Jin-sang! Treatment Clinic!

◈

Three weeks had passed since we defeated the Mountain Turtle.

During that time, my daily cycle changed a bit.

What was that change, you ask?

“Brother Jin-sang! Would you please collaborate with the temple, even if just for a short time!”

“What?”

The day after defeating the Mountain Turtle, a man who seemed to be a high-ranking? priest? from the temple came and made this request to me.

“Brother Jin-sang’s abilities are truly remarkable! Moreover, to think you were the one behind the Miracle of Kellion and the healer who contributed the most!”

“Eh, eheheh. I did contribute a lot.”

“Please, I’d like to ask such an amazing Brother Jin-sang. Many people come to the temple for treatment. Of course, we can treat ordinary wounds ourselves. But for those with severe injuries, we are powerless to help far too many! So please! Would you cooperate with us and help treat people! Of course, we will pay you for your treatments!”

“Oho.”

So I can receive money too?

“Yes.”

“Oh! You’re accepting?!”

“Yes. Ah, but we still need to go on quests, so I can’t be there all day.”

“Of course, I understand! Then let’s adjust the time!”

“Ah, but wouldn’t other magic healer therapists? or other priests feel uncomfortable if I step in?”

“It’s fine. There are no magic healers in Gallio, and we’re only asking Brother Jin-sang to help with truly serious patients.”

“I see.”

I agreed to help with treatments at the temple in the afternoons after finishing quests.

And after completing morning training, finishing quests, and having meals.

Going to the temple became part of our daily routine.

For Physique-noona, it was basically just going home.

Luna-noona just followed me.

Well, personally, I like having Luna-noona around too!

Training and quests went smoothly.

What was different was the variety of clients I treated in the afternoons.

“Haa, haa, haa, haa.”

“P-please! Our, our child has such a high fever…!”

“Please help us, Brother Jin-sang.”

Cases where a cold came on too suddenly and severely.

Even with Heal, such treatments usually rely on medicine, but in this case, the child was too young and the symptoms were severe.

“Cure! Heal! Stamina Heal!”

Woooong!

“Um… mo-mommy?”

“Ah! My baby!”

Of course, it’s nothing special for me!

“Thank you! Thank you! My baby! You should thank this big brother too!”

“Thank you, big brother!”

“That’s right. Don’t get sick next time.”

“Okay!”

There were also patients with ordinary major injuries, not just children.

“Huff! Huff! I’m, I’m done for…”

“Idiot! We’re at the temple now! Don’t give up! Hurry! Hurry! Treat this guy…”

“Heal.”

Woooong!

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

I also saw people whose reactions were delayed due to my amazing~ recovery magic that was so excellent and incredible.

“I-I’m healed! I thought I was really going to die just now!”

“S-so this is the athlete’s foot healer Jin-sang who achieved the Miracle of Kellion!”

“Could you drop the ‘athlete’s foot healer’ part? I do treat athlete’s foot, but still.”

“Ah, I have athlete’s foot too, could you treat that…”

“Cure!”

“Whoa! That stubborn athlete’s foot is gone!”

After seeing a number of patients like that, more serious cases started coming in as the rumors spread.

“Grandfather, it’s this way.”

“Aigo, you all. Do we really have to do this?”

“We’ve come all this way, what are you saying?”

“That’s right, father. Since we’re here, at least get treated.”

“That’s right, father-in-law.”

“Yes, you old man! Since we’re here, you should get it!”

“Aigo, this old woman is trying to kill me.”

An old man with a cane, missing one arm, and being led by a young lady’s hand also came.

The old woman and the middle-aged couple who came with him appeared to be his wife, son, and daughter-in-law.

The one holding his hand seemed to be his granddaughter.

“What kind of treatment would you like?”

“Well… our grandfather used to be an adventurer. He lost his arm to a monster and retired.”

“And this old man’s eyes have gone blind with age. Can you treat eyes too, Healer-nim?”

“Is that so? Ah, Grandmother, do you have any ailments?”

“Unlike this weakling, I’m as fit as a fiddle.”

“What?! I was a B-rank adventurer with strength in my prime! How can you talk nonsense when we were in the same party…!”

“Aigo, father. Mother is just joking.”

“That’s right, father-in-law, getting too angry isn’t good for your health.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, this one and that one all treat me like I’m about to die. I may have lost an arm and be blind, but I’m still fine!”

He was a very spirited old man despite his situation.

“Let me check your condition for a moment.”

I lifted the old man’s eyelids to check his condition as he sat in the chair.

Hmm, seeing how his eyes have turned completely white, it looks like cataracts?

Well… I cured Miriana-noona who was in that condition too, so this should heal as well!

“Cure!”

Woong!

As soon as I used Cure, the old man’s cloudy white pupils returned to normal.

“Whoa!”

“Wha!?”

I was startled when the old man suddenly shouted loudly.

“W-what is it?”

“Father!? Are you okay?”

