092. Healing Art of Baking (2)

After the Justia Banquet.

Soy Spoon was living a peaceful and ordinary commoner’s day as usual.

She looked around the store with a slightly sentimental feeling.

Hilllace Bakery is shabby but warm.

A comfortable space filled with the savory smell of bread.

‘As expected, I look good here.’

At one time, she had longed for the nobles’ banquets beyond her means.

However, after actually attending the banquet in Justia, that longing was shattered.

‘By the way, will Iriel be okay?’

That day, the moment Iriel fell from the terrace was good in her eyes.

And the moment when the instructor saved her by exerting his strength.

Like a scene in a play, I remembered the instructor holding Iriel in his arms.

‘Um, since the instructor saved it, it should be fine.’

Anyway, the banquet was nothing special than I thought and only felt boring.

No, but wearing glittering jewelry and beautiful clothes, with people you wouldn’t normally even see eye to eye with… … .

hmm? Continuing his thoughts, Soyi frowned.

‘Come to think of it, isn’t the swordsmanship class even more amazing… … ?’

Even during class, I can talk to them and get along comfortably.

With that thought, the banquet felt even more insignificant.

Oh, there was one memorable thing.

‘Serena and the instructor’s dance was really pretty… … .’

The dance itself was the banquet she had dreamed of.

A dance that blends in sync with the music as if they became one.

Calm like a calm lake, and flowing like a raging river… … .

What if it was Serena who was by the instructor’s side and not Serena?

Soi closed his eyes.

Open one hand and wrap the other hand around the opponent’s waist, one by one.

I moved my body.

“Hee hee hee hee~~ Uh hee hee hee~~♬”

Soi, who was dancing alone, stomped her feet with a thump as she reached the climax.

Whoa-

‘Yeah, it felt like this.’

That time when I closed my eyes and enjoyed the afterglow.

“Once more! Once more! Whoops!”

Soi froze and looked back.

There was an older sister, Celia, with a clear, bright smile.

“Look, I saw… … ?”

Celia nodded deeply.

“Uh, since when?”

“heheheh~~ Uh heuhhmm~~From ♬?”

“… … .”

Soyi wanted to hide in a mouse hole. However, Celia continued as if she didn’t care at all about her feelings.

“Um, um. It was a great struggle. Very, very flexible like… … . frog?”

“… … .”

“Umm, is it close to the movement of an earthworm burrowing into the ground?”

“… … .”

Celia scratches her insides as if she doesn’t know anything.

Soi’s face turned red.

In this case, the first thing to do is to avoid the seat quickly!

“Nana! I’ll go out! Hey, bread! I need to buy the ingredients!”

“I’m sorry, Soy Spoon, the first-class dancer of the empire, but the ingredients are plentiful.”

“Well, then I’ll go out and bring in a guest!”

“The setting before the evening sale has not yet been completed. If more guests come, it will only be troublesome, so I beg you to go and bring some bread.”

Apparently, I was in the mood to play with this for a few weeks.

In the end, Soyi cried and went out to set the bread to eat mustard.

At the same time, he had no choice but to endure the ridicule of Celia who kept giggling behind him.

“Ho-Oxi, did you dance like that at the banquet? Didn’t the instructor say something?”

“I didn’t dance!”

“Why, you dance well! With that gesture, even the instructor would be shocked and hardened!”

“Do it in moderation!”

“Well. It was a truly unpredictable move.”

At that time, a bold voice suddenly added to the end of Soyi’s words.

“to?”

“Elise.”

“Kyo, Instructor!?”

At the entrance of the store, Zeke was crossing his arms.

Looking at the older sister holding back a nonsense laugh from behind, it seemed that she had come to inform her that the instructor had come.

Soy Spoon’s face twisted.

She glared at Celia once and then told Zeke.

“Look, did you see it?”

“Well.”

“I want to quit that swordsmanship class.”

“Yeah, if you want to, do it. Just be aware that if you quit now, your scholarship will be cancelled.”

“What a shame!”

This person always holds a weakness like this!

Zeke calmed down Soy, who was about to say something more, and brought up the matter right away.

“Anyway, could you go with me now? The matter was urgent, so I came directly.”

