Leone seemed to be so excited that she used a little too much force, grinding the medicine with a crackling sound.
Mine was alarmed. She quickly observed the surroundings, looking left and right, and hastily stopped Leone:
"Leone! Be quieter! It'll be big trouble if that bastard Uchiha Madara finds out!"
"Oh! Oh! I got it!"
Hearing Mine's words, Leone's movements slowed down considerably, and the noise became much softer. However, the speed and force of her grinding remained unchanged, clearly showing she was pushing through with brute force.
Watching Leone's actions, Mine asked back with some concern:
"Leone, are you sure these herbs gathered from the forest will actually work?"
Leone, still grinding, said with some excitement:
"Don't worry, they'll absolutely work! This is a secret recipe I stumbled upon by accident. As long as these few herbs are blended evenly, the effect it produces will be beyond your imagination!"
Although Leone answered with such certainty, it was clear that Mine was still somewhat worried.
Worry was worry, but things had already progressed to this point. Stopping now was impossible. Moreover, this was the only method Mine and Leone had been able to come up with to deal with Uchiha Madara after all these days.
Leone continued grinding excitedly for about five more minutes. After that, she put down the pestle, picked up the jar, and peered inside to observe the medicine.
She reached directly into the jar and pulled out a lump of dark green paste-like medicine. Leone began to knead this lump of paste with both hands, kneading and kneading, finally forming a small, dark green pill in her palm.
Leone stared at this small dark green pill, observing it carefully.
After a long while, Leone revealed a confident smile.
"Alright, no problem. It's done!"
Sheele blinked, asking somewhat bewildered:
"Just this tiny little pill, will it really work?"
Leone, confident, said to Sheele and Mine:
"Don't worry. I have more experience with this kind of thing. Don't look at how small it is; its potency is extremely great! Just this tiny pill can take down a super dangerous type! You could say it's incredibly potent!"
Mine looked at the small medicine in Leone's hand, resting her chin, and thought of a very important point:
"Although the pill has been made, how are we going to make Uchiha Madara take it?"
This was an important question, and Leone also fell into thought about it.
Seemingly unable to comprehend Leone and Mine's dilemma, Sheele raised a finger and said naturally:
"Can't you just directly slip it into Uchiha Madara's food or tea?"
Leone and Mine immediately had a huge drop of cold sweat and several black lines appear on their heads.
Mine's mouth twitched, and she said to Sheele, utterly exasperated:
"Sheele, if things were really that simple, it would be great... Don't forget, we are deep in the tiger's den right now. Even a slight carelessness could lead to us losing everything and being utterly finished!"
Sheele looked bewildered.
Leone stood up, shrugging, seemingly agreeing with Sheele's words:
"Sheele's words aren't unreasonable. Besides slipping it into Uchiha Madara's food and tea, we don't have any other opportunities! We can only come up with a plan on this front!"
Mine still thought it was unreliable:
"It's easy to say, but slipping medicine into Uchiha Madara's food at the dinner table without him noticing is extremely difficult. Not to mention, our current physical condition is just that of ordinary people. How are we supposed to slip the medicine in?"
Rubbing her chin, Leone pondered for a long time, then said:
"Slipping medicine in front of Uchiha Madara is no different from seeking death. It seems we can only think of a way through Sayo!"
Mine suddenly realized:
"Of course! Sayo personally prepares all of Uchiha Madara's refreshments. Slipping medicine in Sayo's presence is indeed much more reliable than doing it in front of Uchiha Madara! But..."
"...But Sayo is also very wary of us! How are we supposed to slip the medicine in front of Sayo?"
Leone slammed her right fist into her left palm, making a determined decision:
"There's only one way, and that is... 'striking east to feint west'!"
"'Striking east to feint west'! Who goes east? Who goes west?"
Leone revealed a very devious smile, pointing her index finger directly at the bewildered Sheele, and suddenly said:
"For 'striking east,' of course, Sheele will go!"
Mine turned to look at the naturally dazed Sheele. A black line appeared on her forehead, and she had to admit that Leone's choice of person was excellent.
Leone seemed very confident. She moved to stand in front of Sheele, clasped Sheele's shoulders with both hands, and looked directly into Sheele's eyes, saying:
"Sheele, everything depends on you!?"
Sheele tilted her head, her big eyes wide, utterly clueless...
With the freshly prepared pill hidden in her sleeve, Leone led Sheele and Mine out of the bedroom. All the way, they subtly descended to the first floor, pretending nothing was amiss, and then found Sayo's usual study, out of earshot and sight.
Creeping cautiously, they quietly opened the door a crack. The three gathered at the doorway, peering through the gap, observing the situation inside.
Inside the study, Sayo was busy at the counter. She needed to wipe cups, wipe teapots, brew tea for Uchiha Madara, and prepare snacks for Uchiha Madara. These were all part of her daily work as a maid.
After putting the snacks into the oven, Sayo began to boil water and then took out black tea, preparing to brew it.
Leone's eyes brightened as she observed through the door crack. She immediately turned, whispering instructions to Sheele:
"Sheele, you don't need to worry about anything else. After five minutes, you go in and say that the three of us want some tea and snacks. You must insist on personally brewing tea and getting snacks yourself, with your back to Sayo. If Sayo offers to help you, you must refuse!"
Sheele tilted her head, still not understanding:
"Just that?"
"Just that! If you do that well, you'll have helped us greatly!"
"Ugh... alright, I understand..."
Having finished speaking, Leone took Mine's hand and swiftly ran off like a wisp of smoke, going to do who-knew-what, leaving Sheele foolishly waiting by the doorway for the time to pass.
