Yomite turned his gaze towards the door and shouted, "Maids, gather! Quick!!"
And soon enough seven maids had gathered inside of the room.
Bearing witness to the strange scene of his fingers inside Deaconess Barbara's mouth, so of them were filled with strange and exciting fantasies.
"W-What is it, sir."
The youngest maid spoke, unsure of how to address the man whose fingers were still inside Deaconess Barbara's mouth, as he was the one who called for them.
Her na was Noelle and despite her being the youngest she was hailed as the best.
Skilled in every departnt. A jack of all trades, but a master of all.
Her dream was to be a Knight, but she loved being a maid, so she did her maid duties while studying to beco an exemplary knight.
Yomite knew this maid, as he t her before in Jean's office a few months ago. She was also the second person who knew Jean's dark secret.
"Hurry and bring water with salt and sugar dissolved into it. If possible, bring so squeezed apple juice too! The more the better, just keep bringing them here!"
Upon his commands, Noelle started imdiately moving, unlike her peers who just stood there idly, unsure of what to do.
She glanced at them and spoke with a gentle, yet resolute voice, "We need to save the Deaconess Barbara. So please, let's do our best!"
Upon seeing her like this, the maids got moving and did as Yomite ordered.
"Woah, Bad Tattoo is actually surprisingly dependable as a leader when it cos to it," Paimon said in awe.
Yomite ignored her stupid provocative remark and turned to Lumine, "Do you have anything you can help with? So power of stabilization or maybe inner healing, or sothing we can use? Ki? Qi? Hidden overpowered protagonist ability you have yet to show ?"
"Protagonist ability??...Unfortunately, no. I would like to help you, but I have nothing of that sort...I am sorry I am of no help...Please tell what I need to do if possible..."
"Good, then go and help Jean. Not only do we need to keep an eye on everyone who got in contact with Barbara, but also on the Villagers from Springvale, because it looks like the main source of the problem cos from there."
"So make sure you put them all into quarantine! Don't let any of them escape and spread it around the world! Once you are there, check the water source and try searching for dead animals. If there are any, burn them. We need to find the source and stop the spreading. Also, collect as many Apples and Sunsettias on your way as you can, because not only does Barbara need them, the villagers need to be saved too, and I can only imagine they are in a far worse state than her, if not already dead."
"Once you are done, hand them over to maids so that they can make more rehydration drinks!"
Lumine widened her eyes, and nodded, "You are right. I am going... Good luck." An almost emotionless woman of a few words left the room with Paimon, and Yomite was left alone with Barbara.
In the case of Cholera that caused diarrhea in large amounts, it was possible for the body to eject liquid in an amount that even surpassed the patient's body weight.
This disease called Cholera could make a human with a weight of 50 kg produce an amount of diarrhea that reached a hundred liters.
The highest cause of death from Cholera was caused by dehydration after the body lost the water and electrolytes inside the body after repeated vomiting and diarrhea.
To deal with that, it wasn't as simple as making the patient drink.
The weakened large intestine wouldn't be able to absorb water well, so even after the patient drank water, it would only get discharged again. In the end, many of the patients would die from dehydration.
However, when the small intestine was absorbing salt and glucose, water would also be absorbed together with them.
Oral rehydration solutions were developed by using that concept.
Cholera's diarrhea would make the patient lose a lot of sodium and potassium at the sa ti.
It would be effective to eat apples, bananas or the sweet sunsettias of this world to replenish those.
Yomite had studied a lot about it after his mother had passed away.
So luckily, his knowledge was quite vast regarding this very specific illness.
(Shit...Her stamina is far more exhausted than I expected...if only I was told half a day earlier...)
Although it was sothing that couldn't be helped, Barbara had withered and weakened more than he expected.
Yomite unconsciously bit his lip seeing her.
Originally it would be preferable to directly administer nutrients into the blood vessel using intravenous drip if the equipnt was available, but there was no use to wish for sothing that didn't exist.
This world was simply way too different.
"It'll be alright, Barbara, you will be cured. You'll soon be beautiful again, singing in the town, so please be strong!"
Seeing that she wanted to speak, he had decided to remove his fingers.
"I am going to remove my fingers, I trust that you won't do sothing stupid like that ever again."
If she tried sothing again though, he was resolute to knock her out and feed her the drinks mouth to mouth if necessary.
Although that would be a stupid idea considering he would get infected imdiately...
"Yo…..u...are?"
She spoke weakly.
"I am Yomite Hissha, people call the Hero of Mondstadt for whatever the reason. We have t before, rember?"
"Oh...yo.....u are one of those... people... who...returned the Lyre..."
"Ah! Yes, yes indeed! Your mory is quite good!"
Barbara opened her eyelids that had beco heavy and let out a weak smile.
"I...know what happened...to the Lyre... it's still...broken you...fat liar."
Yomite scratched the back of his neck out of embarrassnt, "Eh...I guess I was caught red-handed. I swear I will pay you back for the Lyre later, okay? Mhmm...I know! We can go on a date later so you can shout at all you want as my punishnt. Just make sure you get through this, okay?"
"Dat...e...You want to...date soone...who looks this... disgusting? I am... beyond saving.....Th...is is so...sha....ful. Just let it e...nd..."
Her mind was once again flooded by negative thoughts. There was truly no way out of this.
