Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu - Chapter 45
Chapter 45: Boisterous Man
I’ll be making potions from morning today as well.
I headed to the castle’s distillation room after I got changed.
Corinnsan, the exclusive pharmacist, started her days early in the morning. Most of the time, she would already be working in the distillation room by the time I got there.
People in this world commonly started work when the sun came up.
I was following that model but Corinnsan started work earlier than that.
I tried to start work at the same time as Corinnsan once, but she told me to come at the same time as everyone else.
She didn’t want people to see what she was working on in the mornings.
It seemed to be related to the secret recipe and she didn’t tell me in detail.
Corinnsan was already making potions when I arrived at the distillation room.
“Good morning.”
“Ah, morning. Can you prepare some Intermediate HP Potions today? The amount we need is written in the memo over there.”
“Okay.”
I did as Corinnsan said. I looked at the memo and prepared the ingredients for the Intermediate HP Potions.
The ingredients lined up on the table were a little different from the ones taught at the Research Institute.
That was because we needed to mix medicinal herbs that weren’t normally used.
Instead, the amount of ingredients used were less than usual. That was because it was Corinnsan’s secret recipe.
There were a lot of different kinds of secret recipes and she taught me that one.
I put the ingredients into a pot and began mixing, then the distillation room door opened loudly.
Some time had passed since I’ve started work, but it was still early in the morning.
I looked at the door wondering who would come here this early, and I saw a tall man, who could be described as a giant, with a scary face entering the room.
His height wasn’t the only thing that was big.
He was a bit thick.
Everyone at the 3rd Knight Order was muscular, but this man exceeded them.
He had thick muscles on his upper arms and chest.
I felt like the room got narrower because he was so wide.
He had short brown hair and sharp amber eyes.
His hair colour was similar to Director-san’s, but I felt like it was more dry and brittle.
I’d never noticed it until now, but Director-san took proper care of his hair.
Someone called out to me while I was thinking that.
“Oh? Your apprentice, granny?” He looked around the room and said when he noticed me.
