84 Seven Nights Fever

* Note: There is a pathological explanation.

Seven nights fever.

Called a national collapse, one of the feared plagues.

I remember hearing that the town with confirmed onset burns down the whole thing to stop the infection.

So maybe.... and Dr. Gamma's hometown.

Dr. Gama quietly closed his eyes and leaned down.

Shut up and watch your shoulders tremble.

"... yet. Though it is still too early to say so. As far as you guys are concerned, it's very likely that..."

"Seven nights fever.... Seven Nights Fever is in the Holy Capital.... No way."

I can see Mr. Anessa's voice trembling, too.

The brave man asked the two of them who had shut up.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have much to learn. Well, what kind of plague is a seven night fever? I can imagine it's a hell of a plague based on how it goes..., is it pretty bad?

Neither do I. I don't know the details.

Rumor tells me it's a terrible plague...

Sensei Gama looks up and sees the brave man, stroking and rubbing his cheeks and thinking for a while. And I opened my mouth strictly.

"Seven nights of fever is a nightmarish diarrhea in which an extremely small pathogen enters and breaks into your body. It spreads quickly with stupid infectiousness and instantly piles up a pile of corpses."

There is anger in the hateful tone.

I feel deep resentment like I've been stacked.

Mr. Anessa nodded one cockle.

"Details about the symptoms of seven-night fever are actually not very well known. One of the reasons is that once the outbreak is confirmed, the town will be sealed off and burned down after the end of its breath..."

"The factor is also in the extremely high lethality rate. There's nobody left. In my opinion, the lethality rate is over 90%."

"Ninety percent... What the hell. Almost didn't help."

"If you help me, my family, my house, I'll lose even the town I lived in. Even if he survived...... No, nothing."

For a moment, saying something, Dr. Gama pressed silence.

Seeing what lies ahead of the word, the place also quiets.

Dr. Gama kept his mouth shut and took four keys out of his desk drawer. I think it is used in the dispensing of medicine.

Take out one of them and place it on the low table at your feet.

"First you have to know. It's a story. I'm sorry for my loss, but I'll tell you what I know so far."

"... Doctor, what is this key?

One nod to Ms Anessa's question, and Dr. Gama pointed to the key placed.

"Seven nights of fever, from infection to death, is approximate, but breaks up in four stages. First of all, that first stage. It's latency."

"latency, …?

"Oh. Infection with the pathogen of seven-night fever doesn't immediately cause that symptom. Mostly, there is a latency period of about five days to a week.... this is one of their terrible places."

"Yep. Even if I get infected, I don't realize it, but... it expands my scope of action, because?

"That's right. You're quick to understand."

Praised.

U-shi. Eh.

"The symptoms just didn't show up on the table, and I'm definitely infected at this point. They definitely lurk in their bodies and keep increasing their numbers. Quiet, just secretly."

"Doctor, is it possible to confirm the infection at that stage?

"It's possible.... Well, depending on the extent. I have a test drug for it. I made it. They prefer certain nutrients. Drop the spit of the suspected infection and you'll see if they're in the spit."

Now... I said I made it.

Is that easy to make?

Dr. Gama,... what kind of person is he?

"I don't even feel comfortable knowing if I'm infected. And after the latency, we move on to the onset."

Take out the second spoon and arrange it next to the first.

"The main symptoms are slight fever, coughing, and physical tiredness. Sometimes my white eyes are slightly congested. I often have abdominal pain in particular, and I feel nauseous or even start lowering my stomach."

"… something like an epidemic cold."

"The visible symptoms are exactly a cold. Most guys assume it'll heal in a couple of days, and they don't bother trying to tell anyone about it. But by this time, they were already hungry, and they just kept growing. It's like nobody's gonna notice."

Separate words and take the bottle on your desk.

It's the medicine that saved Dr. Gamma's life.

Dr. Gama placed the bottle next to the second spoon.

"And unfortunately, it wasn't until this stage that Liquorice's bulbs worked most effectively."

"... isn't it early? You still have the same symptoms as a mild cold, don't you think?

"It doesn't look like it. I heard the prescription from you and I'm sure. Pathogens of seven-night fever are vulnerable to the poison contained in liquorice. I think it's still possible to kill them with Licorice poison before it grows."

"Taking this stage,... past?

Dr. Gamma takes out the third key.

"It's high fever. Here they suddenly strip their fangs. Until then, they were grown up to hide and dive, and here they grow up so fast, they explode and increase their numbers. The body develops high fever and repeats severe vomiting and severe diarrhea. From this time on, diarrhea and excrement will also be mixed with cloudy objects.... At this point, Liquorice's effects are visibly lower. I guess it's better to grow faster than to kill them."

"Because it's ineffective, it's not..."

When I asked him again, Dr. Gama gave me back the nod of affirmation.

"I don't think it's working. However, when it reaches this stage, the speed of growth deviates from the normal orbit. It is also this time of year that the infection spreads explosively. When one patient has high fever, the infection spreads quickly. That's the first time I've noticed that this isn't just a cold, Seven Nights Fever. … but"

"... when I realized it was too late."

Even to the grunt of the brave, Dr. Gama nods.

"You should see a significant number of latent, onset patients at the time of one high-fever patient's exit. Pathogens that have reached high fever are more dangerous than those in latency and onset. More activated. Patients infected from patients with high fever have a shorter latency, onset period than those who do not.... you can almost say there isn't. From the way patients spread after high fever is confirmed, we can only assume that they do so."

...... sorry. I'm getting scared of something.

Gently hold Lean Shade's hand standing next to him.

