Cheat Pharmicist's Slow Life ~Making a Drug Store in Another World~

Chapter 31: Kirio Drug’s Company Vacation (Second half)

◆Side Other◆

“Attention everyo-ne!”

In the port town of San Rogulo, a Sister stood on top of an empty box, waving her hands and calling out to all the people around her.

When everyone’s gazes were on her, the Sister raised her voice gently once again.

“At this moment, Sister Vardora has an important announcement at the church-! It won’t take too much of your time. That being the case, everyone, please make sure to come-!”

There was quite a few people who had stopped to listen.

People usually don’t show interest in things that they’re not involved in.

These are probably people who have had their fortunes told by Sister Vardora or bought medicine from her.

“Now then, this way~. Let us proceed together-.”

The Sister leapt lightly off the empty box and walked, leading the way to the church.

There were over 50 people who followed her.

The sister looked over her shoulder to check all of them were following her.

She met eyes with a young man with black hair in the very back and nodded.

(–Alright, it’s going according to plan so far…)

◆Side Other◆

Bang bang ba-ng!

Bang bang ba-ng!

The church doors were struck many times as Sister Vardora counted yesterday’s earnings.

“What is it? How noisy…

She put her earnings in the bag packed with the easy earnings she’d earned from this town, clicked her tongue once, and stood up from her seat.

“Even though it’s an abandoned church so it should be fine to enter as you please.”

Her grumbling complaints resounded well throughout the empty church.

She’s earned enough from this town.

Today, she should go to another town.

It’s past time for the matter about the ‘panacea’ to be found out.

That’s why, just for today she’d like to be excused from troublesome matters, but it doesn’t seem like that will be the case.

When she opened the door, a young man with black hair standing was standing there.

He was holding a beastkin girl.

“Are you Sister Vardora!? Please save her! She hasn’t opened her eyes since this morning-!”

So saying, the young man’s slumped and his eyes dropped.

“The town’s doctors seem to have a bad reputation, I already have no one else I can rely on…”

“I understand. Then, this way.”

Faced with his serious face, Vardora showed the young man inside.

That said, there was only one thing she could do.

Vardora took ‘panacea’ from her luggage and looked back with a false smile.

“This is the panacea. This is what you want, correct?”

“Yes! If I have this, she’ll be cured, right!?”

When the youth looked at it desperately, Vardora gave a smile full of compassion and nodded.

“Yes. However … this is a very precious, rare item … I can’t simply hand it over.”

“O,of course! How much is it?”

The look of the man close to tears tickled Vardora’s cruelty.

If she’s leaving town, she’ll have to hire a few people to be her guard on the way.

This is a troublesome visitor.

It’s probably fine to embellish it.

She’ll raise the guard fee from him.

“It’s 300,000.”

“Th,300,000… Um, I heard it was 10,000, though-”

“That was because there was still a lot.”

She interrupted the man’s words with a smile.

Hurry up and leave; it had that kind of indirect meaning.

“If it’s 10,000, I have that!”

Clicking her tongue inwardly, Vardora looked at him apologetically.

“I’m so sorry, if you don’t have 300,000 then … furthermore, I have people waiting for me in the next town…”

“Th,then – give me however much I can buy with this! Won’t you sell it!?”

Even though there’s a ton of the exact same thing being sold in the marketplace.

A sneer floated at the corner of her mouth unawares.

“Understood. Then just the amount 10,000rin can buy…”

“Thank you so much!”

How hilarious; thinking like that, she took the man’s 10,000rin.

She handed the man a single spoonful of ‘panacea.’

Knock, knock knock

A sound came from behind the altar.

The eyes of the man who looked in that direction became sharp.

Suspiciously tilting his head, the man fed the girl ‘panacea’.

Vardora was irritated that dealing with this man took more time than she expected.

“She’ll be cured with this, right?!”

“Of course. If you have a heart that truly believes in god, she’ll definitely be cured.”

Hmph; just now, she thought she heard a laugh through his nose.

“Will she wake up immediately? Or do I have to continue giving some to her?”

She thought so, but the man’s expression was serious.

He doesn’t look like he’s laughing now. It must have been her imagination.

The man’s questions leapt out one after another, and Vardora’s irritation worsened.

