To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 252 Health Checkup in Elf Village (1)

“This request went well.”

“I hope it stays like this in the future. ha ha ha.”

Inside the adventurer’s guild, there was a lot of talk about the monster sweeps that had taken place over the past few days.

There are a lot of them, but they are relatively weak monsters, so the profits are great.

That’s why there was a smile blooming on the face.

While they are tilting their glasses and exalting each other’s prowess, someone quietly opens the guild door and enters.

Quiik—

My eyes are focused along with the small noise coming from the old door.

When a man in a white robe walked by, the tumultuous interior of the guild instantly became quiet.

His face was covered by an iron mask, and here and there his sleeves were stained with grass.

Even at a glance, he doesn’t look like a normal adventurer.

The man slowly approached the bulletin board with various requests.

Papers attached to bulletin board.

Among them, pick up the request painted in red.

“I want to accept this request.”

The receptionist replied with a suspicious expression.

“This request is limited to healers… can you show me your hand?”

At that, he took out a gold plate from his bosom and handed it to him.

The receptionist, who had checked over and over again, nodded.

“… Excuse me. I definitely checked.”

He puts a seal on the request form and speaks.

“There are many people who have been injured due to the monster eradication. Please join the priests in the requested village as soon as possible.”

“I will.”

The man put the parchment in his bosom and left the guild.

After he left, the quiet guild became noisy again.

An avant-garde adventurer dressed in neat armor asked the receptionist.

“Hey, who is that man? It’s a face I haven’t seen around here.”

“I don’t know either. Probably an adventurer from another guild.”

“I can’t believe I’m coming over… That high-nosed healer is moving the guild? A first-class therapist, at least?”

Healers, like wizards, have a hierarchy.

Primary therapists are those who have acquired the most basic knowledge to treat people.

Nevertheless, they are treated as highly skilled personnel.

One top healer was worth the ransom of a 3rd circle mage, so I said it all.

From the second level onwards, they are the ones who have been given the authority to command priests and give necessary instructions for treatment.

They can issue an evacuation order to the entire village, and in case of an emergency, such as an epidemic, they can issue a village evacuation order under agreement with the neighboring lords.

It can be seen that the role of the therapist is large.

It’s not because they cost a lot of money, but because they can’t be found, so I feel that they are treated with great care even in the guild.

The receptionist shook his head at the man’s words.

“As you know, the guild does not carelessly spill information about adventurers unless they have achieved merit. Don’t try to know too much about other people’s lives.”

When only Pinjan comes back instead of the answer he wants, he laughs and snorts.

“She’s not being funny.”

As the man who lost interest returns to the party, the receptionist who is left alone casts his gaze towards the entrance of the guild.

“To be a first-class therapist at such a young age. I don’t know if I’ll be able to become a second class in the future.”

* * *

A stream flows through a crack in the moss-covered rocks.

The panoramic view of the village overlooking the distance and the lively noise faintly heard in it made my mood even better.

A woman walked slowly beside him, who was lying quietly.

She sat around me and spoke softly.

“Today is five years.”

Despite the sudden words whose meaning is unknown, the young man just enjoys his leisure time.

the woman spoke

“As you said, the Holy Kingdom has prospered and the level of human knowledge has also increased. There are many people who are exploring the new study of medicine, so it can be said that everything went as you wished.”

“not there yet. Therapists are still few in number and poorly trained. Ten more years.”

“When I saw it, I still wonder. On the one hand, I am afraid of how far humans will grow.”

While listening to the words, he was lazy for a while, and then he got up a little.

I picked up the leather clothes I had taken off to one side and hung a small backpack from my waist.

At first glance, it seems that she is getting ready to leave, so she also gets up from her seat.

“I have nothing else to do today, so I’ll go home now.”

I yawned and waved my hand, and Pia waved back and said,

“I won’t see you off far. See you tomorrow.”

* * *

It has been five years since I left the Holy Land.

In the meantime, the continent was greeted with a big wind.

It is also the time when the science of medicine, which had not been established so far, spread widely.

The 5 years the saint disappeared had a great impact not only on the castle but also on the surrounding kingdoms.

In order to be appointed as a priest in the holy kingdom, he had to learn at least the basics of medicine, and the mercenary and adventurer guilds began recruiting for a job called ‘therapist’ who specialized in medicine.

They, too, have recognized the many advantages of systematic knowledge.

Unlike priests and priests who heal one person in an instant, a proper healer can even remove the cause of a disease in a village.

In addition, there are a few cases where healers heal wounds that divine magic cannot heal, albeit occasionally.

Therefore, divine magic and healers could exist in a symbiotic relationship rather than being in opposition to each other.

However, if there is a problem, it is that the healer is a high-quality manpower that exceeds the ransom of most 3rd circle wizards.

It is difficult to learn and only a certain number of therapists can become therapists, causing an imbalance between supply and demand.

Everywhere they went, they cringed to carry each other on their backs, and the therapists’ noses rose considerably.

