"Three more."
Norma was confused by this word that Lecan uttered.
"Huh?"
"I told you there were four visitors today."
Norma, for a while, sounded angry afterwards.
"What are you talking about, Lecan! You think it's if you're doing that!
"Thanks, Norma"
"... Huh?
"You're worried about Edda. If I ever activated Purification, I'd say" Oh. "
"Lecan. You are."
"A few days ago, Edda was summoned to the temple"
"Eh."
"And the priests pressed me to see what the healing was all about."
"So?
"I tried to recover."
"Huh?"
"And I said. My disciple, the immature Edda, said he could use it if it was a little lower than this."
"So? So, what happened?
"Then there was one, and the priest Cassis was temporarily taken away from the priesthood, and put on something like the trial of the temple. I went to the orphanage nine times."
"I'm not sure about the second half, but I was surprised in the first half. That Cassis has finally stumbled."
"And in the future, the deputy temple chief made it clear in the presence of the temple chief that there was nothing to force Eda to belong to."
"... what?
"I knew Edda had a gift for purification."
"Huh?"
"Edda saved me from the curse. There was a mix of purification in that recovery."
"Did that happen?"
"So in the temple, I didn't let Edda use the Recovery."
"I see."
"In any case, I decided that I would protect Edda while he was a disciple. So whatever the temple or nobility may say, defend Edda. Fight if someone comes to take Edda away from me. That's all."
"You are... you are strong. If Father had half your strength..."
"Yeah?"
"Nothing. Right. I could only worry about what didn't happen. I have to do everything I can today. All right! Lecan. Edda, I'm going to see you."
"Okay."
"Yes."
Zinger stands by the door.
The mouth that gave rise to the elegant moustache was severely tied.
2.
My second visit this day was also quite a splendid house. However, it does not appear to have a family name, so it is not noble.
The patient was an old lady, unable to get out of bed, and she was dangling and her face was discolored into unhealthy yellow.
It is said that it is the cause of this medical condition that has an organ disease and an abnormality in the spine.
Norma carefully explained to Lecan how the organ in question was supposed to work and what abnormalities were currently occurring.
Lekan took three times to put aside his very weak (recovery) while tapping Norma's explanation into his head. Speaking of which, Sheila previously told me that the effect of "healing" depends on the magic power on the applied side and the life force on the applied side, so if you apply "healing" with strong magic and the life force on the applied side is exhausted, the "healing" will no longer work. So it's a good idea to carefully [recover] people with weak vitality from the parts they really need.
After the third recovery, the patient's complexion improved visibly and he was able to get up. It was such a dramatic recovery that the accompanying maid cried and rejoiced.
He prepared lunch for me during the treatment, so I decided to sweeten it favorably. Looks like Norma was going to eat it even at the stall skewer. Actually, Lecan had a lunch that Edda prepared for me, but I decided to turn that around for dinner.
"Recan, can you tell the difference between the red potion and the" recovery "?"
"The red potion, for each size of large, small and medium, the amount of its effect is determined. The healing effect depends on the amount of magic that is instilled in the surgery and the vitality of the recipient."
"This surprised me. Looks like Sheila's been teaching you a lot of real knowledge. No, that too. Anyway, you're the only one Sheila's ever admitted to discipleship."
"Before I came to this town, there seemed to be many disciples."
"Wow. Really? I'm a little interested in this, but it's okay now. Okay, Lecan. Do you know that using red potion can cause pain instead?"
"What? No, I don't know that. Can such a stupid thing happen"
"It's a very special case. Actually, Prado was a special case."
"Ho."
"Let's say that illness is the tree that grew on the earth called the body. Branches and leaves are symptoms. I mean, it's pain, it's suffering, it's immobile hands, it's invisible eyes, it's hollow guts. The roots that are the cause of the illness cannot be hidden."
"Uhm."
"The red potion wipes away branches and leaves in an instant. That's an incredible event, where no reason works anymore. However, if the amount of branches and leaves is greater than the effect of the red potion, the branches and leaves will remain."
"Understood"
"The red potion does not affect the roots. But once the branches and leaves are completely erased, the mundane roots will wither away. Or, more than that, lose the power to stretch branches and leaves. Even if you don't lose it, if only a very small branch leaf emerges, it's the same thing that the disease has healed."
"Oh."
"But when the roots are strong, even if the branches disappear, the branches grow again"
"Is Prado it?
"No, I'm not. Don't rush me. Anyway, I want you to remember that once the symptoms disappear and look like health itself, the symptoms may appear again because the roots of the disease remain. However, even in that case, it will take some time for the symptoms to recur and the patient can be given strength to deal with them in the meantime."
"I see."
"Well, from here on out, it's a hypothesis. It is an ambiguous hypothesis that has not yet been demonstrated, and I am in the process of constructing my own logic. When the body is exhausted from fighting the disease, it may behave as if it is normal to be sick. I call this a" rewrite. "
"Yeah? I don't know."
"Disease is the invading army. The body is attacked, bullied, and tormented. And surrender. We accept your rule, so don't bully me anymore."
"Then what happens?
"Be in equilibrium. I mean, painful things are painful, but more tragic things are less likely to happen"
"You've been occupied by the enemy."
"Exactly, that's it. Okay, let's think about what red potion is here. Red potion is the magic of restoring the human body to the right state,"
"Magic?"
"That's right. That's not medicine. It's magic itself. Here's the sick guy who had the" rewrite "happen. Drink red potion. What's gonna happen?
"The illness will heal"
"The work of the roots of life commands the red potion. He asked me to erase the branches of the disease. Says the body surrendering to the disease after all. He wants me to regenerate the branches because it's the right condition to have the branches of the disease."
"What?... Hmm. I know a little bit about it."
"I don't know who you are."
"Using big magic like the Great Red Potion, the branch leaves once completely disappear. However, in the case of those who have a" rewrite "happening, the regeneration of the branch leaves begins at the same moment of extinction, and it grows in the original branch leaves while looking at them. It takes years and decades to get to a serious medical condition. The decades of suffering have finally struck me."
"I can't stop."
"I don't know, poor thing"
"When I first used the little red potion, I objected. But Mr. Zepus didn't accept it."
"Zeps?"
"He's Mr. Prado's grandson and heir to the Goncourt family. My grandfather is not an abandoned man."
"Who is the Forsaken?"
"What country are you from, Lecan? Those who are regarded as from the grace of God, that is, sick people who have no effect on either [recovery] or red potion, are called" abandoned "in this country, no, on this continent. Actually, there's no such person. Just a legend."
"I see."
"Mr. Zeps got the big potion after trying the little potion twice and seeing Mr. Prado suffer, saying this was because it didn't work. I disagreed this time but when I took it I was present. It looked better once. But soon came suffering. That was a way of suffering I couldn't look at anymore. Well, it's time to go to the next house. We'll see about that."
