The Power of the Saint is All Around (LN) - Volume 6 - Chapter 5

Act 5:

Panacea

I WAS DETERMINED to develop a certain type of potion. When I told Johan, his expression was beyond description. I had told him about it since I needed his permission to start brewing something other than what he had already authorized me to make.

Honestly, it was no surprise that he gave me that look.

On one hand, I yet again felt a bit guilty. It hadn’t been that long since my last somewhat outrageous request. However, it was a researcher’s nature to challenge themselves and aim for ever greater discoveries. On the other hand, I had a feeling that my ambition wasn’t the only reason Johan was making that face. It was likely due to what I was thinking of making.

“If you actually managed to make such a thing, I wouldn’t have the authority to grant you permission to give the recipe to Prince Ten’yuu.”

“Oh…”

“We’d need at least the prime minister’s permission too.”

“Really?”

“Duh!”

That was more or less how that conversation went.

Basically, we’d need at least the prime minister’s permission to share this thing. And by “at least,” that meant that we would potentially need the king’s blessing as well.

If it came to that, I’d have to reveal the prince’s reason for wanting the potion. I was a bit reluctant, given Prince Ten’yuu hesitance to explain the situation to others, but I got over it. It was just something that would have to happen.

There really was nothing I could do about it either. After all, I wanted to try to make an as yet unheard of potion: a panacea. The idea had come to me when I remembered a conversation Prince Ten’yuu and I had a while ago. How nice it would be, we had thought, if a potion that could cure any ailment actually did exist.

The panacea was in all likelihood going to be far more difficult to create than a regular status cure potion. However, considering how few hints I had to go on in the first place, I got the feeling that it might not be that much more difficult than finding a specific cure. If helping the prince was going to be equally difficult to do either way, then I was better off making a panacea. That way I wouldn’t have to worry about identifying exact symptoms and the exact potion to match.

That was a fairly irrational argument, and I admit that it was mostly a gamble. However, making status cure potions was its own kind of gamble, given that we wouldn’t know if the potion I made actually worked for the prince’s mother until she tried it.

After my conversation with Johan, I started gathering information on status cure potions for the panacea. I decided to continue pursuing that research because I had to report my progress to Prince Ten’yuu; I would have felt uneasy suddenly telling him that I was going to focus on making a panacea instead. I’d tell him about it when—if—I found any scraps of information that might help me figure out how to make it.

***

“Sei, you got a letter.”

“Thanks.”

A month had passed since I began researching the panacea. I had yet to find any notable information about the illness Prince Ten’yuu had described or a hypothetical panacea. I refused to give up though, and I was staring at an encyclopedia of herbs when Jude handed the letter to me.

I turned the envelope over to discover it was from Corinna. I held back my eagerness as I broke the seal and read over the contents of the letter.

The letter started with the usual sort of opening phrase related to the current season and then launched into describing how things had been going recently in Klausner’s Domain. Finally, she answered the question I had asked her.

“Who’s it from?”

“The master alchemist I met in Klausner’s Domain.”

I must have been wearing a dour look on my face, because Jude asked me worriedly, “Ah. You get bad news or something?”

“Not like that…” Well, my hopes had been crushed, but other than that…

I had written to Corinna the second I began researching the panacea, asking if she knew any herbs that might help Prince Ten’yuu’s mother—or if she knew anything about a cure-all. I had so instantly decided to rely on her for help because my prior investigation into status cure potions hadn’t gone nearly as well as I had hoped.

The outcome was that I had lost. However, it wasn’t a crushing defeat.

Corinna wrote that while she didn’t know for sure, she did have some information for me about some herbs that might work.

“Wow. Alchemists from the holy land really do know their stuff.” Jude nodded in admiration after hearing my explanation.

“Yeah, she really is an expert among experts. She’s amazing.”

I picked up the herb encyclopedia again and flipped through the pages. However, I didn’t find a single mention of one of the herbs Corinna had named in the letter. Thinking that odd, I flipped through the book again. Still nothing.

“I can’t find it.”

“Huh? Is it not an herb then?” Jude went to fetch a different kind of encyclopedia, one that also listed flowers. That book had what we were looking for. He opened it to the right page and handed the tome to me. “It’s this one.”

We both peered at the page.

“It doesn’t seem to be an herb though,” I said.

