Love's Concoction #ForestDwarf

Continuing from Kanna|Captain of the Curiosity Exploration Team's ① Save Owen
.

Owen, who had been contaminated with the blood of the Great Raven, saw his illness progress faster than those possessed by the witch—or more accurately, by the Great Raven.
It was very similar to the symptoms of the "Black Death" that had been prevalent in the era of Owen and Kayla, who had been revealed to be an Elven princess.
Kayla, who had been kept asleep by medicine brought back from the future by the Elven healer Morris, apologized upon waking for the terror she had caused, despite being possessed by the Great Raven, due to her own lack of magical mastery.
"Kayla, please don't blame yourself. Kei, Sydney, and York have all returned safely, after all."
Miyu said to Kayla with gentle words.
"And, with plenty of medicinal herbs..."
York said in a voice that clearly showed he had regained his energy, and Sydney followed up.
"I joined up with Morris and managed to get some wonderful medicine, too."
"Princess Kayla, let's use these materials and Miyu's alchemy to concoct an antidote immediately."
Morris said.
"If we don't start soon, Owen won't last."
Kayla looked at Owen, who was suffering in bed, with sad eyes.

The Great Raven had been resurrected from the dark underworld and had crawled out onto the ancient surface.
It possessed others, planted the fear of plague, and survived by mixing its own blood into them under the guise of treatment.
Never again would it be allowed to steal anyone's soul.

"The medicine Morris brought back from the 25th century is amazing. Even after checking the 'Book of Herbs,' I couldn't make it because the blending was too difficult, but now it's finished. With this, we can save Owen."
Miyu lifted the vessel she had mixed it in, met Kayla's gaze, and nodded.
"If this succeeds, we can save many people and eradicate many diseases."
The Elven healer Morris said with a smile.

They decided to have Owen drink the medicine Miyu and the others had made and watch his condition.
Although the symptoms like the "Black Death" were being held back, two days passed and Owen did not open his eyes.
"Owen, did you go to heaven?"
The kitten Kei meowed in a sad voice.
"It's okay. He is a strong person."
Miyu said, trying to encourage everyone.

As quiet time flowed by, Kayla went to the bedside, stroked Owen's cheek, and then gently kissed his lips. It was no longer the terrifying kiss from the time of the witch.

The residents of the forest had all gathered at the small general store 'Forest Dwarf,' worried about Owen.
The kitten Kei climbed onto the bed and buried her body into Owen's chest.
"Owen, don't die."
"You've gotten heavy, Kei."
"Owen!!"
A commotion erupted that shook the 'Forest Dwarf' shop.
"We did it! The medicine worked."
"I'm so glad the 'Book of Herbs' is back."
"It's thanks to the power of this book, but the success is also thanks to the power of the care and concern of everyone gathered here."
Miyu smiled at the forest friends who had gathered.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Owen got up from the bed and pulled Kayla, who was in front of him, into an embrace.
"I'm the one who should be sorry."

With this, peace would come to Forest Dwarf and to the world.

Also, let's wrap it up happily😽
