The Book I Wrote Became the Bible

4 – Healing the Sick

-Luke went up with his father to Calandra and brewed herbs he got from the surroundings to cure the Red Death. He made medicine so that all people would not be afraid of the Red Death. Luke visited Arachne with the medicine, and everyone he met was amazed at his wisdom and answers. Among them, Lydia (Scala in the old version), the daughter of the guild leader Hugh Breece, recognized that he was a great person with just one glance.

New Testament Gospel of Lydia (old Gospel of Scala) Chapter 2 Verse 1 ~ 4

Knock Knock

“Guild leader. A guest has come.”

A guest? There must be no guests scheduled to visit today.

Right now, the empire’s Harvest Festival called Kaland is in an uproar.

Who came to me at a time like this?

Is that a ‘direct line’ to meet the guild leader?

“A guest? Who are you?”

The direct line is a special route known only to high-ranking officials who can meet alone.

It is a method that can only be used by high-ranking nobles.

Among the high-ranking aristocrats, he is someone who would come to me at a time like this. Who is it?

If they valued face, they would have sent me a message. Is it urgent enough that you came without even sending such a message?

Surprisingly, the guest brought by the guild member…… It was a little boy.

A direct line to me…… A small child used it?

The clothes you wear and the atmosphere that looks noble. Even clean skin that looks like it has been managed there.

Although he certainly looked like an aristocratic child… No aristocrat would tell a child of such a secret line.

The child entered my room and he looked around the room.

That look is just a normal, curious child.

“Welcome to Arachne. I am Arachne’s guild leader, Scala Arachne. What did you come for?”

When the guild members left and I was left alone in the room, the child brought up his words.

“Hello Scala. Should I say Lydia? Lydia Hubris.”

!!!!

This child. How come my original name! Even the castle of the family that disappeared there!

No one in the Empire knows my original name anymore except for Io!

“Don’t be too surprised, Lydia. I have no intention of telling others about your true identity. I came here because I want to be friends with you.”

“Friends…… Say?”

You want to be friends with me? A kid who looks less than 10 years old?

“So I brought you a present that will make you really happy.”

Then the child wiggled her fern-like fingers and pulled out a glass bottle from her bosom.

“With a fantastic medicine that can cure the Red Death.”

“Me, Red Death?”

Red Death.

I only have one family member left, and my precious younger sister Io is suffering from an incurable disease.

It is a heinous disease in which the extremities of the body gradually turn red and eventually lead to death.

It’s a disease that no God-blessed priests or saints have been able to find a cure for, so what is the cure?

There can be no cure for the Red Death….

How do you know I need a cure for Red Death in the first place?

Even my closest aides don’t know anything about Io!

“Certainly hard to believe. Until now, no one had succeeded in making a cure for the Red Death. But this drug can really cure someone with Red Death. I’ll give this to you. For reference, the amount is two tablespoons. And this book too.”

He took a book out of his arms and set it down on the table.

“I’ll come back in a week. At that time, if you like my present, can you make friends with me? Oh. I am Luke Persleyno.”

After saying that, he left the room.

It was a really stormy visit.

Pulse Rayno?

The sword of the empire that protects the north?

Not only do I know my original name, but I also know Io.

But what I want is to be friends.

What the hell are you doing?

I need to investigate that child first….

I caught my eye on the medicine bottle that the child had left on the desk.

And this drug.

…… Can you believe

A drug I don’t even know what it is….

You said the amount is two tablespoons, right?

For now, let’s get another person suffering from red death disease and feed them.

It’s not possible, but what if.

If there is an improvement in the disease, try feeding Io as well.

The book he left behind.

I wanted to know the identity of him, so I opened the book.

[Things to read if you live on the continent] – Old Testament, Volume 1.

When I read the first chapter of the book, I could see that it was describing a certain divine being.

Why did you leave the Bible here?

A look that seems to know everything. And the love in the eyes that was secretly buried.

He had a strange liking for me even though it was obviously the first time he was seeing me.

As if you knew me.

There was a word that passed through my head at that moment.

Yes, God’s Avatar.

