Episode 32.15 (1/2)
Neither Zack Zaikaz or adventurer Baghnatt was aware.
How Eda came running and managed to cast
in time.
Blood gushed out of the headless Aterna's neck, creating a pool of blood on and around Zack's body, but she was the sole casualty, the other two lives were not in any danger.
Let alone danger, Zack's and Baghnatt's states were restored back without any wound or poison left in their systems after getting
cast on them. Nevertheless Riol fetched two green potions, sprinkled one on Zack and had Baghnatt drink another as a precaution.
Zack was moved to the bed Shira used. Riol moved back to the townlord's mansion, but Norma retracted her permission to let the group depart on a long journey.
The departure got postponed.
Once things have been sorted out to a point, the main members of the group gathered at town lord's mansion parlor.
”Why would Aterna-dono tried to kill fa-... Zack-dono.”
It was knight Jakof who answered Riol's whispered query.
”Riol-sama. The one who murdered Aterna's parents and deprived her off their fortune was none other than Zack-dono.”
”Eh”
”However, it appears Zack-dono made some kind of promise to her parents then and took up the mantle of raising her himself.”
”That's, that's”
”Aterna grew up to be an excellent medical practitioner. She should have been unaware about the fact that Zack-sama was her parents' murderer. Who could have believed she was harboring such thoughts all this time. But I do not understand. Aterna-dono was the one person most devoted to Zack-dono's treatment.”
”Medic's spirit.”

Everyone's gazes gathered at Eda who murmured that.
”Eh? Eh? Uh well, I just heard that from Norma-san, you see. Right, right?”
Looks like she reverts to her real character when she's panicking. Norma who got brought up here nodded, 'right'.
”A medic will absolutely never make an attempt to kill or do a malpractice on a patient they're currently treating. It's simply how us medics are.”
”Then why did she keep treating fa-...Zack-dono's over the years. She could have refused to treat him from the start.”
”I'm not sure about that myself. She might be trying to repay her debt, or she was looking for a chance to exact her revenge, or maybe there were other reasons, I lack information to weigh in on the matter.”
”Norma-dono. Please tell me one thing.”
