CH 53

That’s right, I’ve heard that cinnamon can help with nausea.

There was nothing at the field that looked like cinnamon though. Wait, cinnamon doesn’t grow in fields. They’re tree branches.

What kind of tree are they though? Can I figure it out by smelling the branches? Do I have to strip the wood to find out?

If we have cinnamon though, I want to make cinnamon butter toast first.

Also, apple pie!

Ah, but both recipes need sugar. Can we get butter? It’s likely I can get the milk off some animal that lives in this world. What about apples though?

If sugar is a luxury good, then… Sigh. Alright, let’s work hard so that I can have sugar many times a year.

It’s tough for me, since having no sugar means that I can’t make things for special occasions, like a birthday cake… That’s too luxurious for them, probably.

I swallowed the acidic taste that was coming up back down.

I forced myself to continue note-taking.

I  checked the notes based on everybody’s voices after the skin peeling, and added notes if it was lacking.

「Yuuri! Look, it’s amazing!」

Suddenly, my vision moved.

Wait, eh??

Rofas-san had lifted me high up off the ground.

「P-please let me down!」

Being lifted up like this at my age is not good, not good at all!

Not to mention, just how much strength does Rofas-san have?! Even if I’m small for a Japanese person and I don’t weigh that much…

My face turned red.

This is too embarrassing.

「Ah, my bad. No, um…」

Rofas-san’s face also turned red, following along.

「How nice~」

Once my feet reached ground again, Kirika-chan said.

「Ohh, then here we go, Kirika!」

Since Kirika-chan said that, Rofas-san lifted her up as well. However, not only did he lift her up quite high, he tossed her into the air.

Uwoh?!

「Kya! Hahaha!」

Kirika-chan looked like she was having fun.

「Oh, Kurtz, how about you?」

Rofas-san asked. Kurtz-kun pouted and looked away.

「I’m not that childish.」

「Ahaha, I see, okay then!」

Despite what Rofas-san said, he lifted Kurtz-kun and tossed him into the air too.

Gegeh, he tossed Kirika-chan with his right arm, Kurtz-kun with his left, high up like he was doing acrobatics.

No, he wasn’t just lifting them high up anymore… He was doing human juggling…

Not to mention, when Kirika-chan gets launched in the air, she spins around quite skillfully. She looked like a cat.

「Stop playing around, I’d like to finish up this boar.」

Bryce-kun said coldly towards Rofas-san, in the middle of his human juggling performance.

「Oh, sorry. Anyway, Yuuri, this is great. Can I make a report about this method to the guild?」

「Yes, you can.」

The high-ups Rofas-san did shocked my nausea away. Phew, I managed to get away with not puking this time.

Mhm, I’m fine. I just have to get used to it little by little, even if I’m in a hurry.

I can’t have thoughts like I can’t do it or that it’s impossible. I should not decide on where my limit is. I can do it. I’ll move forward slowly.

「Hey, it’s nice that you give permission so easily, but you won’t get any money every time it’s used, unlike the recipes.」

「That’s fine, I don’t really mind that though. Or rather, if you report it to the guild and they end up charging a usage fee, wouldn’t it be much better to not report it and just tell everybody instead?」

I tilted my head.

「Eh?」

Rofas-san said, sounding surprised.

「Well, it’ll help a lot of people, won’t it?」

「Ahh, well, hmm. Yuuri, you’re a good kid.」

He said and patted my head.

Geez, Rofas-san sees me as a child, completely. What kind of expression would he make if he finds out we are actually the same age?

Fufufu, I do want to see him look shocked someday.

「Okay, how’s this? Rofas-san, do you have a leather bag on you?」

「Hm? I do. It’s empty though, I didn’t put any water in it.」

Rofas-san handed over a leather bag hanging off of his waist to Bryce-kun. I thought it was a pouch, but there was an opening for drinking, so it was actually a bag used to hold water.

Bryce-kun placed the water magic stone and fire magic stone that were in the bucket into the leather bag.

Then, he took out something that looked like a pen and began writing on the bag.

「Activate the following when told to activate, and stop when told to cancel: the water magic stone will release water in the leather bag until it’s full. The fire magic stone will heat the water and keep it at sixty-three degrees constantly.」

The part Bryce-kun wrote on lit up dimly. Did he use a type of ink that lights up? No, that can’t be, since the light just disappeared. The leather bag looked like it didn’t have anything written on it to begin with.
