“….”
Came .
An unexpected certificate(?) arrived.
‘A huge achievement? ‘The extracted insulin successfully demonstrated effectiveness?’
Originally, I was going to use the pulse skill on Damian. This was to check whether the insulin just administered was effective and whether blood sugar levels were properly lowered.
But an unexpected achievement message popped up first. Thanks to you, I was able to find out.
‘It was a success, insulin.’
My heart was pounding.
Eventually, the comprehensive medical checkup table that appeared before my eyes revealed that fact even more clearly.
[Comprehensive medical checkup]
[Test subject: Damian Cayenne]
[Race: Human(+?)]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 3913]
[Height: 186.6 Cm]
[Weight: 65.1 Kg]
[Blood type: He+ D]
[ Overall opinion: This body has a poor prognosis in all categories. Typical type 1 diabetes is detected. Blood sugar homeostasis collapsed due to lack of insulin secretion due to destruction of pancreatic beta cells. However, with the help of the small amount of insulin just administered, blood sugar levels are successfully lowering. Continuous and regular administration is recommended in the future.]
…It’s true.
“Damian?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“how is it?”
“yes?”
“How do you feel?”
“I’m just still tired.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“Are the injections effective?”
“Uh, maybe. Please check for a moment. “It will sting.”
Cock!
He quickly plucked off Damien’s finger with a thorn. A little blood that came out was put on the test paper. And then I ran to the blood test room.
“Fimmeliers? Are you free?”
“…Huh?”
Is it because they attacked so suddenly? The vampires who were working as slaves(?) in the blood testing room were very surprised. I suddenly handed out a test sheet to one of them.
“Inspect. right now.”
“yes?”
“To work.”
“….”
The Pimmelier vampire took the test paper without hesitation. He looked around and licked the test paper.
“How does it taste?”
“Hmm… is this by any chance Sir Damian Cayenne’s blood?”
“that’s right. however?”
“It’s a little less sweet than last time?”
“okay? how much?”
“About 20 percent?”
I also passed the Fimmelier certification with this!
Hope bloomed quickly. Immediately, insulin production was further accelerated. The concentration method was improved little by little. Extraction time was efficiently reduced.
Until then, there seemed to be hope.
It certainly was.
I did….
“Use it.”
It was ten days later.
Rachiel, who had administered insulin to Damien, frowned unconsciously.
“majesty? “What’s wrong?”
“uh. a little.”
Rachiel told the situation without hiding it.
“A non-bacterial abscess has formed where the insulin was injected…”
“Oh, it’s been like this since yesterday.”
“Since yesterday? What was red and swollen?”
“yes.”
“….”
“Is it really bad?”
“quite.”
The wrinkles between Rachiel’s eyebrows deepened.
“It seems that an inflammatory reaction occurs due to impurities that inevitably remain during the process of extracting insulin.”
“If you do that…”
“I can’t filter out more impurities than I do now.”
It was true.
It was not produced without a single error in a modern factory. It was close to extraction using primitive methods without proper equipment. Therefore, naturally, trace amounts of impurities were bound to remain.
That seemed to be causing the problem.
“Besides, what can I say? “My blood sugar isn’t going down as much as I thought.”
“Is that so.”
“uh. “Do you feel more energetic than before?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“But you still don’t dare to be active like before?”
“I am satisfied with just walking slowly.”
“Whew. “That’s why it’s a problem.”
Rachiel’s sigh deepened.
When I first administered insulin and saw its effects, hope began to bloom. Since I saw a 20% blood sugar lowering effect with the first administration, I thought it would be even better if I improved the concentration and extraction method.
However, improvement was not as easy as expected. The first extraction was not easy, but improving it was even more difficult. No matter how much the extraction method was developed, the blood sugar reduction was limited to a maximum of about 25%.
It shouldn’t be like this.
This isn’t enough.
‘of course. Because in this condition… the only way to survive is to prolong life.’
It did buy me some time. You can make it so that you don’t die right away. That alone is a huge feat. But… can we endure a long-term battle like this?
no.
never.
‘Peeing on frozen feet like this… Damian’s body will continue to weaken. As the years go by, movement will become impossible. Literally just holding your breath. It shouldn’t be like that. ‘In such a weakened state, one non-bacterial abscess like today would put my life in danger.’
Complications.
Diabetes’ most dangerous companion.
As the years go by, a body that has been gnawed away and weakened cannot withstand even a small abscess. Direct Complications will put you on a serious path to winning.
If that happens, you can’t stop it.
It must be seen as death.
In the end, the Demon King’s plan succeeds.
‘Will I be able to dramatically advance the production method of insulin by then? no.’
He came to a sobering conclusion. The limitations of the production method were too obvious to be too optimistic. It may be possible to improve to a certain extent, but there is no way to overturn this situation.
It’s literally like they only succeeded in buying time.
So…
“I think we’ll need reinforcements.”
