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

Episode 302 New Party (2)

From the next day, he immediately got a carriage and left the village.

Just because he was at the party, there was nothing more to prepare or do.

Everything was already prepared, as if he had prepared himself for the party.

The man who introduced himself as Ted said as he drove the wagon.

“It’s a great-sized backpack.”

“I took a lot of this and that. I don’t know how long I’ll be homeless. It is basic for the therapist to be in charge of items in preparation for survival.”

“Come to think of it, this is the first time a therapist has come to a party. ha ha ha. It’s not a very dangerous quest, so don’t be anxious.”

There is no tension, let alone anxiety.

he asked, swinging back and forth with his leg sticking out of the carriage.

“So what exactly are we doing?”

“It seems that monsters are appearing in the nearby town. There are sometimes guys who try to expand my territory. We just need to drive them out of the vicinity of the village. How is it that it’s not as big as I thought?”

It’s really no big deal.

As much as the tension that was there disappears.

Ray nodded lightly.

“It’s a simple request. But why do you need a therapist for such a referral? Why are you interested in me in the first place?”

“I need someone to check if there’s even a plague from the monsters that have crossed over to the village. And we are very interested in such therapists. When looking at the party as a whole, the healer is beneficial enough. Sometimes, they are stronger than priests or priests.”

“…That’s why I only took pictures of famous ones among the healers. That was me who just showed up.”

“ha ha ha. In a way, it is.”

Ray also agreed with that.

To be honest, they wouldn’t have cared about any therapist.

If you think about the reason for preparing the tools for one person in advance.

It’s just that he, who has become famous with the title of a white-clad healer, appeared just in time.

Ted glanced to the side.

“Are you disappointed?”

“No, I was relieved.”

It is far better to act in pursuit of profit than to act out of romance.

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, Ted put on a strange expression.

“This is such a strange friend.”

Despite being a healer, Ray, who even brought an iron pot and an anvil hammer, was definitely a strange guy.

They rode in a wagon and moved until evening.

Sonya, who had been resting well inside, came out of the carriage with a stretch.

If the bed was uncomfortable, he stretched his shoulders and waist.

“Ugh. You will need to learn how to ride a little bit.”

It’s not something you just want to do while sleeping.

Ted glanced at her.

“If you demonstrate, I’m willing to learn.”

“I will decline.”

While the two were talking, Ray started a fire by himself.

He has become acquainted with fire by living in a forge.

When I made up my mind to start a fire, I didn’t even move my hand a few times, but the firewood was quickly ignited.

Soon after, a bonfire with a good atmosphere was completed.

Tadak— Tak—

The basics of camping are making a fire.

Kate, who had been preparing for magic while wearing a robe, opened her mouth small for a camping technique that was close to divine.

“…that’s amazing.”

Rey, who was praised, did not stop there and hung the iron pot on a stick.

The prepared ingredients were generously poured into a properly heated pot.

He learned the recipes of famous chefs in his lifetime.

Although there is no spice, the level does not change too much.

It is meat that has been marinated for a whole day with high-quality raw herbs that capture various herbs and fragrances.

Even though it was simply roasted in an iron pot, a sweet scent came up.

Chi-Ik-!

Shake the pot to and fro following the sizzling sound.

The pot is moved quickly only when the fire is in full bloom, so the juice cannot escape and is soaked into the contents.

When it was transferred to a wooden bowl, a wonderful dish was born that is simply exquisite to look at.

Ted and Sonya, who were busy bickering, salivated.

“That’s awesome.”

“Actually, you’re not a therapist, you’re a cook, aren’t you? It’s not like I’ve been camping once or twice…”

That’s right, Ray had been camping while eating sex in the Holy Land.

no i had to

There was not a day when I didn’t move because things popped up all the time.

Ray gave each one food.

“Eating well gives you strength. I eat a lot.”

As soon as the bowl was removed from his hands, Sonya and Ted moved their hands as if they had heard them.

“it is delicious! Is it tasty!”

“Ugh. It is definitely a great skill.”

“You can’t compare to Ted, who used to cook with his hands and smelled like goblin shit!”

“…”

Even if he brought a beggar who was begging in the village and served him a meal, it wouldn’t be this much.

What kind of food have you been eating all this time?

Even the quiet Kate quickly empties the bowl while pressing down on her robe.

The pot, which was not so large in the first place, was already showing the bottom.

Someone came to mind, but I shook my head to erase it.

I’ll start a fire, I’ll finish my meal.

The conversation took place in the middle of the night when we were full and more relaxed.

Gather around a bonfire and sit down.

said Ted scratching the back of his head.

“A bit late, but welcome to the party. Like Sonya, I am in charge of the front line.”

He always had a large bastard sword, so he roughly expected it to be like that.

