Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

Negotiations with the Wolf Demons 5

"Mr. Louveau, who are the similarly sick wolf demons? I'd like to check their symptoms and lifestyle before they happen, just in case."

Although all three were nervous, the next leaked voice from Mirage was as gentle as usual.

"Oh, yeah, the infected guys are all gathering in the building at the back of the village. The people at the forest entrance are about to return."

Levault has a stupid expression, but swiftly replies to Mirage, telling him where he is. Astalt and Rafale, who were released from the pressure of the previous moment, stared at Mirage with mysterious eyes as to what they were going to do. Demons can't use sacred magic like humans-they can't receive the goddess's blessing exactly-so they often use remedies prepared by a pharmacist for illness or injury. For injuries and general illnesses, drugs distributed within the demonic territory can be used in time, but it is no surprise that large-scale infectious diseases can only be dealt with with specialized knowledge like this time. However, from the point of view of Mirage, it is as if you were asking yourself a questionnaire, and it would be inevitable for Astalto and Rafal to wonder.

"Yes, let's go to the place where there is another sick person. Then, please mourn my father's body later, but please cremation, not burial, to kill the pathogenic bacteria. To do"

"Oh, hey, wait a minute. I wondered if you would see a sick person? A pharmacist in this village as well as in other villages, I have never seen or heard of a disease! It's a terrible illness that has died so many people besides my father that there is no way amateurs can do this. ''

"Yes, Mirage-sama, the first decision is to return to Devil's Castle and send a special medical team. We amateurs only waste time. I am bitter about medicine, These symptoms have never been seen or heard, and are arguably a new kind of infectious disease, before going to places where there are a lot of sick people, even if they may be infected before now. How dangerous! "

"That's right. No matter how much you can't use sacred magic, you can't use magic to solve it, unlike humans. I understand how much I can do, so understand you You must be there. ''

Starting with Levault, which is somewhat cooler, Astard and Rafal cast similar or similar ideas at Mirage, questioning and opposing. The wolf demons have multiple villages in a vast forest, and the top of all of them is the chief. Naturally, there are pharmacists who have taken medicine in every village, and if anyone cannot respond, it will be a rather unusual symptom. A long-lived demonic pharmacist has many years of experience and knowledge, and naturally understands even rare diseases, such as those that prevailed hundreds of years ago. However, the fact that many such pharmacists gather and have no idea, and that many are dead, increases the possibility of a new and vicious disease. Because the demons' body itself is stronger and more self-healing than humans, it is rare for them to die from some injuries or illnesses.

"... The idea is already there. It's a disease that was prevalent in ancient civilization, probably called scab."

Mirage answers as usual, but as well as Le Voutaux and Rafale, the surprise of Astart is even greater and raises more questions as to whether it is unacceptable.

"Why did Mirage know that? I know that he likes books from ancient civilizations, but he should be an outsider in the medical field. We don't even know the demons It's hard to believe, suddenly, with insights into serious diseases. ''

Since the demons are among the many demons and have long lives, they have a great deal of knowledge and experience, and many of the demons are active in the academic field. In fact, nearly half of the members of the Demon King's medical team are occupied by demons, and are studying day and night. Astalt is not an expert, but he does remember all the violent illnesses that could kill the demons in large numbers, and he always gets new information that the medical team is studying. That's why if it's something you don't know, and if it goes into the medical field, it's inevitable that you can't keep silent.

"... My father died of illness when I was young, but ... I was a kid who didn't know anything at the time and couldn't do anything. One week later, I just remember because the ancient civilization-era book sold by the peddler in the city had exactly the same symptoms. "

In Mirage, who speaks a few words, everyone loses his words, including Asterth. Mirage, who was still a boy, lost his father in any way, and the cause was found only a week later. It's not hard to imagine why, a little earlier, what's now, probably cursed the world many times and regretted like that. Astalt is ashamed or remorseful of having reminded her of Mirage's painful past with her speech, and shouts down her face.

"Well, I'm sorry, my recognition was light."

It looks like a child who is angry at her parents, and the small astalt's back seems to have shrunk too much. Mirage slowly approached him in front of him, but Astarto was shaking his body.

