The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 484

Episode 484 Flores (3)

Anorexia nervosa.

The correct name is ‘anorexia nervosa’.

It is not a disease that is unfamiliar to people. It is a disease that many people are aware of. And at the same time, it is also a disease that has many misunderstandings among the general public.

“The reason why Flower Dragon felt nauseous as soon as he smelled the scent of the fruit is simple. It’s… eating disorder nervosa. “It’s because of anorexia.”

“….”

“Is that correct?”

“….”

Flower Dragon Flores was speechless. I thought it was impossible. I had no idea that this person would actually accurately diagnose his disease.

‘Why are there all these people?’

I didn’t particularly bring a stethoscope. It wasn’t like I had observed myself closely for a long time. At least I only had brief physical contact with this person a little while ago. Just a few seconds. Just as that human hand briefly touched this side.

‘I felt a foreign feeling at that time. It felt like someone was looking at the mana flow inside my body. But…’

I thought it was an illusion.

A mere human examining his own mana flow as a dragon. I didn’t even think it was possible. But now I see that it wasn’t. The feeling seemed real.

“Could it be possible that you stole my Dragon Heart?”

“Slightly. sorry.”

“How is that possible?”

“I somehow ended up with such a talent.”

“What a talent for peeking. It’s nasty. “Insidious.”

“I’m sorry about that too.”

“So I have anorexia. “What does that have to do with you?”

“Anorexia is a serious disease.”

“know.”

“It’s probably more serious than you realize.”

“I know.”

“There are also concerns that it will become more serious in the future.”

“I know.”

“But it looks like you’re not doing anything special.”

“….”

Flower Dragon Flores fell silent again. And I thought. Should I cast a mute spell on this person so that he cannot speak for about a year? I even thought that it would be more comfortable that way.

But Rakiel didn’t care and said what he had to say.

“Even when I was running an oriental medicine clinic, I had experience receiving patients with anorexia. Not just once. But do you know what people who come to us because of anorexia have in common?”

“…what?”

“Everyone tends to take their illness lightly.”

“lightly?”

“yes.”

“In what way?”

“It’s no big deal. He said he wasn’t seriously ill. It’s just like this for a little while. If you take some medicine, you will soon regain your appetite or your aversion to food will disappear. “I tend to think of it that way.”

“…Isn’t that actually the case?”

“No, not at all.”

Rachiel shook her head resolutely. Then he picked up a chair and put it down. I sat facing the flowerpot dragon. Like water flowing. So naturally. With gentle gestures and glances, he pointed to the chair across from him.

“Please sit down first.”

“….”

A calm invitation that I am so used to! The flowerpot dragon sat across from Rakiel without realizing it. In this way, the patient consultation mood that Raquiel was so familiar with was created.

He said.

“Anorexia is a word. “It is a disease that can kill a person.”

It’s true.

In general, the mortality rate for anorexia is at least 5% and up to 20%. At this point, it is a frightening figure that can reduce most infectious diseases, including Corona, to nothing.

Both mind and body become weak. Accompanied by depression. The risk of heart attack due to severe muscle loss soars. Liver and brain damage may follow due to depletion of fat in the body.

However, the flower pot dragon calmly shrugged his shoulders.

“A disease that can kill a person?”

“yes.”

“But I’m not human.”

“I would like to correct you. “It is a disease that can be dangerous even for dragons.”

“Have you ever taken on a dragon anorexic patient before?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“But how can you be sure?”

“Because the flower dragon is still a hatchling.”

“…what?”

The flower pot dragon was shocked.

Rachiel said.

“As far as I know, all adult dragons do not need any food to survive. Is that correct?”

“yes. “Because we can naturally absorb the mana that is spread throughout the natural world, including the atmosphere, and through that alone, we can obtain all the power necessary for life activities.”

“That’s right. However, Flower Dragon is not yet an adult. This means that it cannot absorb mana naturally like the Holy Body.”

“But I…”

“Furthermore, you are a hatchling about to have your coming of age ceremony. So the situation will be more ambiguous.”

“….”

Flores’ mouth closed.

Rachiel continued.

“If Flower Dragon had been a young hatchling, there would have been no problem. Like all hatchlings, they probably consumed gold and silver jewelry provided by their parents. But now… haven’t you entered the weaning phase, the stage of giving up your gold and silver treasures and eating regular food?”

“How…did you know that?”

“Because Flower Dragon is over 800 years old?”

Rakiel recalled the age of the flower dragon that she had glimpsed using the pulse skill earlier. 800 years old. In human terms, he is approximately 17 years old. This was the age group in which they were making final preparations to become adults.

Flower Dragon Flores’ eyes became sharp.

“Did you know I’m over 800 years old?”

“yes.”

“How did you know that?”

“Dragon King Berkis told me. “He is a blood relative of Flower Dragon.”

“…When do I receive the Dragon King sponsorship membership?”

“yes.”

“That sleepyhead? “You told me that?”

“yes.”

“That’s nonsense.”

“You can check later.”

Of course it’s a lie.

However, Rachiel’s face was covered with triple embossing of titanium. He believed in the character of Dragon King Berkis, whom he had experienced, and made a fool of himself.

‘The Dragon King is the embodiment of laziness. Even if the flower pot dragon really asks for confirmation, it is obvious that he will answer half-heartedly because he is too lazy to do so. I don’t know. ‘I don’t remember.’

In the end, the flower pot dragon will not be able to confirm anything from his brother, the Dragon King. Convinced of that, Rakiel continued his shameless lies.

“Besides, that’s not important right now, is it? “I am speaking to you out of genuine concern for Mr. Floweryong Hwa’s health.”

“My health?”

