Whispering Verse

Shade is sick.

This disease is not without signs. After sending Dr. Schneider to the Randall Valley train station on Wednesday and then returning home, Shade felt something was not right with his body. The initial symptoms were a slight feeling of weakness and slight dizziness in his head, but he just thought it was because he had been overworking recently and suddenly relaxed, and his body was not used to it yet.

Therefore, after he was busy writing the "Report on Miss Fiona Drago and the Establishment of the Academy" to Miss Denister, that night, he also met Lucy, who had not spent the night at No. 6 St. Teresa Square for a long time. Had a pretty good night, Via.

Just like Miss Carina said, the purple-eyed girl knew what was going on between them in advance. Therefore, when the two cuddled up together at midnight and Shade told his apology and plans for the future, Luvia was not angry, but pointed her finger on his lips:

"We agreed from the beginning, dissolute knight, if it is for our cause, I will not object to your approach."

At this time, Shade could already feel the dizziness in his head getting worse, but the gentle girl in his arms prevented him from thinking more.

"You are very reserved about love and have not taken advantage of my trust in you. You have a good sense of choosing your target. Even I must admit that Carina Cavendish is really beautiful. I talked to her , she will do her best to help us, and the power of the Witch Council will eventually fall into our hands."

She gently kissed the side of Shade's face, and a reserved and charming expression appeared on her face at the same time:

"On a night like this, don't talk about spoiling things. Please tell me, knight, how does it feel to be a witch...?"

Even though Shade didn't say anything was wrong with him, after being woken up on time by Mia meowing on Thursday morning, Luvia still found that his voice was a little hoarse, and he actually coughed a few times when he got up.

It is extremely rare for a ring warlock to get sick, let alone a ring warlock with extremely strong physical fitness like Shade.

Although Shade still believed that this might have something to do with him being too tired these past few days, Luvia immediately blushed and loudly claimed that this had absolutely nothing to do with her.

She was quite worried about this and sent the letter to Carina Manor, hoping that a maid would be able to take care of Shade in the past few days.

The whole Thursday, Shade stayed at home because he felt unwell. On that night, Shade, who was sore all over his body, even gave up his original plan to write a report after dinner and went directly to his room to rest. Half an hour later, when the three young maids who were attracted by Mia's cry touched his forehead, they discovered that his body temperature had risen to a dangerous temperature.

Anxious Luvia, Miss Carina and Dorothy soon gathered at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square that night. After confirming that Shade had an inexplicable high fever, he used the magician's method to confirm that this was definitely not a normal illness.

Mystical methods, including the [Epidemic Doctor Ring], cannot affect his state. Only through the most primitive physical cooling method, his body temperature was barely lowered, but the persistent high fever showed no sign of subsidence.

Shade, who was tortured by the illness, was not completely unconscious. He knew that the ladies were coming, and that Mia was lying on the side of his head worriedly, but he could only moan and feel uncomfortable all over his body, struggling constantly in a half-dream and half-awake state.

For a long time, he remained in this delicate state of half-asleep and half-awake. The high fever caused severe headaches and the inability to distinguish dreams from reality. The headaches and nausea were made worse by the constant rhythm of the leather drum that I heard at the Wilde Opera House while I was in a coma.

For a while, he even dreamed that he was stabbed to death by Luvia with a sharp knife. In reality, when Luvia woke him up to drink medicine, he was so frightened that he could not move.

When you close your eyes, you see darkness; when you open your eyes, you see the monotonous scenery of the bedroom. He knew that he was always at home, knew that Mia rarely left him, knew that the maids and ladies had been taking care of him, knew that many people came to visit him, and knew that he had been fed many strange potions, but he himself could not speak coherently. to think.

Severe headaches, nausea, and the body's instinctive lethargy made him lose his sensitivity to time for nearly two weeks from Thursday, the 13th of the Wind Rises Moon, to Saturday, the 22nd of the Wind Rises Moon. Spend.

He lies in bed every day, and someone brings him three meals on time. Occasionally when he wakes up, he can see Mia on the window sill, eyeing Luvia's new flowers. The flowers in the flower pots bloom with more and more conspicuous petals as he opens his eyes again and again. .

After all, spring has really come.

The clothes on the girls seemed to have transitioned from winter to spring in just over a week. The maids who take care of him at home every day also tell more and more about the spring scenery of Tobesk City outside the window.

