Chapter 14: Saving Yona (2)

Two days later.

Knock knock.

“A package has arrived from Estad Workshop. Please confirm.”

A person wearing a butler uniform brought a small box. I signed the paper he held out and sent him into the house.

“It arrived right on time. I was just craving latte.”

I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

Dark circles under my eyes reached my nose. My eyes were full of fatigue, and even now, a headache was pounding my head.

It was hard to study again, which I hadn’t done.

Especially the pressure.

Yona, who dies in the original work. The pressure that she would die if I didn’t create a variable was too severe.

So this is the result of pushing myself even more.

“I look terrible after only two days. It’s miserable.”

I roughly washed my sleep with water, and then I unpacked the box.

Inside was a kettle that looked exactly like the one I had previously drawn in my notebook.

To be precise, it’s a steamed milk maker.

There is a separate name, but it has a different shape from this. Let’s just call it milk for simplicity.

“Should I wash it once and use it?”

I put water in it and turned it on.

The operation method was simple.

After putting water in the kettle lid, press the button below and the water will boil automatically.

Bubble bubble bubble

When the status light turned white, I pressed the upper button, and steam spewed out from the strangely bent nozzle.

“Oh, it works.”

I immediately used it on the milk I took out of the refrigerator.

The principle of steamed milk is basically to heat the inside using steam.

Because steam bubbles up, unlike regular milk, a soft cream is formed.

I put the nozzle on the surface of the milk and pressed the button.

Bubble bubble bubble

Steam bubbles burst in the milk. When they were mixed around and no sound was heard, I removed the nozzle.

“Is it done?”

I poured it into a cup and drank it.

A creamier and richer taste than regular milk is felt.

“It’s perfect! Now all I have to do is pour it into the coffee, and it’s complete, but um. Should I drink latte or cappuccino?”

I thought for a moment.

Cappuccino is a coffee beverage that stands out with its rich coffee taste and the softness of the foam.

On the other hand, latte is a coffee beverage with a soft coffee taste and a creamy texture, and the flavor of steamed milk is strong.

Both have pros and cons.

“But latte is better, right?”

I like the rich taste of coffee, but I missed the savory and flavorful taste of steamed milk.

In the end, I mixed steamed milk and drip coffee.

Slurp.

I took a sip.

The savory taste of milk and the flavor of coffee were fully felt.

It’s definitely tastier than regular black coffee, but honestly, it’s disappointing.

“Is it because there’s no espresso machine? The lack of feeling is strong.”

Overall, the flavor of the coffee has decreased. But it’s difficult to make an espresso machine here, so I just moved on.

“Let’s go to work.”

I roughly changed my clothes and went out.

After doing it for over a week, I got used to it.

I turned on Geomdol and opened the curtains.

I piled the books I had placed in my room on the desk, sat down, and enjoyed the latte.

I was immersed in studying all day yesterday, so I can rest like this.

“But it’s delicious. I guess I’m a latte person.”

As I have liked milk since I was young, I liked anything with milk.

After a while.

At exactly 8 o’clock, the door opened and Emily appeared without fail.

White hair and white eyes. She was also studying hard, and she was holding coffee and the book I gave her.

“Welcome. Miss.”

“Yes. Thank you. But what is that?”

Emily pointed to the light brown coffee in my hand.

There was a tone full of anticipation.

“The machine arrived this morning. It’s a new coffee.”

“Then I…”

“I’ll bring it to you, so please wait.”

“Hmm~ Thank you.”

Emily tried to lower her smile and went to her seat. But I guess she can’t control herself from humming.

“As expected, she’s a character whose main concept is coffee. That’s why she falls for the hero.”

The hero brewed her various teas and coffees.

He used spices obtained from the magic realm to let her drink coffee that didn’t exist before, and that was the cause of her increased favorability.

It’s not like Emily, who overthrew the imperial family, would be swayed by just her face.

I chuckled at Emily’s more friendly appearance and brewed the latte.

I wanted to do latte art made with milk if possible, but it didn’t work because it was drip coffee.

