18 Lesson 18: The Past and Sickness (2/2)

”Huh? Float, cahhhhhh!!”

Mr. Liliera hugs me hard, surprised that I have risen into the sky.

...... hmm, it's soft. And it smells kind of good.

... No! No! Don't even think about it!

”Mr. Liliera, I'm going through the woods to the village, so I'll leave you with detailed directions”

”hey!? and he's flying!? he's flying - huh!?”

”Yes, it's flying magic.”

”Flying magic!? What is it!? What is it!?”

”Flying magic is flying magic.”

”I didn't mean it like that. Whoa!

Mr. Liliera, what the hell are you yelling at?

”Uh, it was definitely a southeast direction.

When I checked the direction, I started flying towards Liliera's village.

”Wow!? It's working!? It's working!?”

”That's flying magic, so you can move.”

”Who the hell are you to be able to use attack magic to sweep away demons, tremendous junction magic, healing magic, or even fly in the sky!?”

”I'm just a b-rank adventurer, though?

”Absolutely lying. Huh!

It's true.

◆

”Lying, I'm really here...”

In the evening, when the sky was nearly dark, we arrived in Mr. Liliera's village.

It was three days away from the village, but if we didn't bypass the Warcraft Forest, we arrived in the village unexpectedly early.

Is Mr. Liliera tired of traveling in the sky?

I put in a few breaks along the way, but I don't know because you've been holding onto me for a long time.

”Come on, let's go cure Mr. Liliera's mother”

When I give him my hand, Mr. Liliera stares at me with anxious eyes.

”Hey, are you sure you can fix this?

Liliera asks with a voice that sounds like anxiety and expectations have been mixed up.

”It's okay, let's go!

”... yeah”

Liliera grabbed my hand and stood up.

My house is this way.

◆

Liliera led us to the house of a relative whose parents and children were in trouble.

When Mr. Liliera knocks on the door of the house, the chatter and the door open.

”Who the hell is this time...... isn't that Liliera!? Long time no see!

It was a woman with a similar atmosphere to Mr. Liliera who welcomed me.

”Hissing Auntie”

”Isn't it unusual for you to come home? You said you weren't coming home until you found a way to cure your illness, and all you had to do was send me a letter.”

”Yeah, I found a way to cure that disease.”

”Is that true!?”

I'm surprised Mr. Liliera's aunt rounded her eyes.

He said he knew how to do it.

When Lilliera turns her gaze toward me, Lilliera's aunt looks at me.

”What about this girl?

”I owe you my life. He's such an amazing adventurer that he defeats a powerful herd of demons by himself. If he hadn't helped me, I'd be dead by now.”

”Heh, such a little boy!? People don't look like it”

He said it was small... he wasn't reluctant.

But, well, I guess it's better than being ridiculed in the back.

”Nevertheless,”

Liliera's aunt stared at Liliera as a jerk.

”What do you mean she was dead by now, you stupid girl!!”

Gotsung!! I made a lot of awesome noises and a gen trick shook down Mr. Liliera's head.

”Ouch!!”

”Ouch! No, you're not, you stupid girl! Thank God it hurts! You didn't even think it would hurt if you were dead!

Mr. Liliera is scolded for his tremendous sword screen.

Yeah, I don't give you extra mouth at times like this.

If you get involved badly, you'll jump over here!

”Well, looks like you got this stupid girl taken care of.”

I thought something like that, and the spear pointed this way.

”Oh, no. Never mind.”

”Atashi is Elisia. She's the aunt of this stupid girl.”

”Oh, I say Lex”

Then Mr. Elysia bowed her head to me deeply.

”Rex, I really appreciate you. Thank you for protecting her.”

From Mr. Elisia's words, it comes from the bottom of her heart that she is worried about Mr. Liliera.

”Never mind. Mr. Liliera is one of the same adventurers.”

”You know what?”

”More than that, would you let me see Mr. Liliera's mother? If the disease is Alza's disease, it should be curable without Zenso grass.”

”No, you didn't say that! I forgot because my stupid daughter was an idiot! Come on in.”

Elysia prompted us to enter the house.

”It's a small house, but give me a break”

I'm sorry to say this, but Mr. Elysia's house was certainly small.

Well, this is what a peasant's house looks like.

We used to be like this, too.

”Liliera's mother is this way. Mariel! Liliera's back with her girlfriend!

”Ha!?”

”Hey!? Auntie, what are you talking about!

We get confused when Mr. Elysia says something strange all of a sudden.

”It's a joke. A joke. There you go. I'm in.”

Elisia pushes us in the back, and we enter the room where Liliera lives.

But it's dim in the room, and I'm not sure where Mr. Liliera's mother is.

”Could it be Liliera?

A slightly faint voice is heard from the back of the room.

”Mother!”

I guess you remember the placement of things even if you can't see them, Mr. Liliera cleverly advancing through the dim room.

”I'll get you some lights now, just a minute.”

That's how Mr. Elysia turned on the lights revealed the whole room.

In a nutshell, it was a storeroom.

Beds were placed in small storerooms and used as rooms.

”I think it's bad, because we're too small.”

You're feeling guilty about pushing you into a narrow place, and Elysia squeals with regret.

”Mother, lose weight again...”

When we turned our gaze to Liliera's words, we saw the woman holding Liliera on the bed.

”This man...”

”Oh, this is Mariel, Atashi's sister and Liliera's mother.”

Somehow, he looked miserable.

Mariel is terribly thin and has runny hair.

But what caught my attention most of all was the light purple skin that was still dyed by them.

Definitely symptoms of Alsa disease.

When those still completely cover their bodies, Mr. Mariel loses his life by losing the demonic poison.

”Oh, you're Liliera's lover?

And Mariel asks me when she realizes I exist.

”What!? No, you don't! I'm a friend of Liliera's!?”

Um, are we friends? A fellow adventurer? But isn't it?

What the hell does that have to do with anything? I don't know myself.

”Oh, yeah! He's my friend!

When strongly denied, that's what I miss.

”Uh, my name is Rex. Liliera told me what was going on, and I'm here to cure Mariel's illness.”

”Well, take my illness!?”

”Yes.”

Somehow, that's not a very difficult patient-like reaction.

Nevertheless, I know that's acting.

Because patients with Alsa disease, once they get sick, continue to suffer until they die.

Her breathing is now very rough and her body is sweating.

It's supposed to be pretty painful, but I'm pretending to be okay for Mr. Liliera.

”Mr. Rex, heal your mother quickly!

”Yeah, I know.”

Mr. Liliera stares at me with her true eyes.

I won't put it into words, but Elysia beside me was throwing a strong gaze at me, too.

You really can fix this, can't you? and.

”Now, if you'll excuse me”

When I knelt beside Liliera, I took Mariel's hand and activated the magic.

”Elder Heels!”

A magical light wraps around Mr. Mariel's body.

And in an instant, the purple stain that was eroding Mr. Mariel's body disappeared.

”Yes, fully healed”

Elder Heel. It is a versatile curative magic that I have developed in previous generations to make it more difficult to develop another medicine or magic for demonic opponents who develop various poisons, diseases, etc.

'Cause it's easier to cure it all with the same drug than to change the type of drug one way or the other?

The magic is the same. Um, was it magic to cure this disease? It's a pain in the ass to be.

Well, for that matter, I consume just a little more magic than any other magic.

……

Ms Liliera, Mr Mariel and Mr Elysia are watching this one silently.

Is that it? Are you not happy? It's healed, right?

”Um, you're cured now, aren't you?

……

Hey, react, please.

”” ”Eh, eh!? Ugh!?” ”

Oh, I reacted.