In his daze, he knew that Luvia would stay here most nights, and when he woke up with a headache late at night, she would hold him in bed and tell him various stories;

Miss Carina would arrange a maid at home every morning, and leave Tifa at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square to take care of his daily life. When the Duchess left, Shade would always get a wet kiss on his forehead;

Dorothy and Lesia with Agelina each came to visit him every other day. The sad girls often sat by the bed, holding his hand and telling all kinds of love words.

It seems that with Shade's serious illness, his home has become more lively than usual.

Yin Luna, Sister Devlin, Helen and Grace, Priest August, and Dr. Schneider, who returned to Tobesk a little later, all came here to visit him. Ordinary friends Baron Lavender, Baron Rwanda, Director Anlos, neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Smith and others also expressed their concerns.

At some point, a mountain of various gifts, including but not limited to carnations, chocolates, greeting cards, fruits, and handicrafts, piled up at the foot of the bed and in the kitchen. Every day when Shade woke up, he would hear with a headache that someone else had come to visit him. Even Queen Diana sent a doctor to check on him and sent him a brand new tea set as a gift.

Four great witches from afar, including Grandma Cassandra, also appeared in Shade's home worriedly through projection on a night that Shade could not remember. The projection ritual they used was obviously very advanced. After checking on him in the bedroom, they discussed Shade's strange condition together.

Although the fever persists, the good news is that besides the high fever, pain, vomiting, and severe nasal congestion, Shade has no other symptoms, and the symptoms are not contagious to anyone. This was not a simple disease, not a curse, and there were no traces of the relic's influence. This seemed to be a natural reaction of Shad's body, so the day after Shad developed a high fever, the witches were completely sure that this was directly related to the "distorted origin of the earth" that had been swallowed.

Worried, Luvia asked Yin Luna to go to the Randall Valley to discuss the situation with the "Guardian of the Earth" through the basement of Shade's house. On the other hand, she used one of the three "Devil's Gold Coins" without hesitation. A divination was performed.

The divination results were combined with the advice given by the chosen one from the distant earth. The ladies who were worried about Shade's physical condition knew that Shade only needed to stay in bed and he would recover naturally over time.

As a result, the groggy stranger received the best care he could have imagined. During this period, Miss Carina even thought about moving Shade to her manor, but Luvia and Dorothy rejected it together:

"Shad can only recover at his own home. This is the result of divination. Moreover, he will feel uncomfortable if he is not at home!"

No one can refute this reason.

He was indeed recovering day by day. In the first few days of the disease, Shade's total waking hours did not exceed six hours a day, and he ate very few meals every day. But starting from the fourth day, although the high fever still persisted, his lethargy was significantly relieved, and he was even able to listen to the maids reading newspapers in bed and have short conversations with visiting guests.

When the time came to the seventh day of illness, although his throat was hoarse and he could not speak, Shade could try dragging his weak body and get out of bed to wash his face and brush his teeth. But as soon as he left the bedroom, he was gently held back by the maids, and was later lectured by Luvia, Dorothy, Miss Carina and Lesia in turn:

"When the maids help you wipe your face and brush your teeth, isn't it the same as doing it yourself? Oh, Shade, you're like this, can't you enjoy your life?"

Shade herself knew what was wrong with her. After all, after swallowing the power that twisted the earth, "she" also said that the side effects would appear later. And a high fever that doesn't go away is, as "she" said, not a very dangerous thing.

Although Shade's body can recover naturally, the girls still prepared various strange "supplements" for Shade in an attempt to speed up his recovery. But those weird potions and supplements with names that Shade had never heard of mostly tasted weird and had no effect.

Of course, not all methods are useless. What works is the magic potion sent by Sister Devlin and the Red Butterfly Twins.

The nun's potion is a potion that can repair the soul that she made in the sacrificial hall after taking some "Moonlight Water" from the attic and using the secret method of the [Spiritual Cult]. What Helen and Grace sent was a strange red potion.

The medicine was in a thumb-sized test tube, and the liquid in the test tube was crystal clear. Although the taste has a "blood brew" feeling, it is more of a sour and sweet taste like green apples.

Shade originally thought that he would not be able to recover until the end of the Wind Rises Moon, but with the help of the nuns and the Red Butterfly girls, he felt that he was not far from recovery.
