People that could use it?”
“Isn’t that the magic used by the Great Tamer from legend? I have heard about it at church!”
…I’ve never heard about that .
Maybe I could learn about the other Tamer skills as well .
“This legend . Where can I hear more about it?”
“Hmm . It was a long time ago, so I am not sure . It wasn’t in this town, that’s for sure…”
I might be able to find out if I could ask Father Shtyle .
There was something very odd about that priest . But he seemed to know a lot .
I had a feeling that we would meet again . So I would ask him when the time came .
I thought about this as I tried to take out the firewood .
But before I could, the door to the guild opened loudly .
“Is the guild doctor here!?”
A man shouted as he frantically ran inside .
It seemed like someone was sick .
The guild had a doctor to treat Adventurers who came back from quests . So he probably came to fetch that doctor .
…And since he was in a hurry, my business would have to wait .
“The Pharmacist has gone out to treat other sick people . What happened?”
“The entire Zyce family have fallen! They are breathing and they aren’t pale or anything . But they are unconscious!”
The situation seemed really bad .
If they weren’t pale but were unconscious, and it was the entire family… The most obvious explanation would be carbon monoxide poisoning .
I once heard that your face actually looks more healthy after carbon monoxide poisoning .
Aside from that, the town was currently suffering from firewood shortages, which led to burning a lot of firewood that was of bad quality .
“…Were they perhaps burning firewood in a sealed room?”
“Yes . Not just Zyce, but every house in Rikardo is burning firewood . What about it?”
“I think I know why they are sick . ”
The receptionist looked surprised by this .
“Uhh… Mister Yuji . Are you a doctor?”
“I’m not a doctor, but I know about sicknesses . And I can also use recovery magic . I don’t know if it will work, but shouldn’t I try it?”
“Ye-yes! …Where are Zyce and the others?”
“It seemed like the air in the house was bad, so I took them outside!”
That was a good decision .
It seemed like they didn’t know about carbon monoxide poisoning in this world, but they could at least tell when there was something odd about the air .
“Got it . I’ll go at once!”
And with that, I ran after the man .
We soon reached an area where a couple in their thirties and a child was laid out on a mattress over the ground .
Some neighbors had come out to watch . They looked very concerned .
“Hey, what happened here!?”
“The doctor will be here soon! Don’t give up!”
But…the people on the ground were clearly unconscious .
The cries of the villagers did not reach them .
“There’s no doctor . But I brought someone who can use recovery magic!”
The man who led me here shouted .
The others did not seem very comforted by this .
“There wasn’t an actual doctor?”
“There is no point in using recovery magic on someone who is sick!”
“…Really?”
I didn’t know that .
While I had recovery magic, it wasn’t something I used much at all .
“are you really going to let him do this…?”
It seemed that I had made them anxious .
Well, it wasn’t too surprising . I had said I was going to treat them with recovery magic . But I didn’t even know anything about recovery magic .
Still, I looked through my list of skills…and found something called ‘Cure Poison . ’
It was magic to treat people who had been poisoned .
That seemed perfect for this situation .
“Cure Poison . ”
And so I tried using it on all three patients .
And then…their faces turned a little less red .
As people who had gotten Carbon Monoxide Poisoning were supposed to turn red, this seemed like a positive thing .
So the poisoning aspect had probably been resolved now .
The only thing left to do was to have them regain the lost energy .
Normal recovery magic should be enough .
“High Heal . ”
Normal Heal seemed like it would not be enough for someone that was unconscious, and so I used the advanced one .
My MP went down, but not by much .
I chanted out loud on purpose . If I was using magic on patients, I thought the others would like to know what I was using .
And then…
“Huh?”
“Why am I…”
The three of them regained consciousness .
So High Heal had worked after all .
