Chapter 86: Dispel Potion Complete

When I woke up, the contents of the blessing Leenvelte-sama gave me flowed into my head, and I groaned—Uumu—on the bed. The blessing given by Leenvelte-sama is [Business Extension]. As the name suggests, it extends the summoning time of stores. Currently, the stores I summon automatically disappear after 24 hours. However, using this [Business Extension], that time can be extended. By the way, this consumes magic power and apparently must be set at the beginning. If decided as two days, then two days; if three days, then three days. Once summoned, it won’t disappear until that time passes. Of course, I can dismiss it at will. The magic power required for extension increases the longer it is, and with my current magic power, three days for just one store is the limit. If I summon one store to operate for three days, I think I can’t summon anything else that day. Even for kitchen cars which use relatively less magic power, the magic power required for extension is the same, so only one kitchen car can be summoned for three days. Whether this blessing is useful, it seems useful, yet not so much… But until now, if someone other than me moved with a kitchen car, they couldn’t ride it back unless it was a place reachable in half a day, but with this, they can move for one and a half days. If they return by carriage or something, they can run for three days. Simply assuming running continuously for three full days at 60 km/h… Wait, what happens to gasoline and such for that car…? Umm, 4320 km? Don’t really know how far that can run… I recall hearing Earth’s circumference is about 40,000 km… one-tenth of that? Even less clear… However, at least going to a neighboring country and returning seems possible. Going to Luca and Tifa‘s countries and returning is also possible. Maybe I should have someone go experimentally. If I send a mountain of snacks, Luca would be delighted. While vaguely thinking about such things, maid Arisa-san came and briskly changed my clothes. Even though I can change by myself, apparently it’s bad form for a Duke’s daughter to change herself.

“Kohaku-san, going for breakfast~” “Umu…”

When I called out, Kohaku-san who was curled up on the bed sat up—mukuri. Arisa-san holds the still sleepy Kohaku-san and we head to the dining room together. In the dining room, Father, Mother, Grandmother, the Empress, Elliott, the Commander General, and Estelle were already assembled. Bianca, Ritsu, and Jean are attendants so they aren’t seated. Oh my, am I the last? No, the Traumerei parent and child aren’t here. Well, that pair is probably compounding, so it’s natural they aren’t here.

“Good morning, Sakuraile. Did you sleep well?” “Good morning, Father. Yes, very soundly.”

To be honest, perhaps because I was called to the heavens (beyond), I don’t feel like I slept much. Tiredness is reasonably gone, so physically I probably rested though. Just as I was about to sit between Father and Mother, the sound of someone running noisily—dotabata—came from the hallway, and the dining room door was opened roughly.

“D-Done! The dispel potion!”

The one who jumped in was Viscount Traumerei. In his hand, a small bottle containing pale blue liquid was gripped. Dark circles were clearly visible under his eyes. Seems he pulled an all-nighter after all.

“Done, is it! So, how many numbers!?” “For now, about ten. Currently, my son is mass-producing with his ‘Gift’.”

Leon‘s ‘Gift’, [Drug Creation], is a ‘Gift’ that can create medicine instantly if materials and knowledge are present. Once completed, numbers can be gathered in a short time.

“I don’t think there are problems, but clinical trials immediately. I will go to the village where Silver Demon Disease occurred.” “Ritsu, can you go?” “Yes, I’m okay! Can depart immediately!”

When I asked, Ritsu, wearing a maid outfit and serving, answered energetically. With Oboro‘s speed, she should reach the village in a few hours. Depending on results, might return before evening.

“Then I will go prepare!”

hurriedly, Viscount Traumerei left the dining room. Leaving the pale blue dispel potion on the table. Ritsu also bowed to leave and chased after him. Father smiles beamingly at me.

“That’s great. With this, many people will be saved. It’s thanks to Sakuraile.” “No… With my power…”

Rather than thanks to me, it’s more like the curse disease was released because of me… Even if the curse disease didn’t spread this time, it would have spread ten years later… Just whether the cause was myself or not brings a heavy guilt. I hope the curse disease truly stops with this…

◇ ◇ ◇

In the evening of that day, Ritsu, Viscount Traumerei, and the Commander and others who went as guards returned.

“Great success! We were able to completely cure the villagers suffering from Silver Demon Disease! It will take time for stamina to return, but everyone will be able to return to their original lives safely!” “Is that so! That’s great! Alright, then let’s send the mass-produced dispel potion to the Royal Capital immediately!”

