Looking over the patients with severe symptoms via the Demon Eye,
questioning the patients with moderate symptoms, and comparing his theories
with the patients' charts.
The patients were startled by Cliff's attire, and there were many among them
who clearly showed him hostility as well.
Those who persecuted the Supard race the most violently were the Milis
Religious Organization after all.
"Answer truthfully, where did you first feel discomfort in your body?"
In a situation where those in need were not cooperating, if it were me, I'd have
given up halfway.
As expected of Cliff.
"I see."
But, I had a hunch that perhaps he had still not understood anything.
I felt as if...even if Cliff may call himself a genius, there are things that can't be
understood.
Cliff said that and proceeded to consult with the team of doctors.
How did they perform the examination, and what did they intend to do
afterwards?
"I see, the doctors of the Asura Kingdom aren't that great, huh?"

The ones who were dumbfounded were both me and the doctors.
"If that could cure it, it would have already been cured by Rudeus or Orsted."
On the opposite end, Norn, who was nursing Ruijerd, was looking this way with
a worried face as well.
Part 2
After leaving the lecture hall, Cliff stopped and looked over his results.
"Now then, I have confirmed one thing. I've heard this from the elder, but it
looks like there was never a time until now that the Supards were struck with
this kind of disease."
"They were struck by this disease after they came to this land. Which means,
the source of the disease can be tied with this land."
"It's not that. The Demon Eye can detect that sort of thing."
He removed his eye-patch and carefully observed the growing vegetables one-
by-one. At times he cut one and observed the inside to double-check.
At any rate, if it became known that the Supards are just ordinary farmers,
perhaps society will view them differently?

themselves.
"Next."
There were small traces of blood left, but all the meat was disposed of.
It looks like the villagers were in the middle of carving the animals when they
collapsed, but it would have been unsanitary to leave the raw meat as it was. So
on Sándor's order, they were thrown out of the village.
Cliff was diligently examining the cutlery and chopping board with his
Identification Eye.
"...I see. Rudeus, where is the meat stored that is processed here?"
I don't know what he 'saw', but I led him to the food storehouse.
A structure just below ground, there was dried and salted meat. In addition,
large quantities of preserved vegetables were stored inside the building.
Cliff used his Identification Eye there as well and was examining each item
one-by-one.
After leaving the food storehouse, Cliff began looking around the village
houses.
This is trespassing.
Cliff is brave.
Be that as it may, now that I look around the Supards' houses, I can understand
why Ruijerd's house is plain.
The other houses were decorated with flowers and drawings...…it suggested an
energy and livelihood.
Of course, if there were any residents with moderate symptoms still in the
house, then we asked for their permission.
"Milis church...!"
"M-mother..."
After seeing the priest Cliff, some raised their spears in intimidation, but that
did not prevent us from gaining their permission.

Watching her, the daughter hugged the mother who looked as if she was about
to cry.
It feels like that there is still a gap that has yet to be bridged between them.
As far as I and Cliff are concerned, the persecutions of the Supards were a thing
of the past.
But there are many victims who still remember that in this village.
"So, what kind of things do you eat? What is your cooking process?"
As if he has no consideration for the frightened mother and the child trembling
with anxiety, he continued his questioning.
Part 3
"Hmm."
Or so I think, I hope that it's possible for the daughter to reconsider that.
While saying that, Cliff started looking around various areas of the village.
The fountain, the water well, the warehouse that lied in the center of the
village. On top of that, he even looked around the garbage dump.
"...…"
Seriously rummaging through the contents of the dump while pushing through
the rotten meat.

And when he finished examining the entire village, it was completely dark.
"Ooh."
When Cliff shouted inside the infirmary, Elinalize, who was nursing, quickly
got up and began running.
She grabbed the large backpack which was at the corner of the infirmary, and
came running this way.
"Hoh."
For now, the fact that the Supards were struck by this disease after coming to
this land is confirmed.
That's why I tried looking at the vegetables grown in this land with the
Identification Eye."
Hahh...?
"It didn't look like some kind of pathogen was lurking in the land or the water."
"So that kind of thing can be found out with the Identification Eye?"
"But, everything was indicating one thing, 『A delicious tomato having a very
high concentration of mana』"
"It's not just the vegetables. The land, as well as the water, are holding a very
high concentration of mana."
https://www.webnovel.com/book/mushoku-tensei-full-version_27096259406624705/volume-23-chapter-7-genius_72969207121237830### 5/18

"There are cases even in Milis of food having high concentration of mana, but
it's quite rare.
That if we prepare the rice in the soil made by me, it will grow well.
"And?"
"Yeah. And I would like to know if farming was popular in the Demon
Continent."
"I am unaware of the Supard lifestyle in the Demon Continent, but there were
almost no vegetables or anything like that there. The variety was also limited
and the staple food there was just meat."
Cliff raised his finger with a flick and started speaking about his hypothesis.
"Possibly, growing crops in a soil with high mana density resulted in crops
having high mana density."
"Not to mention that there are a variety of soils. The soil in the Demon
Continent is rich in mana, but due to the lack of fertility, only a few crops can be
grown there."
"The Great Forest as well, this kind of disease can't be found there, so that
place is probably special.
In this place, the soil and water is infused with too much mana.
Perhaps it is related to why there's only one kind of monster here, but let's
leave that case for later."
If there was any correlation, it wouldn't be strange to see many similar cases
before now.
What I'm trying to say is, in reality, we can eject any mana that we consume.