“Father-in-law?”

“Old man, what’s wrong!”

“I-I can see! I can see in front! I can really see!”

The old man turned his body to look at his family.

“My fine son!”

“Father!”

“My precious daughter-in-law!”

“Father-in-law!”

“My pretty granddaughter!”

“Grandfather!”

“My…”

“Old man…!”

“Wrinkly old woman!”

“You old geezer!

Slap!

“Ouch! Kahaha! Yes, that’s the feeling! Aigo! I misjudged the great physician! Thank you, Healer-nim!”

“It’s nothing. I’m glad your eyes are healed. Shall we continue with the treatment?”

“Huh? Continue? Is there more to treat?”

“What? Didn’t you come to get your arm treated too?”

“”Huh?””

At my question, all of the old man’s family tilted their heads in confusion.

“Arm ‘too’… this injury happened decades ago, what is there to treat?”

“No, I can make your arm grow back.”

“W-what?”

“Didn’t you come because you heard about me?”

Do I have to be my own promoter again?

“Ah, I can make cut-off arms grow back whoosh~! Legs too whoosh~! That’s what I, the healer, can do!”

“I-is that true!”

Usually people don’t believe it when they first hear it, but the old man seemed to believe immediately after having his eyes healed.

“Of course!”

“T-that’s right! Jin-sang c-can definitely t-treat arms too!”

Luna-noona, who was beside me, defended me.

“Yes! Of course!”

Physique-noona also defended me from the side.

“O-of course?”

“It means ‘naturally’!”

“I-I see!”

“Ah, but first, I’ll need to slightly cut the healed skin part of your severed arm. Can you endure it?”

“Huh! Don’t underestimate me, Healer-nim! As a former B-rank adventurer, do you think I can’t endure something like that!”

“F-father. But…”

“Ahem! You be quiet! My eyes have been completely healed, so why wouldn’t I trust the Healer-nim now!”

“No… father gets extremely hurt even when slightly pricked with a fork…”

“Ahem! That’s just me exaggerating a bit! You stay quiet!”

The old man skillfully took off his clothes with one hand, showing his arm that was cut off about halfway up from the shoulder.

“I’m counting on you! Healer-nim!”

“Yes. Physique-noona, please hold the grandfather steady.”

“Understood!”

“Luna-noona, please prepare to cut the healed skin surface cleanly.”

“O-okay!”

To prevent the old man from reflexively moving and falling after being cut, Physique-noona placed her hands on his shoulders to stabilize him.

“I-I’ll start. J-Jin-sang.”

“Yes!”

“Hiyah!”

Using her usual fast speed, Luna-noona.

Slash!

Cleanly cut the healed, blunt skin surface of the old man’s arm.

“Nnnngh!!”

The old man flinched at the cutting pain and his body moved reflexively, but he didn’t move much because Physique-noona was firmly holding his shoulders.

And before the blood could drip from the old man’s cut arm.

“Heal!”

I immediately used Heal.

Woooong!

From the old man’s cut arm, whoosh! Bones, nerves, muscles, and skin rapidly formed, and a new arm sprouted.

“Oh, oh, ohhhhhhh!”

“I-is this possible!”

“F-father-in-law’s arm really…!”

“Grandfather!”

“O-old man! Your arm really grew back!”

“Aigo! Aigo! Really! Really my arm! After decades, my arm…!”

The old man was overcome with emotion, checking his newly grown arm by flexing and extending it, then spinning it around to make sure.

“It’s really my arm…! My arm! Thank you…! Thank you, Healer-nim!”

“It’s nothing. I’m glad your arm has grown back.”

“This is…! This is all thanks to Healer-nim!”

The old man thanked me with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that, I felt an immense sense of fulfillment.

“Truly… amazing.”

And the high-ranking priest who had been silently watching the treatment quietly expressed his admiration.

Hehehe… shall I do more good deeds?

“Oh right, Grandfather. Would you and Grandmother like to get your backs treated too?”

“Huh? Back… treatment?”

“Yes! I can straighten your stiff backs so you can walk without canes!”

Both the grandfather and grandmother had hunched backs.

“Aigo! Is that true! Wife! Come here! We need to get our backs treated!”

“Aigo! Thanks to this good healer, we can have straight backs again!”

Having directly seen the arm grow back, the grandmother also stepped forward saying it was good!

“Ah, but this is really effective but extremely painful for a moment? Will that be okay?”

“Hahaha! If our backs will be straight again, what does that matter! Right, old woman?”

“Of course! I’ve been suffering so much with this back pain lately! Please help us, Healer-nim!”

“Yes!”

“Um… J-Jin-sang? Is that back treatment…”

“Luna-noona.”

“Y-yes.”

“Everything has a price, right?”

“Yes… t-that’s true…”

And a moment later.

“”KWAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!””

The screams of the grandfather and grandmother echoed loudly throughout the temple.

Of course, their backs were completely straightened!
