Chapter 189 Vs Unknown Virus
I diagnosed Kyuuki's infection with a virus and decided to cure this child's illness.
First, we collected blood and had Mercury-san appraise it.
"Just as Leaf-kun said. It seems there are strange creatures in the blood."
Mercury-san's eyes, blessed by Yggdrasil, have an amazing ability to appraise.
It's like she can see the viruses inside the body.
Indeed, Mercury-san is amazing.
"Let's try a vaccine first."
I weaken the viruses in Kyuuki's blood with a special medicine, then administer it to Kyuuki as a vaccine.
The intention of vaccination is to build resistance against the viruses in the body.
'Ugh... it hurts...'
Kyuuki seems to be in pain.
"This is strange. In my case, the symptoms subsided immediately!"
Phoenix Hawks-san is puzzled.
She, too, was infected with the virus.
In other words...
"The virus has mutated."
"Mutated? What's that, Leaf-kun?"
"It's like evolution in monsters. Viruses try to adapt to the environment by changing their body's nature."
I collect blood again and make a vaccine for the mutated virus to administer.
But...
'Argh...!'
"...Is it getting worse than before?"
As Black Silver-san said, Kyuuki is suffering even more.
This means...
"The mutation speed is abnormally fast."
"So, while we're making the vaccine, the virus mutates, rendering the vaccine ineffective...?"
This is a cat-and-mouse game.
I need to do something...
'I've had enough...'
Kyuuki weakly pleads.
'Enough... kill me... make it easier for me...'
Kyuuki's plea is feeble.
Killing might indeed bring relief.
But...
"No! I will help you! I am a Pharmacist!"
A Pharmacist is someone who brightens the path for patients, showing them a way other than death... a way to live.
That's what my master taught me.
That's why I'm here.
I won't allow an easy way out through death!
"But Leaf-kun, what will you do...? The vaccine isn't working, right?"
"...Then, I'll think of another way."
"Another way?"
"Yes... I will deactivate the virus!"
