“Mother already knows, so I’m just trying not to waste time.”
“Why did you go there?”
“Why else would I go to a pharmacy? It’s because of medicine.”
“If you need any medicine, you only need to tell Raymond. He’ll prescribe it for you after treating you, so why would you go to such a place?”
“I went to ask about some medicine.”
“Medicine? What kind?”
“A conception pill.”
“….”
“There’s a rumor that the medicine that the pharmacy I went to has a pretty good effect on pregnancy. I’ve heard about it even before I entered this mansion.”
The words flowed out of me freely. As a matter of fact, Walter’s pharmacy was famous for selling remedies of one kind or another, so it wasn’t a complete lie.
“Are you going to drink the medicine that such a quack doctor made?”
“Not a quack, a pharmacist. And, I can’t just rely on Raymond forever. Right now, it feels like I’m grasping at straws.”
I mentioned Raymond’s name.
“I’ve been drinking Raymond’s prescription already, but a baby hasn’t been conceived yet.”
I looked Camilla in the eye and said this. “While I’m working to improve Amoide’s health, I thought it would be good to approach this from a different angle, too. That’s why I went there.”
Camilla listened well and lifted her teacup to her lips.
“But, did someone put a tail on me? How undignified.”
On the way to Amoide’s room, I saw that the garden I needed to passed through to get there was turned upside down. Most of the ruined foliage were the thick bushes or the plants at the rear of the garden.
Shovels of soil were piled up here and there, and a large net was installed.
“Oh, Milady.”
Coulton, the butler, bowed to me when he saw me.
Even with a head full of white hair, he still continued to work in this estate, managing the entire household.
“Coulton, what’s going on?”
“We’re looking for snakes.”
“Snakes?”
“There’s a hunt for them within the estate. Under Camilla’s instruction, the servants and gardeners are looking for them.”
“Oh…”
“It’s an order to capture every single one of them, so they don’t have a chance to crawl out.”
The old butler’s face looked pretty tired. I could understand his fatigue, seeing how much fuss Camilla was making.
“But, how are you doing it?”
“The first thing we did was place a net over the places where there’s likely a snake so that its actions are limited. Then, we lure it out with strawberry juice. It’s easier to capture them together like that.”
I could see gardeners carrying jugs of strawberry juice and spraying them near the net.
“That way, it’s easier to catch them all at once.”
“I guess so,” I said as I nodded.
Suddenly, it became noisy in another part of the garden.
“They must have caught one.”
Just as Coulton guessed, the gardeners were startled by the sudden appearance of a snake, then they picked it up with thick branches and put it in a sack.
Just the thought of it gave me goosebumps.

“It may be dangerous in this area while we’re catching them, so please refrain from taking walks here with the Master for a while.”
“…All right.”
I took a look at the sack one last time.
The leather sack was shaking wildly because the snake was still alive.
