Chapter 112 Now, It'S My Turn
When Privia opened the door, a smell I had never encountered before wafted in. But it was a really nice scent. When I looked, it seemed like incense was burning.
A bed with a canopy. Ah, this must be what the person from over there told me about. It was a very nice bed. Surprisingly, I felt calm...
Sleeping on the bed is Mylavirna-san. Compared to Privia-san, she looks much smaller and really young. Just like a "Sleeping Beauty." I wonder if their eyes look similar? But she should be older than me. That's definitely true.
Her hands are clasped on her stomach. Of course, her eyes are tightly closed. The expression I sense from her eyebrows seems somewhat pained.
Luckily, there's no one else here besides us. In a way, that was a relief.
"Rosalier-san"
"Yes. The door is locked."
"As expected."
"I'm honored to receive your praise."
I beckoned Rosalier-san and Maya-chan. The two of them came closer right away.
"I'll revive them, so..."
"Yes."
"Yeah."
"After that, I want you to undress her and examine her thoroughly. Maya-chan, please appraise her at the same time and give me detailed information. It's no good if I heal her right away. If the cause isn't clear, it might happen again. In the meantime, I'll be in that room, of course."
I pointed to a door. It's probably a walk-in closet where Mylavirna-san's clothes and personal belongings are stored.
"Understood."
"Got it."
"Can you explain to Privia-san and the others, Rosalier-san?"
"Leave it to me."
I'm pretty sure those idiots from the old Daioraden haven't been dead for that long. I revived three of them, just casually, so it should be fine, right?
I took out a mana tea from my inventory and gulped it down in one go.
"'Mana Recover (mana recovery spell)'"
Alright, all set.
"Okay, let's begin."
"Counting on you."
Beside me, Privia-san looked worried, and Danna Vinna-san was watching with concern. I exaggeratedly nodded.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
When I looked at Rosalier-san, she nodded. Maya-chan, isn't it thumbs up?
I quietly approached Mylavirna-san. I covered her clasped hands with both of mine, while checking my remaining mana on the mysterious 'Display Self-Status' system. Now, how much will be taken away?
"'Resurrect (Resurrection Spell).' Whoa, about half of it was taken away. Alright, 'Full Recover'."
Oh, her color looks better. Her breathing seems to have returned, and her chest is moving up and down slowly. Her eyelids moved too. She's probably okay for now, right?"
"This is fine. Well then, Rosalier-san, Maya-chan. The rest please."
"Okay."
"Got it."
I opened the door and quickly entered the adjacent room, then closed the door immediately. Oh, it's not a walk-in closet, it's a storage room for cleaning supplies. Why does this always happen to me...
There are specific tools for this room. Even sheets are stocked on the shelf. It's a good thing it's not so narrow that I can't move.

'Ping'
"――Ugh"
Were I sleeping? And in a crouched position? Oh, I had my phone in my pocket.
'We've finished examining. You can come out now.'
Rosalier-san is here, Privia-san too, and Danna Vinna-san as well. But for now, I should confirm.
I knocked on the door, making a "Knock, knock" sound. Then, I opened the crack gently.
"Can I come out?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
That was Privia-san's response. I'm glad. Still, I slowly opened the door, checking if it's okay through the crack. I hope there won't be any pranks or surprises. It's not the right time for that.
And wow, everyone is looking at me with a judgmental gaze. I wonder why? It feels kind of lukewarm.
"Um, I was told it's okay to come out, so I came out."
Oh, good. Mylavirna-san was wearing clothes. It was like pajamas until just now.
I walked slowly to the front of the bed. Oh, they prepared a chair for me.
"Thank you for the chair."
I sat down and looked at Mylavirna-san's expression. The pain must have disappeared, so she look calm or maybe even curious. Well, I guess it can't be helped.
"Mylavirna-san"
"Yes?"
"Do you remember that you passed away? I believe you probably had some memories, right?"
"Yes. I heard it from my sister. You were the one who resurrected me, right?"
"Yes, that's correct. Hmm, it was about half an hour after Mylavirna-san passed away."
"I see."
"I think the pain is gone now, how about it?"
"Yes, I don't feel any pain."
"That's good to hear. However, it's only temporary. I don't know if it will last for one hour or two hours."
"I see."
I gestured to Maya-chan. Maya-chan brought a chair and sat next to me.
"She is like a little sister to me, part of my family."
"We have greeted each other, you know?"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"In that case, let's get straight to the point. How was it?"
"Well, can I be blunt?"
"Of course. That's why I had her thoroughly investigated."
Oh, so you had it saved in your phone, huh?
"Um, the right leg, about 2cm (0.8 inch) from the tip of the toe to the front of the hip joint. The left leg, about 3cm (1.18 inch) from the tip of the toe to the front of the hip joint."
"Whoa..."
"The right arm, about halfway up the upper arm. The left arm, around the armpit."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, we're not done yet. There are black spots on the back and around the belly. Shall I tell you about under the pants?"
"No, I'll pass on that."
"Okay, this is how it looks."
"Yeah."
"The appraisal result shows that 56% of the body shows signs of being eroded by the Dreadful element poison."
Maya-chan's voice sounds pretty amazed. Well, no wonder. This is the worst case we've ever seen.
"Privia-san."
"What's up?"
"Do you have any siblings other than her?"
"Just the two of us."
"What about your parents?"
"They succumbed to the Dreadful poison about 30 years ago."
"I see, that's what happened."
They weren't at the end of their life, but they still passed away... Just like Rosalier-san's parents. I don't want anything like that anymore.
"Mylavirna-san"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Until the beginning of this year, did your fingertips were getting darker and darker?"
"...Yes. Even the second joint was black."
Privia-san stopped Mylavirna-san from standing up with her hand.
"Uncle."
"What's wrong?"
"Maya, maybe Maya could have ended up like her."
"Why?"
"Because I have holy magic."
"...Why does that matter?"
"Yes, I can see it. Maya, even though you may not be able to tell from the outside, but I am a hero from another world. That's why."
Mylavirna-san looked at Privia-san. And she shrugged her shoulders and said, 'Oh, I'm sure.'
"Oh, I see. Was it called 'purification'? It's an early magic that can cleanse water and create so-called 'holy water,' right?"
"Yeah, that was a terrible task."
So that's what it was. No wonder the water was so clean.
"I'm not from this world either. That's why I was able to raise the Healing Attribute magic to the highest level and revive Mylavirna-san."
"Hoho, I see. That's also why, huh?"
"We'll talk about that another day. Um, the water in the kitchen, the water in the pitcher, the water in the glass. When Maya-chan investigated, she couldn't sense any Oso. So before coming here, we worried together that something was 'strange.' It all connects now."
Oh, Mylavirna-san looked really down.
"Mylavirna."
"Yes, sister?"
"What happened to the 'agreement' you made with the Dragonkin?"
"Oh, Privia-san (mom)."
Isn't it bad to get angry? I pretended to be playful and said that.
"Oh, I'm sorry. That's right."
"Anyway, I kind of understand the cause. Let's quickly fix it. 'Dis Recover (Cure Disease)', 'Full Recover,' and that's it. Everything will be alright with this."
