noon when the lecture was also over.

In the corner of the Royal Palace library, turn the book page securely.

What I received today was a magic lecture, and I could have gone to the exercise area after the lecture.

But somehow I didn't feel comfortable and decided to read the book in the library.

Of the many books, the one I chose was the Herbal Dictionary.

This book details detailed drawings of medicinal herbs, efficacy, and more.

I read it once, but it's interesting to read it back and have another new discovery.

When I was looking through my eyes, I noticed something.

The main areas of origin are listed in the description of the herbs, but there are some place names that we often see in them.

Returning to the page without any concern, its place names are mentioned in many herbal regions.

Not only HP and MP, but also herbs that served as materials for potions that restored various state abnormalities, seemed to be the origin there.

I thought it was one of the biggest producers of medicinal herbs, and I remembered that that was where the land had come up on the subject the other day.

Yes, they say herb shipments are decreasing, that's the region.

It's just said to be one of the biggest producers of herbs, and it really seems that a variety of herbs can be picked in the region.

I don't know what is causing the decrease in herb shipments, but if this is where so many types of herbs can be harvested, the impact of this problem is quite wide.

It seems that the general public may also use potions to restore abnormal conditions.

Once I come up with it, maybe it's my personality that bothers me.

I thought I'd look into the area now, and I heard a noise from the entrance to the library.

The door opened with a murmuring noise, from which brown hair peered.

"Ah, Mr. Sai."

"Hello"

It was Ai Liang from Miso who came in.

With me, the girl who has been summoned to this world.

I'm supposed to graduate in about a month, but I'm still supposed to be at the Royal School (Academy) now.

If this is the time, it should be during school class, but why did you come to the library?

"You're not in class yet?

"No, I didn't have class today, I went to the Demon Division."

"Yes, it was."

"So, I wanted to do some research."

Ailang's story is that the people who are due to graduate this year already have no classes and are free to attend school at the school.

Do you think people who didn't get some grades are taking supplementary courses hard right now?

Around there, it's very similar to Japanese high schools.

In the meantime, Ai Liang is a top performer, and after graduation, she has decided to join the Court Demon Division.

They go to the Court Demon Division on days without classes because they are more capable of studying in the Court Demon Division than they are of taking supplementary courses.

Apart from Holy Attribute Magic, Ailang had the proper water attribute magic and wind attribute magic, but until a while ago, she only raised the level of Holy Attribute Magic.

Since I started attending the court magic division, they have improved my mechanics and strength by training other attribute magic as well.

Originally, very few people have the magical propriety of multiple attributes, so it is expected that if they raise the level, they will be among the top powerful members of the Court Magic Division.

Studies in the Court Demon Division seem to consist of lectures and training, just like mine.

There was a little hard to understand part of that lecture, so you came to the library today to check things out?

There's a lot of literature on magic in the court magic division, but there's a lot of specialized stuff, and it's hard to content.

I've been in the library looking into magic the same way, so I get it.

"Did you find out anything about Sei, too?

"Yeah, about the herbs. Oh, I wonder if it would help if you could keep a secret that I was here."

"Ah...... Okay."

To my words, Ai Liang returned a bitter laugh.

Why keep it a secret that I was here?

I guess it's because I figured out why.

Time for magic lectures here these days is occupied by a topic that has about a third.

That topic is, of course, about the [Virgin] technique I used.

I wiped out all the swamps and demons in the West Forest at once, that technique.

Since returning to the Royal Palace from the West Forest, I have not yet been able to activate the [Virgin] technique.

I don't think I have a choice when it comes to not knowing the activation conditions.

At that time, the division chief was also watching up close, but even if he could follow magical movements and so on, he couldn't get to the point of identifying the activation conditions.

And I was very sorry about that.

That's right.

Master Division's research soul has caught fire, hasn't it?

Dear Division Leader, a magical idiot who must be a rumor.

I started researching how I could use my magic lecture time to activate that magic somehow.

That's what I observe and do with my magic, very enthusiastically.

If Intelli Eyeglasses hadn't stopped me, so much so that all my lecture time would have been spent researching it.

