Chapter 140 – Episode 134 – Rabbit… Will You Like It? (6)

After the saintess finished speaking, Hernan looked sideways at Silnia next to him instead of answering.

The elf’s mouth opens slightly and her eyes slowly lose focus.
This is proof that you can’t keep up with the current conversation.

Silnia has been here as well, gaining some experience with her power relations, but she’s not quite ready to accept the sudden conversation.

Not to mention, she’s not even that close with Marina.

Then, what was the saintess thinking, saying this in the presence of Silnia?

Pushing aside the questions that popped into his head, Hernán decided to start with more objective facts.

“Let’s start with mint. We’re here to discuss the dangers of Karine’s sleeping pills.”

“Great.”

Marina nodded and reached out her hand to Hernán.

“Can you help me get into a sitting position?”

“You can lie down and do it.”

Despite Hernán’s dissuade, the saintess continued to hold out her hand.
Eventually, Hernán helped her sit in her reclined position on her bed.

Marina lets out a long, thin moan as her body settles into place.
She waited for a while for her pain to go away before she began to speak.

“… Does Hernan know that mint is not usually given to breastfeeding women?”

“I think I heard from the saintess that milk doesn’t come out well.”

The saintess, whose milk came out excessively, deliberately brewed her mint and drank it.
Hernando had seen it a few times, so she knew that mint interfered with milk production.

“Isn’t that why you told women not to drink mint-infused tea?”

Instead of her head, which did not move well, the saintess only slightly flicked her eyes.

“Yes. However, as mint itself can only be obtained from the Poti Lab, it was not such an important piece of advice in the first place.”

In fact, except for the occasional use of Poti as an air freshener, or the very occasional tea, mint is not a part of the diet here.

Perhaps the fact that Potty’s close friend Sharpie scolded him for blasphemy against food whenever he saw Mint also influenced Potty’s only occasional eating of mint.

None of the other women bothered to find and eat mint.

“By the way, Ernan. No, the same goes for Sylnia.”

Marina opened her mouth, straining the relaxed atmosphere.

“Did you know that some couples who do not want children use mint? I think you probably don’t know.”

Silnia was the first to react to those words.

“A couple who do not want children? Could it be that it is used to erase children?”

Both Marina and Hernán slightly frowned at Silnia’s direct speech.
However, there was a feeling that the flow of the conversation was a little faster thanks to that.

“That’s right. This is a difficult fact to know in a place like a city where the church is well controlled, or in an elven society where children are rare and pregnancy is difficult in the first place.”

Hernan, from the city, and Silnia, from the elven society, were completely unaware of this fact.

“It is believed to be beneficial mainly in rural or remote areas. I also learned that there is such an effect while studying medicine. Of course, to actually reach that performance, you would have to refine the mint quite painstakingly.”

Hernán brushed her cheeks as she let out her moans involuntarily.

“Then why Potty refined it and put it in sleeping pills…”

“To prevent the hero from getting pregnant again.”

Kindly, Marina didn’t look at Sylnia, who physically made the attempt.

But the elf blushed as if her saintess had said those words directly to her.

“The conceived foot prevents the child from settling down, and the condition persists until the uterus rejects the child at all.”

Marina’s words conveyed only the truth, so there was a rather creepy aspect to it.

“It must have been quite a shock to Potty that the last warrior was pregnant. Seeing that he is trying to prevent me from getting pregnant again.”

Even after the explanation was over, Hernán remained silent.
Then the saintess added her own words.

“If it smelled like mint, Potty could make a mistake or say he didn’t know much about mint.”

Her maiden seemed to interpret Hernán’s silence as her suspicion of the information she had told her.
She worked hard to reinforce what she said.

“But even Silnia, an elf, could barely smell her scent, and highly refined it, mixing it with an addictive drug. No one can but see that mint was added for malicious purposes.”

That’s hard to deny.
Even to Hernan, it felt like Potty was projecting clear malice towards Karine.

Honestly, considering Poti’s hostility towards Carine, this is information that could be realized without the saintess’ additional explanation.

So, Hernan, who had been guessing Marina’s intentions inside, prepared for the next conversation.

“Sylnia.”

Silnia’s body trembled at her sudden call.

“Sir… You were surprised.”

“I left Ethan alone for too long. You should go to sleep.”

“Uh?”

Silnia opened her eyes wide.
Seeing his image reflected in her bright green eyes, Hernán stood up first.

“I will take Silnia and come back. The saintess will wait for a moment.”

“Sylnia can stay here too. Ethan, hasn’t it been a while since the night and day haven’t changed? She is probably sleeping quietly.”

From the time she entered this room, Marina was strangely friendly towards Silnia.

No matter how much Marina is a saint of the Mercy Church and educated in her forgiveness, it is difficult for her to be friendly with someone who has crippled her for a long time.

