Blessing Of Yuri Goddess

Chapter 471: Chapter 63 - Testing Poison Effect

I am indeed guilty of this.

Not only did I dare to swallow a single leaf of a mildly poisonous plant to tease Mio, but I also thought it was a normal thing to do after undergoing poison immunity training from my father.

From the look in Mio’s panicked eyes, of course, she would run to call Yulia and get a high-grade antidote potion to neutralize the poison that was spreading inside my body.

Her panic and fear, after I eaten a poisonous plant caused some unnecessary trouble for Mio, and I felt guilty towards Yulia for wasting one of her high-quality antidote potions.

That unbearable guilt led to my sincere apology to Yulia.

"I’m really sorry for this silly thing I did, Yulia."

"Thanks to this foolish act, one of the high-quality antidote potions you made ended up in vain," I said while lowering my head and acting like a noble lady ready to accept punishment from her.

My intention in eating the leaves of the mildly poisonous plant was to tease Mio, but the teasing turned into something serious when Mio panicked and ran out of the Central Command tent.

After all, who would have thought that Mio’s panic would trigger a big incident like this?

Ah, no, it wasn’t Mio’s fault to be panicking, also it’s my fault for teasing her in the wrong way and being too reckless to do so something dangerous.

My head kept bowing towards Yulia, and I was ready to accept her anger for my silly action.

"There’s no need to apologize in such a serious manner, Lily-sama."

"In this case, I’m quite relieved that it wasn’t poisoning that caused Lily-sama to become limp and immobile."

"Let’s see..."

"The mildly poisonous plants Lily-sama ate should have come from these samples, right?" Yulia asked, glancing at the glass jar on the table.

In the glass jar samples found by Knight Marquess Rommel, there were no special markings other than a number code and a paper containing a warning. Special markings were only used on the glass jar samples sealed with a magic circle formation and a large warning paper.

"Hmm..." It appears I have discovered a new issue with the glass jars used as a sample containers.

The numerical codes we use showing a detail the plant’s status as a common plant, a magical plant, or a poisonous plant. But to distinguish between mildly poisonous and severely poisonous plants, there’s only a small difference in the warning paper attached to the glass jar. For samples containing deadly poison, the markings used are a special number code, an area on the map that is easy to attract the eye to see it, and a strong magic seal on the glass jar.

However, for samples of mild, non-lethal poisons, there’s only a small note on the paper warning to be careful when handling them. This vague warning can lead to misunderstandings, such like Mio, who suddenly panicking and running outside to get a high-grade antidote.

"Yes, it is indeed a glass jar containing a sample of a mildly poisonous plant. If I’m not mistaken, Lisa said the effect is only to make the body’s muscles feel stiff and difficult to move, as if experiencing paralysis," I replied while thinking various things in my head.

"P-Paralysis, huh? No wonder Mio looked panicked when she entered my tent," Yulia said, raising her eyebrows and holding one of the glass jars containing a sample of a mildly poisonous plant.

I, who was still lowering my head, started to look at Yulia again. With a serious expression on her face, Yulia was looking at the poisonous plant sample and seemed to be thinking about something in her head.

"Mio was already panicking when she heard Lisa’s explanation about the poisonous plant that I had eaten the leaves of, even though it wasn’t deadly..." I replied in a soft tone and glanced at Yulia, who was still focused on staring at the glass jar in her hand.

Yulia, who was deep in thought, somehow made me want to say something I had thought about before.

"With such a non-lethal poisonous plant, wouldn’t it be perfect as a sleeping aid for those who have trouble sleeping, Yulia?" I asked, whispering softly in Yulia’s ear.

I kept my voice low and whispered to Yulia, hoping not to attract the attention of my twin sisters, who were focused on understanding the nature magic incantation.

Before I explain the important points of nature magic that require the blessing of the Goddess of Nature, I must take this opportunity to drag Yulia into the research of poisonous plants that are beneficial to mankind.

My goal in doing this is quite simple, namely, to utilize the potential of mildly poisonous plants to paralyze enemies during combat.

Not too bad an idea, right?

But to get to that point, I needed a medical colleague who could process mildly poisonous plants into a pocket-friendly medicine.

