Chapter 5 - That's Medicine?
When it became night...
(It still hurts a bit...)
As I was sitting in a chair, my ankle was still a little red from the swelling.
(But, since Sakia took care of it quickly, it doesn't hurt a lot...)
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Sakia: MC... Is now okay...?
MC: Sakia? Yes, come in.
When Sakia opened the door, he brought over a small medicine jar to me.
MC: This is... The nighttime medicine that you mentioned?
Sakia: Yes... If you don't use it... You won't get better...
(W-What a poisonous looking color...)
When I saw the medicine's color inside the jar, I flinched without realizing it.
MC: B-But... I have gotten better...
Sakia: No... I'll prepare it now... Sit over there...
After saying that, Sakia grinned as he poured the medicine into a cup.
Sakia: Today... I told you...
MC: Eh...?
Sakia: My poison... will become medicine someday... When I was making this... I thought of all sorts of things... I really did...
MC: Sakia...?
When Sakia turned towards me, he smiled. As his eyes were hidden by his bangs, I sensed that they were making an eerie look...
Last Chapter - Dream Medicine
As I watched Sakia bringing the cup to me, the purple liquid made a bubbling sound.
Sakia: The dream medicine that I've been aiming for... It's finally... complete...
MC: Dream... medicine?
(Despite that he called it a dream, it has such an eerie color...)
Sakia: Now... Here you go...
MC: O-Okay...
Once I've readied myself, I endured the strong scent and drank Sakia's medicine in one go.
MC: ...!
(W-What a flavor...!)
Sakia: It's okay... Despite the really bad taste... I promise you... the effects...
MC: Ah...
(I wonder why, but my body feels lighter... The pain is going away... The effects are amazing, but...)
I suddenly felt sleepy and my consciousness was becoming dim...
Sakia: Sakia 2.0... I wonder if I should call it that...
After hearing those last words in my head, I passed out...
......
MC: Mm...
When the bright sunlight entered through the window, I woke up.
(Huh, I... Come to think of it, I drank the medicine that Sakia made.)
As my heavy body got up, I noticed that the pain in my ankle was gone.
(Sakia... I wonder where he went.)
After I checked his laboratory, I went out to the courtyard...
Sakia: Ah, MC...
I walked shakily towards Sakia.
MC: Sakia. Did you stay up all night researching again?
Sakia: Yeah... I must make some more progress with the medicine that I made for you yesterday...
After saying that softly, he looked at my ankle.
Sakia: ...It seems like your ankle is all right now.
MC: Yes, the pain is gone completely. Thank you.
When I said that...
Sakia: It's thanks to Sakia 2.0...
Sakia smiled proudly.
MC: S-Sakia 2.0...?
Sakia: Um... I used three really poisonous plants to make the medicine that you drank...
MC: Eh... Then, by poison...!?
Sakia: No... It's okay... I researched them properly... To make sure that I made the combinations right... You should be relieved that you drank it...
(Come to think of it, my body feels lighter than before and I'm feeling good...)
MC: True, even though it's a medicine made of poisonous plants... What an unbelievable effect...
Sakia: Also... The naming... Isn't it nice...?
(...What did he call it?)
MC: Um... Why did you call it 2.0?
Sakia: 2.0. is... a part of me... that's inside of you... It... saved you...
MC: ...Eh?
Sakia: I'm... inside... of you...
(Sakia, his cheeks are red... Is he embarrassed?)
Sakia: The medicine... I'm really glad that the effects went through.
MC: Y-Yeah. It's thanks to Sakia 2.0...
Sakia: ...
MC: Sakia?
Sakia: I... While I've been making poison this whole time... I've been researching... a special medicine... There really is... no such thing... of a special medicine that can beat poison... It's often said that... you have to beat poison with poison...
MC: The results of your research... Do they say that?
Sakia: Yes, fortunately... Thanks to you, I got to... demonstrate my theory...
MC: Eh...
Sakia: Also... I'm going to report these results to Father... The poison industry... It'd be nice if it can continue on...
While making some kind of relieved expression, Sakia happily smiled.
MC: S-Sakia...? Was I perhaps a test subject...?
Sakia: Test subject... No, you're Sakia 2.0's... first experiment...
(That's no different than being called a test subject...)
Even so, I couldn't say anything as Sakia was being happily restless.
Sakia: Producing poison, curing poison... That's the way... of the Kingdom of Poison. I must improve 2.0 more... To produce that part of me...
After saying that, he suddenly held both of my hands tightly.
Sakia: Of course... I have your cooperation, right? Fufu...
MC: M-Me...!?
Sakia: I can't do it without you... Stay with me... forever... I don't want to let you go...
MC: O-Okay...
I ended up saying that as Sakia made a bit of a scary smile.
Sakia: After this, my poison will be spread out all over the world... A part of me in the world... Fufufu.
(I wonder what's going to happen from here on...)
Despite Sakia's odd smile... It felt like he has become more positively active since the first time we've met...
