My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C122

Episode 122 Ankyrium Potion Master

"Thank you. Please take good care of me."

After saying that, Menahem puts a medicine he took from his pocket into a device he doesn't understand. Suddenly, the dimly lit store became slightly brighter. 

This also seems to be a lighting magic tool that uses some kind of magic potion. 

"It's amazing"

“We also make a variety of original medicines.”

Menahem looked proud as Nolte rolled his eyes. 

"If there's anything else you're curious about, please take a look. I can eat something, or better yet, drink... Hey, Martha."

Menahem tries to go inside without interacting with the customers. 

"Oops"

However, my feet are unsteady. Also, I was so short of breath that I was dizzy. 

"What's wrong with that guy?"

Nolte is worried. 

Menahem is clutching his chest in pain. Well, that's the first thing. 

Besides, I feel like I've seen something similar somewhere. 

A long time ago, one of the men my mother brought in had a similar body type, and he snored heavily, so I'm sure he had a heart condition... 

At that time, footsteps approached from the back. 

"What's wrong with you? Is your chest hurting again?"

A thin woman who looked like a wife called Martha ran up to Menachem and shook her body. 

"Oh, wait a minute. Maybe you should stop shaking me..."

"Huh? Oh, customer? I'm sorry."

I didn't answer that, just looked at Menahem and knelt down beside him. 

　

"Hey, isn't your heartbeat suddenly pounding?"

"Ah?...H-how did you know?"

I replied in pain, but for the time being I laid it down on my side. 

“Lucien, I ask for a great healing.”

"I got it"

For now, the current dangerous situation will calm down. 

I'm just a ronin who failed the entrance exam, and of course I don't have any medical knowledge yet. But my mother, though a bastard, was a nurse. What did you say to the man at that time? Remember... 

"You're sleepy during the day, and sometimes you just doze off before you know it, right?"

"...Oh, well, it's been especially true lately, how do you know?"

"Sure, you fell asleep earlier, Shiro, do you know anything?"

Both Lucien and Lina were looking at me seriously. 

"Well, I don't really know if the same disease exists in this world."

I speak carefully while tracing my memory. 

"It seems like in the world I came from, it was one of the diseases that fat people were more prone to..."

"What kind of disease is it? Can it be cured?"

Menahem's wife follows him seriously. 

"Well, if you're overweight, especially if you have a lot of meat around your neck, the air passage in your throat becomes narrower, and when you sleep on your back, your tongue sinks into the back of your throat and you can't breathe. It seems like something is going on.”

If I remember correctly, my mother said something like "sleep apnea syndrome."

It's probably just something I heard a doctor explain at work. 

``Then, my breathing stopped, and I unconsciously tried desperately to breathe, and when the air passed through me, I snored really loudly, but because I kept doing this over and over again, I was always sleep deprived, and ended up dozing off during the day.''・”

"You're right, this person has been stopping breathing in the middle of the night lately, and he's been snoring in a really painful way."

"No way, that's..."

"I don't know what happens when I'm sleeping."

"But why does that make my chest hurt?"

It hurts when you ask me that. Why? Could it have something to do with arteriosclerosis? 

``I'm sorry, I don't really remember the logic, but I think that people with this disease have poor blood flow, which puts a strain on their hearts, so their heart is pounding, and their chest and head hurt. I remember hearing that it can be painful... 

This disease wasn't just lack of sleep, it could have caused arrhythmia or something serious that could have led to death. 

"What should I do? Please tell me."

Menahem says in a hoarse voice as if clinging to him. 

"Well, I guess there's no special equipment for treatment...that's right."

　I just remembered. 

"When you sleep, instead of sleeping on your back, it's easier to breathe if you sleep on your side."

"Ah, it's definitely easier to breathe this way..."

"But this won't fundamentally get better, and if you want to fix it..."

"Can it be cured? What should I do?"

"Tell me, I'm not going to collapse until I see Magdalea's face, I'll do anything."

"Well...I guess the most important thing is to lose weight."

"'Eh!'"

"..."

"..."

Even if people look at me like that, I'm not a doctor. Even doctors wouldn't be able to provide treatment if they didn't have proper medical equipment... 

"You know, it's a disease where there's meat in your throat that makes it narrow, so unless you lose weight it won't change. Oh, and if you're drinking alcohol, I'm sure alcohol is bad too."

"You're telling me to stop drinking? My greatest pleasure..."

"So, even if you've been drinking too much lately, it won't save your life..."

“There are various recovery medicines out there, so just a little bit is fine.”

"..."

It's not just a doctor's poor regimen, it's a pharmacist's poor regimen. 

In the end, I couldn't give much advice based on my vague knowledge, but since magic medicine can't fundamentally cure the illness, we decided that my husband and I would do our best to manage the old man's health. 

Menahem, or rather his wife, wanted to thank everyone and gave them all rings with simple designs. 

The shape is irregular and it looks like it was handmade, but according to Menahem, it seems like it was created through trial and error in order to add various magical effects. 

"In addition to increasing your defense against magic attacks, I think it also has an effect that makes it easier to recover your MP, but the effects aren't stable yet. The recipe is a secret."

Well, it's good manners for adventurers to not ask each other about their skills, and since this is a business, it's only natural that they can't reveal their skills. 

In addition to "Medicine Generation (LV7)," Menahem also seems to have skills such as "Crafts (LV4)" and "Blacksmithing (LV2)," so it seems like he has a variety of skills. 

When I looked at the ring with my "Appraisal (Intermediate)" skill,

<Magic Ring: Magic defense power increase (slight) MP recovery (slight)? ＞

What was displayed? What does "?" mean? Is it because I can't figure it out with my skills, or does the effect change in the first place? Well, it seems like Menahem doesn't know either. 

When I appraised Carmilla's with a slightly different design, this one

<Magic Ring: Magic Defense Increase (Small)? ＞

That's a slightly different appraisal result than mine. Well, Carmilla doesn't use magic, so it would be fine if her defense power increased even without MP recovery. 

When I told him that we were going to Parthea with a merchant caravan, I told him that a girl named Magdalea had left to study abroad in Partepolis and hadn't come back, so if I ever met her, I should come back as soon as possible. I was told that I would like it. 

I heard that he was safe because he only received letters a few times. 

"My father is not feeling well, so please hurry while he's still alive..."

"Don't say things that aren't even good luck! But I really want to see his face again while he's still healthy."

In the vast Parthean Empire, I think the chances of running into a woman you've never met before are extremely close to zero...but if we do, we'll definitely let her know, we replied. 

That night, we stayed at an ordinary inn for the first time in Ankyrium. 

All of the inns were crowded, but luckily there was one room with four people available. 

At night, we ate seafood recommended by the inn, and after sunset, we watched the night view of the port from a small hill. 

It was a tough three days, but I was able to enjoy my trip to a foreign country, and everyone is doing well, so I'm okay with this. And the journey continues.
