“Hmm. If it’s a horse riding battle, it would be better to take part in the training of the Kingdom Knights. Arrange to take part in the training through Tau Road.
After all, the battle for riding is probably the knight’s duty.
“Speaking of which, there was a strange sick person in Karce’s hometown…”
“Um. That’s right… This is just from a report I heard from the local priest…”
With that in mind, Giuseppe tells Tatsumi his thoughts.
“…It seems that one day, one of his sick people suddenly stopped moving. People are calling it the “Branch disease,” which has similar symptoms to what the sick people are experiencing, but I feel that it may be something different.”
As its name suggests, the “branch disease” is a disease in which limbs dry out and become immobile like branches.
This is caused by the imbalance between the power of spirits in the body and the weakening of the power of the water spirits at the ends of the body.
In the past, it was a disease of unknown cause, but it was not a life-threatening disease. It was said that it was some kind of curse.
However, when Ell visited this world and a user of spirit magic appeared, they were able to find a cure, which was to balance out the spirits again.
Although there only a few spirit magic users left, it is no longer an incurable disease, but apparently Giuseppe thinks that the sick person in question does not have the “branch disease”.
“…I haven’t seen the symptom directly, so I can’t say what’s clear, but I don’t think it’s from the “branch disease.”
“If you don’t think… what’s wrong?”
“This is just a guess… I think that a monster may be involved.”
“A demon beast…?”
“Some monsters can turn other people’s bodies into stones. They also various other abilities. This time, this monster has special abilities as well. Of course, I’m not familiar with all the illnesses in the world, so there is a possibility that I’m not familiar with it.”
If the beasts were the cause, there could be other sick people with the same symptoms-no, victims. Maybe it’s already out there.
If Giuseppe’s guess is correct, new victims will continue to increase unless the demon beast is defeated.
“If the monster is actually the cause, exterminate the monster immediately. If you and Karse are unable to defeat it, you may hire a monster hunters locally. Please consult and deal with it quickly.
“I know.”
In this way, Tatsumi, who received a direct order from the Supreme Priest, will set out on the royal capital a few days later with Chalcedonia and Jolt.
The destination is the city of Toga, the royal territory. The village of La Guine, the birthplace of Chalcedonia.
