To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 262
Episode 262 Completion of the Spirit of the Word
Three months passed again in the valley.
Now that I have gotten used to the language, there was no great difficulty in using it.
When the sculpture is complete, Aira glances at it and smiles broadly.
“The finished look isn’t worse than I thought.”
“It’s because the target is good.”
“Whoop whoop. Well, this is enough to be considered a passing grade as a disciple. Shall I give you one final assignment?”
Aira erased her smile and said.
“Mana is all things, and all things can also be called mana. If so, I’ll ask. All things return as one, but where does the remaining one go?”
After thinking about the question for a while, Ray answered with a smile.
“The remaining one is also just mana, so there is no need to be vigilant. One will again make a thousand, and ten thousand will become one again.”
As if she liked his answer, she smiled quietly as well.
In the short silence, Aira spoke proudly.
“Less than a year has passed. Honestly, I thought it would take five years, but this was unexpected. My qualities have already surpassed me, so time will solve what I lack.”
For some reason, her words, which marked the end of her training life, made me feel new.
Ruins of many things that have happened so far and dazzlingly beautiful waterfalls.
Ray, who had been keeping his gaze on the scenery of mountain birds playing here and there for a while, looked at Aira and said.
“…thank you so far.”
She scratched her nose in embarrassment.
“Because I feel uncomfortable when you are in danger like before. Just think of it as something I was greedy for.”
“I will.”
“No, well… that’s true, but efficiency doesn’t go up without a reward.”
“……?”
“The word ‘reward’.”
it’s a reward
What are you talking about?
Ray rummaged through his pockets, looking for something.
However, if dust came out, it came out, but there was no way money would come out.
Aira, who had seen that scene, sighed and took a step closer.
“You’re a dull guy like an ogre.”
As she was small in size and held in her arms, a faint fruity scent wafted out.
Ray, guessing her intentions, just silently surrendered.
* * *
At Aira’s request, he acquired the language and followed her.
I wondered where I wanted to go, but I shut my mouth when I saw her silently walking through the remote forest.
After a long walk, we arrived at a nameless hill.
A huge tree is making shade on the hill.
Looking at the tombstone with the two rings hanging from it, Aira said.
“The master who taught me magic.”
Since I had told many of Master’s stories so far, I guessed roughly.
She cut off the two hanging rings.
“Someday, if you have a disciple, I told you to take the ring. I never dreamed that this day would come.”
The wooden ring was rugged, but for some reason it lacked elegance.
Ray looked at it quietly and asked.
“Are you okay?”
Elves value nature very much.
The two rings were made of wood, but at a glance you could tell that they were made by carving raw wood.
The question was whether it would be okay to accept it.
Ira guessed his thoughts and nodded.
“Teacher and disciple have a relationship like one life. The life that is conceived is created from other beings, so it is not pleasant, but there is no reason not to be involved.”
Ray had a slightly brighter face.
“I’m glad. I didn’t think it was forced on.”
“Whoop whoop. I want to be forced into it.”
She lifted the ring and took Ray’s hand.
As they exchange rings on their hands that look like white jade, smiles bloom on their faces.
“It’s as if we were married.”
His long ears turn red as if he was embarrassed even after he spoke.
Looking at it like this, there was a very cute corner.
* * *
After a long time, we finally came down the mountain.
After parting with Aira in the elven village, he headed home after almost a year.
I didn’t know, so I made a word in advance, but at this much time, I’m sure you’re worried.
Around the time when I was passing through the woods with my rucksack on my shoulder, worn out from the hard life.
Lacia ran from afar.
“Brother!”
As the anger poured out, Ray waved his hand casually.
“how have you been doing?”
“I haven’t been! Where the hell are you and what are you doing that you don’t come home so late!”
“I came after swimming in the water and touching some rocks.”
When the incomprehensible answer came back, Lacia sighed in resignation.
“Haa… So, was swimming for a year worthwhile?”
Reward?
It was full and full.
Unlike before when mana could not be used, now it creates mana as if creating something out of nothing.
It was like producing mana in a very factory.
When I smile without replying, she shakes her head.
“My father is eager to punish my brother. There will be a lot of fuss when you get home.”
It was a pleasant sound to hear.
He also wanted to test what he had newly acquired, so sparring would be the icing on the cake.
“Then let’s hurry.”
In order to be scolded (?) by Ray, he quickened his steps.
As Lacia had said, Ale’s anger fell as soon as she arrived home.
“This guy! Where the hell have you been! How dare you make this father worry!”
Of course, Ale was worried.
However, the period of worrying was only about half a day in the beginning.