“Maybe only the alchemists of Klausner’s Domain realized it was actually an herb?”

“You could be right. I wish we could use Appraisal Magic to identify the effects of herbs too.”

“Ah, you know, I’ve heard that the kind of information you can detect from that spell actually depends on the level of the caster.”

“Oh…do you think Lord Drewes could Appraise it?”

“He probably could, but I doubt he’s the kind of person who’d want to help out with Appraising herbs.”

“True…”

The almighty Appraisal Magic had a surprising weakness: the amount of information yielded was entirely dependent on skill level. You needed a high level in order to Appraise people, while Appraising objects could be done at a lower level. Similarly, the accuracy of the information differed depending on the caster’s level. On top of that, not many people could use this type of magic to begin with.

If only someone among we passionate herb-researchers could use Appraisal Magic, I thought. It had been many decades since the institute last employed a person with such a skill. The effects recorded in the herb encyclopedia had all been identified with old-fashioned research. And I was convinced that there were tons of herbs out there just waiting to be discovered.

“Shall we try making a potion with this one and see what it does?” I asked.

“The alchemist who wrote that letter to you hasn’t tried using it before?”

“I don’t know. She didn’t say, if so.”

“Hmm. Well, we could, but that herb doesn’t grow around here. I doubt anyone’s been growing it either, since we’ve categorized it as an ordinary plant.”

“You’re right… And it’s a plant that grows in warmer regions too.”

I didn’t know if Corinna had made a potion with this herb before or not, but since she had written in her letter that it might work, I had the feeling she hadn’t actually worked with it before.

The best thing to do to figure out its effects will be to make potions with it myself and ask a mage to Appraise them. Normally I’d just ask a regular mage, but this time I think I’ll ask the grand magus himself. Nobody can match his skill with Appraisal Magic, after all, I thought. 

I proposed the idea to Jude, but he tragically rejected it. Without the ingredients, we had no way to make those potions in the first place.

“Can we order the herb?” I asked.

“Yeah, let’s do that—if it’s available. Is there anything else we should order too?”

I put my ideas for experimenting aside for the moment and started looking up the other herbs that Corinna had mentioned. It would be better to order what we needed all at once.

Jude helped me out with some of the research, and we found that we did indeed need to order some of the other herbs as well. He said he’d place the order for me, so I wrote down all of their names and gave him the list.

Just like that first one I looked up, the rest of the herbs Corinna mentioned in her letter couldn’t be found in the herb encyclopedia either. Was it possible that these herbs would lead to new discoveries? If these weren’t trade secrets, then I wanted to add the information Corinna had given me to the herb encyclopedia. That would make it much easier to look them up again later. I knew that if I just wrote about them on separate sheets that I’d just end up forgetting about them entirely.

Be that as it may, I wasn’t going to be able to start investigating these herbs right away. For the time being, I needed to prioritize status cure potions and the panacea.

Also, if I discovered any effects that weren’t listed in the encyclopedia, I needed to ask for Corinna’s permission to add them. I couldn’t do something like steal the results of someone else’s research.

For now, I’ll keep researching until the ingredients arrive, I thought, and after Jude walked away, I returned to my studies.

***

I was meeting with Prince Ten’yuu when his attendant said, “Your Highness, it is about time for us to go.”

They had another engagement that day, and it seemed we were out of time.

“All right. Let’s stop for today then. Thank you, Sei.”

“Thank you for your time today, Your Highness.”

We said our goodbyes, and that was that for the day’s meeting.

Prince Ten’yuu said I didn’t need to see him out, so I didn’t move from my spot. As I watched him go, I noticed Albert come into the institute just as the prince left. It felt like it had been a while since I had last seen him.

Does he always have that kind of look on his face? It seems much more rigid than usual.

“Hey, Sei.”

“Hello, Lord Hawke.”

“I couldn’t help but notice that Prince Ten’yuu was here. Does he stop by often?”

“Yes. He has an interest in herbs, so he comes here to discuss them.”

“I see.”

“Oh, do you have some time to spare?” I asked. “We could have tea.”

Albert’s expression softened at the suggestion. “I’m all right for time, but what about your work?”

“Don’t worry about that! I just got to a good stopping place and was thinking about taking a break.”

“Wonderful. Let’s have that tea, then.”

I was relieved as I headed to the kitchen to ready the tea.

