ASDP Chapter 6

After I entrusted the material to my father, I changed my clothes in my room and started writing the Saint’s Decline Plan.

Goal: “make the Saints decline and turn them into a profession”.
Method: “Establishment of a way to purify maga even if you are not a saint”.

Humans can’t live if the amount of maga increases. That’s why you shouldn’t think in the direction of erasing the saints. That’s why the saints have their power as saints, but other than that, it is necessary to come up with a way to purify the maga. If it can be purified even if it is not by a saint, the value of the saint will decrease. The easier the purification becomes, the more the position of the saints will decrease. However, as long as there are saints, they can purify it by themself, so it should be fine to make it a profession. It’s best if it’s convenient, and if the person wants to do a different job, it’s better to be able to accept that as well.
If the value falls to that extent, there should be no more stupid wishes that will be granted endlessly just because it’s for a saint.

“The question is, how to purify it.”
I’ve seen people purifying before.
The maga looks like a black hole that does not allow light to pass through, and changes occur in the vegetation as if drawing a circle around it. Demonization causes changes when you touch this black hole or spend time nearby. The closer the vegetation is to the maga, the greater the transformation is, and those that can’t withstand the transformation wither.
It’s strange that when purification is done, plants return to their original state, but animals that have completely transformed cannot return to normal. It is not yet known whether all the plants return or if some will wither. There are annual plants and perennials, and trees that have lived longer than humans, so there are too many different types to lump them all together, so no conclusions can be drawn without specialized research.

What we know is that both transformed plants and animals have high magical power. It is natural to take in mana in the air and have magical power in both animals and plants, but the amount is obviously high. That’s why they are required as materials for various drugs.
“Is demonization perhaps an abnormality of the magical power manufacturing organ?”
Magic is generated from mana by the magic manufacturing organ in the center of the body. If you have a lot of magic, it means that a lot has been manufactured.
In order to start producing abnormal magical power, there is a possibility that changes are occurring to adapt the body’s tissues to a high concentration of magical power.
And the state in which this manufacturing organ has been irreversibly altered may be what makes it a monster. …I’d like to check it once, but it would be convenient to have patients with symptoms of demonization.
“There is.”
There is.
I just saved them today.

And I left them at my grandfather’s clinic.
I rushed out of the room in a hurry to check even a little before my grandfather treats the two of them.
“Dad. I’m going to my grandfather’s place.”
“Ah. Be careful.”
I went down the stairs with the sound of footsteps, and I went back the way I came earlier.
It’s bad, it’s bad. Why didn’t I notice that there was such a precious sample?
When I went down the mountain, I strengthened my body, so if I do it any more, there is no doubt that muscle pain will occur, but I will strengthen my legs regardless.
Muscle pain can be cured. But there’s not much chance to safely see people who are about to become monsters.

“Grandpa!!”
When I open the door of the clinic, the grandparents, who are using the clinic as a hangout spot, look at me as if wondering what was going on.
And in response to my voice, an old man in a white coat, my grandfather, came out of the examination room in the back.
“Amelia, I always tell you to be quiet at the clinic, right?”
“Eh. Everyone is noisy, drinking tea and having meetings as well.”
I think there’s no doubt that it’s better to be quiet, but I think people other than me are noisy enough.
“This is our way of staying healthy.”
“Yes, yes. If an epidemic spreads, I’ll be quiet at home.”
“Even if your heart stops, you can rest assured that Harry will always take care of you here.”
“It’s better than collapsing at home alone.”
I don’t feel like I can compete with the elderly people who have no sense of guilt and are laughing so hard.

