The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Take Eight to Sagami Trading Mall in Straheim. If you wander around Straheim, you'll be sure to hit eight first. For the moment, Eight will have him live in the Imperial Capital.

Well, there will be a ceremony in Imperial Capital this evening for the award of the title. Mass awards make absenteeism and tardiness unacceptable. In addition, there are still things left to be done in this central district.

All of today's appointments need to expose themselves. Upon taking the mask and pendant, he moved to his room, which he had set up at the Sagami Chamber of Commerce Chuo-ku Trading Museum, which was open in the central district of Teito.

The Imperial City is known from District 1 to District 7, and at its center is the central district with the Imperial Palace. After using the past month and visiting each block, a branch of the Sagami Chamber of Commerce is being built and the plan for entry is steadily progressing. The seeds have been sown, and all we have to do is nourish commerce in the districts and expand them with jitters.

Outside the glazed windows was a view of the largest and best beautiful city in the imperial city of Lemuria.

The spring sun gently envelops your skin when you leave the mall.

Boulevards that run on crosses several times the width of Straheim and a group of regular, standing stone buildings. Numerous historic buildings that are neglectful of art, both for me and at a glance. Let's just call it one of the wisdom built by mankind.

Look at the map that was in Siege's dossier and head to the desired location.

"Here."

It is the site of the Duke Kruger family, which has top ranking power, even among the gatekeeper nobles. More, I had imagined brilliant, but ordinary mansions like those in Sutherland and Straheim.

Sure, it's just a waste of time to have rooms that you don't use, and the effort from daily cleaning, etc. doesn't make you stupid. In this regard, mansions of this magnitude can be maintained with a minimum of personnel. It really makes sense.

Mm-hmm. Perhaps I feel comfortable inside with the owner of this mansion.

Going before the middle-aged gatekeeper,

"I asked to see Gray Ines Navarro, the Mother Highness of Mia Curros. Could you please take over from the Duke of Kruger?

Put your hands on your chest and carefully bow your head.

Boy, meet Mr. Mirle.

He was narrowing his eyes and looking around at me giddy,

I'll take care of it. Wait here.

Run to the mansion for a small run.

A few minutes later, a horrible, stern-faced gentleman with red hair shows up from the mansion. The luxury of that outfit, of course, is not denied by the servants and so on.

He was present at your previous meeting in Sutherland. From a standing position, it's supposed to be quite a position, but throughout the meeting, silent. I accepted that unusual proposal, which only has the tradition that the Curos and the others claim, without any particular endorsement or opposition. I was impressed and remembered how I was objectified in that sense.

Perhaps he is Secretary Hols Krueger in Caesar's dossier.

"It's Gray Ines Navarro. Good Lord."

Put your hands on your chest and thank you, but keep an eye out for a moment. And that's what the surrounding subordinates and servants are for.

Sir Horus was on one knee in front of me.

"Great guide of our empire. Welcome aboard."

Even if he is a military secretary. Person in full control of the Imperial Regular Army. Moreover, being the Duke's house, he is inherently on the Gateway noble side. I'm supposed to be more hostile to me than a local fan.

"Please, don't. I'm not in a position for you to behave like that."

"Okay, so"

When he stood up, he gracefully placed his hand on his chest and thanked him,

"This Wonder - Horus will show you to the Mill"

Declare so, and walk out.

In an unspeakably awkward atmosphere, I enter the mansion.

It was the room in the corner of the top floor of the mansion that was guided.

"It's dangerous from here. Take this."

Sergeant Horus gives me the cloth. I would say put it on your mouth to find out. It's called replacing a mask.

Tie the cloth to your mouth and enter the room.

On the bed, several men and women slept. They were all blue and white and bloody, coughing up.

Sergeant Horus leads me to the presence of a woman who has become only a bone and skin sleeping in the central bed.

(The main symptom is coughing. Do you also have fever, haemorrhage in weight loss... it seems to be propagating to others, and perhaps this is-)

"Tuberculosis - no, it's a labor cough, isn't it?

"Yes. I thought I'd be sure first"

Occupational cough - a bacterium of Mycobacterium spp. - is one of the infections caused mainly by tuberculosis bacteria.

Sieg's dossier says one of his servants was infected in the city just a few months ago and that propagated to several people in the mansion. Mia's mother, who was weak, must have been infected first.

Of course, don't let Mia know about this fact. You're lucky Mia is not currently in a situation where she enters dorm life and asks to see you. If you look at this sight, it's not a very good place to train.

Nevertheless, in this world where there is no locomotive human rights, it is Theory who burns down all the houses where tuberculosis has come out with his family.

Are you saying you were looking for a way to cure this disease without abandoning these military lords and their servants? Sounds like someone inside.

Now let's start with the most important thing.

"You're Mille Curros, aren't you?

"Ah... what... what?

I'm your daughter's teacher.

"Doctor..."

In his hazy consciousness, Mirl shrugs back at the parrot.

"Look, listen carefully. I am not a saint. That's why I'm not going to save anything I don't have the will to live."

