Mariel-chan stood up happily with a herb in her hands.
āYou did it! Keep it up, Mariel.ā
Ruby nodded his head and praised Mariel-chan.
āEhehe, itās all thanks to you, Ruby.ā
Ruby repeatedly narrowed down the area to a certain extent and then let Mariel-chan search for it, because it would do no good for Mariel-chan, if she only told picked what Ruby had found.
Before long, Mariel-chan began to grasp the characteristics of the places where herbs grew, and she was able to find them more quickly. Ruby and Mariel-chan are both amazing!
Hector-sama would watch them with a smile on his face, and sometimes, when he was about to approach Mariel-chan and tell her the answer, Oniisama would grab him by the collar and pull him back.
He is more like a chaperone for Hector-sama than a supervisor for usā¦
As for me, Iām used to searching for all kinds of medicinal plants, and although itās a little different from the forests in our territory, Iāve already collected the necessary amount of herbsā¦
āErrm~ā¦ this is it!ā
āYou are wrong there. Thatās a weed, Adry-sama.ā
āW, well then, this one!ā
āā¦ That is a weed as well. The one next to it is a herb.ā
āSo itās this! Alright! I found it~!ā
No, you didnāt find it yourself.
I was supporting Adry-sama like this.
Because when I saw that all the plants he was grabbing at first were weeds, I was afraid that one day he might grab a poisonous plant and give himself a rash, so I decided it would be too dangerous to leave him aloneā¦
I wondered how he passed the exam like thisā¦ but from what I heard, he secretly obtained a mountain of questions from the past exams on the Knights Course and didnāt study anything else.
So he took the exam and got a high scoreā¦ Adry-sama, you are a lucky man, arenāt you?
āMiss Cristea, is this one okay?ā
āYes, that is the correct one.ā
āThank you.ā
Sei finds the herbs on his own, and he only checks with me to make sure of anything he is not sure of.
Iām sure he will be fine without my confirmation in a little while.
āWow, Norman, your little sister is excellent at this! Thereās no place for you to show off.ā
Hector-sama said in a ridiculing manner while leaning on Oniisamaās shoulder.
Oniisama seems to be having a hard time taking care of Hector-sama, thoughā¦?
āCristea has been harvesting herbs back in our fief, so sheās already used to it. Sheās more knowledgeable than me.ā
āHeh~ thatās incredible! Are you going to be pharmacist in the future?ā
āEh? No, not reallyā¦ā
Iāve been asked by Hector-sama if thatās what I want to be in the future, but I smiled to cover it up.
Itās just that I became familiar with medicinal herbs as a result of gathering them in the forests of our territory when I went to look for foodstuffsā¦
Some of the things I use as ingredients fall into the category of medicinal herbs in this world, so it was even more difficult to remember the names so that I didnāt make any mistakes on the exam.
Being a pharmacist in the future or anything like that is impossible for me.
āHmh~ the rumor that the Ellisfeeds are a family of elites seems to be true.ā
Eh, the hell that means? There are rumors like that!? Itās my first time hearing about this, though.
Otousama, Okaasama, and Oniisama are certainly an elite, but Iām more of a black sheep in the family, always doing things for the sake of food, so please count me out. No, seriously.
āYeah, Cristea is not only cute, but also intelligent.ā
āHeh~! Amazing!ā
Stop it, please donāt raise the bar so strangely, Oniisama! I canāt stand it!
Stop staring at me with your sparkling eyes, Hector-sama and Adry-sama!
When I averted my gaze away from Hector-sama and Adry-sama, I saw Alicia-sama.
