We decided that after Karl finished his work, we would meet up and go see his daughter.
I was waiting for Karl while sitting on a chair in the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Sorry, Noah. Thank you for waiting for such a long time.”
After work, Karl seemed to be in a hurry and came here in a jog.
“No, worries Let’s go.”
“Yes! Follow me.”
I followed Karl and arrived at his house.
The place was in the same residential areas as Serena’s house.
It was a building that didn’t look as good as the surrounding private houses.
“Please come in”
“Excuse me”
As I proceed to enter the bedroom, I saw a woman caring for her bedridden daughter.
“Welcome back, ── Oh, who is this person?”
“This is Noah. He is going to help cure Carla’s illness. Noah, this is my wife Sarah and my daughter Carla.”
His daughter is sleeping on a bed in the back.
She was still a young child.
“Noah-san, thank you very much for coming. Best regards from now on”
Karl’s wife, Sarah, stood up and thanked me.
“Best regards too. Can I see your daughter right away?”
“Yes, please …! She’s been sleeping all the time lately, and her symptoms are getting worse;”
I sat down next to the sleeping child and checked her symptoms.
“uu-uu …”
She was sweating a lot while sleeping.
“Did she have any other symptoms before she fell asleep?”
“She fell a lot and gradually became unable to move.”
Sara answered.
When I heard the symptoms, I thought of an illness.
To get more evidence, I decided to look at the magical power flowing through her body.
On the body of a living thing, there are things called magic meridians. It’s like a blood vessel but instead magic flows through it.
If there is something wrong with it, the symptoms may be like Karl’s daughter.
” Magic analysis “
When I chanted “Magic Analysis”, my vision became dark, I saw something glowing blue-purple her body.
This bluish-purple light represents the magical power that flows through the body.
Normally, it shines through the whole body regardless of the amount of magical power, but in this case, the whole body is almost dark, with only occasional flashes. In other words, her magic power isn’t flowing freely.
“This is Magic Meridian sclerosis syndrome.”
I mentioned the name of the disease that his daughter was affected by.
Magical meridian sclerosis syndrome is a illness of unknown cause.
Symptoms gradually worsen and eventually lead to death.
“Even the doctor in the royal capital didn’t know, but do you know Noah …?”
Sara said.
“Yes. I think this is more related to the field of magic rather than medicine, so I think it’s difficult to identify the illness unless you’re familiar with magic.”
“Wow, that’s amazing! Asking Noah-san was the correct answer! So what kind of illness is it?”
“There is a vessel called the magic meridian in which magical power flows, but your daughter’s magical meridians aren’t working properly. The magical power that she has is leaking.
“Is it possible for Noah to cure it?”
In response to Karl’s question, I quietly shook my head.
“The cause is unknown, but if you drink the elixir as originally planned, you should be able to cure it.”
To be honest, this is a bet.
There is no precedent, but an elixir that cures any illness has the potential to cure it.
“Huh, is that true !?”
“Yes. The only way to treat it is to get a fairy flower. Do you have the other ingredients?”
“Yes. I have holy water, mermaid tears, and universal grass in the magic bag there.”
Holy water, mermaid tears, all-purpose grass, fairy flowers.
There is no doubt that these are elixir material.
Karl is an appraiser, so he should have a certain amount of things gathered.
“Okay, then only the fairy flowers are left.”
“Noah-san … Could you somehow find it?”
“I will do what I can.”
His daughter’s symptoms have progressed to a dangerous point.
If I spend too much time, it may be too late.
“Then, I will give you the B rank quest tomorrow.”
Time is of the essence.
If I take the quest, my reputation as an adventurer will increase and I may be rewarded.
However, it will take some time to recommend the quest.
With the recommendation of guild staff, they will consider letting me take a higher-ranked quest.
We don’t have the time for that.
If I really want to cure their daughter, I don’t have time to wait for the recommend quest to go through the guild.
“There is not enough time, so I’ll look for it now.”
“But that’s unreasonable! You won’t be able to borrow magical tools for exploration. I’m grateful for those feelings but it’ll be hard to find it.”
“It’s okay. I wasn’t originally thinking about using magic tools anyways. Believe me, Karl.”
“I understand”
Karl looked straight into my eyes and said so.
“Well, I’m sorry for intruding today. I’ll let you know as soon as I find it.”
“” Noah-san, thank you …! “”
Karl and Sarah bowed together.
It’s proof that they really want to help their daughter.
Otherwise, that B-class quest wouldn’t give you that much reward.
“I will definitely find it, so don’t worry.”
I smiled so and left Karl’s house.
It was already dark outside.
“Well then, let’s find the fairy flower.”
[Noah is really too kind]
“This much is nothing. Also, I’m going to use 《Teleportation》 to search for the fairy flowers, so get on my head. “
“Mm. I understand. “
Fafnir must have read the air and kept silent until now.
Even though he was so noisy when we went to Serena’s house.
I made a good guy my servant.
Then I went into the back alley and chanted《Teleportation》.
