(Kaoru) 「I am a healing sage from another kingdom. I have given potions even to royalties.」
When I said so to the gatekeepers, they let me enter politely. Right now, I’m wearing a shady mask for my disguise.


is this okay to take a suspicious person in so easily!?
When I asked so.
(Gatekeeper) 「If something happens, it’s just yours and my head that will fly. It’s not a big deal compared to the chance that Charlot-sama can be healed.」
No, that is a 『big deal』! At least for me!


though, if the gatekeeper could say that far for him, I guess they’re good nobles, after all


It’s according to Emile and Bell’s investigation, huh

Well, of course, I don’t doubt Emile and Bell’s results.
And then, I was guided by one of the gatekeepers and went into the manor.
I don’t even need to say as it could be seen that this place is Baron Drivell’s royal residence. I have heard that the baron wished for a doctor or medicine regardless of the other party’s status and I have decided to go to him straight ahead. Of course, while in disguise.
I have changed the color of my hair, eyes and skin, and wear the jewelry that I used when I went to the party in Acyl-san’s place. I have thought that if they look at my jewelry, they will lose the impression of my other parts, hence it will be difficult for them to recognize 『me who doesn’t wear jewelry』 just like 『a girl who took off her glasses that she always wear』.


I’m a genius!
Also, if I’m wearing expensive jewelry, I could be seen that I don’t have any trouble with money, hence I don’t have anything to do with 『scamming the nobles』 and desperately risking my life. I also have to bide to their authority too, here.
And, for the finishing blow, this 『shady mask』.

with this, all of their authority and trust are now ruined.
(Drivell) 「So you’re a healing sage from another kingdom. Well then, do you have a Long-lived Red Soil?」
(Kaoru) 「No, I don’t have that, though?」
(Drivell) 「What did you say!?」
The Baron and the gatekeeper who is standing by next to me looked surprised.
Ah~, the gatekeeper is now in position where he can arrest me as soon as I make a suspicious move.
Even if you are a baron, which is a lower-class aristocrat, as the head of the household itself, there will still be someone who holds a resentment or wants to have a relationship with interests even if the said person is not in the midst of political conflict or having a grudge. Thus, they won’t take such needless risks. No matter how powerless I looked, there is still a possibility that I have concealed weapons or poisons.
To begin with, I am a self-proclaimed healing sage, hence they would think that it is natural that I have some poisons with me.
(Kaoru) 「What I could prepare is not that kind of medicine. It’s a medicine that is more effective than that.」
(Drivell) 「W-what!? It’s more effective than Long-lived Red Soil, you said!? There shouldn’t be such thing

, no wait, I have heard rumors that there’s such medicine in a distant kingdom, but it’s impossible to bring it as it’s too far and might not last a long time


In addition, they also said that the medicine has been out of production for some time, and it is said that the healing sage who made it has died and the preparation method is lost

」
Arya~, this kingdom is quite far from Balmore Kingdom so my potions should not have been marketed in this kingdom as of yet, but he knows quite exactly what my potion is. If he is a baron, then the information shouldn’t be that easy to get as it’s limited to the upper-class, right

?
Even if I talk about this, it will only be a waste of time. Besides, if they don’t believe me, they don’t have to drink the potions. If it’s rejected, all I have to say is 『It seems there’s no chance for it this time

』.


Francette might be a little disappointed, but it can’t be helped. Apart from that, there is no need to force them to drink, and I don’t intend to look into troubles with those who don’t believe me if I said 『the believer will be saved』. Therefore


Hyoi~!
I swung out a bottle from my pocket and caught it.
(Kaoru) 「Here, it’s a remedy, the 『Goddess’ Tears』」
Yes, this is not the commonly distributed potion that was marketed in Balmore Kingdom, but instead it’s the 『Goddess’ Tears』 which is specially made by Angel-sama and was distributed behind the scenes.
After all, I am not 『Kaoru the shop owner』 but 『Angel-sama』.
(Drivell & Gatekeeper) 「「Eh?」」
The Baron and the gatekeeper opened their eyes wide.
(Drivell) 「Wha
..」
And it seems that Baron Drivell can’t even say a single word.
(Kaoru) 「No, like I said, this is the remedy, the 『Goddess’s Tears』. If you don’t need it, I’ll put it back and leave

