“Are you not keeping a laboratory notebook? Then, how do you plan to prove the success of your experiments?” Roni questioned Galice, the scholar from the Kingdom of Yomuan, in a stern tone.
“Uh… well, you see… It was just a short two weeks, and that’s why…” Galice stuttered in response.
“That’s not a valid excuse. When conducting any experiment, it is common sense to maintain a detailed laboratory notebook. Without proper documentation, there is no way to prove that the experiment was even conducted. As someone who is supposed to be an educator, you should know that. I can understand if amateurs or students skip this step, but you are supposedly in a position of teaching. I hope you aren’t claiming ignorance,” Roni continued with a critical tone, staring Galice down.
Galice clenched his teeth and glared back at Roni. “Indeed, our experiments were successful. We will reveal the results in a research paper!”
Upon hearing this, Chiwang calmly interjected, “Professor Galice, have you read the minutes of the recent meeting chaired by King Agarta? If you had, you might have come to a different conclusion. Maybe you didn’t receive a copy from the Crimeana Republic, but Crown Prince Vairus of the Hideta Empire mentioned that he had made a copy. Did you not receive it? If not, that would be quite an oversight. Even if it took some time to obtain the minutes, you should have thoroughly read them before conducting the experiments. King Agarta also emphasized the importance of verifying the minutes and pointed out that any corrections should be mentioned.”
Chiwang’s eyes held an intimidating gaze. He was clearly upset. The tension in the room was palpable, and Mei seized the opportunity to intervene.
“We don’t want to invalidate Professor Galice’s research. We just want to confirm. Do you have the minutes with you? Also, could you explain what kind of replication experiments you conducted to arrive at the conclusion that the information in the sanctuary is accurate?”
This suggestion was a lifeline, even for an amateur observer. However, Galice responded with a dismissive tone, “The sanctuary’s information is correct. The director and deputy director of the Republic have given their approval. There’s no room for doubt. Arguing against it goes against Crimeana’s will. It’s…”
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Suddenly, a shout echoed through the cathedral. Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, which belonged to Mei, who was staring at Galice with an intense gaze.
“…Please stop joking. People’s lives are at stake here, you know? If a cure is developed, it will save countless individuals, families, and friends. So why aren’t you putting in your full effort? …You don’t deserve to call yourselves researchers. …Please leave. …All of you, stand up and leave. …If you don’t stand up when asked to, you might never have a chance to stand again.”
The force of Mei’s words overwhelmed the members from the Kingdom of Yomuan, and they exchanged glances with each other. Galice attempted to communicate with Imani and others, but they completely ignored him. They quickly descended from the stage and exited the cathedral.
“Now then, Director Imani. Are you and your team going to behave the same way as the people from the Kingdom of Yomuan? Please don’t disappoint us,” Roni said with a sharp gaze fixed on Imani. However, Imani remained composed and calmly replied, “Of course not.”
Imani then shifted her gaze to Darina and said, “Vice Director, please present the process leading to the discovery of the curative effects.”
“Understood,” Darina replied and stood up slowly.
“We conducted experiments on individuals infected with Kirislei, Gaisha, and Luroans diseases, respectively. That is, we combined bile from sheep-beast people with the acid solution prepared by Ms. Clarina in a 1:3 ratio and directly administered it to human subjects. Immediately after the administration, patients with Kirislei’s disease experienced a fever of nearly forty degrees, but it subsided after two days, and they regained consciousness one day later. Currently, they can walk, communicate without any issues, and lead a normal daily life. As for the patients with Gaisha’s disease, they already had paralysis in their lower bodies. Typically, the paralysis progresses to the upper body, causing respiratory distress and leading to death. However, they have remained in their current state, with paralysis limited to the lower body. Lastly, regarding the Luroans’s disease patient, the purple spots on their neck have disappeared, and there have been no cases of fatalities, with the patient leading a normal life. That concludes our report.”
“As Vice Director Darina has just explained, we are currently working on creating a more detailed research paper to further elaborate on these experimental results. If requested, we are willing to conduct interviews with the patients who cooperated in the experiments. However…”
At this point, Imani paused and continued in a low voice, speaking slowly as if reminding the gathered researchers, “Regarding the acid solution developed by Ms. Clarina, the rights to its production belong to our Crimeana Republic and are considered the property of the Crimeana Religion. Please keep this in mind.”
Once again, applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Were the members of the Crimeana Religion practiced for such moments? Their unity and composure were quite apparent. Amidst the cheers, Mei stood up again.
“I understand your explanation well. However, I have a significant question.”
“What’s the major question?” Imani asked.
“Vice Director Darina mentioned that you did not personally prepare the patients for the experiment. Is that correct?”
Darina chuckled dismissively, replying, “Queen Agarta, do you know how much effort it takes to prepare experimental patients? I am a busy person too, and I don’t have that much time. So, I used the patients prepared by Ms. Clarina for the experiment.”
Hearing this, Mei leaned forward.
“So… you didn’t personally prepare the patients yourself, right? Then how did you find out that those patients were suffering from Kirislei and others? According to your statement, there is no evidence that these diseases are transmitted through the bodily fluids of beast people. Did you properly investigate the transmission routes and verify them before publishing them in the sanctuary? Or did the sanctuary publish such a dubious paper without proper evidence?” Mei pressed further.
“Queen Agarta, your words are going too far! We conducted experiments to investigate the transmission routes and verified them. Based on that, we proceeded with the experiment for the curative medicine and proved its effectiveness. I personally confirmed it,” Darina fervently argued, her face turning red. But Mei remained composed.
“Earlier, Vice Director Darina mentioned that Ms. Clarina prepared the patients, right? That’s correct, isn’t it? My husband… I mean, King Linos?” Mei turned to Linos, who paused his shorthand writing to look at her.
“Uh… just a moment. …I asked King Agarta… no, I mean, I asked the person responsible for taking minutes, King Linos, for verification… Yes, here it is. Vice Director Darina’s statement was… ‘Queen Agarta, do you know how much effort it takes to prepare experimental patients? I am a busy person too, and I don’t have that much time. So, I used the patients prepared by Ms. Clarina for the experiment.’ That’s what she said. …Yes, please continue?”
“Thank you. …So, Ms. Clarina, you prepared the patients, right?”
The furrows between Darina’s eyebrows deepened.
“Yes, I personally prepared the patients. I confirmed that the diseases were transmitted through the bodily fluids of beast people.”
“I request to see your laboratory notebook, if you don’t mind,” Roni quickly demanded.
“Ms. Clarina, can you prepare your laboratory notebook immediately?” Imani asked while keeping her gaze on Mei and Roni. She then slowly turned her eyes toward Clarina, narrowing them slightly.
“Yes, no problem. I will prepare it right away,” Clarina replied with a nod. Imani and Darina both nodded in agreement. As if confirming this, the Pope spoke.
“It seems that it will take some time for preparation. Let’s take a one-hour break and reconvene later. Is that acceptable?”
Both Mei’s group and Imani’s group nodded. I nodded too, swaying my right hand, which was getting close to its limit.
After the break, when the members of the Crimeana Institute appeared on the stage, the cathedral fell into an eerie silence. Imani, the director, was absent, and Darina and Clarina appeared on the stage with bewildered expressions, directoring toward their seats. Then, Darina trembled and spoke.
“We apologize to everyone present. The Director of the Crimeana Medical Research Institute, Imani, has… collapsed.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
