SUMMONED to ANOTHER WORLD

Volume 4. Chapter 19 Struggles And Wishes

King Ligt and Neii agreed to Vail's words, they immediately issued an order prohibiting touching water.

“Cover all wells and block all transportation routes for traders, as well as…block those who approach the river.”

All soldiers complied and did as they were ordered.

“Call some wizards, if they can get enough water from their magic to fill a large bowl. You will be given one gold piece…”

All the magicians marched into the royal castle to sell their power.

"Forbid all residents from leaving their homes when it's raining, and close their doors and windows."

“If there is a leak in the residence, you are ordered to inform the king.”

When it rains, all the buildings are tightly closed, and no one opens the doors or windows.

The system provided meant that the epidemic could be overcome for a while, but famine hit the kingdoms that implemented the quarantine system.

Several months later.

"Queen, you must eat," Rini asked her queen to open her mouth.

"I don't have the appetite to eat, Rini," Teresa informed.

“….” Teresa turned to the glass of water which was so full, and saw her friend's face which had bags under her eyes.

“What happened to you guys? Every one of you, I always see eye bags and slightly pale faces.” Teresa was so curious.

“….” Rini hesitated whether to tell or not.

“Queen, right now. The water is the most expensive need, and is a step due to several factors."

“Water becomes something step and expensive?” Teresa was so confused.

“Nine months ago, we thought that water was the main factor in this outbreak. And on Mr. Vail's advice, the kingdom banned people from approaching or touching water." Rini said.

"But what about the water in the glass?" Teresa became confused.

“People who can master magic or wizards create water with their magic power, as an alternative,” Rini answered Teresa's words.

“At first it went well, but as time went by. Myself and people who possess magic are required to use the power to meet their daily needs.”

"And exactly in the eleventh month, we have reached the limit for using magic."

“….” Teresa couldn't speak, she realized had become a burden.

The kingdoms of Gerna, Trus, and Mans entered a food crisis. Meanwhile, other kingdoms began to become chaotic with their residents starting to steal water and food.

“.....” Jei and her family eat bread and wheat without any other additions.

Their food was full of wailing, bitter water, and tasteless bread, and wheat was the food of all people during the plague.

“….” Teresa, who was lying in bed, could only think and look for solutions. Likewise with Hana.

"What should I do?" Hana and Teresa thought the same thing, even though they were in different areas.

“I'm useless again, just like that time,” Teresa said in her heart.

“Is this my destiny? Is it because I brought a disease from my world, so everyone here is infected?” Hana said to herself and blamed herself for everything that happened.

“At times like this…”

"Why didn't that person come?"

"Why is the mysterious master, not there?"

“…?” Teresa and Hana were surprised at each other, as if they had met and said something with the same meaning.

Both of them suddenly cried and blamed each other. Teresa considers herself just a burden and useless, and Hana considers herself the cause of the plague and the bringer of bad luck.

Entering two years.

“Food supplies are starting to run low, at this rate. Sooner or later this kingdom will become like other kingdoms.” William told them about the situation in the Trus kingdom.

“Only wheat and wild grass survive on the farms while watering all the farms with water made by adventurers or wizards.” Noa provides information about agricultural products.

"Everyone, sorry for the wait..." Rii and Nesia arrived after traveling for a year to another land.

"Have you received help from kingdoms on other lands?" Vail wanted to know because, he was the one who suggested that Rii and Nesia leave at William's suggestion.

"The Henblant continent and the Mhack continent experienced long droughts and water shortages, but there were no outbreaks like this," Rii told them about the situation in other lands.

"The lands of Cilos, Nogen, and Deryan are experiencing insect and parasite outbreaks," Nesia told them about the situation on other continents.

“There is a continent that has experienced nothing, but they are so stingy and charge so much,” Rii tells of a prosperous continent.

“Stingy and expensive?” Cini was very curious about that continent.

“That continent—”

"Everything is serious!"

They all saw Rini coming in panic.

"Rini, what 's the problem?" asked one of them.

“The Queen has a high fever again and her skin is turning yellow,” Rini told Teresa the situation and condition.

"...." They were all shocked, and they rushed to see Teresa's condition in turn.

Jei cried helplessly, seeing the condition of their queen who looked like she was being tortured on a crescent circle.

After they visited, one of them discussed something very extreme.

“Killed her?!” Rini was surprised by the proposal given by Cini.

“The queen can survive because we always take turns to use recovery magic every night, so isn't this like torturing the queen?” Cini told and brought up the past a little.

