Episode 52. How to paralyze your tail (1)
Shiny.
“….”
Anise stared at the necklace in her hand. And I thought. I’m glad I don’t have to sell this. I’m so glad I was able to meet the crown prince before I ran out of travel expenses to last in the imperial capital.
‘Everyone, just wait a moment.’
People urged me to sell this necklace to raise money for travel expenses if necessary. I thought of them. I was reminded of what I had to do for them. I steeled my resolve and put the necklace in my arms.
And then I looked up.
The Crown Prince’s office. It was an antique and gorgeous interior that I had never seen before. But what caught her eye was a simple, white piece of paper.
“It’s an employment contract. Read it carefully.”
The crown prince said, holding out a piece of paper.
“A contract…?”
“If you want to work, of course you have to write a contract. is not it?”
“….”
Anise picked up the contract.
The content was more complex and extensive than expected. You will be working as a nurse at the villa. You will need to undergo a certain training course to prepare for the job. What are the working hours from what time to what time.
The amount and form of salary, as well as the right to be guaranteed. Other important and miscellaneous details were clearly written down.
“…Okay.”
“why? “Is the contract too complicated?”
“It’s a bit like that, Your Majesty.”
“are you okay. That’s what a contract is. It’s complicated and gives me a headache. However, if you carefully consider and point out things like this, you won’t regret it later and think, “Oh, I did something stupid back then.”
“…yes?”
“Please read the contract carefully.”
Rakiel spoke sincerely.
Just like now, before signing a contract, it is important. Once you sign, you’re done. If you later find out that there is something in the contract that you don’t like or that is unreasonable, it won’t work once you sign it.
‘That’s why even the special forces gladiators groaned for half a day. ‘I was thinking about looking at the contents of the contract.’
Gladiators who had no connection to complex tasks. A smile suddenly came to my mind as I remembered the image of them struggling in front of a contract. On the other hand, I felt regretful as I looked at Anise in front of me.
‘It’s a shame. It would be great if there were just a few more talented people like this.’
Anis, a werewolf woman who appeared unexpectedly. The true value of her brief glimpse was truly enormous.
‘Athletic ability… wow.’
The royal guard was crushed. It was like that even though he didn’t transform into a wolf. Moreover, the attitude towards the guard who injured his shoulder was also similar.
‘I got to the finish line and stopped. As if I couldn’t just throw it away. And then he went back to tend to the guard’s wounds. There is nothing to criticize in terms of personality. And what I like even more is that he didn’t act like a bully.’
I definitely heard it at first glance earlier. Anis, who had suddenly stepped on the brakes before the finish line, cursed as if she were being yelled at. At the same time, I saw a very fierce and murderous smile on his face.
That was definitely….
‘It was an expression on his face that showed how to take revenge on the royal guard.’
It was certain.
What if I just go back and take care of the guards? I am confident that I can win again if I run again later. And the anticipation and excitement of being able to relieve a lot of pain when adjusting the guard’s missing shoulder. It was an expression where all those calculations came together.
‘okay. Even if you’re like me, you can’t stand revenge.’
Moreover, the execution ability to put it into action without hesitation. This means that it is not a flaccid pufferfish. It couldn’t be better.
‘Even among the patients, there are many hidden truths. Especially the type of people who look down on nurses and abuse them. If people like that get caught by this woman… it will be worth seeing.’
Passed in both physical strength and personality.
A personality that is not soft.
Plus, you have an excellent sense of smell.
This woman in front of him was the ideal nurse he had hoped for. That’s why… it was disappointing.
‘It’s great that such a talented person was discovered. Phew. Now that I’m looking at it like this, I’m getting more greedy.’
It’s a shame that there is only one best nurse. I wish there were more. This was because he implemented open recruitment of nurses.
‘Choosing the best nurse? That’s good too. But now, it is more necessary to recruit as many excellent nurses as possible.’
That way, there will be no shortage of workers at the Byeongung Oriental Medical Clinic. But that was then. Anise, who had been contemplating looking at the contract, looked up. He opened his mouth in this direction with something solemn.
“I have read the contract you presented carefully.”
“how is it?”
“great. Just-”
“Just?”
“It will be difficult to sign a contract like this.”
“…hmm?”
What does this mean again?
Anise continued.
“I like the content of the contract itself. However, there is one thing I would like to add.”
“You want to add conditions?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“What conditions?”
“Actually, I am the leader of my group.”
“swarm? “A leader?”
