Chapter 52 What The Heck Is Going On, That Guy (End Of Volume One)
"Phew, I'm saved. Now, what does Watterhill want this time――"
"Before that, could you take off those gloves and show me?"
"Oh, right. It would be obvious, huh."
"It's so suspicious."
As Risleyria-san removed her gloves, she lined up her fingers in front of me and showed me both hands. Oh... this is trouble.
"'Dis Recover (Cure Disease)', 'Full Recover'. ...What is that king doing..."
There's more black discoloration visible, even compared to Maya-chan and Mahiru-chan. Maya-chan probably cleans water under the guise of practice. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been affected by Oso (Dreadful element) poison so quickly. As evidence, Asaya-kun's fingers still didn't have any black discoloration.
But this already hurts. And if she doesn't want others to worry about her, she has to do it this way.
I'm not an expert, but I've seen so many people. Age and erosion are somewhat proportional, I could say.
Wait a minute, didn't Julienne-san have gloves on earlier? She should have... seriously?
"Goshujin-sama."
"Yeah, I was supposed to have healed all the guild staff, including Risleyria-san, before going over there."
I thought they would have at least done the bare minimum. It's a country that makes Magic Tools, I heard from Rosalier-san. But this can't be true, can it?
"I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize to me. Is the water bad, or the root vegetables, leafy vegetables, or grains? I can't believe it happened this quickly. It's as if the king hasn't done anything for the people here."
King and their nobles, they didn't wear gloves. How about Nelliza-san? I don't remember well. If I stared at her, Rosalier-san would get angry, so I tried not to.
"We are just ordinary citizens, you know. Different from the royal family and nobles."
"But still, um... excuse me."
I looked at Rosalier-san.
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"I heard before about a 'Magic Tool that removes Oso.' The 'Magic Tool for neutralizing magic stones.'"
"Yes, you mean that 'Magic Tool.' I haven't seen it myself, but it is said to have some ability to neutralize Oso."
"If this is the country that created that Magic Tool, they should be conducting tests here to ensure its effectiveness. If this country intends to use that Magic Tool for trade or diplomacy, then the water and food here should be clean to some extent, not just for advertising purposes. And yet..."
Hmm? Risleyria-san seems surprised. I wonder what's wrong?
"You seem to know a lot. There is a Magic Tool called that in Daioraden. However, the core magic stone is too expensive, and there were rumors that it stopped working last winter."
"Huh, is that so?"
"Yes, in my opinion... Even if the water containing Oso is not completely neutralized, the people seem to have no choice but to drink it as 'processed goods' in order to survive. We have to drink water and eat food to survive, right? It can't be helped. Just like my village was..."
Wait, does that mean...
"I'm sorry for interrupting."
I took Rosalier-san's hand and led her to the corner of the room. There, I whispered to her for advice.
'We were called to this world, wasn't there a possibility it was for that purpose?'
'Maya-san, Mahiru-san, was it. Those girls, must have been infected with Oso poison.'
'Yeah. What if they had Oso removed from the water that the royal family and nobles drink?'
'Asaya-san, was it? That boy wasn't infected with Oso poison?'
'Yeah. There were no black marks. Only Maya-chan and Mahiru-chan can use holy attribute magic. I mean, we treated Asaya-kun too, but he should have had light attribute magic.'
'Probably, even if Master's expectations are not correct, it seems not too far off.'
Seriously? It's like 'close but no too far away', huh. Rosalier-san must have the same concerns.
'Well, we won't know until we examine the fingers of the king and princess. And Rosalier-san.'
'Yes?'
'Starting tomorrow, I intend to focus on healing the people here. Rosalier-san, could you please investigate whether the magic stones have really run out and if that's why the magic tools stopped? And whether the royal family summoned the Hero to find a replacement for the magic tools?'
'Understood, Goshujin-sama.'
We returned to Risleyria-san.
"Risleyria-san."
"What is it?"
"I took a short break from Privia-san. So, I plan to provide as much treatment as I can here――of course, I also want to come back regularly even if I go back there."
"I see. Thank you, really..."
"Please don't cry. Anyway, let's quickly deal with the guild staff. Starting tomorrow, I'll treat the people with severe symptoms first. Oh, by the way, Risleyria-san."
"What is it? I'll help with anything."
"Thank you very much. First, at 'Fumihicho,' please ask Privia-san if she can come here."
"This is... something else."
"It's an important matter. Depending on the circumstances, I may cause trouble in this country. Well, not directly confronting anyone. There may be a situation where I end up taking the people here back to Watterhill's. Even if that's not possible, I intend to do something appropriate. It can wait until after the treatment of the people here. Can you contact her tonight?"
"...Ah, I see."
"Well then, we'll excuse ourselves."
I stood up, made a right turn. When I looked back, Rosalier-san nodded to Risleyria-san, then made the same right turn as me.
"Well, looks like it's going to get busy."
"Yes, it seems that way, doesn't it?"
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
