We came to a room with bookshelves lined up on one side of the wall.
In the center is a large bed, and next to it is another large white chair.It's a lightly stretchable bench with a footrest.
It was a calm room based on pale green and white.
This is Laurier's room.
"Yes, it's at the back of the throne room."Now, you guys are just right for the couch around here. "
While guiding the sofa around the large chair by hand, Laurier rode the glowing path and moved to the front of the white chair.
Huh.
Po suddenly threw himself out, half-rotated, and sat down.
And then, once again, I turned to my side.
Just make sure we're all sitting on the couch.
"We've all arrived, [Unbuild]...."
And he smote the shining way with his staff, and the way was wiped out with a few centimetres.
"That's it," he said.... now, that explains it. "
After taking a breath, Laurier opened his mouth, placing his staff beside the chair.
"Oh, and tell me all about your illness, or what Palm wanted to talk about."
"I see.... no matter what you say with your mouth, I think it will be easy to understand." I'll show you first. "
Having said that, she took off her shoes and rolled the hem of the dress she was wearing.
From where they were hiding with their clothes, they were exposed to the thin, thin legs.
But it wasn't just a leg.
"This is..."
From the toes of her feet to her knees, her feet were like clear stones.
It has a crystal-like texture.
The condition is linked to the skin tone of the knee.Some of my thighs looked like crystals.
"It's not a prosthetic leg, is it?" What is this state? "
Laurier nodded, telling her to do a quick check.
"Foot crystallization. I wonder if this is the disease I'm suffering from, or a curse.It's just a regular leg of meat.If you scrape it, you'll bleed. "
"Pompously," Laurier said, tapping her crystallized knee.
Even the sound is hard.
From the sound, there are no pieces of flexibility.
From what I can see, my knees are almost bent.
"... this is why I haven't walked properly all this time."
Laurier said, opening his eyes slightly.
"Oh... you've been noticed that I can't walk."
"Well, I've never seen her walk properly since we met."
Even until I got here in the first place, I walked one step, two steps, and poked my staff, but the way I walked was irregular with most of my weight on my staff.
And to get here, we use moving sidewalks.
I knew there was a reason.
"This is a symptom I've never seen before, my best friend."
“Yeah. I've never seen anything like it.”
I agree with what Daisy said.
I've never seen a disease or curse burned or frozen by magic, or crystallized.
If I were to make a strong and similar expression, it would be about petrochemical, but if I were to do that, it would be different.
Since when?
"In the previous war, a demon called the Demon King's army cadre who attacked the spirit world..."They defeated them and drove them away, but I wonder if it's a post-war sequel. "
It was the devil's doing, and I narrowed my eyes inside.
... they often dye their hands for magic and curse improvement.
It wouldn't be strange to bring a curse that would cause such strange symptoms.
"I see. I know where to start. So, it was a long time ago in terms of time.Have you tried treatment? "
The one who answered my question was Palm, who sat next to Laurier.
"Yes, the medical guild's peony gave me a medicine to relieve the curse."It was somewhat subdued.And we know how to treat it. "
Laurier speaks as if following the words.
"There is a record of the Spirit City from generation to generation here."There was a description of the person who developed the same symptoms and how to treat them. ”
She glanced at the bookshelf behind her chair,
”With the [Fountain of Spirit God], you can cleanse your body of the curse that nests in it.”
Daisy, who was listening to the story, organized the information that came out in her head and heard what she noticed on the spot.
"Hmm, that means."Laurier's legs couldn't be cured even though you knew how to cure them? "
Laurier nodded tinyly to the words.
"Yes, there is a cure.However, there is a "troublesome journey" far away from the fountain of the Spirit God.My legs were stuck, and it was hard to get there. ”
"That's why I had to go to the medical guild first after receiving medical treatment and moving my legs."According to Peony's diagnosis, "it is possible to weaken the curse and restore the function until you can walk."
See, Daisy is convinced by the words Palm has added.
It is true that if your legs do not move, you will not be able to move.
If so, it is difficult to get to a place that is distant and distant.
Well then, for a moment, the prospect of healing stood still, didn't it?
"Yes.... until the spirits path was blocked by the Uroboros raid and medical treatment could no longer be provided to the medical guild..."
Palm narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Laurier's leg.
"In the past few months, the princess' medical condition has worsened all at once."Until just a few months ago, the crystallization that was only on the toes had already progressed to this point.... the medicine that Axel delivered to me before can't be suppressed anymore. "
Ah, when you came over here, Peony said you wanted me to give it to you. Was it a medicine for Laurier?
In response to Axel's words, Palm returns an affirmation.
"Yes, the curse that the medicine can't contain anymore, the curse that is nesting in the princess's body is in progress."
Hearing those words, Daisy turns her head, no, thinking.
There are many progressive curses in this world, and I have been involved in them several times as an alchemist.
So,
"Palm. If the curse goes on like this, will the princess's whole body crystallize?"
In response to his predictions, Palm shook his head vertically with a deep breath.
"In the eyes of the medical guild, Peony-san, the curse mechanism is about to become a mechanism."
Palm with a serious expression.
However, Laurier, who was next to it, had a look that hadn't changed so far.
"Well, it seems to take about a dozen years."Until it's all over the body. My peony says I'm not going to die anytime soon.
Gently shake the cane on the table in front of the chair.
A tea set appeared on the table.
Then, while moving the teapot by waving his cane, he said it without any hesitation.
"That's why I told Parom that I didn't have to rush so much because I wasn't stuck in time.I had to solve a big problem called ouroboros. "
"But, princess, since the ouroboros has been defeated, you should be able to go to treatment."And with the only cure, Axel is going to be incredibly comfortable. ”
"Well, that's true, but..."
And when Laurier and Palm had spoken these words, Axel humbled himself, and struck him with a hammer.
"--In other words, I feel like I've heard a story.Are you asking us to take Laurier to the fountain of the spirit gods? "
In his words Palm nodded vigorously,
"I'm right...! Could you help me...?"
I made a request with a squeezing voice.
And Axel was not troubled,
"Oh, I'll totally help you."I was taking care of it in the Spirit City, and I wanted to return it to you. "
“I agree with my best friend.I'll help you, too. "
Laurier was the first to react to the words that were released without hesitation.
“Is that okay?”
I said it in a slightly toned-down tone.Axel nodded back to her, saying,
"After hearing the details, I just think about what I can and can't do."After all, it's definitely in my mind that I want to help you take care of yourself. I don't mind. "
With those words, Laurier opened her eyes slightly and felt a little relieved.
Thank you for saying that.
That's what I said as I loosened my mouth.
And beside her, Palm looked very happy.
"Ah, thank you...!" Now, let's explain the details--Where do we start? Princess! "
"That's why you need to calm down, Palm.... I see.We'll have another long talk from here, so let's start with a cup of tea. ”
Laurier said that with a bitter smile, pouring tea into the cup from the teapot she had already prepared.
