It happened that at this time, the girl's flat belly made a "Gurg~" sound, which made her fair face blush. She subconsciously shrank down, making her already petite body even smaller.

"I have bread, do you want it?" An Luo casually took out the croissant bread from the different space, which is usually used to tempt Irena. The girl who woke up hungry reached out her hand with sparkling eyes. : "C-can it?"

"Ah~ Of course, it's only one gold coin." The moment the words came out of her mouth, the girl's hands and the joy on her face froze, and she said angrily: "You are robbing!"

"It would take more than a day to walk from here to the next country, and it would be even worse if you get lost. It is normal to starve to death in the wilderness, so a gold coin can be exchanged not for bread but for life... think of it this way Do you feel you can accept it?"

"Of course not! You're still robbing! For a moment I thought you were a good person! It's too much... you're fired!" Amnesia stood up angrily, holding her diary and heading toward her. Go in the direction of the target.

But An Luo immediately chased after her, put his hand on her shoulder to stop her from leaving, and before the girl could scold her, he spoke first: "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, I apologize, I just wanted to give it a try first. It’s just as much fun as you can take.”

"...What do you mean by how far you can tease?"

"It doesn't mean anything special. Aren't you hungry compared to this?"

"...I feel like taking your things will have serious consequences..."

"No, what you said is too hurtful. We were all friends until yesterday, so I apologize for raising the price. The bread is also free, and milk is included as compensation!" An Luo He took out the bread in one hand and took out a bottle of milk in the other hand. He said with a smile: "How is it? Are you sincere enough?"

"Um..." Amnesia's expression suddenly became complicated when she heard the word friend. She hesitated for a long time and didn't know whether it was because she didn't want to be hungry all day, or because she hoped to really have a friend. She answered the question carefully. After passing the bread, he whispered his thanks with a lingering reluctance: "Thank you..."

"Yeah~ You are such an honest child, Amnesia."

But this kind of child has even more desire to tease... An Luo couldn't help but add in his heart. In fact, he also felt that he should restrain himself a little. If he went too far, he would make people cry or be really disliked. It's not good either, although she will definitely forget about it the next day.

...

...

Looking at the girl who sat back down and ate the bread in small bites, her mood seemed to be gradually calming down, An Luo inexplicably felt that this way of eating was quite cute.

Emnesia, who was still concentrating on eating, seemed to regard his gaze as urging, subconsciously speeding up and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry... I will eat faster."

"It's okay. I'm not rushing you. Just take your time and I won't be in a hurry."

"Um...thank you."

As she said that, she continued to enjoy the bread An Luo bought by the way in the morning, but she still speeded up a bit. An Luo looked at the weeds beside her thoughtfully, counting the leaves and studying the Dharma in his mind.

After she finished eating, the two of them started their journey normally, sitting on the broom together of course... And before that, An Luo naturally asked Caroline for her opinion, and she obviously didn't like it. A stranger approaches him, but if it is a cute girl, there is no problem. Such a standard for limiting cute girls makes An Luo feel a little confused about how to complain.

The two of them didn't say anything during the journey. Emnesia seemed cautious and wary because she was teased a little too much, so An Luo couldn't help but think about how to break her wariness, so he didn't say anything immediately.

After flying the broom for about an hour, they arrived at a city. The streets where people were walking around looked very old.

The neatly arranged brick buildings facing the street are all dim and covered with vines like the city walls. The stone bricks paved on the ground are also covered with moss, giving the impression that the town itself has been idle for a long time.

However, there were actually a lot of people on the street, but they were very lifeless. On the contrary, the girl next to An Luo was very angry.

"——Don't you mean walking for at least a day! Even if you fly across forests and rivers, you can still get there after dark!"

"You have to wait until dark to walk, but it took me half an hour to arrive before dark. Isn't it amazing?"

"Huh? No, I'm not complimenting..."

"Okay~ don't worry so much. Let's go quickly. It's better to find a hotel with few people to stay in now, right?"

