Chapter 96

“No, it doesn’t hurt. How should I put it… it feels warm and fuzzy.”

Warm and fuzzy, he said.

It was such a purely childlike expression.

Since the Masu Transformation hadn’t progressed severely yet, he didn’t seem to feel any pain.

I smiled faintly and drew up a bit more magical power.

Then suddenly a bright cluster of light appeared, and Luca’s flesh began returning to normal.

“Lu, Luca, your arm…!”

The woman gasped and covered her mouth in surprise.

I focused entirely on treating Luca.

Then the black flesh that had spread from the child’s arm to his chest and up to his nape gradually regained its original color.

“Woooow…”

And finally, when bright golden light enveloped the child’s body, Luca was completely healed.

“Amazing!”

Luca smiled brightly as he looked down at his own body.

“Right?”

I smiled and patted Luca’s head, then stood up from my seat.

“The treatment is all finished.”

“Oh, thank you. Thank you so much…”

The woman shed tears as she grasped my hands and bowed her head repeatedly.

“Are there other people in the village experiencing similar symptoms to Luca?”

“Yes, yes. There are.”

The woman nodded urgently at my question.

“Where are they all?”

I asked with a hardened expression.

At my question, the woman said she would quickly bring people over and left the house.

Then, Luca grabbed my sleeve.

“By the way, sister.”

“Yes, Luca.”

“Who is that brother over there?”

Luca’s finger pointed to Kaisis standing by the door.

“He’s my escort knight.”

When I answered with a smile, Luca’s eyes sparkled.

“Woooow… Sister really is a young lady…”

Well, children this age do tend to admire noble young ladies who have escort knights protecting them.

I was smiling and patting Luca’s head when it happened.

“Everyone come in quickly!”

People each carrying children began entering the room.

“Mage, I’ve brought them all.”

The people who entered carrying children all appeared to be parents.

They looked at me with anxious eyes.

I hurriedly examined the children.

Some had horns growing, some were suffering from high fever, and some were coughing up blood.

They all had symptoms similar to the woman’s husband I had treated before.

“Is this everyone?”

“Yes, yes.”

The woman nodded urgently. The parents also bobbed their heads along.

“Then I’ll treat them right away.”

High fever and bloody coughing could be symptoms of a simple illness. But they could also be early symptoms of Masu Transformation.

If it was an illness, I couldn’t treat it with holy magic, but if it was Masu Transformation, that was a different story.

I pondered for a moment, then decided to try using holy magic. It was to confirm whether it was Masu Transformation or not.

I instructed them to lay the children on the bed, then went around placing my hands on each child’s forehead.

After bright clusters of light burst forth for a while.

Soon the children who regained consciousness began looking for their parents.

“Thank you so much! Thank you, Holy Mage!”

The parents expressed their gratitude with moved faces, while the children looked at me with confused expressions.

“What’s a Holy Mage?”

The youngest-looking child asked the man who appeared to be his father.

“A good mage who treats sick people like you, or fights against bad Black Mages.”

When I explained with a smile, the children’s eyes sparkled.

“Woooow.”

“Then do you like, defeat villains with pow pow and stuff?”

“Of course, naturally.”

When I nodded, the children’s eyes shone like stars.

“Amazing!”

“I want to be a Holy Mage too!”

The children who quickly regained their energy giggled and played around.

I watched them with a smile, then soon hardened my expression and asked the parents.

“When did the children start acting like this?”

“It hasn’t been long. I think it started about two days ago.”

Two days ago…

I approached the children who were playing and joking around, then knelt down.

When I matched their eye level, the children’s gazes immediately focused on me.

“Kids, can you tell me where you went two days ago?”

“Yes! We went to the flower garden!”

“Right! We made flower crowns and played!”

“There’s a really big flower garden on the hill behind this village, and we played there!”

The children giggled as they continued speaking.

But I couldn’t help but harden my face at the word ‘flower garden.’

A flower garden, could it be?

I immediately stood up.

“Where exactly is this hill behind the village?”

“Just walk west from here for about 10 minutes uphill.”

“But that’s just an ordinary flower garden…”

From what the parents said, it seemed the flower garden had been there for a long time.

But what if Pimpis flowers had gotten mixed in there?

Then the children’s Masu Transformation would make sense.

“Then I’ll be going now.”

“What? Already?”

“We haven’t done anything for you…”

“You saved our children, so we want to do something for you…”

The parents looked flustered and showed apologetic expressions.

I hadn’t done this expecting anything in return, but seeing how they wanted to repay me somehow, they seemed like good people.

“It’s fine. This is my job. Your grateful hearts are repayment enough.”

At my words, the parents showed moved expressions.

They didn’t forget to praise me, saying this was indeed what you’d expect from a Holy Mage.

“Then see you next time.”

“Travel safely!”

“Bye, sister!”

I said goodbye to the children and parents, then teleported with Kaisis to the flower garden said to be in the west.

As soon as we arrived at the flower garden, a thick floral fragrance brushed past my nose.

I looked around the vast flower garden with Kaisis. Various wildflowers were blooming mixed together throughout the garden.

After thinking for a moment, I spread my magical power widely and evenly.

Then I felt the aura of dark magic from various spots in the flower garden. It was probably the aura emitted by the Pimpis flowers.

While I was seriously examining the flower garden, Kaisis pointed to his feet.

“Master, it’s a Pimpis flower.”

A transparent, blue flower blooming at Kaisis’s feet.

It was a Pimpis flower.

I approached the Pimpis flower with a hardened expression.

If the children had picked and played with these flowers, it made sense that the Masu Transformation had progressed.

“Pimpis flowers are hidden throughout the flower garden.”

“Then we’ll have to burn this flower garden.”

“I think that would be best.”

I felt sorry for ruining the children’s playground, but I couldn’t just leave the Pimpis flowers as they were.

I used magic to set fire to the flower garden.

The flames spread quickly.

Watching the grayish-white ash powder fly around, I soon confirmed that the flower garden had burned completely and extinguished the fire.

“If Pimpis flowers have spread to this village, who knows how much further they’ve spread throughout the Empire.”

Kaisis nodded at my words.

“It seems we need to deploy the knights as soon as possible. So they can eliminate Pimpis flowers the moment they’re discovered.”

After exchanging glances, Kaisis and I immediately teleported back to the Count’s Mansion.

Only the Count or Louis, who was the young count, could command the knights. As a mere young lady, I had no authority to command the knights.

So I had to go find the Count or Louis to ask for their help…

Louis would unconditionally oppose anything I said, so I decided to go find the Count first.

The Count had been treating me well lately.

But…

“I’m sorry, Miss. The Count says he cannot meet with you because he’s not feeling well.”

The Count wouldn’t see me.

“He’s not feeling well? What’s wrong with him?”

“Well, he’s been running a fever continuously for some time now. It seems to be just a simple cold. But he said it would be best not to meet since there’s a possibility of passing it to you, Miss…”

“Even though it’s a very important matter, he still won’t see me?”

“Yes, he firmly refused…”

At the maid’s words, I had no choice but to accept and turn away.

Then the only one left was Louis…

Just thinking about dealing with that bastard made me sigh already.
