Chapter 3: Who is the Witch Herbalist?!

As promised, Van visited my house to teach me how to make the magicstone fertilizer.

“We only need basic Earth Magic for this,” he explained to me. “There’s a trick to it, but we don’t need to do anything more advanced.”

“Then you could’ve just written it down instead of coming here,” I mumbled.

“Did you say something?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Unlike at the co-ed ball, we couldn’t be left to our own devices today. Parfeil was at the corner of the room as a chaperone.

“Oh, I just realized that you’re alone today. What happened to all your friends?” I asked Van.

“I snuck away from them.”

“I’m surprised that they haven’t abandoned you by now,” I said, astounded by his persistence.

“Well, of course! I’m, uh, quite important, after all!”

“Yes, of course you are.”

I’d recently noticed that Van spoke with the tone of a proud noble, but it was mixed with the roughness of a teenage boy. It must have been the influence of the boys’ magic academy on him.

He almost sounds cute when he talks like a teenager.

I still had yet to get a proper glimpse at his face, and his background was a complete mystery to me. But no matter where he was from or who he really was, all I needed from him right now was for him to teach me how to make the magicstone fertilizer. I had browsed various reference materials regarding the fertilizer, but none of them were able to provide information on how to make it. Van’s social standing must have been high enough to have access to restricted books and materials, so I couldn’t help but envy him.

Still, I was glad that he was kind enough to share what he knew. At the very least, I wanted to express my gratitude to him for this opportunity.

“Oh yes, do you remember when we talked about the burdens that dragonkin women carry? I’ve been doing some research of my own since then,” Van told me. Apparently, mana depletion was a major cause of dragons going berserk while transformed. He had come up with the idea of giving something like my caramel candies to dragonkin men as a preventive measure.

“But Duchesse says that the matter isn’t that simple,” Van continued.

“Duchesse?”

“Yes, of House Langue de Chat.”

“Oh, your polite friend,” I commented.

“Yeah, that’s him.”

According to Duchesse Langue de Chat, simply restoring a dragon’s mana won’t suppress a berserk state. Only the Suppression Magic of dragonkin women was able to do so.

“Of course, feeding a dragon in his berserk state presents a problem in of itself,” Van remarked.

“You’re right, now that you mention it.”

It seemed that berserk states were a burden that both men and women needed to carry after all.

“What do you do when you go berserk?” I asked Van.

“I’ve been relying on one of my relatives, but her constitution is rather frail...”

According to Van, whenever she had used Suppression Magic, she had ended up bedridden for up to a month. Recently, they had been calling in a Sealing Enforcer before Van could go into a berserk state in order to pin him down.
