When I returned to the mansion, the first place I headed was neither my room nor Hori’s room, but Hori’s workshop on the other side of the mansion.
After the academy schedule was over, Hori stayed in her studio and refused to leave the studio except to eat or bathe.
At least recently, after hearing that he sleeps in the mansion, he stayed in the mansion for about a night and still stayed in the studio for most of the day.
“Come in!!”
He shouted loudly enough to be heard from inside, and slammed the door open and went inside.
Then, with a clang!, Hori coughed and ran outside.
“Collock!! Cole!!”
What does it have to do with the clanging sound I heard a while ago? When I looked from where Hori had jumped out, there was a puddle of pink gas rising from the pool of pink water on the floor.
“What is that?”
“Mr. Ian!! It’s dangerous to inhale!”
Hori, who had covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief she took out quickly, pulled her sleeve and hurriedly followed her out of the studio.
After opening a distance of about 10m from the studio, Hori took the handkerchief out of her mouth and took a deep breath and gave a relieved expression.
“What is it?”
“It’s a dangerous poison that can make breathing difficult if you just inhale it. It is a tricky poison with the peculiar property of vaporizing as soon as it escapes from a container that has been enchanted with shape fixing… .”
Why the hell are you making this bastard in someone else’s house?
No, but rather, that I was experimenting with that poison means that I’m going to get drunk sooner or later?
“… … There are many things I want to say, but first, pack your bags. I have to go quickly.”
“yes? Where are you going… .”
“The Count of Vongrind.”
Hori couldn’t hear the story of the situation yet, so she looked at me with eyes wondering what she was saying.
But when he told Hori what had just happened, her eyes grew bigger and bigger, and an innocent smile like a child before Christmas began to bloom on her face.
“Bar, I’ll prepare right away!! Still, the medicines I gave you before have been improved, and there are a lot of other drugs I want to try!!”
“Yeah, but the smoke hasn’t gone away yet, shouldn’t we wait a bit?”
There was pink smoke in the workshop from breaking the special container earlier, but it seemed that it would take at least tens of minutes to completely disperse.
However, Hori raised her handkerchief again, as if she couldn’t remember what she had just said, and said as if it was nothing.
“Just hold your breath and grab it quickly and come out!!”
“Don’t be stupid, go to your room and get some clothes. It will take quite a while to get there.”
Until the Count of Vongrind, Silence had a considerable distance to run while using his fighting spirit, so he had to prepare several clothes to change into.
Hori couldn’t easily let go of her regrets and looked at the studio full of smoke as if regretfully, then clenched her teeth and hurriedly ran to the mansion.
I immediately followed Hori back to the mansion and ordered the maid to prepare the clothes.
They were originally hired by Pong Pong mother and daughter, and at my request, I had been living in this house with a few butlers for several weeks.
After a while, when they handed me a bag of clothes from my room, Hori was leaving the room with a large bag of clothes.
“approximately!! Now I have to get my medicine!!”
Saying that, seeing Hori rushing with a big bag and running, for some reason, my breath leaked out.
Even though the smoke had not gone away, I was worried that I might do something stupid out of a rush, so I hurriedly left the mansion.
Then, unsurprisingly, Hori stood in front of the studio, laying down her bag on one side, and covering her mouth with a handkerchief, preparing to enter the still smoky studio.
“hey!! stop!!”
Just before entering the workshop, I barely grabbed Hori’s back and blocked the entry, and I sighed and placed my hand on Youngta’s hilt.
‘I don’t want to use my feet for such a stupid thing, but… .’
However, there is no other answer than this, unless even a wizard is summoned right now.
“Suck… !!”
I adjusted my strength as much as possible so as not to hurt the windows or the equipment inside, and I drew my sword grandly so that a great wind would arise.
Hui-ying!!, along with the sound of a strong wind blowing, the wind from the sword pressure drove the smoke that had filled the studio out through the window.
“I took it out roughly, but there may still be some left, so be careful and go inside.”
“yes!!”
With that said, Hori, who covered her mouth with a handkerchief, entered the studio with swift movements like a thief.