“yes. “We are a medium-sized clan of about 50 people.”
“They also want to take the nurse exam? Please bring me here right away.”
“….”
“Oh, isn’t that it?”
“yes.”
“….”
“If you add the conditions I propose as a special clause to the contract, I will sign the contract and my family will also take the nurse exam.”
“Special provisions? So what are the conditions you are offering?”
Rachiel leaned forward. There are 50 people from a clan similar to Anise.
‘I can’t stand 50 S-class nurses!’
If that’s the case, there’s nothing more to ask for. What if we could recruit all of those people? You can also make grandjeol on the spot right here.
Thinking like that, Rakiel pricked up his ears. Anis stated her conditions.
“Please solve the inherent problems that plague our clan.”
“….”
“majesty?”
“Oh yeah. It’s an inherent problem. It must have been difficult. But I have no idea what it is. “Isn’t it a food problem or something?”
“That’s not it.”
“then?”
“It’s a tail.”
“…tail?”
“yes.”
What a tail.
What does that mean?
Anise continued.
“To begin with, we, the werewolf clan, suffer numerous disadvantages in human society because of our tails.”
“why? Are you being teased or something like that because of the shape of your tail?”
“That’s not it.”
“if?”
“Because the tail… moves as it pleases.”
“Arbitrarily?”
“yes.”
“Is it like dogs’ tails wagging automatically?”
“That is correct.”
Anise nodded.
Her expression darkened.
“The tail moves randomly depending on the mood. “When it encounters something fearful, it hides its tail, and when it is happy or excited, it shakes it so clearly.”
“Is that… bad?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“Because I can’t hide my emotions.”
“…ah.”
Rakiel slapped his knee without realizing it. They say they can’t hide their emotions because of their tails. The numerous problems that would arise from that alone came to mind.
“Then you’ve probably been treated like an easy breadwinner for human fraudsters. “Because of that tail.”
“you’re right. “Because their emotions are clearly revealed, they become easy targets for many people to deceive.”
Anise smiled bitterly. Rachiel seemed to know the meaning of that smile.
‘When you’re in a good mood or excited, your tail wags a lot. That’s why you can’t hide your happy feelings. In a way, you could say it’s good because it’s honest. But… The world where people live… is not such an easy flower garden.’
Suddenly, I thought of Korea. It reminded me of the social life there. The days were like survival in the jungle.
A good person? Although he received praise from those around him, he was likely to be taken advantage of at some point. Who is too honest because they are not good at hiding their emotions? They often became pushovers or outcasts.
‘Sorrow is halved when shared, and joy grows when shared? ‘That’s ridiculous.’
My sadness, hastily shared with others, becomes my weakness. What joy do I freely share with others? What may seem like praise and applause on the outside actually brings resentment and envy. It will only increase your potential enemies.
‘Besides, if you think about living without being able to hide your happy feelings… whew, that must be a chance for con artists to win the restaurant life.’
The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it wouldn’t be a normal, painful life. But what if the entire species had tails like that? What if you live without being able to hide your emotions?
“So you’re covering your tail with those baggy pants?”
“…Yes, that’s right. But even so, the tail movements are so violent that I don’t want them to, so I’m in a situation where I can’t hide my happy feelings.”
“Even if I tie my tail to my leg?”
“It will be resolved quickly.”
“how?”
“The tail unties itself.”
“…Is it local autonomy muscle?”
“Yes, probably.”
“Then what about cutting off the tail?”
“I tried, but it wasn’t possible.”
“why?”
“When I cut off the tail, it affected the tendons in my hips and legs, so I couldn’t walk properly. Daily life was impossible. Moreover, it started playing again in less than a month.”
“A tail? “It grew back?”
“yes. “It might look like a lizard.”
“….”
“So please, Your Highness. I heard that you treat numerous patients without discrimination. Actually, I came here expecting that. Please heal our tail. “If you will, my family and I will gladly become nurses here for your Majesty.”
“….”
Tsk.
How do I treat a tail that doesn’t work even if I tie it or cut it? Rakiel felt at a loss as she faced a patient for the first time.
‘Isn’t this angle a little off?’
I was embarrassed. So, I suggested an alternative that I came up with.
“How about I become your social guardian?”
“What do you mean by that…?”
“I will become the social guardian of the clan with the status and authority of the crown prince. In short, we will prevent them from being scammed or suffering various disadvantages while living in society.”
That would be enough. What crazy conman in the world would mess with those whom the crown prince supports as his guardian?
