Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 70.1

“I’m sorry for looking like this.”

“No, it’s fine. My name is Beryl Shadian. I don’t know what Al said, but I’m just a baron.”

Charlotte’s eyes widened as she looked back and forth between me and Al, a smile appearing on her face.

“Hehe. You’re just as Alphonse described.”

“Right? It’s just Beryl.”

“Um… did I do something again?”

“Hehe. Beryl can just be himself. Don’t worry about it.”

“If that’s the case… by the way, Charlotte, are you… sick?”

She smiled a bit sadly.

“Yes. It seems to be a disease that makes you unable to walk.”

“Seems to be…?”

“Yes. It’s a disease with an unknown cause.”

A disease with an unknown cause… I didn’t know such things existed.

I thought this world had enough measures in place, with various professions and churches.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t seen any diseases when I lived in the village or in Emblam.

“Al, can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“You’ve done a lot of research, right? In the end, it means you couldn’t find anything either?”

“…That’s right.”

As a prince, he should have consulted knowledgeable people and searched through documents. “World of Liberty” must have an enormous amount of books, so there should be sufficient knowledge.

I suddenly remembered the treasure house of Evanes. There were so many books that it would be believable to say it contained all the books of this world.

“Could you show me the symptoms? Not that I’m an expert, but I have some ideas.”

“! Charlotte! Can I ask you too?”

“Alphonse… sure. What should I do, Beryl-kun?”

Now that I think about it, she seems surprisingly friendly. She looks very graceful, but she talks casually with Al, so maybe that’s just her personality.

“Aside from not being able to move your legs, are there any other symptoms? Like loss of appetite?”

“I can eat a lot! But I try not to eat too much because I might gain weight.”

Ahaha… managing weight is indeed important.

“Then, can you show me your legs that don’t move?”

Nodding, Charlotte pulled back the blanket.

There were beautiful, pale legs lined up, but they looked rather bloodless.

“Were they always this white?”

“No, they became gradually whiter after I couldn’t move.”

I somehow feel like there’s no blood flowing to her legs. But I’m not well-versed in medicine and don’t have the knowledge. I just know this isn’t a normal state.

“I’ll also look into it within my limits. Thank you.”

“Hehe. For someone you don’t even know… just like Alphonse said.”

“N-No… I don’t know what Al said, but if Charlotte wasn’t Al’s fiancée, I probably wouldn’t have cared.”

“Let’s leave it at that. Also… I want you to talk to me casually too. Is that okay?”

Surprised, I looked at Al, and he nodded with a smile.

Al seems to not care much about status, and she might be the same.

“Beryl, you’re a baron after all. Your status is higher than that of noble daughters.”

“That’s true, but… I still don’t feel like a noble.”

“Stop trying to create a splendid town and give it a rest.”

“Beryl-kun is building a town?”

“Yes. I’m currently working on it just west of the royal capital.”

“I want to see it!”

“Then, I’ll invite you first when the town is complete. Since my young lady and the count’s daughter will be there, it should be fun!”

“Wow! I’m looking forward to it! Alphonse, let’s go together!”

After that, the three of us—me, Al, and Charlotte—talked non-stop.
