Chapter 25: It seems he was in a hurry cause there's an annual school event.

My mother-in-law's condition has improved considerably with my recovery magic, and now I can see her smile.

However, my intermediate magic is only a temporary measure.

"Fairy, do you think it'll be cured if I tell a high-ranking magician about my knowledge and have him perform the treatment. 』\

"♪ (Chileen) Yes, but how does the Master intend to tell him you got such knowledge? ?\

“…………”

"♪ I think the story will go smoothly if we say the master discovered it through magical research a few years ago. But actually, it's safe to say the treatment was highly effective because the master has a lot of god's benefits, but ... If someone other than the master performs the procedure, he'll have to understand the process of healing or It'd have no effect. It's necessary to explain bacteria and viruses, but how do you explain it in a world where microscopes haven't been developed? 』 \

"Why doesn't the goddess move then? Isn't it possible to reduce the number of people dying by teaching them in oracles? 』\

"♪ Civilization is developed by human hands. If God gave it all, growth and development would be rather slow. "

While I was talking to the fairy, the maid talked to me.

"Your Highness Luke, I'm sorry, but may I ask you about this magic?"

"Yeah? What about it?"

"Luke-sama said earlier that you are good at magic of the holy attributes, but the ones you used were the intermediate water system recovery magic [Aqua Heal]. Why did you apply [clean] and the water system intermediate detoxification magic? I'd like to know. Is it because you used the three magics earlier that the madame's condition has improved?

"Wait a minute! I can't answer so many questions at once ..."

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me ..."

"This girl is aiming to be a holy attribute healer. I had some famous practitioners from the royal capital come to see me, but it didn't have such a dramatic effect. It's her first time seeing such magic. It's natural that the girl's interested and wants to hear a lot, so please don't get angry. "

"I won't get angry over this. Do you know that water-based magic is more effective than holy attribute magic for illnesses?"

"Yes. I learned at school that holy attributes are effective for injuries and water-based recovery magic is more effective for illnesses."

Apparently, this girl is a graduate of the knight academy's magic department.

"Then, do you know why water-based recovery magic is more effective against illness than holy-based healing magic?"

"... no, I don't know. I didn't learn that kind of thing."

"This is because the main component of the human body is water. 70% of the human body is water."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. That's why the water system is more effective against illness. Since the holy attribute is a miraculous thing of God, it is more effective against injuries and has fewer aftereffects after complete healing, but it's a burden to the body. And if you don't understand the characteristics of the disease correctly and tell God exactly what you want, the miracle of God will not occur, so the effect on the disease will be diminished. "

"The Kingdom of Wolg is this much more advanced in magical knowledge than the Kingdom of Forel!?"

Rather than the Kingdom of Wolg, this knowledge came from the gardener old man.

Luke didn't study with his tutor, but he learned a lot of knowledge about healers such as pharmacy, alchemy, and recovery magic from his gardener teacher.

When he was six years old, he was injured while playing with his fiancé Lulu in the garden, at that time, the old gardener, healed him in the blink of an eye with beginner recovery magic.

Luke, who was so intrigued, would every day go to this old man and ask him to take him as a disciple.

Actually, this old man ... wasn't just a gardener, but a famous elf pharmacist who lived in the royal castle because he wanted to use our greenhouse facility to study pharmacy.

However, only a few people knew about it,  Luke was required to keep it a secret as a condition for being his disciple.

Well, I don't have to say all the details ...

"The detoxification magic of [Aqua Cure] has various effects when applied with the image of discharging bad things from the body."

In fact, this detoxification magic eliminated tubercle bacilli to some extent. This area is knowledge that even Luke's master doesn't know.

I feel like I can do great things by using modern medicine and modern science with magic, but unfortunately, I don't have that deep a knowledge. Most of what I know is only broad and shallow.

Everyone knows that LED lights have long life, low fuel consumption, and impact resistance, but most people can't explain in detail how they work. I have only that much knowledge, so it's impossible to build trains and cars in this world. Moreover, I couldn't help here because I only knew that antibiotics were made from mold.

"Is that so ... Thank you! I learned a lot! Um ... I'd like to learn more about magic, but is it fine?"

"It's fine, but I don't have enough knowledge to teach others ..."

"That's not the case! You're amazing! Because of you madame has improved so much! Even when the Pope visited us a while ago, it wasn't as effective as this. ! "

Oh, maybe I've done a little too much?

"♪ No problem at all. Can't the Master just leave it alone? 』\

"That's right ... I don't have the heroic temperament of" I'll save everything! ", But if there are people in front of me who are dying or suffering, I want to cure them."

While I was talking to the maid and the madame, the Duke of Forest and my brother came ...

"Oh! ... I'm very sorry, Your Highness Luke ... I called for them."

Apparently, the duke was contacted when I broke into the room ...

"What are you doing? I told you that my wife's illness is contagious."

Wow, he's really angry, there's a blue line across his forehead ...

"♪ He seems to think that the stupid prince was curious and forcibly broke into his wifes room who was sick and sleeping."

"He just cast a healing spell on me. It's been so effective that I feel better than before. The fever has dropped and the cough that was so bad is gone like a lie. I'm wondering if I'm already cured. "

"Unfortunately you haven't been cured completely, but I can cure it if I have time."

"""eh?"""

"That can't be! My wife's illness is labor cough! It is not a curable illness!"

"Dear...so that was the case ..."

"Oh ... shit! I kept it secret from my wife!"

"No, why are you staring at me? Isn't it father-in-law who let it slip!"

"I don't want you to call me father!"

"Eh ~~~! I was called by you to come to this country, right?"

"Luke ... you're a troublemaker wherever you go ..."

"This time, It's not my fault!"

"Still, can you really cure my wife's illness? It's not so prevalent in Wolg, but it's said to be an incurable illness."

"Yes ... It will be cured if I perform the same procedure every day for about 10 days ... Duke Guile, how about going to the knight academy after completely curing mother-in-law's illness?"

"Can it really be cured? Even the Pope couldn't cure it?"

"I can't say that it can always be cured, but maybe it can still be cured now. The disease progresses over time, so it's too late to leave it alone ..."

The Duke of Guile was a little worried, but he told me about his future plans.

"There was a reason why you came here in a hurry ... Did you hear about it?"

"I just heard that there is something in the knight academy curriculum that needs to be rushed."

"Yes, you are supposed to attend the magic department of the knight academy, but the school is currently in the mid-term exam. And shortly after the test, the magic department has something called a "Demon Summoning Ceremony". "

"Are they summoning a servant?"

"Luke, we at the Dragoon School already have a servant contract with a Drake, so we didn't need a summoning ceremony."

"The summoning ceremony's in five days. Everyone is supposed to participate in it, so I asked you to come in a hurry."

"Is it no good at a later date?"

"It seems that there are restrictions on star alignments and time, so the summons can only be done at a fixed time on a fixed day once a year. The summon is in the temple that has the same cycle, so it can't be held at a later date. "

"I see ... But what if an unusable demon beast is summoned? Do I have to sign a servant contract even if I can't use it?"

"If an unusable demon beast comes, you can return it without making a contract."

Since there is only one chance a year, "Summoning Ceremony" seems to be a little event.
