I, a Holy-Attributed Healer, Am Surrounded by Beautiful, Big-Breasted Women of the Female Knight Brigade - Chapter 85 - Disease-Carrying Slimes

Chapter 85 – Disease-Carrying Slimes

Although we let the culprit escape, we hurried to Honey-sama with the container of slime we had obtained.

To find clues to the identity and motives of the Disappearing Man, we needed to investigate the disease-carrying slime in detail.

“Salt-san, what on earth is this…”

Honey-sama frowned as she watched the slime moving inside the container.

“This is the disease-carrying slime. This slime was the source of infection and was spreading the disease to the courtesans.”

“I see… so if we investigate this slime, we can find out the cause of the disease.”

“That’s right. Let’s begin our investigation right away.”

I borrowed Honey-sama’s sealed room and began investigating the disease-carrying slime together with Eris.

To Eris, the Emperor Slime, it was like her friend had been treated so cruelly.

I don’t know if she had any sense of camaraderie, but without Eris, I wouldn’t have noticed the monster’s presence.

“Eris, I’ll set up a Holy magic barrier. I’ve asked Honey-sama not to let anyone approach this room, but please be on your guard.”

“Yes! Master.”

With Eris as my assistant, I unleashed the diseased slime.

When I opened the container, the slime squirmed as it produced faint purple and black tumors. It was secreting a strange black liquid.

“This black liquid is the source of the disease…”

As Eris muttered, I unleashed Holy magic.

“Cure! Cure All! Antidote!”

I tried each spell one by one——Cure, Cure All, and Antidote, all of which had detoxifying effects——and watched as they purified the slime.

“Hmm, it seems we can manage this somehow.”

“Yes!”

The black slime also transformed into a pure white slime.

It was the same as with Eris, but since it was a normal slime and not an Emperor Slime, it probably wouldn’t turn into a woman.

By examining the black liquid, one fact became clear.

“This… By having the slime absorb it, they’ve created a pathogen that combines Dark and Death attributes.”

Detoxifying alone, healing alone, or purifying alone can’t completely eliminate it.

“The Dark and Death attributes are the cause of the disease.”

Eris also absorbed the Death attribute before.

However, these smaller slimes were engineered to be pathogens, designed to erode the body from within once absorbed.

“Let’s save the disease-carrying slime as well.”

“Is that even possible?”

“If we understand the cause, we can do something about it. I’ll need Eris’ help too.”

“Yes!”

Eris looked happy as she held the small disease-carrying slime in her palm.

“Do you care about the slime?”

“I am like a queen to them. If they can find happiness, I want to lend them my strength.”

“Understood. We’ll save those we can.”

“Thank you.”

With that promise to Eris, I set out to treat those afflicted by the disease-carrying slimes.

Starting with the most severely ill, I cast an antidote spell to separate the disease-carrying slime from the body, then Eris entered the body and pulled out the slime.

The disease-carrying slime that was dragged out was purified, and the symptoms improved when I cast Holy attribute recovery spell on the person from whom the disease-carrying slime had been removed.

“Phew, it looks like we can manage this.”

“Yes!”

After treating about 20 patients together with Eris, we finally headed towards that brother and sister.

♢

The brother was desperately trying to save his sister, who was afflicted by the disease. Her treatment was the most challenging.

Her symptoms were particularly severe, as the disease-carrying slime had penetrated deeply into her body.

“Eris, are you ready?”

“Yes, Master!”

We headed to the siblings and began treatment.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get better.”

As I spoke to the sister kindly, I created a Holy barrier.

She was naked from all the pain, and her small but cute breasts were exposed.

I told the brother to leave the room, and began preparing for Eris to enter her body.

“Cure!”

The disease-carrying slime was more strongly attached to her than it had been the last time we came here.

“Uuh… Gah!”

The sister groaned in pain, but Eris’ hands slowly removed the slime. I supported her by casting purification and detoxification magic each time.

I understood the situation through Eris’ telepathic messages, and continued with the surgery while being careful not to hurt the sister or cause any aftereffects.

“Just a little more, hang in there!”

I encouraged both the sister and Eris, pouring all my strength into the effort.

In Eris’ hands, the disease-carrying slime gradually lost its power and turned into pure light.

“…Is it over?”

As Eris purified the last of the slime, the sister sighed quietly.

Gradually, color returned to her face, and she wore a peaceful expression.

“Heal!”

“NnNnnn!”

Though her face still showed signs of pain, the sister let out a soft moan and then completely lost consciousness.

“Thank you, Eris.”

I gently stroked little Eris’ head, and although she looked exhausted, she smiled with satisfaction.

“With this, it’s finally resolved.”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“My sister, is she…?”

After putting clothes back on the sister, I invited the brother into the room.

“She’s going to be fine now.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much, doctor!”

“Doctor?”

“Yes! Thanks to you, my sister was saved! I’ll definitely become an adventurer and pay back the medical expenses! Thank you!”

I gave a wry smile to the brother who cried and thanked me over and over again, told him not to worry about the medical expenses, and left the brothel.

In the end, there were 22 disease-carrying slimes, and all of them were following the Emperor Slime Eris, so I accepted them as companions.

Exhausted, I gave Honey-sama my report the next day and returned to the hotel.

I explained to the other four what I had done and asked them to be on the lookout for the Disappearing Man before going to sleep in my hotel room.

However, that night, I witnessed a strange sight.

“Huh?”

I was bathed by the white slimes, and Eris, in her slime body form, washed me.

The bath was bouncy, unlike a normal warm bath, and felt as comfortable as sleeping on a waterbed.

What’s more, the slimes lathered up my entire body, washing me thoroughly, using their soft and squishy bodies to clean me.

I was so exhausted that I let myself go, but to this day, I still can’t tell whether it was a dream or reality.

All I know is——it was amazing!
