　I felt the glances from the students in front of me, Gail and her brother Albert were staring at me, Liz was looking at me quizzically, Curtis and Duke were looking at me with happy faces, and Jill was listening to John's lecture intently with a twinkle in her eye... .......

"Okay, who here understands this problem?"

　Mr. John said to all the students.

　A few hands went up here and there. Of course, Liz raised her hand, too. You're serious, aren't you?

"Yes."

"Oh. You are ......"

"This is Jill."

　I heard a few voices here and there.

　They think we can't hear them, but we can ...... hear them loud and clear.

　But Jill doesn't care about that at all and just looks at Mr. John.

"Okay, Jill. What herbs do you think will cure the spotting?"

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

　Spotted blotch is a disease that causes green spots to appear all over the body and leads to death.

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

　As I recall, the cause of the disease is unknown. And now, the herbs that Dr. John is talking about are very useful.

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

　An herb that is rarely found. Almost no one knows the name of this herb.

"Maddy."

Jill said in a calm voice.

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

Maddy is a flower that is said to bloom on high cliffs, and only a few are harvested per year. And the country with the highest incidence of the spot disease is Laval. So there is a strong possibility that the cause of the spot disease is in the Laval country."

　Jill speaks plainly, her gray eyes glowing.

　Everyone in this classroom is frozen with their eyes fixed on Jill.

　Even Mr. John's eyes widened, as if he had not expected such an answer.

　He was probably surprised that the boy who answered was an eleven-year-old boy.

　When did he get so smart?

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

"Yes, that's right. They think that the Laval country is the cause of the spotted plant disease. Nice work."

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

　Dr. John laughed softly.

"The longest river in the world, the Daegon River, flows through Laval, and it is said to be the dirtiest river in the world. I believe that a fungus specific to the Deygon River is the cause of the spot disease."

　Mr. John began to talk to all the students.

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

　Maybe Mr. John had taught them about the spot disease and the herbs that cure it, but he had not told them anything about the possible causes of the disease.
