In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair-Chapter 161 - 161 A bogus tale

161 A bogus tale

Justice gets grumpy all of a sudden. He was planning to visit Anne when the time was right but turns out, the time never was right for him. When he was finished eating breakfast, while waiting for Ageha to come, another knight came with a sort of document for him. When he tried to get out of the tent, Vale came and tried to have a conversation with him, and when he could finally save himself from the boring conversation of the new formation of the knight and mage, Brom and Henry came inside the tent.

He glared at the weird mage captain while he tried to tell them his story and Anne. “So, let’s hear this important story of yours!”

Vale frowned after he heard the crown prince. “Why are you being such a pr*ck?”

“I am not! I was just… Ugh fine, I got angry because all of you coming here making me late for my… appointment.” Gruntled Justice, while leaning on his desk, still glaring at Brom.

“Don’t worry Justice, Anne will go nowhere, so calm down.” Xavier grinned while the others almost choke on their drink. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

“Shut up Xavier!” He muttered while getting embarrassed on his desk, “Just… tell us everything, Brom!”

“Can I finish my breakfast first?” He asked calmly to everyone.

Xavier whispered to Vale, who happened to sit beside him, “He was sure a weird one…”

“Oh, this is just the portion of his weird behavior. I got used to him so much that I need to consult his own subordinates.” Said Vale, with a smile on his face.

.....

They were waiting impatiently for Brom to finish eating his breakfast. They just sipped on their caftea with occasional glances at the hungry mage captain. When he was finished, he looks around looking at the others.

“Alright, all of this begin so suddenly, I got a dream about a certain woman, at first it was just a short dream, I walk and then I saw her, smiling at me…” Brom paused at the moment, trying to gather some courage, he still have chills when he remembered his young self. “The dream grew into a nightmare when… when she tried to chase me in my dream, getting angry and even yelling at me some words that I couldn’t remember.”

“Who was the woman? Did you know her?” Asked Vale suddenly.

“She is the witch of the mountain.” This time, it was Henry who spoke.

“What?!” Vale and Xavier shouted at the same time, they gave glanced at Justice, who just happened to be quiet the whole time.

“I know it was her. I happened to see her back then in Viora village, two years ago.” Said Brom, continuing his story.

Justice thought for a moment and finally asked Brom some questions. “That was your first encounter with her? You never saw her before in your life?”

Brom shakes his head, “No, I never saw her before the Viora village incident.”

Vale and Xavier shared a glance, while Justice muttered, “That was so strange. How come she was haunting your dream?”

“Probably, he had some connection with the witch of the mountain.” Henry gave his opinion to all of them.

Vale, Xavier, and Justice agreed with Henry’s theory, while Brom didn’t want to accept it.

“No, my family came from a long line of famous alchemists. My mother was a descendant of a famous alchemist.” Said Brom to Henry. He was a proud fellow, if it’s about her mother.

Henry scratches his chin, countering his claim. “I am sorry to say this, but you know nothing from your father’s side, weren’t you? Your mother has you out of wedlock and she never revealed the identity of your father.”

“That was irrelevant!” Brom shouted at Henry, the one thing that he rarely displayed to everyone around, a raw emotion.

“No, Brom, I am sorry that you never care to know about your real father before, but this might have some connection with the witch of the mountain,” Vale looks at his former subordinate full of sympathy, he knows full well how Brom never comfortable if it was about his father. Vale turns his attention to Justice. “What do you think?”

“I think Brom and I need to have a conversation with Chief Amaris about this,” Justice said to everyone in the tent.

“Brom, what do you think?” Asked Vale to Brom again.

Brom gruntled but finally agreed on Justice’s proposal. Henry raised his hand, reminding everyone that the story was far from over.

“Brom still has more than just his own dream, though.”

“Ah, yes, It concerned the young woman to whom all of you have a deep affection,” Brom said the words without thinking of it for a moment.

The four of them curse, Vale even voicing his objection, “Oh, do shut up, Brom!”

Brom shrugged on his shoulder, “None of you denied the claim, though.”

Clearing his throat, Henry tried to make Brom focus on his story again. “Probably not the best time right now, Brom. Just tell us what kind of connection your dream has with Anne.”

“We tell each other our secret after Brom speaks up about his current nightmare.” A voice of a young woman came from the entrance of the tent. Everyone was surprised to see Anne standing at the entrance.

“Anne, what are you doing here?!” Asked Justice, baffled by her sudden appearance. “Wait, you were supposed to be inside the isolation tent!”

She let out a sigh, and enter the tent, “Don’t worry, I was confirmed negative by Hector. I came here because I knew Brom will reveal anything to all of you. It was our plan, after all.”

“So fast? My test gets out in three days,” Xavier gave his complaint, although his face says differently when he looks at the young woman in front of him, “Still, it was good to see you, Anne.”

“Save the tearjerker reunion, later on, Xave.” Said henry while rolling his eyes. He then looks directly at Anne. “So, what’s happening to you? I think you have another piece of news for us, very important news.”

Anne, ignoring Henry’s brazen words, just nodded at him, “You’re right, it was about the new variant of the moskeet fever.”

“So, did your blood really immune from moskeet fever and the new variant?” Asked Vale to her.

“No, sadly, there are no recorded people that have the immunity for the moskeet fever,” Anne answered Vale’s questions, but still look so excited all along. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

“That was not a good news, but why do you look more excited about it?” Xavier asked her with curiosity on his face.

Anne looked around the room, and gave them a wide smile, “Because there was never a new variant of the moskeet fever in the first place. You see! We can finally help all of those people!”