mana for 100-200 years..."
"Despite the plague, there are many adults who are infected, but many children
who are unaffected."
Certainly, there are a lot of children who are unaffected by the plague.
It's hard to figure out how many of the Supards are of old age, but it's not a
problem regarding immunity, is that what he's saying?
A case where the mana that was taken in couldn't be ejected from the body."
Couldn't be ejected...?
The initial symptoms were cold, and you fall at the same time you succumb to
it.
Perhaps Orsted didn't even know its name, much less a method to cure it.
Yeah.
If there wasn't anyone suffering from it in one of the loops, then even Orsted
wouldn't know about it.
There's also the fact that it's difficult to ask Kishirika about it, just like how it
was for me.
"But there are contradictions as well. It shouldn't have been that long since
Ruijerd-san came to this village."
Cliff said that and took out a box from the bag.
There were a variety of papers and materials tightly packed inside of it.
Cliff took out a red fruit from the bottom of the bag.

"The thing that will become the source of poison. It will make the mana inside
the body malfunction."
"Poison...is it?"
"Ah. Although it's called a poison, it only works to the point of rendering a
magician unable to use magic if drank."
"According to the Identification Eye, this was taken along with the Sokasu tea
since ancient times.
『It improves the effects of the Sokasu tea, and can be used as tea cakes, though
it will also make you slightly drunk』, or so I'm reading."
"The only problem is...…if the Supards drink this right now, I don't know what
will happen."
"...…"
"In my opinion, this can cure it. But it may also have a reverse effect."
There is no guarantee.
And then, while making up his mind, he turned to the infirmary and shouted.
After Cliff's words, the inside of the infirmary became still as death.
"Just one is fine! There's no guarantee that you'll be cured after drinking it!"
In order to see the effects, there is no need to make everyone drink it.
Someone said.
When I looked, it was one of the males present during the meeting with the
chieftains.

"I'll drink...…"
However, as if to drown out her voice, the surrounding voices raised in volume.
"Ruijerd, are you going to believe someone from the Milis church?"
"That's right! Who were the ones who prosecuted us the most after the war,
you of all people should know that as well!"
"I have never heard of someone who would make someone forcefully drink
something without any reason!"
Even the Supards, who were silent up till now, started to object.
An incomprehensible medicine.
Which was brought by a person wearing the Milis Church's clothes, no less.
With Ruijerd's roar, silence was again brought about in the infirmary.
Ruijerd who declared that, was coughing violently and was being caressed on
his back by Norn.
"Rudeus brought this man along. I believe in Rudeus. If you have any
complaints, say them after I die..."
It was a scene which showed just how influential the name Ruijerd Supardia is
in this village.
"Alright then, Ruijerd-san. I'll have you drink the medicine. I'll say this in
advance, but there is a possibility that it may worsen and you will die."

I'm doing all of this for the Supard race, or rather, for Ruijerd's sake.
Look, even Norn has that 'Huh?' face. We both have the same opinion.
"I was saved by Ruijerd in the Demon Continent. I would have no future if I had
died back then, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Reacting to those words, people started saying "Me too" and raised their hands
as well.
"We can't trust in the Milis church. But Ruijerd is our hero. We'll abide by what
this hero has decided."
"People of the Human race, I apologize about our attitude, about our words
towards you. Please save this village."
Part 4
After drinking the Sokasu tea with red fruit, Ruijerd and the rest fell asleep.
At the very least, their condition didn't suddenly worsen, and they didn't die
immediately after drinking it.
I don't think that everything would be settled with just the Sokasu tea.
"...…"
Norn wanted to stay beside Ruijerd, but there was nothing she could do since he
was asleep, so she came with me to the house.
https://www.webnovel.com/book/mushoku-tensei-full-version_27096259406624705/volume-23-chapter-7-genius_72969207121237830### 10/18

Within the pot, there were vegetables and meat brought in by the team of
doctors.
Despite Cliff telling me that it's probably fine, I still can't eat the village's food
without thinking that it might have been the cause of the plague.
Norn muttered.
She's anxious.
Even I am.
"Really?"
"It's alright. You might've heard about it, but Ruijerd was surrounded by over
1000 soldiers during Laplace's military campaign and came back alive. He
won't be dying in a place like this."
"I'm anxious..."
Norn said that and folded her legs to hide her face.
It's not that I have to cheer her up, but there's no meaning in feeling sad as
well.
I hope to at least make the food go down so that we could sleep soundly.
"That, how should I say this...well, sorry for not coming to see you."
But, now that I think about it…I see, during the time of Sylphy's delivery...so it
was already time for graduation, huh?
Even though it would've been fine to tell Roxy and the others...

