Book 8: Chapter 2 (1)
The next day, Shin contacted Schnee via Mind Chat after breakfast.
“(…and so, I’m going to help them for a while. I’m sorry, but please take care of Hermie and the others.)”
“(Don’t be, we’re just waiting for the ship to reach port here. I doubt that the ship will be attacked again like yesterday after all.)”
Shin told Schnee that he was going to help Kanade and entrusted Hermie and the others to her. Even if they were subjected to an attack of similar magnitude, they had enough fighting power to withstand it, so he wasn’t particularly worried.
Shin ended the Mind Chat with Schnee and spoke to Kanade.
“Lady Kanade, about what we talked about yesterday…could you tell me the name of the herb you went looking for?”
“This? It’s called Dead Snake Grass. Depending on the concoction, it can become a potion, or so they say.”
Hearing the name of the herb, Shin was more and more confident that the situation could be just like the quest he remembered.
“…I apologize in advance for such a personal question, but could you tell me in detail what symptoms your sister has? Ever since I saw that medicinal herb, something was bothering me, and I finally remembered what it was. I might be able to help in curing your sister’s sickness.”
