episode_0032

Even after the conversation with the mercenary is over, the knight doesn’t return.

The same goes for female employees.

I wondered what the two of them were doing and why there was still no news, but as time passed, I began to have more and more doubts.

The female employee and the driver showed up later than we expected.

As soon as I saw the two people’s behavior, my suspicions turned into certainty.

‘Wow~ I really didn’t see it like that… .’

Although I was grateful to the knight who protected me, I didn’t pray for happiness to this extent.

The knight’s behavior when he reappeared.

Although her clothes may have been neatly put together, the lipstick marks on her lips and her disheveled hair inevitably made her imagine harsh thoughts.

‘This kid did it 100%.’

The mercenary looked at them with contempt, as if he had similar thoughts to me.

“Ahem, are you done talking?”

A female employee with slightly softened lips spoke with her back straight.

“Ahem!!”

At first, the knight pretended to be shameless, but when he saw our gazes, he realized that he had been caught and tried to hide his embarrassment by coughing in vain.

I said this after debating whether I should point this out or not.

“Yes. I think you can proceed with the contract.”

“Okay, please sign here and here.”

Thanks to the help of the female employee(?), the reporter gave up being stubborn and didn’t say much the whole time the contract was being written up.

Thanks to that, we were able to safely sign the documents the female employee handed us.

“Thank you for the opportunity.”

The mercenary bowed his head in greeting, and I concluded by asking for the sun god’s protection.

I couldn’t help it because I couldn’t show myself too friendly in front of the reporter.

On the way back after parting ways with the mercenary.

The article asked me a question later.

“Did you think carefully before making your decision? I didn’t say anything because I thought it was up to the priest to decide, but I feel a little uneasy.”

He kept his mouth shut because he was embarrassed after getting caught flirting with a girl, but he pretended nothing happened.

“We decided after talking. It’ll be okay.”

“Keum! I’ll say it again, if you have any problems, please let me know. If you have to go to the guild, please! Call me.”

“… Yes.”

I couldn’t hide my nervousness and answered politely that I understood.

◎ ◎ ◎

“That article is here again.”

“Again? Seriously, Father Arthur, you’re having a really hard time.”

Sugunsugun-

It is a well-known fact that someone is hospitalized in a special ward.

But until now, no one had been interested in special hospital rooms.

Because it is not the patient you are in charge of.

But as the days went by, there was gossip about the patients in the special ward who came to see Father Arthur.

How much pain must one be in to call someone several times a day?

“I don’t think it used to be like this… .”

“Isn’t your life in danger?”

“That’s really surprising. Honestly, I thought there was no illness that Father Arthur couldn’t cure.”

“I haven’t seen it myself, but don’t you think it’s a bit much to say that you can cure all diseases?”

“Isn’t it almost at that level? Every time we handed over a patient because we couldn’t treat them, you cured them all.”

“I see? I’ve never seen anything that couldn’t be fixed.”

There’s a reason healers love Priest Arthur.

A boss who will solve any problem right away if you ask for help when you are in trouble.

Does that mean you have a bad personality?

No! He is such a kind person that he rarely raises his voice.

Does that mean you make me work a lot?

Not at all! If you’re having a hard time at work, he’s kind enough to come over and help you out.

A boss who is not hesitant to share knowledge and who helps solve problems when they arise.

How can I hate you?

There are more than a few things to be thankful for.

There was no one who did not owe him a debt of gratitude.

Rather, if there was anyone who hated him, I would think they were crazy.

“There’s a reason you became the youngest person to receive the Senior Healer license.”

“Is there anything we can do to help you?”

“That’s right. I think I need to think about it.”

There is almost no illness that cannot be cured, so even Priest Arthur has to be called to the sickroom several times a day for an illness that he cannot cure.

It is absurd for them to come forward and say they will treat you instead.

As the priests were discussing how they could make him feel better, a pretty girl approached them.

“Look at this.”

“?”

The girl who caught everyone’s attention because she was so pretty spoke in an unusual way.

“Let me ask you something for a moment.”

Because she seemed to be a girl of noble status, the priests were unable to treat her rashly and spoke to her cautiously.

“Yes, what’s going on?”

“I came here because I heard my sister was here.”

“Yes? Sister?”

The girl’s older sister is in the hospital?

“Take me there.”

A girl who is obviously beautiful and has grown up to be precious.

I made sure to put a lot of respect into my voice because it was clear that if I treated him carelessly, I would get into trouble.

“Uh… Excuse me, what is your name?”

If the patient comes for a short visit, gets cured, and goes back, the girl’s visit will be in vain.

But if you’re one of the hospitalized patients, I might be able to give you some guidance.

