The three who returned to the city were met with a vast number of patients.
ㅤ
“Even if we say we’ve solved the root of the problem, the fact that the situation hasn’t changed is a fact.”
ㅤ
Miranda sighs.
ㅤ
According to the report from the security guards, the number of patients has already exceeded 10,000, and the medical system is completely broken.
ㅤ
“We don’t have enough healing mages. If we had medicine, it would be a little easier. . .”
ㅤ
Miranda grinds her teeth in frustration.
ㅤ
Luke also sighed regretfully.
ㅤ
“I can’t handle 10,000 people right away. I used a lot of magical power to restore the water gate earlier.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“You seem to be in trouble.”
ㅤ
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
ㅤ
“Lord Clavi. . .”
ㅤ
Miranda, who turned around, muttered with a bitter face.
ㅤ
It was Clavi, who had parted ways in the dungeon earlier.
ㅤ
“What do you want? We’re busy.”
ㅤ
“Well, I heard that you are leading the black spot fever countermeasure team, so I came to encourage you.”
ㅤ
Clavi approached with a nasty smile, as if there was no friction in the dungeon.
ㅤ
“But at this rate, it might be too late. The road was filled with patients on the way here. If patients die because there is not enough treatment, you will be held responsible.”
ㅤ
“What do you want to say? If you came to say something unpleasant, could you do it later?”
ㅤ
“You want medicine, don’t you?”
ㅤ
“!”
ㅤ
At Clavi’s words, Miranda’s movements stopped.
ㅤ
“There is only one cure for black spot fever. You know what it is, don’t you?”
ㅤ
“. . .The magic potion you monopolize.”
ㅤ
“That’s right! The magic potion of the Selfis Chamber of Commerce! There is no other way to cure black spot fever!”
ㅤ
Clavi puffed out his chest proudly at Miranda’s grumbling.
ㅤ
“No, I’m not reluctant to provide the medicine. It’s a national crisis. It’s a natural duty as a council member.”
ㅤ
Clavi continued to talk with a grin.
ㅤ
“But I have to protect the lives of my employees as the head of the Chamber of Commerce. Especially in this kind of emergency, I need to build up a little foundation to withstand anything. Do you understand? This is the hardship of being at the top. It’s a world you can’t imagine as a single security guard.”
ㅤ
“What do you want to say!”
ㅤ
Miranda shouted at Clavi, who was being coy.
ㅤ
“If you came to say that, I’d like you to go back quickly! As you can see, I am. . .”
ㅤ
“Well, well, isn’t it okay for a little while? I thought you should know as the head of the countermeasure team, so I came all the way here. As I said earlier, I will provide the 《Antil》. You should be happy because it will reduce your troubles.”
ㅤ
Clavi looked down at Miranda with a triumphant look.
ㅤ
“But I’ll have to raise the price a bit. Let’s see. . . I’ll make the wholesale price about 10 times the current wholesale price.”
ㅤ
“You bastard!”
ㅤ
Miranda lunged at Clavi.
ㅤ
“Are you still going to say that after seeing this situation! You’ve seen it too, haven’t you! The sight of residents writhing in pain on the streets! Are you going to make their lives bait for your desires!”
ㅤ
Swinging a fist in anger.
ㅤ
“Eek!”
ㅤ
“That’s not acceptable!”
ㅤ
Luke hurriedly tries to stop Miranda.
ㅤ
“Don’t stop me! This guy is human scum! Such a person. . . Such a person shouldn’t be at the core of our state!”
ㅤ
“Please hold back! If you give in to violence now, all our past efforts will be in vain!”
ㅤ
“If you want to hit, then hit!”
ㅤ
Luke desperately tries to persuade, while Clavi shouts provocatively.
ㅤ
“I must say, this isn’t something you can handle! At tomorrow’s council meeting, the purchase of 《Antil》 will be discussed. It’s already arranged to pass. In other words, whatever you do here, the result won’t change.”
ㅤ
“You. . .”
ㅤ
Miranda glares at Clavi with bloodshot eyes.
ㅤ
Seeing this, Clavi’s nostrils flare with more delight.
ㅤ
“Don’t be so mad. I might consider lowering the price for your efforts. But you’ll have to apologize for your previous rudeness to me.”
ㅤ
Clavi’s face twists into a sneer.
ㅤ
“How about this. . . First, strip naked and prostrate yourself. Then, I might reconsider the wholesale price of ‘Antir.'”
ㅤ
“What?!”
ㅤ
Miranda freezes.
ㅤ
Clavi’s face twists even more at her expression.
ㅤ
His face is more of mockery than of assured victory.
ㅤ
“You’ve made a fine face now! Thinking you can challenge someone of my privileged class! That face suits the likes of you lower class!”
ㅤ
After a bout of laughter, Clavi leers at Miranda.
ㅤ
“If you’re too embarrassed to do it here, you can do it later, just in front of me. I’ll leave the bedroom door open. If you wish, I might even consider what comes after.”
ㅤ
“This. . . scum. . .”
ㅤ
Miranda is so angry she can’t find the words.
ㅤ
“Think well. Your decision could save the suffering citizens. It’s time to fulfill your duty as the captain of security. . . Pang!”
ㅤ
Clavi’s face suddenly twists sideways with a loud crack, as he grins maliciously.
ㅤ
“W, What did you do!”
ㅤ
Clavi glares at Luke, his nose bleeding profusely.
ㅤ
“What do you mean?”
ㅤ
“Don’t play dumb! You just slapped me! This is assault! I won’t forgive you even if you’re a foreigner!”
ㅤ
“What are you talking about? I was behind Miranda-san. How could I have reached you?”
ㅤ
Luke shrugs his shoulders.
ㅤ
In reality, unable to tolerate Clavi’s despicableness, Luke extended his prosthetic left arm and struck him.
ㅤ
“You’d better be careful.”
ㅤ
Luke points behind him, where Alma is lifting a huge desk over her head.
ㅤ
“I think she suddenly wanted to rearrange the room, but it might just fall on your head.”
ㅤ
Clavi’s face turns pale.
ㅤ
“Hmph! You can’t do anything! Struggle all you want! Miranda, if you change your mind, feel free to come!”
ㅤ
Clavi leaves with a parting shot.
