R [I Want to be Helpful] Mitile card story. Translated by me.

A Good Medicine Tastes Bitter

Akira: Cough cough!
Akira: (I’ve caught a cold. I have to be careful not to spread it to the wizards)

*knock knock*

Akira: Yes, come in.

Mitile: Excuse me. How are you, master sage?

Akira: I’m a bit feverish, but otherwise fine. Sorry to have worried you.

Mitile: Um, I've brewed some herbs and made a medicine that works well for colds.

Akira: Did you make that especially for me?

Mitile: Yes! I think we should help each other in times of need.
Mitile: But, I’m not confident whether it’s good enough or not…

Akira: (Mitile…)
Akira: I’ll have it. My fever will definitely be gone after I drink it!

Mitile: …Yes! Here you go, master sage.

Akira: Thanks, Mitile.

*gulp*

Akira: Ulp--! (i-It’s excruciatingly bitter!)

Mitile: Are you okay, master sage? Your face suddenly turned red..!

Akira: (Mitile is also worried for me. I have to finish this…!)

*Gulp, gulp*

Akira: I, I’ve drank all of it. Thanks, Mitile.

Mitile: Master sage, wasn’t that bitter?

Akira: No, not at all! It looked super healthy… and tasted potent.

Mitile: Amazing… Master sage is amazing after all!
Mitile: Even though this medicine is so bitter, even Dr. Figaro doesn’t like it…

Akira: Wha-!

Mitile: I’ll make more so you’ll recover soon! Please drink it again tomorrow!

Akira: That’s, wait, um…

Mitile: Well then, master sage. Good night!

Akira: I’ll have to drink that again tomorrow, huh… Maybe I shouldn’t have forced myself to drink it earlier.
