155 Allen Cell and Political Marriage [6]





 Kemmy finished preparing the machine and spoke into the microphone at hand.

We will now begin our research into counter-curses. Please bring in the 'first' person.

 Immediately after that, the door of the room slowly opened and a pair of holy knights brought in a stretcher.

 They placed the gurney with the patient on the examination table and immediately began to explain.

This is Mr. Gwynne-Arnold, age sixty-five. He is 65 years old. He has been affected by the 'curse of erosion' that slowly deprives him of the freedom of his limbs over a long period of time. She is taking strong painkillers every day because of the burning pain that affects her whole body. Recently, however, the effects of the painkillers have been diminishing, and I am told that today and tomorrow will be the last day of my life.

"I developed the disease in the summer of my thirty-fifth year. I was bitten on my right arm by a hexenbiest while working as a mage. After that, the red and black pattern spread from my right arm to my whole body. Now, thirty years later, he can't even look up, let alone walk on his own.

 After explaining Gwynne's condition, the holy knight handed Kemmy a thick stack of papers from his pocket.

He handed Kemmy a thick bundle of papers from his pocket, "More detailed information is in this document. If you would like to use it, please do.

Thank you.

 Thank you." As she said this, she read through the document at a frightening pace.

"I see, I see, 'The Curse of Erosion' out of the blue: ....... This is another strong one. ......

 With a difficult expression on his face, Kemmy alternately stared at Gwynn and the document.

 It seems that the curse placed on him is quite heavy.

"Well, then, Mr. Allen. I've already made all the preparations, so please begin the treatment. I would like to remind you that ......, as I said before, this research is an endurance battle. Please keep the amount of darkness you use to a minimum, okay?

 She said, looking into a huge microscope-like machine.

"Yes, I understand. --If you'll excuse me for a moment, Mr. Guinn.

 I said no, and then put my hands on his clothes.
 A reddish-black pattern appears where the curse has been placed.
 I don't know the logic behind it, but ...... anyway, if you put darkness around it, the curse will be lifted in an instant.

 You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

This is .......

 There was a reddish-black pattern all over the place.
 The right arm that had been bitten by the hexenbiest was completely stained red and black.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

(I didn't expect it to be this bad,.......)

 When I was at a loss for words.

I'm not sure what to say. Can I really be cured ......?

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one.

 As if clinging to hope, as if reaching for an unreliable straw, he stretches out his left hand, which is still under the curse, towards you.

 I tightened my grip on his hand.

"Please don't worry. I'll definitely heal you.

 This darkness could not even keep out the curse of the Demon Race.
 If it was the curse of a hexenbiest, a subspecies of the demon race, it should be able to cure even the most serious symptoms.

I'll start then.

 I focused my consciousness and let the darkness surround Gwynn's entire body.
 It's thin and soft, like it's erasing something bad.

 Then - the reddish-black skin returned to its original beauty in no time.

"Ho, ho, ho, ......!

 Kemmy, who was observing the scene through the machine, shouted with interest.

 I looked at him and called out to Gwynne.

The curse has been successfully lifted. ...... How are you feeling?

 And then.

"Oh ......, it's moving ......, it's moving ......!

 He lay down (・・・・) on the examination table (・・・・・) and moved his right arm.

(......I guess I can't stand up after all.)

 Because he has been bedridden for so many years, it seems that all the muscles in his body are severely weakened.
 The only thing I can do about this is to do rehabilitation and strengthen my muscles.

It's amazing ......! My arms, my fingers, my legs,......, my body,......, my body moves,......!

 But still - it was obvious to everyone that he was filled with tremendous joy.

 And then.

"Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. ......

 Kemmy looked away from the microscopic machine and began to ponder.

"What did you think of ......? Did you find out anything?

"No, I don't know anything yet, that's for sure. But I did see something very (...) interesting (・・・・・).

Something interesting, ......?

Yes. The moment the curse was lifted, the reddish-black pattern looked as if it had destroyed itself (・・・・・・) to avoid (・・・・・) Allen's (・・・・・・) darkness.... ...

"Avoiding my darkness, ......?

Yes, that was a very interesting response. Next, I'm going to use a different machine to find out more about the reaction of the surface cells of the skin.

 She called out to the pair of holy knights as she operated another machine.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to need you to take care of 'number two' next.



"Ha!

 They moved quickly and tried to carry Mr. Guinn out on a stretcher.

 At that moment.

"Wait a minute!

 Mr. Guinn suddenly shouted loudly.

"What's wrong? Does it still hurt anywhere?

No, I'm fine. ......! No, I'm fine. ...... No, I mean, Dr. ......, uh, can you tell me your name ......?

 He asked me my name in an uncanny way.

"Well, let's see. ....... It's Allen-Rhoddle.

Mr. Allen-Rhoddle, right? ....... I'll never forget that name. ...... Thank you, you're a great guy. ...... Thank you so, so much. ......!

 Gwynne, who had been tormented by the curse for years, expressed her sincere gratitude.

I'm so glad you're feeling better. Good luck with your rehabilitation.

 When I said that, he smiled happily.

He smiled happily as I said, "I'll definitely repay you for this huge favor someday. ......! You'll just have to wait and see. ......!

"Yes, I'll be looking forward to that time.

 And so the healthy body of Mr. Gwynn was carried out of the room.
