Chapter 476: Emily-san and John-san
The audience with His Majesty the King had ended. It seemed that preparations to begin making the magic potion would be made immediately.
Officially, it was under the name of “magic potion Technical Guidance from the Spencer Kingdom,” and we were formally invited to the Raven Kingdom by the state.
It looked like we no longer needed to sneak around the royal castle. From now on, we would be moving from the royal family’s private quarters to the main royal castle.
To be honest, I was relieved. Even if my sister-in-law was royalty, sharing space with the royal family of another country was mentally exhausting.
Our relocation was carried out as quickly as possible and completed that very day. Now, we were also closer to Nero, Lionel, and the others.
“Julius-sama, it seems you’re going to be busy from now on.”
“That’s right. Things have gone in a completely different direction from what I expected when we left the Heine’s estate territory. But I think this deepening of ties with the Raven Kingdom won’t be for nothing. It looks like we’ll be staying longer than planned, though.”
“Wouldn’t it be a good idea to send letters to Rosalia-sama and Mira-sama?”
“Good idea. We talk every day, but maybe I should write a letter to Fabienne, too.”
As soon as I said that, Nero brought me some stationery. I decided to write a love letter to Fabienne. I had never written one before, but now I could ask Alex-niisan and Sister-in-law Daniela. This was a chance.
Still, isn’t this room a little too luxurious? Not only is it spacious, but it even has a chandelier and a private bathtub. The furnishings sparkle, and the blue carpet on the floor is fluffy.
This is definitely the kind of room meant for important people from other countries, right? Ah, come to think of it, we are important people from another country.
That day ended with me writing the love letter. I didn’t think it would be so difficult. No wonder I hadn’t written one before. My brother, who used to write them almost every day, truly was amazing.
The next morning, right after breakfast, someone came to pick us up. Apparently, preparations had been made while we were relaxing yesterday.
Not only me, but also Alex-niisan, Sister-in-law Daniela, Nero, and Lionel went with me to the alchemy room. They were my designated guardians, so to speak.
Sophia-sama guided us to the alchemy room.
“This is the alchemy room in the royal castle.”
“Looks like no one’s here. Is it alright to enter?”
“Of course. Two magic potion makers will be arriving shortly. They are both highly skilled and trustworthy individuals. They specialize in preparing the magic potions that go into our mouths.”
Exclusive royal magic potion makers, huh? That should be trustworthy. I’ll teach them how to make the antidote, and then they can pass it on to the other magic potion makers. That way, my name won’t come up.
Just as Sophia-sama said, the magic potion makers arrived quickly. Their names were Emily-san and John-san. After brief introductions, I immediately began teaching them how to make the antidote.
“Julius, is it alright for us to watch from here?”
“It’s fine. There won’t be any bad smells or eye irritation.”
“I-Is that so? Then I guess it’s fine…”
Apparently, Alex-niisan once observed our grandmother, a high-level magical pharmacist, making magic potion. It probably brought back memories. And now both Sister-in-law Daniela and Sophia-sama were present. He probably thought this situation could go bad.
When they heard my explanation, the two magic potion makers looked utterly stunned. Well, that’s understandable for people who knew nothing. This confirmed that the Raven Kingdom was still making foul-tasting magic potion. I might need to teach them how to make basic and intermediate recovery potions as well. I think that’ll be useful going forward.
The magic potion-making process went smoothly. Both Emily-san and John-san were extremely skilled and mastered the method after just one try. As expected from royal court magic potion makers—no surprise there.
The two of them stared blankly at the antidote they had just made.
“This is the antidote? It looks like something completely different…”
“It really does look different. Teacher, may we try drinking the antidote?”
“Uh… it looks like there are still enough ingredients, so shall we try it?”
“Yes, please!”
Saying that, the two of them split one antidote and began drinking it. And before I knew it, they had started calling me “Teacher.” Looks like I’ve gained more followers again.
It seemed they realized the difference with just one sip. Their eyes and mouths were wide open. They were moving their mouths as if trying to say something, but the words didn’t come out right away.
“It’s sweet! This is totally different from the antidotes we’ve made until now!”
“It’s not bitter at all. Teacher Julius, could you be a god or something?”
“I’m not! This is—let’s say it’s a new method developed by the royal magic potion makers of the Spencer Kingdom.”
“Huh?”
“Wait…”
“Ah—”
The first to react to my lie was Sister-in-law Daniela. Then Alex-niisan tilted his head. Come on, you two…
Then Sophia-sama let out a small sound and covered her mouth with her hand, as if she had realized everything.
Emily-san and John-san seemed to have realized everything too. They gave me a very refreshing, almost enlightened smile. I was grateful they didn’t say anything more.
There was a bit of an awkward silence, but I decided to put that aside for now. There were still other things I needed to teach them.
“You’ve learned how to make the antidote without issue. Next, let’s move on to the basic and intermediate recovery potions. With these, we can help a lot of injured people.”
“You’ll teach us those too!? Teacher really might be a god!”
“God!”
“No, I’m not.”
Ah geez, things are starting to get a bit complicated. But I can’t stop here. I’d better teach them quickly and return to my country before things get any more chaotic.