While casually dismissing the other party, An Luo gave Emnesia a slight push and signaled her to look at the pedestrians on the road.

There are a lot of people walking on this street, but the reason why there is no life in this city is that in this city, there are people frowning and coughing, some people are stumbling and seem to fall down at any time, and there are also people with scratches on their faces, necks, and behind the ears. The one with red rash sat on the roadside, looking up at the sky in a daze, waiting for death.

Although there are many people who look healthy, there are more people who look sick, and the healthy people also look sad.

When they entered the country, they were informed by the guards that a serious infectious disease seemed to be prevalent in the country. However, if they did not enter, they would have to camp in the countryside surrounded by forests and where many corpses of the deceased were scattered. So they still chose to come in.

When the girl who tilted her head slightly and looked around the street noticed this, she also felt a little uneasy as she actually experienced the environment in the city.

He looked sideways at An Luo hesitantly, and when he was about to suggest leaving the city, he was startled when An Luo put on a black military gas mask.

"——?! What are you doing! Are you teasing me again!"

"This is for safety. You may not know that normal pathogens are either transmitted through contact or through air, water, food, soil and other media, so wearing this kind of gas mask is very important... Although it is normal All I need is a mask, but I don’t have one.”

An Luo, who had used telekinesis to build an invisible defense wall around him since entering the city, so that his air could only circulate with the air twenty meters high in the sky, helplessly spread his hands and explained to her about disease prevention.

He asked some questions when he came in, so he understood that there were no cases of biting creatures in this city, so it was important not to touch things randomly and to take precautions against the air.

Although he is very confident that he can resist the disease, he has never been sick and it is hard to say what the outcome will be. Therefore, he will not take risks if he can. In the past, when he learned the magic of space storage, he stored gas masks as a necessity. Of course, the more sophisticated one can form an invisible defense around him that prevents bacteria and viruses from invading, but he doesn't want to waste that kind of energy if he can do it without any effort.

...

In order to prevent his companions from getting sick and accidentally infecting himself, An Luo took out a spare one and handed it to Amnesia.

"Here, here's the spare."

"...Isn't this a prop for you to use to tease me?"

After what happened before, Emnesia was very wary and did not take it.

"No, I am considered a doctor in my hometown. Although I don't have much actual clinical experience, I have more paper knowledge than a normal doctor. I understand most of the diseases, so I personally make special preparations that can prevent The virus is spread by droplets, droplet nuclei and dust in the air. If you are infected with the disease in this city later, don't come to me."

"Um...Okay, it's up to you."

Although she didn't understand what An Luo said before, her sense of clarity was inexplicably powerful, so Emnesia hesitated for a moment and put on the gas mask with his help.

The two people's strange costumes wearing gas masks were quite eye-catching on the street. Perhaps it was because of this that before they found the hotel, a guard came running over dragging a man who looked like an official. , blocked their way and pointed at him and said urgently:

"It's them! I just heard that the man is a doctor, and he also knows a lot about infectious diseases! The masks they are wearing seem to be made by the doctor himself to prevent diseases!"

"....Haha, I became a doctor all of a sudden."

Listening to the guard's words, An Luo suddenly felt that his head began to hurt.

The official quickly walked over with joy on his face and said urgently: "Are you really a doctor?"

"No." An Luo answered instantly without thinking; from the previous words, the girl who felt that he knew a lot about infectious diseases turned to him with a pleading look: "An Luo...if you can do it, Just help them?"

The girl's words made the official immediately believe that he must be a doctor, so he quickly stepped forward: "...Our own doctors are helpless against this disease, please! Help us!"

"It always feels like it will be very troublesome..."

He knew better than anyone that curing a disease was much harder than killing someone, so he couldn't help scratching his head. Emnesia was also looking up at him with her little head raised, and the mirror was full of expectations and pleadings, which made him endure. He couldn't help but said depressedly: "This place obviously has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Actually, they are very pitiful, and maybe I have been to this place...maybe I know people here." As she spoke, Amnesia's eyes became a little lonely, which made An Luo very helpless and had to sigh. He sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm in trouble, I'll just take a look."