When my grandfather really wants them to leave, he tells them, and they follow suit, and when they need help, they help him, even though they say he’s rough with people.
By providing a place, they are building a relationship with each other, so I’m not going to say anything about it.
“Amelia, what on earth are you doing in such a hurry?”
“The two people I brought a while ago that were close to demonization. Have you already treated them?”
“The treatment has started, but the treatment of demonization has been postponed for a while. Mushrooms are growing, so we need to deal with it for a few days, and anyway, we need to heal the injuries first. During demonization, the body is damaged to some extent. They can move without any problems, and become much stronger than a human. Although the bleeding was stopped with magic, it doesn’t mean the injury has healed or the blood has returned. Their bodies will repair faster if they are close to demonization. I’m planning on keeping them like this for three days and then starting treatment to remove the demonization.”
It’s true that monsters can’t be defeated easily because monsters are resistant to pain and damage. They had a big hole in their backs. As my grandfather said, if they suddenly return to being human, they might die from the shock of pain.

“That’s fine, but the priest has started feeling the urge to plant mushrooms, is that okay?”
“If he was infected today, he’s just a person who’s easy to follow instructions. I’ll leave him at a tree where it’s easy to plant mushrooms. There’s no problem if it’s two or three days. In some cases, if you can just tie them up hugging a tree, they will be happy. They just think they’ve become a mushroom. In some cases, it may make them feel better even if you cut their hair like a mushroom.”
…It’s a picture that seems like they will go crazy when they come to their senses. Moreover, even if they come to their senses, the hair doesn’t grow back right away.
It’s may be difficult for him when he comes to his senses, but Theo, who will be watching the treatment next to him and who is also infected by the mushroom, will be affected mentally. But I think it’s probably better than dying or turning into a monster.

“So you came in a hurry to tell the symptoms of the mushrooms?”
“No. Actually, if there is a person who is about to become a monster, I wanted to observe them once. If you turn into a monster, your magical power will be higher, right? I thought maybe the magical production organ in the chest is enlarged.”
“I see. That’s possible. It is said that the reason why people who have become demonized are resistant to pain and damage is because they are unconsciously physically strengthened. Physical strengthening uses magic. In other words, it’s increasing so much that you can always use it unconsciously.”
My grandfather affirmed my hypothesis, so I wanted to investigate it even more.
I don’t know if it will help to purify the maga, but we should start by knowing first.

“However, do it after the patient is convinced. This is a clinic, not a laboratory. If the patient’s mind becomes weak, it will also affect the treatment.”
“Yeeessss.”
“Don’t stretch it.”
“Yes!”
I straighten my posture and then head to the treatment room.
However, only four people can be hospitalized in a large room in this clinic. Because when something happens to the villagers, my grandfather visits the house and treats them there. He only uses this place when it’s an outsider and he has to take care of them.

“Excuse me.”
When I opened the door connected to the examination room, two of the four beds were full. No one is using the other two now.
“Mr. Theo, are you awake?”
“Ah. Are you… um, Amelia?”
“That’s right. Thank you for earlier.”
“Is that what you looked like?”
Thinking about what was being said, I remember that I met him in a state where he couldn’t see my face with a mask and goggles on at all. It looked suspicious, but I’m glad Theo calmed down and listened to me.

“You have beautiful purple eyes.”
“Thank you very much. I helped Theo and the others right away, didn’t I? That’s why I want a reward.”
My purple eyes shine brightly.
On the other hand, Theo hung his head. Still, he seems to think that he is in a weaker position, and he has a mysterious face.
“That’s right. It’s true that you saved our lives. That’s why I know I should pay, but I don’t have much with me now. If I go back to the royal capital, I can give it to a certain extent, but…”
“No, I don’t want money.”
I put my hand in front of Theo.
I’m not the kind of woman who would ask for money just because I helped them. Still, it’s a precious opening, so I’ll make sure to use it properly.
“Mr. Theo, please. As a reward for me, please take off your clothes and show me your body right now-”
“This stupid girl!!”
The moment I tried to ask for it bluntly, the back of my head was hit with a bundle of paper my grandfather was holding.

Amelia, you sound like a pervert. You have to explain things first before asking the other party to strip!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
