Chapter 175 – Stopped Footsteps.

“…I don’t remember asking for anything like that.”

After silence, the girl tilted her head and replied.

“No, you don’t have to take it so seriously.”

He muttered as if he was embarrassed, and clicked his tongue when he saw the alley where three people were lying down. Although he knocked one down.

“Helena.”

As the girl approached her Helena and examined her condition, he also approached her. There was a big bruise on Helena’s neck that looked like her handprint.

“Her neck bone is fine and the marks seem to remain for a long time, but if you apply the medicine well, there will be no problems. Rather, you should start with your clothes.”
“But I have no clothes.”

Belka was barely wearing her underwear because the harpy had ripped her clothes off with force.

“I don’t know what kind of ignorant he is, but he boasted of his strength.”

He checked the piece of blouse lying on the ground and shook his head.

“Then, which guys are the problem and who should I take care of?”
“Take care of Helena. There’s a place I need to drop by.”
“Let’s see if the sick guy is somewhere else.”
“Huh.”

He looked back at those who had fallen to look at her girl again as he tried to pick up Helena.

“This guy’s clothes must be suitable.”

He took off Jude’s robe and gave it to Belka.

“Even if it’s a bit embarrassing, just wear it for a while. Wouldn’t it be better than leaving as it is?”

After confirming that she was putting on her robe, he put Helena on his back and hugged her Belka.

“Even if I leave you alone…”
“I’m sure I will. Getting rid of magic with a witch’s body must be more painful than I thought.”

The girl reluctantly stopped by him. As she stepped out of the alley, all eyes were on her for a moment, but Belka’s larger robe covered her face, so she was able to walk the streets without attracting more attention.

“So you’re looking for medicine?”

At his quiet words, Belka nodded her head. When he bought her de Bayaka in the name of cooking for her Jude. He remembered the money bag he had held out to him for the check. I could have just given the money, but the girl’s behavior of giving me the money bag was strange. Inside the purse was not only a silver coin worth Devayaka’s money, but also a small note. I couldn’t check right away because it was in a folded state, but I read the contents of the note right after they left.

“Hmm, well I found it.”

The note said that he was looking for a medicine for the black throat and wanted to meet him separately.

“Because Dvyaka doesn’t seem to be caught in the waterways.”
“So you noticed I was going out of town.”

Unlike Tebra Nina de Vayaka, which is used for food or medicine, it would be hard for non-locals to notice that the swimmers who swim in the waterway have absolutely nothing to eat, but she knew it well and asked him.

“But why?”
“What do you mean?”
“The meeting place wasn’t there.”
“It’s not like that.”

However, the meeting place on the note was further away than the alley. That’s why Belka wondered why he had come to that alley.

“Because you looked so desperate. There wouldn’t be any problem cheating on a kid in love.”

There’s no way a person who is in the middle of a relationship with a loved one desperately kills his face and finds something. The girl shut her mouth at the words that came through her old cloth.

“Is that the inn?”
“Huh.”
“It’s a fairly expensive inn, of course. You can get out with the patient and your luggage, but it’s going to be difficult right now to bring a wagon.”
“It’s okay. Saving Usher comes first.”

He turned to the side of the inn, measured the wall of the inn, kicked off the ground, and stepped over the wall. It was hard to believe that he was carrying a girl on his back, but he didn’t stop and got as close as possible to the wall of the inn.

“First, go to the carriage.”

There was only one wagon at the location Belka pointed at, so there was no need to find it complicated.

– Kuruk!

He stays still when he sees Belka and Helena there, although Hilddisviny is wary of him. And inside the wagon that entered.

-Hee hee!
“Eh? What do you mean?”

A horse greets them as if they were waiting for them with a haystack piled inside. Watching him curiously, Belka looked around in her luggage and took out a bottle and brought it.

“Put Helena down.”

When he laid Helena on her back on the bed in the carriage, the girl sprinkled the green powder from the bottle. At the same time, he marveled at the large bruises left on her neck that had been touched by the green powder.

“Mumiyara. It seems like you’re seeing everything that’s hard to see today.”
“Cough! Miss? And… You?”

At the same time, Helena comes to her senses. She coughs as an aftereffect of being strangled by Jude, but she soon regains her stability and she sees Belka and him.

“I’ll explain the whole situation later. Do you know how to drive Hildis Beanie?”
“Great, yes.”

She could have been suspicious, but Helena let her guard down a little at the sight of Belka, who didn’t look like she was in any trouble.

“How much money did you pay for the inn?”
“You must have paid for your accommodation in advance by today.”

Jude had paid a lot of money a few days in advance, but Helena was sure he was paying more as he stayed longer than expected.

“It’s just fine. You don’t have to abandon the carriage. Quickly pack up the patient and your luggage. Let’s make an excuse that we’re leaving.”
“All right.”

Helena said she hadn’t woken up in a while and she got up to dust off her seat.

“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I will bring Usher to you soon.”

She responded to Belka’s concerns with a smile and quickly entered the inn and carried Usher out. She wasn’t even carrying her luggage.

“Isn’t it too hasty to come out? It wouldn’t be a problem if I packed my luggage.”
“In the first place, our real stuff didn’t even get off at the inn.”
“Hmm, you’re thorough.”

After Helena took Usher out and left her word at her inn that she was going out with Jude, they were able to drive out with confidence.

“Where can I drive the wagon?”
“The height doesn’t matter. Let’s go southeast, so we can go down there.”

