Episode 56. Home (2).
“Now it is your turn, Your Majesty.”
The healing potion was distributed to all the people of Whidin Village, and a few hours later, Chloris, who had personally seen its effectiveness, came to see Kael and said.
He was spending some leisurely time with his eyes closed on the branch of the largest tree in the village, when he opened his eyes at the sound of Cloris’s voice and looked down.
“You found my location very well.”
Cloris’s brow furrowed slightly at the sound of his voice, which seemed more like he was surprised that she had come looking for him than like he was saying, “It’s your turn.”
“Isn’t that the point?”
A voice that flows out bluntly.
When Kael first heard that voice, he shrugged, thinking that it sounded more like the woman he knew than the polite, common voice of a noble lady.
Have you had any change of heart?
He let go of the small question and came down from the tall tree with light movements and held out his hand to Cloris.
“Please give it to me.”
Cloris let out a small ‘huh’ at his confident yet somewhat arrogant appearance.
What he asks for is the recipe for the herbs that go into the medicine.
Kael waved his outstretched hand at the clear, sky-blue eyes that looked up at him as if in disbelief.
“Aren’t you going to be entrusting a large order of treatment medicine to Damie anyway? When you say it’s my turn, you probably mean that, and you were planning on handing over the recipe for that, weren’t you?”
There was nothing wrong with what he said.
The reason I came to see him. And the thing I had to give him.
Cloris unconsciously tightened her grip. She could clearly feel the paper with the recipe she had folded carefully in her hand being crumpled.
“you are….”
Rather, that’s why.
She felt her heart becoming more twisted.
Thanks to his help, I was able to complete the cure. Because he stepped forward, the commotion was resolved, and because of him, I was able to think more deeply about Mabel and come to a conclusion.
I received help and I am grateful to him. I knew that no amount of words would be enough.
But he always acts like a bystander or an audience member watching a play, as if he has nothing to do with what happens in this world.
Whenever she saw him like that, Cloris began to doubt whether what she was doing was worthless and even felt a sense of futility.
Me. We are struggling to save this world from destruction. You who live in this world. You who clearly exist in front of me, are acting as if you are not here?
“Young-ae?”
Kael’s call brought Chloris out of her thoughts.
“The recipe for the medicine is written here. Make it in bulk at the top of Damie and give it to people for free.”
“I guess it would be okay to sell it to nobles.”
“… I heard that Viscount Damier had more money than was in the Imperial treasury. I guess that was false information.”
Kael blinked slowly as he looked at the paper with the recipe written on it.
“That’s accurate information, but do I have to give it to someone just because I have a lot of money? It’s money I earned purely through my own ability and strength.”
“It wasn’t accomplished by your ability and strength alone.”
Kael responded in a calm and composed voice to the remark that the wealth of the Damie Counts had been accumulated over a long time.
“Well, if you want to think so, then think so.”
There was no need for further conversation. Cloris opened her mouth again after a moment of silence, as if she was too lazy to continue.
“I feel grateful to your Majesty for the great help I have received.”
“Not really.”
“Still, I don’t think I can like you, Your Majesty.”
A look of surprise flashed through Kael’s eyes at the words that followed, similar to Cloris’ confession.
It was only for a moment, but Cloris could read the emotions that passed through his eyes, and Kael snickered. He smiled faintly, like fog.
“That’s a relief.”
For the first time since she met him, Cloris could sense his true feelings.
Saying that you don’t think you can like yourself.
He said, with relief in his eyes and voice, that he was truly relieved. She stayed there for a long time after he left, saying he would pass on the recipe to the higher-ups.
Meanwhile, after teaching the recipe to the administrators of the Damier upper class throughout the empire through magic, Kael went to see the Emperor again.
The Emperor, who did not show any surprise when he saw Kael suddenly appear without any contact or news, simply smiled and greeted his familiar friend.
“I didn’t know you would come to me so quickly.”
– Bam.
Emperor. Instead of answering Bastian’s sly voice, Kael simply placed a bottle on his desk.
“What is this…?”
When Bastian asked curiously about the bottle placed on the table without any explanation, Kael said nonchalantly.
“Why is someone who said gloves were stuffy wearing gloves?”
As he said, Bastian was wearing black leather gloves on his hands both when he met him before and today.
“Tomorrow, we will distribute the healing medicine to everyone at the top of Damie. We will sell it to nobles for money, so please promote it.”
Kael, who had left only what he had to say, frowned as he looked at Bastian, who was blankly staring at him.
“You look too stupid to be called the Emperor right now. Anyway, I’m done with what I’m seeing. And I don’t want to be bothered by this anymore. Please leave out the Damie Sangdan and Damie Viscounts.”
“Is this a bribe?”
“If it is not a bribe, why should I give this to Your Majesty the Emperor?”
Kael replied with his characteristically blunt and indifferent voice, clicking his tongue lightly.
“I told you to keep it clean.”
He muttered as if he was talking to himself and disappeared in an instant. Left alone, Bastian looked at the bottle of pale purple liquid sitting on the desk and took off his gloves.
The tips of the strong fingers holding the bottle were stained black, as if they had been smeared with black ink.

Kael’s business.
No, to be exact, he and Damie’s superiors moved quickly. On the day the recipe was delivered, it seemed as if the Damie superiors in each branch of the empire had put all their manpower into making the cure potion.
