An hour after Mr. Kemmy started his research.

"Mmm-hmm. ....... Hmmm... ......... I've found it. ...... I've finally found it!

　She shouted as she held a test tube high in the sky.

I've found it. ......?

"A cure for the curse?

　Leah and I immediately asked.

"Yes!　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.　That's right, ...... Let's call them 'Allen cells' for convenience.

　Mr. Kemeny began to talk about his great discovery in an almost frenzied mood.

I was convinced that this was it. I was so convinced that this was it that I immediately began to verify it. I applied Allen cells to the reddish-black, cursed skin tissue donated by a patient. The result was a hit after hit after hit of ......!　The curse was lifted in no time at all!

　The curse was instantly lifted!

The curse was quickly lifted.

　She pointed to the ointment on her desk.

This is the first prototype of an anti-inflammatory ointment containing Allen cells!　Let's try it on the next patient as soon as possible!

"You're going to try this on a human body?

Haha, it'll be fine. The Allen cells were completely harmless to the skin tissue. There is no adverse effect on the human body in the slightest!

　With that, she turned her attention to the large number of preparations on her desk.
　Apparently, she had already conducted various tests with the prototype.

"Oh, I see. ......!

The world's greatest medical doctor has said so much, so it must be okay.

"Hmm, the moment of the century is almost here, ......!

　Mr. Kemeny said, and invited the next patient in.

　Harold Larsen, eighty-five years old.
　He is a man who has been suffering from the "curse of powerlessness," which causes him to feel an intense fatigue throughout his body day and night.
　It seems that this was caused by a bite on his left leg by a hexenbiest while he was working on a farm about two years ago.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to .......

　I scooped the first prototype with a long cotton swab and applied it to his reddish-black left foot.

　The next moment, the reddish-black pattern disappeared in a flash, and the skin returned to its original state.

　For all intents and purposes, the curse had been lifted.
　The only question now is whether or not the weariness has actually left Mr. Harold's body.

"What do you think, ......?

　I asked fearfully.

"Oh, this is great, ......!　The languid feeling in my body just vanished!

　He smiled, full of energy.

He smiled, full of energy.

　The research was a success - the first prototype of the Allen cell blend seemed to be effective against the curse.

　Then, after Mr. Harold had left the room.

"Yay!　At last, at last, I've discovered a cure for the curse!　This is the greatest discovery in human history!

　Kemmy threw her hands up in the air and jumped around like a little child.

You did it, Mr. Kemmy!

Congratulations, Mr. Kemmy!

Thank you!　Thanks to the help of Allen and Leah, medicine has taken a very big step forward!

　After we had shared our joy with each other.

In the meantime, let's hurry up and report this to Tenshi-sama!　This will save many lives!

　I immediately stood up and was about to run out of the third laboratory.

　Then.

"Wait, wait, wait!

　Mr. Kemeny suddenly shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?

　As I rolled my eyes at her sudden action, she slowly opened her mouth with a very serious expression.

"Mr. Allen, can I talk to you for a minute at .......? No, I have something very important to tell you. ......

"What is it ......?

　I've never seen Kemmy with such a serious face before.

(What the hell are you talking about ......?

　A few seconds later, I gulped down my spit.

A few seconds after I swallowed my gulp, "Why don't we pretend that this study ...... failed?

　Mr. Kemeny said something outrageous.

"Uh, let's see, ......?

　To be honest, I had no idea what she was talking about.
　The research was a success.
　Mankind has defeated the curse.

　What does it mean to pretend that ...... it has failed?

The pharmaceutical market is ...... lucrative, to be honest. Patents for Allen cells, which are absolutely effective against curses, and new drugs based on them--these generate more money than a hundred million gold ......!

　She smiled darkly as she continued her story.

This "anti-cursing research" is being conducted as a national policy of the Leengard Empire. If we discover the Allen cells and the new drug here, ...... all the rights will become the property of Tenshi-sama. That's what the contract says.



　Kemmy said, and took out the "Pledge for Research on Counter-Cursing" from his pocket.

If we don't do something about it, we'll end up with a paltry sum of 100 million gold, despite having made the 'discovery of the century'. If that's the case, why don't we just pretend this research is a failure?　Then, at a later date, Mr. Allen and I can start another project and pretend that we discovered the Allen Cell by accident!　That way, all the rights would be mine - excuse me!　We'll both get the rights and a lot of money will come rolling in!　I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that.

It's a nauseating evil.

　It's really a nauseating evil.
　It's just a nauseating, evil, corrupt opinion that has no regard for the lives of those around it, just for its own benefit.

　It seems that she is not satisfied with the huge reward of "100 million golds" and is trying to get more money.
　She is a bundle of desires.
　No wonder Idra and the rest of the students at Shirayuri Academy have grown tired of her.

"...... Mr. Kemeny.

"Oh, Mr. Allen, ......!

I'm going to report you to Tenshi-sama, don't be silly.

　For those who have been tormented by the curse for so many years, this new drug is indeed a hope.

(If Mr. Kemeny has a patent on Allen cells, ......)

　(If Kemmy has the patent on Allen cells, he will be able to raise the price of the new drug at will and do whatever he wants for his own profit.
　We must prevent that from happening.

I'm sure they'll do whatever they want for their own profit. It is true that Allen's contribution to this study is very large: ....... I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one. So how about six to four for me and Allen-kun? ......!

　...... Apparently, this guy really doesn't know anything at all.

I'm not sure what to do. Shall we go to Tenshi-sama, Leah?

Yes, of course!

I don't know.　...... Okay, okay!　Half!　I'll split it exactly in half!

　After that, I dragged Kemmy, who was trying to round me up by any means possible, and took her to Tenshi-sama.
