Chapter 181 Science Special Investigation Department
Hawks-san, the phoenix infected by a mysterious creature, Kyuuki.
When she took the medicine, she evolved into a stunning beauty with blue hair.
She had one eye covered by her bangs. Wearing a blue dress made of flames, she looked like a princess.
"So, Pharmacist-dono, how will you track down the whereabouts of Kyuuki?"
"Maybe Leaf-kun can track it by scent?"
In response to Mercury-san's question, I shook my head and said,
"Due to the heat wave, the scent has dispersed, making tracking impossible."
If they go too far, even my sense of smell won't be able to follow.
"What should we do then?"
"I'll use medicine to pinpoint the enemy's location. Hawks-san mentioned being infected by Kyuuki's needle. What happened to the needle after that?"
Hawks-san pondered for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.
"She disappeared!?"
"It's the Phoenix Teleport, a unique skill of the phoenix that allows instant teleportation to a place they've been before."
The village chief explained. Ah, so Hawks-san has a teleportation magic-like ability. Convenient.
Soon after, Hawks-san returned.
"It fell near this one's nest."
It seems she pulled out the needle and left it there.
Convenient.
I took out a vial and ingredients from my magic bag.
I folded the Kyuuki needle in half and added it to the vial.
"Prescription!"
The ingredients and needle disappeared in an instant, and green liquid appeared in the vial.
"It's eye drops."
"Eye drops... like eye medicine?"
"Yes."
I took out a special bottle for eye drops and poured the mixture into it.
"Mercury-san! Can I use this eye drop on you?"
"Ehh..."
She seemed really reluctant. Huh, what's wrong...?
"Leaf-kun's medicine usually doesn't end well."
"Oh no..."
Sigh...
"Oh, fine! I get it! Stop making that sad face."
"Yes!"
"Such a weakness for falling in love..."
Mercury-san took off her glasses and used the eye drops I made.
And then...
"My eyes feel hot... Wait, what's this? The Kyuuki needle looks faintly blue and glowing?"
"Success! By mixing items with magic power into this eye drop, you can visualize the traces of magic power in the eyes!"
All living beings have magic power within them.
This eye drop extracts magic power from a specific part of a person's body (like hair or nails) and visualizes only that same magic power.
"It's a medicine used to track down thieves or culprits when they enter.
"I see... By following the traces of magic power, we can pinpoint the location of the magic power's owner, in other words, the culprit."
Exactly.
"What an incredible magic medicine. I've never seen anything like it... amazing."
The village chief muttered in amazement.
"Eh, isn't this kind of thing commonly used in the village? Don't you know?"
"You should choose your words more CAREFULLYYYYYY!"
Mercury-san tapped my head. Oops, it seems like I said something rude again.
