Chapter 343: 343 - - 11-45 Meeting

Meanwhile, back in time, Jin said.

"......Then let's do it that way. You'll take care of the preparations, right?"

Jin, who had been discussing with the old man on how to deal with the situation, gave some instructions to the old man, made preparations, and returned to the village of Kaina without seeing Reiko's departure, though his hair was still on the back burner.

First of all, he went to the office of Nido Castle and ordered Butler B to bring Licia and Pascoe, who were supposed to be at the workshop, here.

"Behle, get the tea ready. Barrow, prepare two chairs.

"Yes."

"Yes, sir."

The office is not a Japanese-style room but a Western-style room. It's wooden, with a desk and chairs.

Behrle prepares a cup of tea, thinking that it will be a long conversation. No tea is served since it is expected to be a serious conversation.

As Jin was reviewing the procedure again in his mind, Licia and Pascoe came in, escorted by Butler B. "I'm sorry to call you.

I'm sorry to call you here, but it's an emergency. But it's an emergency."

Jin suddenly started, and Pascoe, who was about to say something, kept his mouth shut.

He first suggested a chair and then offered them some tea made by Behle. All three of them took a sip of the tea and when they had calmed down for the time being, Jin suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"I heard that Count Walter is dead.

"What?

Neither Licia nor Pascoe burst out, as they had just finished their tea.

"......The following is the message that arrived just now."

Jin put the letter he had ordered the old man to make on the desk and showed it to her.

The date is this morning. Symptoms start with weakness, fever, and general aches and pains. The last one is ......."

Licia's face was pale. She did not feel any pain in her body, but she did remember feeling weak and having a fever.

"The bad news is that it seems to be contagious, and the source of the infection is pigeons."

"...... I was carrying a pigeon?

Licia, who had gone completely blue, barely managed to say anything else. She must have thought that she had caused Count Walter's death. She looked as if she was about to collapse. Jin saw this and followed up.

"Miss Licia, it was Count Walter who infected your pigeons with this disease.

"What?

To be precise, it was Count Walter and his men who infected your pigeons.

......What do you mean?

Jin then told us that the Count was unhappy that the village of Kaina had been cut off as a leasehold estate. He had been harassing them by buying up all the salt.

In this article, I briefly explained that he tried to spread the disease by taking advantage of Lycia's coming to the village of Kaina.

"This is ridiculous!　Did the Count do such a thing?　Hey, you!　Do you have proof?　If not, it's a slander, isn't it?

Contrary to Licia, who was lost in thought, Pascoe was furious and stormed at Jin.

Of course, we have already anticipated such a situation.

"Proof. First of all, the Count, who was at the root of the illness, died this morning. Then, upon closer examination, all the maidservants and butlers working at the house are complaining of weakness. Some of them are said to be suffering from fever.

When Jin said this in a plain tone of voice, Pascoe was a little at a loss for words,

"But that doesn't mean we can rule out the Count as the culprit!

Pascoe retorts. After that, he realized the big question.

"......Hey, you're talking nonsense!　What time do you think it is?　No matter how fast the pigeons are, they couldn't have informed us this fast!　Who is it that has come to inform us of the Countess's business in the first place?

But Jin and the old man had expected that too.

"Read the letter."

With these words, he gave Pascoe the letter on the desk. Pascoe snatched it up and took it in his hand and read it through as if devouring it.

"......The contents of the letter are right ......and the sender is ......deus ex machina?　......I'm sure I've heard that name somewhere ......."

But Licia immediately thought of the name,

"Jin-san!　Are you acquainted with someone called deus ex machina?

she asked hurriedly.

This was expected. After all, when he returned Licia's sword, he had said that Machina had given it to him.

"I don't know her well enough to say I know her. I don't know him well enough to say I know him, but I've seen him a few times. ......Oh, I can't tell you much about him because I'm not allowed to talk about him."

I'll just say that it's a fine line of acquaintance. Later, when the leaders of the Kingdom of Klein learn of this, the Prime Minister and others will have even more trouble dealing with Jin.

"I see. ......"

The Kingdom of Klein and the Kingdom of Franz, and the Kingdom of Cerroa and the Kingdom of Egelea. Everyone who participated in the last war, manipulated by the Unifilers, knows that it was ended halfway by a mysterious person calling himself Deus ex Machina. The name was Asunto, the capital of the Kingdom of Egelea, but the information was also conveyed to the Kingdom of Klein by means of the Manaphone.

