“Wait a minute!”

One of the men in the banquet hall stood up from his seat and shouted loudly.

“Since Miss Shigure brought me here for the first time, I’ve been listening to you quietly until now, but I can’t stand it anymore!”

Oh my gosh-!

“You there!”

“Yes,”

Do Yu-jin answered with a blank face.

A calm and cool look.

However, this only describes the appearance, and Do Yu-jin was currently in a state of considerable fever.

Just as someone who eats cake while on a diet feels happy and annoyed at the same time, Do Yu-jin also felt both satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the same time in this situation.

Is that why?

“But please speak quietly. It’s a little noisy.”

Instead of hiding her true feelings by using her traits as usual, Do Yu-jin chose to reveal herself as she is.

Anyway, more than half of the water in the glass was spilled due to his actions.

Looking at the situation there, it seemed like I would have to keep pouring my glass and pouring water on the floor, but I also didn’t want to bother trying to hide something as trivial as my feelings.

“That, yeah… … ”

The old man was overwhelmed by Do Yu-jin’s unexpected cold and arrogant answer and hesitated for a moment in embarrassment.

But that was only for a moment, as the old man hardened his face again and opened his mouth.

“My, if what I’ve heard so far is correct, you said you would cure palpitation, and palpitation at that. Did I hear you correctly?”

“Yes, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

When Do Yu-jin nodded coolly, the expression on the old man’s face became strange.

Because the answer was not cool compared to how nervous I was when I first spoke.

“Are you serious? Of course you must have talent since you joined the circle, but even so, how can you cure arrhythmia… … ”

“I don’t want to agree with this guy, but he’s right. It’s hard for us to blindly believe what you, who’s just become an adult, say.”

“That’s… …right.”

“That’s right.”

Starting with the two people, others who had been quietly watching the situation nodded their heads in agreement.

“I guess so.”

Do Yu-jin nodded quietly without any particular reaction as she watched them.

Because I understood their hearts.

Although it is easy to see because it appears in all kinds of novels, in this world, arrhythmia is not a disease that can be easily treated.

In a world where medical advancements have made it possible to easily treat even terminally ill cancer patients, even in this world, arrhythmia is classified as an incurable disease that is genetic.

No, actually, the incurable disease was only talking about stage 1 to stage 3 arrhythmia.

If it goes from stage 4 to stage 6, vasculitis is classified as an incurable disease that cannot be treated with conventional treatments, similar to type 1 diabetes in modern society.

Steps 7 to 9?

From there, it was more like a terminal diagnosis than an incurable disease.

But when Do Yu-jin suddenly appeared and said that she was going to the convenience store and that she was going to cure her stage 9 extreme arrhythmia, it was not surprising that they reacted in this way.

“… … Is that all?”

Seeing Do Yu-jin’s incredibly light-hearted response, they were taken aback and asked back.

Well, they expected Do Yu-jin to hear this and give some kind of logical explanation, like explaining her abilities or showing something she has.

But Do Yu-jin had no intention of doing such things for them.

That would be the case… …

“I think you’re misunderstanding something. The reason I offered to help you was simply because I felt like it.”

The reason Do Yu-jin gave them this opportunity was not because she wanted something from them, but simply out of pity.

In the past, he was unable to do anything in similar situations and could not receive help from anyone.

And the feelings she felt back then still remain like a scar, sometimes making Do Yu-jin feel dirty.

It’s a feeling that gives me goosebumps whenever I think about it.

Do Yu-jin didn’t want to further increase that annoying feeling.

And that was the whole reason Do Yu-jin got involved in their work.

So, to put it simply… …

“I don’t really care if you reject my offer.”

No, rather, he was secretly hoping that they would reject his offer.

Just by extending a hand and making such a suggestion, Do Yu-jin’s mind was already at ease.

‘Of course, if those people step down like this, it’ll leave a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste… … ‘

Instead, I thought I could move on and be satisfied enough that I wouldn’t have to go through any unnecessary trouble.

Their stupidity and lack of urgency had nothing to do with his trauma.

“That’s… … ”

I have no intention of doing anything more to persuade the other person.

