Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku

18-24. Shooting star (1)

* This story is a spillover story about Chapter 10 of the main story.

One meteor has slipped through.

Because it was daytime, few people noticed it, and because it fell into a remote undeveloped land, it was hardly mentioned and was soon forgotten.

On the day of this event, we were unlucky enough to go underground and didn't know it.

If I had witnessed it, could I have prevented that disaster …?

◇

"Satou! We did it. "

That World Phone message arrived on the day I returned from the labyrinth after a long absence.

"I've wiped out the hundreds of jellyfish that have been aiming for the world tree with" Burugutomu Ai "! 』\

The sender is Mr. Kese, a high elf of the Brynan clan.

His creation, "Brugtom Ai" is an eye-catching pseudo-spirit developed by the Brynan clan that controls a super-range laser.

I also cooperated in the development, so I think he took the trouble to report the results of the battle.

"Congratulations on that"

"Um. This is also thanks to the scarecrow who discovered the approach of the jellyfish early. Thank you, Satou! 』\

Kakashi, a self-supporting golem, seems to have done his job properly.

Even so, today Kese is very excited.

It's like Sase from the rival Beliunan clan.

After that, while we were discussing future improvements to the jellyfish warning network with Mr. Kese, who was a little nervous, the communication was cut off.

"Is it over? It's not because of the tone, isn't it?"

"It's from Kese of the Brynan clan."

I told the curious Arisa and others about the story from Mr. Kese and returned to the mansion.

"--Shooting star?"

"Yes! Yesterday, it fell a lot in the northern sky!"

"Unlike the starry rain about half a year ago, it ended soon."

When I returned to the mansion, the little girl maid told me such a story.

While diving in the labyrinth, I'm very grateful because I'm ignorant of things on the ground.

"Arisa-chan! Nell's stalls are really popular!"

"It's a food stall, isn't it? I have a high confidence as an adviser."

"The new sweet, ant honey okonomiyaki is popular!"

"Well, then I'll treat you on your way home tomorrow."

"Really? I did it!"

A little maid jumps around Arisa and rejoices.

I can't imagine the taste of sweet okonomiyaki, but if you think of it as a hot cake or crepe, is it?

The information I got on this day was all mundane and soon buried in an exciting event in the labyrinth city of Serivilla.

It will be a while, before I am reminded of that day.

◇◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆◆

"Is the forest looking strange?"

"Well, there are many beasts that are only seen in the depths of the forest."

"Today I caught a green boar. I also caught a spotted deer, but I couldn't carry it, so I pickled it in a swamp. Please help this guy who wants to eat meat."

An incident occurred in a village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Norrowk.

It's a trivial event to call it an incident, but when you think about it later, it was a harbinger of revelation.

"What is the prey today?"

"Oh, today we have a big horn and a six-legged boar. It's about time we have more prey that is difficult to hunt."

"Okaku sells well, and the six-legged boar is delicious. If there aren't enough people, I'll send some young people."

"That might be good too."

Meat that could not be eaten here and now in the village was processed into dried meat.

"What about green boar?"

"I hunted that too, Gofe. There is also a deer."

"Well, the spotted deer isn't very delicious."

"For those who are fussy, only tendon meat is available."

Until now, the meat that had been in demand was so hunting only selected parts and types is out of the question.

"What happened to Gofei? He usually run up when I come back from hunting."

"Don't he get tired of sloppy meat?"

"No, it's unusual. He is sleeping with a fever."

"Well, I don't have Gofee be in bad health. I have a fresh liver, so take it from me."

"It's always bad"

"It’s good."

Gofei was a meat lover who was supposed to be cured overnight, but contrary to the villagers' expectations, he would lie down for a long time.

"Dried meat seems to be too much"

"If so, go to the city to sale it."

"It's about time for the merchants to come. Let's make some money for the first time in a while."

"What?"

The processed meat slightly exceeded what was needed for the winter, and the extras were carried by hawkers to various parts of the kingdom, providing villagers with considerable extra income.

An increasing number of villagers have fallen asleep due to an out-of-season epidemic, but thanks to this extra income, they were able to buy medicine.

"Village chief! Two young people were killed."

"Report at once! What attacked you? Is it a big eagle? Or is it a monster?"

"No, it's a spotted deer."

"Spotted Elk? Did an unskilled young man block the escape route?"

"No. A flock of deer has attacked."

"—Really? That timid deer?"

"Oh, isn't it strange? I've never heard such since my grandfather time. Where is the village mayor?"

"I wouldn't know what your clan, who have been hunters for generations, doesn't know."

"Do you want to take a break from hunting for a while?"

"That's right. I have enough meat. I have enough salt to make dried meat."

"The problem is--"

"Oh, the beast may come down the mountain. For a while, I'll set a trap around the foot of the mountain."

"As you say"

Fortunately, there was no raid on the village by the mountain beasts that the village chief and hunters were wary of, but the beasts trapped were rampaging.

"Did Gofei die?"

"Oh, he seems to have spit blood and died."

"Isn't it the usual epidemic?"

"I don't know. I have money this year, so let's go hire a priest or pharmacist from the city."

"That's right."

They didn't know.

The disease has begun to spread little by little in neighboring villages.

