Volume 2 - CH 9

“Sister Lumiere… Tell me about the situation.”

First, I would listen to Lumiere who was bowing down while sweating cold. She raised her head and began to speak slowly.

“You know I have a sister, right?”

“Oh, I remember she played with me a lot.”

“After moving to the elf country my sister became a magical researcher. Just recently, there was a report that she had a serious illness. It’s called magical illness. It’s a disease that make impossible to stand up because the magical power and vitality of the body are lost. “

“Magic illness? It’s an illness I’ve never heard of.”

Even though I was a pharmacist of sorts in the countryside, I was studying a little. However, there is no such disease name to my knowledge.

“Yeah, that’s right. This disease was prevalent in the old times. When the tenth Demon King was ruling, he developed a vaccine and ended it, and no one got sick…”

“Your sister got sick for some reason.”

“Yeah. Magical illness doesn’t work with ordinary medicine or healing magic, and after investigating various things, I came across the material of the 10th Demon King and decided that the only way to fix it at present is “God’s water”. That’s why I want to dive into the dungeon of the 10th Demon King.”

So that’s it. It seems that the background situation is rather difficult. that’s why,

“I understand. Let’s do it.”

That said, Lumiere opened her eyes.

“Huh……”

“What is it? You asked me sister Lumiere, right?”

“No. That’s right, but the dungeon of the 10th Demon King has a lot of monsters, so I thought you’d decide it with a little more thought, but it’s so easy…?”

“What, it was better to be reluctant instead of nice?”

“Uh, yeah! No problem. Rather thank you very much.”

“Then it is good.”

I didn’t accept the request without any thought. Dive into the dungeon of the 10th Demon King is already a must for me.

Therefore, if you think that, you could also search for treasure in the meantime, it is big merit to increase the number of friends like sister Lumiere.

I’m looking for something, so the more people I have, the better.

It is selfish. However, I also have different expectations. I’m trying to be a pharmacist; thus, I can’t afford to abandon the sick who knows how to cure it.

in addition,

“You can’t forsake your childhood friend because she’s sick.”

“Chrono…”

“That’s why I’m looking forward to working with you, Lumiere.”

Saying that I extended my hand,

“Yes, thank you.”

Lumiere grabbed my hand tightly, with tears in her eyes.

●

“From tomorrow, please take care of me Chrono”

“Oh, I understand.”

Chrono left the drawing-room, deciding to explore the dungeon from tomorrow morning.

“Fu…”

Lumiere exhaled while Liza sat next to her and stroked her head.

“It was good, Lumiere that Chrono accepted.”

“Yes, really. I didn’t expect he’d receive such a dangerous request right away. And even if I say he was my childhood friend, I didn’t know if he would remember it because it was a long time ago, and I’m grateful in a double sense. Wow.”

“That’s right… Lumiere, you used to be Chrono’s childhood friend, right? You know a lot about his hometown, right?”

When Liza said so, Lumiere thought a little and then scratched her cheek.

“Ah… If you say I know, I know…”

“It’s a subtle way of saying it. Is there anything difficult to say?”

I wonder if they are even under martial law. Liza asked, but Lumière shook his head.

“Well, when I leave Chrono’s town, my memory about that city was locked. I remember playing with Chrono, but what kind of place and what kind it had, I can’t remember, neither how was the journey. the faces of the people in the town are the only ones I can remember. I tried using magic to catch my memory, it worked but, I couldn’t recognize it. “

“I see.…is it sealed in your memory? It’s no wonder that talk about his hometown doesn’t spread. But you remember that the city was special and that you were worried about Chrono.”

When she was talking to Chrono earlier, she should have been talking about that kind of old tale.

“Yeah. The memory of seeing Chrono being trained by his neighbors every day is unlocked. It left a strong impression that he was moving around until he vomited blood.

“It’s fierce.”

“But Chrono was always saying: ‘The old man, my neighbor said, isn’t this normal outside?’ I was wondering if my senses were going wrong.”

“Oh, Chrono’s very low self-esteem character came from there…”

At last, Liza felt that she could understand a part of his anomaly.

“If all the problems settle down, I’d like to ask Chrono to take me there. Anyway, thank you. I heard some interesting information.”

“Thank you, Liza. Thanks to you, I was able to meet Chrono again and even cooperate. I am really grateful to you and Chrono.”

With that said, Lumiere smiled with a relieved smile.
