Reinforcement
The next morning
I immediately headed down to Malkin's to drop off the guy I had captured.
It took me about half a day to meet Malkin, who was very surprised to see me.
"So, you came all the way here in half a day carrying a grown man on your back?"
"Hmm? Yeah, I'm confident in my physical strength."
There are no physical problems
The only problem I had was that it kept making a lot of noise behind me.
"Is this brainwashing?"
"Brainwashing... do you think you can break it?"
"I’m sorry, but I don’t have any such knowledge…"
Well, there's no way a knight could do that.
"What's this sin he's muttering about?"
"I think it's probably this skin disease."
"Ah, I heard a little about that from Chrono. Do you know the cure or the cause?"
"Unfortunately, we still don't know that either."
According to Malkin's explanation, this disease unique to the Isalka people suddenly appeared over 100 years ago.
Although it is not a deadly disease, efforts are being made to eradicate it as it is considered a bad omen, but no results have been achieved so far.
"The Isalka tribe says that a clan that falls to the white skin will lose its five eyes forever."
"Is it true?"
"It's just what they say, there's no proof, but..."
"Are there still no people who have had vitiligo had five eyes?"
"Yes…"
But why does only the Isalka tribe suffer from it?
"Are there any people in the principality other than the Isalka tribe who have contracted the disease?"
"I've never heard of such a thing."
Does that mean it's unlikely that it's bacteria or viruses?
As I think about this, I hear a familiar sound from far away.
"W-what kind of sound is that?"
Malkin seems to hear it too.
"Oh, it's an airship."
It's no ordinary airship either.
It's the sound of Yukikaze's prototype airship.
It passed over Malkin's house at lightning speed.
The windows and doors are shaking and making noises, probably due to the impact.
"A helper has arrived."
"Is that an airship?"
"Yeah"
If that thing came, it does mean it just brought a fairy with it.
There must be something.
"Well, Malkin, take care of this man."
"Y-yeah, I'm on it."
"Please look forward to the situation being resolved!"
And with that, I'll go back to Wince and the others.
Malkin kept looking at me confused.
