“If I have this much now, can I grow a lot in that field next year?”

“Yes, Miss.”

“Are you planting seeds from this pot?”

Neris had only grown plants once before in her previous life, and that was with the flower seeds from that time. Since Lianon, who sent fake letters, found her secret place and messed up all the flowers, she hadn’t grown anything.

“Of course, Miss. For plants like Thorn Pockets, if you cut the branches growing nearby and plant them, they’ll grow quickly.”

Rob felt that Neris’s question was cute, almost like that of his youngest sibling, but he didn’t dare express such sentiments. Since she was a lady as precious as a princess, all she might know about growing would be delicate flowers.

Neris found his answer extremely satisfying.

“All right, that’s good. Gavin, are you doing well? I feel pleased to have introduced you to a good person.”

Edan showed little response as if he were not paying attention to people’s words, but at Neris’s mention, he nodded appropriately.

While Rob was putting the pot back, Neris looked at the field with satisfaction. She was prepared for several failures since it was her first attempt, but the shoots had sprouted quickly. Moreover, regarding Thorn Pockets, the best expert she could find guaranteed their growth.

Generally, the most challenging aspect of business was not obtaining goods but selling them well. However, if the supply was sufficient, Neris wasn’t worried about selling.

Joan Morey, a talent who had raised an excellent upper echelon despite facing various constraints from the villain-like Angelo Railin, was under her command.

Joan was currently working at McKinnon Villa. Neris had originally recommended her to work there.

However, before Joan started her job, Neris attached a condition.

“I have something I want to do. Will you help me? You may have to give up the job at the McKinnon upper echelon you desire at that time, but that’s okay if you’re fine with it.”

Diligent Joan replied that she would come running whenever called and do her best if given the chance.

Neris didn’t intend to end with meeting the demand for Thorn Pockets. She would change the landscape of the medical scene in the aristocratic society.

Everything needed for that was prepared, and now all she had to do was wait for time to pass.

“You don’t know anything.”

Isabel was visibly annoyed at the cold evaluation.

Not only did the thirteen-year-old kid scrutinize and criticize adults, but now she wasn’t even kind when looking at Neris Trude. Anyway, there was no place to be seen nicely by Isabel.

However, her recent experience over the past few days had proven that protesting was useless. She lowered her head and apologized to Neris.

“I’m sorry, Miss. I’ll do it again.”

“Fine.”
Even sitting on the worn-out chair in the narrow dormitory room, Neris’s touch when drinking tea was elegant. Although Isabel had just given a sharp critique of the tea she had just brewed.

Even though sitting on the old chair in the cramped dormitory room, Neris’s gesture of drinking tea was graceful. Despite Isabel’s recent scathing evaluation of the tea she had just brewed.

Certainly, she made the tea somewhat carelessly. After all, a child who has never tasted expensive tea wouldn’t know anything about it.

Somewhat bitter tea now fully consumed, Neris silently pushed the teacup to the side. Knowing that standing by idly would invite disapproval, Isabel quickly collected the teacup.

Then, as Neris opened her book for note-taking, Isabel hesitated and asked,

“Um, Miss. You told me not to come yesterday, and I didn’t. But, if there’s anything troublesome, please let me know anytime, and I’ll come and help with my best efforts.”

Yesterday, as the weekend began, Neris had told Isabel that she had something to attend to and not to come unnecessarily. Despite Isabel’s repeated inquiries about what that something was, Neris refused to answer.

Eventually, when Isabel reported this to Trelitelle Delma, she scolded Isabel, saying, “You should have found out what that something was.” Thus, Isabel was sternly ordered to find out about Neris’s business and report back this morning.
