“Right Fresh etables rot when not quickly consumed There’s no choice but to depend foods that will last for the rest of the journey, such as hard biscuit or wine”
“Don’t you think that can’t be healthy for the body?”
Her expression became bewildered “Well, I suppose…”
“Are you saying it’s malnutrition?” asked Master Julius
I nodded firmly, “Yes Such a lack of variety threatens their health”
When I was a high schooler, I wrote a report on a world issue, one that began around the 15th century and lasted until the e of Exploration, an era of European overseas exploration
In those days, there was a disease sailors feared more than pirates
We nohat the cure for it is, but back in those days, because they didn’t even knohat the cause was, 100 out of 180 men died on an expedition to India
That disease was scurvy
A terrible disease that develops with long-terue and joint pains, bruises forums bleed, the teeth fall out, and then finally, death
“I understand how important it is to eat well from my sister-in-law’s case”
Lady E’shabits andlike he was about to respond positively, but he immediately frowned
“However,” he continuedly reluctantly “It is difficult to believe that a healthy man will suddenly keel over a limited diet”
Well, not an unexpected reaction…
I didn’t knohat to do I had a headache
“This is an exa brick?”
“B-brick?” Miss Bianka was stunned at the abrupt change of topic
Head tilted to the side, Master Julius answered, “Clay and sand, as well as lime and water, I believe?”
“Then what happens it without one of those materials?”
This ti no clay is out of the question, and without water you can’t make a proper mixture The brick will still harden without lime or sand, but it won’t be a decent product”
“It becoth Ahh, I see,” Master Julius said understandingly “So the huht?”
“Yes If it doesn’t receive proper nutrition, the huile as well At first it may be small… Nails become easily broken, hair becomes brittle, but if thetiin to appear everywhere?” I desperately appealed to him
How difficult it was to explain without modern words
For exaility in your blood vessels, whicheasier Or, vitaen There was no way I could explain all that with my oords That’s out of my domain I was always in the humanities camp as well
Master Julius seereen eyes fixed on ht into my soul, so I averted my eyes while I forced myself to endure
“I understand”
“Huh?”
The sole this entire time disappeared as he smiled “I’ll believe you”
“Err, are you…sure?”
There was no confidence in my voice
The corners of Master Julius’s eyes crinkled when he sa exhausted I was
“I don’t kno I’ll solve it, but I don’t have tiainst the wall, so the situation can’t get any worse”
“Yes, but…”
“Besides, when it comes to you, there’s a part of ht be way”
Teasingly, Master Julius winked at me
I told hireed
“My apologies On top of it all, I pretended like I was testing you” Brows a little raised, he see so bold, dare I also hope you kno to solve this problem?”
That’s right As long as Master Julius believed me, it wasn’t the end It starts here
Seriously, I nodded
“I do”
