Licia and Pascoe had stopped in Racneau and Doppa, and had reached the town of Charles in the evening.
During that time, he treated 4 people in Lacheneau. In Doppa, he treated six people. No one had yet developed symptoms more serious than weakness.
Then came the town of Charles. Here, for the first time, he treated two patients with fever. Pascoe was skeptical, but Licia, who trusted Jin, administered it without hesitation.

As a result, Pascoe was surprised to see the patients healed in no time at all, and he realized the power of Jin.
That day he went around the town until late at night, treating those he suspected and giving remedies to those who had fever.
"After all, here in Charles Town, you treated 62 people and gave 15 people medicine. The number seems to be increasing as we get closer to Rakham.

"Yes, that's right. There is no doubt that the disease is at least showing signs of spreading. Lysia, I think we should make an additional report to the kingdom.
"I will do so. I will do so. ...... I will be up early again tomorrow morning to get ready for departure, so I should get some rest.
It was around 11:00 p.m., and considering that he had been up since 4:00 a.m., it was quite a strenuous day's work.

"Oh yes, let's drink that Persica juice that Jin-san gave us and go to bed," he said.
I'm tired, so I'm going to bed.
Licia went out to the front of the inn, took some juice from the golem horse, and took a sip. She took a sip of the juice from the golem horse and drank the rest of it at once. She downed the rest of the juice in one gulp, and the fatigue that had built up in her core seemed to disappear.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin. ......"
Licia thanked Jin, who was probably in the village of Kaina, and went to bed in a relaxed mood.
The next day, the 19th, she left at 5 am.

Pascoe looked tired, so Licia suggested he drink Persian juice.
Pascoe drank it skeptically and was surprised to find that his physical tiredness, not to mention drowsiness, disappeared.
"......I really wonder who this Jin-dono is. ......"

There is nothing to be done for those who have already developed the disease.

Jin was right in his assumption that if Medicare could render them harmless, Genezing would be more effective.
Pegasus 1 with Jin, Elsa, and Reiko onboard traveled to Dakhroz, Sor, Zuk, and the surrounding towns in order, focusing on Rakham, where the pathogen was thought to have first been spread, and administered the treatment.
According to the report from the 5th column (Quinta) dispatched to the capital, there were still no cases in the capital city of Arban and the neighboring city of Gaara, but just to be safe, we also treated the surrounding areas, including there.

As a side note, there is an anecdote that the treatment with the treatment device (treatment mentor) at that time cured people who were sick except for magical exhaustion fever. Whether or not this will cause a commotion later on, who knows.

Licia and Pascoe had entered Rakham.
In a small village on the way there, which does not even appear on the map, there were five people with fever. All of them recovered with remedies.
However, the two who entered the town of Rakham with a gloomy feeling of ...... how many people were sick in Rakham, which seemed to be the center of the disease, were disappointed in a good way.

"So you are saying that you were suddenly cured of your illness yesterday?"
"Yes, that's right."
Licia had come to Count Walter's house. The butler who had served her the night before came out to greet her.

"Now, please tell me what you know about your illness.
Licia said in a strong tone of voice and the butler began to confess.
"A guest of the Count of ...... did it. I do not know his name or identity.

The butler confided that he himself had been suffering from fever until yesterday and was willing to cooperate with the investigation.
It was not surprising, since Count Walter, who had instructed him to do so, was no longer of this world and had no one left to whom he could turn for loyalty.
"You mean to say that this guest, at the Count's direction, somehow transmitted the disease to the pigeons I had with me?"

"Yes. The Count got what was coming to him, or rather, he got what he deserved. ......
"Can you testify to that before the Kingdom judges?"
"...... I can."

Thus, Count Walter's crimes were exposed.
At the same time, the deliberate escape of labor offenders from the Inard mine and the attempt to hoard salt and unjustly prevent its distribution would all come to light.
There were many more small crimes, to the dismay of Licia and Pascoe, who were listening to the story.

"Well, then, Mr. Pascoe, I'm going to ask you to keep an eye on them, is that all right?"
There were no soldiers or knights stationed in Laxham under the direct jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Klein. Therefore, Licia had no choice but to ask Pascoe to watch over Count Walter's vassals.
With Count Walter gone, it was unlikely that the vassals would escape, but they could not be left unchecked.

The medicines and other items on Pascoe's golem horse would be left untouched. The reason for this was in case the disease recurred.
But Licia had a feeling that there would be no more sick people in the future. She did not know how, but she thought that Jin might have done something.
Before parting from Pascoe and leaving Rakham, Licia bowed her head to Pascoe.

"Mr. Pascoe, I'm sorry."
"Ms. Licia!

Pascoe spoke to Licia in a firm tone.
"I didn't know you cared about that. But I'm sure that if we didn't stay here, they would have planned it in their own way. So there is no need to be concerned! If anything, it was Licia's presence that made it possible for us to return home so quickly while taking countermeasures!"
Pascoe's tone became more and more passionate.

"Besides, I, no, I misunderstood you too, Jin-dono. Licia-san trusted him so much.
Pascoe scratches his head apologetically. Licia looked at Pascoe for a while and then gave a small chuckle.
"Thank you for ......, Mr. Pascoe. It makes me feel a little better.

No wonder the Prime Minister shouted out loud.
It was the news that the magical wasting fever that had been bothering him all night long had been treated and measures taken to prevent the spread of the disease had been completed.
"My God, ...... who the hell is this deus ex machina ......?"

I'm honestly happy to hear that they've solved the magical exhaustion fever. At the same time, however, Prime Minister Powell felt threatened by the mysterious deus ex machina who possessed the power to do such a thing.
The next day, the 20th, Licia returned to the capital city of Alban.
The Prime Minister heard a detailed report on the situation in the village of Kaina, on the hospitality accorded to Jin, and on the magical exhaustion fever that had been triggered by Count Walter's deviousness.

According to the report, Jin has some kind of connection with deus ex machina. Knowing Jin's ability, it was not surprising to the Prime Minister. In fact, it makes sense.
"...... Jin, or ...... now, the best thing to do is to try not to spoil his good mood. We'll see what we can do. ......
The biggest problem now is what to do with Count Walter. Although he is no longer of this world, his actions are so vicious and unthinking.

The steward and his men as witnesses are under Pascoe's watch, so I instructed the Fourth Order to capture him and take him away as soon as possible.
