Chapter 191: CH.190 A sick day

“Mr. Brain. Wake up please.” I woke up to someone slightly shaking me.

I opened my eyes. The room was dimly lit by a lantern, which had been placed on my bedside table. The lantern didn’t have a candle, but a small magic stone. It still looked like a classic lantern, like the ones with the oil basin and a small wick that you light on fire, instead of the more modern LED lanterns.

The person waking me up was one of the maids of this manor. I don’t really know them, but I think she is one of the maids that usually come to wake Ria up. Usually… More like I saw her doing it once.

 

“... good morning.” I greeted her. “What’s up?” I asked that as usually the maids don’t wake me up. They only wake Ria up and then Ria would wake me after she has had her breakfast. Even if it isn’t actually her waking me up, but instead pulling me to this world from the factory.

“Rhianna seems to be running a fever, so I thought I should wake you up as well.” The maid said.

“Eh?”

 

I quickly sat up on the bed and flicked on the light. … no. You don’t flick on the lights in this world. You just pass a bit of mana into the control panel and the lights go on. It’s much closer to a touch panel than a classic light switch. 

It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust, considering that I just switched on all the lights in the room. After my vision adjusted, I looked towards the bedding that Ria was sleeping on. Well, she wasn’t actually asleep anymore.

 

“...good morning…” She said quietly.

“Morning.” I said back.

The usually pale Ria was quite red. She definitely looked like she was running a fever. 

I placed my hand on her forehead and it was warm. Not hot, but just warm. But considering that dhampir's body temp is just a bit lower than a human normally, this might be a more intense fever than this would lead me to think.

 

“How are you feeling?” I asked.

“... hot. But also cold.” She answered.

“I see…” So classic sickness symptoms. Perhaps she is just sick.

(Laura, you there?)

(In the factory with Maria. She has better information on dhampirs, considering her host, so I’m talking with her about the potential cause.) Laura answered. Her voice seemed a bit faster than usual. Like someone had ramped up the replay speed in a video. I guess the time dilation between this world and the factory will do that.

 

(Okay. Here again. Let’s check her out.) Laura said. I didn’t actually feel a difference, but I heard it. Her voice was back to its usual speed.

(What do you need me to do?)

(Just put one of your hands on her forehead and the other on her stomach. We’ll pass some mana through her.)

(Sure.)

 

“Ria, I’ll examine you quickly. I’ll have to clear the blanket and your nightgown for that.” I warned her.

“... mhm…” She said something that sounded like permission.

I placed my hands on her like Laura instructed and let Laura take full control of my mana. I still felt it move, but I didn’t try to restrict its movement at all.

 

(At least it doesn’t seem to be any of the major illnesses that Maria warned me about.) Laura said.

(Well, that’s good. Any ideas what it is?)

(A few. Open her status for me.)

 

I did as instructed and immediately spotted the outlier.
