Chapter 2: The Rural Couple, the Black Knight, and the Girl

Kingdom of Mert Calendar Year 786

Aston’s Riberry Village was small to begin with—there was hardly any room to spare. In addition, the villagers were mostly focused on the nearly ten sick people, most of whom were children. Also taking into account the restriction preventing anyone from leaving, the townspeople were not in any position to care for additional patients. Thus, Joshua and I took the washed-up survivors to the capital of Aston territory.

There was no other choice. There was no surgical treatment available in the village, no place for the two to lie down and rest, and no extra food. There wasn’t even anyone able to care for them.

The two were admitted to the annex of a treatment facility, where patients who needed to be isolated were hospitalized. In the unlikely case that the two were to have the same illness that the Riberry villagers had, the annex would be able to contain the sickness.

The treatment facility’s annex was a small building that contained an examination area, a ward large enough to accommodate four patients, a washroom, a restroom, and a laundry room in the corner of the establishment. As there was no kitchen, meals were brought in from the main building. Sir Warren and the girl had been put opposite each other on two of the four beds in the ward.

I opened the window, letting in cold winter air that gently stirred the dividing curtains that hung from the ceiling. Letting the room temperature fall too much wouldn’t be good, but if we didn’t ventilate the annex, the air would stagnate, so I opened the window once in the morning and once in the evening.

Joshua was busy. To gather data, he had been going back and forth from the capital to Riberry to survey both the village and its surroundings, as well as to check on the villagers’ conditions. On top of that, he had been using his spare moments to cast healing magic on Sir Warren and the girl.

Joshua had usually had a full plate when he was an aide to the prime minister in the royal capital. I had thought that we would be able to relax upon moving to the eastern region, but instead it felt like we had returned to those hectic days. However, it couldn’t have been my imagination that he seemed more lively now.

A strong, whooshing wind blew, and I hurried to shut the window. The room had ventilated for long enough. As the dividing curtains which had been dancing in the wind settled down, I locked the window and cast my gaze toward one of the beds—only to meet a pair of blue eyes.

“Wh-Where...am I?”

“Sir Warren, I’m so glad you’ve woken up!” I cried out.

Between Sir Warren and the girl, he had certainly suffered a greater number of deeper, bloodier wounds; for him to have awoken first was probably a testament to his vitality as a knight. Though he was still pale, the fact that he had regained consciousness was a relief, at least for the moment.
