“[Cure Medicine]”
I cast Cure Medicine on Randall, who was still suffering from the disease. I knew that this magic was effective for this disease as a result of human experimentation in the Rogue Village…so I used it on Randall, but it didn’t make any difference, as if the wholesaler would not be so generous.
“Well, it seems that the disease has progressed beyond the effectiveness of this magic.”
“Big brother, will father survive?”
“I made a contract with Father. So I must fulfill the terms of that contract since I made it through the death contract.”
The contract I made with my father was one that I could break if I wanted to, which was quite advantageous to me. However, once I had made a promise, I had no intention of going back on it unless I had to. Because I decided to make a heavy contract, risking the other party’s life because I thought I could save this man in front of me.
“How about this one. [Disease Purification]!”
I tried to use the same magic that I used when I cured Natalie’s younger brother, Jean, in the past. This magic purified the cause of the pathogen or pathogens itself and was a higher level of magic than the Cure Medicine magic I had cast earlier.
When I cast the Disease Purification magic, Randall’s face began to regain its reddish hue, and he regained the vigorous appearance I had seen in the past.
“T-this…did that save me?”
“D-dear.”
“Father.”
“Father.”
As I watched the family’s relief that Randall was out of danger, I contemplated the future cleanup. For now, the plan for the future was to remove the cause of the disease and to come up with countermeasures in case something like this should happen again.
It was not good enough for me to be called back every time this territory had an outbreak of the disease, but I also felt that Mark would not be able to continue as a lord unless he could do something about it on his own.
In order to do so, I needed to improve the level of his recovery magic, take preventive measures against the disease, and teach him how to deal with the aftermath of a situation after he had overcome it. Although he was only 10 years old, he still had a lot to learn.
“Brother.”
“Hm?”
I was thinking about a lot of things in my head when suddenly I was approached by Mark. Apparently, my father had something he wanted to tell me.
“Roland. Thank you for your help this time.”
“I didn’t do it just for you. Everything I did was necessary for me to be able to spend my time leisurely. So there is no need to thank me.”
“Even so, I still couldn’t die here. Even if it wasn’t for me, it doesn’t change the fact that you saved my life. I really appreciate it.”
“Huh.”
I snorted and turned away at Randall’s words. Everyone there looked at me with smiling faces, as if they knew I was embarrassed by it. Stop it! Don’t create such a heartwarming atmosphere.
I was so overwhelmed by the atmosphere that I immediately decided to talk about the future. First of all, there were still people suffering from the disease, and we had to go there and treat them directly. If these diseases were not completely eliminated at the source, they would surely reappear somewhere else.
I showed Mark my magic as part of his training in Recovery Magic and gave him some guidance.
“Listen, when you use magic to cure a disease, you are more likely to succeed if you picture in your mind the bad part being purified by magic. [Cure Medicine]”
“I see.”
“You try it.”
“Yes.”
“Big brother Roland, please teach me too.”
We treated the people in the mansion in one way, and by the time the treatment was finished, Mark was able to use Cure Medicine, and the happy miscalculation here was that Laura was also able to learn recovery magic. With this, the two of them should be able to handle any disease to a certain degree.
The servants were all surprised to see me, but since I would be gone again soon anyway, I gave them the treatment as if I didn’t care what they thought.
In this way, all the people in the mansion who had contracted Lutjohy’s Disease were treated, and we were able to overcome the crisis of the disease.
“Well then, I will be back early tomorrow morning, so don’t be late.”
“Brother, please stay at the mansion. This is your house, too.”
“I don’t belong to the Malbert family anymore. If they knew that a man like that was in and out of the Marberts’ residence, it would be a source of false rumors and attacks. You understand that, don’t you?”
“…..”
He turned his face down at my words. Laura, who couldn’t bear to see Mark like that, made a suggestion.
“Big brother Roland. You are the one who saved us from the epidemic. It would be a disservice to the nobility if you returned such a benefactor without offering him hospitality at your residence.”
“Well, Laura certainly has a point. If that is the case, let’s ask Father and if he says yes, then I will stay for a while.”
Mark’s face instantly brightened up at my words. So, Mark, I’m telling you, show that smile to girls, never to your own brother. And Laura, you too.
The two of them quickly get permission from Father to stay, and they show me to the room, not wanting to let me get away. They showed me to the room I used to occupy, and I look around involuntarily to soak up the nostalgic feelings. My room had been left untouched by Mark’s selfishness, and it seemed to be cleaned regularly, not a speck of dust.
Soon after, it was time for dinner, and I was eating with my family for the first time in a long time…. I was so accustomed to the taste of the food from my previous life that there was no way that the Marberts’ cooking would suit my palate, so I went to the kitchen to show off my culinary prowess, as I had done before. As a result, my cooking was much appreciated, but I must add that the chef of the Malbert family did not look so good.
