Chapter 98: New Honey Juice
The knights who lost the duel have gone back to the castle, but the non-knights are still here. I asked Princess Henri about these people and she said that they are necessary.
Then we went inside the house again. When I suggested a chair to Princess Henri and Liese, Princess Henri's attitude changed.
"At last the noisy knights are gone! I'm free! Thank you, Takuto-san. Thank you"
"Pr, Princess. I understand your concern, but we're in front of the citizens!?"
"I'm sorry, but it's too late for that. Please don't tell anyone about this, Takuto-san"
I feel like I'm being threatened here. I'm not sure what to say, but I think it's best to be natural and I think the princess needs a place where she can show herself.
"Is that the case...I understand. I'll keep this a secret"
"You're as good as Liese said you were"
"Isn't he? I'm a good judge of character"
It seems that the two of them are of the same generation and get along well. And then Princess Henri assessed the battle that had just taken place.
"Even so, it was a wonderful strength"
"I've seen your skill with a sword before, but you're quite adept at martial arts as well"
"Not really. I'm just an imitator of martial arts. I don't think I'd be able to beat a professional"
"You're certainly no match for someone who takes something to the extreme. But in battle, you are extremely troublesome. There's nothing more frightening than an opponent who doesn't know what kind of tricks he's got up his sleeve"
It's an honor to be evaluated like that by this butler. Now, let's get down to business.
"So it's about the honey juice, right?"
"That's right! That drink is wonderful! I've never had such a delicious drink in my life! But it has more important effects than taste"
"Princess, I'll take it from there"
An elderly man in a white coat took over from Princess Henri and began to speak. He looks like a doctor by the looks of him.
"My name is Hippocrates and I am the doctor of the First Princess Sylphy Freetia. Pleased to make your acquaintance from now on"
Yes yes. It's a name I've heard. You can say that he is the father of modern medicine. It is said that he was the first person who abandoned the idea of disease as a curse or the work of the gods and thought of curing disease through clinical experiments and observations, in other words, empirical science.
"Hippocrates is amazing, isn't he? He is the most skilled doctor in the country"
I'm sure he is......not many doctors can surpass the father of modern medicine. But why would someone like that be interested in honey juice?
"What does the best doctor in the country want from me?"
"I'll be frank with you. I want you to sell me the recipe for honey juice"
Eh? I've never heard of Hippocrates liking honey, but......I'm wondering and Hippocrates explains.
"Princess Sylphy's illness is an incurable illness that even doctors can't cure. We have tried all kinds of medicines, but we could not cure her. There was nothing we could do, but we have confirmed that drinking your honey juice has a slight effect on the progress of the disease"
Se, Seriously!
"Is that...true?"
"It is true. We believe that the honey juice's resistance to poisoning is what is fighting the Princess' illness"
Honey juice, amazing! Ah, maybe the reason why Lise returned in a hurry at that time was because she thought that it might be effective for the princess. I was convinced.
"So I would really like you to sell the recipe for the sake of this country"
You're talking too much about a recipe for honey juice! So Princess Henri asked me to do the same.
"We will pay you the money you deserve, of course. And we promise not to publish the recipe, so please help us"
You can't have a princess bowing to you! And it's just honey diluted with water!
"Please raise your head. I'll give you the recipe!"
"Thank you very much"
She thanked me with a big smile on her face. This girl......has completely calculated my actions. As one would expect from the princess of a country.
So, while I'm giving them the recipe, why don't I try some new honey?
Put a spoonful of Honey Bee honey in a glass, dilute it with water and it's done.
"Eh? Is that all?"
"Yes, it's done"
I'll appraise it.
Honey Bees Honey Drink: Rarity 3 Cooking Quality D
Effect: 10% fullness recovery, 1 hour disease resistance (large)
A new dish is an exaggeration. Ion. I'm just recreating a real-life dish. For now, boil water in a pot and make honey juice as before. However, I used hot water to dilute it. Now, what do you think it will be like? Here's what I ended up with!
Honey Bee's Hot Honey Drink: Rarity 3 Cooking Quality D+
Effect: 10% fullness recovery, 1 hour poison resistance (large), 1 hour disease resistance (extra large)
A juice made by diluting Honey Bee's honey with hot water. Warm, sweet and delicious. Very good for the body.
If you don't drink it within 30 minutes, it will turn into Honey Bee's honey drink.
"Poison resistance has been added and disease resistance is now extra large"
It's limited to 30 minutes, but it's the first time for the extreme large effect. Yay!
......
While I was happy, the princess and her group were once again in raptures. In the meantime, my cooking skill has improved after a long time.