After understanding Do Yu-jin’s thoughts, they unconsciously put back into their mouths the countless words they had prepared in their heads.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed once again.

Through a short Q&A, it was finally revealed who was in the upper hand in this situation.

And that kind of situation.

Shhh-

The leader watched with a smile.

“You seem more manly than I thought?”

“I don’t want to stand out, but this is a world where if you just stay still, you’ll be ignored.”

Do Yu-jin answered indifferently.

“I just think you should know how to make your own voice heard.”

After saying that, Do Yu-jin turned her head and looked at the leader.

“As I said before, you don’t have to insist on receiving treatment from me. If you want, you can refuse my treatment and call someone else.”

“Hmm… … ”

The leader said, lightly stroking his chin.

“I can’t help but wonder, can you tell me what you would do if I refused to receive treatment from you?”

At those words, Do Yu-jin tried hard to suppress her reasoning that she didn’t want to get involved in any more pointless things, and spoke while assessing her own psychological state.

“Probably… …I don’t think I’ll do anything else. I think it’ll be a bit awkward to just stay here, so I’ll just give you a brief explanation of what to do in town and then I’ll leave.”

“Village?”

“Is there something wrong with our town right now?”

At Do Yu-jin’s one word, the expressions of the people around them changed once again.

Looking at their desperate expressions, Do Yu-jin spoke in a calm voice.

“I already told you a little while ago that it was a phenomenon close to a curse.”

Is it true that just drinking alcohol can cause a hereditary disease called vasovagal syncope?

This was logically impossible.

Because of this, Do Yu-jin thought there must be another cause, so while having a conversation here, he was using his shadow to briefly investigate the village.

And then, bingo.

I was able to find the answer to the problem more easily than I thought.

“Alcohol is just a stimulant, the real reason you’re suffering from arrhythmia is because of a curse that’s spread across the village.”

“There was a curse on the entire village?”

“Yes, it seems like it was probably done by a sentient monster, a yokai… … I don’t know what kind of guy did this.”

As Do Yu-jin said that, he realized why this town had not appeared in the game.

destruction.

It didn’t appear because it had already disappeared without a trace before the player could make any real moves.

‘By the way, what kind of guy would do something like this? Any other guy wouldn’t even think of doing something like this.’

While Do Yu-jin was guessing about the culprit who turned this village into a whirlpool of curses.

“Okay! I’ll go get treatment from you.”

The leader, who had been watching the situation, spoke coolly.

“Chief!”

Naturally, a backlash was about to erupt.

“Stop it, if it stays like this, I’ll die anyway.”

The leader silenced their objections with one heavy word.

“The quality is definitely bad because it’s a curse that grew to the level of a nine-syllable syllable.”

He silenced those around him and tapped his heart with his hand.

“Until now, I had been keeping quiet without even knowing, but ever since that guy told me the truth, he’s been making a fuss about eating my body.”

“That can’t be… … ”

“If you don’t believe me, try casting your magic.”

“Huh? Why are we suddenly… … ”

“If we’re under a curse like that guy said, you guys must be having a stroke too, right?”

Do Yu-jin nodded in agreement.

Those present only then realized the fact and their already serious faces hardened once again.

“Then maybe you too can feel the same stuffy, sticky feeling I’m feeling right now.”

At the leader’s words, everyone closed their eyes and began to move the magical power within their bodies.

As if he was trying to refute the leader’s words even a little, he said it fiercely.

But when I opened my eyes again.

“Uhh… … ”

“How is this… … ”

They all just kept their mouths shut and had serious faces.

“I feel like I could probably only last about a month if I suppressed my life force to the max using the Ghostly Way.”

“That… … !”

Shigure’s face turned pale after hearing those words.

“And realistically speaking, it would be impossible to find a doctor who is good at treating stasis hiding somewhere during that time and bring him here. I doubt there is such a doctor in the first place.”

Puhahaha-!

After finishing what he was saying, the leader burst into laughter and looked at Do Yu-jin.

“So, even though it’s a little hard to believe and uncertain, my conclusion is that I will trust the friend my daughter brought.”
