However, it was after 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., but no one came to pick her up.
She tried to leave her room, but there were four guards in the hallway, forbidding her to go out without permission.
Finally, when it was almost eleven o'clock, the door opened.

"Elsa," he said. Come. We'll go to King Father together."
It was Edmond, the first prince.
"Yes, yes."

Elsa stands up, a little nervous. She is not used to his crude behavior.
"Get ready, quickly!
I'm ready, sir.

That's all right. Come on."
Prince Edmund walked down the hallway without looking back. Elsa and Edgar followed him.
Following the same route as the day before, Elsa arrived at the bedchamber of Alois III.

"...... Yesterday, right after your treatment, my father's condition seemed to improve. But this morning he looks the same as before. Do something. No, do something.
Elsa thought she saw a hint of sadness in Prince Edmund's face as he said that bluntly.
However, she reminded herself that now was the time to examine the patient and proceeded with her examination, focusing on the parasite.

Of course, the liver area is examined. However, no parasites are found in the liver. Again, he says that this is not possible.

This time, I decided to examine the case in more detail and in a separate section.
"......This," he said, "is not the liver.
It was not the liver, but the gallbladder and its bile ducts that were attached to the liver.

Once again, the bile duct was examined in detail.
"...... was there. This is ......"

It is a flat oval object about 10 mm in size (...). It must be a parasite.
"Elsa, what have you found out?
Prince Edmond notices that Elsa has changed color during the examination. He grabbed Elsa by the shoulders and hurried to her.

"Yes, yes. ...... We found a parasite in your gall bladder. Perhaps this is the cause."
"What? A parasite? What the hell is that?
Prince Edmond, however, tilted his head as if he had never heard of a parasite.

"You! I hope you're not talking out of your ass. ......"
After saying that much, he noticed the seriousness on Elsa's face and kept his mouth shut.
"......Sorry. I was out of line. You are taking my father's condition very seriously."

Prince Edmond apologized and released his grip on Elsa's shoulder.
"...... Parasites," he said, "are tiny creatures that live inside the human body."
"...... hmm. Are these the kind of blood-sucking insects you see in the fields and mountains?"

"Yes. That is correct. And the insects that have been nesting there are eating away at the inside of your body and releasing toxins, which is why you've become so ill, Your Majesty.
"So, can it be cured!"
"......"

To remove the parasites nestled in the bile ducts, a surgical operation is required.
It can be done at .......
"Let me talk to my brother, Jin Nido, please."

Noon.
Elsa was talking to Jin.

No, to be precise, in addition to the two of them, Hannah, the third Princess of Rieschen, the first Prince Edmund, the second Prince Arthur, and the Prime Minister Powell were also present.
After an early lunch, they gathered for a tea party-like atmosphere, but what was being discussed was far from a tea party.

Jin placed a miniature craftsman (smith) on the table.
"Greetings, Minasan."
"...... Oh!"

Everyone in the Klein Kingdom, except Princess Rieschen, who was watching at the technology expo, looked at each other with wide-eyed amazement. Jin continued.
"The mini-craftsmen (smiths) can perform movements several times more precise than humans.
In reality, it is dozens of times more, but Jin explained it in a slightly discounted manner.

Elsa takes over the explanation.
"We will take out the parasite and at the same time, we will apply a "Feligenesen" to the wound to heal it. This is the outline of the treatment.

"......"
All the listeners were silent. Hannah also looks mysterious, as if she understands half of what is going on.
"......Well, from what I've heard, it sounds like it will work. But has this treatment been proven?"

This is Prince Edmond. It is a natural question. We cannot allow an uncertain treatment to the king of a country.
The same procedure was used to remove the aguch from the demon tribe, so we can assume that there is nothing wrong with the procedure.
However, this is the first time for Erza to perform the treatment, and above all, we cannot give out information on the demon tribe here.

The actual surgical operation will be performed by a mini-craftsman (Smith), but I guess the kingdom is concerned about his track record.
"...... Then, I have a proposal."
This time it was Prince Arthur who spoke up.

"There are probably several people in the Kingdom who need the same kind of treatment. We should try the current treatment on them, and if there is no problem, we can ask my father to treat them as well. How about that?
Jin felt a little uncomfortable as if he was being asked to experiment on the human body before treating the king, but it was a perfectly natural idea in this world.
"Yes, that's a good idea! That's great, Arthur."

"Well, discretion is for the subordinates. Those in charge should be able to trust, evaluate, and make decisions."

To interrupt the brothers' exchange, Prime Minister Powell gave one deliberate cough and then spoke his conclusion.
"......Then, Miss Elsa, you will examine the sick people we have indicated and treat them if they have similar illnesses, is that correct?"
Although he was a prince, the Dauphin had not yet been chosen, and the Prime Minister was the most senior person in this situation.

"I understand."
Erza nodded her head in agreement.
"Then, we will look for the patient, and Miss Elsa will have to wait until we find him or her.

He then turned to Jin.
"May I ask Your Highness Rieschen to continue to serve as Jin-dono's host?"
"Yes, I will be responsible for Jin and Hanna's company.

I will be responsible for Jin and Hanna's partner. ...... Well then, everyone, I guess that's that.
With this, the unofficial but potentially fate-determining meeting of the Klein Kingdom came to an end.
"Miss Erza will stay with Jin-dono and the others until a suitable patient can be found, is that correct?"

There was no objection to that either.
At any rate, the Prime Minister's face began to brighten for the first time in a long while now that he had a clear idea about the treatment of the King of the Kingdom of Klein.
"Elsa, thank you."

After returning to the guest room in the palace, Jin first thanked Erza for her efforts.
"Thanks to ...... Jin's advice. Thank you."
Erza thanked Jin.

"If you hadn't suggested the possibility of parasites yesterday,........."
"Yes, I'm glad we improved Edgar before we left.
Just being able to talk to him through the old man is a big advantage.

"Are you okay with the surgery?"
"Yes. I just have to close the wound.
In fact, it was the mini-craftsmen (smiths) who were in charge of the difficult work, and they were trustworthy because they shared the same experience in the demon territory.

The rest was just a matter of building a track record to gain the trust of the people of the kingdom.
"I'm helping people, I'll do my best."
"Yeah, good luck."

"Good luck, girl."
Both Jin and Hannah supported Erza's decision.