◆◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇◇

One day when the end of the year is approaching.

Princess Metia of the Kingdom of Norrow was visiting the Pendragon family, who were preparing to move from the labyrinth city of Serivilla to the royal capital.

"--Consultation?"

Princess Metia nodded with a serious expression on her young face.

"Um, a disease of unknown cause is widespread in the land."

"What kind of disease is it? Do you know the name of the disease?"

"I don't know. I sent a high-ranking priest, who have mastered medical techniques with the introduction of Mrs. Taishou, but he said he didn't even know the cause or even the name of the disease."

"Does the person with appraisal skills have the same answer?"

"Um, the assistant of the high priesthood had a high level of appraisal skills."

If the number of sick people is small, a panacea or a low-grade elixir can solve the problem, but if it is widespread throughout the country, it will be difficult.

"Symptomatology?"

"What kind of symptoms do patients have?"

Mia and Arisa, who were present to prevent cheating, ask Princess Metia.

"There are many things, but what they have in common is fever and hematoma. Details are written here."

Princess Metia's old maid hand me the documents.

It is a long-lasting fever, and if the symptoms worsen and blood is vomited, it seems that 100% surely the patient will die within the day.

Many people complained of rash, increased aggression, and drowsiness, and some complained of itching before developing internal bleeding.

"Did they eat something strange?"

"I don't know. It's not written on the documents, and since it was a good harvest last year, they shouldn't have to force themselves to consume something they're not used to eating."

"What happened?"

"The soldier who delivered the letter and documents said that the beast of the forest became more ferocious than usual. A mighty monster may have moved from the monster realm."

Princess Metia answers Arisa and Mia's questions.

I didn't expect the answer to be so detailed.

Princess Metia is a royal family, even if she looks young.

"I understand the situation."

We finished the interview and return to the residence.

Princess Metia looks at me with serious eyes.

"I'm not a disease expert and I can't put my friends at risk of infection."

"……Right"

Arisa and Mia said something, but I gloss over it with a wink.

"But an expert I know may have a clue. I think we can send him to the Kingdom of Norrow in the near future."

"Is it true ?!"

Well, the expert is myself in disguise.

I'm resistant to illness and the risk of infection is low, and the AR display on the menu is likely to reveal the type of illness.

Even if I can't identify the illness, I can ask the elves and gnomes who have a lot of expertise for help.

"Yes, I'll get in touch with you soon. I'll send a person named Hippocrates, so I'd appreciate it if you could write to give him a national license."

"Okay! I'll send it by carrier pigeon today!"

When Princess Metia said so, she forgot to say goodbye and rushed out of the room. The old maid apologized for disrespect on behalf of Princess Metia, saying, "Oh. Princess…” And chased after her while calling out.

"I was so happy for Metia."

"Hmm"

As Arisa and Mia had such a conversation, Princess Metia came out of the door again with a loud footsteps.

"Satou! Thank you for your help!"

Before I could respond with a smile, she disappears back into the corridor again.

It seems that she ran back, remembering on the way that she didn't thank me.

"Will we go too?"

"Hmm, I hope to accompany you"

"Do not do it"

Don't take it to a place where an unknown illness is widespread.

"Because I could get sick? That applies to darling as well."

"Not the same. I have disease resistance."

"Then I too--"

"Wait, Arisa"

I control Arisa, who is trying to gain momentum, by hand.

"First, I will go to the site and investigate."

"That's why it doesn't work! My darling's resistance isn't perfect, because the tree of disease resistance skills is not all inclusive."

That is my first time hearing that.

"I can bypass that. I used it in the void. Windshield Canopy With the magic of Survival. I'm going to use my skills together to maintain a sterile space. "

"contact"

"Yeah! Disinfection of hands was important to prevent flu! It's not always safe to be in a sterile space!"

Mia and Arisa are quite tough.

"Then, I'll put on the special clothes that the elves wore. If that's the case, it's for work in outer space, and there's no possibility of leak, right?"

The light void clothes worn by the golem pilots for the void wouldn't get in the way of their work.

"in that case--"

"Curse"

"--A curse?"

An unexpected word popped out from Mia.

"Maybe the cause of the illness is a curse?"

"Hmm, curse, curse illness … and many more."

Mia explained by adding words.

I see, even if you use modern knowledge to prevent epidemics, can you prevent that?

"I'll put the purification magic circle and runes used for the monument on the back of the void clothes. Then, isn't it safe?"

"……Hmm"

Mia is still worried, but she seems to be convinced.

"Arisa is okay with that too?"

"Yeah, that's right. If that's all-wait a minute."

Arisa was almost convinced, but she waited with a face that seemed to notice something.

"With that much equipment, we can accompany you too!"

"--Ah"

Oops.

If you look at that, it certainly is.

"Yeah! Well then, my darling! Thank you for procuring equipment!"

I loss to Arisa, but if they have that much equipment, I can take them with me.

I am the space magic " Far story telephone. I contacted the Boluenan Forest and asked them to procure void clothes for the number of people.

Surprisingly, it was in stock, so I was able to make a modification to incorporate the anti-curse magic circle within the day.

Well, it seems that we will arrive earlier than Princess Metia's letter, but we are is in a hurry, and let's head for the Kingdom of Norrowk at once.
