Chapter 14 (2/2)

The brick walls on the alleyway is narrow and sunlight does not seem to reach well, it was dark. Even though I can’t read Reiss’ expressions, I became uneasy as the bustling crowds are getting less and less. (TL: Doki doki, what is this perverted potato planning.)

Finally getting out of the alleway, there was a single shop surrounded by pots.

It was a refres.h.i.+ng two-storey building with a wooden door that a sign written 『Leon’s Drugstore』was hanging.

Drugstore?

After saying「We’re just going to pick up the orders. It’ll soon be over」, Reiss opened the door and entered the shop.

The floor has wood tiles that looks old and made a creaking noise when stepped at. The shelves on the wall was full of medicine bottles and the air brought the smell of medicine to my nose, there are a lot of medicinal herbs hanging on the wide ceilings.

I wonder that it’s just my imagination that these looked like some kind of suspicious medicines.

「Nn? Costumer? Ah, welcome Reiss-kun. It has already been prepared—」

From the far end of the counter appeared another suspicious person with a tattered white coat and wearing gla.s.ses. He has unhealthy pale looking skin and messy hair like a seaweed.

This seaweed person seems the only one around here, and must be the owner, Leon. It seems like Reiss is a regular here and they’re familiar with each other.

「A~re—? Reiss brought a girl. That’s rare. Your lover? Little sister?」

「Sist…..!?」

「……Don’t talk about pointless things. Hurry up and end what I came here for」

Lover aside, I was dumbfounded to be seen as someone younger than Reiss. Even though I’m two years older.

Reiss glared at him like a sharp blade, he just answered 「Alright, al~right」in a relaxed manner and took out a brown paper bag below the counter.

I don’t know what kind of medicine was inside since I can’t see the contents, and my mouth opened wide with the amount of gold payed to Leon-san, which made me make a startled voice.

「E, Expensive…..!? With this amount of gold, I can already buy a small land in the territory…..! Just what kind of medicine is that!?」

「That’s because this medicine is special ordered. Isn’t these stuffs normal—? You know, sleeping medicines—」

「Sleeping medicine….?」

Why does Reiss need something like that? Is he actually insomniac?

While I was tilting my head, Reiss told him to stop spouting nonsense and Leon-san handed over the paper bag. But during moment, the contents inside fell.

A small bottle rolled over the floor went to my feet.

I bent down to pick it, then I saw the character label and a figure of flower drawn, I then muttered.

「Licolla flowers……」

Looking closely at the bottle, the liquid inside has the same colors as Reiss eyes, like that of the red flower.

But, I wonder if there are components on Licolla flower that can be extract to make sleeping medicines? If I’m right, Licolla flowers is used in medicines effective for headaches and rough skin treatments….and also some other things, but I didn’t know it has something that can be used to induced sleeping.

「Ah, do you know? That flower. You can get that in a lot of place. It’s just an ordinary sleeping medicine to Reiss-kun, well I did made some trial and error after preparing it, so I can’t say it won’t work—. That’s why the flower’s effective only for Reiss-kun」

I didn’t notice when but Leon-san has picked up the bottle from my hand. He then handed it to Reiss smoothly.

Leon-san then talked something to Reiss who was frowning before quickly leaving the shop, opening the door quickly.