She asked as she drove the carriage at his word.

“Isn’t Parz where the richer people go down?”
“It’s usually like that. But Parz isn’t all here. There’s a big door on the way, stop the wagon there.”

And on the wall we reached, there was a really big door with guards. Since Parz is a hollow terrain, it must be underground beyond that.

“I’ll take care of the inspection, so hold on to the reins.”

Helena wondered how he would solve the check.

“Stop. What are you trying to do outside?”
“Hey, George. You’re working hard today too.”
“Kek! Is that you?”

She quietly overheard their conversation, holding the reins. It was a little hard to think because I was fainting for a while, but I couldn’t afford to be vigilant.

“Could it be that again?”
“That’s right. From what I’ve heard, it seems that the inexperienced catsy couldn’t control it and infected the wrong person.”
“Tsk, that’s it. Let’s go. Don’t forget to pay the fare.”
“Yes, yes.”

Their conversation was nothing grandiose. His friendly conversation with the Caitsy guards made it clear that this wasn’t the first time he’d done something like this. After he finished talking to the guards, they were able to get through the door really smoothly.

“Does this happen often?”
“Not often, but sometimes.”

For this reason, it is said that there are people who take such sick people to the outskirts where there is a cure.

“It’s easier than you think to spot a guy doing this. Just find a guy with an old cloth rolled up like me and he’ll take you to the outskirts for a fee.”

Helena realized Jude didn’t really intend to heal Usher from what he said. She used to think so too, but when she heard it like this, she was convinced. If he had lived here originally, she would have known he was the one who did this, but she had never expressed it to them. After passing through the thick tunnel-like door, Helena soon saw another city.

“It’s not just Parz inside. It actually feels like a place of exile or a slum, but it’s Parz, including here.”

Unlike the interior, which was virtually blocked off by walls because it was land on all sides, it was open. Looking towards the gate through which they had passed, there was a long line of white cliffs, like the walls of Lantua. Where she thought she was underground, there was another above ground. The place where she continued to be guided by him was indeed a small dugout built on the border between the village and the outside.

“Are you saying there’s a doctor here?”

I wondered if six people could barely fit into a small dugout built with a crude tent made of animal skins as its frame.

“Don’t worry because my skills are certain. I’m a pagan.”
“From my point of view, you are a heretic!”

As if his words could be heard inside the hut, someone broke through the hut and shouted. But then, when she saw the figure of the revealed one, even Helena, who had no particular religion she worshiped, could understand his words. That’s right, the bone armor-like clothes made by weaving bones with leather threads over the pale skin, the animal’s head bones that half-covered the eyes like a hat on top of the head, and the staff with many bones in the hand tied together were pagans to anyone’s eyes.

“Anyway, it’s an urgent patient, so please see it quickly. Jeremiah.”
“Are you blacknecks again?”
“It’s always like that.”
“Ha, those bastards spread the disease every single day.”

He motioned for me to come in, even as he said he was fed up.

“Can I entrust treatment to this heretic?”

Helena doesn’t want to go in, so she asks him.

“He’s a cultist, but he’s not a cultist. That’s enough.”
“…Okay.”

When he carried Usher on his back and they followed him into the dugout, the light coming in from the outside revealed a brighter interior than expected. It was full of what appeared to be all sorts of ceremonial tools, but in between, Helena could find quite specialized medical tools. When Helena was relieved she said that.

“Krikaliev. Who are you bringing?”

Jeremiah, who said he was treating Usher, said with a firm expression. Krikaliev was apparently the name of the man who had brought them here. However, Helena had no choice but to be wary of him because his eyes were looking at Belka. He is wary of harming the girl.

“No, it’s not something I would listen to. Lay the patient on this side. I need to see the condition and inject the medicine.”

He murmured something incomprehensible, and as if coming to his senses, he tapped the leather spread on the floor and told him to let go of the patient. As Krikaliev lays Usher down, he lifts his clothes and examines his condition.

“If it was a little later, it would have been dangerous.”

Hearing his words, she tightened Belka’s hand, which was holding Helena’s collar. If he hadn’t been able to make contact with Krikaliev, he would have had to get stuck and lose Usher.

“But something is strange. Black throat disease would kill the infected in a short period of time, but it seems that this condition has been suffering for a long time. Was the incubation period particularly long?”

Helena said she wondered at his words.

“Has the inhibitor been the problem?”
“An inhibitor? When did this guy get sick?”
“It will be a little over two months.”

Jeremiah admired her words, and she said strangely.

“Having an inhibitor is great, but it would have been quicker to get a cure in the meantime?”
“…We’re from Lantua.”
“What?! Did you cross the Cloud Zone?!”

He cried out in excitement, and Krikaliev, who had brought them along, calmed him down.

“Find out what you’re curious about later and treat the patient first. Still, what’s the point of leaving a patient alone by a guy who claims to be a doctor?”
“Grunt, that’s right.”

He then picked a bottle he had taken out from somewhere, filled the syringe with the contents, and injected it into Usher’s arm. That would have been all. That was all.

“I’ll be robbing myself in a few days from now.”
“Are you sure it’s over?”
“Yes, blackneck disease is more like a poison than a disease, so it won’t be a problem if you get an inhibitor. As long as you get the cure in time.”

Helena couldn’t help but open her mouth. When she opened her mouth, she felt like she would spit out a feeling of desolation that filled her stomach. Even though she must have been happy.
