“Sigh… I can’t believe things turned out like this.”
I was in the bath with Soleil, listening to the report about Crimeana Village. Since the moment they entered Agarta, we had been monitoring them using the forest spirits along with Sadakichi and the others.
“The people of Crimeana are overharvesting the forest trees, and to secure space for their own homes, they are even setting the forest on fire. It’s not a problem if they cut down the trees in moderation, but their actions have gone too far. It’s no wonder the forest spirits are angry.”
“So, are they cursed by the forest spirits?”
“It’s more like harassment from the spirits than a curse. The abnormally high humidity in the entire village is due to the forest spirits cooperating with the water spirits. Because of this, their homes are filled with mold, and some houses even have mushrooms growing inside.”
“I ordered them to harass them, but I never expected it would turn out like this. Anyway, they’ve been living in that dampness throughout the winter… The people of Crimeana Village have incredible endurance.”
“Yes, I thought they would complain right away, but surprisingly, they have patience. But even so, it seems like their spirits are starting to break.”
“I guess so. At that point, it depends on how they react. Ideally, they should return to their homeland quietly.”
“Do you still think Crimeana people will do something, Lord Linos?”
“When a cornered mouse bites, you know. Humans pushed to their limits can do unpredictable things. After all, those people suddenly invaded other countries in large numbers and tried to take them over. In normal circumstances, it would lead to war, but they intentionally provoked wars and occupied countries. They have soldiers who are not afraid to die. Unless there’s a significant difference in military strength, they won’t lose. It’s not wise to confront them head-on. It would be best if they peacefully left this country. Soleil, I’m sorry, but please continue to monitor their movements.”
“I understand.”
“I really appreciate having you on my side, Soleil.”
“Hehe. I’ll be on your side until the end, Lord Linos.”
“You’re reliable. …Shall we get out of here soon, Soleil?”
We got out of the bath and dried ourselves with towels. While drying my own body, I also helped dry Soleil’s. For some reason, she seemed very happy when I did that.
“Lord Linos, I have a request.”
“What is it?”
“A reward… please.”
“Hmm?”
“Tonight…”
“…I see. Do you want it to be gentle or rough today?”
“Today… please make it rough…”
“Are you sure? You tend to say ‘no’ right away, Soleil.”
“Well…”
Soleil blushed all the way to her ears. I picked her up like a princess, and we headed to the room.
———-
The next day, I sat in my office, stifling a yawn. I overexerted myself last night. Soleil’s ample bosom is unfair. On top of that, her eroticism is something else. She truly lives up to being a succubus. I managed to win last night, but in a few years, I might lose to Soleil in the battle on the bed. While thinking about that, there was a knock on the office door. I quickly straightened up and invited them in. It was Mei, Chiwang, Roni, and Clarina, who had defected from Crimeana.
“Oh, Mei, what’s going on?”
“Lord Linos, I’ve come to report on the Kirisrei’s antidote,” Mei said calmly.
“Chiwang, how is it? Is there an antidote?”
“Unfortunately, we haven’t achieved a complete cure yet. However, in parallel, we’ve been developing a drug to prevent Kirisrei’s onset, and that seems to have some promise.”
“Oh?”
“We found this, Lord Linos. By using Cockatrice poison and Clarina’s acid together, it seems like we can suppress the onset of Kirisrei,” Chiwang explained.
“I see. Mei, is this true?”
“I haven’t administered it to a human body yet, so I can’t say for sure. But I tested it on twenty ogres, and none of them developed Kirisrei after being bitten by infected dogs. Furthermore, in cases with mild symptoms, it appears to significantly slow down the progression. It’s still in the experimental stage, though.”
“Impressive. Cockatrice poison, right? Doesn’t that turn people into stone?”
“Yes, the Cockatrice poison contains an 87% concentration of Drowper Salmiface. By mixing it with Clarina’s acid in an 8:2 ratio, we can keep the concentration at an appropriate level. Then, we further extract it using the Solvbons method. When combined with Gatamerans, it seems to achieve maximum effectiveness.”
“….I see… Alright, Mei.” (T/N: I have the same reaction)
Chiwang chuckled as he watched the exchange.
“Mei-sama, your explanation is very clear, but I doubt Lord Linos understands all of it,” Chiwang said with a smile.
“Eh? Oh… I’m sorry. I got carried away with technical terms…” Mei blushed and looked down.
“It’s okay, Mei. The important thing is that we got the idea. Don’t worry about it. Besides, I’m quite satisfied because I got to see Mei’s cute troubled face,” I teased.
Mei turned even redder and lowered her head. Clarina watched with an amused smile.
“Ahem,” Roni coughed discreetly, and then Chiwang continued, “Lord Linos, we would like to request your help in obtaining permission from King Sandanji to administer the preventive medicine we’ve developed to the people of his country.”
“Me? To King Sandanji?”