"Kila and Silvi haven't returned from the Gerna kingdom either, to keep an eye on them all."

"I can't believe something will happen that I'm worried about," Rini's whole body trembled knowing that her best friend would be killed to make Teresa feel less sick.

“This outbreak is too extreme to endure for people who are infected,” Rii told Rini.

“We will bear the burden of this kingdom and the death of the queen,” Vail told them.

"Do we have no other way?" Jei doesn't want murder in any form.

"If you stick to the previous system, gradually the population will revolt," Cini informed and reminded again of the risks.

“….” Rini ran to Teresa's room, and she locked it from the inside to prevent everyone from killing her friend.

Bruk! Bruk! Bruk!

The sound of a hand pounding on the door.

"Rini...!"

Teresa, who was in the subconscious, saw her best friend trying to protect herself who couldn't do anything.

“….” The screen in front of her eyes disappeared again.

"Sir?" Teresa was confused as to why the screen showing the real world had disappeared.

"It was indeed a very sad incident, but they thought rationally."

"Am I going to be killed?" Teresa wants to know her future, from the masked person in front of her eyes.

“…seeing the future is such a cheating act, Miss Teresa.”

“Just tell me whether I die or not.” Teresa wants to know her situation in the real world.

“Putting that matter aside, there is something I want to ask you for help…”

"Ask for help?" Teresa was so confused as to what problem was more important than the situation.

“…..” The mysterious person only gave three small bottles to Teresa.

"I want you to throw a bottle containing holy water into the fountain in the middle of town."

“A kingdom can only have one.”

“But you gave— ” Teresa paused, she might be asked to give the other two bottles to the Gerna and Mans kingdoms.

“But, I couldn't open my eyes at all. Once they open their eyes, the next day they won't open them again and it will become a burden for them." Teresa told the masked person her condition.

“No need to worry, I will recover you from here.”

“Why don't you want to show up or don't want to get involved?” Teresa was very curious about why this mysterious person remained hidden even though he had appeared.

“If you see me like that time, know that I used magic to create a physical body. But it can’t last long…” The person told her the situation.

“So you don't have a physical body?” Teresa was so shocked to hear that.

“The physical body that I possess was sealed away by my opponent in the past. A new physical body is needed, so that I can exist in your world properly."

"I could possess and take over your body or someone else's, but I wouldn't do what I did before."

“Do what you did before?” Teresa became very curious.

"In the past, I was such an evil figure... when I lost to that protective figure, I decided to look for answers as to what made that figure protect you so much."

“Put the past aside. Are you ready, to carry out what I asked before? Queen Teresa…”

“I will do it, well. This may look and sound easy, but what risks will there be in the future?” Teresa wanted to know the risks if the kingdoms of Trus, Gerna, and Mans had holy water.

“Take advantage of it, and you will be allowed to sell holy water to other kingdoms. Even so, the bottle you are holding will not retain the holy water for long."

"What do you mean, sir?" Teresa was so very curious.

"When all the residents of the kingdoms of Trus, Mans, and Gerna have finished being purified. "The properties of the holy water will return to normal and become ordinary water."

“If you want to sell holy water, without fear of losing the source. It's just that, are you sure you want to sell and turn holy water into a business?”

“I won't, I promise…!” Teresa answered reflexively.

The mysterious person laughed. Meanwhile, Teresa was so embarrassed that she was laughed at because of her attitude.

"I'm going to rewind time, just to the time you found the rejection statement—"

"Wait! I don't want to go back to that time, because it hurts my feelings to hear it." Teresa interrupted her interlocutor's words and asked not to return herself to a time she didn't want to remember.

"If I could choose, I would like to choose the time when I met you that night..." Teresa told her what time she wanted.

“This is why I asked you back then to let me have my emotions in this world,” Teresa told him.

“….” Teresa looked at the mysterious person as if thinking. Because Teresa saw one of the masked person's index fingers make small impacts on the table several times.

“If I do that, then events will change. And the curse imposed by the demon king Bado’s subordinates will not happen.” The mysterious person informed.

"What do you mean? Will the world experience changes in events and timelines?” Teresa was so curious.

“If I do what you ask, then there will be changes in the future. This has also happened in other worlds which are alternative worlds." The person told her about the world where Natalia, Natasya, and Angelina had come.

Teresa was completely unaware of the meaning of her interlocutor's words, she still heard of the existence of an alternative world.
