Chapter 320: The first nominated request after a whileFollowing the completion of the restoration of the Sky Island ruins and the walls that surrounded it, the selection of residents from the Sanctuary for immigration began.

A Gate exclusively for the Sanctuary inhabitants will be established so that they would be able to come and go between the Sanctuary and the Sky Island’s Ancient City as they please.

Even the Sky Island’s relocation to the west of the Sanctuary had been completed.

During that time, the cousins Vart-kun and Valto-kun often demanded for equipment, but Berkut repelled them each time.

Once I was finally had time to relax, I visited the Volton mansion for the first time in so long and I did my routine tasks. Marnie and Maria cleaned the mansion and managed the stock in the warehouse. Laeva was doing some personal research. Lulu-chan prepared tea for Akane and I, and we lounged around in the living room.

At that time, Maria let me know that there was a guest.

I went to the parlor and standing there in greeting was Margrave Volton’s chamberlain Xervus-san.

「It has been a long time, Iruma-dono.」

「Sorry for not staying in contact, Xervus-san. Please take a seat.」

Once Maria finished serving tea, I asked about him about the important matters. For some unknown reason though, Xervus-san found it difficult to say.

「......I apologize for this, but we would like to nominate you for a request, Iruma-dono. I believe that, if possible, it would be best to hear about it from our Lord directly......」

「Understood. So it’s fine if I meet Margrave Volton to talk, right?」

「Thank you very much. I have now carried out my duty.」

Xervus-san seemed relieved. Could it be a really difficult request?

I brought Sophia and Maria with me, and we headed to the Volton Castle in Xervus-san’s carriage.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

「Normal medicine and spells are ineffective for Miss Emilia’s disease. ......Miss Emilia is afflicted with the Magic Depletion Syndrome.」

「Magic Depletion Disorder?」

Seeing that I was puzzled by this unknown disease, Margrave Volton informed me of its particulars.

“Magic Depletion Disorder” was a disease where the magic power throughout the body was gradually lost.

Whether it man, animal, plant, bug, and of course monster, all living beings in this world possess magic power in their body. Even people who can’t use magic or had no training with using magic hold magic within their bodies. And the opinion of today’s magic scholars is that the magic power retained within one’s body unconsciously supports its movements.

And based on the hypothesis of magic power supporting the living beings in this world, if that magic power were lost, it would be difficult to sustain life.

「......are there no outstanding healers in the Royal Capital?」

「There have been very few cases of Magic Depletion Disorder in the past, and neither cause nor cure had been established. As such, even if mana potions were prescribed to alleviate the symptoms, the patient’s condition can’t be stopped.」

「Umm, should I try using Recovery magic since we have nothing to lose?」

I can’t imagine stopping magic power from depleting at all. I think I could cure diseases and even cancer, but I don’t know how I could picture something that I can’t understand in the slightest. That’s why it’s really impossible. However, Margrave Volton denied this.

「No, there is only one miracle drug that would completely cure it.」

「A miracle drug?」

「Yeah, a miracle drug known as 『Soma』.」
