Even before becoming Eve's follower, Istina, as a non-combat member, would not suffer from any illness even when working overtime on a daily basis.
As a result, Melchis suddenly had a high fever and couldn't get up, leaving everyone at a loss.
Melchis was in normal condition at dinner time, but in a short time after the meal, she had a high fever and was so weak that she had to lie in bed. What was even worse was that Eve and the others had no idea what caused it.
They stayed together the entire day, coming into contact with the same objects and people. Theoretically, since Sith was sick, they should have shown some signs, but there were none.
As for the possibility that there was a problem in the city, it could be ruled out directly because they did not hear any such rumors when they walked on the streets during the day. The elves on the streets all looked healthy, and many people greeted Melchis, the white elf, enthusiastically after seeing her.
At this time, in order to prevent the possible source of infection from leaking out, Eve had used magic to turn the room into a low-pressure area, and set up physical blockade magic. Depending on the situation, she was also preparing to transfer people into the demiplane.
"How is it? Is the fever showing any signs of going down?"
At this time, Istina was sitting by the bed, holding an ice pack and gently applying it to Sis's burning forehead.
"No, it's still hot."
Istina shook her head and said helplessly.
She had tried all the healing magics she knew, but none of them worked. After all, the magics she learned were all focused on recovering from injuries, and had nothing to do with treating diseases.
At this time, Melchis's little face lying on the bed was burned red, and fine beads of sweat kept appearing. Her usually white pointed ears were also congested and red, and even felt a little hot to the touch. Her breathing was also extremely rapid, and her thin eyebrows were wrinkled into a ball, looking very painful.
"Tsk, I'll go contact my mother."
As she said that, Eve prepared to go to the side to ask her mother for help off-site. After all, the situation of extraordinary people getting sick was beyond her knowledge.
But at this moment, Melchis, who was lying on the bed, suddenly called her in a daze.
"Eve."
"Yeah, I'm here."
As she spoke, Eve quickly reached into the quilt and held her little hand, allowing her to feel her presence.
"Don't go..."
"Okay, don't worry, I won't leave."
"Um…"
After hearing what Eve said, Melchis closed her eyes and dozed off.
Forget it, since she doesn't want to do it right away, I'll just contact Shizu directly.
Thinking of this, Eve directly dialed the number to call Elizabeth.
"Mother, Shizu suddenly has a high fever that won't go away. Is there any good solution?"
Eve went straight to the point and interrupted Elizabeth who was about to say something and asked about the business.
"High fever?... So you've reached the city? And walked around the streets for a while?"
"Eh? That's right..."
Eve seemed a little surprised when she heard Elizabeth's question, but could this be the cause of Sith's illness?
"Ah, that's normal. She'll probably be better by tomorrow morning. We just need to lower her temperature moderately tonight. It won't happen again."
"Normal situation?"
"That's right, little Eve, just think of it as a little overheated right now. Her body will adapt by tomorrow, and she'll also be able to gain most common sense. I forgot to remind you of this before."
"Oh, it's okay, thank you mother."
"Well, then little Eve, take good care of her."
After saying this, Elizabeth hung up the phone.
"My lord, how is the situation?"
Seeing Eve end the communication magic, Istina asked hurriedly.
"Mother said she's normal now and will recover by tomorrow morning, so Tina, go to sleep first. I'll just keep an eye on her tonight. I'll call you if anything unexpected happens."
After all, unlike Eve, if Istina stays up all night, her mental state will still be affected the next day.
"All right…"
Nodding, Istina was quite clear about her situation and didn't dwell on it any more. She lay down beside Melchis with her clothes on so that she could get up at any time. Eve took the ice pack from her hand and began to apply cold compress to Sis.
As the night deepened, Melchis's condition gradually improved, just as Elizabeth had said. Her expression became much calmer, and her body temperature dropped significantly, returning to a state only slightly higher than usual.
Seeing this, Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened to such an important person around her, she didn't know how to explain to the elves.
And even though they had just started to get along, Eve still quite liked Melchis, although it would be better if she could talk less about true damage and armor penetration.
Anyway, according to my mother, Melchis will have gained most common sense by the time she wakes up in the morning? Does that mean "One Hundred Thousand Whys" is going to be retired soon? Great!
It turns out that the cause of Sis's illness was really contact with people. What a rare cause of illness. Fortunately, she will recover on her own after one night and will not relapse. Otherwise, their trip will be about survival in the wilderness.
Wait, could this be the reason why Shizu has been wandering in the wilderness?
But that didn't make sense. From what my mother had said, the high fever from being in contact with people wouldn't have any real effect on her body. So, what secret did Shizu hold?
Ahhh, I don't understand at all.
Eve scratched her hair with her free hand in annoyance and finally chose to give up worrying about it. Now she should just focus on taking care of Melchis. Anyway, she will know the truth when the time comes.
