“That's right. It's the special medicine for Saltification Disease. Weiss Rogers has been secretly developing a cure for Saltification Disease. In the previous case, some of the confiscated medicine was sent to the Saint Rosalia Research Institute for analysis. It was probably at that time that he came into contact with Weiss Rogers.

But I suspect she achieved some kind of breakthrough, and Leon likely established a connection with her that we never managed to uncover. If there was also some personal bond between them, then Leon's actions in the Archdiocese make much more sense.”

“More than seventy percent.”