Haa~; along with a sigh, Vardora roughly tore the veil off and scratched her head.

She’s made enough money to play around and live in comfort.

Even if she’s somewhat found out, as long as she moved to a distant town, the rumors won’t follow her.

“So annoying … Enough, I’m going to another town. … What you’re believing in is just wheat flour! Ahahaha! Aren’t you an idiot? How about it? Surprised?”

The virtuous Sister changed and a rough-tongued, vulgar woman appeared.

Her voice echoed through the abandoned church.

Contrary to Vardora’s expectations the man didn’t appear surprised, but he had questions.

“Wh,wheat flour…? Then what was being given to the townspeople up until now is…”

“Aah, that’s right. It’s just wheat flour that I bought cheap in another town. I’m grateful that you’d come to buy it. It’s a profitable business. Just saying I’m a Sister is so effective they’ll believe it.”

“Th,then … it has no effect…?”

“Isn’t there? If there isn’t then your ‘faith’ just isn’t enough, right?”

“N,no way … then, you’ve been deceiving the townspeople-?”

Being asked with a loud question, Vardora found it troublesome and responded with a loud voice.”

“Those that are deceived have only themselves to blame!”

Kyahahaha; it was when she raised a peal of shrill laughter.

The door behind the altar opened -.

A blonde Sister pointed her finger.

“There you have it~! That was Sister Vardora’s announcement~.”

“Eh-?”

Behind that Sister were many seething residents.

The black haired young man laughed.

“Man-. Hahaha, I’m glad you were so quick about it. I knew the true identity of that ‘panacea’ is wheat flour from the start. However, would everyone believe me if I told them? They believe in it, after all. Then I thought I’d have you tell them the truth with your own mouth.”

The young man tapped the beastkin girl’s shoulder and her eyes snapped open.

“Master, done already?”

“Yeah, it was a splendid performance, Noela.”

Vardora ground her molars together.

“You….! You were deceiving me from the start-!”

“What are you saying?”

Hmph; the young man snorted.

“You’re the one who said that, ‘those who are deceived have no one to blame but themselves,’ right?”

The townspeople moved inside in droves with furious faces.

“Won’t you explain this?”

“Depending on the contents, we’ll be handing you over the knights, yeah?”

“Return my money! All of the people you forced sales onto, return their money!”

Surrounded, Vardora shrugged her shoulders.

“About that money, I already used it, so it’s not around here -”

“Ah, if it’s the profits, they’re in that bag you left there, aren’t they?”

All eyes rested on the leather bag the youth pointed at, and they rushed towards it.

“Stooooooop! My profits! My money! There’s earnings from other towns in theeeeere, I’ll return everyone’s money soooo-! Stooooop…”

Vardora lost her strength and fell to the ground, and the youth clapped her on the shoulder.

He waved his own 10,000rin payment.

“Lying’s not good, not good at all.”

As the youth took his leave together with the beastgirl and the nun girl, he stopped once and turned to look at Vardora.

“I thought it was strange as soon as I heard about the panacea. Since there’s probably no one but me who can make it, after all. It’s better not to make light of medicine, okay?”

◆Side Reiji◆

In the end, Vardora was handed over to the knights and she was imprisoned.

“Vardora-san wasn’t even a Sister wasn’t she?”

“You can say she was being crafty or something. If she said that, her medicine’s credibility is raised.”

“Ah~. Now that you say it, that’s true.”

As for that, we knew that due to the results of the knights’ investigation.

It was just the story of an outsider with nothing to do with the church, pretending to be a Sister in order to swindle people.

Around the time we went for dinner it had been confirmed, and those rumors became the hot topic within the town.

And right now, we’re returning to the inn while ambling here and there.

“In any case, I’m glad we could reveal her bad deeds well.”

“It’s the result of Reiji-san’s splendid acting.”

“Not at all.”

Noela, who had flutter kicked on my bed first, is now sleeping.

“We’re already returning tomorrow, aren’t we…”

“We used a day up on something unnecessary after all. … Should we extend it a day?”

Mina shook her head and smiled.

“It’s already enough, Reiji-san. And we’ll do this again. Sometime.”

“This again … That’s right, the three of us will come again.”

So saying, I also returned her smile.