Hearing Viscount Traumerei‘s report, Father ordered the dispel potion mass-produced by Leon to be loaded onto kitchen cars one after another. By the way, these kitchen cars have the blessing received from Leenvelte-sama, [Business Extension], applied. Since I haven’t summoned anything today, I should be able to use full three days. When tomorrow comes, magic power recovers, so I can summon a three-day extension kitchen car again. During that time, air-conditioned stores can’t be used, but I’ll ask them to endure. Mother, Grandmother, and the Empress looked disappointed, but human lives cannot be replaced. If they endure for a few days, domestic portion of dispel potion can be delivered to major cities, so it’s patience until then. At worst, if I set [Business Extension] to two days, it’s not like I can’t summon other shops. Actually, strictly speaking, I can summon a three-day extension kitchen car and an onigiri shop. Onigiri shop consumes less magic power than a kitchen car. Maybe because space is only about two tatami mats, and no reserve functions like air conditioning or lighting? Only Ume onigiri from the onigiri shop must go all to Leon though. Don’t know how much is needed, but having spare medicine is better. The Royal Castle’s storage has preservation magic, so it should be preservable without degradation.

“Kuaa” “There there. Hungry, right?”

In the courtyard, Ritsu is giving onigiri to Oboro who kept flying all day today. Oboro seems to like kelp onigiri. Tasteful. By the way, we have already drunk the dispel potion diluted hundred-fold. Taste is, well, umm, diluted plum cider…? Glad it wasn’t bitter. Once this medicine is drunk, one will never contract the curse of Silver Demon Disease again, so there is no more danger to our lives. But honestly, I don’t know if victims will be zero. Some might get infected unknowingly and pass away under the travel sky unknown to anyone. Checking every corner of this vast country is impossible. Reasonably big towns aside, small villages or hidden hamlets can’t be grasped. To avoid panic, we couldn’t spread word about Silver Demon Disease openly until now, but now that the dispel potion is made, people need to know. Without spreading the fact that there is a disease called Silver Demon Disease and a specific medicine, they won’t even realize… Fortunately, the village where the curse occurred wasn’t a village with much traffic, so I don’t think it spread that far. In the game, the one who brought the disease to the Royal Capital and caused a pandemic was Sakuraile—me… That we managed to stop it this time is merely because various coincidences overlapped. If I hadn’t saved Ritsu… no, before that if I hadn’t obtained the [Holy Sword], I couldn’t have saved her. I feel like protagonist Estelle is the starting point after all… Estelle is the protagonist until ‘2’, but she appears in ‘3’ and onwards too. The protagonist of ‘3’ is Estelle‘s junior. In ‘3’, Estelle appears as the admired upperclassman. Not a capture target, but Elliott, Jean, and Leon too. They appear as reliable senior characters. Well, this area is probably fan service. But I don’t think there was a need to make Villainess Sakuraile appear too. Moreover as an irrelevant foil character… While playing the game, I laughed thinking ‘Again?’. Haa… Which route will attack next… If possible, please be a route I’ve played. There are works I haven’t completed… Thinking about various disaster routes coming from now on, I couldn’t help but sigh.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next day, when I woke up, Samonia-sama’s crest on my right hand had leveled up. Is this because the dispel potion was completed? Certainly, that was an event with a still (CG). In the game, Leon completed the dispel potion, but in reality (real), his father Viscount Traumerei completed it. Does the creator not matter? How does this part work…? Ah! Should have asked the Goddesses about that! I’ll ask next time we meet… wait, will there be a next opportunity to meet…? Umm, is this the twelfth one? The scale has gone full circle. Around Samonia-sama’s crest, twelve small patterns circle around like a clock face. Does this mean entering the second lap from next? If it keeps increasing like this, what if my right hand gets covered with crests…? If I ask the church, can they conceal it? But concealing a crest is like saying I have something guilty, so I heard it’s not recommended. Can’t I just conceal the surrounding patterns? Or apply a sticker or something only on Samonia-sama’s crest after concealing? There are ‘Gift’ holders who can transfer pictures, so maybe that can be managed. Now, what is the next shop? Previous time (though day before yesterday) was a small shop called onigiri shop. This time, I want a big one with a bang. Like a supermarket!
