In this forest, soma and the others are early in the morning.

That's simply because there's nothing to do at night.

Then you will inevitably sleep early at night, and this will inevitably wake up early again in the morning.

That's all... but apparently it was going to be a thing of the past, too.

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Soma"

I just ran into Felicia as I woke up and headed to the room used as my living room.

I've known since I was suffering from muscle pain that Felicia's morning was only a little earlier than Soma's.

It's not uncommon to see each other like this here to get up and out, or to be greeted.

But there was a clear difference between then and now.

It's the same thing that Felicia looks a little sleepy... but no matter how you look at it now, it's because she hasn't slept, but it was a dead one.

"My life is certainly good morning...... would Felicia be different? Are you up all night again?

"I have no choice. Because there are so many things you want to try, so many things to try."

The reason Felicia is having this happen is because, again, needless to say, I don't know if Soma can decrypt that witch's book... but she has revealed its contents anyway.

There is a huge number of knowledge sleeping there, and Felicia is working hard to make it her own.

I guess I can say it's a good thing Felicia didn't get depressed as a result...... well.

"I know you do, but don't push it too hard, okay?

Just at least, Soma wasn't going to stop it.

Because I can understand that feeling very well.

If you had what you were looking for and you got the knowledge to get there, it would be stupid not to put it into practice.

"I know. I was just about to go to bed today."

"Hmm... it's been completely reversed day and night."

"Well, in many ways, this is the best."

The truth is, that word is true.

Felicia's most current focus is on the formulation of medicines, but apparently the majority of them are done from night to morning to maximize their effectiveness.

That's why it's been about this long since I finished conditioning... and then...

"Well, I'm sorry, thank you again today. I wrote down what I needed."

"Um, I understand. If there's anything else like that, you can get it, right?

"Right, please"

When she said that and gave Soma something like parchment, Felicia lowered her head and quickly returned to her room.

I was somewhat flustered, and I guess I got drowsy all at once because I was done doing it.

Dropping off that figure, Soma drops her gaze on what was given to her, and snorts at her.

What was written there was the name of the material that seemed necessary for the formulation.

"Well, I don't know if I can find it, but let's try our best."

But before that, first breakfast, Soma left the room behind.

A soma who could read everything that was written in the Book of Witches, but not all of it could be understood.

Sometimes there were unexplained terms for whether it was daring or what, and above all, the problem was with the formulation of the medication.

Of course, the method of formulation, the name and efficacy of the medicine, and what to pay attention to, were often not written about the specific characteristics of the materials needed for it.

Some were written, and some Felicia knew.

Some of them are what Soma knows.

But most of them still didn't know exactly what it was like.

It seems that what Felicia knows was taught to her by a previous generation of witches, so I guess it was meant to be communicated there in an oral biography.

Perhaps in case the Book of Witches has been read by anyone other than the Witch.

That's what makes Felicia struggle... well, I can't help it.

Either way, so what Felicia is currently doing is more about identifying the material to be used for it than about the formulation itself.

Naturally, it's very plain and very difficult.

Anyway, if we don't actually combine it, it's as if we don't know if it's right or wrong.

It's also dangerous... but it seems very rewarding.

Though he began to look closely at his tired face, at the same time his face was much more lively than before.

And in doing so, Soma collects materials.

Technically, it's about looking for and collecting things that you can guess and think of because of the names, the characteristics of the medicines that can be used to formulate them.

Or somehow, if I find something that looks like a material that I could use for something, I collect it. Well, whatever it is, this one is also very pervasive, but as a soma individual, I enjoyed it a lot.

It was like an associative game, and if I could find it well, it would be a reward to Felicia.

I had a good free time, and in many ways it was just fine.

By the way, all that Felicia was saying, it's on here, too.

While Felicia is asleep, she finds what Soma thinks of as material.

"Well, yeah, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well.

Whimpering about that, I pick up something like a flower that was at my feet.

It's a strange thing, but that's why.

At first glance, that means it could fall under any material.

That's not saying anything unfounded.

In the first place, this is a forest of witches.

It can't be that flower seeds fly from somewhere else than isolated from the outside world, etc.

And according to Felicia's story, there was a witch living here for at least five generations.

Most of what exists here, then, is likely to be actually used as some kind of material.

It would be well worth a try.

Of course, if there's anything I can tell you that you don't have to do that...

"It's just famous wherever I see it, and that's just how easy it is -"

And it was then that I found it.

Doubt your own eyes for a moment, but for sure.

That 's--

"That's why I found something like this."

"What is this... Mandragola, right?

Yes, it was that famous mandragola that Soma found.

Naturally, the Book of Witches also lists medicines that used it, and it seems highly effective.

To undoubtedly the greatest achievement ever, Soma is good at giving it away.

"... I've never seen it either, but I don't think there's anything like it. I often find something like this............... yeah? No, wait a minute, please.... I'm glad they found you, how did you take this?

"How can it be normal?

"... I also naturally know the nature of Mandragola. If you hear the voice when pulling it out, you will die. I don't think so, but... I endured that, didn't I...?

"No, that just won't be possible"

I don't know what it actually is, but maybe if I hadn't done anything about it, Soma would die, too.

I don't even feel like I can handle it if my hands are free, but then I'd be more sure to block my ears.

And as a matter of course, there's no way we're counteracting that that was suddenly found.

"So how did you take it?

"Yeah? No, it's not that hard, is it? If the time to pull it out is a problem, we just have to pull it out in the first place."

Specifically, it blew up on the ground.

With a wooden stick that was falling around there because I threatened to overdo it with the sword I was taking just in case.

".................. please wait a minute"

"Wait as long as you can, but was there such a troubling element somewhere in the current story?

"Right, it's weird at the time of the idea, and I don't think the ground would blow up where I used the stick of wood in the first place..."

"It's easy to blow up for you, isn't it?

"Normally it doesn't blow up"

"Is that so...?

Instead, it blew up too much, and I failed three times.

"So normally...... wait, what do you mean three times?

"Meaning as it is, though? Speaking of which, you didn't apologize about it. No, actually, I had found four in total, but the other three failed a lot and blew every ground. I'm sorry I wasted precious material."

"No... that, that's... ha"

Apologizing about that failure that way, but getting sighed out, well, would be irresistible.

Anyway, Mandragola is supposed to be really valuable.

If you have wasted all three of them, it is only natural that you should be frightened.

"That's not what I meant... apparently, I wasn't there yet, either, is it? I was somewhat anticipating it from words and deeds...... I didn't know this was it...... Well, at the end of the day, is it good to know? Or maybe you shouldn't have known."

"... yeah? What's the last thing you mean?

It wasn't disturbing......

That was a very natural tone.

It's like you're saying the obvious thing, and it's...

"Yes? What are you talking about? Mr. Soma's leaving here tomorrow, isn't he? So the last thing I'm saying is, I don't think anything's wrong."

Again, as a matter of course, Felicia uttered those words.
