I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)

Let's go talk to Robren. Well, I'll go back to Weena Lane first and report on the Lane stalls. I would have settled down already.

But before I could spare you, I remembered something I wanted to ask Grandma Jill.

"Hey, Scarlet Water Medicine, does it affect anything around you?

"What do you want?

"Yesterday -"

Explain that there was some discomfort with hydromagic when helping a ship attacked by Modoki, and explain whether the cause was scarlet water medicine or Modoki's body fluids.

Then Grandma Jill nodded to her satisfaction.

"Right...... Miss, if you're in your class, you might feel it. Maybe it's Scarlet Water."

"Really?

"You did use space-time magic, didn't you?

"Mmm."

"Then I also nod sensitive"

And Grandma Jill gave me an explanation.

"The water in this lake is slightly mixed with magic"

"Magic?"

"Oh, it's magic close to the space-time system."

"Hmm. Why?

"Well, we don't know that either. All I'm saying is, it's been like that for hundreds of years."

People around here seem to live to think that's what it is, and they don't really question it.

"Of course, it's just so little that you can't feel it at all, normally. You didn't get it, either."

"Mmm."

Sure, we wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for Scarlet Water. It seems to be a very small amount of magic.

It just didn't have any effect on the surroundings. That's the wind and earth disease that roots in this country.

It is not caused by germs or the like, but by the fact that they continue to consume the water from Lake Vivian, which is a source of water, from birth.

In fact, they say wind and earth diseases do not exist in areas that use water sources other than a few lakes in the country.

The mechanism is simple. Continuing to drink the water from the lake builds up space-time magic in your body.

As a result, only a little bit of that magic leads to a state of haste. The point is that the water in the lake acts as a very weak haste potion.

However, nobody notices because the effect is really negligible. I don't realize it, but my senses and body reactions continue to deviate, causing me to accumulate fatigue and become even more intoxicated. That was who the wind and earth disease was.

Adults rarely develop because once they do, their bodies get used to it and they have no problems. In the first place, many adapt without developing.

Nor, however severe, did wind and earth diseases alone lead to death. It's like a terrible car sickness.

Besides, if you take the special effects, they will heal as soon as possible. As a result, humans in this country did not attach that much importance to this wind and earth disease.

It's like measles that you might suffer only once in your life, without the risk of death. Naturally, some people die in accidents caused by co-morbidity with other diseases or ill-health, but that doesn't change there with colds, etc.

"And the magic of space-time magic resides in its special effects."

Scarlet aquatic grass, which only grows in the Lake Vivian water system, was resistant to its water.

Simply put, the stem has the effect of playing space-time magic and disturbing it, so it protects itself from the water in the lake.

And inside it, they have the power to accumulate and control the magic contained in the water absorbed from the roots.

By extracting those effects from scarlet herbs, special effects of wind and earth disease are created.

Taking this medicine will further enhance the haste effect on your body. As a result, the brain becomes aware of sensory discrepancies and immediately adjusts them.

The human body was an amazing thing, and once he understood the feeling of adjusting, he never got drunk again.

"I'm talking about a guy who's suited for space-time magic, and he says it's about one-hundredth as effective as Haste, even when he's drugged and fortified."

Even so, Fran, who is used to using haste from time to time, probably felt it as a big slack. They were accelerating it on their own.

Besides, if the water you're manipulating is itself imbued with its magic, even less so than usual.

However, questions remain.

I feel like I heard what you're saying, and wind and earth disease is not like being infected. So, can it mean it's going to be as popular as this year?

I can't help but get a certain number of patients out every year, but I don't know why it's fashionable.

When Fran asks, Grandma Jill gives a few reasons.

"There's a lot going on. First, the number of children born. After the war, there will be years when more children will be born?

Apparently, there's a baby boom in this world, too.

"If those children grow up to some extent and suffer from wind and earth disease at the same time, this will mean that there are more patients than usual"

Other than that, a few years after accepting immigrants from foreign countries, they have more patients. In the end, if there are ever more intolerant humans at once, that can trigger it.

"The rest depends on the climate. In a year when it's a little warm and foggy, the amount of water that really enters your body increases. That increases the number of patients."

"I see."

"Others include the prevalence of new breeds of crops that use a lot of water and the development of new methods of liquor. Oh, there were times when more patients were affected by the prevalence of the type of incense dissolved in water."

Water is inseparable from people's lives, so trivial reasons can lead to an increase or decrease in people with wind and earth diseases.

"So for what reason are we getting more patients this year?

"Well...? It often turns out why after the fashion, and I don't know about Atashi. That's why you ask Master Weena Lane."

You mean it's not under the jurisdiction of the Adventurer Guild? Indeed, the state and research institutes will be responsible for the reasons for the epidemic.

We're going back to Weena Lane after this anyway, and I'll ask then.
