Chapter 426 (2/2)
“Thank you. Umm, how is the Viscount’s condition?”
“Well, let’s go inside and talk. I’m greeting you the last, but Mine, welcome home.”
“… Thank you.”
And as such, the party was shown into the Viscount’s residence through a large living room.
“… What about mother?”
Elsa asked while looking around. This “mother” Elsa referred to obviously was not Mine, but the Viscountess Marlene Randol Von Nefra.
“Oh, mom is at the villa on the shore of Lake Wass for medical treatment.”
Marlene’s body was frail. After giving birth to Fritz, she was told by the Healer that it would not be possible for her to give birth to another child.
For that very reason, Viscount Georg Randall had Mine bare Elsa and took custody of her. … Using marriage as a tool to control Mine.
“… I see.”
Elsa was a little disappointed. Even though they were not blood-related, she wanted to meet the mother that raised her with kindness.
“Well, I have a lot to ask you about. I’m sure you have a lot to tell as well. But first, let’s get the top priority matter out of the way. Shall we?”
Like a sharp and able person he is, Moritz went straight to the point.
“I’ve heard about the purpose of your visit this time from the forerunner. Visiting and diagnosing father, also to talk about the matter regarding Marcus, about sums it up, I believe?”
“Yes.”
Jin replied on behalf of everyone.
“Well, there’s no need for a daughter to hesitate in visiting her father … Elsa, would you tell me everything later on?”
“Yes, brother.”
Moritz seemed to be stifling his eagerness to ask Elsa a lot of questions. Unlike the second son Fritz, he was an intellect. But his body seemed so weak.
“Last time … he immediately regained consciousness when this happened two years ago. But now, he’s still in a coma ….”
Moritz spoke with a depressed face as he invited the party to the room where Georg was resting.
“Father ….”
“My husband ….”
Seeing Georg lying in a vegetative state, Elsa and Mine were speechless.
“Elsa, diagnose and see.”
Had Jin not prompted her to do so, she might have still been in a daze.
“Okay, I got it. … ‘Diagnose’.”
For an instant, Moritz was surprized seeing Elsa utilized an advanced Healing magic, but he kept watching without saying a word.
“… ‘Diagnose’.”
Elsa had to utilize Diangone several times in order to find out what was wrong with her father. In the end, she put her palm on Georg’s forehead.
“’Genesis’.”
She cast the highest degree of Healing magic. As expected, Moritz seemed to be unable to inhibit his amazement at that point.
“E-Elsa! Since when you could …?!”
He blurted out.
“… And, how was it?”
More importantly, Jin was curious about Elsa’s expression. So he wanted to know the result of her diagnosis as soon as possible.
“… There’s a blood clot in here. The clot seems to put pressure on the brain.”
Elsa explained while pointing at his forehead.
“Hmm, the frontal lobe … uh, what was it?”
Even Jin did not know everything. He tried to remember what role the frontal lobe of the brain played, but his memory was hazy.
“Anyway, there is no doubt that his brain is not in good condition.”
“Yup. And I tried using Genesis, but it was barely effective.”
Hearing the conversation between Jin and Elsa, Moritz expressed his thoughts in a roundabout fashion.
“I’m confident that I’ve learned a lot of knowledge, but I can’t keep up with the conversation between the two of you. However, if Genesis isn’t effective, then father is already ….”
“No, that’s not it.”
Jin interjected as if not allowing Moritz to feel depressed.
“Elsa, isn’t Genesis for internal medical treatment?”
“… Yeah, you can call it that.”
“What type of external medical treatment magic can you utilize?”
“… I don’t know if I can use … Complete Genesis, but I’ll give it a shot.”
Complete Genesis was a highly advanced external Healing magic equivalent to surgery.
“Healing power, please heal him ‘Complete Genesis’ ….”
At that moment, the magic was certainly activated. However, Elsa ran out of power and collapsed, just like when she learned to use Genesis for the first time in the past.
Author’s note:
When utilizing a magic skill for the first time, in addition to incantation, I added a chant to emphasize the user’s strong hope to change reality.