“Yeah… … ? Any problem?”

“Yes, I need your help.”

“Hey, help? I only know how to make bread… … ?”

“Yes, I need that talent.”

Soy Spoon and Celia both tilted their heads with questioning faces.

“Ah, it would be difficult to run the store without Elise. This is the price of a temporary rental.”

Zeke took a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to Celia.

‘Are you still borrowing the incendiary as an object?’

Celia looked at Soyi with a hardened expression.

“Elise.”

“Uh, sister, this is what I did… … .”

“Hurry up and help me. You seem to be in a hurry.”

Soy Spoon glared at her sister.

* * *

On the way to Joheiden Mansion.

Although the matter was urgent, he needed a proper explanation, so Zeke chose the means of a wagon.

In the carriage, Soi was shocked to hear the circumstances.

“Is it Iriel!?”

“yes. I am in a very bad condition right now.”

“Well, but then you have to go to the doctor. Why did you tell me… … .”

“Well, have I ever told you what talent you have?”

“… … I don’t think you ever said anything like that.”

There were times when I was forced to do hard training and take swordsmanship lessons.

I’ve never had a teacher tell me that I have any talents.

Of course, he told me to take the class because he had certain expectations of himself, but there is a world difference between directly listening and indirectly feeling!

“What talents do I have… … ? Seriously, a doctor… … !?”

Soi asked cautiously with a slightly pounding heart.

If you become a doctor, you can live a completely different life than you do now.

If you develop your talent in medicine, even if you are a commoner, you will be treated like a lower nobleman.

In other words, a huge honey job that brings money together with respect!

Zeke nodded.

“Well, to be more precise, more like a pharmacist than a doctor.”

“Chemist!”

Soyi burst out exclamation.

Yes, worse than a doctor, but a pharmacist isn’t bad either.

If you buy herbs and combine them to develop a special medicine for a specific disease, you can come to the money room.

Then, all of a sudden, I had a question.

‘But why does the swordsman class instructor tell me about such a talent… … ? And, even if I have talent, I haven’t learned anything yet… … ?’

“By the way, did you call me to heal Iriel?”

“Well.”

“You don’t know anything about that drug?”

Zeke stroked Soyi’s head as if to say not to worry about that.

“You’ve already been manufacturing drugs all this while.”

“Am I? What medicine!?”

Oh My God. Could it be that he was already developing his talent for manufacturing medicine without even realizing it?

Instructor recognizes himself early!

However, Soyi couldn’t help but be stunned by Zeke’s next words.

“It is a drug.”

“… … ?”

“You have a talent for making drugs.”

“… … Yeah?”

When she didn’t seem to understand, Zeke kindly explained.

“Well, I have a knack for making drugs that can make those who eat them happy, make them forget their pain, or even do a vicious mind attack.”

“… … .”

Is that my talent?

A drug that the imperial guards will come and seize after manufacturing it, my talent?

Soi glared at Zeke.

“Have you ever heard of a bakery’s sales going up and down depending on your mood lately?”

“uh… … .”

The moment she heard Zeke’s words, her face hardened.

there was.

Recently, Hill Race Bakery has been raising awareness in its own way.

The range of fluctuations in sales fluctuated very rapidly.

When she’s in a good mood, oddly, sales go up

On days when she was in a bad mood, oddly, sales plummeted.

In the meantime, Soi has been thinking of this in the opposite way.

When sales go up, you feel good, and when sales go down, you feel bad.

However, when I think about it, isn’t it just before the sales come out that I feel good in the morning!

“Well, what does that have to do with drugs… … . Now, are you saying that I-I put drugs in the bread?”

“Um, something like that.”

“I’ve never put anything like that!”

Soi groaned.

In the meantime, I have always given top priority to cleanliness when making bread and have done my best to make delicious bread. The memory of using materials that are dangerous or harmful to people in the process… … . Just once, there was only black bread I made to get revenge on the instructor.

“I guess so. It is a power you are not yet aware of.”

The more I talk, the more I feel like I’m talking about Zen dialogue.

“It will be difficult to understand if I explain it now, so I will tell you after seeing Iriel. You have arrived. Get down.”

And.

Seeing Iriel’s figure, Soyi staggered backwards.
