Having finished the talks and arrangements with Nora, I was scooped up by Gerda again and we went in one hop.
…Yes, I mean we literally flew!?
At any rate, this time to the opposite end of town.

We came down at a place where a large brick building stood, and beyond it a vast vineyard spread.
A wonderful smell had been coming even before we landed, so I understood very well.
This was a wine brewery.
By the season they should not be making wine now, but they apparently distilled liquor regularly, and it might have been that scent.

“…I rather feel like buying a souvenir.”
“I won’t deny that. Let’s finish what we came to do first.”
“Yes. If we don’t… I’ll want a drink even more.”
“Say, Asha. You really do make a lot of drinker’s remarks.”

I answered Gerda’s pointing-out with a smile and silence.
That she let it go with only a shrug made me think she was truly an adult.
Well, I’m the childish one!

At any rate, Gerda showed me toward the brewery.
After walking a while we soon reached a smaller house that seemed to be used as a residence. Continue reading →

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 →

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 →

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 →

“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 →

A Pleasant Supper

“Here, our proud seafood stew. Eat plenty!”

So saying, Elma brought a plate steaming hot.
It was supposed to be a single tasting portion, but it looked like quite a lot?
That question blew away the moment the plate was set in front of me.

“Whoa, it looks delicious!”

I could not help raising my voice.
A tidal scent, softly tickling the nose.
Perhaps it was scented with white wine and herbs; it gave off a very appetizing smell, without any fishiness.

And more than anything, the quantity and freshness of the ingredients!
As expected of a port town; they were probably using seafood just taken.
The mussels were plump to bursting, and the chunks of fish were springy.
The vegetables in with them were a little limp, perhaps from being stewed quite a while.
But that was the doneness I liked, so there was no problem.

Was this something like a bouillabaisse?
I was fairly sure I had seen that before tomatoes were brought in, it had been like this.
In any case.

“This is white wine… it will absolutely go.”
“Hoh? You know your stuff, Asha.” Continue reading →

I had wrapped things in meaningful smoke, but the discussion of what to do from tomorrow on finished without a hitch.
The three of us went out together to Elma’s shop.

“They were kind to us at midday, and the sandwich was really good.”
“Not only the sandwiches. The other cooking is good there too.”
“Is… that so…? I’m looking forward to it.”

Kira answered Gerda’s and my words with a shy smile.
Damn, this girl is cute at every turn!
No, no, restrain, restrain.

To be honest, I was considerably carried away.
In today’s events alone I had had meetings good enough to think my life had taken a dramatic turn.
And the outlook from here on was by no means dark.

Well, they also say good fortune brings many demons, so I could not let my guard down.
But I wanted to be allowed this much, at least, while we ate tonight.

After all.

“Ah, leave the bill to me. I earn a fair amount, despite how I look.”
“No, ‘despite how you look’… Gerda, however you look at it you’re a high-ranking knight, like an aide to the Demon King, right?”

A generously openhanded, handsome-type, refreshing grown-up beauty, without a hint of spite.

“It’s been a while since I went to eat with someone like this…”
“It’s fine, Kira, eat plenty! You can even eat my share! Elma will put it on a tab!”

And a puppy-type pretty girl who stirred up the urge to protect, going to eat with us.
There was no way my spirits would not rise.
Whether Elma would actually put it on a tab, I did not know.
I wondered idly if they could send the bill around to the Demon King’s castle, and other useless things.
Well, I was not much of an eater.
Kira probably wasn’t either. …What about Gerda? Continue reading →
