There was a request about almost an entire village’s worth of patients in need of treatment, so they’re going to need an extra set of healers. And not only that, they also needed help in getting rid of the cause of what plagued all these people in the first place.
There were several mutant plants that have spawned in the forest near their village that releases toxic fumes, poisoning the air and thus affecting the neighboring village. It might even spread further if not dealt with as soon as possible.
Villagers need of healing, mutants in need of exterminating, and a whole forest that needs to be dispelled of poison…That’s a lot of work in a single quest.
Hajime — a young white mage—would have no trouble dealing with the healing and purifying parts of the job, but he’s not exactly the most skilled combatant to be exterminating any monsters.
That’s why accompanying him was Tsukasa. Not only was he more adept in combat compared to Hajime, but he too uses a bit of white magic up his sleeves. They’re a small team, but hopefully their skills combined would be enough to get the job done.
The two of them arrive at the forest opening. They’re going to start with the root cause of the problem: The extermination of those toxic mutant plants. Before they enter, the teal-haired male starts to rummage inside of his satchel, pulling out a small bottle containing some pills. He pops out two of those pills in his hand and gives one to his partner.
“Here, Tsukasa. You should take this first.” He told him. “It’s a special medicine that I bought that can keep you immune to ailments for some amount of time, it should keep us safe from getting infected from the poison. But if you still start to feel unwell, be sure to tell me okay? I brought a bunch of potions and elixirs with me just in case”