Rakiel thought his suggestion was quite plausible. That was until Anise shook her head.
“That’s a good thing, but I decline.”
“…why?”
“Because it is not a fundamental solution.”
“Tsk.”
“You know, right? If something goes wrong with the Crown Prince or if he changes his mind… our clan will return to the same situation as before. No, it will be worse than before. You will have to go back to living your life as before, paying attention to what others think, while retaining the memories of living proudly in human society with the support of Your Majesty. That’s probably even worse.”
“….”
“I don’t want that kind of ending. “I did not come to you hoping for a temporary solution.”
“You want a fundamental solution?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Whew. “Okay, I got it.”
“Are you sure you will accept it?”
“What should I do if I accept it?”
“How to do it…?”
“To be honest, I don’t know yet. “Can’t we think about it a bit more from now on?”
“…All right.”
Anise nodded.
The conditions he presented were extremely difficult. She knew that fact best herself. What if the crown prince pounded his chest and boasted something like ‘that’s easy’? Rather, I would have been disappointed.
‘This crown prince is honest.’
Although it is difficult and difficult, the crown prince says he will try to find a way. I trusted that honest attitude.
“Then I will wait for your contact.”
“Oh yeah. “Don’t go anywhere else, just stay at the villa.”
“Is that okay?”
“I passed the exam, so I have that level of qualification.”
Rakiel grinned. I wanted to hold on to Anis even in this way. Even after she left, I felt the same way.
‘and. It would be such a shame to miss this.’
The best nurse. Plus, a set menu for up to 50 clan members with similar abilities. If I missed this, I felt like I would hit the ground and regret it forever. I never wanted to miss it.
But how to catch them?
‘What on earth should I do with the tail?’
A tail that cannot be tied or cut. How can we stop that strange and embarrassing local autonomy muscle tail? To be honest, I was very confused.
So it was.
Even after dinner, I continued to think about it throughout the rest of the evening, but I couldn’t come up with a sharp number. But maybe it was because I was frowning all evening because of those worries.
Lord Gardin, who could not see anything, opened his mouth.
“…Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“Oh, Mr. It’s a surprise.”
“Then you can’t!”
“Are you doing this on purpose?”
“No!”
“Then what is it? “What else are you dissatisfied with?”
“If you frown too much, stress will build up in your body and this will lead to various diseases.”
“I feel like I’m always so surprised because of that person that I end up with an illness I never knew existed.”
“No, Your Highness.”
“Why did you decide that it wasn’t the case?”
“Besides, if you keep squinting, you will get wrinkles, Your Majesty.”
“You’re not even listening to my answer, are you?”
“I am listening carefully, Your Majesty.”
“You’re only good at answering questions like this, right?”
“No, Your Highness.”
“No, it doesn’t matter. “That’s right.”
“Do you do it, Your Highness?”
“uh. why.”
“Once you have wrinkles, you can’t erase them, so I think you should still keep your look straight.”
“is it.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Tsk. “But thanks to you, I feel better.”
“yes?”
“No, it’s just like that.”
Rakiel grinned.
Now that I think about it, I was really just frowning all evening. Maybe that’s why I felt like I couldn’t digest what I ate for dinner. Perhaps it was because he noticed such a sign that Sir Gardin stepped forward like that.
‘It’s obvious that you’re deliberately trying to make me feel better, so I’m embarrassed and grateful.’
Sir Gardin is a very good person. Rachiel felt grateful to him.
So it was.
Thanks to you, I felt like I had let go of my worries for a while. Or, I said to Lord Gardin as if I was joking with a young uncle in the neighborhood.
“are you okay. What happens if you get wrinkles? “You can get fillers or Botox.”
“yes?”
Sir Gardin tilted his head.
“Filler… Botox… what is that?”
Of course you don’t know.
Because it was in Korea.
“There is such a thing. Excellent for improving and preventing wrinkles….”
He said with a grin. Then, without realizing it, I stopped.
‘uh?’
wrinkle improvement? Prevention? Thanks to you… something came to mind.
‘for a moment.’
Flashes in my head.
The idea that came to mind was Kwasik.
It took root in the brain folds of the frontal lobe. It sprouted leaves and stretched out stems and branches. A difficult problem that plunged us into a swamp of worry all evening. A way to stop the local muscle tail of the werewolf clan. The secret to its sudden flowering at last is…
‘Botox acupuncture.’
…This is it.
Rakiel clenched his fists.
