Episode 22.17-18 (1/2)
”Welcome back. Now then, let's begin.”
”Begin what.”
”Like I told you, stamina restoratives making. The special kind.”
Ten herb saucers and one tureen have been put on the table.
”Come, first pour Pure Magic Water into the tureen.”
Afterward, Lecan did as Shira instructed, but it turned out he was making a tremendously high quality stamina restorative which demanded unbelievable precisions and delicate workmanship from him.
His hand must not shake in the slightest once it gets the ingredients out on the saucers. Everything was done through the use of <Move> magic.
The herbs are soaked and heated using magic. Extremely precise control was required in order to squeeze out their efficacy to its utmost.
Every step of the process was all practical use of the things Lecan had learned from Shira. However the degree of perfection demanded was on a wholly different level than anything before.
<Recovery> has to be put the instance the herbs melt in the Pure Magic Water. Lecan had to bring his concentration to the absolute limit in order to ensure that.
All that enormous work only netted him one piece of Stamina Restorative.
”Alright. Do it again.”
”Wha?”
”Do what you just did again. I won't say a word this time, okay.”
”No. I'm tired. It's late. Save it for tomorrow.”
”I'm telling you to do it now.”
Lost to her pressure, Lecan cast <Recovery> on himself and went on to make another piece of Stamina Restorative.
”Alright, well you managed to get a passing mark somehow. Good work. Come here again tomorrow morning, doesn't have to be early. Got it?”
”Got it.”
Eda was worried when Lecan got back. Understandable since it was dead at night. He was awfully tired, but Eda's
made it felt like a lie, he felt so much better. He went to bed after having a meal.
The next morning, he went to Shira's house slightly late.
However, Shira is nowhere to be seen.
(Weird. She told me to come herself.)
He looked at Jericho.
Jericho is staring at Lecan with a troubled look on its face.
It's holding something on its hand.
Jericho handed that something to Lecan.
It's letters.
Two letters.
One for Lecan, another for the town lord.
Shira had never left Lecan with letters before.
He opened the letter addressed to him while having a bad feeling about it.
<Some business came up, I'm going on a trip.>
<Go deliver the letter to the town lord.>
<He'll surely tell what you should do then.>
It was a puzzling letter.
