Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an AdventurerVolume 5 Chapter 69
Miyu-tanâs upgrade
ăŒ
That night, we stayed at the fishermanâs house.
âI can never thank you enough. That octopus is gone and the fishes will now be back⊠I will be fishing once again. Itâs a poor house, but please stay over!â
Gan-san roasted dried fishes, which seems to be things he had saved for emergency situations.
âY-you donât have to treat us!â
âI will be able to catch a lot more from now on. Donât hesitate! Snake-nee-san too!â
ăThank you, Gan-chan!ă
Well, Miyu-tan is nothing like a snake, but people will definitely see her as one. And she can only talk to me. Miyu-tan, who ate the octopus that had been troubling Gan-san for a long time, became his Snake-nee-san.
âWe are going to the shrine tomorrow? Why is the request for B-rankers or higher?â
âIâve heard that the God of Bountiful Harvests is there⊠But I donât know why it requires B-rankers or higher. And Iâve never heard whether itâs dangerous there or notâŠâ
ăLetâs quickly finish that tomorrow, and we can get the Clear grass from the third request the next day.ă
âHey, donât look down on Gizina Mountain.â
âIâll be fine. Iâm used to climbing such heights.â
Iâm from Trundle after all!
-goho- -goho- -gohon-!
Thatâs when I heard a nasty sounding cough from the next room.
âYour family member?â
âUn⊠yeâŠs. My wife. Sheâs bedridden.â
âIt wouldnât trouble you if I go say hello, right?â
ââŠHaa, Gold-nee-san and Snake-nee-san would be surprised to see her. Please, by all means, go ahead.â
His wife is lying unconscious in a bed and, on her skin that is visible are⊠black discolouration, especially on her face and neck.
ââŠâŠThis is?â
âItâs just like that. I donât know the cause behind the change in her complexion. Four years ago, she fell unconscious for no reason and couldnât move after that, her skin color also changed. Iâve consulted a doctor on the island but he couldnât do anything about it. I have been told that she was cursed and had the priests pray for her, but it is still ineffective⊠Iâm also told that she would be better after one more prayer⊠But Iâve run out of money.â
Heâs probably scammed.
Me and Miyu-tan narrowed our eyes.
âI can now go fishing once again due to you Sisters, and Iâll be able to pay for the prayers once again. And as strong as you both are, youâll also be able to secure the Clear grass and heal her.â
âThe request for Clear grass was from Gan-san?â
âOh. Ah, please rest assured, I have already submitted the fee for the Clear Grass request to the guild!â
ăSera-chama, there are no curses here.ă
Thatâs quick, Miyu-nee-san, have you already checked? Curses are the patented magic system of snakes after all!
Then, my turn!
â<Appraisal>!â
I recited in my heart.
A new magic I immediately came up with after being on this island is <Appraisal>. Until then, this task had always been left to Lu. I could learn it in just two days thanks to the fictional stories in my previous world and the magic of Lu, which abhors evil, still dwelling in my body.
I see⊠The doctor realised that she was poisonous and gave her medicine. Thatâs probably what kept her alive for now. But he didnât know that the poison was a mixtureâŠ
ăSera-chama, do you want to treat her like you helped Otou-chama?ă
âYes. However, this poison, Iâll prepare the antidote myself. We should save our magic, right?â
Miyu-tan nods.
But even so, the poison⊠How could a fishermanâs wife come in contact with such complex poison?
â<Appraisal>â
ăGan (Fisherman, Juliaâs Husband, Former C-rank Adventurer)
ăCondition: Good
Gan-san, Former C-rank⊠That aside, Gan-san is also glowing blue. This is important.
Blue is normal. If a body glows red⊠It means they are having ill intent. Gan-san is clear.
