The results of peddling

This is a curse isn't it.

After hurrying back to the village, I got Raphtalia to see the healers about her burns that I had caused.

"Even so, this kind is quite strong.  The dragon corpse on the mountain had a curse that was this strong?"

"Eh... no... that is..."

Wondering how I was going to answer, I stammered.

"Yes. I made a mistake and was accidentally burned along with the dragon."

Raphtalia smiled while looking in my direction as if to say it was a secret.

"Can you do anything about it? If it's money, I'll pay whatever you need"

Raphtalia is a girl after all. If she has black marks like this, she would stand out which would be troublesome.

"It's not that it's impossible, but..."

During the preparation, the healers bring a bottle of transparent liquid to the room.

"It is quite powerful. It could heal her soon..."
"What is that?"
"It's holy water. To cure a curse, it's best to use holy power..."
"I see"

It seems injuries would be slow to heal due to the effect of the curse shield until fully  healed.

That is very dangerous.
There is no clear distinction between friend or foe, in addition there is a counter effect on allies. (Eh, I have no idea, maybe some MMO type thing?)
I can't even think about using it.

Also, after looking at the shield tree, the unsealing wasn't progressing at all.
It was only for a short time, but I cannot unseal that shield. I remember having that sort of hunch.

"Soak the holy water into the bandage..."

The healers apply the holy water soaked bandage to Raphtalia's blackened wounds.

"Sorry it's so simple for now. Please use powerful holy water made by the church in a large town if possible."

"How much will it heal?"

"To be honest... it's a fairly strong curse. Whether it can be truly cured... when it comes to the work of dragons..."

The truth is that I did it though. But to think the curse was so powerful it could be considered the work of a dragon...

"Oh right. How much more medicine will be needed?"

"This is all I can do for now. Saint-sama, please help the people who are suffering from the illness."
"Okay"

I left Raphtalia in the room with the Treatment master, and head to the building where they gather the sick.
As expected of medicine made by a professional.
The sickness that could not be cured with my treatment medicine, was easily cured by this.
I feel relieved looking at the sick people breathing calmly in their sleep.
......I want strength, but not from relying on that kind of shield.
saving someone from sickness is significant, but I still curse my weakness.
There may come a time where even Firo could get hurt, thankfully she was fine this time.
My head blanked in an instant when I thought she died.
I've thought this many times. This world is not a game.
Nobody will revive if they die.
I watch the graveyard behind the isolation facility deep in thought.
I was betrayed and swindled----But I want to protect the people who believed in me no matter what.
I returned to the Treatment room and spoke to Raphtalia who is wrapped in bandages.
