"Suspension?"

"Well, I'm glad to hear that."

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

　A few hours later, she turned pale.

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

However, unlike the previous visit, Jeanne's condition did not improve at all.

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

She remained pale for a long time.

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

　Eve and I nurse her for a while, but Jeanne's symptoms do not seem to be motion sickness.

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

　Eve, who is a database in a maid's uniform, describes Jeanne's symptoms.

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

"Maybe she has food poisoning."

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

"That's possible. Jeanne, what did you eat this morning?

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

"...... with the Demon King."

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

　she says breathlessly.

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

　I remember we had breakfast together this morning.

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

"Then you don't have a food poisoning, do you?

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

　I was feeling quite well.

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

　Jeanne continues.

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

"...... and some dried potatoes, some dried meat, and some cream puffs I had in the pantry."

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

"Oh, come on, you ate too much!"

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

"I'm hungry ......."

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

　Jeanne defended herself, but Yves looked at her with a disgusted look on his face and said, "I'm getting rid of those cream puffs.

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

The cream puffs were supposed to be thrown away. Didn't they smell stale?"

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

"I did ....... I thought it was cheese flavor."

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

"I see, so you ate damaged cream puffs. That would be a recipe for food poisoning.

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

　I'm stunned, but I'm not sure.

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

　Should I send Jeanne back to the castle or wait for her to recover?

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

　I can go back to the castle soon since I just left, but I'm still worried about her even if I send her back to the castle.

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

　Besides, I don't know how long the merchant will stay at Sabnak Castle.

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

　So I decided to treat Jeanne right here and now.

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

　I take off my cloak and tell Eve to take care of Jeanne right here.

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

Where is the master going?

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

"There's a lake around here, isn't there?"

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

There was a lake here. We used it as a rendezvous point when we took down the sub-nukes.

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

"There must have been a fish there with a floating bag that could cure food poisoning. We'll catch them and use them as medicine."

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

I see. You're the master. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could catch some trout for dinner.

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

"I'll think about it."

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

　Jeanne heard that,

"Not only trout, eels are delicious too. ......

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

　she said with a greedy smile at this point in time.

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