"I'm really sorry"
"Please don't worry"
I smiled at the Eigel family who lowered their heads.
After Pia, Georg and Mikhail began to introduce themselves with more words, "By the way, who are you?" After all, I was given less than twenty minutes after entering the room.
I noticed me standing near the entrance and everyone apologized to me.
I am not angry. I was envious that the boys could get along soon.
More important than that is the “drug” that Julius said.
Georg immediately talked to me who cut out immediately.
Says. It was a coincidence that a merchant working under Julius got it.
While he was staying in the port city of Nebel, the sailor staying at the same inn became hot.
But when I first heard the story, it was not unusual for the merchant to be interested. Long voyages continue to weaken the health and often get sick. If this time is winter, you probably have a cold.
They will recover in a few days anyway.
The merchant's expectation was half hit and half off.
The next day, the fever fell assassinated, and the sailor, who appeared to have recovered, reheated the next day.
The doctor has little effect if he drinks heat, and the sailor visibly weakens.
I realize that it's not just a cold at all, but doctors don't know what to do with the symptoms they see for the first time. As the pessimistic mood began to drift, the helping hand was stretched out from unexpected places.
A foreign sailor who accidentally arrived at the port to avoid the storm heard the story and delivered the medicine. If you remember the symptoms.
Then he left the doctor with seven days' worth of spare medicine and told his precautions that he had sailed at the same time as the storm stopped.
Doctors and companions desperately sick, following the words given by foreign sailors.
As a result, the fever fell, and the disease was cured.
This must be a great medicine. Julius's subordinates seemed to have the remaining medicine sold.
But here is the problem.
As Georg mentioned, the raw materials, production methods, and production locations are unknown. Although the real thing is at hand, there is no technology that can perform component analysis unlike modern Japan.
If a foreign ship, which is a clue, can find out which ship it is by following the record of port entry, it is very difficult to find individuals.
Even if you do, it takes more time to get in touch. What's more, the doctor says, the sailor himself had given medicine from another person.
Happo blockade is exactly this.
"It's an interesting product ... but there's too little information. You can't spend a lot of money on things that don't even make sense as a product."
"Oh, that's why I'm being plucked like this."
Julius smiled bitterly at Georg's words exhaled with a sigh.
"I don't believe in your connoisseur, but I don't think it's a good thing to do right now. There are too many worries to deal with while expanding your business."
Georg's case was plausible. Spending money on things that have little clue and don't know if they will be a product, even if found, is a big risk.
I couldn't give up, even though I knew it.
Something in my chest is awful. There is no word to return if it is said to be a game brain, but I feel that the choice is right in front of you.
The future changes depending on whether you look for it or give up. I felt comfortable standing at the fork.
"... is it good for my hands?"
"here you go"
After obtaining permission, I reach for the medicine package placed on the table. Even if you look at a black pill up close, you have no idea what it is made of.
Fan by hand and sniff, but thin. It is almost odorless compared to Chinese medicine. It smelled a little like soil or plants. All I know is that.
I myself have many opportunities to deal with medicinal herbs. I don't know at all.
I'm sorry for my low specifications. I'm learning a lot and I'm going to be able to do a lot of things, but in my case I'm not out of dexterity.
I almost sighed.
"...?"
When you feel your gaze and look there, for some reason Mikhail is curiously looking into the medicine.
"Would you like to see it?"
When he asks, he nods with a click.
After giving the medicine, I moved my eyes from Mikhail to Georg.
"Julius, Georg"
"Yes"
"what do you want"
Looking at them, I once hesitated to speak.
I was about to start saying, "I stopped." Do not ask your acquaintances. Business. Assumptions make no sense.
One blink. He breathed deeply and opened his mouth again.
"Can you sell this medicine?"
“…………”
Georg was lightly astounded, but Julius did not change her expression.
"There are mages and pharmacists in the castle. They are more knowledgeable than me, so I'd like to see the real thing for advice. Of course, I will also check the port entry records."
"When you look up?"
"Yes"
If I checked and found any clues, I asked if I could negotiate again. However, such a transaction with many uncertainties cannot be called a transaction.
It just becomes selfish.
"Can I ask you why?"
That question is Georg.
The eyes of the highly transparent purple crystal gaze at me.
"Our country will have diplomatic relations with many countries, especially in the port, where ships from distant countries will enter. And in some situations, the likelihood of transmission is not zero. "
According to Georg, the sailor was sick in winter.
I don't know the route of transmission, but if the vector was transmitted, the vector insects and animals may have been dormant, so they may not have passed on to others. I couldn't abandon the possibility that I was just lucky.