“But the important thing is the taste.”

This will surely shock her.

Latte with steamed milk gives a completely different taste from existing coffee.

I brought the coffee.

“Thank you, I’ll drink it well.”

She closes her eyes and drinks slowly. Combined with the sunlight coming in through the window, it created a single pictorial.

‘Since Miss Rachel said it was delicious, it must be delicious, right?’

Emily took a sip with great anticipation.

The moment the light brown latte touched her lips, the ecstasy of a taste she had never felt before came over her.

“!”

‘Delicious! W, what is this? Is this the coffee I used to drink? How can it be so savory and soft?’

It’s a shocking taste.

Whether that was the case or not, her tongue was already craving the latte to feel the taste she had just felt again.

Of course, even that appearance was elegant.

After a while.

Emily, who had emptied the latte, calmed her excitement and opened her mouth.

“It’s really…delicious. You didn’t disappoint me.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Well, is there any other taste you want? You can add sugar or syrup according to your preference.”

“Then can you make it a little more savory?”

“Of course. I also like milk, so I often drink it, so we can make it together.”

Emily smiled contentedly and handed over the notebook she had been holding.

“Oh right. This is what I’ve learned from that book in two days. Please read it.”

“Yes? Wasn’t there a lot of it? In two days…”

“Hehe. I’ve done it a lot so far. It wasn’t that difficult either.”

Rachel looked through the notebook she handed her.

=====

[Kolkan Med]

Kolkan is a fever that mainly occurs in tropical regions. Symptoms include periodic high fever and headache at the same time.

The scary thing here is that this fever has an incubation period. So most sufferers die from periodic high fever without even knowing they have Kolkan Med.

The solution to this is…

[Mesraf Hongdu]

Mesraf Hongdu is a type of Hongdu, and red spots appear on the body. If not treated properly, the spots gradually spread all over the body, and eventually, even the pupils turn red.

Mesraf Hongdu is not very lethal, so it’s not something to be careful about.

The treatment is simple. Find the species named Mesraf. Combine the egg of that species with an herb called Paraf and apply it to the spot area.

It is a strong herb, so it cannot be applied to the pupils. So the key is to catch it before it spreads to the pupils.

=====

What Rachel gave to Emily was a book about Kolkan and Mesraf Hongdu.

She summarized the concept, solution method, and symptoms appropriately and wrote them well.

“Will it be helpful?”

“Of course. It’s almost time for other people to come, so I’ll go first.”

I took the notebook and sat down at the desk. And then I took out all kinds of herbs in my head and started combining them with each other.

So, after a while.

A few combinations came to mind.

All of them were revealed in the future, and in the future, the medical level will be quite high due to the civil war and the demon king’s invasion.

Maybe it’s among these?

Rachel asked Emily as the library was about to close.

“By the way, can I use herbs and alchemy workshops?”

“It’s because of Yona, right? Use it. No. Shall we go right now?”

“Then thank you, but will Miss come with me? It won’t be very fun, and you’re busy.”

“Still, there must be someone to supervise.”

So Rachel closed the library and headed to the alchemy workshop with Emily.

“Most of the herbs and ingredients are here, so you can use them as much as you want. The alchemist is away for a while, but he’ll be here soon.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s for Yona. Shall I help you too?”

Rachel politely refused Emily’s offer to smile warmly. How can the person who will become the owner of the duchy suffer in a place like this.

Moreover, alchemy workshops are as dangerous as blacksmith workshops.

Basically, there may be poisonous herbs or insects that parasitize herbs, so if Emily is poisoned.

Gulp.

She will be torn to pieces by Delkarmen.

The youngest daughter is also sick with an unknown disease, and the eldest daughter is also like that? And Emily is the person who will succeed the family’s heir.

It’s fortunate to be simply torn to death.

Because I don’t have the thought to die so vainly, Rachel bowed her head and apologized, then headed to the warehouse.

Of course, Rachel didn’t notice Emily’s stiff expression.

But that was also for a moment. Emily, who is used to acting, put on a friendly smile and sat down on a nearby chair.
