Chapter 24: Mother-in-law seems to be kind

Erica, an exclusive maid of the princess, is making tea while we kill time with origami, but the duke is taking a long time.

"Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom ..."

"Lara will take you!"

I've become friends with Lara.

"Thank you. Then, I'll ask Lara for guidance."

I thought but... Anna rang the doorbell in the room and called a maid.

"Did you call for me miss?"

"Take this person to the bathroom"

She's no longer glaring at me, but she still seems to treat me as "this person" and is still hostile.

"Yes, I will guide you."

The maid who is guiding me started to go up to the 3rd floor from the reception room on the 2nd floor?

"Wait a minute ... I want to go to the bathroom ..."

If you think about it in the common sense of this world, it should be on the first floor because it is a vault-type toilet.

"Yes. I have been told in advance to take you to the place dedicated to you and the lord's family."

Well, I wasn't sure, so I decided to follow her silently ... and it seems that the maid is still very cautious, she doesn't ignore me like the maids of the royal castle, but there are still signs of contempt.

She guided me to the door near the end of the 3rd floor.

Immediately after entering, there is a hand-washing area with a mirror, but there is only a tub filled with water in front of the mirror. And the in the back is the toilet, but there's only a beautiful tub under the door plate that does not contain any manure.

"♪ (Chileen) In this duke's house, it seems that the maid purifies it with  [clean] lifestyle magic every time it's used. There are different bathrooms for family members, butlers, maids, and slaves. "

It's beautiful without any odor because it was cleaned by purification magic.

I should tell my brother about this and improve the toilets in the royal castle.

I'm afraid of manure droplet infections such as cholera and dysentery.

I use [clean] to purify the pee in the barrel.

"Fairy san ... Where do things purified by [clean] disappear to? 』\

It's a convenient magic that is also used for cleaning and washing, but I wondered where the dust and dirt disappeared too.

"♪ To a subspace. It seems that it's moved to a place of the same dimension as [Subspace Warehouse]. Ah! Apparently this is a secret, so don't tell anyone ... "

It seems there are circumstances behind the goddess who created this magic ... ?When I got out of the bathroom, the maid went in, but soon came out and asked me a question.

"Luke sama ... Didn't you do anything?"

"Huh? Oh, I applied [clean] myself."

"Your Highness Luke can use [clean] magic, right?"

"Yeah. My main attribute is holy."

"♪ It's rare to have a holy attribute. It seems that her favorability has improved a little. "

"Well, I didn't do anything to her directly. She heard rumors and seemed to be wary, but if I deal with her like a gentleman in the future, it will improve, right? 』\

I left the toilet, but I heard a rough, painful cough leaking from the innermost door of the corridor ...

"That's a harsh cough ..."

"The madame resides there ..."

The fairy said it was tuberculosis ... it's saddening.

"Fairy ... Wind magic [Air Shield] If I put it up, the air can't penetrate, right? 』\

 "♪ You can prevent it with barrier magic such as[Aqua Shield] and [Air Shield]. Rather, it's not so easy to transfer to people in good health. Those who are physically too weak to get rid of bacteria that have entered their body get sick. "

"This is the missus room... let's say hello"

"Please wait! Her illness is contagious, that's why she's resting in a room like this!"

She didn't say "She's isolated" in the back room ... I think she's a noble daughter somewhere, but she's a maid.

"I may not be able to cure her illness, but I can do more than relieve her cough and fever ... I going to go to school, so I want to say hello before I leave."

"But ... if so, please get permission from the duke first!"

"It's a good idea, but I can't leave anyone coughing so hard right in front of me, if you want you can stay outside."

I Ignore the maid who tried to stop me and knock on the door.

"Yes ... Gohogoho ... Gohon ... But please ... Goho ..."

She made a voice, but I was even more alarmed...

"Excuse me……"

"Oh? I  thought it was noisy outside, are you a guest? Excuse me for not being properly dressed. Goho ..."

The lady has a gentle voice, but she is thin and pitiful to see. I think she'd be a beautiful person if she was in good health. She's trying hard to get out of bed.

"Oh, please don't get up! My name is Luke. I just came to the Forel family as a son-in-law. Nice to meet you."

Even still, she sat down on the bed and got up ... it should be painful ...

"Well, Your Highness came all this way to say hello. I'm Guile's wife, Sasha. Goho ... I'm sorry, but you shouldn't get sick. It's better to leave the room immediately. Please go ... Gohogoho ... Kaha ... "

Wow! She's coughing blood! Isn't this pretty dangerous?

"I'm sorry madam! I stopped to say hello before heading to school,..."

She told me to stay outside, but I came inside the room.

"That's right ... Goho ... I'm glad to see my daughter's partner while I'm alive ..."

"Excuse me ... [Aqua Heal] [Clean] [Aqua Cure]"

I Hold my hand over her chest and cast intermediate recovery magic with the image of suppressing lung inflammation and eliminating tubercle bacilli.

The reason why the recovery surgeons in this world cannot cure colds and tuberculosis is largely due to their lack of awareness of bacteria and viruses. If the image of magic is properly created, God's system correction works and it can be applied to some extent.

"How about it fairy? 』\

"♪ You were able to alleviate it considerably, but her illness is in a terminal state ... Intermediate magic cannot cure it without daily treatment."

"Can It be cured by applying the magic I did earlier every day? How long will it take? 』\

"♪ It seems that it can be cured in about 10 days. But you have to go to school, so you can't come back from the royal capital to the Duke's house every day. "

"Oh? I feel a lot better!"

"I'm good at recovery magic, but, though it's improved, it's not cured completely, so it would get worse over time."

"Madame's complexion has improved a lot!"

"It seems that my cough has stopped and my fever has gone down. Thank you, Luke-sama. Even so, you can activate recovery magic with [no chanting] ... It seems that we found a great son-in-law. "

"♪ It seems the duke hasn't told his wife about the master's bad reputation cause she's suffering from illness."

I see ... I'm fat, but from the perspective of the madame, she thought they sent an excellent person ...
