As I walked out of the guest hall where Ji-ryong was staying and headed toward my quarters, Hwa-eun caught up from behind and asked,

“What are you making, So-ryong?”

I had said I’d make something necessary, but I hadn’t told anyone what it actually was.

I wanted to surprise them. Besides, outright saying I was going to make lipstick so they could kiss as much as they wanted… that felt a bit too much.

This kind of thing was best done discreetly, handed over with a wink.

‘You get it, right? My feelings. Take care of your health and enjoy yourselves. Until your front teeth fall out.’

That was the message I wanted to send.

I considered keeping it a secret until it was finished, but I needed Hwa-eun’s help, so I decided to tell her.

It didn’t feel right to keep secrets between us anyway.

“Oh, I was thinking of making a poison-free lip balm that’s good for the lips. You know, between a man and a woman… well, some things don’t just go away because you try to suppress them.”

“Th-that’s true. I-I suppose it is something the two of them would need…”

Blushing, Hwa-eun rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand.

As she followed me, still rubbing her face, she asked cautiously,

“But So-ryong… do you know how to make something like that?”

“Oh, you mean lip balm?”

“Yes.”

Did I know how to make it? Of course not. I just knew the ingredients, so I figured I could throw something together.

We had to leave either tomorrow or the day after, so I decided to act right away.

“Yes, I have a rough idea. But I need to get the ingredients. Is there a place where I can buy medicinal herbs?”@@novelbin@@

“For medicinal ingredients, we can get them from the Medical Hall inside the Martial Alliance. If you ask Master Zhuge Hu, he might give them to you.”

“Well, it’s for those two, after all. It’s also a kind of poison prevention…”

Right, this wasn’t exactly medicine, but it was a form of prevention.

It was a bit late in the evening, but I decided to visit Master Zhuge Hu right away to ask for permission.

Since it was for his nephew, I figured he wouldn’t refuse.

“You need medicinal ingredients?”