They made enough medicine for all the people of the empire, and the next day, the staff at the top began distributing the healing medicine to the village where the branch was located and the surrounding villages.
The effectiveness of the medication varied depending on the severity of the condition. However, no matter how severe the condition was, people were able to recover completely within half a day without any side effects.
“Why don’t you give us medicine for free?”
“We got sick too!”
Of course, even in the midst of all this, there were some minor incidents where some nobles would argue with the employees who had demanded money from them under Kael’s orders.
?If there are any empty-headed nobles who question you, answer like this.?
Kael had told his employees in advance how to deal with the situation, and they repeated every word their boss had told them without a single mistake.
“We are simply following the instructions on how to mix the medicine at the top of our Dami, as requested by the person who placed the order. If you do not wish to purchase it, would you please step aside? We need to distribute the remaining medicine to someone else.”
“Do you know who I am!!!”
?Even if you say this, there will definitely be nobles who do evil deeds. When that happens, add this.?
“Oh, by the way, Count Damie has ordered that if you touch us or treat us rudely, we will immediately be blacklisted by the upper ranks of Damie.”
There was no nobleman who did not know the blacklist at the top of Damier.
If your name is on the blacklist at the top of Damie, you will not be able to use the top of Damie until your name is removed.
Not being able to use the Damier top, which was favored even by the emperor, meant that for the nobles, they could not participate in discussions about and use of trendy items or new Damier top products, and this was no different from being eliminated from the noble society, whether to a large or small extent.
“The medicine is not expensive. It only costs 1 gold coin.”
The claim that one gold coin is not expensive for medicine is nonsense.
“One gold coin for each of these small bottles…!”
“The medicine that will save the life of a nobleman costs only 1 gold coin. Isn’t that really cheap?”
Is your life worth less than 1 gold coin?
You’re a noble and don’t have even one gold coin?
Fortunately, there was no noble who did not know the hidden meaning behind those words, and all of them bought the medicine by paying 1 gold coin.
The plague that had terrorized the Empire for over a month had disappeared from the Empire without a trace.
It was the seventh day since the treatment medicine was distributed at the top of Damie.

When the epidemic has completely disappeared and the people of Whidin Village have returned to their daily lives as before, they are finally able to adapt again.
The entrance to Whidin Village was noisy from the morning.
“Mabel, are you going now?”
“You can’t see it anymore?”
“No…! Don’t go! Live here with us!!!”
Oh my gosh-!
A number of cries were mixed together.
Mabel was blocking the entrance to the village, looking at the children with tears streaming down their cheeks with a puzzled expression.
“You idiots!!!”
At that moment, Tak, the oldest child among the children of Whidin Village, joined in late and looked sternly at the crying children.
“Can’t you see that Mabel is in trouble?! She’s already delayed in returning because of us. Don’t you know!”
“Ugh… I know, I know, but…!!!”
“If we break up, now… now, I won’t be able to see Mabel. Sob…!!!”
“What can’t you see! We should go to the capital to see Mabel!!!”
Tack looked at Mabel and a mischievous smile spread across his face.
“Right? Mabel.”
Although the child was speaking cheerfully and without crying, the corners of his eyes were red as if he was about to cry at any moment.
Looking at that face, Mabel felt a lump in her throat as memories of the children she had spent time with in the village came to mind.
“… Of course!!! Of course!!! Come visit anytime! I’ll be waiting with some delicious snacks prepared!”
“Did you hear that? So don’t cry like you’re crying! Send Mabel away with a smile! Didn’t you promise?”
When did you ever make such a promise?
Mabel’s throat tingled at the thought of these little ones preparing for themselves and their separation.
At Tak’s words, the children sniffled, …
It was a funny and cute smile that was a mixture of crying and smiling.
“Mabel… can’t we forget?”
“I’ll definitely go and visit you. Tell me lots of interesting stories then, too.”
“Link your fingers and promise me.”
Mabel was able to leave the village entrance after making a promise to each child, one by one, while holding out her pinky.
In and out of town.
Across the entrance, Mabel placed her feet on the low steps to board the carriage that Kael had prepared in advance.
“Me!!! I’ll become a knight and come find you, Mabel!!!”
Tak’s voice boomed.
“So! Until then, don’t get sick! Stay healthy!”
A cute cry like a confession.
Mabel smiled brightly as she looked at Tack, whose face was as red as an apple.
“Yeah!!! You guys too, don’t get sick and come see me in good health!!!”
After Mabel got on the carriage, the carriage slowly started off.
Sniff sniff…
Mabel sniffled as the sight of the children continued to haunt her.
“Kael.”
“why.”
Mabel called out to Kael, who was sitting across from her.
“Thank you so much, and I’m so, so sorry.”
Chloris had long since left the village of Whidin.
It was an apology and gratitude to Kael for letting him stay in the village a little longer, as he was sad about parting with his children.
Kael said absentmindedly, looking at the small, pink crown.
“It’s nothing special.”
At that indifferent voice, Mabel sniffled again and raised her head, laughing.
“I really like Kael.”
“That’s such a shame.”
“Eek-! Why did you say you like me?!”
“There is something like that. Just be quiet when you arrive.”
“Are we really going home?”
Home. Kael muttered softly at the word.
“… home.”
“Yeah! Didn’t Kael say it was home?”
“Yeah, back home. I’m going back.”
The bright voice and the small voice responding to that voice continued to flow out continuously until they reached the house of the two people, the Damie family.
