The Peerless Kobold (WN)

Signs of the spread of bleeding disease and the Witch of the Symptom Storm

"Mother, it's raining."

"Right, I need to get my laundry in... eh!?

A young mother with her gaze toward her young son stiffens as she talks.

Because the rain on my son's face, who looked up into the sky, was red and black.

"... mother, something, feelings... wow..."

"Xenosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

The mother also lays herself down on the cobblestone without strength while supporting her falling son. At the end of that distorted vision lay people walking down the street in the same way.

… the day after the outbreak of the Black Rain Alvesta, one of the seven calamities, was first confirmed in the King's capital Selkram, sporadic black blood rain will fall everywhere in the King's capital, causing more than a thousand people to fall into a bleeding disease.

Thanks to this, the cathedral church in each compartment is still like a battlefield.

"Look, don't ever touch the victim's blood! It's infectious!!

"Huh, priest!! Holy attribute magic doesn't work!!

"I know that, you couldn't have done it in past instances!!

"Damn, it's painful......, I said, help me......"

"So what do you say? Huh!?

"... you'll have to pray. We have about a month before the patient dies at the end... let's hope the Lord's miracle happens in the meantime"

…………

In the word of the priest the nuns understand.

There's not much we can do.

Two hundred years after Alvesta first showed up on this continent, there are very few that have been helped in bleeding patients. It is also due to natural recovery, not recovery as a result of therapeutic behaviour.

Inside the Cathedral Church's treatment facility, they pray heartily in the heart of those who suffer and groan in bed, in a sense nothing but ridiculous.

The courtroom magician in the second seat, who visited the site inspection, had a chilling look at the condition.

"I have something to do before I pray..."

Essentially, medical practice on this continent is the healing magic of sacred attributes combined with medicinal herbs and holy water. But that can't even cure the pandemic.

So what happens if the healing magic didn't work?

The answer is in front of us.

I mean, I'm just surrounded by priests in pain and praying.

And most of the time, he dies just like that.

There are naturally also those in the family who have taken the last look who cannot forgive the sight, and what they have devoted their heart and blood to pursuing non-pharmaceutical or magical therapeutic means is called medicine.

Ernesta, a court magician, is one of those who aspires to medicine.

Whatever the cause, she can only use wind attribute magic. I studied one form of attribute magic at Wangdu's School of Magic, which I enrolled at the recommendation of my father-in-law, but all failed.

It is not her father-in-law Seven Lights, who is the chief of the court magician, that she acts as such, and there is not one such person who thinks that within the royal castle. Because her wind attribute magic was too out of standard.

There's just no way she'll be satisfied with that.

If I lose my "life I should be able to save” when I do, I will regret it. If that's the person you care about... it's medical technology that Ernesta has noticed.

However, because of the convenience of healing magic, priests are treated in character more as medical doctors than doctors, and doctors are shaders...

♪ Healing magic doesn't work ♪

"... let's pray, everyone!!"

I don't have the virtue of giving up.

She thinks it's the doctor who gives the worst possible upset.

"Well, I've never had the information I get here. Let's go back to the royal castle."

"Yes, Master Ernesta"

Her subordinates were relieved that their bosses did not say "take the patient's blood and bring it home", etc.

Once she had mentioned it, she had been instructed by the chief court magician not to stop her at any cost and let her bring it to the royal castle.

"... I'm one person, so I think about the risk of infection. If a loved one falls ill, he doesn't choose the means, but I don't expect him to risk his life as it stands. Can you risk your life for someone you don't know?

"... you don't do that"

"Great... if you're going to affirm it, I almost advised my father-in-law to dismiss me"

She giggles.

In terms of appearance alone, she is a beautiful woman with silver hair and blue eyes...

"May I ask why?

"I think the more people who don't care about their lives, the more self-destructive they become."

I say that in a mild tone, but I'm sure he would have been unemployed from tomorrow if he had answered incorrectly, and the Wizard's he exhaled heavily.

"I'm not throwing up a sigh, I'll hold on! We're going to be busy, and if this is the work of his disease, there's going to be about a thousand patients every day for a while."

"... you'll be unnecessarily distracted."

Alvesta shows up abruptly in a large city with a population of tens of thousands or more, sporadically shaking the rain of red and black blood to make the bleeding disease endemic.

The victim starts with the priesthood of the diocesan church, causing about a hundred damage on the first day and about a thousand damage each day from the next, eventually producing about 20,000 infected people before disappearing neglectfully. And more than 90% of the victims die around a month after Alvesta leaves…

"Then it's the early measures, Alvesta-related materials are already gathered in the office from the Great Library?

"I think that's okay, but it'll take a little more to figure out the humanities that emerged in the Village of Vielle, as the High Cobolt material will have an adventurer guild take-out process"

Hurry up, it's your destiny.

To put it that way, Ernesta turned her heel back and left the Cathedral Church behind.
