Ms. Helena Looked Busy

“Ah, Ms. Lyra.”

“Mr. Takumi. I thought you were in the back garden?”

“I finished my work and came back inside. Uhh, here… Please give this to Nick when he arrives.”

“Certainly. Are you going somewhere now?”

“I’m going to see Ms. Helena in the kitchens so I can talk to her about the wine. …She is there, isn’t she?”

“Yes, Ms. Helena should be in the kitchens and preparing lunch. Very well, I shall pass this to Nick for you.”

“Thank you.”

As I had met Ms. Lyra on the way to the kitchens, I asked her to give Nick the herbs in my place.

I also asked her about Ms. Helena, and she confirmed that she would be in the kitchen now.

Preparing lunch… She was always working so hard, and I was grateful for that.

“Excuse me. …Uh, are you busy now?”

“Mr. Takumi? What do you want?”

“Where is Ms. Helena?”

“You want to see her? I’ll call her now.”

“Sorry to disturb you at such a time. But thank you.”

When I arrived at the kitchen, there were a lot of cooks running around in white uniforms.

I suppose they really were busy making lunch.

I felt bad for coming at such a time.

A young man noticed me, and so I asked him about Ms. Helena, and then went to call her.

That was fine… But if she was too busy, then I could just come later.

“Mr. Takumi? What is the matter?”

“Uhh, I brought you some Ramogi to soak in the wine… But I suppose you are busy now?”

“Ah, yes. There is a lot to do when preparing lunch. That being said, we are all used to this work. Alright, I’ll take the Ramogi. Then I can put it to the test after we are finished with lunch.”

“Thank you. Ah, please call me and Leo when it is done. Otherwise, we won’t be able to tell if it will still make you sick.”

“Certainly.”

Accodring to Ms. Isabelle, there were magic tools that allowed you to detect it as well, but we did not have such a device here.

And so we had no choice but to have Leo do it.

“Also, there are some herbs that will improve the wine…”

“Ms. Helena, please help me!”

“Very well! Mr. Takumi, I’m sorry. But the cooks…”

“No, I’m the one who is sorry for bothering you. I will come again when there is time.”

“Thank you…”

Ms. Helena was called by the other cooks and had to leave.

She was very apologetic, but I told her I would be back and then left the kitchen.

They were making food for everyone, so it was best to not get in their way.

“Oh, Mr. Takumi? Did you have business in the kitchen?”

“Sebastian. I was giving Ms. Helena the herbs to be added to the wine.”

“I see.”

“And some other herbs for medicinal wine as well, but… She was quite busy, and so I’m going to go back later.”

“Yes, the kitchens are like a battlefield during this time of the day, so it cannot be helped. Still, medicinal wine?”

As soon as I left the kitchen, I bumped into Sebastian.

Was he on his way to the kitchen?

“Yes. While making herbs in the garden, I decided to make some others as a test. And because they were new herbs, I wanted Ms. Helena’s opinion on them…”

“I see. Hmm… And what kind of herbs were they?”

“Uhh…to put it simply, they are herbs that were made for the purpose of being a supplement for the things your body needs. So you become tougher to illness… That’s what I was thinking…”

“But?”

“Uh, Sebastian. Aren’t you busy? I thought you were going to the kitchen…?”

“Ah, that’s right. It is just that this is so interesting… Well, I will talk to you later, Mr. Takumi… Maybe I will join you when you talk with Helena.”

“Very well. I will call you when I go to see her.”

“Very good.”

Sebastian was so interested in the new herbs that he forgot the reason that he had come down here.

As it might be related to the food, it would be no good to stand around here and talk.

When he remembered, I promised to call him later and we separated.

“Now, I have some free time… What to do… I suppose I should go back to the garden and see how Mr. Ekenhart is doing?”

I still had some time before lunch.

And since there wasn’t much for me to do today, I had plenty of time to spare.

As for my training, I planned to do that before dinner… And as for Milina’s studies, she was busy learning to be a servant today, so there would be no lessons.

So even if I would talk with Ms. Helena and Sebastian between lunch and training, I had nothing to do right now.

“And I already gave the herbs to Ms. Lyra… So I guess I’ll just go to the garden.”

Maybe I should have just handed them to Nick myself… I thought of such things as I walked down the hallway towards the back garden.

“Thank you, missy. I guess my old brother is busy.”

“I told you to stop calling me that…”

“…Huh?”

As I walked down the hallway, I heard a man and woman talking.

Went I turned to look, I saw that Nick was holding the back of herbs and talking to Ms. Lyra.

“Ms. Lyra. Nick.”

“Mr. Takumi? Are you finished already?”

“Brother! I thought you were busy?”

“Hahaha. Well, they were pretty busy in the kitchen. And so I finished up early and came out.”

I went up to Nick and Ms. Lyra, who were talking in the entrance hall.

Both of them were not expecting to see me.

Nick looked rather happy for some reason… it wasn’t because he was able to meet me…right?