Uhm, medicine?

Wouldn’t it be better to make the poison as a weapon that can paralyzes the enemy?

I mean...

With a single drop capable of paralyzing several humans, it’s enough to avoid a troublesome battle and easily capture enemies, right?

"This is more suitable as a sleeping pill for someone who is going to undergo medical surgery."

"There are even notes about the effects of painkillers and prolonged unconsciousness," said Yulia while showing a glass jar with a warning paper attached.

I looked at the warning paper and read the writing, a handwriting that was quite neat and easy to read.

"Pain-relieving effects after being unconscious? Y-You mean like... fainting, right?" I asked Yulia about the implied meaning written on warning paper.

"There’s only one way to find out," Yulia replied as she placed the glass jar on the table and opened the lid.

Poomm!!

The loud sound of the glass jar lid opening made me smile at Yulia.

"Hmm... It seems we have the same way of testing the effects of poisonous plants, Yulia," I said to tease Yulia.

Who knows what Yulia was thinking, right now...

She suddenly picked one of the leaves from a sample of a poisonous plant that had the effect of suppressing pain and causing prolonged unconsciousness.

"The question at right now is... how long the effects of prolonged unconsciousness last?" My voice was full of questions as I glanced at Lisa, who was still busy studying military report writing techniques from Madam Estelle.

"I don’t know either," Yulia replied casually and took out a leaf she had picked from a sample of a mildly poisonous plant.

"We’ll know after we do the testing," Yulia continued, closing the glass jar and taking a deep breath, before doing the same silly thing I had done earlier.

The leaves that Yulia had picked were bright green with yellow tips. At first glance, they looked like the leaves of a beautiful flower, but they were not flowers, it’s a fruit wrapped in leaves.

I can’t explain the details clearly, but it was round with leaves growing around it.

I thought, it was an unopened flower bud, but the paper note attached to the glass jar said it was a sweet fruit with high water content in its seeds. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

A fruit with an odd shape, contains mild poison, and is rich in water reserves.

"It’s rich in water reserves, but it’s not explained whether the water reserves are safe to drink or have the same effect as the poison," I muttered in a weak tone after learning some of the information Lisa left behind.

"Like I said... We’ll find out later," Yulia replied as she closed her eyes and put the poisonous leaf she had picked into her mouth.

Choommmp!!

"Ugh!! It tastes so bitter..." Yulia grumbled, opening her eyes wide and chewing the poisonous leaf in her mouth.

I could hear the sound of Yulia’s teeth chewing on the poisonous leaves, and she raised her eyebrows.

"This unusual bitter taste will be very difficult to mix with sweet fruit flavors..."

"It is more suitable to be mixed with sour fruit flavors, so that it is not too bitter."

"The effects of the painkiller..."

"Huumm, not too bad..."

"It would be suitable for use as an emergency medicine for the seriously injured knight Marquess Rommel in battlefield."

"As for the unconscious effect..."

"It doesn’t have a very significant effect..."

Choommmp...

Choommmp...

While chewing the poisonous leaf in her mouth, Yulia commented on the effects of the poison she was feeling on her own body.

Of the many ways she could do it to testing, she casually eating poisonous leaves like it was the most effective way she could do it.

I know that Yulia has high-level poison resistance and immunity...

But if the way she did it was like this, somehow it wasn’t much different from the way I had done it before.

"Yulia..."

"You realize what you’re doing..."

"J-Just like I did before?" I asked Yulia in an awkward tone and looked at her with a cynical look in my eyes.

Yulia shook her head quickly and waved her hand.

"No, no..."

"What Lily-sama did was an amateur’s method, while what I did was a professional doctor’s method for testing poison content. Puueehh!!" Yulia said as she took a handkerchief from her doctor’s uniform pocket and spit out the poisonous leaf she had been chewing earlier.

With gentle and careful movements, Yulia folded the handkerchief she was using tightly and then walked towards her medicine box.

Srraaakkk...

Sraaakkkk...

Pooommm!!

Without saying a word about the actions she was taking in testing the poison content, Yulia now drink the antidote potion and smiled at me.

"Fufu~ This is how a professional poison test works, Lily-sama..."