Maybe that’s why there was kindness that really flowed from her heart, but Hernán felt that there was a contrived aspect to her saintly attitude.

“I want Silnia to be here too and she wants to be part of the conversation. She’s heard this far, so isn’t it awkward to send her back alone?”

There is definitely
There was a political intent to definitely attract a sorry Silnia to her ally.

And Hernán felt an instinctive rejection of that fact.

Silnia gets involved in politics in earnest.
He imagined it and overlapped it with her present Potty.

“I will take Silnia and come back. Ethan, who is still a child, is anxious to be away from adults for too long.”

In the conversation that followed, Hernán’s justification for separating Silnia was quite effective.

“I’m a bit uneasy after hearing this…”

Silnia tried to get her butt off her chair, as if she had a hunch that the conversation was going to be longer than she thought.
Even though the saintess must be having a hard time because of the fractures in her body, she tried to hold Silnia who was trying to twist her body.

“Sylnia. You are already an important witness. It’s better to hear the story in advance…”

“Tell Hernán well. I just want to hear it.”

Silnia shook Marina’s words and slowly raised her body.

“I want to go take my child.”

“But… !”

Marina’s expression hardened as if she was trying to convince her further.
However, she soon let go of her expression.

“But… Maybe she’s awake and looking for her mother.”

Marina muttered, rolling her eyes at her feet.

“I’ll be waiting. Please go.”

The place where Lenny used to watch over her sick mother.
Hernan’s gaze also stayed there for a while.

He soon took her eyes off her and took Silnia’s hand and led her outside.
And in the end, I thought that the proper reconciliation today was over.

* * *

Hernan, who brought Silnia, sat next to Marina.
She asked, turning her body slightly towards Hernán.

“Did Silnia go in well? Has she not run into another woman?”

“It’s the next room. It’s not really going to be a problem.”

After exchanging such a simple conversation, the two were silent for a while.
And the saintess opened her mouth first.

“Are you going to interrogate Forty right away tomorrow?”

“Yes. When Silnia starts giving birth, she will definitely use the drug, and Potty will stop by her lab to check the drug used. We need to meet as soon as possible.”

“Are you going to meet alone?”

Hernán responded rather sharply to the question.

“Don’t think about letting anyone know about Forty’s actions without my permission. I told Silnia the same.”

“Are you going to just move on? Did you just leave an order not to do it?”

Hernán recalled a similar incident to her now.

Carine gave Potty a cookie with chocolate, which Hernan found out.
However, she thoroughly denied that fact and tried to overcome it somehow, and she even dragged Silnia into it.

In return for trying to let go of her wrongdoing, she had both of her wish tickets taken away.

And because the child was also taken away, she barely spent time with Hernán, even after giving birth.

In the weeks following her birth, all the women wanted to turn to Hernán.
As much as Karine was trying to get Hernan’s attention back, especially after her delivery, she must have been even more desperate for Hernan.

So her time spent alone without Hernan, without her children, was a huge blow to her.

It is said that Karine has completely changed since that incident.

Then what about Potty?
What should she do if she too, like her Karine, denies her self-action and tries to hold out to her end?

“Would it be enough to tell Potty not to do it? In the future, the attack method will only become more sophisticated.”

“Looks like you have a way to suggest it. Such as dropping Potty from her throne.”

Hernán recalled that Marina had said that the power of the Poti and Sharpie coalition should be dropped.
She seemed to be thinking the same thing, and Marina answered right away.

“I will not deny it. It is a good opportunity.”

Ernan laughed bitterly.

“It was the saintess who asked to put Poti on the throne.”

“That…”

Her old memories made the saintess hesitate for a moment as if she was speechless.
Meanwhile, Hernán continued her speech.

“Of course, I also feel that the saintess is concerned because the Poti and Sharpie are firmly united. It’s a situation where two people have the power.”

“That doesn’t sound like a very good situation. Especially considering the situation we find ourselves in.”

The saintess glanced at her ceiling.

Are you talking about drinking?
Marina seems to suspect that the Demon King has a close relationship with the Demon God’s plan.

Well, if you think deeply, many of the conditions here are favorable to Sharpie, so your suspicions are reasonable.

Of course, it is difficult to explain such doubts in detail here, not even in the garden.
Because the Demon God can keep an eye on it.

“Anyway, I think there should be an appropriate rank demotion for those who do wrong.”

Marina quickly changed her words, perhaps to prevent the topic of her drinking.
He probably wanted to say more, but it seemed he wanted to avoid the Demon God listening.

“I’m sure Hernando didn’t intend to just give Poti an order not to do it.”

“Just giving orders won’t have much effect. Rather, it could lead to more shady attacks.”

When she heard an answer similar to what she had been saying, Marina reflexively nodded her head.
And she moaned in terrible pain in return.

