Zem and the others decided to break up even more second-hand.

If you take the time, the sun may set and the investigation itself may not be possible. Besides, the morgue and the joint cemetery are not so far from Nargarva's office. It was natural to think that it was inconvenient to be far away.

As only Zem to talk to Nargarva, Tiana and Kizna decided to head to the morgue. When Zem prayed to both of them not to get a bad feeling, they both started acting with a self-derisive grin that they were "likely to hit more and more".

And Zem also reached Nargarva's office. Unlike other floors, it feels clean. No graffiti, no trash or dirt left on the floor. Only the dirt as a building in the first place cannot be erased, but the body as a clinic is in order.

"Patient... doesn't look like it"

When Nargarva noticed Zem and the others were in the room, she greeted them with a voice that didn't seem so funny.

"Can't I if I'm not a patient?

"Nobu is just using this room on his own and it's nobody's. You don't have to interrupt your practice."

Returned to Zem's words, words that were neither offensive nor welcome.

It was consistently indifferent.

"But... you're thriving"

Zem groans as he looks around.

It's a sign of a person waiting to be treated sitting on the floor, a person being treated falling asleep, or even more like a field hospital.

"Is that ironic?

"Excuse me, that's not what I meant..."

"I can't help being sarcastic. It's a place like this."

"But is this the treatment room...... You're calmer than you are."

"Of course not."

"Treat everyone?

"It's not as therapeutic as it sounds. There are limits to witchcraft and medicine."

"Let me help you. A minor trauma would help me."

That's what Zem puts his arms around.

The patients who saw it were astonished.

I don't think there's ever been a doctor like that.

"... what can I do for you?

"Yellow Ghost Disease."

Zem begins to cure magic on the injured as he tells the name of his illness.

The injured man, who saw the wound clogged, raised his voice of joy.

"Are you the teacher's assistant? Thanks for the help."

"That's a knife wound... It's shallow, so it'll be blocked soon, but magic won't get you back the blood you lost. Like eating something nutritious."

"If you can do that, you won't have a hard time."

When the man laughed, the man awaiting treatment also gave a laugh of obedience.

Zem thinks it's useless to try to convince him, only to sigh.

"It's a difficult disease to discern, isn't it? I only know if the symptoms are peaking or if the patient has developed them. [M] Like Hale at the time, is there a 60% chance of discerning lurking or before it gets worse?"

"If that's all you know, you're good enough."

"Not as good as you. Any tricks?

"I told you before. I only have experience."

"It's terminal."

"If I can explain it in words, I won't have a hard time."

"If you stay here, you won't have any trouble with your patients."

"Right."

"... all the time, are you going to keep treating me?

"Not until I can explain it in words."

"To the words?

"How can I cure yellow ghost disease? How can I discover it before it gets heavy? Can we put the experience and intuition we have developed into a technology that can be replicated by everyone?"

That's a word full of hope.

Yellow ghost disease is not necessarily a fatal disease. But I don't know how many dead people will come out if it spreads in places where weak people gather. If Nargava's words materialize, there will be as many dead people as there are.

But the look on Nargava's face whining the words was full of fatigue.

He even looks like an old man.

"I thought it would be great. But why are you obsessed with yellow ghost disease?

"It's not a tough story."

Nargarva sighed small and then began to talk more or less.

"... Non is a senior priest of the temple of Lowell in Wangdu."

"Senior Cleric!?"

The senior clergyman is one of the upper levels of Zem of the past. Temple of Medler, where Zem was, and Temple of Lowell, where Nargava was. And the remaining two pillars, the temple dedicated to the Baer and Assaf gods, also use the same sequence as the advanced, intermediate and inferior.

But it boasts great power if it is also the temple of Lowell in the King's capital. It is no longer inferior to nobility. It was the difference between an intermediate cleric on the border and a cloud mud.

"That's why..."

"My daughter is dead. Yellow ghost disease."

Zem didn't say anything to the words.

Basically, yellow ghost disease is a sexually transmitted disease.

Having a child hanging from this disease is considered to have been rampant.

"He was resourceful, full of talent... but he loved pranks, and no matter how old he was, he couldn't lose sight of tea. That's why I treated him so hard.... but one time, get out of the house."

Zem didn't say anything.

Because I imagined the tragic developments that followed.

But Nargarva really coughs up.

"Don't make a fussy imagination. I was not indiscriminate because I was told otherwise. I touched the blood trying to fix the injured person that happened to meet me."

"Oh, no..."

"... it would be hard to think so. In fact, from around us, we are treated as shame."

The words are quiet.

But Nargarva's hand is gripped hard.

Zem was sensitive to unspeakable signs of anger.

"Non... used the money like hot water to retract her daughter's scandal. But whatever I did, it worked the other way. In the end, the bad reputation of parents who failed to protect their children spread, betrayed by merchants who did it for convenience, and driven down by other clerics who saw it as a good opportunity... at the end of the day, it was a broken gate. Non has nothing to protect anymore. I'm not even willing to prolong my life. potatoes."

I have the rest of my heart.

Nargarva shrugged with a faint voice to the extent that she could hear or not.

"... so, treat yellow ghost disease"

"Well, that's not all."

"No, I'm impressed. My immaturity smudges me."

"I don't need a compliment."

"I mean it...... I was broken because I was immature."

"You broke the commandments?

"I didn't break it... but you won't be trusted"

"Those who have broken the commandments have been decided, and they say they are not."

"I guess."

Zem laughed bitterly, but kept talking.

However, the treatment did not stop, and the patients remained quiet without mixing up with Zem's conversation.

"A girl who's not even old enough to tell me she was raped. I wish it was just a prank, but I was caught using it by a jealous colleague, treated like a villain who raped a girl while I was at it, and ended up broke"

"... right"

"There was a lot going on after that. We don't care about commandments, we hold women and prostitutes in boarding towns, we become adventurers, we defeat demons, we earn pennies, we let them do it freely."

"Let's do it, Cleric."

"Let me introduce you to a good woman."

"Don't worry, there are already familiar women."

The rash and the patients spill laughter, but Zem streams the joke with a cool face.

Don't you have any grudges?

"Oh, you believe me?

"I don't know if you're lying or sincere. But either way, you can't stay calm with the people who pushed you."

"Right, I resent you. Seeing a girl in a similar outfit makes me feel like my chest is ripped off. I don't even know what would happen if there was someone in front of me."

"I don't know."

That Nargava voice had no usual dry indifference.

Perhaps the patients had never heard such a Nargava voice. The silence mixed with a spoonful of awkwardness crept into the infirmary. Nargarva coughed it off, as she shook it off.

"... than that, I guess I want to ask you something. Did you say [Survivor] or something?

"Oh, you know what?

"The story of the Adventurer Guild also reaches here. I guess I'm looking for something like a stepman. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do to help. I don't even know."

"... Was it, too bad"

That's all Zem said and focused on treating the remaining patients.

Around ten people cleaned up,

"I'm leaving."

and tell Nargarva.

Nargarva looked surprised.

"Are you leaving?

"Oh, should I help you more?

"I didn't pull it off... well, thanks"

"It's not enough to be thanked"

That's what Zem said and headed to the entrance and exit.

"... oh, can I ask you one last thing?

"What?"

"Do you like kids?

Nargarva closed her eyes and sighed.

"I loved my daughter."
