Panacea.
Kamijou did not know what that meant or even what language it was in.
“That is one of the few goals held by the old-style Rosicrucian magic cabal. It generally
refers to an all-purpose medicine. While I thought about it, I started thinking that might
be the role of your right hand.”
“My hand is...a medicine?”
That was not what he had heard before.
Aleister and others had talked about Imagine Breaker like a ruler or a reference point that
could never be distorted. It seemed wrong to suddenly start saying it was something you
rubbed on a wound or swallowed.
But Othinus had more to say.
“Who ever said it was a medicine for human use?”
“?”
“The macro universe and the micro human body are mutually linked. That is a common
understanding between the Golden and the Rosen. ...So to use a broader interpretation,
creating a medicine that works on humans would also be able to heal the world. Human,
that is the kind of all-purpose medicine I am talking about. It can either gently heal the
bad parts of the world or it can coldly cut them away.”
It could purify.
Or it could slay.
“That wonder drug can also describe the Rosicrucian experts. If it is necessary to heal the
world, they will shatter their glass coffin and travel the outside world, but once their goal
is complete, they will return to wherever they came from. I thought what came from your
right arm might be similar.”
His understander looked awfully grim for what she was saying.
Kamijou did not know what all this talk about the macro and the micro was about, but if
there really was a medicine that worked on anything, he wanted to use it on the honey-
blonde girl limply approaching death in front of him. Yet Othinus said nothing about
doing that.
“But I was wrong.”
She sighed.
In an extremely rare occurrence for that Magic God, she actually announced her failure.
“I am fairly certain that is the wrong answer. That means not even a Magic God like me
understands it! Human, Imagine Breaker may be a reference point for the world and it
may be the ultimate exorcism spiritual item said to have been managed by the Golden at
their Blythe Road hideout...but it must be more than just that. Aleister might be gone, but
he discovered something else inside your right hand!! Do not be led astray. That is not
some convenient panacea. No matter how convenient it might look, that medicine comes
with horrific side effects that eat into you before you even notice!!”
