Chapter 60 (1/2)

The Reincarnated Princess’s Request (6)

“Master Julius”

“Yes?”

“What were the provisions like on that shi+p?”

He blinked a few ti withpart in the conversation My sudden interest must have startled him, but he didn’t try to ask funny questions and looked down at the document in his hands

“Since it was for a long journey, it’s hard to say they had an abundance, but they weren’t left to starve Their main diet comprised of salted meat and fish, hard biscuits, cheese, and beer”

“In other words, only foods that preserve well over a long period And theythe way?”

“From what I can tell, that was indeed the case Or perhaps there weren’t any ports to stop by There are some small islands from the southeast to the mainland, but they’re either uninhabited or settled bycultures Trespassingunnecessary trouble”

Did they decide there was nothing to gain byif the food situation was not desperate enough?

“I’dos?”

“Nebel’s sailors? … Much of it would bejourney the shi+ps will enter port a few times to replenish food supplies For a few days, there will also be fresh vegetables and meat”

“I knew it…”

That was the big difference between the sailors from Nebel and the dead sailors

Master Julius picked up my words “You knew?”

I noticed my blunder and shut up, but it was too late Everyone’s eyes were trained on me

“Do you know so?”

Master Julius’s characteristically sleepy green eyes were bright, and I had a nagging sensation he was expecting so from me… or was that just me?

I sed

What should I tell them? How much should I reveal? How do I prove , but with the situation like this, there was no avoiding it

A little desperately, I said, “I ht know about that disease”

“Huh?!”

Only Miss Bianka expressed surprise Sir Leonhard merely looked a little more alert And Master Julius’s eyes started to shi+ne evenso much hope on me

I discreetly rubbed un to ache with pain

“Marie? What do you mean, you knohat it is?” asked Miss Bianka asked, her confusion plain to see

“I happen to have soe of the symptoms Master Julius spoke of But only from what I’ve read in a book…”

I could only think of two explanations on the spot: “I heard it from someone” or “It ritten in a book”

Even with the book, if they ask for the origins of the source, I’ot… Was that asking too much…?

“A book? Marie, you’re reading so so difficult?”

Master Julius answered her: “I daresay Miss Marie is more of an avid reader than any of us She not only reads books frodoms as well”

Right? He sought reement, and I nodded faintly

Although it was n books to me Some of the books I haven’t read yet, either It was easier if they ritten in the official language of a es were too hard I’d spare no effort for research if there was a portion that interested h

Miss Bianka looked a! Even though you’re so sobble you up!”

Please don’t eat me

“Miss Marie is very dedicated to her studies Whenever I coift, with high expectations that if anyone can read them it be will her”

Master Julius’s eyes sparkled like a little boy’s as he continued excitedly: I was afraid foreign books wouldn’t ifts for a child Picture books, however, are either cookbooks orat the pictures, but I never expected she could read them……

Sir Leonhard reined in their conversation “You two, you’re digressing”

“Forgive me… Marie, will you tell us the rest?” Flushed, as if embarrassed he had to be reined in, Master Julius cleared his throat

I nodded, “The main cause of this disease is in their diet”

“Their diet?” Miss Bianka repeated and I turned to her

“When a shi+p keeps sailing for a long time, like the one in Master Julius’s story, the food inevitably starts to lack variety”
