"Comrade Ars, I think we're almost done with the human anatomy drawings."

"Wow, that was fast, Meme."

"Mm. The number of deaths usually increases in winter. It's not surprising, since there were so many specimens to examine.

"I see. ....... I'd really like to reduce the number of people who can't make it over the winter."

"That's the way it has to be, my comrade. You are not a god. It's nature's way of making sure that people die in the winter.

"Well, I'm used to it by now, but emotionally I hate to see people freezing in the cold and dying on an empty stomach. I'll have to give him more work."

"Hmm. Having traveled all over, it seems to me that here in Vulcania the number of deaths in winter is quite low: ....... This does not convince you, comrade. That's what I'm talking about."

"Don't flatter yourself, meme. So, now that you're on track to finish the anatomy drawings, are you going to be able to finish the book?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, that will take a while. Mr. Mosh is working hard and staying up all night to draw the illustrations. After he completes the diagrams, I will write explanations to match the diagrams. I need a little more time.

"Okay. There's no need to rush. Just make sure you're satisfied with your work. Also, when you finish it, show it to me first, okay?"

Of course, of course. I would like my comrades to see it.

And you came all the way here to tell me this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's right. That's important, but that's not why I came all the way here to see my comrade. It's about the herbs you entrusted to me."

"Medicinal herbs?　I grow it in a greenhouse in the next village. What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I went to see this greenhouse thing myself, and it's nice. It's great."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right?　I've received reports that medicinal herbs that only grow in the warmer months are now being grown well. With those, we might be able to increase the production of medicines."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. That's exactly the point. I've traveled all over the world, and I never thought I'd see anything like that. Just knowing about the greenhouse makes my visit to Barca worthwhile.

"That's great. So what's up with the herbs in the greenhouse, Meme? Are you planning to start clinical trials already?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Since it will take Mr. Mosh some time to complete the illustrations, I think we can start with something simple, what do you think?　If only my comrade would say yes, I'd like to get started right away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. As long as it doesn't delay the completion of the anatomy chart, Meme.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, thank you. Well, let's get started on the preparations. ...... Speaking of which, what drug should we start with for the clinical trial?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, ......, I'd like you to start with drugs for cuts and for food poisoning, nausea and diarrhea. All of these are life-threatening."

"I see, so you have experience on the battlefield. I understand. There are several kinds of medicines for that kind of thing. Let's make sure we know which one is effective and how effective it is.

"Oh, Meme. I'm gonna make sure you understand, this is not human experimentation. Make sure you get their consent before you test them. No forcing them to take drugs.

"Ha-ha-ha, I know what you mean. Leave it to me, my comrade."

　I warn him and he responds with a loud laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I wonder if he's really all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure he knows a lot about medicine, but I can't help feeling that he's more interested in his own interests.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, memes need to be monitored.

　Mosh, the painter, seems to be busy right now, so let's put another one on.

"As usual, Ars is doing strange things with strange people, isn't he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean 'as usual', Kyle? I'm not doing anything weird.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think only my brother Ars thinks so. But is it really necessary to do something like that experiment?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's necessary for the advancement of medicine. Kyle would know that, wouldn't he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But you're in good health, aren't you, Mr. Ars, and you don't get sick much. He doesn't need any medicine, does he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's because I have [meditation]. After a night's sleep, I'm fine. I don't get sick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then maybe you don't have to do it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's not true. Medicine does not consist only of medicine. There's surgery, too, where you cut open what's wrong with the body. If you were to undergo a surgical operation, you would want to make sure it is safe now, wouldn't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But, brother Ars, why don't you just ask Bishop Paul to cast a recovery spell on you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, Kyle is certainly right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that knights who are wounded on the battlefield receive recovery magic at the church to heal their bodies and then go back to the battlefield again, so surgery may not be necessary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that's only because I can afford to pay for the restorative magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The common people cannot receive the healing magic that requires quite expensive treatment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still think that medical research is necessary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, after all these years, I still feel that the development of medicine alone is not enough for human life and death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a fact that it is taken for granted that people die in winter around here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Every year, people who do not have their own farmland come to the city in search of food and work, and they die in the winter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought I knew this to some extent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, having been born and raised in the village all my life, I did not really feel it in my actual experience.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this has changed a little since Vulcania was built.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even in the town I built, I saw that many people died in the winter and could not greet the spring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is not simply a medical problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The availability of food and the cold are important causes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not saying that I want to save all the people or help them, but if there is something I can do to help as far as I can see, I want to do something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, looking at the still snowy landscape, I decided to think about countermeasures against the winter cold.
