To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 238
Episode 238 Preparation for Departure (3)
“If it’s wood, it’s ready. The young chief said until morning, but it would be better to finish it quickly. How about that one?”
“If it’s halfway here, it’s done.”
Contrary to the answer, the voice has no power.
“You look bad for something like that. Surely there must be something wrong?”
He nodded his head at the gentle question.
“I am concerned about the size of the ship I am trying to build. A ship this big will be crushed as soon as it hits the waves.”
“Hmm… I’m sure it’s overly loud, but I can’t help it. Because the whole family has to ride it.”
Hael, who was carefully handling the finished steel plates, said.
“Don’t worry too much. It’s good to work hard like now, but taking a breather and thinking from a distance will also be a good way.”
It seems that the empty smile somehow brings some composure.
When there is no answer, she continues.
“It is dangerous but unavoidable, everyone knows. There is no proper countermeasure, so we have no choice but to confront it.”
“Well that’s it.”
“So… what do you think the odds of going through the waves with a boat this big?”
After thinking for a moment about her sincere question, he raised a finger.
“I guess it will work.”
Let’s do the work…
The odds of risking the life of the clan are absurdly small.
“That sounds impossible.”
“To be honest, it gave me a lot to do. There is no guarantee that a ship will withstand the waves, and even if it does, no one has learned about the material. There is no time to build more boats.”
In the present situation, which is more serious than expected, Hael’s complexion also darkened.
However, it was only for an instant.
I quickly erased my expression and started looking for other countermeasures.
“…how far would it go if you spread the wood thick and wide and connect it like a bridge to freeze the sea?”
At her words, Ray turned his head to one side.
A sound leaked out of his mouth: ‘Do you want to be made into dough like that?’
“How long do you sleep and will it be crushed as soon as you freeze it? Right now, there is only one way to build a boat.”
“I’m embarrassed. We need to discuss it right now.”
“If a good solution comes out, let me know right away. In the meantime, I will lay down the frame to build the boat.”
At his words, Hael looked at him with worried eyes.
“Will you be okay by yourself?”
“Alone?”
His eyes changed to those of someone who had heard that a dog was talking to a person.
When I look around, I see several young men who are treated like slaves without the mark of a slave.
As Ray whistled and waved his hands, they came running so fast that their eyelids fluttered.
“Did you call him hehehe!”
“I need to build a boat soon, so gather some more kids and bring some wood.”
“All right!”
Like the undead that follow the orders of the lich, they kneel down to their knees in a loyal appearance and run straight to somewhere.
Hael was dumbfounded when the children of the clan she had loved so far became obedient bastards overnight.
“Ho you are not alone.”
“We have to work together.”
Sitting on a wooden barrel with his legs crossed and enjoying the sea breeze shows the extreme of disagreement between words and actions.
She sighed and shook her head.
“Please, work hard.”
“Of course not. For now, I’m tired from the fatigue of the past, so I’m just taking a little rest.”
The mouth is clearing, as if it were oiled.
With his natural virtuous appearance, she was very curious as to which one of Sein or Ale resembled this child.

Inside the village, discussions between the leaders continued.
After carrying Elder Meird, who was rolling to one side in a lump, to the bed, they raised their voices and exchanged opinions about the current serious situation.
The first to comment was Kairin, the only female elder besides Hael.
she said with a furrowed brow.
“You make a boat and cross the sea! If everyone is swallowed up by the waves, what are you going to do after that!”
Then, a different opinion emerged from the other side of Kairin.
“Then are there other ways? I bet you wouldn’t tell me to build a bridge and cross it.”
Hael was taken aback by the elder’s words.
“It’s not like that! What I want to say is the danger of the ship as a means!”
She opens the window herself and points to the sea.
Waves that look ferocious at first glance threaten the Yeonsin coast, which is enough to make the hamstrings tingle for most people.
“For the whole family to ride, the boat must be made large. The bigger the ship, the stronger the waves on the ship. A wave of that size will break the shell as soon as it hits, and eventually everyone will die.”
“It’s a little too much to say.”
Her voice sank even further as the other elder expressed her discomfort.
“As a test, try launching a small boat. How long do you think the ship will last? one minute? No, it will be shattered in thirty seconds.”
“Umm…”
“Yes, but we have no other choice. Isn’t it unknown what will happen if the waterway is closed?”
“I don’t know what it will be, but it will be better than dying. What I’m trying to say is that going on a boat is bound to be dangerous. Aren’t we discussing it to avoid danger in the first place?”
The elders who objected to her words, which had a point, also nodded in affirmation.
“…You’re right.”
“Even Elder Vaughn was reluctant to go on a boat.”
This situation made Hael upset.
A boat is already being built, and Ray also said that the only way to go outside is to board a boat.
But now that opinions are starting to diverge, it’s frustrating and it’s driving me crazy.
‘My butt hurts. I fully understand that you are worried about the future, but there is no progress like this.’
Now that the majority of the elders have objected to boarding, it is also difficult to disagree.
