Infinite Reincarnation – Arthur Hurt Chapter 82

16-Background

Balan protested.

“No, even though that’s my major, I’m as good as any expert in anthropology.”

“Is that so?”

Arthur’s reaction was dry, but when Balan persisted, he became lazy to take it off.

Honestly, I didn’t think it would be such a big deal if Balan was included. Even if it weren’t for him, wouldn’t one or two doctors or scholars who could borrow authority come by?

Arthur, who had finally gotten sick, came to Mato Trading Company.

Jaran looked at the young and handsome youth Arthur had brought with him with a puzzled expression, then upon hearing of Arthur’s actions in the Red Cross, blinked and washed his face dry before looking at Arthur with sunken eyes.

“So scholars interested in sweet addiction will come to see me?”

“We need to choose a prominent person among them and ask for help.”

“Well done. Well done… … .”

Jaran had a lot to say, but couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Wasn’t the original way of proceeding with the matter discussed with Arthur not to proceed in this public way, but rather for Arthur to personally contact scholars of some repute, converse with them, and then use their authority?

If we do this publicly, the concept of sweet addiction will be revealed too soon.

Of course, it was a concept that would naturally become known as the total care service progressed, but what Jarani wanted was at least for the total care service to spread while being an initial success, that is, leading the market.

That said, I wasn’t sure if it would be positive for the project to introduce the concept of sweet addiction so quickly.

Although Zarran did not like this unexpected situation, he could not criticize Arthur because he remembered that he had also made the mistake of mentioning his name in front of the queen.

Isn’t it possible for people to make mistakes?

So he quietly and calmly told Arthur that the situation was not so easy.

“Didn’t you tell me that sweet addiction can lead to money? Is that okay?”

“I’m sorry for spreading information without permission, but it’s not entirely my fault.”

Arthur answered Jaran’s question by looking to the side. Balan was smiling and waving his hand.

He didn’t seem to mind Arthur shifting the blame to him. To be honest, it was hard to even call it a lie.

He said with a shameless expression.

“That’s great. Things will progress quickly.”

“I… … It’s none of your business, but… … .”

As Jaran politely pointed out, Balan was a more shameless person than Jaran had imagined.

“Why not? I’ll join you.”

“Together? Excuse me, Balan, but your major is law and diplomacy, right?”

So, it was a roundabout way of saying that you were useless, but Balan was calm to Jaran, just like he was to Arthur.

“Don’t worry. I’ve always been interested in the human body, so much so that I can beat most doctors. To be honest, among the people who brag about being doctors, I think there are a lot of quacks who don’t know much about the human body.”

Balan said that and smiled brightly.

Jaran sighed at Balan’s my pace.

“Haa~ That’s not it… … .”

I said that because I didn’t need it.

Jaran had always been confident that he was not a rude person, so he swallowed his words and winked at Arthur. Tell him to do something about that person. Of course, Arthur pretended not to notice.

In the end, Jaran politely refused Balan.

“Honestly, in this business, people who don’t have a reputation in their field are unnecessary.”

“I knew it.”

But Balan still seemed to be turning a deaf ear to Jaran’s words. He insisted on getting involved in this matter.

So, in order to convince him (get rid of him), Jaran brought out some truth.

“Honestly, the reason I need the help of experts is not because I need their knowledge, but because I need their authority. Overcoming addiction to sweets requires the patient’s determination and cooperation, and I need the words of an expert to persuade them. But you said that you specialize in law and diplomacy, right?”

I think you’ll understand if I explain it to you this much. If you still insist despite my explanation, I plan on showing my power.

To this Balan said:

“Oh, if that’s the case, you don’t have to worry about it. I have a reputation in the medical field. I’ve even written two books on medicine.”

At those words, Jaran blinked.

“Really?”

“If you look for it, it will come out right away, so why would I lie? How stupid.”

Jaran was speechless.

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“I didn’t ask.”

The corners of Balan’s mouth went up.

Jaran was so dumbfounded that his head was blank. So he looked at Arthur, wondering what the hell this kid is doing, but Arthur was just fiddling with his teacup, his eyes half-open, as if he was alone in a different space, not paying any attention to the two of them.

Honestly, as long as Balan doesn’t get in the way, is it a big deal whether he joins or not? Arthur didn’t think there would be a problem.

I don’t know, do what you want. Jaran let out a small sigh at the unspoken expression of intention.

* * *

A group of experts was formed to study sweet addiction, and it took about a month to produce some research results.

This process was by no means an easy one.

First of all, there weren’t many experts who visited, either because it was an unfamiliar field or for other reasons, and among them, there weren’t many who had truly high reputations.

After seeing the list of people chosen, Jaran criticized them, saying that money was used as an incentive and that only these types of people came.

To this Arthur replied:

‘People don’t know much about things that aren’t related to their field anyway.’