“Yes, Kirisrei has a high probability of infection when bitten by a dog that has contracted it. There are many such dogs in the Sandanji Kingdom. We need to prevent it as soon as possible.”
“Understood. If that’s the case, I’ll talk to him. By the way, Clarina, how’s your research going?”
“I’m still learning a lot, and it’s challenging to keep up, but I’m enjoying it,” Clarina replied.
“Clarina is a quick learner and has a lot of potential. She’ll definitely become a great researcher,” Chiwang added.
“If Chiwang says so, it must be true. You might become a rival for Roni in the future, right?” I teased.
Upon hearing that, Roni made a displeased face and turned away.
“It’s not so easy for a junior to surpass me,” Roni replied.
“Haha, that’s the spirit, Roni. You’re reliable. Besides, Roni is the primary physician for my daughters, so I’ll continue to rely on her,” I praised.
Saying that, I changed into outdoor clothing and transferred to the Sandanji Kingdom.
Once I informed the palace of my arrival, I was immediately led to an audience room. After a short wait, King Nic entered.
“King of Agarta, you always come out of nowhere,” he remarked.
“I apologize.”
“No need to apologize. Portals like the one from Pousehai are convenient. I envy you every time.”
Nic smirked and then adopted a serious expression as he spoke.
“If King of Agarta and Lady Meirias have come together, does that mean there have been developments regarding Kirisrei?”
“That’s right, Nic-sama. However, this is just a request…” I began explaining about the Kirisrei preventive medicine. Nic listened attentively without interruption.
“How much?”
“Huh?”
“I mean, how much for the preventive medicine?”
“Uh…”
“I will purchase all of it. Please tell me the price you desire.”
Nic’s swift decision left me speechless.
“Money is not necessary.”
Mei spoke up, and even Nic froze in surprise.
“I… I said something unnecessary…”
Mei covered her mouth with both hands and murmured softly. I whispered back to her in a low voice.
“No, Mei, it’s okay. Please continue.”
Mei straightened her back and addressed Nic with a clear voice, “I apologize for my earlier words, Your Majesty. Money is not our goal. Our primary concern is the well-being of the people.”
Nic was still taken aback by Mei’s sudden change.
“I… I see. Very well, then.”
Mei’s determination seemed to have made an impression on Nic.
“The preventive medicine we’ve developed has only been tested on ogres, and its effectiveness hasn’t been confirmed in humans. If we were to administer it to human subjects, there might be unforeseen reactions. That’s why we’re making this request. We won’t accept any payment,” Mei explained.
“But Lady Meirias,” King Nic started to say.
“Nic-sama, Mei is right. We can’t accept money for a medicine that hasn’t been tested on humans yet,” Chiwang added.
“King Sandanji, we will also share the manufacturing method of this preventive medicine with the researchers in your country. We would like to collaborate with the researchers in your country to further improve the effectiveness of this preventive medicine. If possible, we hope it can also be effective for dogs. We will continue to put our efforts into developing a more perfect preventive medicine,” Mei said earnestly.
“Lady Me… Meirias… Agarta King… Thank you… thank you,” King Nic said, tears welling up in his eyes as he bowed.
Afterwards, at Nic’s command, the preventive medicine created by Mei and the others was immediately administered to the citizens of the Sandanji Kingdom. One month later, there were no reports of new cases of Kirisrei in the kingdom, and concerns about side effects or allergic reactions had not materialized.
One day, as Agarta’s snow had completely melted and spring flowers adorned the land, I received a letter and five boxes from the Sandanji Kingdom. We were in the midst of discussing the Sandanji reports with Mei, Chiwang, and Roni. Conveniently, the one who delivered the letter was Raseece, a Pousehai inhabitant working at the Sandanji Kingdom’s medical research institute.
“A letter from Nic-san? What’s this?” I said, taking the letter out of one of the boxes and reading it.
‘One month after administering the preventive medicine you kindly provided to our citizens, there have been no new cases of Kirisrei confirmed in our country. We consider this as proof of the effectiveness of the preventive medicine created by your country. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to bestow upon King Linos Agarta, Queen Meirias, Pousehai’s Chiwang, Roni, and Raseece the highest honor in our country, the Kushanamitrakulin Medal. To my lifelong friends and the saints and wise ones who saved our country—King Nic of Sandanji-Ulha.’
“Well, well,” I said with a wry smile.
Mei and the others exchanged glances and smiled. As I examined the medal, it appeared to be pure gold and bore an image of a human holding a dog. I chuckled and spoke.
“Look at that, even the medal has a dog in its design. In the end, we earned Sandanji’s immense trust in exchange for providing the preventive medicine for free.”
“This medal… it’s cute. It’s very much in line with Sandanji’s style. But we haven’t actually developed a specific cure for Kirisrei yet. We must work diligently,” Mei remarked.
With Mei’s determined words, the faces of Chiwang and Roni tightened. Watching them, I felt confident that we were moving towards the eventual eradication of the disease.
