“Miss Ekaterina has been stabbed!? What on the world happened!?” – Uncle Dis sent me an urgent message that Miss Ekaterina had been stabbed.

“I don’t know the exact details. I’m sure the stab wound itself is being treated with healing magic, but…” – Uncle Dis pauses.

“What? What is wrong?”

“The blade was apparently poisoned.”

“Poison?!”

“Yeah. It seems that no matter how many times healing magic is cast on her, she just gets weaker and weaker. That’s why I’ve come to ask Shin for help.”

Damn it! What a problem! The Healing magicians of Ys can’t cure poison!?

“Okay! I’ll be on my way, but keep me posted!”

“Mhm. I’m counting on you. If Katie is harmed, things will get messy. We must avoid that at all costs.”

Just a few minutes ago, we were talking about how the operation would end with Miss Ekaterina’s declaration, but I didn’t expect this to happen. I don’t know who did this or why, but if her Eminence the Pope, who has followers all over the world, is killed, we will not be able to enjoy peace even if the demon’s disturbances have subsided. That is something that must be avoided at all costs. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have given her that necklace! I regretted for forgetting to give it to her last time.

“Grandpa!”

“Um. I heard, let’s head to Ys!”

“Please do come with me! Okay, Aug, I’m off!”

“Shin! Save her Eminence the Pope at all costs!”

“I know!”

We head towards Ys by walking through the gate that grandpa opens. We exited the gate into a luxurious private room. After exiting the gate, grandpa opens the room door without hesitation.

“Wah! Who are you? How dare you come out from her Eminence the Pope’s room!?”

Ah, so this is Miss Ekaterina’s private room? A man, who seemed to be a guarding knight, rushes to the front of the door and gazed at grandpa who comes out of Miss Ekaterina’s room. Well, I’m sure he is surprised that someone suddenly bursts out of the Pope’s room.

“I’m Merlin Wolford! This is my grandson, Shin! I come to treat Ekaterina at the request of Earlshide’s King, Diseum! Now show me the way now!”

“The Wiseman?! Such a blatant lie…”

“Shut up!! Blah blah blah stop saying rubbish things and show me where the hell I need to go!”

Whoa! Grandpa is seriously offended. Densely packed magic power swirls around grandpa. The guard knight’s legs tremble at the sight of this.

“Stop stalling! If we can’t make it in time and Ekaterina dies… I will tear you to pieces!”

“Hee! But we can’t take a stranger with us…”

I’ve never seen such a scary side of grandpa in my life. I’m quite annoyed with the knight who is still unwilling to show us the way. But I can understand the knight position. It is a request from Uncle Dis, but I don’t have anything to prove it. I told him to keep me informed, but he didn’t indicate where to open the gate or anything.

What do we do now? If we don’t treat her as soon as possible, it might be too late. As I was trying to figure out how to get out of this situation, a priest, dressed in a gorgeous garments, comes running in. Ah, that’s it!

“Hey! Is Sir Shin is still here… Oh! Sir Shin!”

“Long time no see, Mr. Makina”

“What? Archbishop Makina! Then you really are the Wiseman and the Herald!”

Archbishop Makina, who knows my face, because he had participated the trilateral talks (during the demon extermination campaign), came to pick us up.

“You really did come right away!”

“Of course! Lead us to Her Eminence the Pope at once!”

“Yes! This way!”

Grandpa and I followed after Archbishop Makina, who is running ahead of us. At that time, the knight follows us, with a pitifully pale face.

“I didn’t think it was really the Wiseman and the Herald… What have I done…?”

He’s following us whilst mumbling, but now is not the time to be dealing with the knight.

“Mr. Makina, what is the condition of Her Eminence?”

“Huff, puff, eh? Ah, the stab wound is quite deep, and she’s lost a lot of blood! Huff, puff, even, even if we heal the wound…”

Unable to speak any more under his heavy breathing, or perhaps afraid to continue his words due to the desperate situation, Mr. Makina stops talking at this point. I can’t say anything else either, so I just follow Mr. Makina.

And we arrive at the audience room. The Pope of the God of Creation country, who is also the head of state, greets the emissaries of other countries in the audience room.

“The audience room, that means the culprit is…”

“Hah! Hah! Eh, yeah… from outside the country… an emissary from Dahm”

After all, it was someone from outside the country? Mr. Makina, who is completely out of breath, summons the last of his strength and opens the door of the audience room.

“Sir Shin! Her Eminence the Pope, by all means! Please save her in any way possible!”

“Yes! Get out of the way, please! I’ll take over the treatment!”

Encouraged by Mr. Makina, who slumps down after using the last ounce of his strength in opening the door, I start running toward the crowd in the audience room.

“Oh! The Herald! The Herald has come!”

“Herald! Her Eminence, Save Her Eminence the Pope!”

It seems that everyone recognizes that I was here because Mr. Makina shouted my name out loud earlier. One person after another calls out to me, but I don’t have time to reply to them. The crowd opens up and the scene that emerges is… Ekaterina, who is collapsed in a pool of blood, is being desperately treated by a healing magician, and…

“Fwah!! It’s not my fault! It’s the Pope’s fault for recognizing that little boy as the Herald!”

The man that who was thought to be the culprit, has been seized by a knight, and is making odd statements.

“Shut up! You traitor!”

“As an emissary from a nation that follows our religion, how dare you to commit such a barbaric act!”

I’m annoyed with seized criminal, but I’m also irritated by the knight. How can you act so high and mighty after allowing a murderous act to happen so easily? For now, I’ll put that on the back burner. Right now, we must focus all of our efforts on treating Miss Ekaterina!

“Just like that, keep using your healing magic, Mr. Healing magician! I’ll tend to her now!”

Sitting face-to-face with the healing magician who continues to cast healing magic, I examine Miss Ekaterina, who has lost a lot of blood. I imagine circling magical power throughout Ekaterina’s body, perceiving every single cell!

During that examination, across the stabbed wound on the abdomen, I was able to found out that had she sustained several internal wounds and some organs are still damaged, wounds that the healing magician’s magic haven’t been able to treat. Furthermore, the poison is circulating all around her entire body, she can die at any time now.

“!!”