"real?"

"Let me state first that I cannot guarantee that I can solve the problem. After all, I don't have any props or medicines to cure it."

"Thank you~! Now I finally know why I became friends with you yesterday!" It was obviously not her own business, but Amnesia smiled again, grabbed his hand and shook it happily, her face full of joy. It's relief and joy: "You're just not frank, are you? A talkative person with a soft heart?"

"no!"

"Let me tell you~ When you said you were my friend, I was very happy at first~!"

"Huh? Why? By the way, listen to me and don't just draw conclusions and advance the topic?"

"I can't seem to live without a diary, so I also hope to have a companion. And it would be great to have friends, right?"

"Well, well...is it great? Not really."

.....In the end, this child still didn't listen to what I said?

An Luo, who was depressed but was told that he had great friends, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable because of the innocent girl in front of him.

But no matter what, he followed the officials to a nearby hospital. He also put on gloves on the way and used telekinesis to form a shield around him so that he and the girl would not be infected.

...

...

An Luo, who had never thought of becoming a doctor, became a doctor again today.

The reason why he refused to become a doctor before was very simple. Although it was okay for him to help him, but due to the times, even if he knew how to treat, under normal circumstances he did not have any equipment to help him make medicine. , after all, even if he does know how to make it, he doesn’t have the raw materials.

In this case, what can be done to treat the disease is very limited, so naturally he will not volunteer or anything.

But since he had no choice but to agree, he still asked Emnesia to rub his shoulders behind him while he examined the patient and soon discovered the reason.

"What about scarlet fever... Surprisingly, it's a disease I can also solve."

"Scarlet fever?"

The official standing guard next to him looked very confused because it was the first time he heard this term.

"This disease was once prevalent in my hometown. Those who got the disease should be isolated immediately, and the contacts should be observed for 7 to 12 days. You don't have any isolation at all, and the streets are full of sick people. Isn't this the end of the world?"

"What should we do? Is there any cure?" the official asked urgently.

"The first choice is penicillin."

"I-we don't have it here. I've never heard of this medicine at all..."

"It's not a big problem. I can do it. Anyway, let's get all the citrus and other rotten fruits in the city over here. I'll make some on site."

Since Anlu was speaking eloquently from the beginning, the official also sought medical treatment for some sudden illness. Although he didn't know who he was, he still obeyed his words and immediately sent people to get the rotten fruit, and the rest he needed. s things.

It is very troublesome for normal people to extract penicillin from mold, but Anluo relied on the knowledge of medicines from the previous world, the power of atomically fine telekinesis, and the help of magic to directly refine penicillin, and the time it took to cultivate penicillin was wasted. It has been greatly reduced, and the total time consumption is even much lower than in modern society.

Around nightfall, he obtained a large amount of penicillin. He relied on a makeshift needle to subcutaneously inject the experimental subjects, and used magic that could greatly shorten the recovery time, but it also had certain side effects. to prove the effectiveness of the drug.

At dawn the next day, the patient who normally takes about three days to recover after taking antibiotics had basically recovered and was overjoyed. When he woke up, he wanted to hug An Luo, but An Luo quickly avoided him. , and looked at the official beside him to see the effect of the drug. The official who was already crying with joy said seriously: "The effect of the drug can be verified. Now should we talk about the remuneration?"

"Reward? Ah, of course! You are the benefactor of this country! The king will not be stingy with rewards!"

The official said this sworn, but...

When he arrived at the palace, the king also received An Luo very enthusiastically, and said that he would make him a duke, gave him five beauties and a mansion, and even took him to the treasury to let him take it...

"...Um, this is the national treasury? Are you sure it's not a warehouse? Or are you kidding me?" An Luo searched the treasury and came back, but only found some scattered items. The total amount was With no more money than Amnesia, his expression suddenly became stiff.

