The next day. On the grounds of my home in the forest.
Three elf children and I were now taking a class from the elf onee-san.
The lesson was about medicinal herbs and various plants.
I listened to the lesson and took notes on paper.
“Healing herbs are the ingredients used to make potions.
It is made by mixing the herb powder with water and simmering it for two to three days.”
[With [Accelerated Alchemy], you can make it instantly without simmering it.]
“Well, as expected of Toe Beans Demon King.
That’s enviable since the elves have no aptitude for alchemy.”
[Why don’t you ask a human alchemist for help?]
“Unfortunately, we elves and humans don’t get along well….”
Come to think of it, that’s true.
I’ve had normal interactions with Aurene and never noticed it.
While speaking of elves, it seems that the Franbel Kingdom has recently been buying up elven slaves from other countries.
It seems like the heroes are making a move, as Mac-kun said.
They have the elves plant trees and make paper.
Within six months, a lot of plant paper was distributed in the Franbel Kingdom.
And book prices have become much cheaper.
As for the Franbel Kingdom, I feel the gap between elves and humans is getting closer.
Perhaps it’s just my imagination.
“Let’s move on to how to grow healing grass.
We can sow seeds of this grass in the winter and harvest in the spring.
They prefer moist red soil and good sun exposure.”
But still, none of the kids are making a fuss today.
They usually poke fun at their teacher, the elf onee-san, hmm?
“““………zzz.”””
They’re sleeping!
The elf onee-san noticed and gave the three of them a good whack.
“Ouch, granny !”
“Violence isn’t allowed!”
“If you’re that short-tempered, no one will want to marry you, right, sensei?”
“That’s none of your business!”
The class continued with the elf onee-san scolding the energetic children.
