episode_0286

As you can see from the fact that I paid money to create a grace period, this quarter inevitably means that I will suffer some kind of loss.

It doesn’t matter how the player behaves.

The period for carrying out Another Plan to achieve the designated objective is fixed within Chapter 3, and the system in the game interferes with the player in some way.

This law is inherited as is and has a direct influence on the choices made.

In a completely unknown situation, with lines I’ve never seen before, and even random questions, I had to find the answer in this to avoid a big loss.

‘There, it’s medicine.’

Luckily, I got a clue.

It may seem like a random line, but it’s not always like that.

I didn’t think much would change until the first day when the grace period was extended.

But it was around noon on the second day that I received something from Camilla.

‘That was it?’

■Items in possession■

◆???

[ When used on the affected area, it restores a small amount of HP, ignores status effects related to pain of Lv. 2 or lower, and grants regenerative abilities. In addition, it suppresses the effect of magic erosion, so if you are in an eroded state, its effect is doubled. ]

The items delivered by Camilla were said to have been shipped from the Bagrand Dukes.

The effect is that it contains everything I need right now, and it has an excellent function of removing most of the wound effects that come with bitterness. At first glance, it will not change the fact that it is a consumable.

But something with such effects couldn’t have just arrived at me for no reason. Even if it wasn’t dangerous, it could be poisonous in itself.

Of course I was wary. The fact that he came from the Duke’s family could be a hindrance to the game.

So I tried to refuse and send him back.

-What? You don’t know who sent it?

-Yes… Since you didn’t say who sent it, I don’t know how to return it…

Camilla expressed her discomfort.

If we had forced them to return despite this, we would have suffered a catastrophe.

A typical example is when a person is criticized for hastily returning an item from the Duke’s household, or when the servants are scolded for forcibly returning an item, which reduces their intimacy with the Duke.

So I just accepted it and left it there.

Was that what Flora sent?

The links are slowly coming together.

‘…If I had thought about it a little more, I could have taken action in advance. This was also a mistake in judgment.’

The enclosed ointment, simple bandages, and good quality bandages were enough to infer the cause.

Shayden said that Flora had become interested in pharmacy and was researching various things.

Well, you could easily guess from the exposed wound that I didn’t apply the medicine.

‘Anyway, I have to choose an option, right?’

The option to not receive it.

The option of receiving it but not knowing how to use it.

A choice that sticks its head out, saying that it went to another territory.

There are many more, but the correct answer I saw in the game was not there.

The difficulty level was quite high, and there was almost nothing that was obvious about the future.

I had to carefully filter out the choices that involved traps I didn’t even know about.

Still, I didn’t think about it for long.

[ 6. (covering the wound with his hand)── ]

No need to wrap the wound? No.

It’s okay to just reveal it.

because.

[ 6. (covering the wound with your hand as if covering it) You don’t need to apply medicine to a wound of this size. ]

“No need.”

Because it’s Kim Min-hyeok’s answer, not Karcein’s.

***

Flora, who was terrified at the news that a demon had appeared at the after-party, clung to her mother’s side.

Every time the hall was filled with the sound of metal clashing in the pitch-black darkness and the eerie screams of the demons as they were hit by magic, she had to close her eyes tightly and cover her ears.

Just hold on to Isabella’s skirt.

I just wait, believing that my sisters will be by my side.

When the loud noise died down and the lights began to come on little by little, I was finally able to open my eyes. My eyes became moist and I could see my sisters, but one person was not there.

This is the only place safe from the demons, but it’s not here…?

My heart sank.

There were also some positive stories that the royal family and other large groups were far away, so they might join up with them or survive by sticking together with a few people…

Even now, I can’t forget that moment I saw in my dream.

-It’s because of you.

The sight of Karsene, covered in blood all over his body, complaining.

Since that day, I hated blood.

The red liquid, which had previously been unpleasant to look at simply because of its unpleasant color and smell, had gone beyond ominous.

Just seeing it made me feel repulsed.

The pungent smell makes me want to block my nose.

My chest feels tight as if I can’t breathe, the hairs on my skin stand on end, and I feel scared.

Hemophobia.

Shayden had given Flora that diagnosis.

Still, Flora did not give up.

I never turned my eyes away from the reality I had always ignored.

No matter how scared I was of blood, I endured it with great difficulty.

Because only then can you achieve your goals.

When Karsene was really sick, he fought until the end for the day when he could step forward and treat the patient himself.

Thanks to that, even though I’m still at the level of a runny nose, what I learned under Shaden hasn’t gone anywhere.

No one noticed, but Flora could vaguely sense it.

‘Carcein… were you hurt?’

Following the advice that even the smallest thing should not be missed.

According to the policy that those treating patients should always have a broad view and look at the whole body.

The young girl’s eyes were able to spot the red stain that had been hidden on Carcein’s clothes.

After that happened, I headed to the pharmacy.

Needless to say, there were wounds on his body. He set out to make medicine to heal the wounds.

