Hello! You must be Mozu, right?
Yeah, that's me. You're Subaki, right? The fella everyone says is some kind of genius?
I see my reputation precedes me. The truth is that I've got at least a little room for improvement. But please, if you ever have any questions, I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Well, in that case—
Subaki, sir! Pardon the interruption!
Did something happen? Speak up, soldier.
One of my allies has a nasty head cold. Is there any remedy that might cure him?
That's right, there has been some illness going around camp. It's simple. Boil jujube leaves and flax together, and have him drink it. He should be feeling better in no time.
U-understood! Thank you, sir! *leaves
I don't mean to be rude, but there's a better way to cure that cold.
Huh? What do you mean?
Don't get me wrong. Your recipe will work too. But jujube is awfully pricey. And with the war raging, it's nearly impossible to find flax in the stores.
You have to pick it yourself, assuming that it hasn't already been taken from the field. The simplest way to cure that cold is to mash plums and scallions together. Then you mix them into a tea. It's cheap and very effective.
I've never heard of this method before...
Oh, it's nothing fancy. A nice old lady from my village showed me how to make it.
I'm going to run and tell that soldier your solution. Thank you, Mozu.
It's no problem. I'm happy to help.
Clearly I need to spend more time at the library. My knowledge of remedies isn't as perfect as I thought it to be.
Hmm. You've got a bit of a competitive streak, don't you, Subaki?
