Life with my Little Sister

Episode 343: Mud Comes (Part 9)

While Alto Cramput and Abel were on night watch, Aretta wasn't having a comical time either.

She was also thinking of a number of measures.

The main thing, of course, is to make special effects.

But this one didn't deliver as well as I thought.

Even though Abel gave me samples, I couldn't find a hitter against this parasitic species.

That's because this life was created by alchemy.

In the case of artificially created organisms, the resistance class can also be enhanced or conferred in some circumstances.

Even if Aletta is an excellent pharmacist, her knowledge remains to the extent inherited by modern times.

But the ability of this parasitic species was created by knowledge that transcended modern technological capabilities.

She doesn't know that yet.

Therefore, within her knowledge, there are only a limited number of events that can be dealt with.

As a result, we were unable to restrain the odd bouncing beam.

The next thing Aletta thought about was' identifying the suspect '.

I thought about finding someone to spread the embryos of the parasitic species apart.

As things stand, the flow route of the embryo is unclear, and it's quicker to catch the killer and get him to spit information than he can make an antidote.

This, in a way, is also the shortest route to the right answer.

But the suspicious information didn't come up.

Visiting the village for a long time is not seen as suspicious, and on the contrary, the adventurers of the flowers can all look suspicious and cloudy.

In the end, there's nothing else than to check it out with your own eyes.

But she is busy developing new drugs and researching samples.

In addition, he didn't have enough time or hands because he continued to take care of the herbal fields.

Besides, my body has been constantly lazy lately and I'm short of breath about a little something. Because of my mind, my eyesight strikes me as well.

After taking care of paddy fields in such a state, breathing on his shoulders, there are those who come running.

"Dear Aletta!

It was the original owner of this herbal field, the young daughter of a man now lying on the hospital bed.

She misses Aletta so much because she takes care of her father's medical and medicinal herbs.

"Lato. You can't run, can you? The scaffolding around here is not very solid."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Hey! More than that, listen! A customer is coming to my house today!

"Customer?"

Girl - When I heard about Lato, he said it was an old acquaintance of his father.

Especially since it's a rural village, most people know each other.

"The person - Uncle Ditto said," I often show my face to other villages, and I used to do research on plants and stuff, so I want Aletta. "- Ho? I mean, you might know something!

"I hope so."

If you know a sick person and have powerful information, you should be acting to solve it.

Yet things are not getting better.

In other words, to say that I have low hopes.

In particular, Aletta thought she didn't have to bother telling this young girl about it.

"Well, I guess I'll see you at the master's."

"Seeking? What?

To Aletta's words, Ratto tilted his neck slightly.

The dating ditty man looked like a peasant, without any particular philosophy.

When asked about his profession, he was immediately returned as "a peasant".

When I asked if I had a past where I was doing some research, this is how I came back.

"No, I did some research over there when I was younger because more crop yields would help. In the end, it was concluded that amateur plants and fertilizers could not go beyond the selling products in the city. Especially when it comes to nutrients for the field that the Elves Chamber of Commerce sells."

"Huh. Of course."

"If even my development would have been a bit of a battle, it would still have been different."

When the man scratched his head, Lato asked in wonder.

"But, Dad, Uncle Ditt praised you for being very smart, right? There's no such smart guy in a nearby village."

"Lato's father, because he's a good guy...... Some things are a little too complimentary."

Ditt laughed lightly, then explained to Aletta.

"I'm the typical 'best in the region' type. The guidelines have been quite good since I was a kid, so I'm proud of the village - how dare you look at me? Parents, relatives, at the end of the day, everyone in the village gave me money to put me in a city school. The research I said earlier, well, it was there."

But, he goes on.

"A frog in a well was exactly what I meant. When I went out to the city, there was no such thing as a smarter guy than me. So, oh, this is no good."

"So I went back to the peasants."

"Well, I feel sorry for you, but by saying you've delivered where you can."

Ditt laughed hahahaha.

"But everyone in the village said they were helping thanks to Uncle Ditt, right?

"Then I'm glad. I'm sorry if I didn't repay you at all."

Aletta reacted to the word giving back.

"Give it back... What the hell are you doing in return?

"I'm just helping with the knowledge I learned at school. Specifically, the repair of the water wheel, the new development of the waterway, and then it's made by amateurs and it's bad, but you distribute fertilizer."

Didn't you just say we couldn't beat elf fertilizer?

"Yeah, you can't win. Because it is not enough to be sold. But even in a country like this, it's a crude product I made, because it's a big difference if it's not there. If it helps everyone in the village, it's more than that."

Honestly, I didn't think the conversation with Ditt meant much to Aletta.

I don't care if he stands at the service of the village or not, but honestly, I don't care.

What I want is a thread for case resolution.

"Let me change the story, shall I? Do you have any leads on a series of odd cases?

"If I knew, I'd run into the village chiefs and the city's leading men and doctors."

Ditt returned it with a straight face.

That was a serious look.

"So you don't have any suspicious sightings or anything? I don't mind any little things?

"Even if they say so... Honestly, other than adventurers passing nearby for some reason, it's all the same mentz, including the merchants...... By the way, how do you get from an odd disease to a suspicious person?

"I'm just thinking a lot. For example, maybe the cause of the odd disease is poison or something?

"Poison!? Is that true!?"

"For example, you say. We're exploring possibilities to solve it."

"Oh, really...... But even if it's poisonous, it won't be possible to discover suspicious people in such a grassy place. Even if we mobilize all the villagers to keep an eye on them, they will surely tease the eyes of the siege."

Only in the countryside, there are as many places around where you can hide yourself.

Aletta understands that, too.

Even if there are suspicious people, you won't want to discover them.

"Well, I'll leave the suspicious case to you. I hope you're not offended, but assuming it's poison, and you're an insider, how many people are likely to be able to do evil?

On the question, Ditt flaunted his shoulder. He seemed to be smiling bitterly.

"That's 'everyone'. The village's work is helpful, and it's not uncommon to have daughter-in-law's home or friends in a nearby village, so it's no surprise that there are Gosh and Selkat people in this Rülling village. And vice versa, yes. Also, many people go to the mountains to pick up wild rabbits and mountain vegetables, so you wouldn't expect anyone to behave suspiciously if you see them there."

…………

Rural in the countryside is a community of destiny.

Unless even hostile at the convenience of a lord or in a water quarrel, it basically accommodates the workforce.

Three villages, an epidemic of odd diseases in particular, were better united than before.

This makes it difficult to identify suspicious people.

When Aletta shruggedly silenced him, Ditt also wanted to give him some information.

Put your arms together and think.

And eventually he spoke up.

"Ah...... There are others who come to the village."

"Who?"

"Oh, no...... But he would never do anything wrong..."

"So who is it? Who the hell is that?
