I didn't mean to get too close to the sick, Abel, but if it's freshly dead, it doesn't work either.

Because something like leftovers might be discoverable.

With the man who guides us, we head to the scene.

Along the way, he applied every possible defensive magic to himself.

"Ugh...! This is so cool..."

When he saw the body torn from the inside and scattered his organs, the man turned away.

On the ceiling, the ejected blood creeps up bettorily.

A man very similar to the man who died beside him was trembling in tears with fear and shock.

"Hey, Kai, hold on!

The guide man remained blue-faced and spoke to a trembling figure.

He is a resident of this village and the brother of a man who just died.

"Ugh, uhh...!

But my brother just shook his head in tears, and he's unlikely to be able to have a conversation.

Next to the gatekeeper man speaking to him, Abel approached the body.

(.. abnormal degeneration of organs and the melting found in the partial part... It looks like an unusual and unlikely sarcoma to the gut sampling...... And -)

Abel looks around the room.

That's something no one else can ever feel.

(.. rupture from within is due to magic..)

But it's not magic.

The release of magic was carried out, but there is no indication that the procedure was knitted.

Either that or Abel saw it as something close to a dragon brace or a monster canon.

"Ko, I've never seen such an odd disease! Or is it some kind of curse!?"

........

To the guide looking back at Abel in blue, but the little elf did not answer.

(... I understood the cause and mechanism of death. But the problem is infection routes and countermeasures......)

If Abel's guess is correct, 'this' has no hitter except for one means, if it develops.

It's too late, if not too early.

He approached Tsukatsuka and his brother and pinched his face with both palms.

Seeing the world's unparalleled beauty nearby, Kai gives herself up.

"... was your brother the holder of magic?

"Huh? Ah, uh..."

"... answer me"

His inorganic eyes stared at him and Kai nodded cocklessly.

From behind, the guide man throws words.

"Kai's brother certainly had magic powers, but it must have been a very small amount, not enough to be a magician, right? Well, I can't even write letters, so if there was magic, the test would fall."

"... but become nutritious"

"Nutrition? What are you talking about?

........

Abel shythes.

And look back.

"... When did the disease become endemic? What about people and supplies in and out? I don't mind as far as I can remember. I want answers."

"Huh? Uh..."

The conductor crossed the thread of memory.

"Ya, only because the first sick guy came out last March or April, I think maybe after the field wake up...? When it comes to the entry and exit of people and supplies, I have no idea. It's a small village, so we have to interact here and there - barter. Sometimes we carry crops elsewhere, and vice versa. Sometimes travelers and adventurers stop by, and occasionally, even travelers come."

".. then ask the sick what they have in common. Does it mean that everyone has been out elsewhere, or vice versa, stayed in the village all the time?

"Yep... Huh? I wonder how it went......? Kai, did your brother come out to use you around the summer?

"Oh, oh...... But my grandmother, who died last month, must have been in the village the whole time because when she got old, it was tight to go away..."

".. then, arrowhead, not simple contagion, but conditions"

Abel thought a little,

"... is there anyone in this village who doesn't farm?

"That's right with Dundon's house. That's the only blacksmith in the village. Even so, it's mainly the daily necessities that make it. But the blacksmith didn't do any farming."

"... Are you safe there?

"Yeah, luckily. If you can't even use the blacksmith, it will be hard to get one sickle. I'm glad he didn't get sick."

The guide man noticed Kai's gaze and apologized hastily.

"Wow, wicked..."

"Yes, no..."

Abel found it difficult to squeeze out conditions in this village alone.

We need to go to the two remaining endemic areas, Gosh and Rühling.

Helping to bury her, she immediately followed the village of Cercat.

"Oh, my medicine..."

Before the odd patient, Aletta drops her shoulder.

None of the multiple drugs she prepared worked.

What shocked me in particular was that it didn't even help with the pain relief?

Whatever you gave him to drink, he didn't see any improvement in his medical condition.

