“… . . How is it nya~… . . ”

Nina asks me, seemingly out of breath . When I heard it I looked away from Nina and back to the vulture .

Oh, she was finally able to restore 4 HP with [[Rest]] on the vulture . Even Though it had been 1 or 2 just a short time ago, this is a great achievement . Most of the symptoms of bloodshed have also been alleviated . Although it may not be very useful during battle, it should at least be possible to cure minor injuries .

“Gua!”

“Pefu!”

「Progress made to lessen wound」

“I-I did it… . Nina was able to learn magic… . ”

Nina falls flat down . The ball rabbit leaped forward and caught Nina . Seems she was tired since her MP was almost drained .

So it’s up to here . Although it’s only enough to cure minor injuries, there may be some use for it in port city . If we keep practicing from now on I’m sure it will grow .

I undid the bindings on the vultures and released them . I felt guilty letting it go like this, but it wasn’t meant to be a meal in the first place .

“pihya?”

“pihyaa?”

“pihya, pyahya!” “pi, pihyaa!”

The two vultures faced each other and cried out, seems like they came to the conclusion that they could escape and did so . The two flew into the sky and ran away while flapping their wings . The ball rabbit looked up at the birds a little regretfully .

“Hinya… . ”

Nina groans in pain as she is resting on the ball rabbit . When I heard it I had a bad feeling . I hope this is just because she exhausted her mana .

Nina weakly raises her arm and uses her palm to cover her mouth .

“keho, keho!”

A cough appeared .

This was still good . A cough should be the initial symptom of a disease . Like this the status abnormality won’t appear as well . If it starts getting worse, I could use [[Roll]] to move quickly .

Or at least it was supposed to be… . Nina’s hands had red splashes on them .

Its blood .

Nina looks at the palm of her hand and slowly turns her face towards me .

“… . sorry, this is… . ”

Before she could say it, her eyes closed . The weight of the symptoms is clearly different from that of the ball rabbits . In the early stages you won’t get worse at the initial stage of coughing . But is it different depending on monster or humans?

I quickly check Nina’s status .

[Nina Nifa]

Race: Felis Huma

Looks like she already has an abnormal state . Why? Is it because she doesn’t have much MP her curse resistance dropped? Or is it because the ball rabbits curse resistance was originally stronger?

Was it a mistake to think that the conditions would be the same for everyone? Damn…this was a blunder . Certainly there were some signs if I think about it . Sometimes she would unnecessarily say sorry, or I sometimes look to see her have a strange face . In the first place, the grace period is abnormally long . I had thought that [[Dragon Scales]] may have had little effect, or that Nina’s tolerance was strong, I was thinking of how easy going we were, but that wasn’t the case .

Nina had been hiding her initial symptoms all this time . She acted so as not to rouse suspicion of her worsening condition as much as possible, and probably muzzled her coughs . Maybe because she knew that I would take her to the city as soon as I saw her showing any signs of sickness . Nina was certainly not prepared to go to that city yet .

If it’s like this, there is a little I’m having trouble understanding . I thought that [[Dragon Scales]] only took effect after a certain amount of days before it begins to take effect, so Nina shouldn’t have had to hide before then . There’s also the fact that the highly perceptive ball rabbit did not notice Nina was hiding her symptoms .

I turn my eyes to the ball rabbit . The ball rabbit awkwardly looked away .

Ball rabbit, you… . told Nina about [[Dragon Scales]] before me . I knew that when you were using [[Telepathy]] without me telling you too was related to the progress of the disease symptoms .

「I am… . sorry」

The ball rabbit shrinks in size, as if trying to hide .

What were you thinking!

If we don’t make it in time Nina will die!

Well there’s no use being angry right now . I guess it was like this since Nina had asked it too . Its out of line to place the blame on the ball rabbit . Since its already like this, I must use [[Roll]] and send Nina to the port city as soon as possible .

“Exist… . . ”

Huh?

What is it ball rabbit, what was she trying to say?

「Port city… . does not exist . To keep going farther and farther, a distant land was used . The city is in another direction… . . 」

… . what does this mean?

「Nina, planned to pass away… . out here . It couldn’t be helped no matter where she went . Although there was a limit, she liked being together, that’s why… . 」

Tell me that in the first place instead of lying!

“Guuoo!”

When I roared the ball rabbit shuddered and folded its ears down further .

You should have at least told me… . .

…Even if I was told would I be able to do anything?

I don’t know anything at all about Nina’s circumstances and how she’s lived . I don’t know what it was like to be a slave in Harenae .

When I had said that I could only take Nina to a village, it must have been cruel in Nina’s perspective . But I couldn’t prepare any other options . If I were human I could have done something else, but I’m a dragon .

“Guuuu… . ”

Nina of course was going to say that the port city was closer as her symptoms worsened . It was obvious that I would panic and head to town as fast as I could . All the while she quietly, intended to die in the desert .

…I wonder if I will be able to make it back to Harenae if I keep rolling at full power . There may be hope as it is completely unknown just how long the symptoms have progressed after appearing as a status abnormality . Though, I am only relying on uncertainties .

I guess, it is about time to consult Laplace after all this time . I did not want to use it as much as possible since I was uncertain on its effective range of events or whether it could even be trusted . It does seem dangerous but… . I suppose now’s a good a time as ever .

I don’t think that Nina wants to go to Harenae or any place with people in the first place however . I wonder what I should do .
