He stood up from the messy pile of medicinal materials, then dusted himself off and said, "Just wait a moment...let me clean it up."
Looking at the mess, I sighed and said, "Let's come together. It doesn't seem right to let the employer clean up alone."
"Hug, sorry." The blond Shota apologized in a panic.
After that, I helped tidy up the messy store.
The store is not big, with a counter and a lot of cabinets already packed to the brim, but this is not the main problem.
Just on the counter, there was a tall stack of books, which made him look even smaller.
"Hello, my name is Thurio." He stretched out his hand and said shyly, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
It's a little surprising... Because we are an employer and a temporary employee, the relationship is actually just plain water in most cases. It is actually rare for an employer like Thurio to be familiar with him.
Probably because I'm still a teenager...
However, it is really surprising that he is already a pharmacist at this age.
After all, the profession of pharmacist attaches great importance to the accumulation of experience. Without knowledge of medicinal materials, it is difficult to prepare the correct medicine.
"It doesn't matter." I said, "Anyway, let's start the mission?"
"Ah ah ah, okay!" Thurio hurriedly picked up the backpack next to him and said, "I'm ready, we can set off now!"
"Check, isn't there anything missing?" Judging from the look on his face... he was really worried about remembering something he hadn't taken and then turning back.
"The knife has been put in the backpack, and I have memorized all the knowledge in the book, so except for a little medicine to prevent snake venom-"
His smile froze instantly.
"So I didn't take it..." I said helplessly.
"I'm really sorry!"
Usually it’s the adventurers who apologize to their employers, so why is it the other way around here...
Before I left, I didn't know why I always felt like someone was staring at me, but when I turned on my perception, this feeling disappeared immediately, so I didn't pay much attention to it and just regarded it as my illusion.
The forest is some distance from Wells, so we chatted while having nothing to do on the way.
"I was surprised at first when I found out that Thurio was already a pharmacist at such a young age."
So I used this sentence as my opening remarks.
"Because the elders in the family are also pharmacists, so I have been educated by the family since I was a child." Thurio touched his head with some embarrassment and said, "But my talent is really a bit low. The names and identification methods of those medicinal materials It took me two or three years to fully remember it. Even so, there were times when I admitted my mistakes in the early years and was scolded by my grandfather."
"That's it...but in this case, I didn't seem to see any of the elders in your family just now?" I said with some confusion.
Thurio's face stiffened for a moment, and then he said, "My parents...went out to work when they were very young, and they haven't come back yet. My grandfather has always been the one who raised me up, but he is really too old." Now that it’s a big business, I’m basically left to handle the store’s affairs.”
"……Feel sorry."
"It's okay." Thurio scratched his cheek awkwardly and said, "How should I put it, my impression of my parents is really vague, because they left when I was young, so others heard about this and apologized. I didn’t have much real feeling when I was born, except knowing that it was the person who gave birth to me.”
"It's sad in a sense..." he said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
In order to forcefully pull the topic out of the inexplicably sad atmosphere, I abruptly changed the topic and asked, "Speaking of which, why do you want to pick the medicinal herbs yourself? There is no shortage of medicinal herb sellers in places like Wales." ?”
"That's because..." Thurio's face turned red for a moment, and finally he said, "Because the ready-made medicinal materials are too expensive, so I thought of picking them myself.
