The living room at home was covered in heavy air.

Today, the second week after the discovery of the pregnancy, the girls are gathering again in my house.

Caorle, Artie, François, Astrea, they must all have worried about Umiel.Elu and Melissa follow Old Dragon's examination, and I am accompanied by Lootu, Walmire, and two girls.

It felt like a hospital waiting room.We couldn't do anything but wait, and it inflated our unnecessary anxiety, impatience, and negative emotions without limits.

(Why on earth... how did this happen...?)

I hold my head and ask myself.Who would have expected this two weeks ago?

I'm sure you didn't find any particular problem.At the same time, it was light, and if the menu was devised, it could be eaten normally.Yet Umiel was in a bad mood and couldn't even get up on his own this morning.

(I don't have a cold either. It's not an epidemic)

It was a symptom of unknown cause.It seems that mysterious diseases cannot be cured by magic, and the effects of secret and psychic drugs are too strong to have a negative impact.

I hear you can prescribe antipyretics and sedatives.

Everyone here had the same idea that such a thing could only overtake the field.

"Taka Hiro..."

"Nh...? What...?"

"Yumi, are you okay...?"

"..... ahh"

"Yumi, you're going to save me...?"

"..... ahh"

I nodded my head a couple of times to a question from a walnut similar to a plea.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Umiel needs to be saved.While telling myself, however, I could not help but feel the fear of the bottomless.

You kept me waiting.

"......!"

Eru-san!

The door to the living room opened.The old dragon, Melissa, headed by Eru, appeared, and we greeted her with our hips raised.

"Ah, so..."

What's the result?

What's the result?!

From my side, the girls head for Eru.

Melissa, Old Dragon had a steep gaze, and I was reminded that they were serious and driven by impatience.

I'm the only one who's folding in my ass.I want to know. I want to know the truth.But there was certainly a feeling of being scared of it, and I stood up and still couldn't move a step.

When I thought that Eru and the others had glanced at it...

Instead of getting consent, he started talking in a pale tone.

"You've made everyone wait."I just finished all the tests. ”

"Yumi is sleeping with her medicine now."I think the symptoms are stable. "

"There's no fear of anything happening soon, is there?"But, well..... "

"... but?"

I noticed my voice trembling.

Whether my body was tense, hot or cold, a strange sensation shook my sight.

The three of them stopped talking and looked at each other with a stiff expression, wondering what was wrong with them.But it didn't last long, and Eru told me this in a calm manner.

"Listen, Taka Hiro-kun." Just calm down and listen to me. "

"W-what are you doing?"

"It's about Yumiel-kun's symptoms.She's got a special immunodeficiency right now. ”

"Special immunodeficiency...?"

"Oh, you're a little weird, aren't you?"And Yumiel-kun is also a very rare species of fairy species. "

"It's a rare thing, though..."

When a fairy species becomes a child, some of its opponents rarely get sick.

"That's what immunodeficiency is all about, Yumiel."

"That's not true...!?"

I am stunned by the facts revealed.The gaze in the room poured on me, and Elu and the others watched me with a slightly pathetic face.

”Because I... I hugged him?”

Oh, that's not true!

It's a factor, but it's not everything.

"There's no choice but to say this was all a bad circle."

The three of us immediately followed me.But the shock didn't subside, and now I feel like I'm going to get caught up in it.

Depending on the opponent, they rarely feel sick.

The old dragon's words began to swirl around his head.The opponent. Depending on the opponent. The opponent was the cause, which meant that I felt like the source of all kinds of evil.

No, no, but!

What is it?

"Now that you know the name of the disease... you're going to be cured!?"It can be cured by medicine or magic or something like that!? "

In the chaos, it was the only light of hope left.A dragon who studied medicine with scholars and saints.With this, I'm sure Emiel's illness will be cured.

I turned to the three of them with a laughing face.But what was returned was a heavy silence, and for a moment my head turned pure white.

The girls gathered here also looked anxious and waited for the next words.In the heavy air, Eru and the others opened their mouths again.

"There's a cure..."

"Ah, ahhh...!"

The three of them continued to control me by leaking a voice of relief.

“Fairytale, a flower that blooms secretly on a clear plateau on a moonlit night.”

"But it's a herb called a phantom..."

"I'll go look for it now and see if I can find it..."

The three of them showed a dark face.Girls with desperate expressions.I suddenly felt like I had lost my footing, and this time I was about to fall to the floor.

(... but!)

You can't give up. I can't give up!!

I put my strength into my legs, so that I could bounce and jump out of my house.

"Ah, Taka, Taka Hiro-kun!?"

Taka Hiro-kun! Taka Hiro-kun!!

The voice calling for me quickly moved away, and the sound of cutting off the wind swept away.[Call] rang several times and naturally escaped out of range.

