My Fiancé Won't Stop!?

Chapter 10

Episode 10 – Let’s Talk About My Recovered Memories: Final Part

“I’m very sorry, Lisa. The black ivory that was ordered from the East, again, it seemed to have been transported to another country.”

“Do you know which country it was transported to?”

“As the delivery was caused by miscommunication it’s rather complicated, unfortunately it will be difficult…”

Lalisa Manoban, it was her tenth autumn. In the past two years since she regained her memories, she was now thoroughly prepared in medicine and pharmaceutics. She was now beginning to develop the potion for Black Crest Disease. According to the knowledge she had of the game, Jessi would contract it during next winter. She luckily had the outline of the potion recipe to study, there was time to spare. There should be more than enough.

Or so I thought.

“It’s serious, Lisa. Please don’t get upset.”

“…Bad news?”

“There has been a large fire in the medicinal herb garden of the royal city. Research may not be able to continue at this rate.”

When Lisa started working on the potion, as if fate had bared its fangs, various problems had arisen. If she tried to get rare materials from overseas, pirates would attack the ships, or it was carried to another country by mistake. On the contrary, the royal medicinal garden was burned to the ground, it was even more difficult to even get common herbs now. Even if they could be purchased from another herb garden, the supply that year was short due to cold weather.

“So, the research can not proceed… what can I do?”

Lisa was worried. However, a helping hand came from an unexpected place.

“There’s no problem… there’s a medicinal herb garden in our house too.”

Lisa’s father, Jackson Manoban. Two years ago, he had made an herb garden inside the premises of the mansion for his daughter. To care for the herbs, he had hired an expert. Jackson, himself, seemed to have always longed for a home garden, he would secretly grow tomatoes or eggplants in the corner. Occasionally they would make an appearance on the dining table, they were quite good.

By using the medicinal herbs in her family’s garden, Lisa was able to retrieve the bare minimal amount of herbs. While she settled this incident… another one would occur. Lisa was given a lab located in a corner of the Royal Academy of Medicine, but an explosion had occurred in the one next door, many of the prototype potions and materials were lost. Although she moved to another compartment after the accident, there were many cases of theft. None of the medicinal herbs used could be defective products, even if she ordered more, they would hardly arrive.

“Lalisa Manoban… come with me.”

Certainly, even kidnappings would occur. Another country’s spy noticed Lisa’s talent, and tried to snatch her away.

“My daughter is not yours to take. Don’t think that you can leave this country alive.”

Her father, Jackson, had arrived. The soldiers on duty quickly and skillfully apprehended the spy.

And so, Lisa was safe, but, she started to have doubts.

“Everything was going well up until now, so why?”

As soon as she started developing the potion for Black Crest Disease, several problems would occur one after the other. What did this mean?

“It feels like the world is going against me.”