"Some illnesses can't be cured with medicines in Japan, and depending on my efforts, they may be cured. That's the only reason."
"Mary ..."
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not blaming you. It's stupid that if you have the power and the money, you should throw everything to save your life. No. Charity and business are separate, and there's something to protect, so don't be ashamed. "
A pandemic cannot be prevented with my knowledge and skills.
In a world without modern facilities, which is difficult even with modern medicine, there is no way for me to be a mere little girl.
But Rosemary, a princess, is different. There is power even without medical knowledge.
"But I'm a princess. I want to do everything I can to protect the people and their lives."
“…………”
Silence lasts a few seconds.
Georg, who exhaled for a long time, looks at Julius next door.
"Understood"
On the other hand, Julius smiled and nodded with some vivid eyes.
"There are three reserves of medicine. Please bring one."
"!……Ah,"
"I'm sorry for the other two. We will start the investigation here, so we need the real thing."
"…………e?"
Thank you, I began to open my mouth and froze on the way.
Being stunned without being able to follow the rapid development.
What did you say now?
"Is it okay to ask for a port entry record? It is probably faster for you to investigate than wait for us to submit your application and be accepted. Will inherit it. "
"Ha ..."
"Aside from the pharmacist, I really don't know any mages, so could you tell me the story of a mage at the castle? I guess it wasn't there. ''
"Yeah, yeah. There are no mages with earth attributes."
"Then the mage in the country will be myself. My magical power is at least higher than that of mages of other attributes, as is my knowledge of plants."
The story goes on and on while I'm confused.
-For some reason, the two members of the Eigel family are starting to investigate drugs, but why? I just didn't listen? Did you sleep with your eyes open? ? ... No, no, it's such an idiot.
"If there is any progress, let me know ..."
"Oh, that!"
"Yes?"
I block out Julius's words.
"... Do you two help?"
"Yes"
Ask while hesitating. If he misunderstood, the question he was asking was rather embarrassing and was immediately affirmed.
I open my eyes and am amazed.
"…………why"
It is said that there is something to be done and will support you, so even if you try to tell yourself that you should be pleased with honesty, the puzzle will not disappear.
A lost voice suddenly leaked.
Looking at me, probably with a sad face, Julius smiled bitterly.
With an ambiguous expression that makes it difficult to judge whether you are having trouble or having fun.
However, I do not feel bad intentions. The narrowed eyes were so gentle.
"The reason is simple. You are our ... no, the benefactor of the Marquis Eigel."
"benefactor?"
"If you weren't at home, your sister-in-law would still be lying in bed."
"It's not ... my own power. On the contrary, my power is tiny. It's the result of your efforts and your aunt."
I am scared at the word of my benefactor.
It's not such a big deal. I couldn't do anything alone. Julius shakes her head.
Next, I looked far into the past.
"No. Unless you ... I couldn't do it unless you were Princess Rosemary."
I was called again, Princess Highness, and I was lightly dazzling.
"My brother loves his sister-in-law so deeply that he couldn't be tough. Even if it wasn't good for her to stay closed, she would repel herself because it was cold outside, and she would eat nutritious food and medicine. Even if I bring it, if my sister-in-law refuses, I will give up drinking.
Well, Julius bitterly said, "It's not a tasty thing, so it's natural to hate it."
I heard his words and I was convinced that it was.
Health methods that I came up with are not so rare, except for cooking recipes. I didn't come up with it, I couldn't do it.
A partner whose position cannot be refused by her and who is willing to Emma who likes children. I was the perfect person.
"Someone gave up thinking about changing the situation, but when I asked you to improve my sister-in-law, I thanked God for the first time that a miracle had happened."
"As expected, miracles are exaggerated ..."
"It's not an exaggeration. It's a miracle that you, smaller than your nephew, can be as intelligent as you are. We went and worried and shared the joy. Do you see how rare it is? "
Julius speaks intently.
Unusually uplifting, the tone of the voice speaks, and the cheeks are a little reddish. Eyes shine shiningly, like a boy.
I noticed that I was a little under pressure, rude, and coughed.
Georg, who was listening silently, opened his mouth with a bitter smile at his uncle.
"Because you have made my mother healthy, my father and my uncle can work, and I can learn a lot in this way. I fear that my mother might be lost tomorrow, It's definitely you who showed me and turned me forward. ''
It was a gentle smile.
There is no distortion or insanity like in the game. I'm finally feeling a gentle smile that is soft, warm, and laughing like this.
The future has been changed. One tragedy was avoided.
"His Highness Princess Rosemary. Thanks again and thank you for saving our precious family."
"Now let us help you."
Then they bowed deeply at me.