Knowing that he would come back alive wherever he went, he sipped tea and enjoyed a sweet life with Sae-in.
Right now, this was just an excuse to scold the son who lost mana.
‘Even if you run, it’s not in my palm, you bastard. Hehehe.’
Dreaming of sweet revenge for what happened in the past, Ale pretended to be stern.
“Since Lacia has an example, I can’t just skip today.”
“Do I really have to do that? Things in Seongguk were difficult, so you might have wanted to break away for a while.”
Sein tried to dissuade him, but it was useless for Eil, who had already eaten to his heart’s content.
“It is the role of parents to correct the deviations of their children.”
Of course, it was the sea that Ray wanted.
“Please give me a prickly lesson.”
As such, words are always clearing water.
Her willpower is still weak, but now she is able to handle the spirit of speech freely while receiving instruction from Aira.
Sein and Lacia looked at each other anxiously, but the outcome was already decided before it even started.

said Ale, holding a wooden sword.
“If you apologize for making a mistake even now, I will take special care of the circumstances. ha ha ha.”
Despite the childish words, Ray’s attitude was stubborn.
It’s natural that I had no intention of losing in the first place.
Instead of answering, he took out a wooden sword and Ale also straightened his posture.
“It’s been a while since you and your father and son are spending quality time together.”
“It reminds me of the old days and it’s nice.”
“Come first. I will give you that much.”
In Dalian, attacking first is about half the advantage.
Knowing that Ray lost mana, he must have given him a handicap.
However, the thought of thinking of his son now became a considerable handshake.
Ira would have shook her head if she had seen that you were giving up the first attack to the user of the language.
Ray drew his finger down without even taking a stance.
“Cut it off.”
The sweet voice rings the son-in-law.
Language, which had no power, has a will and eventually becomes a language.
The sword made from the heart cut through Eil’s wooden sword like a piece of paper. As soon as
the
wooden sword he was holding in his hand became a piece of wood, Eil laughed absurdly as he lost his will to fight.
“Somehow, the more he goes out, the stronger he gets.”
Before even starting the sparring, Ale let go of the sword.
I can’t even fight with this.
No matter how many times you try, the result will be the same.
“Is that why you haven’t come back for a year?”
“Because it’s not as simple as taking your time and doing it more than it looks.”
He laughs and talks mischievously, but there is a lot of hardship hidden in it.
By this point, the desire to scold had long since run away.
Now, instead of scolding her, she just wanted to praise her for being proud.
Ale patted Ray on the shoulder and encouraged him.
“I like the attitude of trying to solve it yourself even though you said you lost mana. I will not scold you any more.”
“Thank you for noticing.”
Ray bowed his head, looked at the broken wooden sword, and asked a sneak peek.
“Hmmmm… but can I do that too?”
It is a look of hope.
When Ray answered that it would be possible someday if he endured the pain of drowning dozens of times and sharpened his thoughts, Ale immediately frowned.
“I am anxious to die.”
It wasn’t completely wrong because it was to feel the mana in the survival instinct.

A guest is currently visiting Viscount Gade.
Viscount Gade bowed his head to her as she stood impatiently at the entrance accompanied by numerous knights and troops.
“Welcome, Princess Celestia.”
“Thank you for the sudden visit, Viscount Gade.”
“no. Rather, it is just an honor for the princess to visit my estate in person.”
“You must have heard His Majesty the King speak about the reason for my visit.”
Viscount Gade nodded.
I dare not say anything in front of the princess, but the reason she came was because of the wedding talk.
To find a saint somewhere here and get married.
That was the reason why she, as a princess, came to the territory of a foreign noble.
“I’m sorry, but I want Viscount Gade to release the troops to find him.”
Even if it wasn’t the princess’s request, it was after he had already received a personal letter from the king.
If he refused, it was judged as disobeying the king’s order and punishment could not be avoided.
“It is natural to cooperate with the royal family’s affairs as a servant. Princess Celestia, please put your mind at ease.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“You must be tired from coming today, so I will guide you to a private room.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
As the viscount glanced at him, a lady-in-waiting on the other side approached and guided them.
With the princess and the escort knights gone, Viscount Gade was left alone in the war.
Princess Celestia’s visit to the Viscounty.
What this meant was by no means small.
It means that the kingdom of Celia decides and pushes ahead with the marriage, so if the finish goes well, the estate will prosper, and if it doesn’t, the responsibility will be overturned.
I had no desire to miss an opportunity that suddenly came to me.
“Since Illisia is also there, it just went well. Can you properly apologize for what happened last time?”
