Chapter 187: Squeeze, Squeeze
Once Lady Meeka recovered her wits, she seemed to realise that her body had completely recovered too. Unable to hide her surprise at the astonishing change, she climbed out of bed.
Naturally, she was still wearing her nightclothes. Even if they were thick garments meant for late autumn, they weren't something a gentleman should stare at. She was an unmarried woman, after all. Like the gentlemen we were, all three of us promptly turned our backs.
"I-I'm sorry for showing you something so unsightly. I'll change at once, so would you mind waiting outside for a moment?"
"I'm sorry for being so thoughtless. Cain, Julius, let's go."
Brother Alex led us out of the room.
Sister-in-law Meeka had an incredible figure. Even through her nightclothes, it was obvious that everything protruded and narrowed in exactly the right places.
"Brother Cain, Sister-in-law Meeka will be all right now. She could get up immediately. The child I treated at the orphanage was soon well enough to play with everyone too."
"Your potions really are effective, Julius. I'd like a few for the next time I'm injured."
"I would too," Brother Alex said. "They don't appear to have that dreadful taste or smell."
Apparently, both my brothers were interested in my potions. For the next few days, I'd have to make some for them as well.
Oh, and Sister-in-law Meeka would need her own supply too.
"Thank you for waiting. Please, come in."
"Excuse us."
Lady Meeka invited us back into the room. I wondered whether it was proper for several men to enter a young woman's bedroom, but I couldn't very well refuse. We would be relatives in the future, so perhaps there was no need to stand on ceremony. I decided to think of it that way.
Looking around again, I saw that the room was decorated entirely in pink and white. It was very cute—until I noticed the swords displayed on the wall. Not just one, but several. They looked slightly out of place.
"Do you feel any discomfort, Sister-in-law Meeka?"
"None at all. If anything, my body feels lighter."
She answered with a smile, and she didn't seem to be lying. What a relief. When I glanced at Brother Cain, colour was gradually returning to his face as well.
Good.
"Thank you so very much. I owe everything to you, Julius."
Sister-in-law Meeka pulled me into a tight hug. My face was pressed between her ample breasts, and I froze, not knowing what to do. Even then, she kept squeezing me tighter and tighter.
She smelled wonderful. I almost found myself breathing it in.
She must have suffered terribly. More than that, she'd probably believed she was finished. Perhaps she'd refused to allow Brother Cain into the room because she'd been considering the worst possible outcome. She might have been trying to distance herself from him little by little.
After I'd enjoyed the embrace for a while, Brother Cain peeled me away with a sharp tug, as if declaring that my complimentary service time was over. His cheeks were puffed out in frustration. Since I'd also saved Lady Meeka's life, however, he couldn't complain aloud.
"You don't need to thank me. You're my future sister-in-law, after all."
I beamed at her. Only then did she seem to register what I'd been calling her, and her face turned red. I'd said Sister-in-law several times already, but apparently it hadn't sunk in. Brother Cain's face reddened along with hers.
"Julius is right," Brother Alex said. "There's no need to hold back. Now, Julius, let's withdraw before we become a nuisance to the two of them."
"Understood. Brother Cain, even though her illness has been cured, she's still recovering. Please don't make her overexert herself."
"What exactly are you implying?"
I smiled sweetly at him. Brother Alex smiled just as sweetly. Brother Cain's face twitched as we left the room.
Once we'd walked out of the women's dormitory, Brother Alex stopped.
"You did very well, Julius. I never imagined the potion would act so quickly. With that, people suffering from lung disease can be cured immediately. Does your cold medicine work in much the same way?"
"Yes, it does. The cold medicine has no side effects, though, so there's no need to follow it with an elementary healing potion."
Brother Alex nodded thoughtfully with one hand on his chin. As the former student council president, he was probably relieved that we already possessed a way to deal with the disease spreading through the academy.
"What do you intend to do with that cold medicine, Julius?"
"What do you mean? I've already instructed the Royal Magic Pharmacists' Corps to make it. When I visit the castle tomorrow, I intend to teach them how to make the potion for lung disease too—provided they have the ingredients."
I'd already asked them to gather venomous moth scale powder, so it should be all right. With their skill, they wouldn't have any trouble. Or had teaching them a new potion recipe been a mistake? No one had told me it was forbidden.
"Your medicine may end up saving this entire kingdom," Brother Alex said.
"Surely not. Do you… Do you think this epidemic could spread throughout the country?"
"I think it's possible. And if it does, a certain number of people will develop lung disease after catching the cold."
Ah. That wasn't good.
Cold medicine already existed, and ordinary shops probably sold it—provided people were willing to swallow the revolting stuff. But there was no known potion for lung disease yet. In a sense, I'd developed it myself.
Naturally, I intended to insist that Grandmother had taught me the recipe.
"In that case, perhaps we should ask the Adventurers' Guild to help secure the ingredients."
"What exactly do you need?"
"I've already asked the Royal Magic Pharmacists' Corps to gather venomous moth scale powder. The treatment also needs to be paired with an elementary healing potion. It isn't absolutely essential, but without one, recovery will be much slower. It could take two or three months for the patient to return completely to health."
Brother Alex and I looked at each other. Both our expressions were probably quite grave.
At that very moment, Brother Cain was likely wearing the most foolishly relaxed expression imaginable.
I wanted to be on that side too.
"Understood," Brother Alex said. "I'll contact the Adventurers' Guild myself."