Then, a small amount of medicine was brought out from the workshop, and after putting the medicine on the ground, he went inside and came out again with the medicine.
After repeating this about eight times, there was so much medicine on the ground that I thought it would fit in my bag.
Excited to see the large amount of medicine piled up on the floor, I asked Hori, who was wiping the sweat from her forehead with the handkerchief that was covering her mouth.
“Are you going to go and open a pharmacy? What are you carrying so much?”
“They say that the more drugs and side effects, the better!! In case you didn’t know, I took a lot!!”
“Where in the world is that word?”
“And where there is a fierce battle, my medicine might be quite useful… .”
Seeing that his face was blushing as if imagining the scene, he seemed to be promoting his medicine on a large scale if he went over there.
“I told you in advance, but when you feed it to someone else, please explain the side effects properly.”
“yes! I know it well!”
In addition to the doping pills, there were also a number of recovery potions that heal the body.
It’s a substitute, but the recovery potion didn’t have any side effects, so it could be used more safely.
“But can’t you make a potion that heals all wounds when you drink it?”
“… Well, there’s nothing you can’t make with just the materials, but in the case of a fracture, if you use such a potion prematurely, the bones may attach strangely.”
In addition, if it is a wound caused by magic, it is impossible to know how the mana will affect the potion taken at the wounded area, so it is unreasonable to drink a potion that heals all wounds just by drinking it like a game.
When we went to Jessica’s mansion with Silence with all the medicines and potions they brought with them, a luxurious carriage and Jessica were waiting for us.
Jessica was wearing pure white plate armor, not her usual uniform or dress, so that’s why her yellow blonde hair stood out more than usual.
“Are you wearing armor already?”
“… … It’s too late if you wear it after the enemy comes out. It will not be safe on the way.”
As he said, it would take at least a few weeks to get to the counties of vongrind, so it wasn’t strange to meet barbarians on the road by then.
“But you don’t wear armor, do you?”
“I hate it because it’s boring.”
There is no point in wearing armor because the sword of a weak enemy cannot cut my skin that is covered with fighting spirit.
Conversely, an enemy strong enough to be wary of would cut me through my body with all my armor, so there was no answer but dodge.
“Well, even if that’s the case… Next to her… .”
When Jessica glanced at Hori standing next to her, Hori flinched and fled behind me.
Before, when you confronted Marina, you didn’t mind, so why did you come to Inje and only get scared by Count Young-ae?
“You told me before. I’m going to pick up Hori. Why are you putting it all together?”
“Well, I was a little confused at the time… . But when you think about it, it’s a little strange to take someone who is neither a swordsman nor a wizard… .”
“Well, it is. I promised him that I would show him how to fight with the medicine he used.”
“Fighting… Is it like a drug test?”
There was a purpose, but most of it was to satisfy Hori’s perverted taste.
Of course, explaining that would make the story more complicated, so I didn’t have to add more.
“It’s roughly like that. But would you be okay with this luxurious carriage? If it’s flashy like this, I think it’ll be easy to target.”
Of course, if it was me, it was good that the number of people who practiced my feet would increase, but it was only annoying if I attacked them endlessly like fruit flies flying towards the fire once or twice.
Like Jessica’s armor, the carriage with gold decorations on top of the white carriage was very luxurious, and it looked more like a large craft than a carriage.
It was like spending the night on the floor of a ghetto dressed in gold clothes.
“The opposite is true. Because the carriage is so luxurious, on the other hand, thieves do not attack.”
As I was about to say what those words meant, I recollected that this world was not Earth, and burst out in laughter.

Most of the nobles in this world are wizards or swordsmen who have learned martial arts.
Of course, not all aristocrats were like that, but it was easy to guess that they were of a fairly high rank if they were riding such luxurious carriages casually.
“You mean to drive away small dwarfs by showing off your power with your wealth, right?”
“Yeah, sometimes there are people who don’t know the fountain, but it’s easy to deal with such fools.”
“Surely it is.”
We loaded our luggage at the back of the wagon and slowly got on the wagon.
For some reason, it felt like Jessica was glaring at Hori as she got into the carriage.