When I returned, I placed a cup in front of him and sat down in the seat next to his. We both took a sip, and just as we placed our cups back on their saucers, Albert said, “It’s been a while since we last had tea like this.”

“Yeah, it has. It feels like I haven’t seen you in a while either.”

“I had to leave the capital for a bit.”

“Did you have to go somewhere?”

“I went to visit my father in his domain.”

Ah, then I really hadn’t been imagining that it had been a while since we last saw each other.

I had been working hard doing research for the potion to cure Prince Ten’yuu’s mother and/or the panacea, and of late, I had frequently asked other people to deliver potions to the Knights of the Third Order. The few times I had gone to deliver them myself, Albert hadn’t been there.

I see now. He was away at the time.

The Hawke domain was pretty far from the capital—right on the border of Salutania—so he had clearly been away for a relatively long time.

“Oh yeah, here.” Albert picked up a porcelain jar that he had placed next to his seat and put it in front of me.

I opened the lid curiously to find liquid gold inside. “Is this honey?” I asked.

“That’s right. I brought it back as a souvenir.”

“I can have this?”

“Of course. I brought it back just for you.”

“Thank you!”

Sweet things like sugar and honey were precious in this world. I made sweets at the institute, so I saw sugar relatively often. However, honey had been hard to come by.

I was feeling quite elated now that I had seen honey again for the first time in a while, especially after getting to see Albert too.

Since he brought it, why not add some to my tea? Although it was a bit in the way of bad manners, I got up from my seat to go get a spoon for the honey. Of course, I didn’t forget to excuse myself for a moment.

I tasted a bit of the honey before adding it to my tea and got a hint of some other familiar scent alongside its characteristic sweetness. “Huh? This smell…is it apple?”

“That’s right. I’m surprised you could tell.”

According to Albert, the honey was collected from apple blossoms. He said it had been harvested the year prior, and when I thought about it, I got the feeling that apple honey had been rather rare even in Japan. It went without saying then that it was profoundly rare in this land.

“Isn’t this extremely valuable then? Are you sure I can have it?” I asked, suddenly worried, even though the jar wasn’t all that big.

“We aren’t able to harvest that much, but it’s not that valuable. Don’t worry. Besides, you like sweets, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I do, but—”

“Then I want you to have it. No buts. It makes me happier to see you happy.”

After hearing that, I had no choice but to accept.

While I did like sweets, this sugary mood made me feel antsy and restless. I tried to stop myself from smiling out of pure bashful joy, but it was probably effort wasted on my part.

“Th-thank you.” I averted my eyes and thanked him again in a softer voice, which made him burst out laughing.

I added a spoonful of honey to my tea and drank it. It had a heavenly slight sweetness. I was so preoccupied by the scent of apple that I nearly forgot to tell him what I thought about the flavor. “It’s delicious.”

His smile deepened. “I’m glad to hear it.”

“Sorry, I should’ve said it sooner. I was just so surprised by the added fragrance of apples.”

“I don’t mind. I’m just glad that you like it.”

“Thank you for overlooking that. It’s been a while since I had honey with my tea, and it really goes so well with it.”

“Really? I’ve never tried it before, so I have no idea. I’ll have to give it a go next time.”

“Considering you don’t like sweets, you don’t have to, if you don’t want to. But if you do want to give it a try, you should probably do it when your throat hurts or something. I’ve also heard that honey in hot milk is good for when you’re having trouble sleeping.”

“It can help a sore throat and a restless sleeper? It sure has a lot of uses.”

“Yeah, they say that honey is good for all kinds of ailments.”

Then I stopped. I looked down at the jar of honey. What did I just say? Honey’s good for all kinds of ailments?

“Is something the matter?” Albert asked.

“Oh, no. Sorry, I was just hit with an idea.”

“About what?”

“I was wondering if I could use honey to make some kind of potion.”

The ingredients for making potions were herbs, water, and magic power. The effects of the completed potions differed depending on the type of herbs you used. Those were the basics of potion brewing, and it was believed that a given herb’s effects on the body were linked to the effects of the potions it was added to.

In that case, what if we used something that affected health that wasn’t an herb? Would we still make a potion? And if that thing was said to be good for all kinds of conditions, then…

“You sure love your research.” Albert stifled a laugh, snapping me out of my reverie.