"......I see, the information from that person ...... then that makes it more credible."

Reluctantly, Pascoe relented. Jin took this opportunity to try to persuade him.

"...... So, you see, the most important thing now is not about the culprit."

Jin changes his tone and speaks to Licia. The reason he pointed out the culprit is to make Licia feel less guilty.

"...... understand. It's about controlling the spread of the disease, isn't it?

Licia, who had calmed down a little and become calm, understood what Jin was trying to say.

"Yes. The letter also says that at the moment, deus ex machina is also looking into the disease. ...... Licia, what do you think is the best way forward?"

Jin asked her what she thought should be done, hoping that Licia, who had been in the rescue knight corps, would have some opinions.

Licia thought for a while and then opened her mouth.

Of course, the most important thing is to eliminate the disease. The only way to do that is to go back along the same path we have been on, and to examine and treat the patients.

Licia's face did not clear up as she said this. The reason for this becomes clear in her next words.

"But the most dangerous thing is Lakham, isn't it? It has been a long time since he was infected.

According to the information obtained from Anne and Elena, the incubation period is between two and five days. With the death of Count Walter, we should assume that those in the house are in imminent danger as well. The inhabitants of Lapham may have a little longer to wait.

"And I don't know what the cure is..."

Jin then asks Licia a question.

"What kind of healing magic can you use, Licia?

"I can use <> and <>.

Both are surgical healing magic.

"......I'm sorry, I can't cure diseases."

Licia sagged as she said this. But she had expected this in the meeting with the old man.

"That's all right. Here is a magi-crystal that contains the magic of Medicare. If you put the magic power of activation into it, Medicare will be activated.

Jin took out two Magi Crystals from his breast pocket and put them on the desk.

"What?　Huh?"

It is true that there are magical tools with the magical formula for activating magic engraved on them. However, I wonder if they can come out of your pocket so easily......, Licia was stunned for a moment.

"So, we should probably hear something from the deus ex machina by tomorrow morning. Based on that information, we will decide on a final course of action.

Thus, the meeting proceeded as the meeting with the old man had been going.

About halfway through the meeting, the three of us took a break and drank a cup of tea that had become a little lukewarm.

"......, Jin-san knew Makina-san after all, didn't he? I've been wanting to ask you ever since the sword came back.

"Yes, well. He doesn't like to be tied up, so he doesn't appear in public very often.

"Actually, I was wondering if Jin-san was Machina-san.

He is quite perceptive ......, or perhaps it would be better to say that it would be crazy not to think so.

"............"

Licia smiled at the silent Jin.

"No, Jin-san, it doesn't matter whether you are Makina-san or not. The best thing for now is to prevent the disease from spreading."

"That's right. For that to happen, we need to get the Kingdom's aristocrats, Ms. Licia and Mr. Pascoe, to take action.

At this point, Pascoe finally opened his mouth. He seemed to have come to terms with what was smoldering inside him.

"...... Jin-dono, I promise to do my best. But I'm not convinced that the Count is the source of all this.

Jin said that was fine. What we need now is to prevent the disease.

"So, what are you going to do, Jin-dono?　You're not going to stay here and stay still, are you?"

Pascoe glares at me. Well, it's not very impressive when he glares at me with the corners of his eyes drooped.

"I'll get you some medicine first," he says.

Saying this, he took a recovery medicine from the shelf and put it on the desk.

"These are medicines with Medicare effects," he said. But we have a limited number of them and we need to make more.

Pascoe looked at the ampoule with interest, but Licia's face twitched.

"Jin, Jin-san, did you say that Medicare works?"

"Yes. What's wrong with that?

"It's not something!　It's a rare magic medicine!　In the kingdom, one bottle of this stuff costs a gold coin!

10,000 Tall, about 100,000 yen. A highly effective recovery potion is so precious. Neither Jin nor the old man had thought about its value.

But here comes the effect of reading the book of alchemy.

"That's because alchemy has not been developed yet. It is much easier to make it with the latest alchemy, Eschenbach's method.

This is a half-truth. As far as Jin had read, Tohr Eschenbach, an alchemist of the Shoro Empire, had speculated that <>. Jin was impressed when he read it.

"......So,what,......?"

Licia also backed down because of what Jin said. It is a good thing that there are plenty of medicines.
