Things are not good with the Tyrones. We have to deal with this as soon as possible, but the personnel we have now are not enough. It wasn't until Claire and the others arrived that the treatment began in earnest. In the meantime, I put the Tyrones to bed to prepare clean water.
By the time the whole street was ready, signs of Claire and the others were felt from outside the house. Looks like Claire and the others have arrived. Leaving Luna in her bedroom and returning to the living room, the front door slowly opens.
"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you."
It was Claire who came in first. He comes in worried. Then Raymond, standing in the living room, responded immediately.
"That was fast. You know exactly where I am."
Raymond doesn't know about maps or the presence of sign perception, so it seemed strange that the Lunas could have arrived here really well. Well, I don't have time to explain right now. Keep wondering.
"In the meantime, come inside, everyone. It's awkward if we don't hurry."
That said, Leeds and Mr. Lily also invited in.
"Huh? Is it that bad?
Leeds steps inside the house whining like that.
"Oh, that's pretty harsh. The whole family has the same symptoms, especially terrible children."
"Sick?"
"No, it's fish poison. I want you to see the symptoms first. I'm sleeping in my bedroom, so come on, everybody."
We took everyone and moved them to the bedroom, where we put three people to sleep in a small room about eight tatami tatami, and six more lined up. Narrow...... Raymond's figure is too big.
It's not the room for the nine of us to get in, but the only way to tell everyone about the treatment plan at once is to put up with it.
"Ah... you're all here"
says Luna as she holds the child's hand. The child breathes shallow and the symptoms appear to be progressing considerably.
"As you can see, the main symptom is general paralysis. Leave me alone and I'll stop breathing. Everybody help me with the treatment."
Upon completion of the stiff explanation, Tyrone, one of whom had relatively mild symptoms, rose to peel.
"I'll help you, too."
Tyrone's symptoms are to the extent that he can walk on his own if he works hard, and the conversation can continue without delay. That's why I'm not going to do anything Tyrone can move.
"I don't want it. Whenever it gets worse, it's not weird, so go to sleep quietly."
"... right"
Tyrone lay down again with a bumpy look on his face.
"Well, I just want to get to work on the treatment. It may not work, but I'm thinking of trying some healing magic"
There are three sick people, and three of us can use healing magic. Critical, but manages to get enough. If you compensate for the missing magic in potion, it's not impossible to keep hanging healing magic all day.
Leeds and Claire are going to have potions and water ready, and Raymond is going to ask for other chores and a response to the visitors.
As I worked out the plan, suddenly Claire pinched her mouth.
"Hey... wouldn't a panacea work?
"A panacea?
Tyrone peered into Claire with frigid eyes. Let me explain something.
"It's a panacea with a Wyburn horn. Sure, that might work."
"That's superstitious, isn't it? It can't be real."
I think the reaction, in a way, is correct. Tyrone is a former adventurer, so you should know as much as he rumors about panacea. Naturally, that doesn't even exist... If you applied it to his common sense, you'd think it was a suspicious drug, no matter what you think.
"That's what I made. This is where Claire made it."
"Claire!? Isn't that amazing! When did you get to make something like that!?"
Raymond shouts. You don't seem to suspect Claire of fine dust either. Should I say Claire is trusted or should I just say Raymond is stupid honest...... But this is a suspicious drug that I admit to myself. I think you should suspect Raymond a little too.
"I happen to have all the ingredients. I know it's not a harmful drug, but I don't know if it works..."
Leeds proved with his own hands that this medicine was harmless. But it's a different matter of whether it works. I think it's likely to work, but I don't know that I won't try it. That is why it is a 'suspicious medicine'. It is not recommended with confidence.
But you should try anything you can. Even healing magic doesn't work, so choose a more likely method. If it doesn't seem to work, you just need to use healing magic in combination.
"That's better than a healing magic push of gori. It's still going to heal."
"... ok. Please. I'll pay you as much as I want."
Looks like Tyrone is willing to pay for it, but he's not going to charge it this time. As much as I want to pay for this one because they let me use medicines that have uncertain effects. Because it's like a study job.
"Well, the money story is after the pills work. In the meantime, take your pills quietly."
Even while we're talking about gold, the symptoms get worse and worse. Before we talk about anything extra, let's just get him drugged. Claire should be doing research on the dose. You should leave it to Claire, rather than let me drink it properly.
"Bye, Claire. Please."
"Okay."
Claire nodded quietly and took the panacea out of the magic bag.
The Tyrones fell asleep as soon as Claire gave them a panacea. It's going to be important. In case it didn't work on the panacea, switch to healing magic immediately. To this end, we must constantly observe the Tyrones.
"I can't help watching you all. We haven't had breakfast yet, so let's take a break."
"Right. Well, at first, Atashi's watching. Everybody rest first."
"No, you should have two. I'll stay here, too."
We're not doctors, and we don't have high-performance medical machines. Confirm symptoms with visual and signs perception. Sign perception is a technique that feels powerful and weak in magic, so we know some changes in state.
"Excuse me...... then let us take a break first"
Luna said that and left the bedroom behind. Leeds and Mr. Lily follow suit. Raymond leaves at the end, but he turns around at the entrance to the room and calls out to me.
"I'm sorry. Let me rest first, too."
"No, Raymond had breakfast, didn't he? Do me a favor."
