We are having a course about collecting medicinal herbs at the guild today. In connection to that, I am looking at the herb encyclopedia I bought the other day.
Hmm, I can’t tell the difference between ordinary herbs and medicinal herbs at all….
I’ll never be able to collect medicinal herbs unless I’m actually taught how to do it.
“Shun-oniichan, what are you doing?”
“I was looking at the herb encyclopedia but I’m going out now.”
“Everyone’s waiting you know!”
Shiro and Ao, who is on top Shiro’s head, opens the door to the room and calls out to me, checking if I’m ready.
Since everyone at the inn started accepting requests together, every morning, we have also been training together in the backyard of the inn even for a short time.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“Shun-oniichan was looking at the herb encyclopedia.”
“Hahaha, Shun is as serious as ever.”
I joined the others who had already warmed up and start training straight away. First, I sit and concentrates on circulating the magical power in my body. For some reason, other people who can’t use magic are also doing it.
“It calms my mind and makes me more focused.”
—That’s what they said.
The innkeeper, who was watching our training, also told us to continue doing so, saying that it is important to keep our minds in place.
After that, we first divided into two groups. The group of magicians and the others then we started skill related training. Among the people who organized the warehouse together, there were actually two who had magical talent. One of them is a timid-looking healer, and the other is a scout who could use physical enhancements.
“Since I’m a healer, I can’t use offensive magic……”
“Don’t be silly. Having a healer in the party will make a big difference to the whole party’s chances of survival you know.”
The timid healer said that he couldn’t use offensive magic, but the innkeeper said that many would appreciate having a healer. Plus, even if he quit being an adventurer, he can still make a living as a healer.
“Adjusting the speed is hard.”
“But you are getting better little by little!”
The scout also had a hard time adjusting his physical abilities. He is trying all sort of things as he talks about it with Shiro. Whenever the scout does something well, Shiro praises him. So little by little, he’s also making progress in his training.
After that, everyone practiced paired karate. Shiro is originally a beastman and can move quickly, making her the most popular training partner. She is also a kind person, so she is happy to match up with everyone.
Then the training stops there.
We also have things to do afterwards so we usually finish it in about 30 minutes.
“Okay, let’s meet in front of the inn.”
“Yes.”
Everyone sweated lightly so we all need a quick wash up and get ourselves ready to go to the guild.
We are all a little curious about what kind of person will teach us how to collect herbs.