It seemed I had accidentally sunk into thought while staring at the jar. I looked up to find him covering his mouth and turned away. I felt terrible—it probably seemed like I had been ignoring him. “I’m sorry.”

“You don’t need to apologize. I’m just glad I could be of some help to you.” Albert smiled at me, blindingly handsome as always.

Nngh, I feel so embarrassed… A slight warmth tickled my cheeks.

“I wonder what kind of effect a potion made of honey would have,” Albert said.

“I was just thinking, if where I come from, it was said to be good for all kinds of health problems, maybe it’ll be good for illnesses in general?”

“Is that what you’re thinking? It’d be quite a feat if you managed to make something like that.”

“Yeah. I wonder if what the honey was made from might impact how the potion turns out too.”

“You mean like the type of honey?”

“The one you gave me today was harvested from apple blossoms, right? For all we know, honey from lotus flowers or other kinds of flora might make potions with other kinds of effects. I mean, that’s how it works when you make potions with herbs, after all.”

“You might very well be right, then. What kind of effects do you think apples have?”

“Let me think…”

Just what kind of effect would apples have anyway? There was the saying that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but were they actually beneficial when someone was sick?

I started thinking about it again, but then I caught myself. “But wait, now we’re just talking about nothing but my work.”

Although Albert was the one who had asked the question, it was just rude to keep talking about something he found boring.

“That’s all right. So long as we’re both enjoying ourselves.”

“You’re enjoying yourself?”

“Yes.”

Albert’s such a nice guy, I thought as I gazed at this man who had never once shown the least bit of displeasure when I went on and on about my research.

***

I furrowed my brows after reading the document I had received from the Royal Magi Assembly. I couldn’t help it. I mean, I had been utterly defeated.

So far, things had been going well, and I had indeed managed to make a new kind of potion. 

I had done exactly what I told Albert I would do—make potions out of honey. While following the usual steps for making potions, I was using honey instead of herbs. I had even acquired honey harvested from different kinds of flowers. My experiments yielded genuine potions, though rather than pink, they came out with an incredibly pale, transparent yellow color.

Having achieved that much, I promptly sent a request to Yuri to Appraise these potions for me. I had just received his results. However, they weren’t good.

“Did you just get the results from the Appraisal?” Jude noticed me frowning at the paper in my hand and came over to talk to me.

“Yeah, I did.”

“From your expression, I gather it’s not what you were hoping for.”

“Unfortunately.”

Jude usually offered to help me with stuff, and he had helped out with the honey potions too.

He deserves to know what the results actually were, I thought as I passed the paper to him.

Jude looked it over and let out a defeated groan. “Well, at least they do have some kind of effect.”

“Yeah, and it seems like there is a difference in effect based on what kind of honey is used. But as you can see…”

In a way, I was happy, seeing as the honey had worked like I thought it would. However, the problem was that the effects were incredibly weak. According to Yuri, these honey potions were weaker than regular potions.

Maybe they could be compared to one of those nutritional drinks they sold at convenience stores in Japan? But I had a feeling those were actually good for you, so maybe these honey potions were even less useful than those.

“I can’t believe it didn’t work,” I lamented.

Just then, I heard someone say from the door, “What’s going on?”

Jude and I looked in the direction of the voice to find Johan with his hand held up in greeting.

“We just got the results of the Appraisal I requested. Unfortunately, the potions aren’t as potent as I hoped.”

“Oh yeah? Let me take a look.” Johan took the paper from Jude, looked it over, and sighed. “So, you had the right instinct but not the right results.”

“Yeah. I was so sure I was on the right track too.”

“Hmm…oh!” Johan seemed to have an idea. He held up his index finger and then pointed it at me. I gave him an inquisitive look. He laughed merrily. “Why don’t you try combining it with other ingredients?”

“Huh? Wait, do you mean…?”

He was right. I hadn’t tried making potions with honey and other ingredients in the mix. Back in the world I came from, we had used several medicines at once when we were sick. So maybe there was some merit to the idea of giving this a try.

But what should I mix the honey with? I could use herbs as usual, but maybe I should try something else as well?

“Did we get any apples recently?” I asked. 

Apples were the first thing that popped into my mind. Part of that was because of the honey Albert had given me, but the bigger reason was because apples were also said to be good for one’s health. Perhaps apples would go well with honey in a potion? They came from the same plant, so they seemed like they’d be able to synergize.