"It's more than two hundred years old and I'm not worried about it now. So, if Tart-chan gets sick like that, I wonder if she's sad. My favorite Tart-chan is serious, She's a hard worker, she likes sweets, but she's poisonous without mercy.

Mirage then speaks in a voice that tells her while gently rubbing her head. It looked as if his father had taken care of his child, and Lafar and Louvet were just watching over quietly. Mirage turned to Le Vouteau, deciding that the tremors of the Astalt were resolved.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Lutevaux. I'm sorry, but I'll lend you a shoulder and ask for guidance."

"Oh, yeah. If you're really going to cure this illness, I'm fine with some irrationality. Honestly, I was prepared to die, so it's cheap."

In fact, the actions taken by the Levaults were dangerous bets, as can be seen in Rafale's rage. From an objective point of view, it is a method of deceiving and falsifying negotiations, and it is said that the whole village was destroyed by the Demon King's army because it was said that the four heavenly kings were harmed. Luvault himself may have been prepared to give treatment to the Wolf Demon instead of apologizing for giving his life and deceiving it. But Mirage is cooperative rather than furious, and it is undoubtedly due to his bitter past experience. When Mirage heard Levault's response, he quickly engraved a magic mark on the floor, then opened the gate and removed something like clothing.

"Rafa, I'll leave my clothes here, so I'll tell you with the contact ball that Tart has when I'm done, because I'll call him with the magic mark there. I'll let you go. "

With that in mind, Luffet lent his shoulders without listening to Rafale's response, and Mirage rushed out of the room.

"Oh, I was careless. I usually get sick, and sometimes I get serious."

While saying that, Rafale, who had unraveled the dragon, was a figure that could not be tied up, reaching for the change of clothes that Mirage had left. Dragonification magic changes its appearance drastically, so of course, all the clothes that he wore before will be destroyed. That's why Rafal usually carries on changing clothes as much as possible, but in the event of an attack etc., he left it in a carriage so that his luggage would not be in the way, and Mirage had previously taken it out with transfer magic It is. And what Rafal said was not only about changing his clothes, but also about Astalt next door. I don't know the expression is down, but many drops of water were spilling on the tatami at the foot of Astalt. I was not aware of the Wolf Monk's scheme at all, I was slow to understand compared to Mirage, I was caught stuck by my own fixed concept, and I was comforted by the person who was told that Thing. Perhaps the emotions swirling in the astalt are regrets, jealousy, shame ... and thanks. Mirage left the place with the guise of changing Rafale's clothes because he had sensed the situation of Astalt. Astalt's pride is so high that you wouldn't want to be seen by yourself as a rival, but if you're a raffa who's nervous in his mouth but still a childhood friend and no exaggeration to say his best friend , And Mirage thought. And not to be told by Rafale, it's not hard to imagine that Astart himself understands it best.

"Absolutely ... absolutely ... follow ... about ...... show me"

While crying out loud, Astart raises his face and refreshes his resolve. Rafal looks at such a close friend and expresses that he cannot help but quickly tightens his face.

"Fun, I can't just be the same. Well, being the four kings, I'm one step ahead of you, but the crybaby tart."

It was Rafal who hated his mouth as usual, but it was probably an expression of her kindness. And, like Astalt, his red eyes had a strong determination.

"... I think it's difficult for Rafa with a low boiling point. I can see that she is taken by a good Mirage-like bead before the battle. I am able to carry things calmly first. Rafa wouldn't know if he had been a four king without Mirage. ''

Astalt, who has returned to his usual condition, is quite calm and begins to fight back against Rafale. Rafal returns to Astart in a hurry, as if he was surprised at an unexpected fact.

"Well, why do you know that! Well, maybe that black sprouts would have talked about something extra."

"It's a mistake if I don't know anything. I won't reveal the source, but I'm hearing details from a trusted source. Anything with Mirage in front of my father."

"--Ah! Ah! Stop it any more! Tart, no tart, please forgive me!"

Rafal clings to Astart and begins pleading desperately for how much she does not want to be told. Thus, the peaceful and smiling exchange of the childhood friend, close friend and rival continued for a while, and Mirage, who was worried that she was too slow to contact, was a bit later.
