Year 7444, Month 6, Day 20
This will end up being used even if you leave the room partway through. It's one of the limitations to the spell that can't be helped. I'm very sorry but I recommend you make effective use of the time. Furthermore, since this time is the first use, for the last few minutes you'll be forced to listen to my conversation. I'm sorry. Well then, the next confirmation. Is the reason you came to this place for my instruction? Or is it because you had something that you wanted to confirm?"
"Instruction."
The image stopped for another 1 second or so and then started moving again.
"I understand. It's fine for you to speak freely after this. Also, I don't think it will stop anymore."
First off there's the things that need to be taken care of. This is the start right.
"In order to increase the edible mushroom production and the required tunnel expansions for that, one of the elders was planning to secure manual labor through moving members of the warrior class. It's the current warrior inspector general, elder Yoretto. I think that the objective itself is acceptable but there's also the opinion that it's too impatient as well and I agree with that. How should we persuade them to calmly settle things?"
"With just that it's a bit difficult to understand. What's the date right now?"
"Year 7444, Month 6, Day 20."
"..I'm sorry. The details that I instructed the elders on Month 5, Day 28 might have been misunderstood...Let's do it like this.."
While listening to Lilus's words, Miduchi(thank goodness, it wasn't her throwing it all on to me) let out a sigh of relief.
Just like that after she received all of the necessary instructions, the image of Lilus asked Miduchi.
"Is the anku currently in your possession?"
Obviously she has it. Since she just stuck it to her forehead as she sung the Japanese national anthem after all..Come to think of it, different from the time at noon the anku didn't give off any light. Is it fine even if there's no anku in this room?
"I have it."
"That dark elf anku is the high grade spell medium for this spell. While you're inside of my bedroom like right now the level of freedom in conversation is higher but if you use that anku as a medium and sing the Japanese national anthem then this magical version of myself that I've prepared can be called out anywhere within Erurehei. As a matter of fact as long as they have the anku then anyone can do it so whenever you sing the Japanese national anthem please sing in a whisper within your mouth.
...............
If just as Lilus said she doesn't use it in any way that's too absurd then it should become a large power to her from here on out. By the way, I wonder if there's still time remaining? If there is time remaining then there's some things she'd definitely like to ask, no, she'd like to request.
"Umm..Is there a spell that can cure diseases?"
"It's not very well known but there is."
Hearing that Miduchi was so happy that she clapped her hands and jumped up.
"Can you use that spell in this condition?"
"I'm sorry. This is just a simple image so it can't use spells."
She was a bit disappointed but even then it was good. She was able to gain the information that there's definitely a spell to "cure diseases". It's huge just that she was able to identify that no matter how much time it takes from here on out it's possible she could use it. Tears started to well up in Miduchi's eyes.
"The spell {Cure Disease} requires all elemental magic skills at level 8 and void magic at level 9. However, even if you meet the level requirements it can only be said that acquiring it is extremely difficult. The first time you use it, it requires mental concentration for an extraordinarily long time. Of course there's some individual differences but I think that it would be in the denomination of several tens of hours."
This time she was considerably disappointed but..if it's that man then he should meet the requirements. There's no doubt he'll be able to do something about it.
"Thank goodness.."
She thought that she was able to resolve her second problem.
"Shiina-san, it's about time. I'm very sorry but I'm forcefully switching over to first time use mode...First of there's something I want to hand to you. Please take the bottle on that shelf. On the label it should have "Medicine(Disease use)" written in Japanese. It should be about half full with a powder."
Miduchi took the specified bottle from the specified shelf. Her chest was filled with expectations. Simultaneously she also felt a bit discontent. If something like this existed then why didn't she give it to me even sooner?
"On top of the desk there should be a pen and paper. If it's necessary then please take a memo of this. First off, just as is labeled that medicine can certainly show effect on any disease but the effects of it aren't very high. However, if you add some specific ingredients and mana to it then it's possible to increase the effectiveness of it considerably. It should be effective on your older brother's disease as well. I'll list off the ingredients now."
Hearing that while still holding the bottle she jumped at the desk. Unlike the shelves the desk was neatly organized and there were several pieces of thin high quality paper on top of each other and on the side was a pen and jar of ink as well. Obviously the pen was standing there. She pulled out the pen and dipped the end in the ink jar. From here on out she won't miss hearing even a single word.
"The charred tail of a black gecko, around 1 cm of the tip. {Shurika} fruit, about 5g of the center portion. A dried powder made of the liver of a {Scavenger Crawler}, about 3g. One eyeball stored in glass from a Human Vampire Lord.."
Just as Lilus says it Miduchi focused on writing down the details as if she was a machine.
"Eggs of the {Kuntokigaeru}, two of them. A powder made from the end of the tail of a {Wyvern}, about 0.1g. The yolk from the egg of a {Rock Viper}, one of them."
Miduchi's eyes were giving off a fiery sparkle. She's overflowing with motivation. No matter what she has to do she'll hunt them down.
"The baked hair of a human of the opposite sex of the patient, around 3 hairs of a length around 10 cm. A powder made from the nails of a gnome that's of the opposite sex of the patient, around 1g."
She flinched a bit at first but was relieved right away. She should be able to obtain it easily.
"The raw liver of a human of the same gender as the patient, about 10g."
What was that!?
"The living brain stem..of a baby born within one week of the same gender and race as the patient. About 2g."
It's hopeless. The pen stopped.
"Otherwise, the heart muscle of a dragon species. About 2g. If you mix all of those ingredients along with that medicine and a quantity of water equal to the empty bottle the medicine was inside, then once every 5 minutes knead an {Aid} type spell in well. It's completed once you can no longer target it with the spell {Light}. It should take about 20-30 minutes. After that, make 144 pills from it and please use magic to dry them. One per week, if you have the patient swallow them, roughly one month after they've swallowed the last one their disease should be completely cured."
She reprimands her trembling hand inside of her heart while somehow managing to finish writing it down but Miduchi felt all of the strength in her body was exhausted. Something like this, regardless of the circumstances there's no way she would receive it. Even if she has a large debt, let alone the completed product it doesn't even match up to the ingredients. When it comes to the raw liver since the {Cure} type spells exist, it's still possible to do something about it but something like sacrificing a dark elf baby just for the sake of curing her older brother's disease...Even more so something like a dragon is absurd.
The tears started overflowing ceaselessly.
"Shiina-san, No, Chizumagurol-san. I don't know what you're thinking right now. However, please don't abandon your hope. This will be the last but there's just one more thing I have to give you. On the side of this room there's a room called the {room of medication}. In the corner of that room there's a single sword that I used use when I was traveling. I offer that to you. Please treat it well as a partner. Now then, I think the next time we will be able to meet is after the mana has replenished over a fixed amount. It should take at least one year from now.
Year 7444, Month 6, Day 21
She picked it up including the scabbard carrying it in her left and left the basement of the royal palace.
She passed through the lobby and opened the doors leading to the front.
It wasn't just the elders that were already waiting but all of the head warriors and the head of the acquisition ranking Beindoru were included, she could see a total of 14 of them gathered directly outside of the royal palace grounds. Behind them was close to 100 onlookers gathered wondering what is going on. When Miduchi approached the gate of the plaster wall that surrounds the royal palace, she stood in the center of the gate before turning around to face the royal palace, then after placing the scimitar in her left hand on the ground she knelt in place. Seeing that Miduchi they all starting kneeling as well.
She took out her anku in both hands and placed it to her forehead before taking a respectful pose of prayer towards the royal palace and singing the "Japanese national anthem" just inside of her mouth.
