To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 373

Episode 373 Vitiligo (4)

Selis’ treatment started the next day.

She was completely entrusted to Ray.

Reliability was already at its peak, as the Eye of Truth, which distinguishes lies, did not respond to him.

After measuring the extent of the vitiligo lesion, Ray nodded.

If this is enough, it can be fixed.

If the melanocytes are regenerated with drugs and the range of lesions is gradually reduced, the unsightly stains will soon disappear.

Ray took the drug out of his leather pouch.

Then he applied it carefully to Celis’ skin.

“Your skin may feel itchy after applying it. Don’t ever touch me.”

“Yeah…”

She had been waiting until she could not sleep because of the treatment, but was disappointed in her heart when he saw that he was applying water to her skin.

‘Is it really better with this…’

The eyes of truth were still telling him that his words were true, but looking at his actions, I was a little suspicious.

I thought there was something wrong with the way she cast field magic with only the starter words, but it seems that her expectations were wrong.

Ray, who was aware of her intentions or not, had applied all the drugs to his skin, and got up after shaking his hands.

“It’s almost over, so you can go back. I need to see the condition, so come visit me once a day from now on.”

“…is this really the end?”

When she asked hesitantly, Ray smiled.

It seems that the treatment is not reliable.

It would be natural.

Medicine had just begun to spread, and the Dark Elves, who had relatively little contact with humans, would not have known of the existence of medicine.

“Then did you know how to use divine power? As I said before, there is a limit to fixing it with divine power. For now, this is the best.”

In the eyes of truth, there is still no reaction.

That word just now must mean the truth.

Celis, who had made a moaning sound, nodded.

“…okay. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Although they share the same house, the space between him and her is clearly divided.

She is using her right side to lay down her left side.

Also, the house is quite large.

To the extent that the expression that you have to come is right.

While tidying up her clothes, she stood up.

His face was expressionless, but the overall look of disappointment was evident.

* * *

Ray has spent the past two weeks collecting herbs that will help heal Celis.

As promised with Derp in the past, he did not bother to use mana for chores.

Mana is a mighty force.

At the same time, it is a sweet temptation that makes it possible to take care of things that need to be dealt with in an instant.

Anyone who has tasted the sweetness of mana at least once would not be able to imagine a life without using mana.

Derp had said this out of concern.

– Works that can only be created using mana can never be said to be my skill. You should be able to get out of the comfort of mana.

Ray also thought that was a valid point.

If you lean on comfort once or twice and get used to it, the time when your mind will be shaken will surely come.

Digging up the roots of herbs without damaging them without the help of mana and shaking off the soil was a much more laborious task than I thought.

In addition, the land of the elves was hard as it had not been touched by anyone for hundreds of years.

He pushed his way through the tough grass and forced his way through the hard ground.

Thanks to that, the robe turned into a muddy mess.

The Dark Elves who were looking at him frowned.

“They’re doing that to fix the curse.”

“Tsk tsk, what a futile effort.”

“How can a mere human try to fix the curse sent by heaven?”

He clicks his tongue once and goes on his way.

However, not all Dark Elves turned their backs.

Among them were the benevolent Dark Elves.

There were elves who gave away the fruit and left, and there were elves who gave Ray a mattress made of leaves as he traveled through the forest day and night.

An elderly elf with wrinkles on his face from old age approached Ray.

He came closer and bowed his back.

I put a few roots of a nameless grass in Ray’s basket of herbs.

As he looked up, the old man gave a small smile.

“It’s really nice to see people working for others. You are a human being with a good heart.

have a good heart

he shook his head.

“It is simply self-gratification.”

“The world calls it the excuse of the good and humility.”

“Isn’t the old man a kind man who shows goodwill to the different races that everyone points his finger at?”

“I just helped a few hands on the car I was doing my job.”

“What kind of elf in the world goes so far as to destroy nature by hand?”

“Why is this blue-eyed young man not willing to say a word?”

The old man who had been drooling spoke up.

“Are you trying to get rid of Celis’ curse?”

“yes.”

When he answered without hesitation, a quiet tone was heard unlike before.

“Can you fix it?”

“…”

Ray stopped digging for herbs and cast his gaze.

The old man had a stern face.

“He is a child with many scars since ancient times. If only to plant useless expectations. If it’s something you can’t promise, it’s probably better to quit at this point.”

His concern for her emanated from his voice.

It seems that there are quite a few elves in this town who feel sorry for Selis even if they don’t express it outwardly.

I thought there were only ruthless and vicious elves in the village because they tortured me so much every day.

I felt a little lucky.

But at the same time, a fishy laugh came out at the current situation.

These are the ones who have been left alone until now.

It’s just ridiculous that those who haven’t even moved their bodies for her are now starting to appear one by one.

“You mean give up? If you get disappointed, you might get hurt again.”

“Sometimes it’s better to show reality than to have false hopes. That’s what we do to help Sellis.”

