Currently, it was found that most of the western territory was under the influence of the divine tree.

　Plant seeds were carried through the wind and living things, spreading endlessly. The divine tree, which has regained its power, obtains information through its military units that have taken root in various areas and can tell me about the remote areas if necessary.

　Based on Mr. Hartner's symptoms, I concluded that the infection was caused by the venom of the Beni Madara mite. The necessary ingredient for the antidote can be extracted from the Lansen thistle, a plant unique to the West and often overlooked because it grows among the weeds on the roadside.

　--But even if you can make an antidote, Kufiqa seemed uneasy about entrusting the treatment to a doctor who was still unable to administer effective treatment to Mr. Hartner.

(Should I still go ...... The wounded from yesterday's battle also need to be examined for their wounds. Given the travel time, the only thing I can do is to give instructions ......)

My Lord and Master Summoner.
Hmm. ......?　Hey, Lune, what's up?　We're talking about something important, so now we have to go to .......
This one is important too, my summoner. I want to help you.
'...... This one is fine, we'll be waiting for you. We'll be happy to talk to you.

　Kufiqa had a thoughtful look on her face, but she smiled at Lune, who was grabbing the hem of my clothes, as if she didn't think she could show that face in front of a young child.

　I walked back to the carriage at Lune's request. Ray from Mandrake seems to want to talk to me, too, together.

'I'm sorry to worry you, did I look difficult?'
The Summoner has a lot of patients who are worried about him. Then I will take the place of the Summoner!
...... We're very familiar with the poison thing. We make poison in our bodies.
'You mean you're going to go to ...... the Reinfeldt family compound for me?　But Lune and Ray won't let you do anything like a doctor when you're so small.

　Lune and Ray looked at each other. And for some reason, they laughed happily at each other.

'Wait ...... wait. Since both Alraune and Ray are under contract with me, can you ...... give them both treatment instructions? If you touch the affected area, we can identify it if it's different from the poison you predicted, and we can instruct them to respond.
''That's right, the Summoner and us are connected no matter how far apart we are. We're even connected back in the spirit world, so it doesn't matter where we go in this material world, we're still connected.
'Children are only so because they are minimally embodied. Spirits, there is no age. They can be more mature than the Summoner.

　Until now, it would have been impossible with my magic capacity to materialize Rune and the others in a remote area and keep them in shape.

　But now it's different - I can borrow magic power from the local plants, and I can give them the magic power they need through the Divine Tree's attendants in various places. Your Highness's magic power is not inexhaustible, but it will accumulate too much in your body if you let it go, so it must be used in moderation.

　Even now, I continue to receive magic power from His Highness through his will. It's a good thing that you have a lot more in your pocket than you consume, but thanks to that, my magic capacity itself is increasing at a very small rate - this will give me more freedom in terms of the degree of embodiment of Lune and Ray.

...... If this is successful, if it works with the town's clinic, I'll be able to treat all the people in the territory by me, right?
'That's right, I'm going to ask the doctor in town to plant some bulbs for me. If you have a fellow flower, you can embody it there at any time. Once you break the embodiment and return to the spirit world, you can be summoned back to the summoner anywhere.

　I can't travel ten thousand miles in an instant, but a spirit can. It means that when Lune finishes his duties, he can be sent back at any time.

''I see. ...... But it's hard for Lei to go with Lune. I suppose we can separate the roots, but pulling them out of the ground would be a big deal.
...... It's inevitable. This time, I'll stay home. But I want to grow up to be useful to the Summoner one day.

　Ray looks at Lune with envy. If anything, the situation will be more tense when she borrows Ray's power - her power is more skilled in the direction of subduing the enemy in an instant and restraining their movements than Lune's. In some cases, she can annihilate the enemy, that's the kind of power Mandrake has.

''Then I want you to let me use ...... magic power more than it is now. Until now, I had to use less so that the summoner-sama's magic power wouldn't run out.''
You've been good to me, ...... Lune, you can use your magic as much as you like. You can use your magic as much as you like, but try to materialize it into your ideal form.
Yes, ...... would like you to do some chanting.
Okay. ''O glossy flower blooming in the garden of bewitching flowers, I am the source of strength. With me as your source of strength, bloom even bigger and brighter ......!

　In response to my chanting, the magic power flowing into Lune increases - I felt a little lost at first, but the magic power is soon compensated for. Even this is not a burden with the amount of magic power of your highness. This is because the magic power that was constantly flowing out of her was not in this amount.

　And Lune, who sucked up the magic power like water, grew up in the carriage's cabin as he watched - from the appearance of about ten years old to fifteen years old. And when he had grown a bit more, the change stopped.

'Wow ...... he has long limbs. He's a spirit, so his clothes have grown with him!

　Even the young Alraune was adorable, but as she grew up, her beauty stood out as if she had just blossomed. Even Ray, who was watching beside her, was transfixed.

''It's amazing ...... grown up. Raune has become a big sister .......
'If the flowers are big enough, they stand out, so they have to look like a hairpiece. Summoner-sama, can you rely on me for this?
'Oh, oh ...... yes. It's more than I can imagine and I honestly don't have the words to describe it, but ......

　◆ ◆ ◆

　I was to send Lune out on an errand in my place and let her have the antidote. The Reinfeldt family looked away until we were out of sight - Kufiqa, who had Lune riding with him on his own horse, bowed to us at the end and followed his brothers.

'Since Alraune is a spirit, you can call her to you, can't you? I haven't tried to learn about spirits until now, so it never ceases to amaze me.
''If you don't mind, I would like to speak with you again. I think it would be better for Your Highness to know more about the spirits.
''That's right. Now that I've gotten through to the divine tree, I can see how profound spirits are and how deeply involved they are with people. Since we are borrowing their power, we should understand them as much as possible.

　And by the time we returned to the fortress, Rune had arrived at the Reinfeldt house and received permission to see Mr. Hultner's condition in person for treatment.

　--a fungal infection caused by an infection caused by the venomous tick that had weakened his resistance. Even in the remote area, Rune followed my instructions well, and the inflammation caused by the poison that had been consuming Mr. Hartner eventually began to show signs of subsiding, and I felt a sense of relief in my chest as I made the rounds of patients in the fortress's medical wing.

　But it wasn't until the evening that peace was restored in the fortress.

　A messenger from Central Command had come with a written order to order the return of the prisoners detained in the Isle Rose Fortress.