“Ugh… Then what method will she use…”

“Are you very sick?”

Hernán walked over to Marina, who tensed her whole body muscles.

“Okay, it’s okay… Ugh!”

“Slowly. I will support you, so you can just lie down on the bed.”

Hernan propped up Marina and made her lie down on the bed.
Of course, it hurt her back slightly, but it wasn’t too much.

“Lady. First of all, I understand the meaning of the saintess. Anyway, the exact one will depend on Forty’s reaction tomorrow, so that’s for me to decide.”

“Hernan… Can’t we just expose it in front of everyone? Of course, it’s burdensome for Hernan, who is responsible for all the women, but shouldn’t other women also know?”

Marina said that she was overworked today, and she made a hard sound.

“Ugh… When everyone finds out, even Forty will not dare to do anything more dangerous.”

“All right. And it’s late at night. Please stop sleeping.”

She answered that she knew the saintess who was struggling and covered her with a blanket.

“Lady. Thank you for your hard work today.”

“… No. Hernán always works hard.”

The saintess, who was silent for a while, let out a long sigh and met Hernán’s eyes.

“Well, in the end, you are the one who moves and acts. Please let me know when the results come out tomorrow. If possible, I would like to talk to Hernan more about the situation here.”

“Neither do I.”

Hernan held the hand of the saintess, who was trembling.

“I also want to talk to the saintess. With Lenny.”

Marina stopped shaking her hand, as if she had forgotten her pain.

“Saintess, when her body gets better, it would be nice to sleep with her here.”

The expression on her saintess’s face, wrapped in her blonde hair, became at least a little more comfortable.

“I feel like I want to use at least a wish ticket so that I can get well soon.”

“It is the same.”

Hernan held Marina’s hand a little more.
After a while, after Marina fell asleep, Hernán came out.

Standing in the living room, he looked at the potty room on the other side.
And with a calm step, I entered Silnia’s room.

Anticipating that there would be no such tranquility tomorrow, it seemed that my steps would become more peaceful.

* * *

Poti entered the laboratory with Hernán with brisk steps.

“Sir, are you taking medicine in preparation for the birth of Silnia? Let me choose!”

Hernan nodded and followed Potty into the depths of the lab.

A scorched table was sitting there.

“Pain relievers, hemostatic agents, and that, muscle relaxants… Disinfection can be done with this.”

Potty opened his mouth as he rummaged through the litter of pills on his desk.

“Would you like to have some tea? The kids are with Sharpie and Yo, the hero. It’s still morning, so the kids won’t be doing much.”

“Is that so? I also have a tea I want to drink.”

Perhaps knowing that Hernan would refuse, Potty pricked up his ears.

“Yes? Gee, are you really going to drink tea? Are you alone with me?”

“Of course.”

Hernan smiled softly and sat in his chair.
Potty was delighted with each of Hernan’s actions and laughed.

“I really like it! It’s been so long since I’ve been spending time with L like this!”

“I know.”

Hernan answered briefly and tapped his desk with his finger.

Meanwhile, Poti, the wizard, raises the water and asks Hernan a question.

“What kind of tea would you like to have?”

“Mint.”

“Is it mint?”

Potty said, tilting her head.

“Yes, did you not like mint tea in the past?”

“Do you have any mint?”

“No!”

She reached for the shelf of her desk.

“Peppermint is a lot here…”

Potty stopped her words abruptly and fixed her eyes on her shelf.

“Forties?”

Not answering, she hurriedly scanned her shelf with her eyes.

“Uh, huh?”

“What are you looking for?”

“Oh, no… I was just surprised that it seemed a bit disorganized.”

Forty said so, but she rummaged through the vials on the shelf.
Hernan, who had been watching her, opened her mouth.

“Have you lost your medicine bottle?”

“It won’t be… It’s just that it’s been a while since I’ve been here, so I’m a bit confused, so soon…”

“No way.”

Hernán got up from her chair and put her hand under Potty’s armpit and lifted it up.

“Oh!”

“Would you like to sit in a chair?”

As I put Potty’s fluffy body down on her chair, she looked at Hernán with her dumbfounded face.
She twitched as if she didn’t know what her ears and tail were all about.
And that flinch soon spread to her face as well.

“Aren’t you missing this?”

“That, that!”

Hernan Two vials in her hands.

The paper is still attached.

“Sleeping pills for carine and general sleeping pills.”

Reading the words on the paper, Hernán hardened her expression.
Potty was also sweating profusely with a completely stiff face.

“Forties. Is there boiling water next to you?”

Hernán reached out to her and turned her light off.
And put the teacup on the desk where the two first met.

Pouring boiling water over it, Forty pointed to the mint in her hand.

“Can you put some mint in it? I want to drink mint tea today.”

Instead of answering, Potty squeezed a mint leaf.