He laughed at the old man’s words.

“What help is help? Are you guys qualified to say that?”

Ray looked at the old man.

“In the meantime, you all thought Sellis was pitiful. I sympathize and feel pity, but that’s all. In fact, no matter what Selis faced, there was no way to directly step forward. Even when I came home with a broken shoulder and arm, even when I was stabbed in the side, even when I was silent without a single scream. You elves sat graciously with their heavy buttocks on and just watched. But now you’re talking about Selis’ wounds as if you know all about them?”

“….”

“Shell of goodwill is worse than malice.”

Ray got up from his seat.

The dirt on the robe fell in torrents.

Her hair was greasy, and her clothes were disheveled to such an extent that even empty words could not be called tidy.

However, there was a strong presence in the blue eyes that made me forget all about it, as if looking at the vast sea.

“I know what the old man is worried about. But now the elves have no right to say anything to me. Because they threw that right into their own hands. You just asked. Can you fix it?”

Ray paused for a moment before continuing.

“I will fix it. I will fix it and tell you. Whether or not it will end in vain hope is for me to decide.”

* * *

This week and two more days have passed.

So far, no noticeable results have been seen, but Celis, who is sensitive to skin, has noticed that the white spots have slightly diminished.

“It works.”

Even though he said it, he couldn’t believe it, so he blinked his big eyes.

Even at first, I thought that the cure was simply water.

I only applied it for 15 days, but my skin was gradually changing.

‘How on earth?’

She, who had been watching his treatment so far, was locked in doubt.

He didn’t use diligent divine magic, nor did he use potions.

Even so, how should I explain that my skin is improving?

The question was not resolved, but the suspicion towards Ray quickly disappeared.

It’s a ‘curse’ that didn’t get better no matter what I did.

Although the change was insignificant to say that she had been cured yet, the fact that she had changed from before made her happy all day long.

If I keep going like this, I’m starting to see hope that I can really be completely cured.

The overflowing happiness was immediately expressed on his face.

Nothing special happened, but Ray smiled as he watched Sellis babble.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s already been fixed.”

“It’s okay to say anything. It is true that it is being fixed.”

While talking, he showed his own spots, but if someone unfamiliar saw them, they would be no different from the first ones.

It will take months for all of that to go away.

However, to an elf, a year or so is nothing.

Even if it takes five years, she will be able to wait with a smile.

I liked Ray and said to Sellis who was about to die.

“Because you don’t know, watch out for sunlight until you’re cured. For now, don’t go out and stay at home.”

“huh. I will.”

Lately, I’ve been listening really well.

There was once a time when I was told to stand on a handstand with one hand for treatment.

If she and he had met for the first time, they would have been suspicious with hostility, but by now, even that was well followed.

Thanks to that, there was no time to be bored.

You could say that he is a skilled and evil doctor.

Tong— Tong—

A Dark Elf came in with a knock on the door from outside.

He came in front of Ray.

“Is there a problem?”

“The elder says that the barrier magic circle is ready to be released.

“All right.”

I guess the time has finally come.

It is a sacred place that all elves in the past defended with their lives, and it is a secret place that is only allowed to authorized persons.

Human beings are the first to set foot in a place that has never been allowed to enter an unqualified being.

Selis said anxiously.

“It’s a place where people you can’t handle gather. Even when you say a word, think it over carefully in front of them.”

He responded with a nod of his head once.

However, as if that wasn’t enough, Celis continued to give advice on stretching.

“If you hate me once, it’s the end! know?”

“What are those clothes? Even wearing the rags worn by dwarves would be better than that!”

“I can’t. Take that off right now and change into this.”

She shot her words at such a speed that she did not even dare to answer, and held out a garment made of leaves.

The natural clothing of elves.

It is an eco-friendly garment made by elaborately weaving leaves.

It was a great piece of clothing, except that the area was small enough to barely cover important parts.

Ray looked at it with a hardened face.

Even if you look at it, it’s thinner than the other elves.

There was no way I could wear it.

The conscience and the law-abiding spirit, which were not long left in him, united in one mind and refused to wear clothes.

However, Selis’ hand was tenacious.

He held it in his hand, which he had been trying to avoid.

Why do they voluntarily want to defile their sacred place?

Certainly, the culture of the elves is beautiful, and each other’s culture deserves to be understood.

this is not a bit

No matter how you think about it, it was a costume that would raise a lot of problems.

When Ray tried to protest, the young elf who had come to convey the elder’s words added.

“Also, the elder told me to be sure to return after bathing. Otherwise, the barrier magic would not be canceled…” “

….”

Selis affirmed from the side.

“Think of it as the will of heaven and wear it.”

Ray grabbed the traditional elven costume.

the will of the sky

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

As if in response, the sky, which had been covered in dark clouds, cleared wide.

For some reason, it seemed that Gaia was smiling.