There is no disease that has been on the floor for several years and the symptoms do not get worse or improve. Assuming she is truly invaded by incurable diseases, she should be progressively debilitated without having to suffer from tuberculosis like this.

Yet her symptoms always remained constant and bad until she contracted tuberculosis. It's not like she's using pseudosis or anything like that. The organism's immune system is originally significantly reduced by stress. Especially in humans with developed cerebral cortex, immune capacity is susceptible to being dictated by mental conditions. Disease is a good thing to be concerned about. It could be an example of a real target.

Perhaps Mille's stress is due to unfamiliar chores. My beloved husband dumped me. I'm done with this. In short, she has lost hope of living in this world.

No matter how much you treat in this condition, it doesn't make sense if you don't have the will to live in person.

"... Mia... please... I will"

I wonder why. Don't get upset about her attitude.

"Are you making other demands over this period? You're a real piece of crap! You may be going to whip the sick, but this is the time. Let me tell you something.

I totally deserve that you are. [M] If the man you fell in love with dumped you, why are you in such a mood to get up and force you to turn around before you wet your Uzi pillow with tears?

"He... threw us away... not"

Mill's willingness to resist showing for the first time.

"Beyond this, you escape reality? But have you ever thought about how worried and tormented Mia is while you're running into paranoia like that?

"Mia...?

"Oh, you'll be fine. I'm working on my studies, even though I almost cry every day with such a tiny body to grasp the future that feeds you."

"Feed me...? Why?"

"I guess it's because your body is weak. Why do you think a sick man like you is being fed in such a luxurious mansion? Everything is an equivalent exchange. As a result of eating up her future."

"Lies......"

It's the truth.

"That's a lie!

Raise the scream and vomit blood.

"Are you sure? You're just gonna die as a package, aren't you?

"Yes..."

Words that are slightly spit out of its mouth.

"Keep pressing the blame on my daughter..."

"No... it is"

Liquid as big and hot as balls telling Mille's cheek.

"My husband's sincerity, I don't know. It just decays. So, are you really satisfied?

"I don't like it!! I want it raw! I'm not dying! Meet Mia. Meet that guy too!!"

That's what I shouted as I crooked my face in tears and sniffles.

"Don't forget that word. Listen, your disease is bound to heal. [M] Hold on tight!

When you scream vigorously to sound all over the hospital room, you lay your right hand on the mill and activate the restorative magic.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

When I applied restorative magic to everyone, most of the symptoms were restored. Now you can earn a certain amount of time.

Recovery magic is not retroactive in time, but magic that abnormally promotes cell division in a certain direction to a state that is remembered as inherently normal.

In other words, it does not have the effect of eliminating foreign tumors, viruses, bacteria, etc. that already exist in the body. So even if it is magically healed, the tuberculosis bacteria themselves continue to remain in the body.

So use the wisdom of civilization that is currently being developed at the Sagami Chamber of Commerce. It is also known as the greatest discovery of the 20th century - an antibiotic.

Currently, the Sagami Chamber of Commerce has developed several antibiotics and has actually successfully developed antibiotics for several lineages.

One of these is streptomycin, which is extracted by culturing large amounts of mold that lives in cold weather and deciduous foliage, such as winter. We have not yet succeeded in sufficient enrichment and mass production is impossible, but there is enough to cure them.

In this regard, streptomycin is poorly absorbed from the intestinal tract and in principle is injected directly into the muscles by means of syringes. This intramuscular injection should be administered twice daily for the first 3 months and twice weekly thereafter.

I have developed a syringe made of vitreous and a 23G (gauge) needle that is a syringe at the Sagami Chamber of Commerce, so I have just explained how to use it in front of everyone.

"So are they going to heal?

Secretary Horus has been in the living room throating through the white water (Sayu), but has also visited natural questions.

"with about six months of ongoing treatment. Perhaps"

Tuberculosis is not an immediate cure type of disease. Long-term ongoing treatment is essential, but at the same time it is not an incurable disease.

Here, if the symptoms are severe, it takes 2-3 years to fully heal, but this time recovery magic is expected to relieve the patient's bone marrow fatigue along with restoration of vital organs such as lungs, and also restore immune capacity. Therefore, it is presumed that a full cure can be achieved with about six months of treatment.

"And I can't believe it. Thousands of people die every year in Imperial Territory alone. It's that lethal disease, [Labour Cough]!! If it's going to heal so easily, there's no taking care of it!

A doctor and a white-haired man speak loudly of denial. Naturally. I'm sure he will, too, in his shoes.

But he's a doctor. That is, one of the followers of science. Healing and exploration are ends and means for them. It's closely related. The stronger the desire to save it, the greater the desire for investigation. There's no way I can resist it.

"Then you may wish to confirm it with your own eyes"

That's all I tell you, I take a seat. I tell this doctor all the precautions. The rest depends on his arm. I'm done here.

"Lord Grey, you are still more than I thought you would be."

Sir Horus stood up and put his hand on his chest,

"Thank you very much for helping our servants as the master of this mansion."

I bowed my head deeply.
