Chapter 91 – Chapter 3: Pure Hands – 3
The next day.
Tia nursed next to the hospital bed all day.
It wasn’t until dinner time that she was finally able to go to the general store.
As promised, Posao proudly said that he had obtained all the necessary medicinal ingredients in one day.
Tia was so happy that she ran around.
Chin.
What Posao took out was a little different from what he had imagined.
Tia’s once bright face turned into embarrassment.
“… What is this?”
“T, this is the medicine Tia asked for.”
“Just… “Isn’t it black water?”
It was literally.
The glass bottle placed on the table was full of black water.
It might have been as shiny as obsidian, but the turbidity looked dirty, like water wrung out of an old rag.
Even her unknown impurities were floating around inside.
Posao began to explain step by step about this ‘black medicine’ that did not look like a medicine at all.
“I heard this is a medicine mixed with various herbs… Tia said it contains the medicine you want. Asugera, Hee, White Tail… There is also Cheonjinju…”
“…”
Tia quietly lifted the vial.
A stunned face was reflected on her black surface.
“Mister. I’m sorry… “I can’t use this.”
“Why, why?”
“Medicines must be made by combining pure forms. “If a new drug is made from drugs that have already been mixed, its effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.”
It was the correct answer.
Tia didn’t have much experience making medicine, but she knew a lot of thanks to going to the pharmacy every day.
This level of problem was easy to catch.
“Well, I see…”
Posao also lost strength.
He spoke with slumped shoulders.
Actually, I couldn’t find any medicine… “It’s all gone, and I don’t have anything left.”
It is said that he walked around Taildon all day looking for a thousand pearls, and even knocked on the doors of his lodgings to ask the peddlers.
It is said that they even went to the upper camp on the outskirts of the village and asked about it, but the only clue they found was this ‘mixed medicine’ containing a trace amount of pure pearl.
The explanation was that by adding crushed Asgera stamens and whitetail flowers, it became a medicine that contained ‘everything necessary.’
Tia touched her forehead in sadness.
It might have been useful if she hadn’t mixed the ingredients.
At one o’clock in a hurry, something so absurd happened that my face darkened.
Posao glanced at me and trailed off.
“Sorry… Well, I did something pointless…”
“Oh, no! That could be because you don’t know much about medicine.”
“Because I am ignorant… Putting Tia in trouble…”
“I can’t believe I’m in trouble! Not at all! Anyway, I’m really grateful for your help!”
Tia waved her hand desperately.
I guess he did it because he wanted to help. I didn’t necessarily want to rebuke you.
Above all, those good intentions were wrong.
Contrary to my intention, I end up ruining the work.
The feeling of being scolded by others, being judged, and constantly feeling anxious…
Because Tia knows it very well.
She could never do that.
“First, I’m going to make medicine with this today. You never know, right? I wonder if it will really work!”
“Huh…”
I snatched up the black medicine bottle and put it in my bag.
“I’ll ask for the mixed medicine that said to contain Cheonjinju next time. “Do not mix with other ingredients.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“Then I’ll come again next time!”
As soon as Tia went up to her village, she went straight to the pharmacy.
After preparing to make recovery medicine in earnest.
Manufacturing has begun.
In a moment.
“Cough! Cough!”
I definitely made it as instructed in the recipe, but something was strange.
The color of the medicine was pitch black, and more than anything, the smell was very unpleasant.
I thought it might have been manufactured incorrectly, so I made it again, but the result was the same.
It was a strange thing.
Most of the medicines made by Ritz were pretty and had a nice scent.
Perhaps it was due to lack of skill or the use of an unidentified mixed medicine, but there was a bad smell.
Tia tilted her head as she looked at the bubbling black medicine.
“This… Is it really okay to eat it?”
The smell was so deadly that I thought it might have been poison.
But I don’t want to waste the Cheonjinju that I worked so hard to obtain.
In the end, Tia decided to taste it first.
“Ugh-!”
Sure enough.
The fishy taste made me nauseous, and even though I tried to hold it in and push it down my throat, it was sticky, and I couldn’t swallow it well.
“Ha… Ha…”
Tia, with tears in her eyes, concluded, ‘You can just eat it.’
First, he didn’t die.
The effect was so strong that as soon as I drank the medicine, I felt my insides racing.
Another fortunate thing was that Ritz was sleeping very deeply.
Even though I scooped up that disgusting medicine and put it in my mouth, I drank it without feeling nauseous.
The next day, I made the same medicine and gave it to him.
The effect was very outstanding.
Ritsu, who had been unconscious, quickly opened his eyes and woke up.
It had been about two days since I fainted.
Tia, who was worried that she would have to wait for an indefinitely long time, was very happy.
Ritz said she was able to come to her senses thanks to the remarkable effects of her medicine.
However, they scolded him for being horribly tasteless and smelling bad.
Anyway, this proved that the drug was effective.
Tia headed to the general store again to get her medicine.
Knock. Knock.
She knocked and waited like always.
Immediately, I stopped hearing footsteps coming from inside.
“… “Aren’t you there?”
But when I put my hand on the door and pushed it, the door opened.
If you don’t lock the door, it means there’s a man there.
Is there something busy going on?
Tia didn’t want to rush him, so she didn’t call Posao.
She was sitting quietly in her chair, waiting for her owner to appear.
Squeak-. Squeak.
Inside the quiet general store, a slightly disturbing noise came to her ears.
“… ?”
Tia lifted her head.
It was a sound that had weight for a rat moving around.