“yes. “I’m saying this because I’m worried about Mr. Hwa Hwa-ryong, who has entered the weaning phase where he needs to eat regular food, but can’t eat regular food due to anorexia that came out of nowhere.”

“….”

“How long has it been?”

“quite.”

“So how much?”

“Well, I guess it’s been a little over a year?”

“Is it a year?”

“uh.”

“What about food intake in the meantime?”

“Almost…”

“Almost?”

“I ate properly three months ago.”

“Do you remember what food you ate and how much?”

“uh. “About two slices of bacon.”

“…no way.”

“that’s right. “That’s my last meal.”

“Are you okay?”

“any.”

The flower pot dragon laughed weakly.

Rachiel felt serious.

I knew I had anorexia, but the condition was more serious than I thought. I haven’t eaten in 3 months. If he were human, he would have died dozens of times. So what about hatchlings, the adult form of dragons? How long can I last?

“Do you feel like eating some food?”

“No, not really.”

“How did you get nauseous just by smelling food?”

“Are you asking about the reason?”

“yes. “Is there a special reason?”

“Roughly?”

“Could you please tell me?”

“I? why?”

“If you talk about it, there are cases where the cause can be naturally resolved, right?”

“….”

“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”

“…Tsk no. “We’ve talked so far, but what?”

The flower pot dragon laughed.

How did I end up confiding in this person? Before I knew it, I was receiving counseling(?) like this in a natural atmosphere. I couldn’t believe it myself. It was amazing. She began to tell her story like many patients who entered Rachiel’s office.

“Actually, normal human food… is so tasteless.”

“Compared to gold and silver treasures?”

“no.”

“sure?”

“Compared to the food my sister-in-law used to cook.”

“Old sister… sister?”

“huh.”

“for a moment. “If you’re the one who will be called my sister-in-law by Flower Dragon… let’s see… I wonder if it’s the Dragon King Verkis?”

“huh. “The big-hearted, kind, and most patient sister in the world who married that Jamtaeng.”

“You are the Dragon Queen.”

“People in the world call me that.”

Flower Dragon Flores said proudly. His older sister. Just thinking about her made the flower pot dragon feel happy. It was natural. Didn’t she receive help from her sister even when she was hatching from an egg? Even when he was young, his sister-in-law almost raised him.

“He’s a good person. Even though he is an ordinary human, he is wiser than a dragon. Besides, your sister’s cooking… you probably can’t even imagine. “Until you actually try it.”

“Is it that delicious?”

“It’s so delicious that I can’t express it in words.”

“Wait a minute then…”

“Can you guess?”

“yes. “Approximately.”

Rachiel nodded. A dragon queen of human origin(?). Her cooking skills are amazing. The flower pot dragon was said to have been cared for by her. Then….

“It seems that Flower Dragon grew up naturally tasting the Dragon Queen’s cooking since childhood. “In the process, I developed an appetite for the Dragon Queen’s cooking.”

“huh. that’s right.”

“Then you grew up thinking that incredible taste was normal….”

“I bet even back in the days when I ate gold and silver treasures as my staple food, I would drool whenever I smelled my sister’s food.”

“Whew. also. The cause of anorexia is….”

“Yes, it’s because my tastes have become too sophisticated.”

“So you’re not satisfied with ordinary food?”

“It’s not that I can’t be satisfied.”

“yes. Just smelling it made me vomit.”

Rakiel finally seemed to understand.

At the same time, I came up with a simple way to solve the anorexia that afflicts flowering dragons.

“Then wouldn’t it be okay to go back to the Dragon Queen right now?”

That’s it.

That will solve it.

Tastes that have become overly sophisticated. Wouldn’t it be possible to eat a dish prepared by the Dragon Queen, the person who provided the cause, without feeling uncomfortable?

However, upon hearing this, the flower pot dragon smiled bitterly.

“I wouldn’t have thought of that method, right?”

“…Is there a reason you can’t go back?”

“huh. “I got kicked out by my mom.”

“yes?”

“You too are now weaning. But how long are you going to live as a picky eater, only eating meals prepared by your sister? That shouldn’t happen. So I got kicked out.”

“You’re amazing.”

“My mom is like that.”

“….”

“ruler. My story ends here. As you said, I have anorexia and it is a more serious disease than I thought. “Then will you at least treat me?”

“yes.”

“You don’t even hesitate?”

“Because I can see what I will gain in return.”

“Do you think you’ll get it?”

“Did you guess?”

“I can only guess. “Because they had something to ask of me from the beginning.”

“yes. “Please tell me the location of Bingryong Tyranus.”

“That’s impossible right now.”

“Why?”

“I have no strength because of anorexia.”

“….”

“I don’t have the power to transform into dragon form. However, in this form, I cannot mobilize enough mana to track the attraction of my flesh and blood.”

“So, this means that you will only grant my request if I cure your anorexia.”

“So to speak.”

“Then, if I cure your anorexia, will you find Bingryong Tyranus?”

“I will.”

The flower pot dragon nodded willingly.

In fact, anorexia was a serious concern for her. I put a lot of effort into overcoming it on my own. So, he was working in the alchemy lab at the academy. It was an effort to create something with amazing taste, even if it meant borrowing the power of alchemy.

But now someone you never thought of would come and help you. After talking about it a bit, I found it to be quite trustworthy. She had no reason to refuse.

“great. Then, let’s start treatment right away.”

“uh? now?”

“yes. “There’s no need to delay, right?”

“here?”

“yes.”

“how?”

The flower dragon became curious.

Rachiel smiled broadly.

“Uh, shall we start with acupuncture?”

That was the moment the words ended.

Rachiel’s hand moved. And before I knew it, I stabbed the flower-pot dragon Flores with a direct headshot between the eyes with the thorn I had pulled out from inside my arms. Pow.
