If they could uncover the root of the problem and find a solution, the Iguhi Clan was willing to offer half of its wealth as payment.
The sheer luxury of the house made it clear just how much wealth the Iguhi Clan possessed.
Even half of it was more than enough for an ordinary person to spend over several lifetimes.
Because of this, quite a few renowned doctors had been drawn here by the promise of wealth over the years.
But without exception, they had all failed.
There were even rumors that, after failing, those doctors had become obsessed with finding a solution and gone into hiding among the populace, never showing themselves again.
They had arrived.
Standing before a door, Iguhi Mina spoke slowly.
Inside was the leader of the Iguhi Clan. The two of them could speak with her.
After saying that, she pushed open the door and stepped aside.
As he entered the room, Scribe found that although the space was quite expansive, it was sparsely furnished.
There were only several burning incense burners, along with a folding screen and a large bed placed in the center of the room.
And, of course, the figure hidden behind the screen.
The figure seemed not to have gotten out of bed yet. Half her body was hidden beneath the covers, while her upper body lay prone on the bed, facing Scribe and Tamayo.
Are you two the new doctors?
A somewhat seductive voice rang out. As expected, the figure behind the screen was a woman.
Scribe nodded and stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Tamayo.
That's right. Madam Iguhi, where would you like us to begin the examination?
No rush. Before that, I would like you to hear a story.
With that, the woman began telling her story.
