~Alicia’s Perspective~

　When I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate, I noticed that there was no longer feeling tense.

　I found out the intentions behind Kaoru-sama’s actions.

　He knows me better than I do.

　Then, my body becomes warm and fluffy.

　I, myself don’t know how to relieve my own tension.

　Even if I was nervous, it could have disappeared after everything was over.

　Though, I might only notice it when it disappears naturally.

“Can you hear your heartbeat?”

“Yes…” (Alicia)

“Then, with the amount of MP to cast [Minor Injury Recovery – Cure], try to imagine it wrapping your body.”

“I got it.” (Alicia)

~Kaoru’s Prespective~

　When Alicia says this, a thin pale film is formed over her body.

　Quite fluffy and unstable.

　Diara-san said something like this too.

　But I plan on teaching her my way.

“Open your eyes slowly”

“It’s amazing. You can see something like steam swaying.” (Alicia)

“Yes, keep it as it is without losing focus.”

　Alicia stares at me, with her eyes shining.

　Perhaps she was easily influenced by her emotions, Alicia’s magical power soon became extremely unstable.

　It shakes wildly and there is a lot of unevenness in the area on her fingers.

“Ugh. Kaoru-sama, this is a little difficult.” (Alicia)

“It seems that you can’t control it so easily, so we have to learn it slow and steady.”

“Okay.” (Alicia)

　Alicia tries her best to control her MP.

　However, when you are conscious of a part of your body, the amount of magic power that surrounds that part becomes larger.

　Alicia puffed up her cheeks.

　But I gently stroked her head and said.

“For the first time, I think the shape is ok.”

“Really?” (Alicia)

“It is normal to not be able to do it the first time.”

“Oh, really? Teehee, okay, I’ll keep doing my best more and more.” (Alicia)

　I knew that Alicia was the type of person who would learn better with praise, so I decided to teach her in this manner.

　Alicia sat on a chair with her whole body covered with MP and concentrated.

　As I watched her, I somehow understood why Diarra-san had taught me knowledge of MP control.

　I then began to wonder if one of the abilities of [Evil Eye] was to see the future.

　It was a little annoying to feel like I am dancing in the palm of Diarra-san’s hand, but I am still glad that she taught me this knowledge.

　I turned to my desk and began to work quietly so as not to disturb Alicia’s training.

“Now, I should investigate this one too.”

　I then begin to investigate the Pine Bacteria (Pine Syndrome).

　The fact that Pink Rabbi is infected with this bacteria means that the pathogens are within this area.

　For the time being, I open my status screen. Then I began the analysis of the Pine Bacteria.

When [Analysis] is used, the display appears.

[Pine Bacteria (Pine syndrome)]

・ Incubation period: 1 to 4 days

・ Transmission route: oral infection

・ Symptoms: infected animals are subjected to dehydration and fatigue.

It is non-lethal.

Currently, does not infect humans, but it does infect demihumans.

Symptoms basic symptoms are similar to animals but additional symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting may occur.

The progress of the disease is short.

There is also a risk of other complications.

“So, I will start here.”

　I cast multiple [Analysis].

　Then, specific detailed details appear.

[Pine bacteria (Pine syndrome)]

　・ Source of Infection: Sahuagin corpse, Rairai grass, Potokuru fruit

　・ Pathogens, pine bacteria

　・ Oral infection, droplet infection

　・ Growth temperature, 30-40 ℃

　The temperature at which growth is best is 36 ° C, which is the same as the average temperature of humans and ordinary people.

　Therefore, when a person develops this, it progresses quickly.

　・ Characteristics: When parasitized in the body, it releases toxins in the body.

　・ Main symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, sometimes abdominal pain, and fever

　Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances cause secondary acute renal failure, shock, and severe arrhythmias.

“Sahuagin, Rairai grass, Potokuru fruit …”

　In the labyrinth, it was among the monsters that I fought, but I think it’s unlikely to become a source of infection.

　The reason is that, like Carl, demihumans go back and forth in the labyrinth multiple times, but that is not the case at all.

　It doesn’t matter when the infection would occur, but it’s here yet, so I’ll put it on the back burner.

　And none of the patients who come to me for treatment have none of the Pine bacteria yet.

　I think that there may be some oversights, and so I examine the patients a little more during the evening treatment,

　Rairai grass and potokuru fruits are endemic to Vista island, but they are rarely used for food.

　Therefore, it can be said that this is not the case for now.

　For me, it was just a part of the treatment.

　However, the most troublesome thing is that the pink rabbi is infected.

　There is a high risk of infection to the people here.

　Pink Rabbi is considered an animal with a cute appearance and is considered to bring happiness.

　A chance encounter is extremely low, but it cannot be said that it is impossible to encounter.

　It’s been a long time since I came to this island, but we saw it for the first time yesterday.

　As I saw from Alicia’s excitement, there will always be someone who will want to touch it.

　If it infects the people from that point, it is possible that all the people on this island will receive the secondary infection.

　This is just the worst development.

　I immediately begin synthesizing the drug, as a precaution. Since I need to prevent this from happening.

　I use [Alaysis] on the Pine bacteria and I write down the ingredients for the drug.

[Rumble Drops]

　・ Ingredients: [Carminal]

　・ Characteristics: stops the growth of Pine bacteria and kills it.

　・ Side effects: None

　・ Compounding Method: use [DolI Ice Crystal] and [Thunder Crystal Water].

[Doll Ice Crystal] has to be powdered and dissolved in [Thunder Crystal Water].

　Bring it to a boil and cool it all at once.

　By doing so, [Carminal] will precipitate.

　If it is chilled and stored in a cool dark room for about 12 hours, it will solidify enough to the point where it can be used as a medicine.

“Hmm… It’s an antibiotic, I don’t know much about antibiotics.”

　I gave up on the general mass production the moment I analyzed [Doll Ice Crystal] and [Thunder Crystal Water].

[Doll Ice Crystal]

　・ Source: Abyssal Labyrinth, Alstead, Northern Land

　・ Drop Monster: Doll Ice

　・ Additional Information: Doll Ice is confirmed to spawn on the lower 50th floor in the Abyssal Labyrinth.

　Also, it is confirmed to wander the mountains of Alstead, the Northern Land famous for their extremely cold regions.

[Thunder Crystal Water]

　・ Source: Thrid Light, City of the Thunder God

　・ Drop Monster: Snakehead

　・ Additional Information: Snakeheads appear in shallow levels.

“Finding Doll Ice is going to be troublesome”
