Chapter 177 Bird Flu
I came to cure the illness of the Phoenix.
"So, Leaf-kun, what are you going to do next...? You said you're going to cure the Phoenix."
"First, let's take a medical history."
No matter what illness, we need to listen to the patient's symptoms first.
Master Asclepius said so.
'Cough cough...! Huff huff... Hey, don't come near this one! You're still young...'
"Don't come near me... What do you mean?"
'If you get close to me, others will too...'
And then it happened.
"Cough! Cough cough!"
"Aegis-san?"
The Elf companion, Aegis-san, collapsed on the spot.
She kept coughing, struggling to breathe.
'Oh... I'm sorry... It's this one's fault... It seems this one's illness has spread...'
"The illness spread from the Phoenix!?"
...Bird.
Infection.
And respiratory failure.
'This one... cough, cough... is the immortal Phoenix. So this one won't die... but... that Elf over there... cough, cough! This one is sorry... people of the Elves... this one is sorry...'
"You... you're not a bad bird, right? You kept your distance because the illness could spread... Hey, Leaf-kun, can't we do something to help?"
Yeah, that's right.
Maybe there's a way.
"Mercury-san. This bird is probably infected with a virus!"
"Uh... a virus? What's that?"
"It's an invisible, really tiny organism! I think it's infected with that."
"S-So... I don't really understand, but how do we cure this virus? Give it some Elixir?"
"Why are you suggesting headache medicine (Elixir)? There's no headache happening."
"Don't call headache medicine 'Elixir'!!!!!!!"
The way to deal with a virus infection is to create a vaccine.
"To make a vaccine, Phoenix, please let me take your little blood!"
'This one... doesn't mind... cough! Can you cure this one...? But, the Elf...'
Oh, this Phoenix is a really kind bird.
It's more concerned about Aegis-san, who got sick because of me, than itself.
I won't let anyone harm such a kind bird!
"It's okay, I will save both you and Aegis-san!"
'...I see. This one understands. Please.'
I quickly took out a small knife and slightly injured the Phoenix's leg.
I collected some blood from there and dripped a few drops onto the Divine Healer Staff.
"Examine the virus in the blood and create a vaccine for it... Prescription!"
The tip of the staff glowed brightly.
Alright, it's done...!
"Here we go! Administering the virus vaccine!"
I administered the vaccine filled in the staff to the Phoenix and Aegis-san.
(The Divine Healer Staff can administer medicine from outside the body in the appropriate way.)
In no time, Aegis-san and the Phoenix's conditions improved.
'I-I can't believe it... This one is cured. Breathing has become so much easier!"
"A-Amazing... Leaf-kun. Curing an unknown illness in one shot..."
Mercury-san muttered in admiration. I felt happy and said,
"Huh? If you're a Pharmacist, it's normal to be able to do this, right?"
"Well, yeah. The Pharmacist you know is the medicine god... well, whatever."
"Huh? Don't you need headache medicine (Elixir)? Like always?"
"Are you trying to provoke MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!"
"..."
"Don't give me headache medicine with a smug face!!!!!!!"