It is a story that has only been heard in mythology, but it is said that God descends to the Middle Earth by creating an incarnate body called ‘Avatar’. Although they descend for various reasons such as play, strengthening of divinity, and sacrifice for the creatures, they generally appear mature even at a young age because they descend in the body of a child.

If.

If he is a god who descended to earth like those in the myths.

And if you came to this place to save Io.

Then maybe this drug can save Io.

…… Under.

Me too.

What are you thinking?

Avatar? God descended to earth?

There’s no way such a thing exists.

… Did the word that Io could be saved clouded my judgment?

It’s unlikely.

If this drug saves Io, even if it’s just one thing, I’ll give you everything.

So please…….

__

… I didn’t mean to come here to say that.

I tried to embrace her by increasing her mystery and inducing friendly relations with her through the information she already knew about her, but without realizing it, she said that she wanted to be her friend.

Her The moment I met her, I remembered her in her [Deus Ex Machina], So I unknowingly told her something different from her original plan.

And I foolishly left my books behind.

Oh, you idiot.

You will continue to meet the characters of [Deus Ex Machina], So will you continue to act stupid like this?

Scalar Arachne.

Everyone knows that, but her real name is Lydia Hubris.

It’s probably a name that only I know in this world at this point.

She was neither a main character nor a playable character, but she was someone I really liked.

A woman who lost everything in childhood but built everything from the ground up with her love for her brother and her natural gift.

A woman who tragically lost her only family member to an enemy soldier and invented a cure for the enemy soldier after that.

She is a woman who helped the main character’s group against the army of chaos that spread it out of hostility towards the enemy soldiers.

…… And she is a woman who fought bravely to save the main character’s group against the forces of chaos.

Lydia’s life is such a sad story that one cannot watch it without tears.

If the existence of her god manipulated her life, I wondered if it was deliberately done with her resentment toward her.

Because of that, he was a character with deep affection for me who loved [Deus Ex Machina], And it was difficult to control my emotions when I faced him.

The moment she met her, I forgot her words and uttered gibberish without even realizing it.

… Anyway what is it

Do you want to be friends?

I don’t think it’s completely strange.

…… I was thinking of embracing her by pretending that my father would let me run her errands, but that way I wouldn’t think of her as her own weird kid.

… That cure. I want to use it on Io. Isn’t it just throwing it away because it’s too suspicious?

If I just use it, Io will be healed and she will definitely be on my side, but it’s true that she only showed a very suspicious side.

A week later, I visited Lydia with her nervous heart.

Then.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Luke. Please come inside.”

Lydia, famous for her secrecy, was waiting for me outside the building.

Then, she led me directly to the drawing room.

“Have you tried the medicine?”

“Yes. …… It was a drug with incredible performance that I couldn’t believe even when I saw it with my eyes. I never thought it would be possible to cure the Red Death.”

“I’m glad. If so, can I hear the answer from last time?”

I foolishly said I wanted to be friends with you, but that would be fine. Wouldn’t it be a problem to publish a book even if they became friends?

Then Lydia knelt down in front of me.

…… Huh?

“Girl Lydia Hubris. I swear to serve Luke-sama, no, Deus-sama.”

Yes?

“I thought all the gods had abandoned us until now. They are the ones who fail no matter what they do…. But Deus-sama was different. Rather, he saved us. The only one who saved our sisters. From now on, I will follow Deus-sama.”

Deus? Me?

No, what the hell are you talking about?

How does Lydia know Deus…… Oh, she wrote about Deus in that book.

Is that why you mistook me for Deus?

“…… Maybe not I thought Luke-sama was the incarnation of Deus-sama.”

Uh… I’ve never even met Deus.

I’ve seen it a few times in game.

In the first place, he is a character who rarely appears in [Deus Ex Machina], But how do I know him?

There, I am a 100% pure human being.

Ah… Where should I begin to explain this?

It’s no wonder that everything got messed up in our first meeting.

While I was silent, Lydia was gradually losing her temper.

Although it’s not true… I don’t want to make Lydia sad.

“…… Okay. That’s true. I hope you figure it out.”

“I see! After all, Luke-sama!”

She was overjoyed.

Oh, another mistake.

If lies keep piling up, it will be difficult to resolve them later.

…… Oh i don’t know now
