Nick Was Happy

“And how do you turn it into tea?”
“Uh…just wait one moment. …There. That should do it. It can be brewed like any other tea now.”
“That really is a useful ability… Hmm. And it smells very nice.”
“Dandeleeon tea has a distinct smell.”

With Weed Cultivation, I could dry it in an instant and turn it into powder.
Indeed, it was so useful that I sometimes relied on it too much.
Weed Cultivation had the ability to turn plants into their best state.
I suppose it turned out like this because I had been thinking about tea.
Apparently, it could also be used for medicine, but you used the whole plant, and not just the roots.

“Now, could you please deliver this to the kitchen? I made a promise with Ms. Helena.”
“Certainly. And what will you do, Mr. Takumi?”
“I will continue to grow herbs. Some for Ractos, and also more for testing. I haven’t made more since returning from the forest.”
“Indeed. Very well then.”

I wrapped up the powder in some paper and handed it to Sebastian.
Ms. Helena would make it into tea.
After Sebastian left, I started work on the herbs.
Though, my back hurt a little from all of the squatting…
If only there was some herb for that?
…Well, the ones for fatigue and sore muscles were probably enough.

“Oh, brother! It’s been a while!”
“Nick… Well, it hasn’t been that long.”
“What are you saying! You went to the dangerous forest for days… And I didn’t see you the whole time! I was looking forward to this!”
“Uh… Right. Anyway… Here are the herbs for Ractos. Give them to Mr. Kalis.”
“Aye! I will deliver them safely no matter what!”
“I mean, if you find yourself in danger, you can just drop them…”
“Nonsense! You made these precious herbs. And so I will not fail you!”
“I see… Well, thanks.”

It was hard to imagine that this was the person who had once scattered my herbs all over the ground.

“Your herbs are very popular in Ractos, and they fly off of shelves. Mr. Kalis is very grateful towards you.”
“I should be thankful to him instead… But are they really that popular?”
“Yes! After that Deam bastard was arrested, the crime rate dropped. And so people know to not go against you or Leo.”
“That seems excessive and more than just gratitude…”
“Those who have committed crime are now shaking with fear, thinking that you will eventually come to bring them justice.”

It was starting to sound like how Fen and Riruru could not go against Leo.
…Though, they hadn’t done anything bad…but still.
I didn’t really want to be viewed like that. I wasn’t a duke like Mr. Ekenhart.
I had no real authority.
All I wanted was just to live quietly and relax.
With Leo and Liza laughing…
Still, I was using this special ability at the same time that such thoughts went through my head.