I run. I run hard.He ran over the roof, jumped over the walls, and eventually ran without slowing down when he reached outside the city.

I remembered the scene in the winding wind.I was travelling with my fellow adventurers.Among them, I saw a rare flower called Fairytale.Yusuke, a knowledgeable person, told me about the local atlas in one hand.Many years have passed since then, and now I am sure that if I go there, I will find it.

(Otherwise...!)

Umiel will not be rewarded too much.He's the girl who's supposed to be happier from now on... and he's supposed to know more and experience more!

You can't die here.There's even a baby in my stomach.And yet, why, why is this happening?

Intuitively, I thought this was punishment.

It's a heavenly punishment for being lazy and annoying.

Are you going to be a good father? You're gonna be a good shopkeeper?You're saying such a good thing, you're going to be in trouble for the most important thing.

I'm sure Umiel won't be helped. I'm sure you won't find any medicinal herbs.I went back to the city without a second hand, and by that time, the girl's breathing had stopped...

"... no! No, no, no!!"

Crying out as thoughts sprang up endlessly.

This is not a punishment. This is sick!The medicine will help Umiel, and it'll help him get back on his feet!

Don't forget what I'm running for.With all your heart, find the herb you want as soon as possible.

Abandon your backward thoughts and just keep driving to your destination.Even so, the tears overflowed, and I ran through the meadow, crying.

Now, this is the end of the case.After that, I succeeded in collecting the Fairy Tails and was able to return to the King's City in just one night.

Of course, Umiel was able to get out of the crisis.The roasted herbs were a cure for the immunodeficiency that afflicted her.

Well, it's a bit different than if that was my trick...

I don't want to say much, but I was just wasting my time.

"Aquaculture is on the market!!!!!"

At the top of the opening, that was the dialogue that I shouted with my eyes closed.

Yumiel's room rushed in breathlessly. There, I was explained to the old dragon, and this time I completely froze.

"No... no, but even a phantom herb..."

I barely resurrected, and I managed to get it out of my mouth.

Elu and Melissa continued their conversation, carefully choosing their words, as they showed me how to confuse me.

It's true that natural things are illusory.

It seems that cultivation techniques have been established in recent years.

"Precious is precious, but if you want to buy it, you can buy it."

"No, but even the atlas is a rare flower..."

That's why it's unusual.

Natural products, though?

When I heard that word, I couldn't help but drop my hips at the spot.Even so, there was still unexplained thoughts, and he cried out with a deep breath.

"If that's the case, you can say that from the beginning...!!"

I thought you jumped out without asking.

"That's why I told you to 'calm down and listen' first."

When I was told, I said, "Ahhhhhhhh...!"”He moaned and crawled to the floor.

No more. It's the biggest vacancy in years.From tiredness and shame, the three of them treated me like a beetle with a gentle attitude.

"Don't worry." I have already ordered and administered the prescription drug. "

"The symptoms have also improved dramatically."That's great, Taka Hiro-kun! "

"Ohhhh...!"

It's spinning and spinning like it's dressed.I want to disappear. I want to get out of here.When I finally tried to use the [Mirage] after being captured by such thoughts...

"...... Master"

Oh?

"...... I'm glad, Master."

Umiel was up on the bed when I got here.A girl in a sleepwear smiled and stared at me like a mother.

"... when I heard you jumped out of nowhere, I was worried at first."

Divided, Yumiel continued to talk softly.

"...... I'm glad you worked so hard for me after all"

With those words and a smile, I approached the bedside at will.As it was, I was just on my knees, and I checked Yumiel's complexion again.

You're okay now, aren't you?

"... yes"

It's nothing anymore, isn't it?

"... yes."

"I wish... ahhh..."

I nodded to Umiel, and now I'm going to buckle down to bed.While gently stroking my head, Yumiel throws a quiet question at the three of them.

"... that herb is okay for a healthy person to drink, right?"

Yeah? Yeah, well, that's right.

"It's also used as a good herb for beauty."You don't have to drink it for tea. "

"... then I'll give it to you"

Herbal tea? I think it's bitter, but are you okay?

"... yes, it was taken by your husband."

Three people smiled when they were caught by the smiling Umiel.Did you let her go? As she watched the three of them leave, Emiel lowered his voice to me.

"...... Master"

What?

"... I think there will be many events going on in the future."

"..... ahh"

We stare at each other. Fluffy curtains sway in the warm sunshine.

Umiel, who dyed her cheeks, was mouthing as if she had just shone a little---.

She immediately showed a bright face and whispered to me.

Let's be happy, shall we?

As spring deepens, the Easewind Flower Capital is showing an ever-growing bustle.

I wonder if the festivities are still going on somewhere today.Maybe there's a parade going on.

While listening to the cheers of such a city in the distance...

We were smiling at each other and vowing a happy future.
