Patience Is All You Need

Like a spider waiting in its web, patience is all she needs.

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts

She had spent many days next to the window. Flowers were blooming outside when she made gentle medicines with mint and nepeta. Rain was falling outside when she made strong medicines with mosla and ginger. Leaves were falling outside when she made sour medicines with peony roots and dry plums.

Night of Fright

The girl is shivering and grasps the "weapon" in her hands tight, but still does not dare to approach the "target." "There is nothing to be s—s—scared of!" The tail behind her has finally had enough and suddenly lights up. "Hurry up. You're just picking up a delivery!"

Reforged Remembrance
