Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu - Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Exclusive Pharmacist
The next morning.
I had breakfast with the Klaussner family in a smaller dining room than yesterday.
I confirmed my seat with Klaussner-sama and it was decided that I would meet the exclusive pharmacist immediately after breakfast.
Pharmacist-san worked full-time at the castle in a room called the distillation room.
The potions used at the castle were made in this distillation room.
I walked through the corridor guided by Klaussner-sama.
The distillation room was on the first floor.
Klaussner-sama knocked on the door when we arrived at our destination and it opened.
I went inside and the room had a faint smell of medicinal herbs.
There were several shelves fitted to the walls of the distillation room and the room was narrow. There were jars filled with medicinal herbs and tools for making potions on the shelves.
There was a table in the middle and there were tools laying on top of it.
There was another room at the back of the distillation room and I could see the entrance.
There were a few people in the room and they were all working.
Everyone noticed that Klaussner-sama had entered the room and nodded in greeting. Their hands never stopped working.
Klaussner-sama didn’t say anything either so this seemed to be their normal greeting.
I tilted my head as if asking where is the person I want to meet, and Klaussner-sama turned towards the back and called out, “Corinna.”
“Oh my, isn’t it the Master. Something the matter?” A white haired old lady came out of the back room while answering Klaussner-sama.
Her back was slightly slouched and she was shorter than the head maid.
Because of that, while she wasn’t fat per se, she did give off the impression of being tiny and round.
But contrary to her impression, she was hale and hearty and felt like she would be strict to those who work for her.
“This is theSaintfrom the Royal Palace, Takanashi-sama.”
“My name is Sei Takanashi.”
“How polite, I am the pharmacist of this castle, Corinna.”
It couldn’t be helped that I had mixed feelings about being introduced as theSaint.
My feelings showed up on my face and I smiled awkwardly.
