Chapter 210 - Disinfection.

"Hey, Mimu. Are you here?"

"What's the matter, Ars-shii? I thought you moved to Fontana City, but you seem to be coming back here often."

"There you are. I'm here on some business, but I wanted to ask you something."

"Hmm. What is it? Is there something you don't understand about the antidotes?"

"No, that's another question I'd like to ask you, but this is a different matter. Mimu, have you ever heard of disinfection?"

"...... Disinfection? No, I haven't, my comrade. What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

　Come on, seriously?

　This doctor who makes antidotes just said that.

　This world's medical experts don't seem to have any concept of disinfection.

　But this doesn't mean that these doctors are too low-level to even think about disinfecting.

　Rather, it's the opposite.

　There is no need for disinfection in this world.

　According to the knowledge I gained from my previous life, cities were very dirty in the Middle Ages.

　Cities used to dump peoples' excrement all over the place, so people smelled very bad in their daily lives.

　Furthermore, it could be the cause of human death.

　In the Middle Ages, diseases spread due to unsanitary conditions, and many people lost their lives to such diseases.

　However, this is not the case in this world.

　The reason for this was the Life Magic given by the church.

　When any person reaches a certain age after birth, they are baptized by the church and given Life Magic.

　This is a system for the church to gather mana using the parent-child relationship that is created, but it is also a great benefit to the locals. [Lighting], [Ignition], [Water], and other things that are like living infrastructure in themselves are given as Life Magic.

　However, there was one thing that was actually the most effective among them all.

　That was the spell called [Wash].

　If you use [Wash], you can get clean in an instant.

　People use [Wash] to wash dishes and to clean houses.

　It doesn't mean that you have to wash with water as the spell's name implies, but it is a spell that removes dirt, so nothing actually gets wet because of water.

　It is a spell that can be applied to all kinds of things.

　Because of this magic of [Wash], there was no custom of taking baths in this world.

　People who saw me heating water and soaking in the bathtub treated me like a weirdo without exception.

　Another practice that disappeared because of [Wash] was disinfection.

　There was no need to disinfect the human body when using a blade for treatment.

　If the body is [Washed], the dirt is gone.

　I don't know if it actually eliminates germs, but it definitely removes mud and blood, so everyone just uses that spell instead of actually disinfecting the wound, person, or blade.

"So, what are you trying to say, comrade? Are you saying that you don't like the fact that [Wash] is being used instead of this 'disinfection' you speak of?"

"That's not it. No, I wanted to ask you if you don't use alcohol to clean the wounds when you say you don't need to disinfect them."

"Eh? Use alcohol to clean wounds? Rather than drinking, just use [Wash]. It would be better."

"I knew it. You've never seen potent alcohol before?"

" ....... I've never heard of anything with a particularly high alcohol content. Some types may be stronger than others, but ....... I don't drink alcohol because I think it's bad for me."

"No, that's enough. That's all I need to hear, Mimu. This is good enough. I've got something new to make money with."

　I'm still a kid and I don't drink, but Carlos showed me what he was drinking the other day at the spa, which seemed to be made from wheat as well as fruit.

　However, the drink was low in alcohol content.

　I was curious, so I asked Carlos what other kinds of alcohol were available.

　After all, he is the Head of a noble family that unites many knights.

　In the castle where Carlos lives, there are many kinds of liquor.

　However, I felt that none of the liquors he had mentioned seemed to be that strong.

　I wondered why and arrived at the aforementioned existence of Life Magic.

　The spell [Water] means that there is no need to worry about drinking water.

　Therefore, liquor that can be stored for a long period of time is completely a luxury item.

　And the idea of raising the alcohol content to disinfect was not created using magic, unlike in my previous life.

　If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?

　Let's make a distiller.

　By heating the liquor and cooling the vapor appropriately, it should be possible to produce a high concentration of alcohol.

　By repeating this process over and over again, we should be able to raise the alcohol to a level that would make it unfit for drinking.

　However, I am not sure if it is necessary for disinfection.

　In the meantime, I'll try to make something with a higher alcohol content as a luxury item.

　Thus, I moved from Mimu's place to Gran's and instructed him to make a distiller that day.

　This led to the appearance in Barca that winter of liquor of a higher strength, which had not been common before.

CadmarLegend This chapter was a bit fast-paced. The main idea was that Ars asked Mimu if he'd ever disinfected anything, got a negative response, realized it was because of the Life Magic [Wash], and then realized that using alcohol to treat wounds hadn't become a method of healing yet. That also meant that alcohol that had high concentration (like many that we have in real life right now) hadn't been created. So, he decided on creating potent alcohol to sell... as a way to make more money...
