Chapter 373

Episode 373 Vitiligo (4)

Selis’ treatment started the next day.

She was completely entrusted to Ray.

Reliability was already at its peak, as the Eye of Truth, which distinguishes lies, did not respond to him.

After measuring the extent of the vitiligo lesion, Ray nodded.

If this is enough, it can be fixed.

If the melanocytes are regenerated with drugs and the range of lesions is gradually reduced, the unsightly stains will soon disappear.

Ray took the drug out of his leather pouch.

Then he applied it carefully to Celis’ skin.

“Your skin may feel itchy after applying it. Don’t ever touch me.”

“Yeah...”

She had been waiting until she could not sleep because of the treatment, but was disappointed in her heart when he saw that he was applying water to her skin.

‘Is it really better with this...’

The eyes of truth were still telling him that his words were true, but looking at his actions, I was a little suspicious.

I thought there was something wrong with the way she cast field magic with only the starter words, but it seems that her expectations were wrong.

Ray, who was aware of her intentions or not, had applied all the drugs to his skin, and got up after shaking his hands.

“It’s almost over, so you can go back. I need to see the condition, so come visit me once a day from now on.”

“...is this really the end?”

When she asked hesitantly, Ray smiled.

It seems that the treatment is not reliable.

It would be natural.

Medicine had just begun to spread, and the Dark Elves, who had relatively little contact with humans, would not have known of the existence of medicine.

“Then did you know how to use divine power? As I said before, there is a limit to fixing it with divine power. For now, this is the best.”

In the eyes of truth, there is still no reaction.

That word just now must mean the truth.

Celis, who had made a moaning sound, nodded.

“...okay. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Although they share the same house, the space between him and her is clearly divided.

She is using her right side to lay down her left side.

Also, the house is quite large.

To the extent that the expression that you have to come is right.

While tidying up her clothes, she stood up.

His face was expressionless, but the overall look of disappointment was evident.

* * *

Ray has spent the past two weeks collecting herbs that will help heal Celis.

As promised with Derp in the past, he did not bother to use mana for chores.

Mana is a mighty force.

At the same time, it is a sweet temptation that makes it possible to take care of things that need to be dealt with in an instant.

Anyone who has tasted the sweetness of mana at least once would not be able to imagine a life without using mana.

Derp had said this out of concern.

– Works that can only be created using mana can never be said to be my skill. You should be able to get out of the comfort of mana.

Ray also thought that was a valid point.

If you lean on comfort once or twice and get used to it, the time when your mind will be shaken will surely come.

Digging up the roots of herbs without damaging them without the help of mana and shaking off the soil was a much more laborious task than I thought.

In addition, the land of the elves was hard as it had not been touched by anyone for hundreds of years.

He pushed his way through the tough grass and forced his way through the hard ground.

Thanks to that, the robe turned into a muddy mess.

The Dark Elves who were looking at him frowned.

“They’re doing that to fix the curse.”

“Tsk tsk, what a futile effort.”

“How can a mere human try to fix the curse sent by heaven?”

He clicks his tongue once and goes on his way.

However, not all Dark Elves turned their backs.

Among them were the benevolent Dark Elves.

There were elves who gave away the fruit and left, and there were elves who gave Ray a mattress made of leaves as he traveled through the forest day and night.

An elderly elf with wrinkles on his face from old age approached Ray.

If I keep going like this, I’m starting to see hope that I can really be completely cured.

The overflowing happiness was immediately expressed on his face.

Nothing special happened, but Ray smiled as he watched Sellis babble.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s already been fixed.”

“It’s okay to say anything. It is true that it is being fixed.”

While talking, he showed his own spots, but if someone unfamiliar saw them, they would be no different from the first ones.

It will take months for all of that to go away.

However, to an elf, a year or so is nothing.

Even if it takes five years, she will be able to wait with a smile.

I liked Ray and said to Sellis who was about to die.

“Because you don’t know, watch out for sunlight until you’re cured. For now, don’t go out and stay at home.”

“huh. I will.”

Lately, I’ve been listening really well.

There was once a time when I was told to stand on a handstand with one hand for treatment.

If she and he had met for the first time, they would have been suspicious with hostility, but by now, even that was well followed.

Thanks to that, there was no time to be bored.

You could say that he is a skilled and evil doctor.

Tong— Tong—

A Dark Elf came in with a knock on the door from outside.

He came in front of Ray.

“Is there a problem?”

“The elder says that the barrier magic circle is ready to be released.

“All right.”

I guess the time has finally come.

It is a sacred place that all elves in the past defended with their lives, and it is a secret place that is only allowed to authorized persons.

Human beings are the first to set foot in a place that has never been allowed to enter an unqualified being.

Selis said anxiously.

“It’s a place where people you can’t handle gather. Even when you say a word, think it over carefully in front of them.”

He responded with a nod of his head once.

However, as if that wasn’t enough, Celis continued to give advice on stretching.

“If you hate me once, it’s the end! know?”

“What are those clothes? Even wearing the rags worn by dwarves would be better than that!”

“I can’t. Take that off right now and change into this.”

She shot her words at such a speed that she did not even dare to answer, and held out a garment made of leaves.

The natural clothing of elves.

It is an eco-friendly garment made by elaborately weaving leaves.

It was a great piece of clothing, except that the area was small enough to barely cover important parts.

Ray looked at it with a hardened face.

Even if you look at it, it’s thinner than the other elves.

There was no way I could wear it.

The conscience and the law-abiding spirit, which were not long left in him, united in one mind and refused to wear clothes.

However, Selis’ hand was tenacious.

He held it in his hand, which he had been trying to avoid.

Why do they voluntarily want to defile their sacred place?

Certainly, the culture of the elves is beautiful, and each other’s culture deserves to be understood.

this is not a bit

No matter how you think about it, it was a costume that would raise a lot of problems.

When Ray tried to protest, the young elf who had come to convey the elder’s words added.

“Also, the elder told me to be sure to return after bathing. Otherwise, the barrier magic would not be canceled...” “

....”

Selis affirmed from the side.

“Think of it as the will of heaven and wear it.”

Ray grabbed the traditional elven costume.

the will of the sky

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

As if in response, the sky, which had been covered in dark clouds, cleared wide.

For some reason, it seemed that Gaia was smiling.