Even if I wanted to ask now, my mother would definitely brush it off with a laugh.
Sigh, I clearly asked her to take care of someone but didn't tell her about the other person's situation. How can it be so torturous...
The night is still long, but for Eve it is destined to be a sleepless night.
§ 70 Rehabilitation
In the early morning, just as the sky was getting light, Melchis opened her eyes.
"Um...um..."
Last night her high fever gradually subsided, her body temperature returned to normal, and she did not show any signs of discomfort in her sleep.
"Are you awake? How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Seeing Sith wake up, Eve asked hurriedly with concern.
"Eve?"
Hearing Eve ask this, Melchis moved a little more.
"Yeah! No problem!"
As she said that, she was about to jump under the bed to show off, but Eve quickly pushed her back.
"Stop, stop, stop. Take a day off today, Shizu. If there's anything you want, I'll get it for you. Don't wander around on your own."
Although my mother said that Melchis's condition will get better in a day, it's better to be on the safe side.
However, after all this commotion, Istina next to her also woke up. After all, she slept lightly last night, so she naturally woke up after all this commotion.
"Eve? Ah, Sis, are you okay?"
"Ok!"
After saying this, Melchis tried to fight for the right to move freely from Istina.
"Tina, Eve won't let me get out of bed~"
But what she will face is naturally double the oppression.
"no!"
In complete agreement with Eve's opinion, Istina was even more decisive, completely cutting off all hope of Melchis.
"Well……"
However, seeing Sis's lost look, Istina reached out and pinched her cheek, assuring her.
"Not today, but tomorrow Shizu can go wherever she wants. How about that?"
"That's right. As long as Shizu stays indoors today, Tina and I will accompany you no matter what you want to do tomorrow."
Eve also echoed in time.
"All right…"
But a new problem arises - what to do?
After all, here is not like Eve's previous life where there are so many ways to kill time. You can lie down all day with a mobile phone in your arms. Lying down here for a day is just like being in a daze. Telling stories all day is not feasible either. It's just that someone else is crazy.
So, are there any entertainment activities that are easy to do and simple to understand?
After thinking for a while, Eve felt that only playing cards seemed to be suitable. They were easy to learn, easy to make, very entertaining, and could also give some small punishments. Time passed by unknowingly while playing.
Thinking of this, Eve said to the two of them.
"Wait a few minutes for me. I'm going to make something to kill time. Otherwise, it would be too boring to sit like this all day."
"Oh."
Although they didn't know what Eve could come up with in a few minutes, the two nodded obediently.
Just like that, a few minutes later...
"Okay, it's done."
Eve came back with a deck of cards cut out of white paper, and in her other hand she also held a lot of small paper stickers made from scraps of paper.
After briefly explaining the rules to the two of them, Eve shook the paper in her hand again.
"Have you memorized the rules? No cheating during the game. The winner can give the loser a note."
"Hmm... should be fine."
After roughly recalling the rules Eve had just mentioned, Istina nodded, but Melchis was full of confidence and seemed very interested.
"Yeah! Come play!"
"Okay, then let me show you how powerful I am!"
Compared to the two newbie card players, Eve is full of confidence. She is ready to win all the way. Anyone who becomes her enemy should be prepared to be covered with small notes!
However, Eve forgot one very important thing - humans cannot beat dogs, and skills cannot beat luck.
In the following moments, the following events occurred: "I have seventeen cards, can you kill me in one second? Spring...; Hahaha, this hand of mine is invincible. Watch me kill you in one second after playing this single card, and then... Counter-Spring..."
Just like that, after several hours, Eve was in tears as she looked at Istina's face across from her and her own face in the mirror, which was covered with small notes. She really couldn't lose anymore, or she would have no place to put the notes.
Among the three people present, only Melchis did not have a single note stuck on her. That’s right, not a single note!!!
Is it reasonable for a novice who has just started playing cards to win all the time without losing a single game?
Isn't Melchis's luck a little too good?
Rather than saying it's good luck, it's like it's almost at the level of causality, so I'm bound to win, right?
I feel like if I take her back to her previous life to buy a lottery ticket, she will probably win, after all, it’s the law of cause and effect.
And now Melchis is still very excited to play another game with the two of them.
"Eve, Tina, playing cards is fun, keep going."
"Uh-huh…"
But what else could Eve do? She had to swallow her own sins even with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, her savior finally arrived.
"Master, can I try it too?"
Arcana, who had been watching from the side for a long time, suddenly asked.
"!"
Trying hard not to smile, Eve silently handed the cards in her hand to Arcana.
"So, you know the rules, right?"
"Yeah, I've remembered it after watching it for so long."
Looking at the cards in her hand, Arcana replied with a smile, "The owner has good luck this time. Let's see how she wins."
