Chapter 238: Ryouma the dical Resident (3/4)
“It’s that stuff you’re always drinking… I paid attention to the amount of leaves and hot water you used, so I shouldn’t be mistaken… I’ve been curious about it for a while now, but it’s a kind of herbal tea, right? Roasted Dante Flower Root, dried Yomugi, and if I’m not mistaken, Gilkoda Leaf was added too.” [Hector]
“As expected, you know your stuff.” [Ryouma]
It looks like he was able to figure out the three ingredients I used just from looking at my herbal tea, or rather, my Dandelion Coffee.
“What are the effects?” [Hector]
“There’s a lot. It serves as a nourishing tonic, promotes blood circulation, prevents anemia, helps stabilizes one’s mind, expels toxins, strengthens the stomach… etc.” [Ryouma]
“Yomugi does have a lot of effect and is even known as a ‘panacea within reach’.” [Hector]
“…Want a taste?” [Ryouma]
“You sure?” [Hector]
I an his eyes are practically glued onto my cup, so it’s kind of hard not to realize what he wants.
I’m sure I’d be acting the sa way if soone brought an unknown sli in front of .
We exchanged cups and I got Hector-san’s black tea.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I could call his black tea delicious even as flattery.
“Oh, yeah.” [Hector]
“?” [Ryouma]
Just when I thought he was focused on the Dandelion Coffee, he suddenly turned to .
“It’s a bit late to be saying this, but I’m surprised you’re able to get so many herbs this late into the winter.” [Hector]
“That’s because I started cultivating my own Yomugi as well as various other herbs. The slis help out a lot too.” [Ryouma]
“I thought you’d say that, but personally, I was thinking it would be more realistic to replace dicine with the dicine sli’s dicinal liquid than to keep concocting dicine from herbs. Is there a sli that makes herbs?” [Hector]
“I just realized it recently actually, but I think the Weed Sli might be capable of that.” [Ryouma]
Weed Sli, in other words, a sli of weed.
But there aren’t grasses that go as ‘weed’ in this world.
That ‘Yomugi’ ntioned earlier is treated as a herb.
And yet it possesses powerful reproduction abilities, so it tends to grow in empty lots on its own, so it can be considered to be a weed as well.
In other words, weeds are just grasses or herbs that can beco an annoyance to humans.
And the weed sli feeds on all types of grasses. It doesn’t discriminate between grasses. It doesn’t matter if it’s dicinal or poisonous, the weed sli can eat anything as long as it’s a grass. It’s basically the grass version of the tal sli that can eat anything as long as its tal.
That’s why Weed Slis can also be used to grow herbs if its ability to mimic herbs is used.
As for why they haven’t been able to grow any until I realized it, it’s probably because my orders confused them. I sent the weed slis my own image of weed, so they couldn’t produce any grass that could be used for anything useful.
Having the wrong impression is really a scary thing. You can’t even tell that you’re under a wrong impression until you realize it.
It’s definitely sothing I need to reflect on as a researcher.
“By the way, the Weed Sli feeds on water, sunlight, and the scavenger sli’s fertilizer. Due to the garbage processing plant, we can acquire a large amount of fertilizers everyday, so it should be possible to produce a vast amount of herbs once we start the process. In fact, we’ve already started a little.” [Ryouma]
I know that the weed slis can produce dicinal herbs and poisonous herbs. But if they can evolve into dicinal herb slis and poisonous herb slis, then that’s even better. That’s why among the many weed slis, I picked out those interested in poison-type mana on top of the wood-type mana that all weed slis liked, and am currently waiting for them to evolve.
“To be honest with you, I never had any interest in slis before coming here, but now I know that you really can’t look down on those little critters.” [Hector]
“I’m just glad to know that you’ve acknowledged the beauty and ability of slis.” [Ryouma]
Actually, I discovered one more thing recently after researching the liquid of the slis, but if I talk about that, we’ll exceed our break ti, so I’ll put it off for another day.
After our short break ended, we went back to work, and after losing myself in my work again, I completed my quota for the day.
“Hector-san. Everything is ready.” [Ryouma]
“Thank you. I can take care of the rest.” [Hector]
“In that case, I’ll move on to my next job.” [Ryouma]
And so, I went to my next job.
My next job was to examine and treat patients who visit the hospital. In other words, ‘practical training’.
The patients in this hospital are mostly laborers from other departnts.
A lot of them had to cover a lot of distance just to get to Gimuru and didn’t live good lives in their hotown.
Among these people are people who couldn’t adapt to the new environnt and people whose living circumstances weren’t good, leading to a deterioration in their health. Perhaps because they were finally able to relax after finding employnt, the consequences of all their built-up fatigue only flared up recently.
These people were brought to the hospital to receive treatnt as part of the welfare program and to serve as training material for the residents.
“Good work out there.” [Ryouma]
“Oh, you’re here. Good timing.” [Dr. Mafral]
I entered the examination room from the back, and Dr. Mafral was waiting there.
The other three residents were already here and were already in the middle of examining their respective patients.
Seeing the nurses restlessly go to and fro the examination room, there might be a lot of patients today.
“The guards just ca.” [Dr. Mafral]
“That’s my departnt, isn’t it? I’ll get ready imdiately.” [Ryouma]
