My lord, my heart breaks for you...
The bath... was fun.
This is what you get for not drying your hair.
Are you a child?
Okay, here's some piping-hot rice porridge.
Warm up your insides with this and you'll feel a hundred times better!
Was it too hot?!
But you need to eat lots if you want to feel better.
Here!
You two spoil him too much.
He's a boy, isn't he? He'll be fine after a good night's sleep!
Menu 5 Porridge Made With Love ~Topped with a Twilight Fate~
Y-Your face is a bit red...
You're burning up!
H-Hey, I think he's really in trouble!
I'm making the medicine we used in the town where I grew up.
Wait a minute!
Why are you putting bugs in there like it's no big deal?!
In the town where I grew up...
Spare us your silly bumpkin folk remedies!
Hey, you! What are you putting in that porridge?!
What? But it's full of nutrients...
Stop thinking you can fix everything with bugs!
Now I have no choice!
I'm taking him to a real hospital!
PriConne
Is it this way?
Give me a second.
I don't exactly go to the hospital often...
Let's see...
Oh, looks like it's this way.
Let's go take a look.
Excuse me! We have an emergency patient!
Of course! What seems to be the problem?
Um... This is the hospital, right?
Yep, it sure is!
He's had a fever since last night.
Oh, my... What have we here?
To the exam room!
Open wide, now.
That's a good boy.
The doctor and nurse sure dress funny,
but it looks like they'll give him a proper exam.
Karyl, you shouldn't judge people by their appearances.
That's asking a bit much in this case.
You'd be crazy not to be a little concerned by those outfits.
Now, take off your clothes and let me see your belly.
Keep quiet, you two.
For such a slender thing, you do have some muscle.
Oh?
This looks like...
It definitely is.
Indeed.
Nanaka, prepare to operate!
Yes, Doctor!
What?!
D-Doctor, is he all right?!
Quiet, gawkers!
I'll make him feel 30% better!
Let's begin.
Is it that much more serious than we thought?!
Th-They say a cold can lead to more serious illnesses...
Arattama, kiyottama...
Great Lady Ameth, grant my lord strength!
C-Cut it out!
Arattama, kiyottama...
Kokkoro, calm down!
Arattama, kiyottama... Arattama, kiyo—
Keep it together, Kokkoro!
We're in a hospital, you know!
I-I'm sorry. I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
You're completely blind when it comes to him, aren't you?
Be more careful.
This is a clinic in Landosol.
You can rest easy.
Right...
M-My lord... My lord is...
Hey! Get a grip!
Take it easy, Kokkoro!
I-I'm so sorry!
Quit cloggin' up the hallway, you—
I-It's you guys!
Wait, you're...
the guy who barged into the Cockatrice's Nest to complain!
It's so good!
You're a lot skinnier now.
Have you been eating?
Cut the crap! It's because of you that I'm here—
Th-They're operating right now, aren't they?
Yes.
This is my only chance!
If I let it slip by, I'll never be able to break out of this hell!
Huh? Um, what does that—
This ain't no hospital!
It's a prison!
Sorry, but I'm gettin' out of here while those demons aren't around!
What did he mean?! What did he mean?!
Why was he so panicked?
M-Maybe it's not too late to go to another hospital...
G-Good idea!
It may be rude toward the doctor, but after seeing that guy—
Hidebu!
Hee hee hee...
What an ill-mannered patient you are.
Let's return you to your bed.
I'm quite busy, you know.
I have to find my soulmate.
Hee hee hee hee...
Hee hee hee hee hee hee...
No Visitors
E-E-Excuse me! What sort of disease does he have?!
Kokkoro?!
You should take your leave for today.
I never saw any of that coming.
We've had nothing but trouble since we started this guild.
Hey, Koro-ster, we don't need you collapsing on us, too.
She's right, Kokkoro.
At a time like this, we should eat a good meal and replenish our energy!
Right.
I'll have the owner cook up his secret menu right away!
Wait. Just get us normal food.
But it would give us energy.
Karyl, you're such a selfish girl!
Don't try to get out of this by sounding cute!
Oh, Eriko, did you get out the drug made with mandrake?
It smelled so nice, I couldn't resist.
You shouldn't have. That stuff is poison.
I know. It knocked me out not long ago.
Don't touch things on the medicine shelf without permission.
Hee hee...
Ah, I wonder where my soulmate is at this very moment...
I know we will meet again.
It is our destiny, after all.
Hee hee hee hee...
Excuse me.
Would you care to have your fortune told?
It's free.
My father is quite eager to tell your fortune.
Welcome.
Now, then...
What a lovely knick-knack.
Hi, little lady! Care to have some tea with me?
I don't enjoy that sort of humor.
Father, your approach is a bit too direct.
S-S-Sorry! It was just a joke!
Shinobu, say something to her!
It's good for you to feel some pain now and then, Father.
Shinobu!
This was a waste of time. Goodbye.
W-W-W-Wait a second! I've read your fortune!
You're looking for your soulmate, right?
Soon! You'll see him soon!
Your soulmate will soon appear before you with a warm sigh!
I'll see him soon...
Hey, girlie! Let's drink! Come drink with me!
Not him.
Five seconds! Have tea with me for just five seconds!
Not him.
I finally found you! My Cinderella!
Not him.
As if any of you could be him.
He is my soulmate, no one else.
I failed to find him again today.
Hee hee hee...