However, I had to ask that question because of the state of food technology in this world. Back home, they had developed the means by which to store food all year round, and we had access to apples pretty much whenever. However, in this world, foods were only available during their harvest season. In other words, would we be able to acquire apples at this time of year?

“Apples still aren’t in season,” Johan responded.

“They won’t be available until fall then?”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t there a way we can get any? The colder regions don’t harvest them sooner or anything?”

“Even if they did, they’d probably rot by the time they reached us.”

“Can’t you freeze them?”

“I have a feeling that would affect how the potions came out.” Johan shook his head.

Too bad. It really was a shame.

So do I have no choice but to wait until fall? What if we sped up their growth with magic? Or would that affect how the potions came out too? Wait…speed up?

“Johan?”

“Yeah? Do you have another idea?”

“Can you get an apple tree sapling?”

“A sapling? It might be possible, but when are you supposed to plant those?”

“At the beginning of spring, I believe. But I think we can just ignore that.”

Just like there was a time of year for harvesting, there was a time of year when you were supposed to plant saplings. Normally, we needed to be concerned about that, but with what I was about to do, we could plant it whenever and it would be fine. 

And if this didn’t work, then I’d just have to come up with another idea.

In short, I was planning to accelerate the tree’s growth in order to harvest the apples as soon as possible.

Johan was potentially right in that doing anything to the apples might affect the outcome of the potion. However, this time the nature of the influence might actually be a good thing. I was planning to use my Saintly powers to accelerate the sapling’s growth.

This idea came to me because I had actually done such a thing once before. Back in Klausner’s Domain, I had revived a forest that had been destroyed by slimes. That was definitely what you’d call accelerating growth. It had to be possible to do the same to apples.

I explained my plan to Johan, and he pressed his palm to his forehead as if trying to fight back a headache. He seemed to be having flashbacks to my last adventure in miraculous tree cultivation.

“Well, now that you say it, it just might be possible.”

“Yeah.”

“Very well. I’ll see if I can find an apple tree sapling.”

“Thank you!” I smiled in response to his, ah, encouraging words.

Johan immediately set off to track down my tree.

***

A week later, the veil of darkness had fallen, and I was just thinking it was about time to head to my chambers for the night when Johan came to the institute. He beckoned me over, so I went to him and he led me outside. I kept up with his slightly quickened pace.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“We got the apple tree sapling. However, it’s a little distance away.”

Did he mean that we were headed to the palace orchards?

The palace grounds included not only the institute’s herb garden, but vegetable fields and orchards as well. When I thought about how big the tree would get, that was probably for the best.

However, Johan surprised me by taking me to a lovely greenhouse. From the outside, it looked quite big. Cloth blocked the view through the glass walls, so I couldn’t tell what was inside. It might have been better to call the place a darkroom than a greenhouse.

I followed Johan inside and found that it wasn’t all that different from a regular greenhouse. However, the temperature should have been far warmer inside than out, and it definitely wasn’t. Why was that?

I tilted my head quizzically at my surroundings, at which Johan said, “You’re about to use the Saint’s magic, right?”

“Yes, that’s what I was planning.”

“Then we can’t have just anyone see what you’re about to do. His Majesty requested we make these arrangements.”

“That makes sense.”

“Also, it’s hard to miss when you use your magic. It’d probably be better to do this in the daytime, but nobody’s around at this hour, which is why we chose now.”

“Thank you.”

It did make sense. The fact that my magic could be used for anything other than killing monsters was a state secret. I assumed it would be fine, so long as no one was around, and making sure everyone was cleared out of a place was a piece of cake for the king. He had even carefully arranged for the tree itself to be hidden. The greenhouse was certainly large enough to accommodate this endeavor.

We headed to the back, where Johan pointed at a sapling. “This is the one.”

There was plenty of space around it, and the greenhouse had a high ceiling. I figured I should be able to make it grow without any constraints.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to steady myself. Then I touched my chest with my hands and thought of Albert.

I had grown quite used to summoning the Saint’s magic as of late. A smile spread across my lips as I remembered his obvious pleasure when I told him that the honey he had brought me was delicious.