"I just said the lethality rate is 90%, but that's until this high fever. As the phase progresses, the lethality rate jumps. But with extraordinary health, very rarely, some people survive this period of high fever.... I'm one of them."

Dr. Gamma takes the last key.

"But the last debilitating period to visit. No one survived who got here. Not even one of them."

Cotton, I left my last spoon.

"After five days of high fever, the fever suddenly pulls off like a lie.... Of course, you didn't beat the disease. This is where the countdown of death begins."

"Countdown, is it"

"It's been three days. After a high fever, it leads to death after seven nights. This is what they call a seven-night fever. The fever draws, but vomiting and intense diarrhea continue further. By this time, my stomach will be full of pathogens. The only thing that spits out is like cloudy juice. The patient complained of severe chills, in a hazy consciousness, eventually, … leading to death"

There is strength in the hand you hold.

"This is Seven Nights Fever."

Lean Shade also gave me a gentle grip back.

This is the seven-night fever.

This is...

"This is what spreads to this holy capital..."

The brave man confirms with a blue face.

"... Again, that's not what I assure you. But from my experience, it's highly likely that it is.... That's just what I'm saying"

"But to other illnesses,... we don't hit it"

Anessa answers by biting her lips.

"No matter how much you flip past literature, there are no cases where these prescriptions apply. I couldn't find anything."

"Suppose the fever spreads seven nights. 90% of the population in the Holy Capital is about 800,000,... how many people die?

"More than half a million people are sure. If seven-night fever were to spread, the Holy City would be the largest city ever. There must be no doubt that the number of victims will be unprecedented..."

Overwhelmed by the number of predicted victims.

500,000 people?... 500,000 people, die.

……

But I think that's why now.

We can still make it.

"But it's not like the fever's still spreading seven nights."

"... right. It didn't happen yet."

Dr. Gamma took my words so forcefully that I ran out clearly.

"How much respite has there been since the advent of that plague god until disaster strikes?

"Mostly, it felt like a week to 10 days"

"It was only a week before the plague God appeared. I can't afford to do that in time, but whether it's latent or high fever changes the disaster."

A week, he shrugged, and Mr. Anessa's expression clouds.

"... have we wasted our time?

"Anessa! If you're not thinking about coming down, I'll knock you down. It wasn't a waste of time."

"Time Required......"

"This past week, when you guys have been desperate, I've looked into it, and I know there's nothing else that applies. Who would believe a seven-night fever in a flight like this? It's only with that week that there's credibility in the possibilities of a barbaric maniac."

"… sir.... but"

Dr. Gama looks directly in front of Mr. Anessa, who leans over.

"Even though I said I needed it, I don't have time for any more motoring. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm not lying to you, so think about what you can do right now. Fine!"

"... Yes"

"I can't get back to you! Strengthen your belly, Anessa!

"Ha!"

"Ok!"

Dr. Gamma laughed invincibly, admitting that Mr. Anessa looked up all the time. And keep moving your gaze toward us.

"I need a favor from you guys."

"What is it? Altered."

Dr. Gamma crouched in there, hands on the floor.

"If I can get this medicine, I want you to sell it to me in bulk. I don't care who's got enough money in this old town to buy that pill. So let me buy them all."

"... Gama, Doctor?

suddenly asked me to come in on the good strong side of wanting.

You seem to be asking me to do something...

Why are you here with me?

"I live like this, but I have a lot of storage.... It's not enough. I'll pay for it. So you're right."

"Ah, hey. Gamma first!?

Stop rushing to rub your head against the floor.

How did you get there, no, I know.

That's for the Lord and the Virgin to decide, isn't it?

"Relieved Dr. Gamma. Mr. Lephia will surely ask the Lord and the Virgin to do so."

"Hey, brave......, dear? Well, of course I do."

No, that would be a favor from me, too, and if I were a law lord or a Virgin, I don't think you'd have to ask me to do something about it.

When asked again this way, I feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"... what? I'd like to ask Dr. Gamma more than that. I want the teacher to come to the temple."

"I'm in the temple..."

"Dr. Gama is an experienced seven-night fever when it has been prevalent in the past. Let me rely on that knowledge and experience. Please."

"But I... I'm the one who couldn't do anything. Where I went to the temple."

"... you're not"

That's not true.

Squeeze gently before Dr. Gama, weakly entrenched in the courageous plea. I held up my face facing the floor with both hands and looked at each other.

"Things were different then and now. In the past, when Dr. Gama noticed the seven-night fever, it had already spread. Different?

"... Sure, I did. By the time I realized it, I was gone."

"It hasn't started yet. No, maybe we already have an infected person, but now we can still make it. There are also medicines. This time, I have medicine to cure you."

Behind my weakly sinking eyes, I felt the light of strong will sway.

Dr. Gamma's mouth is tied tight.

"Someone's not going to do it. We, Dr. Gamma, everyone in this country right now, do what we can for ourselves. I have to do it. We don't have time for this, do we? That's what you said earlier."

A thick, thick flat palm can be layered gently.

Both hands were removed from Dr. Gamma's face and held back, as they were, strongly.... strong, strong.

……

Too strong. It hurts a little.

Doctor, my hand will crumble.

There is no reason to unravel it, so bear with it.

My hand is so sore to be gripped back hard.

"I'm sorry. Yeah, you're right."

The look on Dr. Gama's face turns into that of someone heading into battle.

"Master Brave, I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask for the opposite. Take me to the temple! I want to hang directly on the upper level of the temple!

"Thanks! That helps!

Dr. Gama stands up and shakes hands firmly with the brave.
