Chapter 9: The Goddess' Elixir? No, just an antidote

　About 30 people were injured in this monster subjugation. Among them, it is said that there are about ten people who need medical treatment.

　Oh, it's about the same number as the recovery medicine I brought. Exactly the best match! It’s just asking me to experiment.

　It should be noted that the ten of them also refused to undergo treatment at length, saying that they would heal naturally and did not need treatment. However, the wounds were so severe that they were ordered by the Commander to receive treatment.

　Therefore, it seems that the next room is currently in a wake-up state. Very quiet.

"Julius-sama! You're here again!"

　Lionel, the Knight Commander, arrived in a flurry. His normally neat hair was a mess, and he seemed to have come in a great hurry.

"Hi, Lionel. Thought I'd let you come along to my experiment today, eh?"

"Experiment... you say?"

　Lionel raises one eyebrow suspiciously. The medic sitting in front of him also has his eyebrows curled up. Could it be that the feudal lord's child has acted unreasonably? Well, normally you would think so.

"I want you to see this"

　I took out the magic potion from the bag. When they saw it, they stopped moving.

"What's this?"

"The green one is an elementary recovery pill and the yellow one is an antidote."

　The two of them pick it up and confirm it as if it was a lie. Finally, the medic brought the appraisal magic tool. And then he suddenly appraises it. Well, that's a natural reaction. It's not like any magic potion they saw before. It would be necessary to check whether it is genuine or not.

　Only the name of the magic potion was displayed on the appraisal magic tool. Other than that, nothing else was displayed. It did not even show what effect the magic potion had.

　What exactly are you appraising, and how? I'm really curious. In the game, I accepted it as "that kind of thing".

"... It's really an elementary recovery medicine and an antidote."

"No way..."

　Lionel was speechless. It was written on his face that he had never seen such a magic potion. I'd better move cautiously here. This reaction could lead to an uproar.

"This experiment of mine is a secret between us. Do not divulge it to anyone else."

"Even the palace?"

"That's right"

“Was this made by Julius-sama?”

"Yes. I made it."

"how?"

"It's a secret"

　Lionel was silent. As a servant of my father, it would be unacceptable. But the potion in front of him would appear to be a beacon of hope for his friends. 'You know clearly that this is not your usual magic potion. One more push?

"You both should smell the Elementary Recovery Potion."

　I thought I heard a gulp and a spit-sniffing sound. They fearfully opened the lid of the elementary recovery medicine and sniffed it.

"No smell..."

"That's ridiculous ......"

“I think that alone makes it easier to drink.”

　Of course, it's not only easy to drink, it's also highly effective. After all, it's made by me!　Ahem. All right, all right, I'm feeling much better.

"What are you going to do? If you can't promise me, I'll just take it all back with me."

"I understand. I'll issue a gag order to the entire Order, including myself."

"It's a promise. Then let's treat the wounded."

　Thus we went to the defendants awaiting sentencing.

"... That's what I'm saying. Do not reveal anything about what will happen in the future. Only those who can promise that will be given the magic potion that Julius-sama made."

"I promise."

　The answer was immediate for everyone present. Even though they had not yet seen the actual effect or tasted it, the mere smell of it filled everyone's eyes with hope.

"Well then, let's start with the treatment of Evans who was poisoned by the Killer Spider."

　Mr. Evans returns a nod. His body has already become partially paralyzed by the poison. The situation seems to be getting worse and worse. Until now, antidotes could not completely remove the killer spider's poison, and it was all they could do to save their lives.

　An antidote was put into Evans' mouth by a medic. Change came quickly. His hands and feet, which hadn't even twitched until just now, began to move. More than that...

"Sweet! Is there such a thing as a sweet potion!?"

　Mr. Evans, who suddenly regained his energy, let out a scream. The wounds on his body gradually closed. A medic noticed this.

"Is Mr. Evans healed from his injuries?"

"Oh, it's true! What the heck is this!?"

“The antidote contains medicinal herbs, after all. It also helps to heal wounds, albeit slightly."

"This is a little bit? Isn't this magic potion the secret of the Goddess!?"

"No. It's just a quality antidote."

"High quality antidote?"

　Oops, did I talk too much? But the gag order has been enforced, so is it okay to talk? If I don't build up a little bit of trust now, it might hinder future human trials ...... or even future checks on the effectiveness of the system.

"Actually, I know the quality of magic potions."

"I see, so that's why you asked us to show you the potions at the time."

　Lionel nodded as if he was convinced. The medic heard this and couldn't resist asking.

"So what were the results then?"

"... all the lowest quality"

"Jeez!"

　Except for me, everyone who was there shouted that and looked up at the sky. When I first saw it, I wanted to look up at the sky as well. And I wanted to turn away from reality.
