The Herbs Made With Weed Cultivation
“Indeed…they have died.”
“I regret that we couldn’t manage them better, Mr. Takumi.”
“No, you don’t have to apologize, Sebastian. These were not made by any ordinary method, after all. It’s to be expected.”
As we looked at the herbs, I saw that the ones that had grown large were now completely brown. They were wilted and lying limply on the ground.
But around them, the new sprouts were still growing. In fact, they seemed like they were ready to be picked.
Upon seeing this, Sebastian and the butlers apologized once again.
However, I didn’t feel that they were to blame.
“Well, I can easily make more. So please don’t worry about it.”
“Of course. Thank you.”
“In any case, as for the reason… I wonder what happened?”
“…According to the butlers who were observing them, nothing. Even if it was quite dark, surely they would have noticed if there was a dramatic change.”
Only the color must have changed as they wilted, so they would not have been able to see it.
If there was another reason, like a wild animal, then they would have noticed it.
So that was not the case… Besides, the guards would have noticed if there was a wild animal or monster so close to the mansion.
“Then what reason could there be…”
“I do not know… Still, it is curious that the new sprouts continued to be healthy. Only the first ones you made died…”
“Yes… Surely if the new ones took all of the nutrients, then some of the other herbs would have died as well. But only the ones that I made myself were affected.”
“It seems that way. So it has to do with Weed Cultivation then?”
“I cannot say for sure, but there seems to be no other explanation.”
I talked with Sebastian as we looked at the herbs.
Leo, Tilura, and Liza did not seem very interested, and they began to play a short distance away.
Well, that was fine.
“Maybe…it could be that…”
“Have you thought of something?”
“I’m not certain. But I have a theory… As they grew so quickly with Weed Cultivation, your herbs lived out their lives…”
“Grew so quickly…”
“Yes. After all, everything has a lifespan. Your herbs grow quickly, so that they can be harvested immediately. But if they are not picked, they might continue to grow until they die…”
“Well, that does seem likely enough.”
With plants, they might die after their flowers have bloomed or after bearing fruit.
Some trees live for hundreds of years, but still, they would get old and sick and die eventually.
So even if the speed of growth had slowed down a little, if they continued to age through the night…then it would make sense that they would be dead in the morning.
They were already fully grown yesterday, and were in the perfect condition to be picked.
That being said, it was still possible that there were other problems. Like the soil or environment. So I couldn’t be sure yet.
Though, since both the herbs that had been watered and the herbs that hadn’t were the same now, Sebastian was probably on the right track.
“And what about the new herbs then…?”
“There is no mistake that they grew quickly, so they might also die quickly. However, since they didn’t grow quite as fast as your herbs, they might last a little longer as well.”
“I see. In that case, we should continue to watch these.”
“Even if they will wilt?”
“Yes. After all, this is just a test to see if it’s possible to grow them normally. By seeing this process, I should be able to learn something that will help with raising herbs.”
“…Indeed. As it is the first time, it would be best to observe the whole cycle.”
“Exactly. And so the next time you call me, calm down a little, alright?”
“Yes, of course.”
I wanted to know how long these new herbs would last.
Besides, they might also multiply again.
After talking about it with Sebastian, it was decided that we would leave them like this for now.
I also didn’t forget to add a few words to the butler who had called me.
…The pain in my jaw reminded me that I had cut myself.
“Mr. Takumi… I heard that the herbs have wilted?”
“Yes, they have. Uh…”
I had left the herbs to the butlers and returned to the mansion with Sebastian.
And as we were on our way to the dining hall, we bumped into Ms. Claire.
Apparently, she had heard the news, and was on her way to the garden.
And so I told about what had happened as we headed to the dining hall together.
Ms. Claire was quite relieved to see that I was not distressed over the matter.
Perhaps it was because I had made them, and they had gone to waste.
While that was unfortunate, it didn’t really matter.
I could easily make some more, and I was prepared for an outcome like this anyway.
I wished the butlers wouldn’t apologize so much, and that everyone would worry about it less.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