I've had it stopped for once, so far I've just had to sacrifice a third of my lecture time.

I asked Era to keep her quiet because I didn't want such a division leader to know.

If the division chief found out I was reading a book on herbs in the library right now, it would definitely go along with the research.

Definitely.

Perhaps as much as all the magicians in the Court Magic Division will nod, no doubt.

I am also interested in the art of [Virgin].

Whatever you say, you can fortify the herbs.

However, it became a little spiritually tight to continue spending time on things that cannot be turned into boulders.

I guess that's also why I wasn't in the mood to head to the exercise area after the lecture.

So today I decided to do whatever I wanted with my mood swings.

"I thought herbs were unique plants in this world, but they're not."

"Right. Plants called herbs are roughly treated as herbs."

That's what Ira said as she peered into the book I was reading from the side, feeling somewhere she might miss it.

The page that was open just contained herbs that were familiar in Japan.

From there, talking to Era about herbs for a while, I heard the library door open again.

When we both turned towards the entrance, we saw Liz.

"Good day, Sai, Ira"

"Long time no see."

"Hello"

It's been a long time since I've seen Liz here.

There have been many things about the First Prince, but Liz is still educated in the royal palace as the future queen.

Unlike First Prince and Era, Liz has one more year until graduation to attend school.

For that reason, it seems no exaggeration to say that Liz's day is occupied between the school and the royal palace.

I'm very busy.

And since I started taking lectures, I've been busy.

I don't think it's a good idea that the chances of the two of them meeting each other have diminished.

"You're still reading the herbal book today."

Just like Era, Liz laughs as she peeks into the book at my disposal.

If you ask me, I always felt like I'd just been reading pharmaceutical books when I met Liz.

"It'll make you feel better."

"Even though it's your work book?

"It was originally a hobby. We do a lot of things with oil extracted from the herbs."

"Is it aromatherapy?

"Yes, yes."

"What is Aromatherapy?

"Aromatherapy..."

Liz leaned her neck toward the unfamiliar words here, so Ai Liang and I will explain that it's Ah Chiko.

As we talked about it that way, the topic moved on to talk about the recent shortage of herbs here.

"We've been talking about this for a long time, but is Sei okay with your time?

"It's okay. It is also my job to look into herbs. Besides, I can't make potions when I get back to the lab."

"Really?

"It seems that medicinal herbs are getting harder these days, and our director finally issued a potion ban."

"Speaking of which, I heard about that, too. You think the price of herbs is going up?"

"Do you know what Klausner territory is? He's famous for his herbs."

"I know. The territory is also famous for its herbal origins, but it is also famous as a sanctuary for pharmacists."

"The Pharmacist's Sanctuary?

Klausner territory is the name of that region where the quantity of herbs shipped was reduced, which was the basis of this ban on potion making.

If Liz is queen educated, I asked her if she might know more about the region of the country as well, and she did what she expected.

So the first time I leaned my neck toward the word "pharmacist's sanctuary," now Liz and Era taught me.

Ai Liang also knows because she learned it in school classes.

According to the story, Klausner territory also produces more herbs, while also producing many kinds.

Various potions have been developed because precious herbs that cannot be picked from other territories are also native in small amounts.

It is also said that there are potions that are not mentioned in the books because of their wide variety and diversity.

The secret potion passed down from generation to generation to each pharmacist's house is the epitome.

And many pharmacists visited Klausner territory in search of ways to formulate such a secret potion.

From that, when did people only start calling Klausner territory the sacred site of pharmacists?

"Heh, different kinds of potions."

"Yep. I've never seen it, but my father says he's actually seen it."

"The real thing in the potion?

"It's real, but it's actually used in front of us, and he said that the subjects were from our homes, and there were no lies or lies about its effects."

"It is."

I'm kind of excited to hear there are all kinds of potions.

Some of the secret potions may be beyond advanced.

I wonder if I can somehow find out how to combine them.

Even after the story ran out and I broke up with Liz and Era, I couldn't get that out of my mind the whole time.
