A girl wearing nun attire and a female knight holding a spear were lying on
the ground.
It was as though they were thrown out from a horse carriage that toppled
over on its side. Even their breathing was feeble.
"Are you two alright!?"
I reflexively dashed toward the two who were lying on the ground in pain.
Their complexion looked horrible.
Sweats were trickling out like waterfall and their breathing was unnaturally
rough.
In addition a lot of corpses of small monster were scattered around the
carriage.
They were twin headed snake with colorful skin.
I think I had read about monster with this kind of appearance somewhere,
but I couldn't remember its name right away.
But it was clear that they were poisonous.
"Are you two poisoned!? We'll treat you now so don't worry!"
"U... gu... traveler... thank god, you really come..."
The female knight's consciousness seemed to be hazy from the poison. She
was muttering incoherently.
In respond I said "It's alright now!" to her while taking out the antidote
that I prepared for when we were going to a long expedition from my bag.
"...Care Heal."
The Sacred Knight Alicia used healing magic.
The skill was mainly effective to treat external injury, but it was an
excellent skill that could also treat abnormal condition as side effect.
At the same time I made the female knight and nun to drink the antidote
that I brought out.
But,
"It's not working...!?"
Perhaps the Care Heal worked somewhat. Their complexion had gotten a bit
better.
But no matter how long I waited, the antidote didn't seem to show any
effect. It should work in dispelling monster poison relatively quickly.
"Ah, don't tell me...!"
There I recalled the name of the twin headed snakes on the ground.
Spotted Snake.
They were unique poisonous snake that should only appear in a certain
dungeon.
Their combat strength wasn't particularly high, but they had poison that was
difficult to treat so many adventurers had met their end from them. They
were monster that adventurer needed to be wary against.
I never thought the side effect of the Armor Ant's mass appearance would
also come up here!
While I was thinking that,
"Spotted Snake's poison can only be treated with a special serum... you
two must have come here from the direction of that large fortress city
Gretona, then perhaps, you have some serums on you...?"
The female knight spoke pleadingly.
But...
"...No, we don't have any right now."
I'm repeating myself here but, Spotted Snake was originally a monster that
only appeared in a certain dungeon. The serum for it was also expensive, so
traveler usually wouldn't go out of their way to carry it for a normal trip.
"N-no way..."
The female knight's expression sunk into despair.
The sister who was listening to my words from the side groaned "Uu"
while staring at me.
"Oo god... if it's my destiny for my life to end here then at the very least
I wish to die within the embrace of a cute gentleman who doesn't wear a
single string of cloth..."
...Does her mind getting affected by the poison?
My attention was distracted for a moment by the delusional words of the
nun (?), but right now wasn't the time to think about that.
The reason was because it was still possible to save these two.
"Alicia, use Care Heal to slow down the poison from spreading as much as
possible."
"...Yes, understand."
Alicia immediately nodded to my words.
At the same time I slipped behind the cover of the carriage, out of sight of
the female knight and the nun.
And then I checked Regina's situation with telepathy and immediately
activated Local Wife.
Regina was inside the shared toilet of the guild. I ignored her mysterious
words "My master is finally going to use me as meat toilet isn't it!?" and
ran at full speed toward the magic item shop.
...Local Wife was a skill to allow me instantly teleporting someone
bound by Master-Servant Contract and I myself.
But at the same time it also teleported the clothes and equipments that
Alicia and I worn together with us.
The baggage we were carrying on the trip this time was also the same.
In other words――I could go pick up the necessary item each time
something unforeseen occurred.
"Excuse me! Do you have serum for Spotted Snake!? Give me two!"
"Y-yes. Of course, we are the best item shop in the city after all."
The shop owner's eyes widened in surprise from my loud voice. But he
took out the items from his stock even while reeling in surprise.
Thank god.
I was worried that there might not be any shop here that had the serum in
stock because the dungeon where Spotted Snake appeared wasn't nearby,
but I was able to get it without problem in the first shop I visited.
I paid the shop owner who was looking at me strangely then immediately
went to back alley where there wasn't anybody around.
I activated Local Wife once more and returned to behind the cover of the
carriage.
"Sorry I was late!"
"Eh...? Don't tell me that's... Spotted Snake's serum!?"
The female knight's eyes widened like saucer seeing the serum in my hand.
It seemed the poison hadn't fully spread thanks to Alicia's skill.
I hurriedly attempted to treat the female knight and the nun using the device
called syringe that was sold as a set with the serum.
The nun's face grimaced with pain when the needle pierced her skin while
voice slipped out of her mouth.
"Uh, guu... something thick entered my body from the ministration of a
gentleman's hand... this stimulation is too strong..."
"I'm also nervous because this is my first time doing this so can you please
stay a bit quiet!?"
I reflexively almost shut her mouth with my penis sword but as expected
doing that to another person was going too far, so I held back myself with
only a verbal warning.
Like that the nun (?) whose mind seemed to be affected by poison fell quiet
while I somehow finished treating the two.
Then the two's complexion was noticeably getting better.
"Astonishing... how am I saved right now? It shouldn't be a lie when
you said that you don't have any serum... no, I won't pry. You saved us.
We will definitely repay you for this kindness."
"It's my first time having a cute gentleman putting rod-shaped thing into
me and also emptying his liquid inside my body without any regard for my
opinion... as I thought it was the correct choice to choose this road!
Thank you very much for saving our lives."
...Strange. The serum should be working, and yet the miss nun's words
are still...
N-no well, in any case, it seemed the two had completely recovered thanks
to the effect of the serum that I managed to obtain using Local Wife.
The skill was really excellent except its name. I thanked its existence inside
my heart.