In any field, the best experts are known only to those in that field. That is why the words of the best experts in that field do not resonate as well as expected with the general public.

It’s not that there was no effect at all, but it’s true that the effect wasn’t very satisfactory compared to the effort put in to get a word from a top expert. Is it a lack of cost-effectiveness?

And, essentially, it’s rare for a public-facing expert to coincide with a true industry leader.

Because the real best in the business are busy broadening their horizons of knowledge and honing their skills rather than talking in front of the public.

That is why, in order to persuade the public, it is more effective to gather several experts with moderate fame and form public opinion. This is because, in the public’s psychology, if many experts say the same thing, they think, “That must be so,” and move on.

The public was not diligent or wise enough to individually research books or materials to determine facts.

But it was more difficult and cumbersome than expected to get the opinions of experts with such moderate fame to agree on something, because they all thought they were better than others.

The same was true of the doctors and scholars who visited Arthur after hearing his proposal from the Red Cross. They argued over whether their claims or methods were right when it came to sweet addiction.

Moreover, since these people came for the money, they are also very greedy, so research on sweet addiction has not been conducted. It is difficult for them to easily give up the fame that will come from pushing forward with their claims.

But surprisingly, it was Balan who stepped in. Thanks to his role as mediator, the conflict was minimized and the work of constructing data and plausible logic on the correlation between sweet addiction and obesity progressed quickly.

Balan, who was once a rascal, quickly became a noble guest of Jaran. He majored in law and diplomacy, and his negotiation and mediation skills were excellent.

After spending about a month like that, Arthur and Zarran went to see Ananias Youngae with a group of experts, excluding Balan, for the first time in a month. Balan was absent because he was busy with personal matters.

“You brought a lot of people.”

“They’re not just people.”

Zan introduced each of the people who accompanied Ananias Youngae. From gold-class members of famous medical societies to members of the Royal Society… … .

He aroused Ananias Youngae’s curiosity by explaining the hat that seemed like nothing special to experts in the same field but seemed special to laymen, and fortunately, he succeeded.

There were also nobles who had titles, even though they were only quasi-barons, so they could not be rude.

She asked.

“So why did you bring these people here?”

“From now on, these two will give Young-ae a short lecture about sweet addiction.”

“… … Okay. Let’s give it a try.”

The corner of Ananias Youngae’s mouth went up as she responded, clearly indicating a sneer.

Although Jaran was anxious, he was glad that permission had been granted and bowed his head to the accompanying scholars and asked them to give a lecture.

They each did their best to lecture Young-ae about the concept, symptoms, and solutions to sweet addiction, all for the sake of their own reputations.

Ananias Youngae listened to the lecture for about two hours without any distractions, and when it finally ended, she gave a small applause.

“great job.”

“Thank you, Youngae.”

“If you’re done, just go.”

“……yes?”

Jaran didn’t quite understand what he had heard, so he asked again, even though it was against the etiquette for dealing with nobles.

“You listened to the lecture well, so go ahead.”

“Uh… … Uh, that’s… … .”

Ja-ran was speechless at the unexpected turn of events. He thought that if he explained the correlation between sweet addiction and obesity and suggested diet methods, Young-ae would admit the truth and become motivated to diet.

But she didn’t. She just turned away with a cold, cynical smile.

It was a smile that meant that all the hard work of the past month had gone down the drain, and that it was a smile that brought about a crisis of not being able to carry out the queen’s orders.

In the unexpected turn of events, Jaran’s gaze turned to Arthur. Fortunately, Arthur’s calm expression put Jaran at ease. Did he even anticipate Youngae’s reaction like this?

Arthur stepped forward into the gaze of the man who was asking for help.

“Dear Ananias, would you please give me a chance to speak?”

“Try it.”

Arthur bowed in gratitude, then looked into Ananias’ eyes and opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“The Rohan Counts must have put in a lot of effort for Youngae. However, the results were not satisfactory. It is only natural that Youngae is disappointed in him.”

“short.”

“But all the scholars here have confirmed that dramatic weight loss is possible if you overcome your addiction to sweets.”

“Are you ignoring the efforts of the Rohan family now?”

“It is a clear fact that the efforts of the Rohan family have failed. Young-ae is probably more aware of this.”

Arthur’s words made the scholars ponder, and Zarran felt like fainting. Oh my! Such a sensitive remark!

But Ananias Youngae didn’t seem to take the insult to her family seriously, so it was even more sharp.

“Our family failed, so do you think they can?”

“Problems cannot be solved by power alone. If that were the case, there would be no kings in the world who were not saints.”

“You. Your liver is out of the boat?”

“No, I’m just trying to give Young-ae hope.”

“hope?”

Arthur pointed to the scholars and said to her, who was smiling as if there was no such thing.
