After we finished eating, we rested a little and then went out.
Incidentally, Kira had gone to the bedroom and stayed there, as told.
…That I wanted to stroke her while she slept could not be helped, and I would like to be praised for restraining myself.

At any rate, we first headed for our first destination, the dwarf settlement.

Or rather, we tried to head there.
I thought we would walk.

“Asha, you must be tired.
And we must not keep them waiting too long.”

The moment we were outside, Gerda said that, came close… and lifted me in her arms, sideways, truly as if I weighed nothing.
A so-called princess carry.

…Eh? Eh!? W-wait!?

“Wai—um, Gerda, this pose is, um, embarrassing—”
“I understand the feeling, but, well, bear with it for the sake of efficiency.”

And you show me that refreshing smile there!? Continue reading →

Now then, things had settled, and I was wondering what to do about lunch.

“Thanks as always! Ah, looks like I came at a good time.”

The one who came in all of a sudden saying that was Elma.
Yes? Yes? Why??
While I was thinking that she came stomping in.
She had some kind of basket in her hands.
…Eh, surely not??
I found myself looking at Gerda.

“Ah. You looked so busy I thought you wouldn’t have the will left to cook.
I asked Elma for a delivery.”
“I-I… see…?”

No, when?
Because after Gerda joined she had been moving around quite busily too?
Was it when she went to draw tap water!?
Or before she joined!?

Hmm, formidable… but it was also true, honestly, that it helped.
I would receive it gratefully.

“Then let’s have lunch.
Um, Elma, could you bring it over here?”
“Sure, over here.” Continue reading →

Nasti had been watching me treat for a while, but.

“Well, well. It seems the herbs will be used rather well.
Then we’ll bring more tomorrow.”

She left, saying something like a parting shot.
I had been given the minimum of recognition, I supposed.
But.

Patients did not cease after that, either.
Kira and I were turning at full speed, when it happened.

“Doctor!! This child fell in the mud and has a terrible scrape!”

A pair of women burst in suddenly, looking frantic.
One of them had indeed apparently fallen; she was a muddy mess.

…I see. With an injury like that, they come in that much of a hurry.

“I’m sorry—I’ll treat this person as urgent. Please wait a moment!!”

When I raised my voice, the people waiting nodded, looking convinced, and stayed quiet.

…I see. They accept it. I see. Continue reading →

Preparing for Enrollment

“How is it? Does it suit me?”

“”Kyaa~! So cute~!!””

A few days after the pass announcement.
This day was for buying up the tools needed for academy life.

Five women had gathered in the school store building of Romulus Academy.
Lady Ulrika and Olivia, Charlotte, Natasha.
And Queen Victoria.

Incidentally, the reason Queen Victoria was there was simply to add to the bustle.
She had run into them by chance at Romulus Castle and stuck with them as they were.

And so the five of them borrowed a room in the store building and went on with preparations.
Lady Ulrika tried on a navy blazer and spun around.

“Mm. The size is a perfect fit! I like it!!”

“It’s good, Ulrika. It suits you wonderfully!”

“Ulrika-chan is adorable. It’s lovely!”

“Is it? Thank you, Lottie, Victoria!”

“”Hauu~n””

Queen and princess, both smitten with Lady Ulrika’s cuteness.
Like mother, like daughter.

Olivia and Natasha, meanwhile, stayed still in the corner of the room.
Faced with two royals, they had completely shrunk into themselves.

“Why… why is even Her Majesty with us…”

“I-I-I’m so nervous…” Continue reading →

The Little Devil Comes Late

And then, when a new patient had come and I was examining them.

“Ye~s, excuse me a moment~… hm?”

I tilted my head at the lung sound I heard. This was, surely not.

“Oh? Is something the matter?”
“Ah, it’s all right, it will heal properly~”

I deflected with a smile the grandmother who was the patient when she asked.
But in fact, the situation was not very good.

“I’ll touch your wrist a moment.”

Hmh… the pulse is rather fast…

“Have you been eating properly?”
“Well, come to think of it, I haven’t had much appetite lately.”

There was no wheezing, no zei-zei sound, and little sputum, she said, but she got short of breath, and her chest hurt at times.

Pneumonia, probably. That the symptoms were still relatively mild was a blessing in misfortune, but if left it might progress all at once.
In older people, the symptoms of pneumonia can come on slowly and gently, and then suddenly become severe later.
And with these symptoms, I could not use the antipyretics I had on hand.
They might even make the condition progress.
In pneumonia one ought to use antimicrobials, especially antibiotics, but there were none of those.
Without X-rays or blood tests I could not even declare it pneumonia for certain…
I was still hesitating over what to do, when it happened.

