Episode 13.1-2
"Three more huh."
Norma was perplexed to hear the word coming out of Lecan's mouth.
"Eh?"
"You told us we'd be visiting four houses today, didn't you."
Norma was dumbfounded for a while before speaking up angrily.
"What are you talking about, Lecan! This isn't the ti to worry about that!"
"Thank you, Norma."
"...Eh?"
"You're worried about Eda, right. It would cause a huge uproar if people found out she could cast ."
"Lecan. You're"
"Eda was summoned to the temple a few days ago."
"Eh"
"And the priests there were pressuring her into showing them her spell."
"A-and then?"
"I showed them my ."
"Haa?"
"Then I told them. Eda, my inexperienced pupil could employ a slightly lesser version of that."
"And then? What happened then?"
"After so disputes, priest Casis ended up having his position stripped temporarily, and would be put on a temple trial of so sort. I'm stuck having to go to the orphanage nine tis."
"I don't really get the latter part, but that first half was surprising. That Casis finally tripped over himself huh."
"Also, the vice temple head declared that they wouldn't force Eda into priesthood while in the presence of the temple head."
"...What?"
"I already knew that Eda was capable of ."
"Eh?"
"With her , Eda saved who was hit by a curse. That had a hint of in it."
"So that happened huh."
"Reason why I didn't let Eda use at the temple."
"I see."
"In any case, I've taken upon myself to protect Eda for as long as she's under my wings as a pupil. No matter what the temples or nobles are going to do, I shall keep Eda safe. If anyone tried to take her by force, I'll fight them. That's all."
"You're... really strong. If only father had even half your strength..."
"Hum?"
"It's nothing. Right. No point in stressing over sothing that hasn't happened. We've gotta do all we can do today. Alright! Lecan. Eda. Ti to get to work."
"Got it."
"Yes."
Jinga was standing by the door.
Under his elegant mustache, his mouth was sternly clenching.
The second house call was at a luxurious house. But they had no family na, they weren't a noble family.
The patient was an elderly woman, she was skinny with an ill-looking yellowed face, she couldn't even get up in her bed.
An abnormality in her spine and a disease attacking her entrails are said to have caused this.
Norma thoroughly explained to Lecan how the problematic entrails should have worked originally, and what kind of abnormalities presently taking place.
While morizing Norma's explanations, Lecan cast three extrely weak over a period of ti. Co to think of it, Shira ntioned that the effects of are reliant on the caster's mana and the recipient's life force, if you cast a strong mana-filled that depletes the recipient's life force, successive will give no effects. As such, the best kind of for those with weakened life forces is a careful loaded with only the exact amount of required mana.
By the third the patient's complexion had visibly changed for the better, she could even get up. It was a dramatic recovery that made even the attending maids cried in joy.
The family prepared their lunch while they were doing treatnt, and they decided to take up on the offer. Norma was planning to eat at street stalls. Lecan actually had a lunchbox Eda made, he decided to save it for dinner.
"Lecan. Are you aware of the difference between red potions and ?"
"Red potions have fixed effects for each of its respective size, naly Large, dium, Small. While effects of depend on mana put on it by the caster, and the recipient's life forces."
"Whoa now, this is a surprise. Looks like Shira-san is truly serious in drilling you with knowledge. No wait, I guess it only makes sense. I an, you're the sole pupil Shira-san has ever admitted after all."
"As far as I know she had a few pupils before she arrived at this city."
"Hou. Is that so. Sounds interesting, but let's not go there for now. Well then, Lecan. Do you know that there are cases where taking red potions make the taker suffer instead?"
"What? No, I don't know that. Could sothing so outrageous be true."
"It's a very special case. And Prado-san was one of such cases."
"Hou."
"Let's assu that disease is a tree that grows in your body. The branches and leaves are symptoms. In other words, they're the pain, suffering, unmovable hands, blind eyes, holed entrails a patient suffer. The roots of the disease themselves are hidden to naked eyes."
"Umu."
"Red potions will erase those branches and leaves instantly. By way of a mysterious phenonon that simply has no explanations. However, depending on the degree of red potion's effectiveness, it may not be enough to erase all the nurous branches and leaves present."
"I get it now."
"Red potions don't work at all on the roots. But if all the branches and leaves are cut down, the roots will naturally wither by itself. Or perhaps it loses the power to grow new branches and leaves. And even if it remains, so long as it can only grow tiny branches, it's virtually the sa as having been cured of the disease."
"Yeah."
"Yet if the roots are strong, erasing all the branches and leaves does nothing but delaying another growth."
"And that's the case with Prado?"
"No, that's not it. Don't rush it now. Anyway, just rember that even if soone looks like they have been freed of all symptoms, they may still experience a relapse so long as the roots remain. But in such cases, there is a period of repose until the symptoms strike back, affording the patient enough ti to regain their strength and fight back."
"I see."
"Now then, from here on is a hypothesis of mine. It hasn't been proven yet, and I'm still trying to form an analysis myself, so it may not be reliable. When a body has grown exhausted fighting a disease, there may be cases when the condition of being ill gets treated as 'normal'. I call this ."
"Hum? I don't get it."
"Diseases are an invading force. They attack, tornt and make your body suffer. Then it surrenders. Like,
