Chapter 213 Jag-San Might Be In Trouble Too
When my apprentice Jagrute-san, also known as Jag-san, stayed at the shrine and saw Maya-chan's darkened fingertips, he made a puzzled expression.
"Isn't Holy Lady your sister, master? Why isn't she getting treatment?"
"Oh, I see. Jag-san, you didn't know. Well..."
"Yes, I do get treatment. Every time."
"Every time, really?"
Jag-san's expression softened, but now it seemed he was puzzled again.
"Maybe she was hiding it, Her Highness is."
"That's probably right."
"What do you mean?"
He had no idea about this, absolutely not. It's no good. Mother, her sister Myla-san, even Rosalier-san, they're all too patient women.
"Well, it's just a theory."
"Yes, understood."
"Her Highness with the holy attribute, our Ensgard queen. Maya-chan here also."
"Yes."
"When using holy attribute magic to purify Oso (Dreadful element), there seems to be a function to 'incorporate Oso (Dreadful element) once and purify what is recognized as poison'."
"Wow..."
"So indirectly, they end up incorporating Oso. About Maya-chan, I treat her finger every time, so before treatment it wasn't like this, there was no black discoloration at all. That's how it is."
"So that means..."
"Yeah. Depending on the person's power, the concentration of the incorporated Oso may be different, but Her Highness may have it not just on her finger, but on her wrist, or even her elbow or shoulder, I don't know exactly. It's likely that erosion has progressed considerably."
"Was the master angry about that?"
"That's right."
Maya-chan nodded. Finally, Jag-san also understood.
"So, Maya-chan,"
"Sure thing, big brother."
"My disciple Jag-san's Healing Attribute went up to 3 yesterday."
"Oh, could that mean..."
"Yeah. It's almost the same level as when I started treating Oso poison. If all goes well, it should have a healing effect."
"I see. Please, Jag-san, do it."
Maya-chan called Jag-san over. She gently placed her right hand on Jag-san's palm.
"Wait a sec. 'Mana Recover.' Alright, let's give it a shot. 'Detoxify.'"
"Y-yes... 'Detoxify.'"
"Wow."
"Amazing."
It's hard to notice if you don't look closely, but about half of the hair strand has definitely receded. Both Maya-chan and I can confirm that. Of course, Maya-chan should feel the effect for sure because she can appraise it. And Jag-san, the one who treating her, should feel it too.
Maya-chan whispered to me while looking at Jag-san frozen in surprise.
'Big brother.'
'Yeah.'
'Amazing. Definitely going to level 0.5%.'
'Wow.'
'Magic effects are powerful even if it's difficult to level up.'
'Yeah.'
Maya-chan's nails, which had turned pitch black, were detoxified and cleaned within 30 minutes.
"Congratulations, Jag-san. Now you are truly my disciple."
"T-thank you very much."
He grabbed my hands with both hands, shaking them happily. He even looked like he was almost crying.
"Isn't this a great achievement for a demon like Jag-san, big brother?"
"Yeah. So far, it should have been impossible for anyone else but me. It's possible that there may not be anyone currently alive who has reached level 3, right?"
Level 2 is when the detoxification ability from Level 1, 'Detoxify,' won't work on the Oso poison. It's only effective once you reach Level 3. Nobody knows this. I explained this to Maya-chan before.
"Why is Jag-san?"
"Well, Jag-san is a demon so he's long-lived. He has been engaged in healing activities here for many years, so he was already close to Level 3. Before meeting me, he was at Level 2. So, I and Maya-chan taught him the usual, easy way to level up."
"I see. It's about leveling up properly."
"That's right."
"So even when I'm not in this country, he can still treat Oso poison to some extent?"
"You're leaving, Master?"
"Well, once this country calms down, I have to return to Ensgard."
"Oh, that's right..."
"Don't worry. It's not happening today or tomorrow. We have to deal with them first, Maya-chan."
"Sure thing, big brother."
Me and Maya-chan, seeing Jag-san happy, reminded me of something.
""Oh.""
"What's wrong? Master, Maya-sama."
"Well, you see..."
"Yeah, I get it."
"If this gets publicized, worst-case scenario, you might be targeted."
"Huh?"
"There could even be kidnappings."
"Huh?"
"The reason I was kidnapped by Bergalide might be because of that."
"Huh? ...Oh, I see."
"Yeah. Because I use high-level healing magic."
"And also, they might know that Arlheave and Ensgard are connected, right?"
"Yeah. Correct."
"Hehe."
I pat Maya-chan's head.
"Is that so? For the same reason they kidnapped Her Highness. To prevent Arlheave from becoming a threat to the Celestial Race...?"
"Yeah. Jag-san, you're correct."
Now, now, Maya-chan. Don't pat Jag-san's head.
"By the way, big brother."
"Um?"
"Why does Jag-san call Maya 'Maya-sama'?"
"Oh, well, you see, I'm Jag-san's master."
"Yes. Maya-sama is my master's sister, and she's also a Holy Lady, a saint magician just like Her Highness, and she's the daughter of the Ensgard Duke family."
"Oh, really? You caught on?"
"Yeah, I told him. Well, anyway, does Jag-san have any running dragons?"
"Yes. They're waiting in the stables here."
"What kind? Can you show me?"
"Yeah, yeah, Maya-chan, calm down. We're going to the ranch now."
"Oh, right."
We moved to the stables. And there, to my surprise, there were other running dragons besides Centrena. Of course, though.
'Kuu'
Centrena comes running up to me.
"Black, huh? I see. She's master's."
"Yeah. I got Centrena from my mother. We also have another one at home, a white one named Alesion."
'Guu'
Surprisingly, a bigger brown running dragon emerges from behind Centrena.
"Master, he's my family's running dragon, Danjeon."
"Good boy, good boy."
Danjeon-kun, he noticed, is snuggling up to Maya-chan. She's petting him.
"Wow, Maya-sama can quickly make friends with running dragons."
"Yes, it seems she did the same in the security department."
