No insect bite marks on the leaves. No strange color on the stems either, no bugs on them, and no signs of wilting. ...... Yeah, no problems today either."

　Mya checks out the herb garden created behind the medicine man's residence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the herb garden, there are many plants used for medicine, and every day Miya, her apprentice, checks each herb to make sure there are no problems.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the medicinal herbs are bitten by insects or wither due to disease, they are naturally useless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Miya checks every day to prevent such problems from occurring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is one of the tasks of the apothecary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After checking, she picks medicinal herbs into a basket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When she has secured the necessary amount, she returns to the apothecary's workshop and residence - the old apothecary woman whom Mya apprenticed herself to.

She returns to the old woman's house where Mya apprenticed with her. Everything is fine. I also picked some herbs for the ointment we are going to make today. Please check them.

Thank you for your hard work, Mya. Let's see. ......"

　A woman with a hood over her head and the appearance of an "old witch" receives a basket from Miya and checks the medicinal herbs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This old woman is the village apothecary whom Mya studies under.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No problem. Then let's start making the ointment. Mya, can you get me some water?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I'll get ready!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Miya responds cheerfully to the instructions and takes the tub and places it on the table.

　Other items necessary for making ointments, such as mortars, pestles, and chemicals, are also lined up on the table.

　She picks up the wand that was propped up on the table and focuses her attention.

"-Magic, manifest and form water, waterball!"

　A mass of water appears in the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The mass of water moves slowly and settles into a vat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In an instant, the tub is filled with water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is basic water magic, but if you can use it, you will never have trouble finding water in dungeons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there are wells in villages and other places, and there is no need to create water from magic in normal life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So why go to the trouble of creating water with magical power?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thanks to the water Miya-chan makes, the medicine is much more effective, and I really appreciate it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Glad to be of service!　I just served water, though.

　Mya smiles shyly.

　The old woman's granddaughter is studying abroad in the Principality of Six for her pharmacy studies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a letter from her granddaughter, she wrote that according to the latest research paper in the Principality of Six, "potions and medicines are more effective when made with water produced by magic power than with ordinary water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to the contents of the letter, when Miya actually produced the medicine with the water produced by magic - the effect was really higher.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to this, she was able to sell them at a higher price than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Currently, Miya is working hard on her pharmacology studies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason for her efforts, of course, is to "make medicine to heal Dirk's burn scars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As she had declared to Dirk, she also found time to study as a magician.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old woman's eyes narrowed dazzledly at her earnest attitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is a good and earnest girl, Miya-chan. Then let's get on with making it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I'm learning a lot today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She cheerfully replies, helping the old woman and Mya herself to actually make the medicine - this time an ointment to heal the wound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was very funny to see the old woman and Mya making medicine side by side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--The peaceful, smiling atmosphere was broken by a sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A knocking on the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Miya stands up and asks through the door, just in case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!　Who is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Mya, it's me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Erio, is that your brother?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this hour, my brother is working in the fields.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no reason for him to come to the apothecary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mya anticipated that 'someone might have been injured and needed medicine urgently,' and rushed to open the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When she opened the door, she found her brother Erio standing there, looking the same as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From his mood and expression, the old woman and Mya immediately realize that it is not an emergency.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "I'm sorry to ask ...... on such short notice. I just came to say hello to you because the usual peddler came to the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am so glad you're here already. A little earlier than usual this month."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are no stores in the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they had to either buy from a peddler when he visited once a month or go to town by themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because the peddlers also traveled by horse-drawn wagon, they did not always arrive at the exact date and time each month due to accidents, rain and other disasters, monster attacks, and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only "once a month" in the sense of "approximately once a month.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This time, however, it was earlier than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you for coming to let me know, big brother," he said. Can I ask you to help me with my luggage so I can take my medicine?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't care. That's what I'm here for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This time when the peddlers come, it is not only a chance to buy goods, but also a chance to sell products made by the villagers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the case of Mya and her family, they wholesale surplus medicines to the peddlers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to the water that Miya created with her magic, the potions are more potent and slightly more expensive, but they are well received.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The products were always purchased by the merchants when they stopped by the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Big brother, please take care of this box for me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roger that. Roger that. ...... Yay!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. Thanks for everything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An old woman calls out to Elio, who is holding a box of medicines.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He responded with a smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, my sister is in such great need of your help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the past, a merchant used to show up in person to receive medicines for an old woman with a limp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, Mya or Erio helped her to carry them to the merchant's place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old woman's eyes narrowed again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mya is a good girl, and so is Erio.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Haha, thank you. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Erio smiles subtly when Mya is called "chan," but even he is addressed as "chan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since it would have been awkward to go out of his way to deny it, he could only laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mya called out to her brother and urged him to hurry up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Erio, let's hurry up and go. Doctor, I'll go to the pharmacy to wholesale the medicine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please do. We are continuing to make medicines over here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After addressing the old woman, the siblings headed for the center of the village, where the peddler was waiting for them, conversing with her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A familiar carriage was parked in the central square of the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a wagon with one horse, and it was old enough to be used for a long time. Another carriage followed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The back of the wagon was loaded with salt, cloth, ironware, nails, plates, preserved food, and other items that are hard to find in the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, the villagers, hungry for entertainment, would crowd together to purchase and view the goods. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We're finally in the village!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hi-yah!"　There's a well, water!　You can drink water without restraint!　Hi-yah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not just water!　We're going to have plenty of booze and hot food!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Looks like I'll have a decent bed to sleep in tonight!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Heh heh heh ...... looking forward to tonight!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The familiar merchants are flanked by a group of very bad adventurers, armed with unfamiliar mohawks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The villagers could only watch from a distance, unable to get close to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Erio and Mya, too, were caught off guard by this unexpected sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, brother, what are those people?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know either. I just heard from someone that a peddler was here, so I went to call him, but I didn't see him directly. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The siblings were unable to keep up with the situation and, like the villagers, could only watch from a distance.