I found you.
Morning.
Hiya!
Good morning, Miss Karyl.
I hope Yuuki is feeling better today.
I have my doubts. That doctor and nurse were a little too eccentric.
Why don't we go check on him after breakfast?
Okay.
He might already be out of bed and saying he's hungry!
Hee hee hee...
Come now, eat up.
Um... Can't.
Hee hee hee...
The secret ingredient is...
my... love... for... you.
Hurry! Hurry!
Just hang on! Why all the rush?
I just remembered a guild that's been talked about in this town!
Wh-What sort of guild?
W-Well...
Hey, you! Get out here!
What brings all of you out here at once?
Cut the crap!
You swiped the treasure we stole from that rich jerk!
You've got some nerve, stealing from us thieves!
Nanaka, do you know what this is about?
I have no interest in people from that side of town, so nope!
Don't play dumb!
We know that punk's here! Don't we?!
Yeah!
Such a ruckus this early in the morning.
My beloved can't rest in comfort with all this noise, you...
insects.
See?! She's right there!
Eriko, do you know these people?
Let's not fight.
We're friends, aren't we?
Like hell we are!
Have you got a screw loose?!
Enough talk! Get her!
I see...
I take it you are prepared, then?
Deadly Punish!
Th-That move... Is she...
What?! What about it?!
We're in trouble! She's—
Hee hee hee hee hee...
The Destroyer!
Destroyer
My turn!
Have a taste of this!
Nanaka Infinite Presto!
YOLO!
Is she... the Collector?!
Wow, what power!
Collector
I just learned that spell recently,
but I guess it worked pretty well?
You're causing a disturbance, you two.
D-Don't tell me she's...
Curse Bloom!
My... My body is...
It really is her! The One-Eyed Devil!
One-Eyed Devil
You're the members of Twilight Caravan!
Oh, you've heard of our guild?
Hmm... We could just leave them like this,
but they'd be a disturbance.
I wouldn't mind bringing them in for exams, though.
Twilight Caravan
Incidentally, without the proper treatment, you could die.
P-Please, heal me! Right now!
Me, too!
Fix me up, too!
Help me!
Oh, my. I'm going to have my hands full...
Twilight Caravan
with all these new guinea pigs.
PriConne
Let's go save him!
Yeah. This place is bad news.
Now that we have a plan, let's carry it out right away!
Operation: Rescue Yuuki!
Nanaka, I need morphine over here!
Wrap green onions around that kraken!
Righto! You got it!
I'm so glad I get to try the new drug I've been saving.
It looks like we can make this work.
My lord, I'm coming to save—
Hee hee hee...
I was so scared when those strange people rushed us.
The most dangerous-looking one is right there!
Oh, yes. I received something nice from my friends, who stopped by earlier.
I'm sure you'll love it.
See?
A cursed engagement ring.
They say couples that exchange this ring are blessed by its curse,
allowing them to stay together forever and ever.
Eternally...
Wh-What do we do?! What do we do?!
His sickness is the least of our problems now!
I-If it's come to this...
Slow down, Koro-ster!
If we make too much noise, the doctor and her nurse will come running!
Yes, but...
Listen. You're the key.
Come...
Let us exchange our eternal vows.
Hee hee hee hee hee...
What stinks?
Great Lady Ameth, lend me your strength!
What could Mitsuki and Nanaka be doing?
Doctor! The patients are foaming at the mouth and dancing!
Okay, that's the expected reaction!
Relax! The wound isn't deep!
I suppose I have no choice.
You can stay here and rest.
Yuuki!
You're okay, right?!
Let's go now, while we can!
This is it.
What is that?
Do you think Kokkoro got away safely?
Don't worry. Koro-ster can do a lot when she puts her mind to it.
Nanaka, there's a drug I'd like to try. Keep an eye on things here.
Righto! You got it!
Experiments...
Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
We have to go back up for now!
Someone's up there, too?!
We're out of options!
If we're caught now, no excuse is going to work!
What can we...
Ah, so much to do, so much to do!
Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
I-It suddenly hurts so much!
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Oh, dear!
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
What is it? Does your stomach hurt?
Let me see.
That's it. You can lean on the wall.
Ow, ow...
My lord!
Now, to continue where I left off with my love...
Are you all right?!
Karyl!
Let's see...
Can you tell me where it hurts?
Oh, young people have such tender skin!
What about here?
Does it hurt here? Or here?
Oh?
A new patient?
That's right!
We so rarely have young girls as patients here!
I'm so excited!
Oh! I'm better! I'm all better!
It doesn't hurt now... Hey, wait!
Doctor, the pain is all gone now!
Where are you taking me? Wait... Wait!
No!
Oh, my... This is...
Just get some rest, and you'll be fine in a few days.
Look.
See this little rash here?
The symptoms resemble those of a cold, so it's often misdiagnosed,
but this has already been treated. And remarkably well!
Where did you go to have this examined?
A-Actually, we took him to Doctor Mitsuki.
Ah, I see.
That one is a bit... eccentric.
But her skills are the real deal, so you don't need to worry.
W-Well, a lot has happened,
but I guess we don't need to worry about you being sick.
I'm glad.
I was... almost cursed.
From what that doctor said,
everyone who goes to Doctor Mitsuki's clinic
feels 30% better when they leave.
So tomorrow, when Karyl leaves feeling 30% better,
let's go and bring her home.
Watch again next time!
