Chapter 43: Duality

After leaving the cake shop, Sakura went to the pharmacy first.

"Hello. "Sakura-chan.

"Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?" the doctor asked.

"Do you have any of these herbs in your store?" Sakura showed the doctor.

"I'm sorry, we are a western pharmacy here, and we don't have these herbs. "Doctor.

"Well, sorry to bother. Sakura started her way to the next pharmacy.

Sakura, who was walking on the road, thought to herself, "The pharmacies in the village seem to be full of Western medicine, and it seems that medicinal herbs are only available in hospitals......"

(!————)

Konoha somewhere.

A man spreads out a scroll, and then a figure appears on the scroll.

"Rain-sama. "Someone.

"What's the matter?"

"I've found the location of Kakudu's body, in the morgue of the medical class. "Someone.

"Got it. The figure of the rain disappeared.

(!————)

Konoha Hospital.

"Hello, may I ask, do you have these herbs in the hospital?" Sakura.

"Hmm......" The storekeeper looked at the medicinal herbs written in the book, and then opened the list of items on the computer desktop and looked for them one by one.

"Hmm...... That's all I can give you at the moment. The administrator lists the herbs that can be given to Sakura on the computer.

"That's enough. "Sakura-chan.

"Well, then you wait here, I'll go get the herbs. "Administrator.

A few minutes later, the caretaker returned with a small bag of medicinal herbs and handed it to Sakura, "Thank you so much!" Sakura took the bag.

As soon as Sakura left the hospital, she met Ino.

"What's wrong?Sakura-chan, why did you buy so many medicines?"

"Why did you come to the hospital?" Sakura-chan.

"My dad was injured during the mission, and I came to bring him food, what about you?"

"I'd like to try to make this ......," Sakura handed the book to Ino.

"......" Ino looked at the contents of the book, "...... Are you sure it's right?"

"What's wrong?" Sakura-chan.

"A lot of drugs contain substances that make people nervous...... Is it really harmless?"

"If you just eat one, there is no harm. "Sakura-chan.

"But what's the use of making this kind of thing? Isn't the effect the same as the Bing Food Pill?"

"But it tastes better than the Bing Grain Pill, and the effect is also better. "Sakura-chan.

"If you want to do it, I'll help too, it's still quite troublesome to read the steps in this book. "Ino.

"Really? Thank you very much. "Sakura-chan.

"When I'm done delivering food, I'll go to your house. "Ino.

"No, I don't do it at home, I do it at the sweet cake shop. "Sakura-chan.

"Oh~ that shop, no problem! Let's meet there!"

(!————)

Sweet cake shop.

Sakura returned with the herbs.

"You're back. "Berry.

"I only found these materials. Sakura walked up to Berry and opened the bag.

"......" Berry took the pocket, put it on the table, left the bag completely open, and then opened the ingredients that had been prepared, "You check what is missing first, I still have a custom-made birthday cake to make." ”

"Well, okay. Sakura immediately began to check the materials.

……

"Hello, is anyone here?" Ino shouted.

"Ino, I'm here!" Sakura shouted.

"......" Ino quickly walked over to Sakura's side, "What are you doing?"

"Check the materials and see what herbs don't. "Sakura-chan.

"......" Ino stared at the medicinal herbs in the bag, "Sakura-chan, do you know these medicinal herbs?"

"......" Sakura.

"......" Ino.

“…… What now?" Sakura-chan.

"Find someone you know. "Ino.

"But who knows these herbs?" Sakura-chan.

"Just ask Sister Berry. "Ino.

"Who's Berry-sama?" Sakura-chan.

"It's the owner of this shop, and I make my birthday cake here every year. "Ino.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked the owner for his name yet...... "Sakura-chan."

"By the way, what about Sister Berry?"

She said she had a made-to-order birthday cake to make. "Sakura-chan.

"Alas~ Then let's wait until Sister Xiaomei's work is over. "Ino.

……

"This is the prince ginseng...... This is the strychnine ...... "After making the cake, the berries helped the two of them count the medicinal herbs."

"There are still 3 kinds missing. "Ino.

"For mint, you can take it from the refrigerator and have some spare. "Berry.

"Can mint make cakes too?"

"Some kids like the mint flavor, so I add it to the cake. "Berry.

"Where can I find cassia and plantain?" Sakura.

"These two should be available in the market, and when I went to buy materials the other day, I saw that there were some for sale. "Berry.

"Without further ado, let's go buy it quickly!" Ino said.

"Okay. "Sakura-chan.

The two of them immediately rushed to the market, and as Berry began to tidy up the messy table and arrange the bags, she remembered that her mother had taught her to identify herbs and how to make medicinal meals.

"It's a medicine that is poisonous. This is what Berry's mother used to say to Berry.

"What do you mean?" Berry didn't know what it meant at first.

"There are two sides to everything, and sometimes, a life-saving drug can become a deadly poison. ”

"Why?"

"For example, this pot of vegetable beans, although it is delicious, it also contains toxins, and if it is not cooked thoroughly, it will be poisoned. ”

"Uh-huh...... "berry."

"Another example is this knife, which can cut vegetables and hurt others. ”

"......" berry looked at the wound on his left hand, which had been cut when he had flattened the fruit.

"That's a medicine for your father, which can invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, and can accelerate blood circulation, but when the doctor grabs the medicine, he must also grasp it according to the proportion to avoid the drug being too violent, resulting in faster blood circulation. ”

"Isn't it a good thing that blood circulates quickly?"

"Didn't I say that there are two sides to everything, and if the blood circulates too quickly, it will increase the burden on the heart, and when the heart can't bear it, the person will die......

……

Berry looked at the picture of his mother hanging on the wall, "Mom...... Are you okay with Dad in that world?"

(!————)

Market.

"Sakura-chan, do you know what cassia and plantain look like?"

"Plantain I know, my mother used plantain to cook, Cassia didn't know. "Sakura-chan.

"Alas~ I can only ask door to door. "Ino.
