Apparently, those who have fallen victim to the disease had been placed in a special isolated store house. Before Aruki and the convoy entered, they were all handed a cloth as which to cover their faces, which they did. When they entered the house, the first sight that entered his eyes were tens, or even hundreds, of townspeople who have been struck by the disease lying around, covered with white sheets. Coughes and pants were so heavy that they filled the room with a daunting atmosphere. The pharmacists quickly set out to do their jobs, as they began to take notes of the symptoms and diagnose the patients.
Aruki also sat down and checked one of the patient. Aside from hard coughing and difficulty to breathe, those who have fallen ill seem to have developed some sort of abnormal purple rashes, which is a symptom that none had ever seen anywhere in the Kingdom. He learned that the plague had began to spread for about two weeks ago and the local doctors and pharmacists had done everything in other to find a cure, yet their efforts were in vain, because it was a strange disease.
"Did you manage to identify this kind of illness?" Aruki went to the a pharmacist nearby and asked.
"My greatest apology, Aruki-sama, but I've never seen anything like this in my 20 years of work." The pharmacist bowed his head, "Perhaps I can send a word back to the capital and ask Akiha-sama if he knows anything?"
Aruki shook his head, "No need for that yet. Let's not lose our hope, we'll figure out something."
He then stood up and went to Kou, "Are you okay, Kou-san? You don't really need to be in here if you felt uncomfortable. Why don't you join Isolde to find somewhere for us to stay for the night?"
