Diving from a height of 10 meters can cause damage and in the worst case, even death, if not done properly.
Rodrigo was no exception, hitting the water and passing out.
"......I know how you feel, but it's a pain in the ass. ......"
He should have lost a little more altitude before he fell.
Rodrigo did not have any knowledge of high diving, and he was genuinely concerned about his daughter, so I guess it was inevitable.
Anyway, Jin checks on them as they drop further down in altitude.
< and Rodrigo floating on the sea.
Both of them seem to be unconscious. Marcia, in particular, appears to have a serious injury on her right thigh, her face is bloodless, and she looks dangerous.
Reiko, help them up this way.
"Yes, sir."
Reiko, who had a force generator, was able to carry them into the gondola without any danger.
"I think Rodrigo is just knocked out. More importantly, it's Marcia."
The laceration on the right thigh seems to have stopped bleeding, but the long immersion in the water, even with the warm currents, seems to have caused hypothermia.
"......Maybe we should just do first aid and let Erza take care of it."
Erza, who had been trained by the famous healer Sally Mireshan in addition to the knowledge from Jin, now surpassed Jin in the field of healing.
So Jin sterilized her with sterilization and closed the wound with recovery as a first aid measure.
"Arrow, you did a good job.
Jin praised Arrow with open arms. He had found Marcia before anyone else on Horaijima.
"We'll take care of Marcia here. Tell the people in the store not to worry."
Jin tells Arrow to return as well. He also reminds them not to worry about Jeremy and Bacchus.
"Okay, Mr. Creator," he says.
"All right, let's go home as fast as we can."
The airship gains altitude. The airship starts to run.
"Let's use the force field generator too."
Fortunately, with Rodrigo knocked out, the airship can reach its maximum speed.
We also use the wind shielding to reach a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, which is beyond the safe limit. This allows him to fly the 60 kilometers from the distress site to the city of Potrock in less than 20 minutes.
Once land is in sight, the speed is reduced to about 30 kilometers per hour, and the plane lands in the courtyard of the guest house.
Guards, clerks, and maids of honor gathered in the crowd.
Among them were Reinhardt and Elsa. Judging by the time of day, they must have finished their official duties by now.
"Erza!"
Jin called Erza as soon as they landed.
"Jin-brother ...... the person in distress is ...... Marcia-san!"
"Yes. We'll talk more about it later. I need you to take a look at him right away.
I'll tell you more about it later. <
I'll take a look at him first.
"...... arteries are intact. But his pulse is low. Body temperature is low. I would consider heavy bleeding, mild hypothermia, and the onset of hyperkalemia."
Hyperkalemia can be caused by several factors, but in this case it appears to be due to the effects of hypothermia and the leaching of intracellular potassium into the blood due to the severe injury.
Symptoms include arrhythmia and muscle weakness.
We need to get him some medical attention as soon as possible."
"Okay. ......, please give us the room to treat him."
Reinhardt made a request to the officer present. The request was quickly acceded to and Marcia and Rodrigo were brought into the building.
"First of all, you need to warm yourself.
After saying these words, Elsa put her hand on Marcia's body and used her own healing magic.
"<>"
With this, Elsa warmed Marcia's body as a whole.
Elsa prepared a sucking cup for Marcia to drink from Horaijima, which had been prepared for emergency use, in order to replenish the water she had lost due to the blood loss.
Since there was nothing suitable, I asked him to prepare a lump of silver and formed a sucking cup by <>. We filled it with warmed Persian juice and gave it to Marcia to drink a little at a time.
This is to replenish water and nutrients and at the same time warm the body from the inside.
After these procedures, Elsa performs a healing spell.
<>"
This is the highest level of internal healing magic. This restores the functions of the internal organs weakened by the low temperature. As one would expect, the lost blood does not suddenly return, but Marcia's blood color has visibly improved nonetheless.
"<>"
After treatment for hypothermia, a detailed examination of the laceration on the right thigh is performed.
"...... It's ok. As I said before, no major blood vessels or nerves are damaged. Brother Jin's first aid was also appropriate."
"That's good to hear."
Jin, who had given first aid, was also relieved.
After checking the wounds, Erza applied a healing spell.
"<>.
It is an intermediate level surgical magic. The reason why she used intermediate level magic is that the wound was too large, and if it was healed all at once, it might leave a scar or prolong the pain due to the misalignment of the adhesion points.
Therefore, Elsa repeats the healing process while checking the healing of the wound. This is a very considerate and careful care for Marcia, who is a woman.
"<>...... now, you will be fine."
The wound healed beautifully, leaving no scar.
Marcia's sleeping face became peaceful, although she had not regained consciousness yet, probably because she was free from the pain of her wounds.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo, who had fainted after diving into the water, was still unconscious.
"<>......!"
After examining him, Elsa was surprised.
"...... subluxation of the lumbar vertebrae, cracked ribs......"
"What?
The injury was more severe than she had expected.
"Probably from the impact of being slammed into the water. Fainting is concussion. ...... There seems to be no brain damage, so I'm sure they'll figure it out soon. "
"......I'm so relieved."
Jin sighed now that more people had been injured.
"Jin, thank you for your hard work.
"Ah, Erza, thank you too."
Then Reinhardt came in.
"Well, it looks like you're all fixed up. I just reported to the Marquis. The Marquis has graciously offered me this room for my stay.
"That's very kind of you."
Meanwhile, Rodrigo seems to have woken up from his stupor.
"U...... mal...... shea......"
He is a good father to worry about his daughter first and foremost.
"Mr. Rodrigo, you are reckless. You hurt your back and cracked your ribs, didn't you?"
Rodrigo scratched his head in horror as he got up from the bed.
"No, I'm sorry. I was just a little upset when I saw my daughter. ......And how is she?"
"She's fine. She's all fixed up and she's sleeping next to me."
"What?
I turned in the opposite direction from Jin and the others and there she was, my daughter.
"Ma......"
Rodrigo swallows his words as he realizes just before he shouts out.
(......Lucia......)
He gets out of bed and stares at her sleeping face.
There were big tears in his eyes.
"He will wake up soon, I think. Until then, please watch over her gently.
Erza said and pushed Jin and Reinhardt out of the room.
"Marcia ......"
Rodrigo, the only one left, gazed at the sleeping face of the daughter he had dreamed of and wept silently.
