They stopped by towns sometimes in that fashion, but most of their journey was spent trekking across fields.

When they walked all day, they took long lunch breaks, and Chris gave them some lessons on plant-gathering. It didn’t sit quite right with Sara to be learning alongside Ted, but Nelly and Allen went off to hunt monsters during their breaks, so her only options were to pick plants on her own or to do so with Chris and Ted. That she didn’t even consider just lazing about in the grass was a testament to Sara’s diligent nature.

Still, she wasn’t exactly envious of Allen for getting to hang out with Nelly. She knew if she said she wanted to participate in their hunts or training, Nelly would be thrilled. But Sara didn’t want to be a Hunter, so she avoided joining in on their activities as a matter of principle.

Chris was teaching her to gather plants that weren’t listed in the guide she had. According to him, that guide contained only a quick list of the plants that would be easy for any layman to gather, and there were actually plenty of other materials that went into potion-making.

“I already suspected from how you only ever brought in plants of good quality, but you’ve got a real eye for identifying plants, Sara.”

“Once I get used to spotting them, they kind of stand out from the rest of the plants around them.”

Even in places where there were a ton of people, if you were a student, your eyes would naturally find people in school uniforms, and if you were job-hunting, you’d naturally spot people in suits. When she was looking for certain plants, she found them easy to pick out from the rest. It was something like that.

“I’ve handled them while making potions at the Apothecary’s Guild, but this is my first time gathering these. They’re much fresher than what I usually work with. If we made potions right here, would the quality of the brew change?”

Ted was asking such diligent questions. Sara had to hide her face since she was desperately trying not to laugh. Ted’s sucking his teeth at her as her shoulders trembled was just like the usual Ted. “What?” he asked.

“Nothing?”

Having a studious discussion like this was kinda fun with the vibrant green grass all around them.

“The freshness doesn’t affect the efficacy of the potion, but you can get a lot more out of fresher plants. I believe you should have learned that.”

“Yes, I just thought there might be things I wouldn’t know if I didn’t try them myself.”

Chris considered this quietly for a moment. “Well, we’ve been gathering plants during our breaks, but you can do whatever you like with this time, really.”

“Right! I’ll try it next time.”

As Ted excitedly searched for plants in a different spot, Chris watched him, muttering, “Was he always this proactive?”

So Ted was acting differently from usual.

Chris sighed and turned to Sara, and then, of all things, he said this to her: “Once we get to Camellia, we’ll have to get you a set of potion-brewing gear as well.
