Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

At this age, I still don't think I'm clearly blind, but with creepy eyes, Al looks at me still.

Move your hands, feet, with Mozomozo, and tie your mouth muffled.

Immediately after that...

"Ugh!

I cried out.

"Ooh. Are you all right?"

I'm wasting my hands and feet on Al expressing dissatisfaction.

Slap him in the back with a pom, I'll shake him gently, but it doesn't work refreshingly.

"" "Pup" "

The Hulkas laugh at me for panicking, but you can't help it, can you?

I never had a chance to take care of the baby.

"Pfft. Let it be, let it be"

Give Al to Yasue, who reached out with a laugh, and his mother will figure it out, Al will soon stop crying and have a calm look.

What is it? How to hold it? Smell it? Sixth sense?

Because it's someone else's child. Still. If this happens with my own child, it looks pretty hectic......

"Nao, you don't have to worry, because my husband cried too"

Seriously. Chester, pity.

If I was talking to you from the moment I was in my stomach, would it work?

"You guys, it's time to go, right? You know, leaving this neighborhood for a while."

"Ah. Your birth is over. We'll be leaving in a few days."

"Oh well. Then stop by when you get back. I want to show Al how he's grown."

"Right. Almost cold...... you'll be back in a year, won't you?

If you turn your gaze to the Hulkas to make sure, the Hulkas nod too.

"Right. I'm asking you to manage the house, but I don't really want to leave it alone."

"I don't know because it's to avoid troublesome responses. I'm worried about Al's growth, too, and I'll let you stop by then."

"Yeah, I'll wait. Thank you so much this time."

Yasue said yes, thanks again and laughed calmly.

◇ ◇ ◇

Things suddenly changed three days after that, the day we traveled through Kerg.

When we had breakfast that morning after we finished getting ready to leave town, such as greeting Cyrus, we were talking about time to go...

Don't, don't, don't!

Fierce sound of knocking on doors.

Something visionary - no, visionary?

And so on, and it was also for a moment that I thought about the pleasant things.

At first, the key that was properly hung - not a luxury inn, so it's not much strength - was bounced, jumped, and the door opened with a knocking momentum.

It was us who immediately reached for the weapon, but it was Yasue with a pale face who stood across the door.

It was us who made sure of that and took our hands off the weapon, but the next visit was puzzling and questionable.

But before I uttered the question, Yasue shouted in a trembling voice.

"A, Al! Oh, please! Help!!"

"- Are you sick or injured?"

It was Natsuki who reacted immediately.

While attracting the backpack I was packing, with a serious look, I then calmly ask Yasue.

"Big, he said he was sick... I guess. I don't know! So!!"

"I'll be right there. Mary and Meetia, please wait here."

"Me too -"

"I have trouble infecting you both."

"Right. Extension of the inn, keep it."

I'll throw Mary my wallet.

We have at least [stubborn lv.3], but we don't have that skill for both of us.

Ever since I met us, I've never been sick, so I'm pretty sure it's sturdy, but there's no point in taking unnecessary risks.

"Me, shall we wait?

"Ugh, yeah......"

Leaving two people in a room with a worrying look on their face, they fly out of the inn.

We were about to rush out, but Yasue, with her legs pulled, fell over, and I gave her my hand.

I managed to be successful in supporting it, but Hulka's decision to see it was quick.

"Toya, take charge of Yasue!

"Whoa. Just bear with me for a second."

"Become -"

"You're in a hurry. Keep your mouth shut so you don't bite your tongue."

Yasue is not working out that much, even if he's a little stronger than the average person. Besides, it's just after I've run this far.

Needless to say, running at a completely different rate than us who are adventurers and accumulate training every day.

That's even the difference between Olympians and the average person, beyond comparison.

For a moment, Yasue, who raised her voice of protest, also tied her lips in the words of Hulka, clinging to Toya.

"I'm in a hurry!

"" Ooh!

"" Yes (yeah)!

Some times it's only while I respond.

Hey, neighborhood. We ran through town at an annoying rate. We run into Yasue's house.

And if you head to the room as instructed by Yasue, there was one Al breathing painfully on the bed. There's no sign of the Chesters.

"What about Chester and his aunt?

"I don't know if I can find him, but he said he's going to look for medicine."

To Hulka's question, Yasue answers as she rushes over to the bed with an anxious look on her face.

"Medicine... does that mean you know the name of the disease?

"My mother-in-law, Gresco, said hot, but at the same time, she said, 'I'm not sick right after birth'..."

"Gresco fever...... I remember seeing it"

When Natsuki says so, he takes one book out of the backpack and starts rolling with great momentum.

Was that definitely a book on medicine?

There was no occasion to be active, just something we hardly needed, but Natsuki was seriously studying.

"There was! Symptoms… Fever and matching red rash on palms and soles of feet."

Natsuki nodded, placing his hand on Al's forehead and checking his hands and feet.

I don't know if that's a good thing to judge, but I do see a red rash on those hands and feet as a bump.

"But it says here that it develops between one and three years old?

Peeping into the book from behind Natsuki and pointing out the sentence of interest that was there, Natsuki thought silently, but when he saw such a nutty, Yasue screamed as if in a hurry.

"Cure Al faster than that! You can magically cure it!?"

"I think I can fix it, but if I should..."

"Why! Money!? I need money!? Then I'll work hard and give it back!

Put your hand on Yasue's shoulder, stuffed with an impatient shape, and Natsuki says in a quiet voice.

"It's not. Please calm down. If it's easy to understand, it's like mumps."

………

"I mean, a disease that you should have in your child?

Natsuki nods quickly if Haruka points out to Yasue, who looks like he's out of a hurry or not working his head.

"That's the thing. Gresco fever is a disease that affects almost 100% of children. Nearly 80% of children will naturally heal and never suffer again if left alone"

"That leaves 20% of the kids..."

………

"Son!?"

Probably because it's hard to say directly.

Yasue breathes in her bloody face at Natsuki, who kept her silent.

But the truth is, in this world, where infant mortality is high, they don't treat it as that much as a scary disease.

From us, it's pretty scary that the mortality rate is 20% ill, but from this guy: 'If it helps 80% just to be at rest, without doctors or anything else... If you die of it, it is also God's ordained destiny' feeling.

Maybe it's a give up because death and God are close, but to me, and if that's my own child, it's a somewhat unacceptable way of thinking.

"Of course, there are ways to magically cure it"

"Hey!"

"If you just do that, you won't be immune, so you'll almost certainly suffer again. And that doesn't necessarily mean we're there."

"- Eh!"

I guess Yasue also understands that you can't just stay with us the whole time. Bite your lips with regret and lay your eyes down.

"You don't have to worry that much, if you take proper care of yourself, your chances of being helpful will increase. However, as Nao-kun said earlier, you should normally suffer after you are a little older..."

"Does that mean you're anxious in terms of health?

"That's right. A little can be magically aided, but the cause..."

Rethinking Natsuki compares Yasue to Al and goes on with the words.

"Mr. Yasue was [stubbornly] skilled, wasn't he?

"Huh? Yeah. Level one, though."

"Maybe that's what caused it"

To Natsuki's words, which he said with a serious face, Yasue opened his mouth with Pokan.