Raymond can't use sign detection, so it doesn't make sense to stay in the bedroom. I'll take care of chores in the living room.
"... that stuff, I don't go in there while I eat it... okay. Got it."
Raymond says with a bitter laugh. Sure, I was on my way to eating, but I should have finished eating for about a serving. There will be no such thing as being hungry and unable to move.
We kept watching the Tyrones as they took turns. Would it have been about a few hours? As early as now, the poison is out. The breaks for the change were in second order, and me and Claire were back in the bedroom again.
"How's it going?
"Breathing is stable. Looks like the pills are working."
"Oh well..."
The most important thing in the treatment of fugue poison is to stabilize your breathing. I can't say I'm comfortable, but it doesn't seem so problematic.
"Koh is familiar with this poison, isn't he?
"No, to the point of overhearing. I don't know much about it."
It's shallow knowledge to the extent I've seen it on TV, so I don't know the details. All I know is to that extent that the toxic areas vary depending on the type or that the ovaries and liver will never be eaten. Sure, there must have been some kind that had absolutely no edible area. Well, I can't tell.
"Why don't you tell me as far as you know?
"It's a pretty strong poison, but it disappears fast. Was it more or less a half to a day..."
Higher lethality but faster disappearance of poison means that the time between onset and death is also short. The fact that there is no respite of time when the poisoning symptoms occur will also be a characteristic of fugue poison.
"That early?
"It seems so. I'm not an expert, so I can't say for sure."
While I was talking to Claire, there was movement in bed.
"Ugh..."
Tyrone leaks his voice with a bitter face and opens his eyes.
"Did you wake up? How's it going?
"What about my wife and children?!?"
Tyrone got up gabbling, screaming like that.
"I'm still asleep. I've been watching how things are going, but so far I haven't had a problem. How's Tyrone?
"Well... no, I'm nothing more. My hands and feet move, my mouth moves."
"Sounds like it."
When I answered that, I heard a groan from next to Tyrone saying, "Ugh..." You heard Tyrone shouting, and your wife and children seem to have woken up. I tried to speak to my wife, but Tyrone shouted before that.
"Are you okay?!?"
"Yes......"
Your wife nodded powerlessly. Kids don't seem to understand what they're talking about, and they're Kyoton. Looks like we weren't conscious when we got here, so we can't help but understand the situation.
"You're relieved for one second. You'd better stay asleep today."
"Thank you...... that helped"
His wife bowed deeply as she slept on the bed. The voice and language are normal. He seemed to have been able to treat it safely without any particular sequelae.
You won't have to worry about it anymore for today, but let's be careful with one word.
"Originally, that fish poison isn't like something you can handle with drugs. If you don't want to die, don't eat anymore."
Even Japan, which normally eats fugue, was banned from eating until the current licensing system was in place. I have never crossed the line without eating because I don't think research is going on in this country.
"... sorry. I'll keep that in mind."
"Well, anyway, I'm glad the pills worked. Thanks for verifying the effect."
In the meantime, it was proven that it also works on fairly dangerous poisons. That's the only thing that makes money.
"So, how much do I pay? I don't have that much money... but I'll pay for it in words"
"That's the thing, I wasn't willing to take it from the beginning. It's up to Claire, but what do you think?
"... Atashi wants about the cost of ingredients, but Koh has some ideas, right?
Even when it comes to material costs alone, the most expensive Wyburn horns contain only polar traces. Even if I got paid, it would be cheap. If you want to get paid, you should sell your favors. I knew it was free. No.
"Well, you are. Instead of making it free, don't tell anyone about this drug."
"That's natural! If the world finds out about the existence of such a drug... it will be a fuss. You don't have to tell me, I won't tell anyone!
I don't know if it's going to be a fuss, but it's definitely going to be a hassle. I haven't fully understood the effects of this medicine yet, so there may be some problems after taking it.
Because it's such an uncertain drug, I can't sell it if they say "sell it". If we sell properly and there's a problem, we'll be blamed, even if it's the wrong usage. Seriously, it's a hassle, so I won't publish it until after all the verification.
"That's all we ask. I don't need money."
"But then I'm sorry about me. Can you at least just get me a fish?
Suggest a fish even though you say it just hit a fish poison... But that's not bad. I originally planned to buy fish.
"Thank you. I'll take it."
"Today's fish has already lost its freshness, so I'll give it to you tomorrow again. At the same time as today, will you come to the harbor?
"Hmm? Are you okay with moving now?
It seems Tyrone intends to resume fishing soon.
Fish freshness falls easily because there is no refrigerator in this country. But it's a fish I just caught this morning. I wouldn't have lost that much freshness yet. I'll take it for free, so even today's fish is enough.
"I'm oddly feeling good about my body. I rather feel better than before"
Tyrone said so and let him hold his fist. I think I'm feeling better than before because of my chi...
"Well, don't push it."
"I know. Thanks so much for today."
Tyrone said so and bowed his head deeply.
You've decided not to worry anymore, Raymond opens his mouth confidently.
"The Koes can go home now. I'll take care of the rest."
Just in case, it looks like Raymond is staying in this house today.
"Oh, that helps. I'll let you go home once."
I guess you should really see how things go overnight or so, but it's hard for six people to sleep in this small room. The inn we're staying in is close, so you'll be fine if we leave. Let your words sweeten me home.
