The Peerless Kobold (WN)

Then, returning to the royal castle, Ernesta heads to the clerk's office, where he was honored early.

By evening, we must dedicate ourselves to the chief court magician, Graeo Elbarado, and King Alexius, in a compilation of measures to combat this bleeding disease.

"Ugh, I'm wasting my time eating lunch... pull it out"

When I opened the office door while convincing myself, the waiting person had also arrived along with a large amount of material delivered by the Great Library.

"You've come well, Lord Vest"

"No, Master El Ballard. I wish there was something I could do to help..."

and so on, but with this thought-provoking impression of intersection of young gray hair, Christ Vest is one of the eminent biologists within the rearstease kingdom.

It should be noted that although he has named the last name of the Vest family, which dates from ancient times, he was originally nothing more than an adventurer, so he has entrusted his wife, who inherited the title, to work in field surveys such as his daughters (...) and (...) the same (...) Ji (...) Ku (...) demons.

"Muriel's father, there's nobody else here in my office, and you don't have to be afraid. Ning Ro, I'm afraid..."

"Well, then, I'll make it easy for you to talk."

"Have you read the material yet?

"Oh, I looked through it first. I've chosen a few books that might be useful."

"Now let's read it in handful"

…

The first confirmed bleeding disease was about 200 years ago, in the southern end of the continent, the city of Zerba, Sedona. The white masked Phantom was not witnessed at that time and the source of the infection was unknown. However, the record is also scattered that the first bleeding patient is an adventurer who was chewed up by the green monkey Forest Ape in the forest area.

The symptoms are extreme weakness and high fever making it impossible to move even physically, and at the end of the day in about 3 weeks, it can lead to death with bleeding from the mouth, nasal cavity, skin, etc. It should be noted that anything that touches that blood will be a further victim.

The next epidemic was the nearest city, Alve, from Sedona, which had occurred between the first outbreaks. The first casualty was the priesthood of the diocesan Church, where a white masked Phantom is scattered at a time when the disease wields fierceness.

After that, a similar situation occurs in some city on the continent in 20 years' increments, the first victim being a clergyman, the presence of a white creepy masked Phantom that rains blood.

That information was shared inside the cathedral church where the first victims would be, and eventually the Phantom was named Alvesta. And because of the magnitude of the damage, as one of the seven scourges, he was given a degree of threat S ‐...

Eventually, Christ, who has finished compiling the material, presents his thoughts.

"I consider this first bleeding disease and beyond to be separate..."

"Well, after the second example, there's an artificial sense that the infection starts in the clergy."

"There's a definitive difference that anyone else can see."

"… the first case is that a large number of livestock have also died of bleeding disease, which is also a further source of infection, but only“ people ”have been affected since the second case."

Yes, loved animals, livestock, etc. have not been eligible for infection since the second case, and no damage was seen to the animals in the place where it rained blood this time around.

"Oh, Black Rain Alvesta is a threat to interpersonal specialization that kills only people"

According to the second example record, the diocesan church, which recognized the disease-wielding Phantom, dispatched the Temple Knights. But when the Phantom of the day is hunted down and brought into the midst of the sword, the cathedral knights, who have been invaded by the disease, are rendered incapable of action by the blood smoke that has erupted extensively from Alvesta.

The white masked Phantom left the scene without stabbing them to a halt, and three weeks later the knights left the world with a bleeding disease.

In the third example, the Cathedral Church makes use of its last reflection to attempt remote attacks with bows and arrows and magic, but fails to cope with Alvesta, who jumps quickly and endlessly at the fall of the divine, allowing him to approach and expose him to blood smoke. Even there, the Phantom, who looked down on them with his vain eyes, leaves without stabbing a stop.

As a result of numerous attempts, Phantoms who indirectly kill only humans were perceived as “natural enemies” of people.

No matter how many conquest storm witches you have, you don't want to fight a front-cut opponent like that.

(It's too dangerous to end when you're close)

"... so what about this and so on? I need your opinion."

Ernst shows an old diary.

That's the diary of an unnamed doctor living in the city that was the seventh victim of his disease. Old Fashioned Short, he did not reverse the risk of infection to some thread, but took the infected person's blood and conducted various experiments.

As a result, he corroborated rumours that had been whispered among doctors and priests by then, proving that various animals and demons other than people would not suffer from bleeding disease if they touched contaminated blood. He himself suffers and dies in the middle of an experiment...

"I let you read that too, but that's why what happens? Releasing demons into the city will only cause further chaos."

"But what if you can communicate with us willingly and we have a collaborative demon?

Just then, the concoction knocks on the office door.

"Dear Ernesta, the Adventurers Guild has sent us material"

"Thanks, come in"

"Excuse me."

The young exorcist, who entered the room with his head down, exits as soon as he hands over the dossier.

After a thorough glance at the material, Ernesta offers it to Christ.

"... we had a bit of an interesting story. I was told how Muriel was doing via the Alliance."

Christ gave a startling look as he looked at the material he had received.

"... Hi Kobolt? No way, you understand humanities!?

"What do you think?

"... High Cobolt has few discovery cases and many uncertainties. I can't deny that possibility, and I don't think my kid would throw up such a lie. But why aren't you telling me such an interesting story, that kid!!

Already his interest seems more suited to the Kobolts than to counteract the disease...

"Earlier doctors' diaries said Kobolt didn't suffer from bleeding either."

"When you follow the highly intelligent High Cobolts to crusade Alvesta?

"Yeah, people can't take that one down...... the report says the Kobolts headed to Barbera Forest, but how do you see where they actually are?

"In view of this record of fighting in Viel village and recommending surrender to the bandits, we should see that we may have disguised the withdrawal route... it would be dangerous to live in a Barbera forest"

Then Christ thinks for a while.

"Indeed, there must have been a story of an adventurer rushing out in the woods of central Easteria, close to the village of Viel, being robbed of his weapon by an alien cobolt. They had no scratches such as nail teeth, stone spears, or other scars, and had been stripped of their figure beautifully, so it was considered the work of the burglar..."

"Let's put out a scourge there. I'll be out when the King's Capital's infection is taken care of."

The silver-haired, blue-eyed witch smiles.

"Well, it's hunting time."
