Lecan delivered barrels packed full with medicine to several pharmacists together with Jericho.
It's Shira-made medicine from the one Lecan helped making after the first herb gathering session back then.
Every stores was celebrating like they were about to cry. Since they had run out of Shira's medicine and couldn't respond to their customers' demands.
While Lecan was busy transporting the medicine in and out, Eda was getting a lecture on , he found out many already spoiled or nearing expiration. He threw away the spoiled ones and gave the rest to the inn to be cooked.
Lecan chewed down the cooked food while drinking strong liquor aplenty before falling asleep like a log.
"Oh my, what's wrong with you, Lecan. You look kind of worn-out."
"I went to the orphanage."
"Oh that's, good work there. Were you with Eda-chan?"
"No, Eda should be shopping around and cleaning the house now."
"Did you give her money?"
"...No.
"Don't forget to give her, okay."
"Yeah."
"So, how was it at the orphanage."
"Made them cry."
"Hee?"
"The kids cheered out loud the moment they saw me, then they swarmed on me."
"Isn't that nice. They love you. You sure are popular from just one visit before."
"If it was swarming me, I would have exterminated every last one."
"Why would you exterminate the orphanage you went to offer service at."
"I know. Hence, I kept myself from drawing my sword."
"That's only natural. And then?"
"Afterward, they all asked me to squat down."
"Hee?"
"So I did since refusing them would be too much trouble."
"Ah."
"Then the children started climbing on my head and shoulders."
"I can just picture that."
"They fell down one after another since they were jostling around. Catching them gently was really challenging."
"How hard could that be with reflexes as good as yours."
"I would have crushed them if I got too rough, took me a considerable control."
"Ah, I see now."
"They're loud."
"Hum?"
"Children are loud. Boundlessly so."
"Yes well, that's just how they are."
"Shrill voices kept resounding on and on right next to my ears. That must have been a type of mental attack."
"Of course not."
"Then they clamored me to walk."
"Well, that's how the order goes."
"I was thinking. It would take too long if they went at it one at a time."
"Hum? So?"
"I walked with five children at a time. The other kids followed after me. My legs had a kid clinging on them each."
"My my, I'm amazed you managed that. I guess it's thanks to your size. It must have been quite a spectacle to the kids."
"There were 29 children in total. It was over after six laps."
"Congrats."
"But that wasn't the end of it."
"Hee?"
"Just when I thought it was finally over, the children said. 'One more time'."
"Oh my"
"After the third lap was over, I immediately took a red potion out of and gulped it down."
"I don't think that's quite right."
"One of the children said this when they saw me doing that. 'Where's our snacks'."
"It must've looked like a candy to them. I mean, it's red and all."
"I recalled something. A bag of cake I got at Zaikaz Company."
"Each of us did receive a bag then."
"I took that out and began giving out the content. The children kicked up a fuss like they all went crazy. That must have been a type of Berserk transformation."
"No no, I don't think it is."
"But then, something terrible occurred."
"Hee. This gets more interesting the more I listen somehow."
"There were only 25 pieces. Of the cake."