"But you were the student council president, you did give a speech or two,
right?"
"Of course, we did a congratulatory speech. But I fumbled midway, and I almost
fell down the stairs, it was terrible."
The figure of a person fumbling in the middle of a speech, losing her footing
while descending the stairs but somehow not falling down.
Norn has a somewhat ashamed face, but I would've taken a video and had it
placed on my grave.
"Which reminds me, before graduation you were talking about doing some kind
of event, right? What did you do at the end?"
"...…Did you not duel with various people during Cliff-senpai's graduation? We
just imitated that and held a fighting arts tournament."
"The danger was suppressed as much as possible. The rules were to not kill
anyone, the school lent out many Saint-class healing magic formations,
healers were on standby as well, and the teachers prepared many healing
scrolls too. On top of that, the participants were made to write an oath. That's
why there were some injuries, but 0 deaths."
That's amazing.
If it's to the level of graduates from Magic University, then there should be
many who can mutually kill each other with high powered magic.

I suppose they didn't have much of a budget, so it's possible it was a strenuous
effort.
"And yet, the moment Rimy saw a large number of male participants, she
proposed:『The winner will get a hot kiss as a present from President Norn~』"
"Eeh!"
"They got so excited, both the people participating and those who were not."
"Then...did you?"
But Norn has buried her bright red face in her knees and is moaning with a
'Uuuu'.
"The one who won said he will never forget it...…but I already want to forget
about him."
"I see, what's that guy called? If possible tell me about his address and phone
number, and maybe some kind, mysterious masked magician will erase him
and his memories from this world."
"Phone?"
"Nothing."
Not sitting while holding her knees, but sitting with her legs in a 'W' pose.

were a lot of difficult things as well. I feel like I just kept reflecting."
"...…Yes."
"Well then, the potatoes are almost cooked. Do you want to eat as well?"
I pour the potato stew and meat in a bowl and give it to Norn.
Norn was staring at the contents, but after a short while she muttered a few
words.
"Nii-san."
"Hmm?"
"Hm."
Part 5
Along with Norn, I went out towards the infirmary as the sun rose.
"...…"
For now, we were able to get a good night's sleep thanks to the unappetizing
potato stew.
While resolving myself to some extent, I opened the door to the infirmary.
"!"
The inside of the infirmary, which was like the wake until yesterday, was
overflowing with liveliness.

"Rudeus-dono!"
Did it work?
"Last night, the ones who drank that medicinal water suddenly experienced
bowel movements.
When taken by the nurse to the toilet, everyone started discharging light-blue
diarrhea. A short while after that, they all rapidly started to get healthier.
The ones who were seriously ill haven't recovered yet, but if given a bit longer,
they will definitely recover!"
To think that I would hear such a fortunate thing so early in the morning...…
I can definitely say with confidence that Cliff Grimoire is the person who even
smashed the curse!
The doctor said all that to us in one go and hurried back to the patients.
Light-blue diarrhea.
"Rudeus."
"Ah, Orsted-sama."
The moment I heard those words, my mind suddenly crossed some strange
ideas.
Perhaps.

But, if only perhaps, what if that Vita had already cured the plague?
Just to threaten, by using his fissions, he was making the physical condition of
the villagers worse, and after his death, while mustering his last power, he gave
a job to his fissions...
And then, the fissions that were hidden somewhere in the intestines were
disintegrated by the red fruit and Sokasu tea and were washed away...
Which means?
"...Right?"
"Where is Cliff-senpai?"
"He was looking after the conditions of the patients, but fell asleep shortly
after dawn. He's currently in a nearby vacant house with Elinalize
Dragonroad."
I see.
He worked hard.
Since he'll start preparation for a second child with Elinalize right away after he
wakes up.

I'm not mimicking Norn, it's the only feeling that's coming out of me.
"...…Let's not say such things to each other. Not to mention, you haven't

And started sobbing convulsively while hiding her face with her hands.

Author's Q&A
A. Maybe he noticed it by some chance. Like, he may have heard from someone
about his origins from the Magic University in the Asura Kingdom.
A. One of the pupils of the Magic University and a member of the student
council. Of course, she hasn't even showed up yet.
Q. When Cliff said 'Just one is fine', what happened after that?
"...Then, me too!"
Q. Cliff was able to check Elinalize's pregnancy with the Identification Eye but
couldn't check for Vita's fissions that were inside the body?
Q. In the end, it's still not clear what cured the disease.
A. Cliff's prescription cured the plague and exterminated Vita's fissions. The
red fruit that cliff had disrupts mana in the body. Most likely it disrupted Vita's
fissions(The blue stool that came out after they took the medicine) with this
the Supard race got healthy! With this we can rest for now! We did it!
That's everything from Rudeus point of view. Perhaps someone would roughly
explain it in the second half of this volume or perhaps they won't.
