I knocked on the door and entered after I received permission from within.
When I entered the room pushing a food cart with a pot of tea, a couple of cups and food, Director smiled wryly as he looked at his desk.
“You’ve brought a lot of things with you.”
“I thought we’ll be talking for a while.”
“Do you have that much to talk about…?”
He sunk his head down, and I could only smile wryly in return.
He had heard a little about it from Captain-san, but he didn’t think I would have that much to say.
He probably thought that the longer we talked, the more work would be piled up on his desk.
And he was probably correct.
I’m sorry.
I came to Director’s office today to report on what had happened at Klaussner, where we successfully purified the black swamp.
Apparently, Captain-san had already reported the matter of the black swamp.
At that time, Captain-san told Director that I had more to add, so Director called me to his office.
Director moved from his desk to the sofa when I poured tea and put it on the table.
His eyes softened when he saw the pound cake which was made by the chefs.
It wasn’t much, but it was enough for a snack before lunch.
I finished placing everything onto the table and sat down facing Director.
“So? How much do you have to tell me?” He immediately started the conversation.
“Let’s see…”
Come to think of it, I have lots to say.
Despite the measures I took, I still cooked for the Feudal Lord and made potions.
And then I also have to tell him about the potion recipe I’d learn at the distillation room and about medicinal herbs that need blessing to grow.
Director’s face started twitching when I thought about the things I had to talk about while counting with my fingers.
“Hey…”
“Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Is it better for me to start from the bad?”
Director looked down in disappointment when I asked him which one I should start with.
“So, you also have something bad to report?”
“Did Hawk-sama not tell you anything?”
“He told me that you had something to tell me…”
I thought that he would know a little about everything, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
Sorry, I thought as I started with the bad news.
“Mm… Director?”
“Is that all?”
“Yes. That was all for the bad news…”
I’ve reported everything that I thought was bad.
I looked at Director, who looked completely exhausted after hearing my report, and I started to feel guilty.
Even more so, since Director had to clean up my mess.
I sipped my tea while looking at Director, who had his head down and was greatly troubled, and then I heard something.
He was speaking very quietly so I couldn’t make out what he was saying.
“Director?”
“You learned to make new food?”
“Yes…”
“Can you make it here too?”
“Yes. If I have the ingredients,” When I answered his question, he raised his face and stared at me.
Oh, you want me to make some? Ok.
The ingredients aren’t rare so I can make it right away.
I’ll teach the chefs how to make it after and they can prepare it.
I nodded, and Director smiled wryly again before sitting up.
“So now you’re going to tell me the good news?”
“Mm, maybe?”
I smiled awkwardly and seemed shocked.
I think it’s okay.
Since the only thing left is about medicinal herbs.
After that, I talked about what I learnt at Klaussner, when I told the director about the medicinal herbs that need blessing to grow, excitement showed on his face.
He is a member of the research institute, after all.
So he’s also interested in medicinal herbs and potions.
“As expected from the sacred place for pharmacists.”
“Yes. I learnt a lot from there.”
“It’s also interesting to hear that some herbs need a unique condition to be cultivated.”
“It is. I’d discovered this by accident…”
“It would be a problem if the Klaussner pharmacists found out about this, but you kept it a secret, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then that’s fine. I’ll have the Royal Palace send a letter to Klaussner’s feudal lord to tell him to keep it quiet.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Well, it’s fine.”
I lowered my head and heard Director sigh.
I couldn’t tell him the truth, so I apologised to him again in my mind.
It was decided that I was the one who found a way to cultivate the medicinal herbs which required blessing while I was in Klaussner.
When I asked Corinna-san for permission to grow the herbs at the research institute, she suggested this idea to me.
This was something that Feudal Lord-sama and Corinna-san couldn’t make public, so it didn’t matter who discovered it.
They were grateful that they were able to grow herbs which they couldn’t grow anymore.
I feel awful towards the person who had actually discovered this cultivation method, but I couldn’t help myself when I thought about the herbs that I would be able to grow in the research institute.
I’m really sorry, 【Pharmacist-sama】.
“I have a lot to do, but I also have things to look forward to.”
“I’m sorry, but could you help me grow the herbs?”
“Of course.”
Director cheerfully accepted when I asked for his help.
Apparently, he likes to cultivate herbs.
After I’d finished my report, we talked about what we will do from now on.
