Episode 339: The Perpetrator of Epidemic Disease

I couldn't tell what the cloud had brought home.

It was packed with mucus-shaped objects that I wasn't quite sure about, and that was immersed in the river.

"What, this...?

"Come on? But maybe it sucks"

"Hmm, why?

With that said, Cloud removed the bag. Her complexion is rapidly blue and she doesn't seem to be feeling very well.

"Duh, what's up!?

"Something paralyzed my body..."

When I say that, the cloud collapses to the front.

I hugged him a little, but his body was surprisingly hot.

"You, no way... you're sick!

It was Michelle who had a high fever. The same symptoms appeared in the cloud.

But why all of a sudden... I didn't show that bare gesture at all until earlier.

That's where I look at the cloth bag that fell at my feet.

Cloud said this was soaked in the river. And this river flows into the city, becoming a source of water for the common people.

What if he was throwing poison in here?

What if this is the poison?

"Ka-chan, give the cloud the magic of detoxification (antidote)!

"Ugh."

Read my intentions and Ka-chan quickly detoxifies the cloud.

After a while, Cloud's health became visibly better.

I still can't stand in Matomo because I won't be able to return to my lost health.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

"Cloud, are you awake?

"Me, why..."

"I've been lying down for a while. It's a trick."

"What -?"

"Cloud has found a cloth bag, this is probably packed with poison. And it was blending into the river and pouring into the city."

"So now?

"Yeah, Michelle and the others should get better"

If this is one of the poisons planted. That's what I was thinking, but I didn't put it in my mouth.

Something about this mucus is definitely poison. But if that was all it would have melted right away, and it would have been gone.

I mean, this poison should have just been planted recently.

That means the person who set it up should come through this neighborhood for a while.

All this time, I'm getting a little carried away too. I was thinking of catching the killer if I could and sticking him out to the official constitution.

"Oh well. Good."

"Can you stand? If you're not going to stand, I'll lend you my shoulder."

"Oh, maybe... I can't"

Cloud collapsing again trying to get up. Hi. I hear you still can't help your hands and feet.

I can't do that either. I touched the poisonous liquid that caused hundreds of damage to the city with my bare hands.

"Look, I'll lend you a shoulder. I'm sorry, but good luck. We need to get this information back as soon as possible."

"I know."

Pack the cloth bag in a water bag and then lend the cloud a shoulder. No, I'll try to carry half of it and leave the spot.

This cloth bag is evidence, you can't leave it behind.

Besides, if you planted poison here, the killer doesn't know when he'll be back here.

With the cloud in this state, it's nearly impossible to fight him. I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

The weakened body of the cloud is heavier than expected, and it is also taller, so there is a sense of compression from above.

The sloppy, dripping arm hangs from my shoulder to my chest, but I couldn't even afford to blame it.

And neither would the cloud have had the leeway to indulge in it.

Take hours after noon to get back to the city. The outbound journey was two hours long, but it took more than double the calculation.

That's how I got to the gate, and I fell down as hard as I could.

Look at us like that, the gatekeeper rushes over.

We come in and out here a lot, we already know each other. Because I fell in front of the gate like that, it would be natural to worry about something.

"Hey, what's up!?

"Ya finally got there..."

"I often see Miss Nicole fall, but it's unusual for a cloud boy to fall."

To the doorkeeper who spoke like a jerk, I gave instructions to call Cortina right away.

"Is that, Master Cortina? Why?"

"Quickly, the cause of the illness, you may have figured it out"

"What!?

Epidemic diseases in this city have already developed into major problems. If you find out what caused it, it should lead to a cure.

I magically detoxified the poison in the cloud, but I can't hang the detoxification magic on all the victims. It's quicker to hand out antidotes.

To do this, we need to figure out what this poison is.

Unfortunately, I don't have that knowledge, but it's likely Cortina or Maxwell would.

We're being transported inside the jail, and another guard pops up to contact us.

In the meantime, the cloud was lying on the bunk and unconscious to sleep.

On my way home to this point, I guess I kept walking, squeezing my strength to the limit.

Seeing the calming cloud breathe, I'm relieved for now.

Apparently, even normal detoxification magic can help.

Some poisons don't work unless they're high level purifying magic. I could say I was lucky it wasn't.

After resting his body for a while that way, Cortina ran in with her breath out.

Behind that, Finia is following along.

Probably worried about me.

That's how I was supposed to talk about the poison that Cortina planted.