“I can’t say that.”

“Yes?”

“It’s ridiculous to tell anyone your sister’s name! I will never tell anyone.”

How can I find you if you don’t tell me your name?

“If you don’t tell us your name, we won’t be able to find your sister.”

“Can’t you tell just by looking at my face!! I look like my sister! I’ve heard that a lot since I was little. So you’ll recognize me right away, right?”

“Sorry, there is no way to find it by appearance.”

It would be entirely possible if the patient had been as pretty as a girl, but unfortunately none of the priests here could remember having a face that looked like a girl’s.

“Have you ever seen such frustrating people! There’s nothing we can do since we can’t communicate. Bring the person in charge right now!”

I don’t know whose precious child he is, but he has raised his child amazingly.

The priests were perplexed by the girl’s attitude, which did not seem like it would back down easily.

‘How about just kicking them out?’

‘You look like you’re from a noble family, but what if you do something like that and something goes wrong at the temple?’

‘Let’s just pass it on to the higher-ups. It might not be something we can handle.’

Eventually, the priests decided to report the incident to a higher-up, as the girl had wished.

A person who is not in charge but has a say equivalent to that of a person in charge.

‘Father Arthur is busy, so let’s go find someone else.’

‘Wouldn’t it be better to tell Father Ando?’

There was also a priest named Chilan, but I didn’t think he would handle things coolly.

So the priests chose Ando.

Unfortunately, one of the priests chosen as a representative went to where Father Ando was with the mysterious girl behind him.

◎ ◎ ◎

After treating Princess Canabee and returning to continue seeing patients, I saw the priests gathered together on one side, talking.

Since he often came to see me when I was working, I approached him to let him know I was back.

“Did you find your sister?”

“I’m sure it was none other than Father Ando who did the right thing.”

“I think it would have been better to ask Father Chilan rather than Father Ando.”

“I’m here.”

“Huh? Father Arthur!”

“What are you talking about so interestingly?”

When I made a sound and approached him, he started talking about something that had been a hot topic for a while.

“The girl found her sister here?”

“Yes. Do you know Father Arthur? Do you know the faces of all the hospitalized patients?”

“You should know.”

“It seemed like you were well-educated. They told me not to say my name carelessly.”

It goes without saying that you shouldn’t tell strangers your name.

If you make a mistake and get kidnapped, it’ll be a big problem.

However, it was a bit odd to come to the temple treatment center and not say your name.

“There were no servants around. I thought she was my younger sister who had run away to find her sick older sister.”

“So where is that girl now? Did you just send her away?”

“No. I told Father Ando that I wouldn’t go until I found my sister. I think Father Ando will continue to look after me.”

You left your child in the care of a cold person like Father Ando?

It would have been better to leave it to Father Chilan… .

I felt as if I was torturing the child, so I hurried to the priest’s office.

Knock knock-

“Father Ando, this is Father Arthur.”

“Come in.”

As I opened the door with permission from Father Ando, a figure that appeared to be a girl caught my eye.

“You came at a good time.”

“Yes. I heard the news. I heard you were looking for your family. Is that right?”

“I came to find my sister!”

The girl’s face comes into my sight.

A girl who refuses to reveal her name.

Before I came in here, I wondered if I could recognize the person I was looking for just by looking at the girl’s face… .

“I see who you’re looking for.”

“As expected! Look! Didn’t I say you can recognize it!”

How can you not know?

Doesn’t her face and speech resemble hers?

The girl smiled brightly at my words, as if she had finally gotten what she wanted.

“Can you really tell just by looking at the face?”

Priest Ando asked in surprise, perhaps because he found it unexpected.

“Yes. Can I take this person?”

“Let’s go! I should have met you earlier, but it’s too late!”

“Of course. Take it.”

Priest Ando was so happy when he heard that he would take the girl with him that it must have been quite a headache to deal with her.

The girl jumped up from her seat and passed me, swinging the door open.

“What are you doing! Why don’t you take the lead!”

“… Yes.”

As expected, that sister is like that younger sister.

No, looking at that appearance, it seems like the younger sister is more cheerful than the older sister.

As we walked down the street, a girl asked me a question, perhaps out of curiosity about me.

“You recognized me right away, so I guess you’ve seen my sister often. Are you the priest in charge of treating my sister?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“How come you still haven’t cured my sister?”

“It would be best to ask him directly for more details.”

I don’t know what kind of relationship Princess Canabi and this girl have, so I can’t just talk about the bottle.

Isn’t this girl also a member of the royal family after all?

I couldn’t give out personal information so carelessly unless I was sure what the relationship between the two was.
