Hasnt that already been done? There was nothing particularly strange.

But Raymond shook his head.

No, Im sure theres a clue. There must be some pattern we are overlooking.

Raymond mentioned the basics of mechanics.

It was necessary to find a common ground among the patients.

They visited the places where the patients lived one by one.

Many of the patients have poor homes.

Isnt that obvious because its a slum?

No, especially shabby. Among the slum houses.

Even within the slums, there was a gap between the rich and the poor.

Some people live in their own houses, and others live in places where it is embarrassing to call them houses because they seem like theyre going to collapse any second by now.

Raymond guessed one thing.

Could rats be the pathogens?

There was a possibility.

The more shabby the house, the more rats there will be.

However, there was something that could not be explained.

Isnt Lao living in a decent place?

The very existence of Lao who had an infectious disease.

He was living in a place where he had no connection with rats.

Lao, where did you go before you got sick?

Since it was my first appointment as a manager, I went from place to place. I suffered from the muddy ground after a lot of rain.

The kingdom of Houston has recently been in the fall season, so it has rained a lot. In particular, the Bay Area has not been maintained, so when it rains, there are many puddles of water here and there.

Im sick and tired of the rain. If you walk a little recklessly, your shoes will get wet.

It was after Raymond heard that.

Wait, rain?

An epiphany flashed through Raymonds mind.

Rats and puddles. Rats and puddles. Is there a connection?

At that moment, the answer flashed into Raymonds head.

Leptospirosis!

It was an infectious disease of the modern Earth that caught contact with water contaminated with rat feces.

The current epidemic had a similar pattern of spreading like leptospirosis.

No, the clinical features are completely different. Its a different disease. Let us think. What else is this epidemic? Raymond tried to think of a list of infectious diseases that were prevalent on the continent.

An infectious disease that is transmitted by water contaminated with rat feces and causes fatal bleeding.

Fortunately, one epidemic came to his mind.

Its Fastin Hemorrhagic Disease!

Principality of Michelan, a city at the southern end of the Free City Union. It has the disease periodically prevalent there during the rainy season!

It is the same as having point bleeding and suddenly dying from that fatal bleeding.

The method of propagation was also as Raymond estimated.

When a mouse infected with the virus comes into contact with water contaminated with urine, it becomes infected.

But why is the epidemic from the Principality of Michelan in the Kingdom of Houston?

Raymond made a face that he couldnt accept the idea even if it was just a guess.

Fastin hemorrhagic disease is a disease transmitted only through a special species, the Fastin rat that lives only in the Principality of Michelan.

Theres never been a story about this plague circulating outside the Principality of Michelan, right?

I need to check.

Is this really a Fastin hemorrhagic disease?

The method was simple.

Fastin hemorrhagic disease is transmitted only through Fastin rats, so Raymond can check if a Fastin rat has appeared in the Bay Area.

Fastin rat had a white body with three black stripes.

Come to think of it, I think Ive seen it, prince!

Me too!

I tried to catch it because it looked ominous, but I couldnt catch it because it ran away quickly!

Raymond cheered for Lao inwardly. Im going to step back, so you should solve everything!

But there was one thing Raymond didnt notice.

The kind of eyes Lao has right now.

His eyes were burning with an unknown sense of justice.

***

Theres an epidemic going around the Bay Area? And it is also a hemorrhagic disease thats prevalent in the Principality of Michelan?

Yes, Your Highness!

Lao bowed his head with a very nervous face.

King Oden was in front of him.

I cant believe Im seeing the king in person.

It wasnt just the king.

IChancellor Galman and several others, even the princes were present.

Originally, it was reported to the minister of the administration, but after hearing the matter, the story went up to Chancellor Galman, and this large-scale meeting was held.

This is because a new infectious disease was created in the capital, so it was usually an urgent issue.

Thats a big deal. How did such a terrible disease come in?

We need to close the Bay Area right now!

All the commoners living nearby must be wiped out, too!

The conference hall became noisy.

King Oden raised his hand to quell the disturbance.

Stop. Its an epidemic carried through rats, whats the point of shutting down the Bay Area? What if a mouse moves to the next lime area? Will you shut down the capital then?

Its.

Dont be scared of the epidemic and tell it as it is. However, tell them realistic measures. Proud ministers of this kingdom of Houston. Do you understand?

King Oden then asked Lao. How many people have died so far?

Two people Your Highness.

Two people? Didnt you say its a dangerous infectious disease that causes serious bleeding?

That is entirely due to BaronPenin.

Lao thought to himself. I cant intercept my older brothers achievements.

Contrary to Raymonds intention, Lao had no intention of stealing credit from Raymond.

No matter how blinded you are by merit, how can you wear a human mask?

Rather, it was the opposite.

I was going to let Raymond know what he had done.

So Ill let everyone know how great Raymond is!

He treated patients with the foot-and-mouth disease through ancient secret techniques. I have an infectious disease, too, but thanks to Baron Penin, I was able to overcome the crisis.

Is it Baron Penin who discovered the identity of this epidemic?

Yes, he said that in order to prevent the further spread of the epidemic, we must exterminate the Fastin mice.

The conference room was in a state of commotion for a moment.

It hasnt been long since he made a contribution, but the name of Baron Penin was mentioned again.

It was still an ongoing case, but it stopped the victim and revealed the identity of the epidemic.

In addition, it can be said that he has already made great contributions by providing clues to the solution. As expected of Raymond. I cant believe youre making this again. When did the ugly child become so good? Chancellor Galman looked pleased.

Then we must exterminate the rats. What should we do?

Everyone looked at each other and couldnt open their mouths easily.

It was simple, but not as easy as they thought.If you set fire to the Bay Area.

Fire? Who lives there? And what if they set it on fire and the Fastin rats run away to other commoners quarters? Are you going to start a fire then too?

Then, a confident voice rang through the conference room.

Give me your soldiers! Ill take the soldiers and beat up all the Fastin rats!

It was the one who had tormented Raymond hard in the past.

It was the 4th prince, Prince Seytil called the Sword Genius!

Youre going to catch a mouse with the soldiers?

King Oden asked in a skeptical voice.

This is because it was unlikely that even if soldiers were mobilized, they could wipe out the rats.

However, Seytil cried out with a brave look.

If the brave kingdom soldiers join forces, how would it be difficult to catch a rat?