"I am personally very grateful to you, the miracle doctor. I can promise you anything except money. There is really nothing you can do with money. The country has already emptied its treasury to treat diseases, so we have everything here except money. Well, how about you choose one of my seven unmarried daughters..."

"Ah, let's forget this. The princess is too noble and I really can't reach her."

An Luo rejected the king's proposal without thinking.

...

Just by treating the sick and saving people and putting forward constructive suggestions to control the epidemic, An Luo transformed from a traveler to the Duke of this country, and also obtained a very high-end mansion... But this country is just a city-state that can be seen everywhere in the world. That is the ancient city-state.

The value of a duke's title cannot be said to be non-existent in other countries, but it is also limited. It can only be used to a certain extent in surrounding countries. The mansion was given by the king to let him stay here. Even if it was sold, no one would be stupid enough to buy it. That is to say There is no way to take action at all.

Normally, he would never let others default on their wages, but this family does seem a little miserable and has little money. Although they must have hid all the money from the treasury, the beautiful lady with a noble title in a mansion did not treat him badly at all, and promised to work here in the future. Giving a super witch-level high salary made it impossible for him to attack.

"...Even if I get a lot of emotions, it's still complicated. To a certain extent, it doesn't mean that my work has been in vain...\

,"After arriving at the mansion given by the king, An Luo couldn't help but think about it.

Emnesia next to her showed a mischievous smile and poked his abdomen with her elbow: "You are surprisingly a good person, and very powerful. Not only is a magician a doctor by profession, but you are really nice to me." I’ve seen it in a new light.”

"Accidents are superfluous. My job is not important. What is important is that you are not sleepy? Why don't you go to bed quickly?" An Luo, who is used to staying up late, is also sleepy now. Emnesia is also used to staying up late. But after staying up until dawn, his face is still full of tiredness.

"Is it okay? Compared to this...are you going to stay here?"

The king's purpose in giving these conditions is obviously to keep him here. This attitude is so obvious that even Emnesia knows it. After all, for this era, a doctor like him is really a miracle doctor, worse than a witch. Some are rarer and even have higher value.

"What? Are you still reluctant to let me go?"

"......Yes."

The girl showed a lonely expression, nodded gently and admitted honestly.

"Uh, don't you hate me very much? And you've just met me, right? We haven't had much real contact time, right?"

"But we are friends, right? Isn't it normal to feel lonely after being separated from friends? And... people like me probably have only one friend, you. Although I still don't understand you, in fact, after you promised to When I was rescuing people, I just wanted to really get to know you, haha..."

The girl smiled sheepishly and fiddled with her hair.

"...I always feel like every time someone calls me a friend, I feel inexplicably panicked."

"Oh, why is this happening?"

"...It's okay, don't worry about it. You'd better go to bed quickly than this. We'll have to continue setting off tomorrow."

"We will continue setting off tomorrow..." The girl who was casually rubbed her hair by An Luo was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and nodded vigorously: "Yes! Let's set off together tomorrow!"

The girl, whose smile returned to her face, started writing today's diary in a book while eating breakfast.

An Luo didn't speak. He just took the fresh bread prepared on the table and ate with the girl. However, when he wanted to see what she wrote, he was avoided by the girl with all his strength and was repeatedly warned not to do so. Look at your diary again.

Although Emnesia seemed very happy when he said he would continue traveling and tried to be as cheerful as possible, there was still an uneasiness that could not be eliminated in his expression.

Just like that, when she reluctantly stopped writing and went back to the room to sleep with her diary in her arms... When it was almost dark and it was almost time to have dinner, An Luo woke her up and looked at the girl who had fallen asleep holding the book in her arms. But he was at a loss.

"Um...who are you?"

The girl who had her bed sheet taken away rubbed her eyes and looked at him in confusion. The trust and friendship that had just been established yesterday had returned to zero at this moment.