Also, the academy is collecting a lot of gold coins in the name of tuition.

As a result, it became a job for the nobles that commoners could not even dream of.

“They said they couldn’t think of frog tadpoles.”

What would you do if you taught me a hundred days?

The goal of the majority of people learning medicine is to eat well with a raised nose.

He licks his tongue and moves on.

When I arrived home not long after, only quiet silence greeted me.

My parents are on the verge of going out to visit the neighboring estate for the past few days.

So, the only ones left at home were himself and his brother.

When I go up to my room and open the door, I see Lacia sitting on the bed reading a book.

Eyes that look exactly like Sein, a sharp nose and red lips.

Although she is young, she is quite beautiful even at a glance.

If it grows like this, the moon will hide and the flower will be ashamed of its appearance.

“Have you been, brother?”

Talk and smile softly.

It is strangely mature for a subject who is now six years old.

“I’m back.”

“Seeing that you came earlier than usual, something must have happened, right?”

Besides, it’s sharp.

When Ray, who was stabbed to the point, nodded, Lacia closed the book and got up from the bed.

“If I get in the way, I’ll avoid the seat.”

It is too precocious for a child of this age.

She glanced back and smiled.

“I’m glad I don’t smell that elf today.”

Percussion—

The door is closed.

Left alone in the room, Ray felt goosebumps rising on his back, but he didn’t care and took out the parchment from his chest.

— Treating the wounded in Seren Village.

The phrase written in red letters shows that the matter is big even at a glance.

I think as I scan the parchment.

‘It’s been five years now. I’ll be able to move myself soon.’

What has been achieved so far is not that great.

All I have done in the past five years is to figure out the combination of herbs and their efficacy.

From now on, I plan to increase my practical experience by running around until my feet sweat.

To do so, it was necessary to treat monsters and other races regardless.

‘Even though I won’t be able to go the easy way because of the promise I made with Eucliwood.’

When he received the therapist’s certificate, he made a promise with her.

‘Before receiving the hand, please promise me one thing. That I would never become a second-class healer.’

‘…why?’

‘From this level, it is the domain of the kingdom. It’s comfortable when you give instructions, but it only limits your actions. If possible, I don’t want to sever my ties with the Holy Son.’

She, who normally doesn’t ask for favors, seriously asked for a promise, so I couldn’t help but obey.

Besides, he is already sick of being in the Holy Land and not being able to act as he pleases.

Now that those restrictions are gone, it doesn’t really matter how you move.

I thought so, so this is the first request I received.

Here’s what it looks like in its entirety:

A few months ago, monsters camped in front of Serene Village.

Orcs and goblins joined forces, but it was difficult for ordinary people who couldn’t handle mana to win.

In the end, the villagers gathered money and put in a request to the guild, and soon a large-scale sweeping battle took place.

In the process, the monsters resisted severely, and it seems that several adventurers, including villagers, were injured.

Perhaps, along with the apprentice priests, he was asking for their treatment.

As he glanced over the request, he nodded.

“If you were injured in battle, it must have been an abrasion or cut. It’s not a big deal, so it’s perfect for a first request.”

There won’t be anything particularly difficult, and even an apprentice priest will quickly heal any cuts.

If you look at the one guild put out as a healer-only request, it must have been that the number of injured was too many for apprentice priests to handle.

I’ll have to go and see it for myself once in a while.

Tomorrow is the day to check the health of the elven village, so it should be fine as long as it goes beyond the day after tomorrow or Glfi.

He tossed roughly what he needed into his backpack.

* * *

As soon as the day dawned, I moved to the elven village.

As we climbed the tall tree house, Aira served tea as if she had known in advance.

“You are late.”

I’ve been here since early morning, but it’s a dissatisfied voice.

“You came as quickly as possible. How do you feel? Anything strange?”

“Whoop whoop. My heart seems to be beating seriously, but nothing is different from normal.”

“Arrhythmia, what? Elves are said to live long, so there should be no problem for hundreds of years from now.”

“…”

“Reach out your hand.”

“….”

As I obediently stretched out my arm, I checked my pulse.

“Your complexion is normal, and you don’t have a tongue.”

“Look around a bit more. Maybe you have a disease, don’t you?”

She lifts her hair and reveals her neck seductively.

Hana Rei just shook her head.

“I’d love to, but you’re too healthy right now.”

Aira drools at the opinion of the doctor who is cold enough to freeze the sea at once.

“Ugh. Then I guess you’d better take care of the elder than me. He looks weak these days because he is old.”

Seeing his dark expression, it seems that something is going on.

“The elder?”

“He seems to be out of breath and coughs a lot. I don’t usually do that.”

It’s definitely weird.

‘Is something wrong with my lungs?’

Tilting his head in wonder, he headed to the elder’s residence with Aira.

It was said that one hundred words is not enough.

It is better to see for yourself than to keep exchanging opinions with each other.
