Chapter 102
(Kaoru)I am a healing sage from another kingdom. I have given potions even to royalties.
When I said so to the gatekeepers, they let me enter politely. Right now, Im wearing a shady mask for my disguise.
is this okay to take a suspicious person in so easily!?
When I asked so.
(Gatekeeper)If something happens, its just yours and my head that will fly. Its not a big deal compared to the chance that Charlot-sama can be healed.
No, that is a big deal! At least for me!
though, if the gatekeeper could say that far for him, I guess theyre good nobles, after all
Its according to Emile and Bells investigation, huh
Well, of course, I dont doubt Emile and Bells results.
And then, I was guided by one of the gatekeepers and went into the manor.
I dont even need to say as it could be seen that this place is Baron Drivells royal residence. I have heard that the baron wished for a doctor or medicine regardless of the other partys status and I have decided to go to him straight ahead. Of course, while in disguise.
I have changed the color of my hair, eyes and skin, and wear the jewelry that I used when I went to the party in Acyl-sans place. I have thought that if they look at my jewelry, they will lose the impression of my other parts, hence it will be difficult for them to recognize me who doesnt wear jewelry just like a girl who took off her glasses that she always wear.
Im a genius!
Also, if Im wearing expensive jewelry, I could be seen that I dont have any trouble with money, hence I dont have anything to do with scamming the nobles and desperately risking my life. I also have to bide to their authority too, here.
And, for the finishing blow, this shady mask.
with this, all of their authority and trust are now ruined.
(Drivell)So youre a healing sage from another kingdom. Well then, do you have a Long-lived Red Soil?
(Kaoru)No, I dont have that, though?
(Drivell)What did you say!?
The Baron and the gatekeeper who is standing by next to me looked surprised.
Ah~, the gatekeeper is now in position where he can arrest me as soon as I make a suspicious move.
Even if you are a baron, which is a lower-class aristocrat, as the head of the household itself, there will still be someone who holds a resentment or wants to have a relationship with interests even if the said person is not in the midst of political conflict or having a grudge. Thus, they wont take such needless risks. No matter how powerless I looked, there is still a possibility that I have concealed weapons or poisons.
To begin with, I am a self-proclaimed healing sage, hence they would think that it is natural that I have some poisons with me.
(Kaoru)What I could prepare is not that kind of medicine. Its a medicine that is more effective than that.
(Drivell)W-what!? Its more effective than Long-lived Red Soil, you said!? There shouldnt be such thing, no wait, I have heard rumors that theres such medicine in a distant kingdom, but its impossible to bring it as its too far and might not last a long time
In addition, they also said that the medicine has been out of production for some time, and it is said that the healing sage who made it has died and the preparation method is lost
Arya~, this kingdom is quite far from Balmore Kingdom so my potions should not have been marketed in this kingdom as of yet, but he knows quite exactly what my potion is. If he is a baron, then the information shouldnt be that easy to get as its limited to the upper-class, right?
Even if I talk about this, it will only be a waste of time. Besides, if they dont believe me, they dont have to drink the potions. If its rejected, all I have to say is It seems theres no chance for it this time.
Francette might be a little disappointed, but it cant be helped. Apart from that, there is no need to force them to drink, and I dont intend to look into troubles with those who dont believe me if I said the believer will be saved. Therefore
Hyoi~!
I swung out a bottle from my pocket and caught it.
(Kaoru)Here, its a remedy, the Goddess Tears
Yes, this is not the commonly distributed potion that was marketed in Balmore Kingdom, but instead its the Goddess Tears which is specially made by Angel-sama and was distributed behind the scenes.
After all, I am not Kaoru the shop owner but Angel-sama.
(Drivell & Gatekeeper)Eh?
The Baron and the gatekeeper opened their eyes wide.
(Drivell)Wha..
And it seems that Baron Drivell cant even say a single word.
(Kaoru)No, like I said, this is the remedy, the Goddesss Tears. If you dont need it, Ill put it back and leave Ah, because the remedy cannot be preserved, if I you dont drink it quickly, it wont work.
After the Baron hesitated for a while.
(Drivell)This way!
I was guided to a place that looks like a childrens room by the Baron. There lies a 10-year-old boy on the bed.
(Drivell)Charlot, this is a new medicine, drink it!
Baron Drivell let his son drink the Goddess Tears which was received from me. His hand seems to be shaking a little while looking desperate as to not let the Goddess Tears spilled even one bit. Well, even if it spilled a little, there wont be problem at all, though.
The boy doesnt seem to be asleep, hence the father raised his body and put the potion bottle into his mouth and let him drink the contents of it.
If I think about it, I didnt question about how the nobles would let their important son drink a medicine offered by an unknown child with no doubt at all. Even when it was in the royal capital of Balmore Kingdom where the angel was well-known
They are probably being driven to a wall or thinking if this is a lie, I will take care of you here!.
Well, he might judged that nobody would make such tomfoolery as it seems that even children could understand what would happen. After all, if he already knew about Goddess Tears,he should have known about its immediate effect as well.
And then.
(Charlot)Father, I feel like my body has now become easy to move
(Drivell)R-really!? The fever! Hows your fever!?
He wanted to shout in rejoice. However, the baron was afraid if it was just a premature joy and desperately tried to kill his emotions. And the baron constantly changes his expression as this miracle is still unbelievable for him.
(Charlot)My dizziness and fever seems to have also gone now
After the baron put his hand on his sons, uhh, Charlot-kuns forehead, looked into his eyes, put out his tongue, and so on, he finally understood that his sons illness has been cured.
It may not have been an incurable illness or intractable diseaseif its in the perspective of modern Japan, that is.
However, even if the disease can be cured easily with a single injection or rather without the need of medicines nor nutrition, humans can still die easily in this worlds civilization level. Especially for young children.
Thus, we cant be sure about what the childs sickness is and whether it will heal naturally even if we left it alone. But for this Baron, I will probably be nothing else besides a Goddess angel who saved his sons life.
And the Baron, who seems to have suddenly realized something, turned to me and kneeled. Of course, thats not what the nobles usually do for a mere healing sage.
Perhaps, rather than believing in the existence of a 12-year-old healing sage who miraculously brought a Gods medicine which should have a very short expiration date, she then gave it easily without price negotiations, it would have been more realistic to believe in the existence of The Goddess Angel. For the Barons common sense, that is
Yeah, I would also think so.
(Drivell)Im very thankful of Angel-sama for saving my son, Charlots life
Huh? He suddenly decided with Angel-sama even without confirming it first? Dont tell me..
(Kaoru)Umm, do you know me?
(Drivell)Yes, I already knew it when I was searching for medicines for my son in various ways. There are rumors spread in Balmore Kingdom and its surrounding kingdoms for several years about miracle drug called Potion, and they said that the one who is behind its production and distribution was the existence of a single girl with a sharp gaze and menacing lookwhich could make children cry.
Theres also a rumor that the one who is behind the defeat of Arigo Empire, the miraculous restoration of the ruined Holy State of Rueda four years ago, and the one who did a private talk with Celestine-sama after she descended, was said to be a girl who has a menacing loo-intense look.
The secret organization, Goddess Eyes which runs behind the scene and gives salvation to the righteous people according to the angel herself.
Im just a poor low-class aristocrat, Baron, but I was desperate to save my child even if its a distant place from ones kingdom and the whole story could not be understood completely as it only circulates around high-ranked nobles. So, with that much information
Geez, thats enough! You dont have to try to avoid the word menacing that hard!
Its rather uncomfortable if you are too careful about it!!
Damn it.
