I Am Sought After by Everyone in a Different World Where the Power and Chastity of Men and Women Are Reversed - 74

Chapter 74: Recover

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“….I see. This might be it…”

“Souma?! Did you find something?!”

“Yeah, I think I might have.”

“Oohh! That’s Souma for you!”

“….But, is there something wrong?”

Realizing the glum expression on my face, Flora asked. However, the problem wasn’t the book.

The problem was… There was something I hadn’t told everyone yet and it seemed, now was the time for me to come clean with everyone.

“Well… There’s actually one more thing I’ve been keeping from everyone…”

◆ ◇ ◆

“Oh? Souma-dono. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Your Majesty, there’s something I would like to discuss about Deva-san. Could I speak in private with you?”

“….About Deva-san?… Very well. I will hear what you have to say.”

◆ ◇ ◆

“So, what is it?”

We moved to Deva-san’s bedroom. There were only Deva-san, who was lying sick in bed due to romak disease, the king and me in this room. Elmie and the others were standing guard outside with Flora using her magic to ensure no one could overheard anything. Colette-san and Jennie-san were also waiting outside. 

Even though today was our first meeting, but the king had shown how deeply she trusted us. Like how the king readily gave us the permission to enter the library and even now. The king didn’t seem worried being alone with me. Indeed. Trust that was built up over time either through reputation or rumors was important indeed. 

“I would like to try healing Deva-san again. However, could you please keep what happens in this room a secret?”

“…..I can see Souma-dono has something plaguing your mind. Very well, as long as there’s a possibility of having Deva-dono cured, I swear I won’t tell anyone about what happens here, no matter what.”

“Thank you. Well then, here I go. Recover!”

“Ooh! This is…!”

A brilliant light enveloped Deva-san. The light was far more intense than any healing magic I had casted. 

“….Ugh… Where…Am I?”

“De-Deva-dono!!! Do-Do you recognize who I am?!”

“Your Majesty… Where is… This place?”

“Ooohhh!! This is a miracle!!”

Phewwww…. Fortunately, the magic I casted was a success.

“Souma-dono! What was that magic just now…?”

“Well, first thing first. Let’s have Deva-san’s attending physician check his condition. I will explain the rest later.”

Deva-san’s physician checked on his condition and it turned out, while his physical strength and muscle mass had deteriorated, but the romak disease that had been plaguing him had been cured. The final prognosis was that Deva-san needed to eat nutritious food and rehabilitate his weakened body gradually. And eventually, he would regain his former health. 

And now, I was facing the king, just the two of us, in her room. Elmie, Colette-san and Jenie-san were waiting outside. 

“Your Majesty, there’s something I’ve been hiding. Actually, I’m not from this world.”

◆ ◇ ◆

“…..Hmmm… So in that world men are stronger and you have equal numbers of men and women… Women’s chastity is more precious too… Well, if Souma-dono says so, then it must be true. Still, it’s a bit hard to believe all of this new information.”

I told the king that I came from another world. I had told Elmie and the others about this too before my audience with the king. 

“…No, what’s even more surprising is the existence of a job called male saint, which is even higher than male miko. Even though male miko is already high enough in the ranking… This fact truly comes as a surprise.”

In addition to telling them that I came from another world, I also came clean about my real job. 

“I found information about a male saint in this book. Apparently, there’s another male saint called Sir Jonard a long time ago.”

“Let me see… Hmm… I can’t read it. Come to think of it, could Souma-dono read this?”

“Yes. I don’t know how, but it seems I can speak any language in this world. Well, not just speak. I can read and write everything just fine.”

“….Having such linguistic ability is already remarkable enough. I can imagine someone like Souma-dono would be highly coveted for translation work in the capital. Anyway, Sir Jonard,huh… It’s strange to know we have no record about someone as great as him.”

“Well, it seems at that time, the job system was still a mystery. The people at that time didn’t even know that a male saint was a rare existence. According to this book, someone called Sir Jonard saved many people from injuries and illness. However, there were no detailed explanations about his job.”

“Hm… That’s right. Knowledge about jobs wasn’t compiled in great detail back then.”

“But they had recorded the names of magic spells Sir Jonard had used. Well, they didn’t write any detailed information about Sir Jonard’s job, but thanks to this book, I was able to find the magic spells needed to treat Deva-san’s illness.”

Apparently different types of jobs granted the ability to use certain magics. As one’s proficiency in the job increased, the names of the spells came naturally just like that. Furthermore, even if you knew the name of the spell, the spell still wouldn’t get activated if your proficiency was still insufficient. 

In my case, I had asked the people at Adventurers’ Guild about the spells mostly used by healers and magicians. I was somehow able to use Heal and Barrier magic even though I hadn’t trained my proficiency yet. Maybe my proficiency started at a different point than people of this world. 

From this book, I came to know about a magic spell called ‘Recover’, a spell that Sir Jonard had used to cure diseases.
