CH 24

Sandra gave me a warning to be careful about the usage of the magic measurement, especially about information leaks, but she immediately understood its usefulness.

Then, the two of us immediately set to work making powders and pills for magic restorative potions.

"We still only have the moonlight grass, so we can't aim for a synergistic effect. For the time being, we eat the moonlight herb raw. Dried and powdered. Boil it and eat it. Let's try each of these in turn to find the most effective method."

"I understand ....... Let's try it."

Moonlight grass has a strong taste and is not something that can be eaten normally.

However, I was determined to do it for my mother's sake, so I set to work on the test.

The results of that day's experiment were as follows

Eating raw moonlight grass: Effect of restoring magic power = 20

(Eating it raw is too strong and harsh. But it' s possible if one tries hard enough. I definitely don't need a second bowl.)

Boil and eat. Effect of recovering magic power = +10-30

(Impossible, . The smell of the boiled grass is the worst part of the experience. Also, one has to drink the liquid in which the nutrients of the grass are dissolved. If the juice is not drank up, the result will be less effective.)

Dried and powdered. Effect of restoring magic power = 50

(It was the easiest to drink and most effective. The powder is fine if to drink it all at once with water. But when it spreads in the mouth, it might be harder than eating it raw. It might have something to do with the way Sandra drinks it, so that drink it right away and roll it around in mouth. you must have been blue when she told me.)

'Yes, for now, it seems that if I make it into a powder and then into a pill, even

your mother will be fine. Thanks for your help. Rid."

"...... Sandra-sensei, I won't forget your kindness and resentment for this. ......"

Sandra had a twinkle in her eye every time I took the pills.

, "how does it taste?　　I put my love into it, remember? And he was having so much fun being so silly.

I, on the other hand, was so pale with disgust at the taste that I could not react to it.

If it were to be made into a drink or something with this flavor, it would not help me because it would reduce my strength and motivation at the same time as it restored my magic power.

I would definitely instruct, or rather order, them to focus on the taste.

I promised myself to do so.

"Oh, if you insist like that, I won't tell you.”

"What is it that you won't tell me? ...."

In the end, Sandra didn't tell me anything.

She smiled quite happily, saying, " You will find out today or tomorrow, anyway."

I have a bad feeling about this.

But I didn't have the energy to say anything .

Sandra smiled wickedly at me and gave me a hint.

, "Hmmm...yes. I think you will understand if you talk to . Meldi . Please talk to

her once.”

"What?　Mel?　Even though she is not here?"

"Yes. I think Meldi will understand best."

What Mel know that I didn't ?

While I was thinking about this, Sandra said, "Well, I guess I'll take my leave for today," and left.

What was that all about?

With this in mind, I moved from the training grounds to the mansion, and I happened to meet Mel at the doorway.

"Mel, I'm home," and gave her a hug as usual.

"welcome back~......!"

"Hmm?"

Mel stopped moving with a "pitter-patter" as she ran up to me.

Mel?" I approached her fearfully, calling her name, and she backed away.

Tears pooled around Mel's eyes and ran down her cheeks.

Her cute face was twisted .

Just as I was about to get say something , Mel shouted so loudly that it echoed throughout the house,

"Brother , you stink! This stinky s not Mel's brother !"

"No  way ."

Mel screamed so loudly that it echoed throughout the house, "Ni-chan, you stink!”

Danae, the maid, chuckles, bows to me and follows Mel.

I was a little stunned to see that, and then I looked around and noticed that all the maids were laughing at me from a distance.

Then Garrn, who was holding his mouth with a handkerchief, came over to me.

"I'm very sorry, Master Rid , but that scent is a little too strong. I think it would be better for you to take a bath outside the house first. After that, I will prepare a dinner for you."

“I'll go ...... and take a bath. and prepare a it for me right away."

While bathing outside the mansion, I shouted in anger even though I was outside the mansion.

"Sandraaaaaaaaa"