“My, my. Quite the bustle. A thriving trade; I do envy you.”

A languid voice, and yet something in it pricked.
Nasti came in carrying a basket generously filled with medicinal herbs.
Dammit, she showed up, I thought, even as I answered with a polite smile.

“Ahaha~ thanks to you.”
“Well, well. So there was worth in our going about spreading the word~”

…Hm?
H-hold on? Continue reading →

A Hidden Vow

For now, I took a handful each from the shelves of the herbs most likely to be needed at once: those with analgesic effect, and those with antipyretic effect.
With this, I should be able to manage the minimum. Only the minimum, though.

And then… there was no examination room, as such. But the compounding room for making medicine was right by the door, and quite spacious.
This had surely doubled as the examination room.
Looking more closely, there was a chair for me, and facing it a chair a patient would sit in.
Besides that, perhaps it had doubled as a waiting room: some five chairs were lined along the wall.

I see, I thought.
It went without saying that you could not look at several dozen patients all at once.
But if you narrowed it to one plus five like this, you could probably manage.
It had likely never been this crowded in ordinary times, and if people were made to wait outside, those who could not stand and wait would have been brought in first.
That way, the minimum necessary prioritizing would have been done.

“So this is the power of experience, I suppose.” Continue reading →

Pass Announcement and Class Placement

A few days after the entrance exam.
Many young people had gathered on the schoolyard of Romulus Academy.
The examinees who had sat the exam.

“I did it! I passed!!”

“No way… my name isn’t there…”

“The advanced class! Look, the advanced class!!”

What was happening that day was the announcement of pass and fail, and class placement.
A large paper had been posted on the bulletin board, listing the names of those who had passed and their classes.

The examinees rose and fell with the results.
Then Lady Ulrika arrived too.

“Over there! I’m looking forward to this!!”

“Please wait, Lady Ulrika!”

Lady Ulrika pattered off; Olivia hurried after her.
Charlotte and Natasha followed slowly behind.

“Uuu… I’m so nervous…”

“You’ll be fine, Natasha. Have confidence.”

“Lottie! Sasha! Come quickly!!” Continue reading →

Calm down. At times like this you count primes and calm down.
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…
Hmm… more than twenty people, this.
A line waiting at reception first thing at a general hospital?
No, in a town of a hundred and fifty thousand, even a clinic level wouldn’t be strange.

This is wrong. How did it come to this.

“W-what do we do, Asha?”
“It’s all right, calm down, Kira. I’m thinking now. Leave it to me.”

I showed Kira a smile, even as my head was turning at full speed.
To begin with, I had hardly spread word yesterday that I was the new apothecary.
Among townspeople, Elma and Nasti were about the only ones who knew.

A workshop I had only just arrived at and did not know how to use, and, as expected, insufficient stores of herbs.
In this situation, I could not in good conscience tell people to come from tomorrow.
And yet they had come. This many, all at once. Continue reading →

Daily Life of the Demon King and the Girls

One afternoon.

Princess Charlotte and Natasha were on the inner-courtyard terrace of Romulus Castle.
The two of them sat at a tea table. Opposite sat Lady Ulrika.
With Olivia included, the four of them had a friendly air.

Then several young men and women arrived.
The young ladies and gentlemen who had been Princess Charlotte’s entourage.

“…Princess Charlotte, what is the meaning of this?”

“What, you ask…”

“Don’t play dumb! Why are you with that country girl? And about the exam… what in the world happened…”

The boy faltered.
Princess Charlotte silently rose from her chair.

“I put you all through something frightening. I’m sorry.”

Princess Charlotte bowed in apology.
The entourage froze in surprise.
Lifting her face, Princess Charlotte spotted Beppo.

“Oh, Beppo was with you too.”

“Princess Charlotte… um… about that time…”

“I haven’t told anyone what we saw and heard during the exam. I’m sorry for asking so many unreasonable things of you.”

“That’s… I can’t believe it…”

Beppo’s expression was full of distrust.
Princess Charlotte, for her part, did not let her composure break.

“Yes… yes, of course you wouldn’t believe me…” Continue reading →

“Hahii~, we drank, we ate.”

I walked the night road, lit by magic lamps, in high spirits.
Kira walking beside me, and Gerda going ahead, were each in high spirits as well.

“No, truly. You said a little, but you can hold it quite well, Asha.”
“A-ahahaha, that’s, the wine was good, so it went down easy, I’m sure.”

I answered Gerda’s teasing with something like a joke.
In fact, as wine of this world went, it had felt like they had tried quite hard.
Brewing technique was low no matter what, so there was a lot of poor stuff… it could not be helped.

Even so. Continue reading →
