Mandell traces the scroll with his finger, he then mumbled the text below the clear pictures
"Hannah, Mati"
A picture of a white beautiful flower had a text below saying, hannah
The other pictures have different names and appearance
Mandell begin to cover the name below the pictures with his hand and begin to guess what the picture is called
"This is Mati" Mandell said to himself before slowly revealing the text below the picture he tried to guess
"urrrg, wrong again" He mumbled before his eyes moved to the next picture
"This is hannah!" He said excitedly seeing the image of a white saintly flower,
as his hand revealed its name did a huge smile form at his face
"Yeees!!, I can do this"
After that Mandell guess ten correctly out of the fifty pictures of herbs, the croll introduce to its reader
Which made the young lad extremely happy as he only got three correct yesterday, and that three is herbs with the most basic features and a name which is easy to remember
After an hour or so, the door to the room he was in opened revealing a short humakey and as height implies, its Ma'am Madell
"Child, do you want to help with the work today?" She said the moment their eyes meet
"Huh?....yes I want to" Mandell said with a blank expression
Seeing the child, Madell looked to the bandage covering its small body and said
"We need to clean you first, how do human clean themself?" She asked
"With water" Mandell said looking at the bandage covered with dust
He pat the bandage and trail of dust entered his nose making him sneeze
"Achoo!"
Hearing the child squeak, Madell said with her back against the child
"Let's go"
"Yes"
Mandell with both his hand against his back followed Madell as she opened the door leading to the second floor
There Mandell saw patient being treated blood spurting out of the wounds and the humakey's trying to treat every patient,
"Still scared of us?" Madell said concern of what the child is feeling, maybe socializing with the others would take more time than she expected it to be,
Hearing Madell's voice, mandell shook his head and said as his eyes turn to the patients on the bed
"I'm okay ma'am Madell" The patients had their whole body against the bed as they struggle to resist the wave of pain coming from the big injury
Curios, mandell asked
"Ma'am Madell, why is everyone here have a wound and not an illness?"
Hearing his whisper everyone near begin to notice the child who is at the center of the room
A black hair that only seems to cover its head and a body wrapped with bandage and not fur.....it must be a human
"Ouch, ouch, is that a human?" An injured person asked the one that was treating him
The humakey took a quik glance at the center of attraction and said to the patient
"She is"
"Ohhh, elder finally got married huh?"
"pfffft-" The humakey covered his mouth and said as he look at his patient
"Please don't say that in front of master"
"So I'm wrong, my bad..ouch!" The humakey said before he felt pain from his old injury coming back
Feeling the eyes around him Mandell felt a little disturb and embarrassed, and the feeling that he did something wrong without knowing
but his concern didn't last long as he heard Madell whispered
"You'll get use to it, child"
Hearing her Mandell felt the eyes marking him look away and the uneasiness slowly fading, it feels nice
As they arrive at the stairs heading downstairs did Mandell grabbed Madell hands and asked
"Ma'am Madell where are we going?, there's a lot of humakey what if they see-
"Don't worry they won't do anything to you"
The gripped at mandell's hand got stronger as Madell said
"Were just like humans, appearance aside, we can think of the same things and who would want to hurt a child like you?"
"right" Mandell replied as he felt the trust between them grow
"Ma'am Madell where are we heading?" Mandell asked once again
"Um, to get you clean" Madell said not answering the child's question
Hearing Madell, mandell sniffed his arm and felt a strong aroma enter his nose
It felt like something spicy was dump on the hole, the burning sensation crawl around
"Ummff" Mandell move his arm away as it smells so bad he could feel his soul leave his body but his just overreacting
It smells bad but not the worse, he was just shocked that he didn't knew of how his body smells like, days ago
After smelling his own body, he looked straight just to see humakey's starting at him once again
They formed a line heading to the second floor there's twenty or more of them, all staring at the human heading downstairs
The heavy feeling came back and the same goes for Madell's words
"You'll get use to this"
Is what she said as she hid Mandell behind her away from the crowds eyes
"Ahem" Madell made a noise attracting almost everyone
"Make way please" Hearing her the line moved to the side giving way for Madell and Mandell to enter a specific room
He could see everyone staring at him, mandell lift his head up and look around seeing everyone looking at him curiously
Mandell smiled nervously trying to act friendly in front of everyone just as he did the door opened
"Let's go"
Obeying Madell's word, he entered the room and saw numbers of different herbs in a line, and a huge container at the side which seems to contain water
He then asked to Madell "Ma'am, can I touch one?"
Seeing Mandell act childish, Madell nodded
With eyes beaming with curiosity Madell grabbed a red flower, its petal is moving as if it was alive and the heat it produce is soothing to the touch
"oooohhh!, Ma'am Madell, what this called!?" The child asked
"We can do that later child"
Hearing Madell, mandell put the herb down and said as he remember the reason they came here
"hehe, sorry ma'am Madell"
