Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru

"Julius-sama"

"Yes?"

"What was the food condition of the ship?"

When I ask, Julius's eyes blink several times to show surprise.

I think I'm confused that I suddenly started showing my interest without ever trying to join the conversation.

But Julius did not look for a strange search, but looked down at the material at hand.

"It's a long voyage, so it wasn't abundant, but it didn't seem starving. The main meals for the sailors were salted meat, fish, biscuits, cheese and sake."

"It's just food that can be kept for a long time. Did you stop by some port along the way?"

"From the record, it's like that. There may have been no harbors in the first place. Between the southeast and the continent, there are some small islands, but uninhabited islands or islands where minorities live. But invading their territory, which has built up its own culture, may cause unnecessary fuss. "

If the food situation is not urgent, did you judge that there was no merit to take the risk and land?

"... By the way, are sailors in our country eating something similar?"

"Nebel? ... I guess it's almost the same, but if you're on a long journey, you'll have to stop by the harbor several times along the way to get some fresh vegetables, You can eat meat. "

"After all ..."

That is the big difference between the sailors of Nebel and the dead sailors.

"After all?"

It was Julius who picked up my muttering.

Return to me, but you're too late. Everyone's gaze has come to me.

What an aggression? Though the idea has not yet been finalized.

"Everything you noticed?"

The green eyes of Julius who usually give a sleepy impression are shining.

I feel like I was expecting something ...

I swallow my throat and throat.

How should we talk? How far should we talk? How to prove it. Nothing has been decided, but there is no help for it. I opened my mouth, becoming desperate to become.

"I may know the disease"

"eh!?"

Bianca was the only one who surprised me with my outrageous remarks.

Leonhardt was just light and dazzling. Julius is even brighter. We do not want to overestimate our expectations.

Gently rubbed around the stomach where it began to hurt.

"Mary-chan? What do you know?"

Bianca looks at me, seemingly unconcerned.

"I'm really impressed with the symptoms that Julius said right now, but ...

I could only think of two options, “I heard from people” and “I wrote in the book”.

If you ask someone, it will be someone. The boxed daughter I can meet is quite limited, so the choice is real.

The book will end if you ask the source, but I forgot it and it won't be deceived.

"A book? Is Marie reading such a difficult book?"

"I think Marie is probably a better reader than any of us, because he's reading books from other countries as well as Nebel's."

It was Julius, not me, that answered Bianca's question.

I was asked for consent, and I nodded in an ambiguous manner. It's mainly you who bring books from other countries. And some books haven't been read yet.

Because the official language of the great power is still a book written in a derived language or too devil. If you are interested in the field, check it out.

Hearing Julius-sama, Bianca was astonished.

"It's amazing to understand foreign languages! I'm so small and cute enough to eat!"

Please do not eat.

"Mary is very eager to study. Recently, every time she finds an unusual book, she brings it back to her souvenir. I'm sure she'll read it."

Julius shines his eyes like a boy.

I felt that books from other countries were not very suitable for souvenirs for children. Aside from picture books, it's a book of cooking and medicine. I thought it was just looking at the picture, but I was expecting it would be readable.

"Both of you. The story is off."

It was Leonhard who returned the derailed story to its original path.

"I'm sorry ... Marie-chan. Could you tell me the rest of the story?"

While he was pointed out and turned back, Julius, who flushed her cheeks as if shy, coughed out. I was shaken again and I nodded.

"The main cause of this disease is in the diet."

"Meal?"

Speak with a glance to Bianca, who turns my words around.

"As you mentioned earlier, if you go on a long boat trip, your meals will be biased."

"Yes. Fresh meat and vegetables will rotten unless they are eaten early. I guess the rest of the day will only be able to survive the hard-wearing biscuits and wines we have."

"Don't you think it's good for you?"

"... That's right."

In my words, Bianca's expression is puzzled.

"... do you say that you are undernourished?"

I nodded firmly at Julius's words.

"Yes. Dietary imbalances can hurt your health."

When I was a female high school student, I wrote a report on a subject in world history.

The theme is the era when European countries entered the overseas market, starting from the 15th century and continuing until the middle of the 17th century. The so-called “Great Voyage Era”.

The sailors at the time had more illnesses than the pirates.

At present, the cure was known, but at the time, the cause was unknown, so on the voyage to India, one hundred and eighty eight hundred people died.

The disease name is "scurvy".

Disease caused by long-term vitamin C deficiency, starting with malaise and joint pain, bruising on the thighs, bleeding from the skin and gingiva, and tooth loss. A terrible illness that will eventually die.

"I know well that eating is important in my sister-in-law's case."

Julius nodded and showed consent.

Emma, Julius's sister-in-law and Georg's mother, was able to improve her constitution by reviewing her eating habits and moderately exercising.

Because there were instances in my family, I wondered if it was affirmative, but Julius immediately clouded her expression. Open your mouth with a difficult face.

"But it's hard to believe that a healthy adult man will die from malnutrition."

Well, that's right ...

If you can't eat, it is natural to die, but dying while eating may not be convinced.

What should I do. I bothered my head, remembering my headache.

"... For example, what material do you use to make bricks?"

"... re-brick?"

Bianca is stunned by the sudden change of topic.

"Clay and sand, and lime and water."

Julius answered while tilting his head.

"So what happens if you make it without any of the ingredients?"

"If you don't have clay, you won't be able to talk, and if you don't have water, you won't mix well.

"I have a problem with strength ... oh, yeah.

Julius, who took over the words of Leonhardt, was cut off as he came up with something.

"If the human body is the same, what is that?"

"Yes. I think if you're not well-kept, you're going to be fragile. At first it's small. I guess you will get sick. ''

I appealed desperately.

How difficult is it to explain without presenting modern Japanese language?

If vitamin C deficiency, capillaries become brittle and blood bleeds easily. Vitamin C is required for collagen biosynthesis. There was no way I could explain it in my own words. I am not specialized. First of all, I'm really a liberal arts.

Julius-sama was silent for a moment.

The highly transparent green eyes stare at me. He seemed to be able to see through to his heart, and wanted to look away, but endured desperately.

"……I understand"

"e?"

"Believe you"

I erased my tough expression, and Julius said so with a smile.

"Um, um ... is that good?"

I inadvertently leaked my voice without confidence.

There is no proof and there is no supporting document. Then I thought it would be dignified because it would be fine at least.

Looking at me who had just lost consciousness, Julius-like eyes were softened and narrowed.

"I don't know the cause or remedy, and I don't have time to leave it. It's originally blocked in all directions. It won't get any worse."

"That's right."

"And there are some things I've been expecting you to do."

Julius meditated on one eye to make it brown.

He replied that he was buying, but he did not deny or affirm.

"I'm sorry to imitate as I try, with my own expectations."

With his eyebrows lowered, Julius smiles sorry.

"In addition, if you know how to deal with it, can you expect it?"

That's it.

It is not the end if Julius believes. From here.

"Yes"

I tightened my expression and nodded.
