Unlike his father who follows his advice not to bother his uncle to pick him up, Mrs. Rivers instead insists that her relatives have to fetch him. She keeps asking Stairmount about the time when he departs for Jadeite. In the end, Stairmount is forced to tell Mrs. Rivers, and just as he expects, her relatives send a message that they will fetch him at the terminal while he is on the flying bus.

"Schynn, I am Aunt Ashley. Your uncle can't fetch you because he has some business, so it is me who fetch you."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Y4k4EJGw
Aunt Ashley is Mrs. Rivers' sister-in-law, the one who is closer to him must be his uncle since he is Mrs. Rivers' brother, so that it must be his uncle who fetches him. Stairmount sends a telepathic message. "Ouch, I am so sorry for bothering you, Auntie..." He feels uneasy about bothering them.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgEyO42Z2m
Arriving at the terminal, he quickly finds that Aunt Ashley is waving at him, "Schynn! You are Schynn, right?!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63B8N3nz8U
"Yes, I am. And you, Aunt Ashley?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXYxS0Y92
The woman in her late forties nods. Aunt Ashley is very fashionable, with very elegant makeup as well. Too fashionable and elegant, even Jupiterian people themselves rarely dress like her. She immediately approaches Stairmount, says cheerfully, "That's right, it's you! Gosh, we never met before, huh! I only saw you from the news on the cyber monitor!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aQde69iJ7
Stairmount just curves a little smile as response. "How are you, Auntie?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv15uQpDo1v
Aunt Ashley takes him into her flying car. "Well... not in good condition, Schynn. Your grandma falls sick, so your uncle has to look after her. That's why he can't come to fetch you."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6lTBhlF3d
Aunt Ashley presses the button on the dashboard, then the flying car immediately flies rapidly. Stairmount asks, "Grandma falls sick? Of what kind of disease?" Different from his grandpa and grandma from his father's relatives who have passed away, his grandma from his mother is still alive.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8CUwWNRpU
"The doctor says, Fuxa."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3yjL5O0I1
"Grandma has got Anti-Pathogen?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfig7MGfAaD
"Yes, so complete. She has even got the specific one, for Fuxa Z. Are you the one who suggests the importance of taking the specific Anti-Pathogen? Your mother always cautions us to follow your advice!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLKjUqJhKk
"Ah, yes..." Stairmount smiles sheepishly. Her mother is sometimes more exaggerated than her father when it comes to being proud of him. Stairmount feels bashful, anyway, since Mrs. Rivers always forces her entire family to absolutely follow his advice in the healthcare sector - just like obeying the order of God.

"But how come somebody can still get Fuxa, they have got complete anti-pathogen, anyway?..." Aunt Ashley looks confused.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREEcfLCddU
"How is Grandma now?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8GgrDgRCs
"She feels unwell. Her condition drops day by day. That's why no one dares to leave her alone." Aunt Ashley is mused. "So strange, then what's the benefit of taking anti-pathogens, after all?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwTmAb57G
"Where is Grandma right now?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCzUijR4Tv
"At home, doing self-isolation."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNNXrOj1gh
"Can you take me there?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGEfLWrSwZ
"But your grandma is in self-isolation. No one can visit her, you know. And aren't you afraid of getting infected?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdeVh9r5A9
"Not a big problem. I'm not afraid of Fuxa," Stairmount says reassuringly. "Besides, I've been researching anti-pathogens all this time, the purpose is to help people, then how come I don't use it to heal my own grandmother? It's my duty to heal my own grandmother."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMOq8IdYvc
"You are a real filial grandson, Schynn. I am so proud of you. Alright! Let's go to your grandma's house!"

Despite being in self-isolation at home, since Stairmount's grandmother is eighty-eight years old, Mrs. Rivers' relatives are worried about leaving her only by herself at home, especially as her condition is getting worse day by day. Mrs. Rivers has two brothers and a sister, including Uncle Alan, her younger uncle, and Uncle Andrew the husband of Aunt Ashley, so the three of them take turns in taking care of her while staying in another room.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga50SK0FD7
"Has Mom been informed about this?" Stairmount asks as he enters the house.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT2wSIZL4O
Uncle Andrew nods. "I just told her yesterday."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyXEIC5jQi
Stairmount steps into his grandmother's bedroom. The elder woman is surprised as she sees him, "Eh, you?..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJby38XjCY
"I am Schynn, Grandma," Stairmount replies quickly.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjAfyL8n9Y
"My goodness, how do you get here?... And, I am now doing self-isolation, don't come in! Or else, you'll get infected!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC05aT3Ea74
"No problem, Grandma. I indeed want to examine you." Stairmount takes a seat next to his grandmother's bed. "Well, I'll examine you for a moment, okay?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvY6hA9bHT
Stairmount soon examines his grandmother, but a moment later, he gawks. "This... is not Fuxa..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbCxsbATpm
"Not Fuxa? But, the doctor says, Protomoeba Test has shown that this is Fuxa?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxji24QifhE
"Are you feeling better after taking the medicine?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UTUxUOF4E
"Eh... it is getting even worse instead..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZoJ8q97R
"It must be... Antivyroxin shouldn't be used in this situation... This... I don't understand what's going on... but it seems that this pathogen will be fiercer if we use Antivyroxin!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH4a4NDYSd
*) Antivyroxin = similar to Antibiotics on Earth, but on this Planet the doctors use this to diminish the Pathogens.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTjnmamgqB
"Really!?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJK9k8vrbv
Stairmount comes out of his grandmother's room and immediately approaches Uncle Andrew. "Uncle Andrew, Grandma is not infected by Fuxa!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzArCdXJ8R
"But, the doctor says, according to the results of the Protomoeba Test, this is Fuxa!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGijOG2EYH
"It does look similar with Fuxa... but the symptoms... it's not the symptoms of Fuxa..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKDxVflnNh
"Really!??!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfQrPobt2w
"Who's the doctor in charge of Grandma?" Stairmount urges. "I want to ask him."
