Since Qis is now better, should I cure the castle's workers as well? I mean, it's far better to treat them at their current stage, rather than just letting the disease progresses. Afterward though, I have to find the source. I'm not sure if they already knew from where the source is, so I should ask Diana first. If they had identified the source of infection, then I can focus on treating the other, but if not, then I can just volunteer and find the source myself. It might be hard, but, seeing as how Ray and his siblings life were affected, I can't just kept quiet about it. Plus, he is just one of the many victims, not to mention the merchants that are taking advantage of the current situation and increase the price of medicine. That's all depend on Diana, I'm sure as a princess, she have a better grasp of the overall situation, and she would be able to utilize me better rather than me running solo. So, I should ask her first before doing anything

"Umm..." [Yefefiah]

"What is it, Yefefiah right?" [Ash]

"Yes, could you teach us the scan and cure magic you use right now" [Yefefiah]

Ohh, they're interested in learning, they're young healers after all, basically they're the same as medical student back on earth. Hmm... It's far better for them to learn and practice it right away rather than just explaining it to them, so I guess it should be fine.

"Sure, you can. Just bring anyone who's contracted with the disease, I'll guide you one by one" [Ash]

"Thank you great healer!" [Yefefiah]

"No, I have to correct you on that one. My mom is a healer (well, doctor is basically a healer), not me.

She just taught me about this disease, so in a sense, no sincerely speaking, my medical knowledge is lower than you are, so please don't call me that" [Ash]

"If you insist" [Yefefiah]

"We should gather them all here then!" [Young healer A]

"Sure, and it's better for us to split up and search for them" [Young healer B]

"Right! Let us start right away!" [Yefefiah]

They sure are excited, not that I could blame them. In fact, it's better that way, their reaction remind me of the day when those siblings of mine learned about alphabet.

"Good, good" [Ash]

Can't help but to say that out loud, even I myself am excited to teach them

"Umm..." [Old follower D]

"What is it?" [Ash]

"Can, can you, teach me as well?" [Old follower D]

"Rafiah, have you gone crazy!" [Old follower B]

That sure is shocking, looks, even her friend is currently staring at her in disbelief.

"Can you?" [Rafiah]

"Rafiah! No, no you can't! We are going back right now and that's final!" [Old follower B]

"..." [Rafiah]

Ohh... she is resisting. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, she's the one that worried about how the new saint and saintess will scold them for their actions back in the dungeon, plus, I don't remember her talking bad about my siblings. Only the others male followers did that, but not her (well, this friend of her also didn't talk bad things regarding my siblings, but she seems to be in agreement with others)

"Any reason?" [Ash]

"..." [Rafiah]

"Screw this, what have you done to her!" [Old follower B]

"I don't know, I might have secretly charm her" [Ash]

"NO!" [Rafiah]

"That actually hurts" [Ash]

She thought I was serious just now, and ouch, that respond. Well, you reap what you sow

"Reason... I'm not sure, just wanted to learn" [Rafiah]

"But, there's far better great healer than he is back to where we belong! So why choose him!" [Old follower B]

"Yeah, that's a logical counter argument right there" [Ash]

I'm curious, so I guess I should play along right now to get some honest answer

"Those guys, never teach us anything... plus, shouldn't we be helping other..." [Rafiah]

"But, it's this country fault for supporting the new saint and saintess! It should be considered as their retribution for doing so!" [Old follower B]

"I see, so I guess us supporting the new saint and saintess automatically make us the sinner here" [Diana]

Just when did you come? Maybe it's because of me getting to absorb in this conversation that I didn't notice her coming.

"Tch! Don't play dumb! There's no way the new saint and saintess can get to that position! Plus, not when the saintess is..." [Old follower B]

"Enough!" [Diana]

""!!"" [Ash, Rafiah]

Huh, she suddenly shouted, why?

"If you don't have anything else to said, you can leave, or else I'll call the guard!" [Diana]

"Fine! Rafiah, we are leaving" [Old follower B]

As she said that, she tries to drag Rafiah along with her, but, Rafiah simply refuses

"Rafiah! Have you forgotten what the church did to you! They helped us when we are in bind! Now is the time we should help them!" [Old follower B]

"I know..." [Rafiah]

"Then why!" [Old follower B]

"Because..." [Rafiah]

Something wrong here, it's like she's scared of something, but just what is it? Should I interfere? What should I do? Try to find the middle ground... maybe

"Sorry, but can you go first, I will teach your friend here about the treatment than she can just go back to you guys" [Ash]

"Huh? Are you crazy, there's no way we would do that!" [Old follower B]

Yup, not working. Now, what should I do

"Rafiah, if you don't come now, this will be the end to our friendship!" [Old follower B]

"..." [Rafiah]

"Rafiah..." [Old follower B]

She, she just went to Diana side. Huh? Why? Plus, this mana of her, she's from the... no way! But how come she joined the old follower then?

"........" [Old follower B]

And that girl simply left, she doesn't show any sort of emotion, she's simply blank, unable to process what just happened. Rafiah on the other hand, keep on saying sorry with such little crying voice. Diana tries to cheer her up, and it work (a bit)

"Well, do you have anyone you know here?" [Ash]

She shake her head...

"How about you come and live with us" [Ash]

"!" [Rafiah]

"ASH!" [Diana]

"No, I'm not a pervert, I'm simply concern here, since..." [Ash]

She might want to keep it a secret, so, should I ask Diana to leave first. Mehh, that will simply complicate this matter, so I should just ask her

"Just how did you manage to hide your race? No, I do know how, it's the effect of concealment from that bracelet, so my real question is just how did you find yourself with them" [Ash]

"!" [Rafiah]

"Ehh... what do you mean Ash?" [Diana]

"You are, a half angel and half demon, aren't you?" [Ash]

"What?" [Diana]

She nodded. After making sure there's nobody is watching us, I use my illusion magic to make us disappear for a while, and once I told her that, she removed the bracelet. Her short black hair and black eyes turn into that of blonde, with silver horn similar to Zerolith protruding out from her temporal bone. On her left side, is a wing of an angel, and on another side, is a silver colour wing, similar to that of a bat

"..." [Rafiah]

"This is..." [Diana]

"Sorry... sorry... sorry..." [Rafiah]

"Sorry? What for?" [Ash]

"Sorry... sorry... sorry..." [Rafiah]

"Rafiah..." [Diana]

"I ask you once again..." [Ash]

"Sorry... sorry... sorry..." [Rafiah]

"Sigh... I get it. I won't ask you for details, but in return, just tell me, do you want to come and take shelter with us? If you don't, I can pay for your inn, there's this nice inn that I know" [Ash]

"..." [Rafiah]

She nodded, well, at least she has calm down a little

"Which one?" [Ash]

"Can I, meet those kids first. Then, I will decide" [Rafiah]

"Why?" [Ash]

"To ask for forgiveness..." [Rafiah]

"I see, sure" [Ash]

"That's quick" [Diana]

"Well, I can't sense any malicious intent from her, so I guess it should be fine, for now. Just a warning though, don't try anything funny on them" [Ash]

Still have to say that, who knew if she's just faking it, but I'm 99.9% sure she isn't

"I won't, and thanks" [Rafiah]

"You're welcome" [Ash]

"Don't do anything funny to her!" [Diana]

"I WON'T! And what's with that face! At least trust me a little" [Ash]

Well, I know she's joking, but that sure hurts, a lot!

With that, Rafiah wear back her bracelet, turn to her human appearance, and I just dispel the illusion magic.

"Well, I should say welcome to our home for now" [Ash]

"Thank you" [Rafiah]

And there's the young healers, slowly gathering one by one
