Chapter 346 Jin’s true intention (2/2)
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website
Jin, now looking back at Elsa, spoke even further.
“I will just protect the stuff I want to protect however I can. That’s all there is to it.”
“………”
Maybe because he had just let out the feelings he had been accumulating inside him, Jin now had a somewhat lonely smile on his face, different from a while before.
“Sorry. I wasn’t supposed to tell you this, Elsa…… I might be a bit too tired…”
Saying that, Jin scratched his head. Elsa took his hand and said,
“…No, I am happy you told me… I can’t do anything for you but I could at least listen. Don’t bear it all by yourself.”
Jin stared at Elsa’s face.
“…….Jin-nii?”
Elsa was a bit perplexed seeing Jin different from usual.
“….Thank you…… Even though there’s the chance of getting to see and hear many interesting things in Shouro empire’s imperial palace now, why do I have to be troubled by something like this… when I think of that, it’s harsh…”
He said, sounding fatigued. And to that Jin, Elsa said with a worried tone.
“….Jin-nii, you’re carrying too much all alone. Ms. Reiko and the others were also worried about it.”
It was during the time when the fight with the Unifiers was closing in. At that time, after being requested by Reiko and Laojun, Elsa assisted Jin and helped him get a change of pace.
“I am unreliable, and can’t do much but, I want you to rely on me, even if a little. Like this time.”
As Elsa finished saying, Jin hung his head.
“Jin-nii?”
But then soon raised his face, this time with a much more cheerful expression.
“……That’s right. I might have been conceited to think that I could do everything by myself. Even this time, I got help from you.”
Saying that, Jin slapped his face with both hands and said,
“Thank you, Elsa. I have snapped out of it.”
The ‘thank you’ this time had strength in it.
“Before, Reinhart had told me that I should learn about this world’s standards. I do think I understand that I am the odd one out in this world. Although I do end up going a bit too far sometimes.”
Jin’s eyes were also smiling now.
“But, I am me. I can’t change that. If I look like I am about to make a mistake, Elsa, please tell me.”
“….Mm. Leave it to me!”
Elsa said, giving a lively nod, unlike herself, which made Jin smile and tap her shoulder.
“Alright, let’s go…… Reiko, sorry but could you load the ‘treatmenter’ into Pegasus 1?”
Reiko was looking a bit lonely behind Jin but when she heard those instructions, she gave a smile and said,
“Yes, father.”
She happily raised the treatmenter.
(I am glad, father’s mood livened up… Ms. Elsa is sure good at doing that… it is a bit frustrating but I have to admit it.)
The treatmenter was immediately loaded onto Pegasus 1 and Jin made it so that it could radiate from underneath.
“This should be good. If medicare is enough to make it harmless, genesung should have a greater effect in a short period of time.”
According to Jin’s assumption, the pathogen for the magic depletion disease is caused by the sudden change in the virus or germ which are making the birds ill.
As such, he thought that if he were to revert those changes back to normal using healing magic, he could make them harmless.
And if the people with the disease were also cured while doing that, that’s killing two birds with one stone. However, he doesn’t plan on making such a drastic move so often.
“Well then, Elsa, get on. Reiko, let’s go.”
“Mm.”
“Yes.”
With Jin, Elsa and Reiko on board, Pegasus 1 took flight towards the morning sky. They also activated stealth to be unseen from underneath.

“First, we start with Rakham.”
They aimed for Rakham, the temporary base for Earl Walter and the place which was most likely the source of the disease.
“…..Jin-nii, you’re really amazing. To be able to fly through the skies so freely like this.”
Elsa said, being excited to have a view from the sky like this for the 2nd time.
After gathering the information from the Quinta who were scattered in different places, Laojun had determined that at the time being, the seriously ill people were at Rakham and then at Thaw city and Sharuru city.
“Genesung’s magic reverts abnormality back to normal. Meaning, healthy people won’t feel anything.”
Jin muttered to himself. Elsa, who had heard that, was impressed.
They didn’t really use genesung on healthy people before but there should be quite a lot of them inside the magic range.
Despite that, the only ones receiving the healing will be either wounded people or ill people.
“Jin-nii’s insight is not wrong, I think.”
Being told that by Elsa, Jin stopped Pegasus 1 on top of Rakham.
And then, with a serious expression, he activated the treatmenter.
