Frontier Magic Pharmacist

Chapter 74: Chloe’s Teachings

The first place Chloe showed us was a small courtyard. It was very well maintained, and the plants and flowers were blooming like a work of art. There was a small fountain in the center.

“This is the courtyard that I take care of.”

“Huh Chloe? That’s amazing. You definitely have a talent for growing plants. Oh, you grow medicinal herbs and herbs too. Herbal teas are delicious.”

“Oh, you know a lot.”

“Well, that might be true.”

“ brother is building a flower bed in his garden.”

Rosalia answered for me. To be precise, it is a medicinal herb garden in the name of flower bed. Chloe seemed to have guessed it when she heard that. She asked me secretly in my ear.

“Hey, could it be that you’re growing ingredients for magic potions?”

“As expected of Chloe, you’re very perceptive. You’re right.”

I answered in a normal voice, so she must have realized that Rosalia knew that I was making magic potions. Chloe’s tone returned.

“Is it that easy to make magic potions?”

Oh, Chloe is biting. This could be my chance. I’m going to drag Chloe into the potion swamp.

“If you get used to it, you’ll be able to make beginner level potions easily. By the way, I make a delicious potion.”

“Tasty?”

“Yes. Sweet, tangerine-flavored.”

“No way.”

Chloe’s eyes became round. I don’t know why, but when I see this face of Chloe’s, I think it’s cute. Is it because her eyes, which are usually a little pinched, become softer?

“Cute.”

“Hey! You’re kidding, right?”

Chloe’s face turned bright red. I’m not joking.

“It’s true. Would you Like to try it?”

“No, no, I don’t think so. ……”

It seems that she has already experienced the ghastliness of the magic potion. This is not good. If I don’t do something, Chloe will run away. If only she could try it once, she would understand.

I wish I could have brought the magic potion to the royal castle, but it’s impossible with the current state of alert. Then I can’t call Chloe to the townhouse ……, can we? Just because she’s a child doesn’t mean I can easily summon royalty.

This time it was a request from Chloe, so I can meet Chloe at the royal castle. If it were normal, it would be impossible.

“I wonder if Rosalia-chan has ever taken the magic potion Julius made?”

Oh, maybe she got away?　But sweet, Chloe. That’s Julius’ trap.

“Of course I have. The elementary stamina recovery potion made by brother is sweet, squishy, and very invigorating.”

“Sweet and squishy?　What does that mean?”

“You’ll understand when you try it, Chloe.”

“Hi-hii!”

I gently put my hand on Chloe’s shoulder and she let out a little scream. Her face is contorted with great fear. That is still the perception of magic potions in this world. One day I’m going to revolutionize that way of thinking.

“Well, I won’t force you to try it. But if you’re interested, give it a try. I can vouch for the taste and benefits. I can’t bring it here, but I wonder if I could at least send it to you ……?”

“That’s very wishy-washy of you. Well, I don’t think I can do it now.”

“Right?”

Next, we were taken to a corridor where portraits of the kings of the past are lined up. Is it okay for ordinary people to enter here?　Rosalia is clinging to my arm. It’s not popular, and it’s a little scary.

“Watch, I’ll show you something interesting!”

Saying that, Chloe stopped in front of a portrait. I wondered what she was going to do, but Chloe started to turn the portrait clockwise. The next moment, a black hole appeared under the portrait. This can’t be a hidden passageway!

“Hey, Chloe!”

“Surprised?　Isn’t it amazing?”

No, no, Chloe, this is not the time to be smug with your chest out. Rosalia was delighted to see it.

“It’s amazing! The stairs just appeared out of nowhere!’

As Rosalia said, a staircase leading downwards can be seen in the dark hole. I wonder if this leads to the sewers of the royal city.　In case of emergency, we would probably escape from here.

“What lies beyond?”

Rosalia tilts her head.

“Well?　I haven’t been there yet. Do you want to go?”

“No, no, no, no!　Chloe, let’s not do this. Quick, plug the hole. What if someone sees us!”

“What, you have no guts.”

“That’s not the point.”

Why is Chloe so naughty? Her sister Miss Daniela was much more ladylike. What’s going on? Was she raised differently?　Is that it?

Chloe reluctantly put it back. I checked around, but no one seemed to have seen her.

“Chloe, you can’t simply give away the royal family’s emergency passageway. What are you going to do if you can’t use it in case of emergency?”

“I’ll use another passage then.”

“That’s not the point!”

Oh, my God, what am I going to do? Should I report this to Her Royal Highness the Queen and ask her to tell me what to do? I can’t do it.

“There are other secret passageways like this one. That’s amazing!”

“That’s right, Rosalia-chan. I’m so proud of you that you can understand how amazing it is. I’m sure there are still many more passages that I don’t know about. Let’s find them together!”

“Stop?”

I did my best to stop her. How did this happen? It seemed that I had brought two people together who were not supposed to meet. I should write a letter to Her Royal Highness. It’s not good if I don’t do anything.

Accompanied by a disgruntled Chloe, I finally escaped from the royal family’s private space.

When we came to this side, the number of people passing by had clearly increased. Many servants are busily coming and going. Chloe proceeds without paying attention to those people. She arrived at the library in the royal castle.

“Wow, so many books.”

Please be quiet in the library. I tried to suppress the urge to yell out.

“Amazing, isn’t it?　This is a special place where only selected people can enter.”

Bookshelves stretched from the walls to near the ceiling. In the reading area, several people who looked like scholars were staring at books. The books on the table were all very thick.

“How do I get in?　Is there an exam or something?”

“Oh, do you want to enter freely too, Julius?　I will ask permission later.”

A connection!　That’s good, but..!

“Thank you very much.”

I asked honestly .