"Duh, why..."

The only thing that stabbed her in the heart wasn't the bad effect of the drug.

"Dad......! Dad............!

I hold my father's hand crying to lie down on the hospital bed, because I see a young girl in my sight.

"I'll definitely help you!

That's so slang, I couldn't get a result.

I'm very distressed about that.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor"

The wife of a man who fell down and bowed her head.

That's because I used a lot of expensive potions.

But I'm worried that I haven't been able to recover.

Aletta bit her lip.

(Info......! First of all, information! If I knew what caused the disease, I would be able to make a cure for it right away...!

I thought I wanted some time to think horns.

There, a sense of redemption mixed that he could not save the great black pillar of the family, and Aletta, in another matter, thought to help this family.

"Your husband makes herbal fields out of paddy fields, right?

"Yeah, yeah. Yes, because we grow herbs to wholesale in the city, not rice or wheat"

"Unlike rice, which cannot be worked on in winter, there are also species of medicinal herbs that grow in winter. Isn't it?

"Yes, but it's difficult to take care of aquatic herbs, and I can't take care of what I'm growing right now unless I'm my husband... Nor were we allowed to enter the paddy fields."

Hearing the words, Aletta regains her smile.

And I said with my chest up.

"Then leave it to me! I'm a doctor! I mean, I also know how to grow medicinal herbs! Only while I'm in this village, I'll take care of the herbal fields!

"No, I'm sorry!

"I'm fine. If you hang on to as many elves as I do, you can do it with one lab check!

Aletta said so and flinched.

The next day.

Aletta, who took care of the herbal field, was surprised and appreciated for the arrangement.

In paddy fields was a species familiar to her as well.

"Doctor, wow!

Aletta was proud that she smiled back at her young daughter even slightly.

At this rate, I will save your father.

With that said, she took care of the paddy fields all over the mud for a long time.

Originally, I finish the work that should take a day in the morning alone, with visits in the afternoon.

Powerful information was not available, however, and the effects of the medication were weak in every house.

It was then that the expressionless elf that broke up just before he came to Rühling appeared in the village.

She seemed to be gathering information throughout the village without greeting Aletta.

He caught an inorganic elf from Aletta because he had himself in front of him but he got through.

"Hey, hey! Speak up! You won't even be friends you don't know!?"

".. If you have strong information or have discovered a cure, your personality should start to boast even if you leave it alone. The lack of it means that there is no progress. There's no point in talking."

"Well, you can exchange information!?"

"... then ask. What information do you have?

"It's, you know, the effect of the medicine is weak..."

"I am aware that the effects of existing potions are weak. 'Cause I hear that before I came here, my fellow countrymen who fell into this disease didn't help me by giving them drugs."

"Heh... heh!? I didn't ask you, that's not true!

"... because we haven't talked about it, naturally"

Just sayin ', Abel tries to turn her heel back.

But Aletta, who wanted a clue at all, turned around and shouted.

"Or as hypothetical...... Is there any hypothesis?"

"... against what?

Is it a pathway or cause of infection, or is the medicine ineffective?

Aletta blushed when she asked vaguely herself.

"So you know why the pills are so hard to work with?

"... because one has a weak gut itself. Caused by the inability to absorb a lot of medicine. If pain medication is used, for example, it seems that the ointment rather than the medicine is more effective. But it is also water in the baking stone."

"Duh, why not!

"... because the cause of the pain is in the body. If you can't get rid of it, you'll just continue to have more pain than the drug effect"

"In your body? What's the basis for that?

"... I saw a man who had just died in Cercat. There was an anomaly in that organ."

"The one that slimes? That's what you heard in the city, isn't it?

"... no. The melted organs had countless sarcomas. That's not a naturally occurring malignant cell, I see organ and something as' a result of fusion '"

"Fusion!? No way -"

In contrast to the surprise Aletta, the little elf shrugged lightly.

"... what is causing the disease. It's probably caused by parasitic species"