‘No rapid recovery potions allowed.’

No matter how effective it is, you still have to endure all the pain that comes with the recovery process, so even if it is effective, you have to make it so that you recover gradually and the pain is alleviated.

‘Even if you heal a wound, you must use the right medicine for your body.’

Karsin has certain ingredients that do not agree with his body, including the Kelvia fruit. He carefully checked Shayden’s records and carefully selected the medicinal herbs.

‘It’s definitely a wound from fighting the devil.’

You must use a recipe that will purify the eroded magic and completely return your body to its original state.

The medicine that was made through such an all-night process took a whole day to be confirmed through clinical trials, but it was not difficult to send it to Karsain in the territory.

however.

Carcein was not used.

“No need.”

There’s no need…?

“What are you talking about!”

He got angry and grabbed Karcein’s clothes.

“You were hurt that day. You were hurt fighting the demons!”

Flora shouts as if she is frustrated.

With that small hand, he gropes a couple of times and pinpoints the exact spot where the carcinoma stain had remained.

“Here, here, you’re hurt. You need to apply medicine properly to get better!”

Flora took out the extra bottle of medicine she had prepared just in case, and immediately put some medicine on her hand to apply to Karcein’s wound.

Then Karsain firmly grabs her hand.

“I told you it wasn’t necessary. Why are you making such a fuss over a wound like this?”

“What…?”

“This is nothing compared to the Westerners who fight against the demons on the battlefield.”

What kind of nonsense is that?

It’s a wound that’s big enough to stain your clothes with the blood that’s flowing out, but it’s not a big deal?

No. You were hurt before that.

If you get hurt, it’s right to recover well.

But why…

“It doesn’t hurt at all, so stop doing useless things and clean up.”

Karsine answered in a firm voice, let go of Flora’s hand, and went his way.

“…”

I couldn’t understand.

All kinds of questions came flooding in.

But still, they couldn’t catch Carcein.

Before I knew it, tears had gathered in my eyes.

Tears began to fall from her moist eyes.

“Aa… I’m not trying to bother you anymore, Maria…”

I really hope you don’t get sick.

Because you were hurt. That’s why I wanted to help you.

Can’t you just trust me once?

Left alone, I mutter with a slurred speech.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

I knew it better than anyone else.

That it was my own karma for tormenting Karsein all this time.

-Tiring!

▶ Hidden episode exclusive to Flora character. Cleared . ◀

▶Synchronization is in progress.◀

▶An event occurs when the target discovers a key memory.◀

[ Key Memorial : Ointments in the Drawer ]

***

The conversation with Flora ended successfully.

It didn’t affect the green light floating above, nor did it directly decrease intimacy.

However, there is one thing that is a little different.

▶An irreversible penalty occurs!◀

“…No, what.”

Recovery methods are extremely important in this game.

Excessive use of action points will result in related status effects, and stamina will also be restricted to players by status effects such as fatigue and exhaustion.

Lastly, of course, HP is also worth mentioning.

In any game, if your HP reaches zero, you die.

So recovery is a very important thing.

▶HP recovery penalty has occurred.◀

▶You can no longer receive Flora’s medicine.◀

▶Showing the wound to all the members, including the attending physician Shayden, it cannot be healed.◀

▶It becomes impossible to visit the infirmary shown on the map to receive treatment.◀

[ Duration: 30 days ]

Among them, there was an absurd penalty of not being able to recover HP.

“Ha, shit. It’s been a few days since we experienced an event where demons suddenly invaded, and this is popping up.”

There was no choice.

There is no choice but to clear the sub-episode to remove the penalty.

▶Go to the designated location to proceed with the penalty release sub-episode.◀

“There’s still time before the episode starts…so it’ll be okay.”

What kind of suffering is this just because of one choice I made when I met Flora.

Just thinking about how much more would be lost this time made me feel dizzy.

I put aside my frustration and went to the location indicated on the minimap.

however.

There was a strange object floating there.

“…This, no way.”

-Tiring!

▶Penalty release conditions found.◀

[Memorial found at designated location]

▶Automatically obtain memories!◀

A wave of white light rushes in.

After that wave passes…

To my dismay, it was a very old memory of mine that was revealed, not Karsane’s memorial.

***

“Venus!”

“…Talpon.”

When Talfon heard that the prophet of Wederos had come, he rushed to find him.

It’s not that there is no joy in reunion.

How could one not be happy that a nobleman who helped not only the Peselos Empire but also the Westerners had come to visit?

He is also a friend who visited after a long time.

It wouldn’t be strange to clink glasses and chat about various things when meeting after a long time.

But Talphon can’t be all happy.

Because he is none other than Veneris, the prophet of Wederos.

He swallowed heavily and asked in a suggestive tone, sensing her anxiety.

“…Has the prophecy come true? Veneris.”

A man with sharp eyes. Veneris stared at Talphon for a moment.

-Nod.

Very small.

He nodded.