Also, for something he was doing, it was very regular.
Tia suddenly became curious and got up from her seat.
I slowly walked towards the sound.
It was on the second floor, where the uncle’s bedroom was.
Squeak- Squeak-.
As you climb the stairs one step at a time.
The sound got louder and louder.
What are you doing?
No way… Are you cleaning the room?
If so, it would be a huge deal!
If a lazy and slow man decided to clean… It’s something to praise!
When I listened closely, it seemed like that.
This regular beat was similar to the sound of wiping the floor with a mop.
“Hehe-.”
Tia laughed bitterly.
She pretended to be surprised and giggled at the thought of asking the cleaning man what had happened and whether he had a crush on a girl.
With my heart pounding, I placed my hand on the doorknob.
Click.
And the moment you apply force to open the door.
Kkeikik-.
A very alien scene was reflected in the red eyes filled with great anticipation.
“… Uh.”
“…”
The uncle’s room remained in my memory.
The floor was completely dirty with trash, like a pig pen, and the bad smell everywhere was the same.
… Likewise, Uncle Posao was also in that room.
Normally, it would have ended with just a slight frown on her face.
What Tia saw… It was a very shocking sight.
Posao, with his pants down, was sitting on his bed and grabbing his dick.
Like the ‘black medicine’ that Cheon Jin-ju took.
Very black hair grows thickly between the legs.
Something big and ugly was sticking out between the fur.
I was so shocked that I didn’t dare say anything.
The accident literally stopped.
My eyes were glued to that shocking and terrible image.
“…”
The end of a short yet long period of silence.
Tia, who came to her senses, instinctively covered her mouth in rising embarrassment.
Posao, who had a grim expression on his face, also came to his senses and hurriedly put on his pants.
“T, Tia… ! This, this…”
“Aaaaak-!”
Tia quickly turned her head and ran away.
In an attempt to explain something, Posao said in a pitiful voice, ‘Wait a minute!’ And jumped forward, tripping over her pants that were halfway up her thighs.
“Wow!”
Uddangtang!
Tia, startled, looked behind her.
“Mister?!”
“Nooooo!”
The sight of Posao lying on the ground was truly miserable.
He couldn’t wear his pants properly, so his buttocks were exposed, and he couldn’t even control his heavy body while he was falling, so his face was bleeding.
“Mister!”
Tia hesitated for a moment, then she ran to Po Sao.
She asked urgently, wiping her nosebleed with the sleeve of her own clothes.
“Are your knees okay? “Isn’t your nose broken?”
“Naaaaa- Oh, no. It’s a little scratched…”
I helped her up, so she could get up.
Tuk.
Tia sucked in her breath upon seeing ‘it’ still visible outside of her.
… It’s so big that it’s scary.
That’s what I thought.
* * *
After the series of disturbances calmed down.
The two sat across from each other at the table.
Of course, nothing was said, and everyone’s eyes were looking in different directions.
The atmosphere was so awkward that I was embarrassed to open my mouth.
After a long time, Posao spoke first.
“That… “Are you here to pick up medicine?”
Tia, who was looking at the floor with her arms crossed, nodded her head.
“… Yes.”
“Stay here.”
There was a black medicine brewed with Cheonjinju and a pouch containing other ingredients.
“Hey, what happened to the medicine? Did it go well?”
“Ah yes! The medicinal effect was very good! Ritz also said that he felt better! Fortunately, I think it will get better soon.”
“Well, I see… Thank god. Tia is good at making medicine…”
“Hehe-.”
Posao scratched his head.
“But… That was earlier…”
I managed to relieve the awkward atmosphere, but in the end, ‘that incident’ came up again.
“I-I’m sorry… I didn’t know it was time for Tia to come… Doing something like that…”
“No. I opened the door on my own. It’s my carelessness. Rather, I was afraid that he might get hurt.”
“I’m afraid you might hate me… I was scared. So, I’ll stop trying to explain…”
Tia quickly shook her head.
“No… This is my uncle’s house… Something like that… Ha, you can…”
Tia closed her eyes tightly and dyed her ears red.
“Ah, anyway! It was an accident so it never happened! “I didn’t see it either!”
“Eww… Ugh.”
“…”
Tia closed her mouth and lowered her head.
We safely conclude with a misunderstanding. We even laughed at each other.
Why?
The awkward atmosphere did not go away.
It’s easy to say let’s just forget about it now.
The shocking scene that kept appearing in her mind did not go away easily.
It’s as if you can still see the black marks that appear after briefly looking at the sunlight.
My uncle’s place kept flashing before my eyes.
It was a time when I was wondering what to say, so I could leave the general store cleanly.
“Thank you. Tia.”
Posao said in a gloomy voice.
“Me… Oh, I don’t have a wife… I lived here alone for over forty years… These days, Tia comes by often… I was so happy. But I’m afraid that because of what happened just now, you’ll start hating me again… I was so scared…”
“No! There’s no way I could hate you!”
“… I guess I even did ‘that kind of thing’ to Tia.”
“…”
Tia was silent for a moment.
But she soon shook her head.
“No. Jeon…”
She could have hated it though.
Now Tia no longer had any doubts.
“… “I understand you.”
The fluffy voice of a chick was extremely pure.
The same thing she just saw.
Even the things she did to herself when she was young.
When Posao said that he would understand and forgive everyone, he slowly raised his head.
With an inspired face like a believer facing an angel who came down from the sun.
She asked.
“Then…”
