I gently shake Klein-kun awake so as not to startle him.
Of course, he wasnât in good health, so I couldnât wake him harshly, he slowly opened his eyes.
âBrother-sama, Iâm here to heal you!â
â âŠâŠ..hmm. âŠâŠ. Mizzet? Mizzet why are you here? And, you areâŠ?â
While the young girl was cheerfully chatting with her brother, Klein alternately looked at Mizzet and me in the bedroom with a confused look on his face.
When I cast a recovery spell in the evening and gave him temporary treatment, Kleinâs condition was so bad that he hadnât woken up, and he didnât seem to remember me.
It canât be helped.
âGreetings, Lord Klein, I was asked by your grandfather, the former Earl Wilson Galhardt, to come and treat you as a priest. It was intended that the treatment would take place tomorrow at noon, but⊠Miss Mizzet has urged meâŠ. â
âWhat the hell! Are you trying to say itâs my fault? Itâs my fault? â
Since I felt that even if I suddenly said I would treat him, he wouldnât accept it, I first used Mizzet as a shield and told the situation that I had been forcibly brought into. Probably this young girl had always been a tomboy, and since she knew how to reach the bedroom without being noticed by anyone, she would occasionally visit her brother without permission like this anyway.
Of course, she wouldnât come often, but she would probably take action as soon as she wanted of it.
âAh, so thatâs how it isâŠâŠ.. Sister, youâre causing trouble again.â
âNo, brother-sama, I didnât cause any trouble, itâs a necessary thing.â
âFine, itâs fine for Mizzet to keep her own style today.â
Klein smiled as if he had given up, and stroked his sister headâs with pleasure.
It seems that my prediction was indeed correct, and itâs not the first time that the young girl has taken such action.
At the mention of his sister, Klein accepted my explanation.
âWell, since thatâs the case, let me give you a simple treatment to convince the young lady for now.â
âNice to meet you. However, you look about my age, but you can already use recovery magic. Thatâs amazing. Itâs worthy of a priest that grandpa brought.â
He seems to think that Iâll use recovery magic next, but thatâs not the case. After all, it was confirmed from the beginning that recovery magic is not an effective treatment for viral diseases.
From the point of view of people in this era, due to lack of knowledge, they only cast recovery magic to maintain his strength and wait for the disease to heal naturally, but I have cold medicine I bought from Earth.
I donât know how effective it is on people from another world, but from the looks of the symptoms, I think itâs just a cold, soas long as he take some medicine and sleep, heâll recover soon.
By the way, for the weak body who didnât eat much because of the lack of appetite, I planned to let him eat.
âPlease eat this.â
â âŠâŠâŠ. â
âThis is the food and secret medicine I brought with me. From what I, the priest, have seen, the recovery magic doesnât seem to have much effect on Lord Kleinâs illness. Thatâs why I decided to go in a different direction to treat it this time.â
âOh, something like the Healing Potion that the alchemists brought with them?â
âExactly.â
Itâs completely different, but I donât think the people of this world would understand even if I explained it in detail, so I decided to start by taking advantage of the misconception that Klein thinks the cold medicine is a kin of healing potion.
I pretend to nod my head in a forced manner and hand him peeling off the plastic wrapping of rice balls and natural water, as well as the cold medicine.
âWow, delicious! This, this is the first time Iâve ever had such a dish!â
âThatâs great.â
âHuh? Is it that delicious?â
The tuna rice balls (120 yen including tax) bought at the convenience store seemed to be to the taste of otherworldly person, and Klein was eating them one by one with a happy face.
Iâve only eaten at this residence once, but the quality of the food is better than that of the rice balls. Itâs just that this level shouldnât be surprising, what the hell is going on?
Well, anyway, itâs good that he thinks itâs delicious. By the way, though, Mizzet, who was watching her brother enjoying his meal, was giving me a keen look, but I ignoring her.
You can just watch your brother eat with your fingers in your mouth. This is my revenge against the young girl who made unreasonable demands on me.
âIâm starting to feel warm and fuzzy.â
âThatâs good to hear. Great. Then, please take this medicine with water.â
âOkay.â
âHey, whereâs my share?â
Ignoring the increasingly disturbing sight who began stomping in my foot, I let Klein take his medicine.
But what is it that makes his body feel warm and fuzzy?
Of course, it is understandable if the metabolism is temporarily increased because of eating, but it doesnât suddenly make you warm.
I canât understand.
Then Klein, who finished taking the medicine as instructed, suddenly showed a dazed expression.
â âŠâŠ.. Huh?â
âWhatâs wrong, brother-sama?
âOh my God, Mizzet, Iâm so light! My throat doesnât hurt, and I donât want to cough! Iâm cured!â
Huh!
No way!
How could itâs possible?
No matter how good Earthâs cold medicine is, thereâs no way it can kill the disease in seconds.
Because medicine doesnât operate on such a principle, it canât be equated with such a fantastic power as magic.
Surprised at the sudden improvement in Kleinâs health, I immediately touched his forehead with my hand and took his temperature.
âThe fever has really gone downâŠ. â
âHey, thatâs a lie! Youâre lying! Youâre not going to lie to me, are you? If youâre lying, youâll go to jail! Go to jail!â
Donât ask to me about this.
There is really no fever, so I canât help it. Although I was in a panic, the result was the result.
What exactly happened?
âHey, Mizzet! How can you talk in such a tone to the priest who provided me with precious medicine! He cured me, didnât he?â
âBut, brother-sama, if this guy is lyingâŠâ
âHow can he lie? How else can lie when I know Iâm the one whoâs cured?â
ââŠâŠ Huu~, alright.â
Apparently, Mizzet trusts her brother Klein and has changed her mind after seeing him suddenly regain his energy.
But I also understand her misgivings. Obviously no magic was used, but her brother who had been in sick suddenly returned to health. I would never believe it either if I were in Mizzet position.
Seriously, whatâs going on here.
âWell, fine! Even if this guy is suspicious, itâs true that Brother-sama has regained his health! Iâll go inform Okaa-sama and Otou-sama! ⊠â
Uh!? No, thatâs not good!
I was able to convince her brother, Klein, because heâs a kid and has a gentle personality, but I donât know what his father and grandfather would make of the situation.
After all, I said that the treatment would take place tomorrow at noon, yet sneaking around in a place like this without knowing what to do would raise suspicion, and most importantly, if Mizzet went to report it, she would be found out that she wasnât in the room. I have to stop her.