 Ah, because the remedy cannot be preserved, if I you don’t drink it quickly, it won’t work.」
After the Baron hesitated for a while.
(Drivell) 「

This way!」
I was guided to a place that looks like a children’s room by the Baron. There lies a 10-year-old boy on the bed.
(Drivell) 「Charlot, this is a new medicine, drink it!」
Baron Drivell let his son drink the 『Goddess’ Tears』 which was received from me. His hand seems to be shaking a little while looking desperate as to not let the 『Goddess’ Tears』 spilled even one bit. Well, even if it spilled a little, there won’t be problem at all, though.
The boy doesn’t seem to be asleep, hence the father raised his body and put the potion bottle into his mouth and let him drink the contents of it.
If I think about it, I didn’t question about how the nobles would let their important son drink a medicine offered by an unknown child with no doubt at all. Even when it was in the royal capital of Balmore Kingdom where the angel was well-known


They are probably being driven to a wall or thinking 『if this is a lie, I will take care of you here!』.
Well, he might judged that nobody would make such tomfoolery as it seems that even children could understand what would happen. After all, if he already knew about 『Goddess’ Tears』, he should have known about its immediate effect as well.
And then
.
(Charlot) 「Father, I feel like my body has now become easy to move

」
(Drivell) 「R-really!? The fever! How’s your fever!?」
He wanted to shout in rejoice. However, the baron was afraid if it was just a premature joy and desperately tried to kill his emotions. And the baron constantly changes his expression as this miracle is still unbelievable for him.
(Charlot) 「My dizziness and fever seems to have also gone now

」
After the baron put his hand on his son’s, uhh, Charlot-kun’s forehead, looked into his eyes, put out his tongue, and so on, he finally understood that his son’s illness has been cured.
It may not have been an incurable illness or intractable disease

if it’s in the perspective of modern Japan, that is.
However, even if the disease can be cured easily with a single injection or rather without the need of medicines nor nutrition, humans can still die easily in this world’s civilization level. Especially for young children.
Thus, we can’t be sure about what the child’s sickness is and whether it will heal naturally even if we left it alone. But for this Baron, I will probably be nothing else besides a 『Goddess’ angel who saved his son’s life』.
And the Baron, who seems to have suddenly realized something, turned to me and kneeled. Of course, that’s not what the nobles usually do for a mere healing sage.
Perhaps, rather than believing in the existence of a 『12-year-old healing sage who miraculously brought a God’s medicine which should have a very short expiration date, she then gave it easily without price negotiations』, it would have been more realistic to believe in the existence of 『The Goddess’ Angel』. For the Baron’s common sense, that is


Yeah, I would also think so.
(Drivell) 「I’m very thankful of Angel-sama for saving my son, Charlot’s life

」
Huh? He suddenly decided with 『Angel-sama』 even without confirming it first? Don’t tell me
..
(Kaoru) 「Umm, do you know me?」
(Drivell) 「Yes, I already knew it when I was searching for medicines for my son in various ways. There are rumors spread in Balmore Kingdom and its surrounding kingdoms for several years about miracle drug called 『Potion』, and they said that the one who is behind its production and distribution was the existence of a single girl with a sharp gaze and menacing look

which could make children cry

.
There’s also a rumor that the one who is behind the defeat of Arigo Empire, the miraculous restoration of the ruined Holy State of Rueda four years ago, and the one who did a private talk with Celestine-sama after she descended, was said to be a girl who has a menacing loo-

intense look.
The secret organization, 『Goddess’ Eyes』 which runs behind the scene and gives salvation to the righteous people according to the angel herself.
I’m just a poor low-class aristocrat, Baron, but I was desperate to save my child even if it’s a distant place from one’s kingdom and the whole story could not be understood completely as it only circulates around high-ranked nobles. So, with that much information

」


Geez, that’s enough! You don’t have to try to avoid the word 『menacing』 that hard!
It’s rather uncomfortable if you are too careful about it!!


Damn it.
