My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 353

I Used Magic for Concocting

“Hah… While I feel a little tired, I suppose we should start.”

“Yes! After hearing about how you think, I feel much more passionate now!”

“Uh, it was not exactly a rousing speech…”

“Medicine! Medicine!”

“Wuff-wuff!”

After talking to Nick and handing him the herbs, it was time to start concocting the medicine.

As Mr. Kalis had plenty of stock, I would likely not see Nick for a few days now.

I confirmed that with him before he left.

And then we started putting the herbs into the bowls.

Liza and Leo were excited and humming with anticipation.

Was it really so fun to do?

I had heard Liza’s reason…but I suppose that Leo also liked to use magic.

Judging by her reaction when I had asked her before about the different kinds of magic she could use, it seemed quite likely.

“You’re not going to use magic, papa?”

“Hmm? Indeed… Maybe if I can use some of the magic I learned yesterday.”

“Yay! We can see your magic then!”

“You are going to use magic, master?”

“Maybe. I suppose that it would be good for practice.”

“Wuff? Wuff-wuff!”

Just as we were about to start crushing the herbs, Liza looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Leo was getting ready to use her wind magic in order to help us, and it seemed like Liza was wondering why I wasn’t doing it as well.

Yesterday, Ms. Claire had taught me some magic to create a wind.

And since Liza had been watching us, she knew that I could use magic that would help with making the medicine.

And so I told Milina that I would use magic, and then I moved next to Leo and was about to do it, when Leo said something.

She said that since she was going to do it, my magic was not needed here.

As if I was trying to steal her job or take this opportunity for her to look good in front of Liza…

“Leo. Why don’t you do the wind in Liza’s direction then? And I will help Milina. It’s so I can practice, so don’t mind me. Besides, wouldn’t it be easier to do it in one direction than over a wide area?”

“Wuff… Wuff-wuff. Wuff.”

Uh, doing it over a wide area is actually no trouble whatsoever. However, if you must practice…

Leo sighed as she moved towards Liza. And so I decided to use my magic to help Milina.

“So mama is going to help me. Thank you!”

“Wuff!”

“Thank you, master.”

“Well, I’m not used to doing it, so I might not be able to adjust it much… But just tell me if it is too strong.”

“Of course.”

While Leo was nodding confidently, I was a little anxious.

After all, I had only just learned how to do it.

And while I shouldn’t have a problem with activating it, I didn’t know if it would go well.

In any case, Milina was looking at me with expectation, and so I had to do my best.

Besides, I was also trying to improve with magic for my own sake, so this practice was important.

“Wooo…wou.”

“Aha! That’s too strong, mama!”

“Wuff-fuf. Wou.”

“Yes, that’s perfect, mama!”

Leo activated her magic first and created a wind.

However, she might have been a little too enthusiastic, as the wind was very strong.

Liza had let go of the pestle and covered her ears as she protested. And so Leo quickly made the wind weaker.

So she was able to adjust the strength even after activating it… That was impressive.

Well, I had never tried adjusting magic after activating it, so I wasn’t sure if I could do it.

But for now, I decided to focus on making it weak so that I could help Milina.

Uh, extend my hand over the mortal and gather the magic energy like yesterday…

“Wind Elemental Air.”

“Wow… That’s great, master!”

“Haha. It does seem to be the perfect strength.”

After focusing on it, I activated the magic.

A gentle breeze then blew from my hand and towards Milina.

She seemed very amazed but continued to move her hands.

Good, now things should go smoothly.

“Hah…hah… Are you almost finished?”

“A little…more… Please keep it going, master.”

“Hah…hah…tsk.”

After using the magic for some time after, I found myself panting as I sent air towards Milina.

She was looking at me with a worried expression as she ground the herbs, but I wasn’t able to answer.

While activating the magic was simple enough, I didn’t realize how difficult it was to maintain it.

We were just about to finish the second batch, but it would probably be best to take a break before doing the rest…

So this was what it was like to use magic for an extended period of time…

While it didn’t feel like my body was running low on magic energy, I was starting to feel out of breath, and I was sweating like I did during sword training.

Even if it wasn’t magic that used a lot of energy, perhaps maintaining it was similar to exercising.

I see…this was the effect magic energy had on the body then…

In this world, magic energy and the body seem to be closely related… Even Sebastian had said something about how the herbs affected magic energy.

Now that I felt this, there were things that I didn’t think about before that I understood a little now.

So…it was a good experience, I guess?
