To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 24

Episode 24 Village of the Elves (7)

Before he knew it, his daily routine started taking care of Aira.

Having been allowed to stay out by his parents, he had nothing to worry about.

At first, Sae-in said no because she was worried, but when she appealed with sincerity, she eventually gave her permission.

Unlike Sein, Ale had no worries.

“I haven’t heard of any monsters that could threaten him around here. It’s just an orc at best. Well, there are elves around, but it’s safe as long as the elves don’t try to catch him in groups.”

Ray was stunned at the last word, but kept his complexion and packed his things.

Leaving the house with books, food, and clothes to wear, Ray moved to the elven village as usual.

I hid the things I had brought and headed for Pia’s house.

Before he knew it, he became friendly with other elves and greeted them like a local elf.

Pia’s eyes lifted slightly at that, but she just thought so too.

Ray, who spent the morning chatting with Pia for a while, hurriedly went back when lunch was over.

She waved her hand, puzzled.

Lay, who climbed the tree with her hidden belongings and struggled, reached Aira’s house and was exhausted.

“Hey… heck… I can’t move anymore…”

He must have been lying there for 20 minutes.

“I’ll have to bring a little bit next time.”

It was difficult to climb a tree to bring it all at once.

Before entering the house, he filled the small wooden barrel he had prepared with water.

This is because a wooden barrel could hold more water than a gourd made of leaves.

Once inside, he carefully wiped Aira as before.

I had to wipe her almost as if I was hugging her as I was wiping by myself.

Ray, who was holding her up from the front and wiping her back, nodded as she looked at her back, which had improved considerably from the beginning.

At this rate, the wounds on the back will be completely healed in about two weeks.

After carefully wiping it off, Ray put Aira back on her side and leaned against the wall.

In his hand was a book he had taken out of his luggage bag.

Although it is a book about the plants of another world.

Now that I had made up my mind, it was time to study about it.

It was a book with basic herbs, edible herbs, and poisonous herbs, but he looked intently.

It was a concentration that could come out because I knew that such small knowledge should be gathered to become a big knowledge.

While reading a book like that, I prayed for Aira to correct her posture. Some evening the sun had set.

When it became dark enough to see nothing in the room, Ray put down the book he was reading.

Then he just spread it around and lay down.

If you light a fire to read a book or use magic, the elves will soon find out.

So in the evening, I had no choice but to sleep.

The life of one day ended and the next continued like that.

Books piled up around Ray in his repetitive life.

Originally, I had intended to bring books from home, but there were quite a few books in her house.

That is also true of many types of books.

Fortunately, there were also medical books, so Ray could enjoy reading without worrying about taking care of Aira.

Gradually, books piled high around him.

* * *

After this week, as he thought, Aira’s back was completely healed.

Thanks to the good treatment and the water mixed with the healing magic, the scars did not fade either.

After reading every book worth reading, it became a daily routine for Ray to talk to Aira.

“I drank tea with Pia today. It was my first time making tea with an elf, and it was very bland.”

“I read in a book that there is a flower called Diher. Those are the flowers in the yard, right?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. who drew this? did you draw I can’t draw very well.”

She was still lying down, but she preferred being listened to rather than talking to herself.

I could have gone outside and talked to the elves, but somehow I was more attracted to talking to her than talking to her.

Of course, no answer came.

Even so, he would talk to her while wiping her body, complaining about the high bookshelf, and tempering her while eating delicious food.

“Ira! I saw an orc on the way today! Wow, the face really looks like a pig. Oh, don’t you think there’s no such thing as a pig here?”

“Wash your body clean and go. I can’t tell you how dirty it was when I first cleaned it.”

“The pond doesn’t overflow even when it rains. Did you put some kind of magic on it?”

It wasn’t even something I had to say.

I just told her every day what I thought about or saw once in my life.

It was awkward at first, but now it has become a pleasure for Ray.

Ray rarely went out except for a few trips to the house.

So far, no one has visited this house.

The morning dawned and Ray washed Aira again and relaxed her muscles in preparation for when she woke up.

It is not possible to exercise, but it is possible to prevent degeneration of the muscles to some extent by rubbing the muscles.

After taking care of Aira, Rey did her own thing.

I did a lot of housekeeping in her house, such as hanging out the laundry, doing silent magic in the pond, and washing myself.

A month passed like that.

* * *

In the Great War prepared as a VIP room, there were Iriel and two priests.

The two priests, who knelt down and bowed their heads, could not raise their heads at the sight of her eyes.

“…Where is the saint?”

Iriel looked down at the priests with cold eyes.

“The contingent has been sent across the campaign, so news will come soon! We are looking all over the Kingdom of Celia, centering on the upper and lower squads, so it’s only a matter of time before we find the saint!”

“Yes. Time is an issue. I must have said my patience wasn’t all that great.”

“Forgive me!”

“Please ease my anger…”

Her actions were unstoppable, befitting her reputation as an agent of God.

Some of the priests even had the right to immediately dispose of her if she was judged to be a heretic.

Iriel placed his hand on the head of the priest with a unique smile.

“Let me find the saint myself.”

“…All right.”

“…”

The saintess was looking for the saint herself.

This was not a nice move.

The Kingdom of Celia will also be dissatisfied with the behavior of the Holy Kingdom moving in and out of their kingdom, and they will also have a hard time responding to it.

However, it was obvious what would happen to them if they voiced their opposition now.

The saintess, who knew that fact, must have waited and finally spoke.

“Then I’ll be leaving tomorrow. As for the number of people, put in a few subordinates around the upper ranks. If you put only the Sanggyeondae, there will be a lot of backlash from the people around you.”

“All right. We’ll make sure to pack up the staff.”

“I will order that.”

Seeing them lower their heads again, Iriel murmured.

“I can finally see the saint.”

* * *

“Huh?”

Lay, who was watching Aira while hanging out the laundry as usual, threw the laundry at her body, which was different from before, and ran.

A week ago, it was a little strange, but there were no symptoms, so I was worried about it.

Ray was taken aback by the sudden change in her.

The sound of her breathing, which was weaker than before, disproved that her breath was stopping.

If breathing stopped here without a respirator, it meant irreversible death.

“What do we do? If you inject mana into it and force it to breathe… it won’t work. If you let go, it’s the same as dying.”

In a brief moment, dozens of ways to treat patients with respiratory distress symptoms came to mind and then disappeared.

All because they had to have modern medical equipment.

“Don’t die, Aira!”

He talks to her with anxious eyes.

We haven’t had a conversation in a little over a month, and we’ve never seen each other in the eye, but it seems like we’ve fallen in love with each other.

The thought of her dying brought a sense of desperation.

Among the books I read for a month, I thought of hundreds of medicines to keep my breath alive, and herbal prescriptions also crossed my mind.

When the tremendous concentration and memorization power were combined, all the knowledge came to mind like a person who specialized in herbalism.

I couldn’t write one now.

It seemed that she would run out of breath while picking herbs.

In a situation where time suddenly came and time was running out, Ray chewed his nails.

“why. why. What the hell is wrong with you? It’s not even an addiction. No trauma. The vital organs are functioning as well.”

There was no time to ponder why his condition suddenly deteriorated.

What is needed now is a way to fix her in an instant.

‘Can I fix it in an instant?’

At those words, there was a method that passed through Ray’s head.