His voice, which was full of laughter, sank a little serious.

“Today’s talk is about a request. No matter how simple a monster is, it is suicidal to charge it recklessly without a strategy.”

Ray nodded.

Even if you deal with a mere goblin, there are always variables in battle.

In order to reduce it, it was necessary to take careful measures.

When he agreed, Ted talked about the basics.

“Judging based on the request, the monster is probably an orc. As they continued to breed, the colony must have narrowed. Enough to come down to the village.”

Ted, who took a look around to see the reaction, continued.

“We set fire to the orc colony over the course of a week. And this work should be split into groups. Ray and Sonya will protect the village while Kate, who is good at flame magic, and I set fire to the village.”

At his words, Sonya raised her hand.

“…If there are many orcs descending into the village, I cannot protect them all by myself. You know healers aren’t fit for combat, right?”

“But Ray is the only one who can check if anyone has the plague in the village. It’s hard for him to be out of town and no one else.”

“Then, how about increasing the number of people residing in the village?”

“There are too many monsters for me to start a fire alone. It’s even more ridiculous that Kate goes around alone.”

“But…”

Sonya looked at Ray worriedly.

Then Ray smiled and said.

“I don’t have to worry. Because I have enough power to protect my body.”

As I spoke, I flicked the dagger dangling from my waist, and Ted laughed as if he liked it.

“ha ha ha. Thank you for just saying that. Then let’s decide that I will stay on the village side, and Sonya and Ray will stay on the Kate village side. Does anyone else have any objections?”

“Well… if the person concerned is okay.”

“…no objection.”

When the two agreed, Ted patted his hands.

“Then let’s go to this operation. We will arrive at the requested village by mid-morning tomorrow, so make sure you get plenty of rest.”

“okay. Sleep first.”

“….”

Ted’s eyes are drawn to Kate and Sonya as they disappear into a corner.

Even throwing a slightly vague look at her made it seem like she was looking at a teenage girl in love at first glance.

‘Oh look at this?’

Ray, noticing something in his appearance, made a false statement.

A sinister smile hung on his lips.

“Do you really need magic to set fire to the village? I thought it would be easier to throw a torch into it than to use magic that consumes mana.”

Isn’t it quite a bit of selfishness that Sonya was put on the side of protecting the village?

Ted was taken aback.

He waved his hand and denied it.

“If Kate, the magician, protects the village, you won’t be able to escape in case of emergency.”

“It doesn’t mean you can’t use your body just because you’re a wizard, right? This isn’t about catching some kind of dragon, so what’s the point of not being able to run away from an orc? Besides, there will be villagers, so I can easily deal with one or two orcs.”

Driven into a corner by his questioning, Ted lowered his head.

“That’s right… If that’s the case, then you’ll need to change your strategy…”

He’s a man who really enjoys teasing.

Ray shook his head.

If you give a bottle, it is the doctor who has to give the medicine.

Ray, who never forgot his duty as a doctor, gave him a carrot after whipping him.

“There is no need to change. If you can reliably set fire to the orc village from a distance, I think it’s right for Kate to go to the village.”

Ted, who found a way to live with just one word, speaks plainly.

“yes. I thought so too. That’s why he needed Kate.”

People say that falling in love makes a fool, and that must have been about Ted.

He, who had been sullen until just a moment ago, regained his energy in an instant.

I smiled at the innocent look.

* * *

As soon as the day dawned, the carriage moved.

After four more hours, a small village appears in the distance.

It is a village with a long history within the kingdom of Silia, but few people live there.

It looks quite secluded.

Upon entering the village, what you see are several houses that look like they need repair and the residents with nervous faces.

Among them, a man with a body like a bear approached Ray and his party.

“What have you come for? If you are visiting an inn, I would not recommend it.”

“I came after receiving a request from the guild. I heard that monsters haunt this place. Are you the village chief?”

The man’s expression brightens a little when he hears that he has come to solve the request.

“Yes, I am the village chief. It’s not like this, you should bring it inside. Come on in.”

We entered the village following the guide of the village headman who welcomed us.

Ray said after looking around for a moment.

“It’s different from the houses I saw earlier, isn’t it fine here?”

“…It’s the orcs. From one day, they started to come in, and eventually they even plundered.”

“Plunder?”

“Whoa… I’m ashamed of myself for living while being plundered by monsters.”

Ray frowned at the village chief’s words.

Okra is not without intelligence.

Even mere goblins know what happens when they touch a human, so they don’t loot villages proudly.

However, if you listen to the story now, it seems that they are very proudly attacking the village in broad daylight.

Since there are no natural ogres around, he is acting as a king.

It was really arrogant.

‘I’m less educated.’

He caught the monster’s presence from afar.
