Vol 6: Chapter 3 (2)

When we returned to the inn, Kook-san and his friends were overjoyed to learn that Lark had recovered. They cheered and planned to throw a banquet, but

No. Im leaving town today.

Lark shut them down.

It will take too long, so I will explain it along the way.Lark said.

B-But you just met your brother again

So what? You dont wanna follow along?Lark asked.

Kook-san and his friends looked at each other.

Oh, you want us to follow you? We thought you would be traveling with your brother from now on or is he coming along too?

Dont be stupid. Reiji has things he needs to do. Hes a man now.

Well

So Are you coming or what?

Of course were coming!!

Their facial expressions turned bright and cheery.

Kook-san and the others must have thought that they no longer had a place in Larks life now that I, the younger brother, had appeared. I didnt realize they felt that way until this moment.

Im gonna explode in happiness! Lets throw a banquet!Kook-san exclaimed.

Idiot. Were leaving. Start packing!

Roger!

Kook-san and the others ran to their rooms. They were yelled at by the inns proprietress to not run in the hallways.

Alright, Im gonna get going.

Okay.

Take care, little brother. You tend to overdo it too.

Okay, Ill be careful.

Thats a good boy.

Lark smiled and tried to reach for my head, but then she stopped.

Youre not a little boy who needs head pats anymore.

So she stuck out her fist, and I bumped my fist onto hers.

See ya later.

See you.

Lark ran up the stairs. And the landlady yelled again.

It felt quite light-hearted for a farewell.

However, thats fine. It was a very Lark-like farewell.

We will be able to meet again.

Its time to go.

I left the inn with a much lighter heart than when I arrived.

**

She is healed??

A beautiful woman will remain beautiful no matter what kind of face she makes. Riviera-san had an utterly confused face when I reported that Lark had recovered.

I went to the church to meet up with Non-san. Riviera-san was also naturally there.

I didnt say that I had to destroy a 6-star skill orb.

Yes, the treatment method taught by the Sage was enough to restore Larks condition to normal.I said.

But even the Elfs elixir didnt have that much of an effect

Riviera-san had a doubtful look. But since I have no reason to lie, she believed me.

Alright, then. So can I stop Lark-sans treatment now?she asked.

Yes. Thank you very much.I bowed down.

Well, as for the cost of treatment

Im sorry. Can it wait for a while? Ill try to raise the money somehow

Is it expensive after all?

After giving most of my money to Lark, I realized I dont have a way to pay the treatment costs.

Riviera-san smiled bewitchingly as I scratched my head.

You dont have to worry There is a way that doesnt cost money.

Eh? There is such a thing? Is it some sort of voluntary service?

Indeed. But the service includes using your body to

Please stop that, Master

Non-san said with an astonished look.

This is a valuable treatment research, so I was told that the treatment wouldnt cost anything in the first place.Non-san said.

But what about the cost of medicine The cost of a precious Elf elixir

It was Reiji-kun who brought it here, right? You say it like it was yours

Mmm, youre a naughty disciple. But I was thinking of getting Reiji-kuns knowledge instead of his service.

Knowledge?

Is there knowledge that only I know of? To talk about the treatment method taught by the Sage will be impossible, though. I would inevitably have to talk about Larks 6-star skill orb.

As I have previously asked before, the method to cure petrification.Riviera-san said.

Aah I told her before that I cant reveal that.

Its dangerous because it uses Mithril.

Reiji-kun, there are more people who die from petrification than you can imagine. Until now, we could only cure minor injuries. But if we can cure it completely with the knowledge you possess, then

If its a method which uses a dangerous substance, then Ill announce that the cure was found in my name. Ill make sure that the cost of the medicine will only equal the cost of production, and that the church will not make any profit off of it. Is that not enough?

If this person is willing to go that far, then it cant be helped. And I am indebted to her for prolonging Larks life She came all the way to this town for Lark, after all.

Alright But you must definitely keep my name a secret, okay?

Of course, I always keep my promise with a boy.

What about your promise to your disciple?Non-san asked.

That promise is worthless, worthless.

A vein popped on Non-sans forehead. But I thought I could trust the friendly relationship between the two. Since Non-san trusts this person, I should be able to trust her too.

Thus, I talked about how I cured Dante-sans petrification.

Double maple (Leaf of Life Tree) where the tip of the leaf is like a maple but it is further divided into five at the tip. The white worm thingy. And Mithril.

Mixing the Leaf of Life Tree with Mithril, huh I wonder if its the Kinda Worm that mediates that.

Apparently, that worm is called the Kinda Worm.

Although it has been known as a kind of medicine for a long time, Kinda Worm was used after being dried. The idea of using it alive is quite interesting. How did you get the knowledge of this medicine? Is what I would like to know, but thats outside the topic of our conversation.

Yes.

I have no intention of talking about myWorld Ruler.

Non-sans face turned pale when she learned that I used Mithril to cure Dante-san.

Ara, Non. You dont have to make that face. Even if he had secretly obtained Mithril and used the most important metal managed by the country, there is no one who can judge him after all this time

M-Maybe, but is that why you disappeared that day, Reiji-kun?

Its one of the reasons.

How How can I ever repay you

As Non-sans was about to start crying, Riviera-san hugged her.

No need to cry. Reiji-kun did it because he wanted you to be happy. You too should participate in the research of the petrification antidote and save a lot of people. That would be how you repay him.

I nodded in response. I thought it was true.

Then this is the end of this problem.

Riviera-san clapped her hands. And Non-san wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

Well the next problem is more serious.Riviera-san said.

Yes. Its not just the petrification antidote, theres another reason why Im here.

The story of the world collapsing is just something unbelievable. Because unlike the healing of petrification, there is no other precedent to it.

I suppose thats right. It is unbelievable.

But you see Once I reported it via long-distance communication, the Cardinal responded. Do you understand? The Cardinal himself. The direct advisor to the Pope.

A big-shot among big-shots.

It wasnt just me who straightened my back unconsciously, but Non-san as well.

Lets go see him. This kind of thing cant be conveyed with words alone, so its better for involved parties to talk directly~.

Riviera-san said with ease, as if were just going for a short walk.
