The Adventure of a Boy with the Mind of a Middle-Aged Man

Vol. 4 - Chapter 44 - Resolution of the contagious disease

After several hours of work, all the patients have been gathered in a certain section.

I collected f*ces from all the houses through the magic in one place and put into a big hole. And thoroughly sterilized all the toilets where wastes were with the sodium hypochlorite, developed by the science team of our company.

For the starving people without any disabilities, they were given the food to build up their endurance and prevent infection.

For those who actually have symptoms showing up, after using the recovery magic until their body has been healed to a certain point, they are then administered intravenous infusion through an IV tube and intravenous antibiotics. In addition, buckets were placed under the luggage carrier and have them excrete in them.

That's all that could have been done in this place. We can only try to do our best with this.

?

It has begun to process well somehow. However the pressuring thing is there isn't enough fit and fine manpower to help.

As I was worrying about the number of helpers ??

"By whose permission do you think you're doing as it pleases you!!!"

A small mustache man, seemingly a civil official judging from his lascivious appearance, comes upto to me and noisily prattle on.

"Are you sure you want me to stop? This is korori you know. Do you know how many lives will be gone if left untreated! Not to say you guys too!" [T/N : Cholera is called Korori in this world as mentioned before. Mc used Korori when talking to other people and Cholera in the monologue]

I said without stopping my busy hand as I activated recovery magic, made an isolated place for patients and connected the infusion tube.

"Ko, Korori...... "

At my words, the face of the small mustache man twitched and even the soldiers behind began to retreat.

"Ah, that's right! Let's have the help of you guys! Put on the mask and gloves from there and soak these used clothes in the hot water. After you've done, spray this liquid in the surrounding"

"W-Why we??"

"Just shut up and do it!! If you didn't help, not to mention these patients, even your family may die!!"

Cholera isn't such an easy disease to handle. Especially in places like this with an undeveloped health care system.

"Damn it!"

The civil official with a small mustache approaches the mask and gloves with a crying face.

"You guys, teach them how to do it!"

"O-Ok!"

With this, I once again return to focus on treatment.

Olivia, who came looking for me since I was late in getting back as the night got deeper, also helped and we devoted ourselves to treatment completely.

In the beginning, Prince Franco along with the Count Noval tried to bring back Olivia but as soon they heard it was Cholera, they went as far as to take refuge in the private villa of neighborhood Count.

However, in a sense, it can be said that it was godsend that those noisy bunch left from here.

Thanks to the civil official with a small mustache persuading his co-workers and the group of wealthy people, helping hands also increased.

And it took around three weeks for the cholera to finally settle in this place.

When I woke up after sleeping like a dog for a whole day in the inn, I heard I had been called to the mansion of Count Noval. Anyway, it wouldn't be anything decent.

As I followed after the guide Arnold, the civil official with small mustache, I found all the soldiers and town's civil official who had helped in the operation gathered in the first floor of the inn. Seeing me, everyone immediately straightened their posture and assumed the salute by putting a hand on their chest.

Then Arnold took a step ahead and ??

"It's all thanks to Grey-dono that we all are here without losing anyone. On behalf of this city, we are extremely grateful to you"

he bowed. These people have changed considerably. Pretty much all were grumbling out the complaint in the beginning but now, they are enthusiastically discussing the future with the people of slums. Maybe, they have found something like a goal in their life through the act of rescuing people.

"No problem. You guys will be the one to protect this city from now on"

"Leave it to us"

Arnold starts walking as he taps his chest with his right fist.

Looking at Olivia who was watching the scene coming following after me who started to walk,

"I'm the only one called though?"

I pointed out the fact.

"I'm just accompanying you till the entrance of the mansion. You will not mind that, do you?"

"As it suits you"

Either way, it would be something like disciplinary action for acting without permission in the territory, and it will be over soon.

"Don't act any reckless"

"That depends on their attitude"

Noble lineage aristocrats are already at their death's door. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed. However if they began to act insane, I might detach Ruddle from the empire and raise up a civil war at the worst. But, this is also interesting. Anyway, even without me, it's just a matter of time if a situation like the slum of this territory frequently appears.
