, this guy. I'm still willing to push myself.
"... pharmacist, I have a favor to ask you today"
"What? I won't ask you if you want to rest, now is not the time to do that. It's a lot better than when they used to work here."
That would be better than when I was sick, hungry, fatigued and all (strong), but I was really dying then. I'm still far from being in decent physical condition.
"It's not about that today. I came to ask the pharmacist to be under my command."
…………
As usual, the gaze does not move from between the instruments, but the air is felt to pinch.
"... what if I told you I didn't like it?
"I will end my support for the mine"
――――
The pharmacist is turning a blind eye for a moment, but this time he can't pull it off.
The pharmacist immediately put his gaze back on hand, but asks in a cold voice as he does his work.
"What's the purpose?
"I'll have you do your job according to a schedule I've set. Specifically, as I have ten days of fever medication, I have no choice but to work three days in a row, after which I take 12 hours off. Otherwise, sleep at least six hours a day and eat well. The interval between making a ten-day fever medicine is at least three days. I can't help it when there's an emergency."
"... I see why you want to give me health instruction as a pharmacist"
"Yes, it is. The pharmacist won't listen to me if I ask him, so I want a position where I can order him. If I fall now, that's what's going to put so many elves' lives at risk, but I don't even know that, because I don't seem to be calm enough!
"... well, the ability to see the health of an example... so that's all the purpose?
"No, because I need the help of a pharmacist to plan for the future."
"What plan?
"It's my plan to make sure my sister and I live safely."
"And what good am I?
"First of all, I want you to become our attending physician in anticipation of the high abilities of the pharmacist. And the place to live safely is where no other power extends. We want to make it an elf country made of liberated elves. Because you won't have bad feelings when you're the one who freed us from slavery.
And to do that, we need to free up more elves. Of course you need funding, but you also need someone with knowledge of pharmacy and medicine. I don't want you to fall down here. "
"More elves...?
"Yes, even the mines aren't just here, and there are a lot of elves that are made to work on farms and in the city. Some of the elves are being made children in vain on the ranch. There may be other miserable places like this one."
"There are other places like here..."
Naturally, you knew, but you dared not think about it. The pharmacist makes his expression rude and his chewed back teeth make 'giddy' noises.
"My plan is for me and my sister, but it should also be something that benefits the elves. As things stand, I'm having a rough time running one mine. It may not be convincing for me to say, but in the long run, could you help me?
The pharmacist seemed to be thinking about it, staring at the instrument and moving his hand.... Another push?
"Pharmacists won't be able to tolerate imitations (mane) that force excessive labor until you break your body to an elf, will they? I'm the same. So now, even though the pharmacist is of his own free will, he can't abandon being ill with excessive labor. You saved my sister's life, because you are also a great benefactor!
In a slightly stronger tone, tell them to make a decision.
The words you put out to engage the plight of a medic who saw hell may turn out to be counterproductive if you suck, but what about fulfilling it...
With no response from the pharmacist, only the twitch and time pass......
How many minutes had passed, the pharmacist slowly opened his mouth.
"... okay, I'll put you under your command. However, I would like time to look around the hospital room for two hours before I rest for another 12 hours after taking three days to make the medicine. I will obey your orders."
The comfort of relief spreads throughout my body to the words uttered when I look at this one for a moment.
"Of course I don't mind that. Best regards,"
"Uhm...... so what do I do? Kneel (kneel first) and swear allegiance? Can I call you your husband?
"No, you don't have to do that. If only you could protect what I just said. Anything else can be as it has always been.
Lynne's under my supervision, too, but you didn't call your husband, did you? I do, but that was the first time I met the innkeeper and the customer, so I'm just pulling that off. (Kneel (kneel first) and I feel sworn loyalty...)
"Okay. I can make this medicine tomorrow at noon, so let's go around the hospital room and take a 12-hour break."
"Thank you. Eat properly as you work on your meal but ask for something that is easy to eat."
"Oh, it's my husband's orders."
You'll be fine for real...... well, I don't think you're the type to fool people, so maybe you'll be fine.
I just headed to the kitchen and asked Kaori to prototype something that looked like a rice balls or a sandwich...