He is not someone who should be doubtedâŠ
âGan-san, your wife is inflicted with a complex poison. If you can trust me, Iâll prepare an antidote now. However, the effect wonât be immediate. It will work in about⊠a few days later. Itâs okay if you canât believe in a stranger you just met.â
âYoung Lady (Jou-chan)⊠Julia can be cured?â
âYes. Iâll cure her. However, poisoning Julia would have required an elaborate plan in the first place. So Iâd like you to promise me that you would keep her treatment a secret, and never let her be in contact with anyone until she is completely cured.â
ââŠYouâre saying that someone on the island poisoned Julia, and could cause her even greater harm!? Cut it out!â
He got mad about that after all?
âItâs a matter of course that you will trust those from the same city more than strangers. Gan-san, good night.â
ââŠâŠâŠâŠâ
The next morning, I and Miyu-tan woke up at dawn and sneaked our way out to leave for the temple.
âP-please, wait!â
âGan-sanâ
âIâm sorry about last night. Iâll believe in you. About Julia⊠I ask of you.â
Gan-san bows deeply.
ââŠPlease tell me your terms.â
âMake her drink everything!â
I would feel sorry if she ended up getting poisoned once again after treating her with great efforts.
I took out a bottle with cloudy green liquid from my pocket.
Of course, it is something I concocted last night. I anticipated that this would happen. Gan-san is a sensible person after all.
âIt tasted horrible. I already tried it. Even Julia-san who is unconscious will reject it. If she wonât take it herself⊠well, you could just give it to her mouth-to-mouth in one sip.â
âMouth-to-mouth?â
Gun-san turns red.
âYes. She will develop high fever for a while to neutralise the poison and would rampage because of that. Hold her tight to stop her from hurting herself!â
âHold her tight!?â
Gun-san holds his mouth down with both hands for some reason. What is he so ashamed of?
âYes. And when her fever drops, take off her clothes and wipe the sweat off her entire body. Change her clothes too.â
âTake off her clothes and wipe her naked body!?â
Gun-sanâs gaze is losing focus.
âYes. And keep her hydrated, if her consciousness hasnât returned then, just give it to her mouth-to-mouth once again. She will soon wake up after enough rest.â
âMouth-to-mouth again?â
Gan-sanâŠ
âAhâ haa! Gun-san, your reaction is super weird each time! You are a couple, why are you so red!?â
âA-actually⊠When she fell unconscious⊠It was our wedding nightâŠâ
ââŠYour wedding night?â
âAhâ
Julia-sanâŠ
âIâm⊠I feel ashamed that I couldnât protect my bride.â
ââŠBut you changed her clothes before, right?â
âI donât change her clothes. I felt bad to see Julia naked without her permission, so I had my neighbors wipe her body.â
âThatâs no good. Gan-san should do it! Even if Julia-san will hit you for it later!â
Well, she married him after all. A woman like that will allow Gan-san to touch her.
ââŠI hope sheâll be healthy enough to hit me soonâŠâŠâ
ăThey poisoned her because they were against the marriage!! A wedding is every girlâs dream! Miyu canât forgive them!ă
-kiran-!
Miyuâs eyes glowed!
Ah, Miyu-tanâs magic, <curse> has been activated!
Let me explain. The reflection magic that I casted on Miyu-tan and the Little Dragon-sama is constantly upgrading, and it no longer only reflects physical attacks, but also the magical ones. <Curse> can now be activated against those with evil intentions. Sheâs a scary girl, -ufufufu-!
How was it upgraded? With the constant efforts of Little Dragon-sama and Miyu-tan of course⊠I guess Lu and Ash looking after them also helped. The parent and child who are innocently following the Sacred Beasts ended up learning curses. Is that okay? I canât tell.
This time, a calamity will befall those that had ill intent to Gan-san, who had provided us with dinner and a nightâs stay. This is what they got for crushing a maidenâs dream. Their daughterâs maidenly dreams.
By now, Miyu-tanâs curse should have arrived to those responsible for the poisoning. How would it be like over there?
âI donât know!â
Miyu-tan returned to my pocket and we left for the temple.