“What if it’s reinforcements?”
“Vampire Lord.”
Rakiel said with a grin.
“I told you this before, right? Your type 1 diabetes is a race against time. So you should hurry. Don’t hesitate. “Even if I have to call the strongest reinforcements I can call right now.”
“Diabetes is a disease in which blood sugar levels soar, and vampires are experts in blood, so you are calling for the best of them, the Vampire Lord.”
“uh. “Are you smart, Sir Cayenne?”
“Because my life depends on it.”
“For someone whose life is at stake, your answer is quite calm, isn’t it?”
“Isn’t it better than crying or being depressed?”
“That’s right.”
If you just hang around like you’re in pain, it becomes even more difficult. Of course, I also know that it is not easy to act brightly. No, in fact, it is incredibly difficult. But Damian is doing it. Even though it may be difficult, I am trying my best. Seeing that made me want to give up even more.
“Then let’s call it. Right Now.”
Rachiel took out the pendant from her arms. It was a pendant that Vampire Lord Hildert gave as a gift before he left.
Rod said that if you open this pendant, he will come and help you ‘unconditionally’ at least once.
“Whoa.”
I took a deep breath.
I opened the pendant with a click.
There was nothing inside the pendant. There were no special decorations or paintings to be seen. At least I couldn’t feel any traces or signs of magical power.
It was literally just a dull and ordinary reaction.
‘what.’
Could it be a defective product?
Or did Rod hit a bullseye and fly away?
It was around the time when I had this thought.
Sigh.
The hospital room door opened.
Soon a familiar voice was heard.
“When I entrusted the pendant to you, I never thought I would be summoned so early.”
‘uh?’
I turned around in surprise.
Vampire Lord Hildert, who came in through the door, smiled his signature cool smile.
“I can’t say it’s been a long time, Prince of Humans. “Did you call me?”
“Yes, I called. But…”
“Why are you opening the door and coming in?”
“Yes….”
“I was summoned and came here because it was a hallway. I could feel your energy inside the door. So I opened the door and came in.”
“….”
“Did you really think that if you open that pendant, magic power or light would come out and I would be summoned in a splendid way?”
“Honestly?”
“I guess so. But that doesn’t really matter.”
“Why is it not so good?”
“It’s inefficient. Magical power and light pouring out are all things that require the arrangement of magic power one by one. It’s also a useless production. “That is waste.”
“Oh yes…”
I heard it and it turned out to be true.
What is the importance of flashing effects? The goal of summoning the Vampire Lord was successful, so that’s it.
“Anyway, it’s nice to see you again like this. “Actually, I was just about to tell you good news.”
“What if it’s good news?”
“You’re pregnant.”
“…yes? no way?”
“okay. that’s right. “My wife got pregnant safely.”
“Are you already?”
“You tried hard.”
“Congratulations…?”
“what. “It’s all thanks to your surgery.”
Lord Hildert smiled a 100% pure, harmless fatherly smile. But even for a moment. His expression returned to its usual serious expression.
“But the fact that you summoned me like this… does it mean that there is a serious problem that needs my help?”
“yes. That’s right, Lord.”
“Okay… First of all, I would like to offer my sincere consolation for the problem that has arisen. Should I start with the main point? “How can I help you?”
“Could you treat Damien here?”
“what?”
One of Rod’s eyebrows twitched.
He sniffed.
“Isn’t this your bodyguard? But this smell… really?”
“Did you sense it?”
“My blood sugar is amazing.”
“yes. That’s why I’m having a hard time.”
After all, he is a vampire lord. It seemed like the state of Damian’s blood could be guessed just by the slight odor coming from him.
Rakiel spoke honestly.
“It’s type 1 diabetes. “I made my own medicine, administered it, and it was effective, but… it wasn’t enough.”
“Hmm….”
“That’s why I came to ask for Lord’s help like this. You are the best among vampires who are experts in blood. “I ask if you can help me with Sir Cayenne’s treatment or a drastic improvement in the medicine I created.”
“Hmm….”
I asked politely.
However, Rod’s reaction was not surprising.
“This might be a little difficult for me.”
“yes?”
“I’m sorry. I really want to help you. Because you are my benefactor. But this… um… let me explain, although I am an expert on blood, as you say, I cannot cure diseases caused by human blood. Strictly speaking… it can create illness. That’s it. “Healing is not the domain of a vampire like me.”
“Is that so….”
I was lost.
It was impossible even for the Vampire Lord who had hoped for it. A deep sense of disappointment came over me.
But that was then.
“That’s right. “Instead of my being unable to help, I would like to introduce you to a being who is much more omnipotent than me and who will be much more helpful than me in this matter.”
“Yes?”
An omnipotent being?
Even more so than the Vampire Lord?
“Is there such a thing?”
“of course.”
“Who is it?”
asked.
I was genuinely curious.
Lord Hildert said.
“Dragon King Berkis.”