The magic flowed gently forth from within my chest. I quietly opened my eyes and gazed at the golden mist hanging in the air. Then I turned my attention to the sapling, and I wished for it to grow—grow and grow, to the point where its fruit could be harvested. 

I accidentally thought about the panacea as well.

What am I going to do if the apples wind up having some weird effects? Well, if that happens—then whatever. I can just do some experimenting come fall with regular apples and compare at that point… 

I unleashed the spell.

The air and ground around the sapling glowed brightly. Then the tiny tree began to grow rapidly. It reached a standard apple tree height, at which point blossoms unfurled from its branches. Then fruit grew.

Johan stood beside me, gazing at the scene with pure astonishment on his face. He was in such a state of shock that his mouth was slightly agape. Quite unusual for him.

I giggled as I watched his shock from the corner of my eye.

Once the fruit turned red, the spell was finished.

“This is what you did back in Klausner’s Domain?” Johan asked after the glow had completely faded.

“That’s right. But I did it on a much wider scale.”

“How do you feel? You passed out afterward then, didn’t you?”

“I feel fine. It was just the one tree this time, so I don’t think I used that much magic.”

Johan smiled in relief.

I approached the tree and picked an apple to inspect it.

Everything had been covered in golden sparkles right after I cast the spell, but they had faded, and now at a glance, the apple looked like any other. It had been just the same when I had used my Saint’s magic on those herbs all that time ago.

Johan inspected the apple as well. His cheek twitched as he gazed at it. He must have recognized something different in it. It was proof that what I did had worked.

Now all that was left was to use these apples to make potions as best I could.

Full of enthusiasm, I tried to get to experimenting the second we got back to the institute. However, Johan held me back—after all, I needed to get some sleep if I wanted to really put my nose to the grindstone tomorrow.

***

A month had passed since we harvested the apples. Even though his term studying abroad in the kingdom wasn’t yet over, Prince Ten’yuu elected to return to Zaidera. As we heard it, he had received word that his mother’s condition had worsened.

However, that was just the official story. The truth was that he had acquired the cure for his mother’s illness and wanted to bring it to her as soon as possible.

The potions using the apples I grew in the greenhouse alongside the honey Albert had given me came out a deep amber color. I asked Yuri to Appraise them for me, and this time he didn’t send the results. Instead, he requested I come see him in person to hear. He was afraid that the information he was about to give me might fall into the wrong hands, which made instantly clear that the results had been positive.

Johan and I arrived at Yuri’s office to find that Lord Smarty-Glasses was going to be joining our meeting.

“It’s a panacea,” Yuri announced. I instinctively did a fist pump in elated victory.

Johan’s reaction wasn’t as intense as mine, but he smiled happily.

Yuri, for his part, was smiling much more nonchalantly than usual. On the other hand, the furrow in Lord Smarty-Glasses’s brow looked deeper than normal.

That was all they had to say, so after basking in my victory for a moment, I headed straight back to the institute.

Johan had gone with me on the way there, but I went back on my own. Johan had to head to the prime minister to report the news. As soon as he got back to the institute, he summoned me to his office.

There, Johan told me that the king had ordered me not to produce any more panacea for the time being. It being what it was, they had decided to conceal its existence. They weren’t convinced they would keep it secret, mind you; this was just for the time being.

I thought of Prince Ten’yuu when I heard this. I asked Johan, and he said that the king would be the one to decide whether to give the panacea to the prince. There was nothing more I could do about the situation. I had been warned as much when I asked for permission to start developing the panacea in the first place, so I did as directed without question.

Then, a little after that, I learned that Prince Ten’yuu had gone home.

It seemed to be a very sudden departure. He didn’t even stop by the institute before he left; I learned of his leaving via a letter he had written to say goodbye.

In his letter, he thanked us for letting him visit the institute, and it was written in flowery language. I knew about the missive because Johan once again summoned me to his office to show it to me.

At that time, Johan also informed me of the real reason for Prince Ten’yuu’s departure and what had happened with the panacea. Apparently, the king had hidden the identity of the alchemist who brewed it when he handed it to the prince. That was all Johan knew, though.

Nevertheless, Johan was pleased that the panacea had been given to Prince Ten’yuu.

Will it be enough to let Prince Ten’yuu’s mom recover completely? Yuri’s Appraisal said it would cure all status abnormalities, so surely it’ll work, right? It’d be nice if he would let me know someday…