In the end, the meeting of the day had to end like that.
* * *
Ray, who heard the story from Hael, sighed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Huh, so you’re saying you’re against riding a boat? Come now?”
“okay.”
“No, what happened? Weren’t you sure we were discussing to come up with a countermeasure?”
How could the conversation proceed with such a worst-case scenario!
As soon as I tried to run over and start a physical conversation, Hael calmly continued.
“It was like that halfway through.”
“What happened? It’s usually unheard of for the elders who were in favor to turn their backs on me so quickly.”
“Because of fear. The fear of failure of the means of the ship is the chain around their ankles.”
“oh my.”
He rubbed his forehead and let out an exclamation.
It’s hard to find a proper elder, perhaps because this is a timid order of elders.
At first, I was tired of acting uncontrollably, and now I’m tired of the bird’s chest that I can’t even get on the boat because I’m afraid.
Is the lineage of a hero a formidable hero?
A child who is just starting to play will be braver than them.
The hand holding the hammer to hit the iron plate was drained of strength.
‘I guess I’ll have to step out myself.’
If I keep going like this, I will only wave my hand from the outside of the island, let alone accompany them.
He stopped banging on the iron plate and stood up.
“You know even if you don’t speak Iriel, right?”
Iriel trembled at the atmosphere he had become accustomed to in the Holy Land.
“Are you entrusting me again? You’re taking on troublesome tasks again!”
Iriel, who gave instructions to the surroundings on his behalf, spoke with an exhausted expression.
“If you don’t like me, please say no. Please don’t bother me anymore.”
“You give the ugly one another rice cake and beat the pretty one every time.”
“I’d rather hate you.”
Even as he said so, he sat down for him and soon grasped the hammer with his right hand.
It may be physically difficult because all you have to do is hit the iron plate, but it does not require any particular skill.
Iriel, whose lips protruded, muttered something, but those convenient ears that only listened to nice words blocked all words that were unfavorable to the owner before they entered the auricle.
While tidying up the area around the river, he said to Hael.
“song.”
Stunned by him, she asks.
“Where are you talking about?”
“Let’s go talk again.”
“Are you sure you want to go to the mound?”
Hael, who had the same eyes as a young woman facing a bandit for the first time in the world, said without hiding her surprise.
Then he responds calmly in a dry tone.
“Whether it’s a mound or a piece of wood, I have to go and solve it first. It’s a bit difficult to say with my mouth, but there’s never been a time when I had a conversation and it wasn’t resolved.”
I was embarrassed to say it myself, so I twisted my body and said it.
Of course.
Until now, whenever we had a conversation, we always started by eliminating one or two people, so it was inevitable that it would not work out.
Thinking of fists as a means of communication, he doesn’t seem to care.
No, on the contrary, it makes you look bold.
Hael paused for a while before speaking.
“No one will welcome you. Does it matter anyway?”
I nod my head and answer.
“does not matter.”
Except for my family, I can count on one hand the memories that someone welcomed me in my life anyway.
Since it was not expected or desired, the psychological damage is infinitely close to zero.
“…i get it. I’ll arrange my meeting. If the attitude of the elders is a little perverse, understand.”
Ray nodded at Hael’s words.
A man who is always generous with himself and knows how to be tolerant, but around him, he is nothing more than a petit bourgeois who never forgets the past and brings it back, knocking on his chest.
“I hate people who bring up the past.”
She glanced over at Ray.

Early in the morning, the meeting was held again under Hael’s arrangement.
The elders, whose faces were clearly tired, asked with a sullen expression.
“Is there a problem?”
“Again, if you intend to meddle in the affairs of the clan, you should stop. I’m sure you won’t hear anything good.”
At the moment Hael was about to say something, Ray opened his mouth.
“Since there is no time, let’s talk about the main topic. Why can’t I get on the boat?”
Each of them, clearing their throat at his direct question and expressing their feelings, comes up with an answer.
“That’s why it’s so dangerous. It would take a boat that big to get the whole family out of the island, but if that happens, it’s likely to be broken by the waves. What kind of idiot would go out to sea even if he knew he was a limb?”
A sneering sneer blooms on his lips.
They were belittling those who were trying to get out on a boat.
He firmly shook his head in denial.
“You can’t go outside without taking risks.”
“It’s God’s will, so I’ll have to go outside, but there’s no reason to insist on the boat.”
“exactly. If you really want to go, you and I can take a boat. I think the rowing look suits you very well.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Ray couldn’t stand it at their words full of laughter.
“What do you do after putting your head down? The waves become more intense as time goes by, and the only way to come out is to cross the sea, so how are you going to get out of the island?”
“That’s something to think about from now on.”
“If we can discuss it and come up with an idea, we might be able to go out in a safer way.”
He burst out laughing at the words.
“Because it was talked about as a legend outside, I thought it was a great hero of the era, but now I see it is nothing more than a small person.”
The fierce accusation angered the elders.
