”Three more huh.”
Norma was perplexed to hear the word coming out of Lecan's mouth.
”Eh?”
”You told us we'd be visiting four houses today, didn't you.”
Norma was dumbfounded for a while before speaking up angrily.
”What are you talking about, Lecan! This isn't the time to worry about that!”
”Thank you, Norma.”
”...Eh?”
”You're worried about Eda, right. It would cause a huge uproar if people found out she could cast

”Lecan. You're”
”Eda was summoned to the temple a few days ago.”
”Eh”
”And the priests there were pressuring her into showing them her <Recovery> spell.”

”Haa?”
”Then I told them. Eda, my inexperienced pupil could employ a slightly lesser version of that.”

”You're... really strong. If only father had even half your strength...”
”Hum?”
”It's nothing. Right. No point in stressing over something that hasn't happened. We've gotta do all we can do today. Alright! Lecan. Eda. Time to get to work.”
”Got it.”
”Yes.”
Jinga was standing by the door.

The second house call was at a luxurious house. But they had no family name, they weren't a noble family.
The patient was an elderly woman, she was skinny with an ill-looking yellowed face, she couldn't even get up in her bed.
An abnormality in her spine and a disease attacking her entrails are said to have caused this.
Norma thoroughly explained to Lecan how the problematic entrails should have worked originally, and what kind of abnormalities presently taking place.
