The next day. I took a step into the woods to make the spirits meet Elvira, it was that moment.
Never before have so many grains of light surrounded us - no, Elvira - and the next moment, they had guided us to the spring water. While I still wondered if she had reacted to Elvira, who was suffering from the disease, I was relieved that she had been safely guided without Lukersch.
Looking back. Then Arnold had his eyes wide and round, and next to him his sister Elvira had the exact same face. He was a brother and sister, and if he sidestepped his gaze while realizing yet another fact, Mr. Merzedes blushed his cheeks and looked around like he was intrigued.
"The great tree that was the Great Spirit of the past is over there, and the spring water that is gushing from its roots is called 'Spirit Drinking Water'..."
I glance at Daiki once, and then look back at the Elviras again. Then,
"The spirits come together..."
Elvira was completely surrounded by grains of light.
Can they still see that Elvira is eating herself sick? When I thought so, my chest swelled to expectations.
Terrified, Elvira reaches out to the spirits drifting around her. And fingertips touched, moments. A grain of light was wrapped in a small flame.
"Burned!?
For a moment I mistakenly thought Elvira had used magic, but for that I was uncomfortable that her fingers were burning themselves too - after a few seconds (later) I finally realized that was a symptom of autopsy.
Suddenly, like this, the flames strike that little body without any foretaste?
While I was completely solidified, Mr. Merzedes, who ran over, magically began to treat burns on his fingertips. Relieved that the burns on his fingertips quickly disappeared with healing magic. I guess it's still a mild symptom.
"... sorry"
Elvira lurks her voice and apologizes to the spirits who have burned trying to get caught up in the symptoms of autologous disease. As the grain of light approached under the fluttering spring water, it sank itself straight into the water. And a few seconds later, I came out of the water - a figure of the Spirit flying around completely fine.
Seeing how it was, Elvira seemed relieved, too. Her chest seems to tighten tightly on her side as she grips her fingertips all the time.
I want to save Elvira Rocco.
It wasn't out of sympathy or a sense of duty, it was just a sentiment that, as one person, resembled a desire for asylum for a girl much smaller than herself.
"Elvira, come here"
Reach for Elvira. Her fingertips shrunk tightly as she hesitated to lay her hands on my palm. For a moment I wondered if you were still alert to me, but if you were, you wouldn't be reaching out in the first place - I came to the conclusion that you were remembering earlier, that the flames emanating from you had injured the Spirit.
If you still think about the little girl's heart, I think that would be horrible. Others get hurt because of themselves. If I was in the same position, I must try to avoid contact with others as much as possible.
- That's why you took your hand from me.
Smile at Elvira with her black eyes round, and clasp her hands. And when I took her to the spring water, I shrugged a small amount of water in the cup I had prepared, and offered it to her.
"Can you drink, Elvira?"
Elvira stared at the water in the cup for a few seconds, without hesitation, all at once. Then drink up vigorously enough to hear a grunt, then slowly open your mouth.
"... my chest is a little neat, maybe"
From Elvira's words, at least it shouldn't have had a negative impact - what a hard answer to judge, I looked back unexpectedly to confirm with Arnold. Then Mr. Merzedes almost walked over here, so I leave Elvira to her. Then he approached Arnold, who stood a little further away.
Line up next to him and ask him divulging his voice so Elvira wouldn't hear him.
"How long has it been since the symptoms of autopsy hit Elvira's body?
"Symptoms of a fire like the one we had earlier are about once every ten days. Recently, however, he always said that he would have heartburn. Perhaps that's one of the symptoms..."
To Arnold's answer, I finally understood exactly what Elvira's words meant earlier.
She said her chest was refreshed after drinking the spirit's drinking water, which was being attacked by symptoms like heartburn. That means.
"If so, is it working a little..."
I didn't get a dramatic effect the moment I drank it, but maybe I can have a little hope.
For example, if it was a game, people whose condition is abnormal and who are eroded by the poison will see the poison display on the status screen, and the display will disappear if a healing drug with detoxifying effect is used, so I can see at a glance that it is ”cured". But it doesn't work that way either in real life. There may still be indications on the Elvira status screen indicating autopsy, and that indication may have disappeared by prescribing a powerful healing drug called Spirit Drinking Water earlier.
I'm being honest with you. But all this has to be judged slowly, calmly.
"- Hehe, thank you"
Raising her gaze at the laughter, Mr. Merzedes was just playing with the spirits. She is somehow playing with the grains of light at her fingertips, and Elvira stares tilted at her neck at the look of it.
I asked aloud how I felt as I walked over to Mr Merzedes and the others for a few steps.
"Mr. Merzedes, can you hear the Spirit?
"Slightly, though. I'm very worried about Elvira."
After all, the elves, a species that is said to have spirits in their ancestors, seem to be able to hear the voices of the spirits somewhat. Yet Elvira at the time is tilting her neck so firmly that she cannot understand the meaning of Mr. Merzedes' words. Maybe she hasn't received the Spirit's word in her ear.
Then I look back and ask him what about Arnold.
"Does Mr. Arnold sound like him?
"I can't hear you.... because the blood of the elves in us is thin."
The blood of the elves in us is thin.
I lean my neck because I can't chew the words well, which seem to hold some translation. What do you mean, Arnold opened his mouth again before I asked back.
"Clap out, I don't know if the expression is correct, but somehow, I don't know what it feels like."
I nod at Arnold's words, whose tail is plundering from tiredness.
If earlier scenes had been played in the game, it could have taken an inspiring and spectacular BGM. Because I (the player) would decide that autopsy could have been completely cured in this event. Or if there was some disturbing BGM on it, that's nothing more than a sign that it couldn't be fully healed. Those expressions of "legibility”, of course, but they don't give me reality.
To be honest, there was not so much confidence that autopsy would be completely cured only by the spirit's drinking water. That's why I can't really feel it.
(... at least now, she looks fine)
As far as Elvira's autopsy is concerned, I can't say much about not seeing how things are going for some time to come. Maybe he could have been completely cured with only the spirit's drinking water, or maybe he just temporarily suppressed his symptoms.
Either way, however, it turns out that the drinking water of the Spirit, which is very small, has an effect on autopsy. This is a huge harvest. Even if you couldn't fully heal it, you might eventually see the goal if you encouraged the formulation based on the spirit's drinking water.
"I can't say it's fully healed yet. Let's see how it goes for a while."
It was still a stiff voice, but Arnold's black eyes did have a relief color on them.
Those black eyes stared gently at his beloved sister.
