In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

Chapter 111

111 Into the hell’s wrath

“Why aren’t you going to sleep?”

Justice turns his head to the owner of the voice. It was Xavier, and Vale also came from behind with him. It was late at night; the troops were sleeping and the three gentlemen prefer to sit around in Justice’s room.

“Why are you coming to my room?” Said Justice, back to Xavier.

Xavier added more firewood to the fireplace and then sat on the floor in front of the cozy fireplace. “I gave my room to my subordinates, plus four huntsman.”

“And you? What’s your excuse?” Justice asked the Magi captain, who was now getting cozy on the sofa.

“Brom and Martin, what else can I say?” Vale gruntled and took the blanket. He tried to get comfortable and sleep on the sofa.

“I wonder where Anne and Henry are right now.” Justice was muttering, while his hand holding onto his aggrus glass.

“Probably going to take a rest in the first inn. I just hope there’s nothing wrong, though. Their familiar isn’t the reliable one.” Said Xavier letting out a sigh.

“Chikara’s need to be mature enough, but Sabrina, what is Sabrina, actually?” Vale jumped from his sofa, forgetting about sleep already.

.....

“We already established this. She’s a red Cardinal, what else?” Xavier rolled his eyes and glared at Vale.

Vale challenged Xavier once again. “Seriously, a red cardinal bird that was hiding on the dark and mischievous road? I mean, how?”

It really becomes a question when Vale put it that way. Sabrina came to them three years ago, when Henry and the three of them encountered the dark and mischievous road. The red cardinal claimed she was saved by Henry and to repay his kindness, she became his familiar.

“Look we could wonder as much as we want right now, but the fact is we will never know until Sabrina reveals it to us, so let us take a rest now, we have a long day ahead of us.” Justice reminds them about the battle that will come sooner.

They took some rest in every place in the room. Justice took the bed, while Vale was on the sofa and Xavier prefer the carpeted floor with a pillow from the crown prince. At least for tonight, they will have plenty of rest for the battle that will ensue.

When morning comes, Justice already wakes up. He let Vale and Xavier get some more rest, and walks all around the inn, observing the troops and the werewolf. The healer’s tent is, surprisingly, already done.

Walking inside the tent, he got a sense of how important the healer’s job is, the array of medicines on the makeshift cabinet, one dozen patient beds, and four stretchers. Nathan was already inside, giving instructions to the other healers.

“I am impressed. You’re building this tent in such a short amount of time,” Justice said to Nathan, his eyes going around the tent. “I hope you have some time to sleep, though.”

“I wasn’t sleeping. Well, I will get my sleep now since the tent finally finished,” Nathan confessed to Justice with a huge grin on his face.

Justice’s eyes almost bulged out from his face, “Are you serious?! You got like one hour of sleep before the meeting and you just going to get some sleep now?”

The other healers around the tent chuckled when they heard how astonished Justice was. Nathan finally gave some answers to Justice’s confusion.

“Your majesty, for a healer like us, having some time to sleep is a luxury.”

Frowning at Nathan’s confession, Justice asked him to explain his words, “What do you mean, a luxury?”

“Well, resting is basically not the primary concern for us, healer...” Nathan tried to simplify his explanation. “Let me ask you something. How long does a knight or huntsman shift?”

“Twenty-four hours, and then two days’ rest.” Answered Justice to Nathan’s sudden question.

“One day of work and two days of vacation day?! What a luxury!” shouted one of the healers, whereas the other was quick to laugh it up.

“Hey, be quiet and get to work.” Nathan smiled and scolded the healers. He shook his head with a smile, “I’m sorry about the commotion, your majesty.”

“It’s quite alright, but it baffles me how having one day lack of sleeping is a luxury for all of you?” Said Justice to Nathan.

“Because, your majesty, our shift is two days workdays and one day for vacation,” Nathan said to Justice with a smirk on his face.

“I’m sorry what? You have two days of workdays, and one day for resting?!” Justice always thought that all workday shifts were the same everywhere, never in his wildest dream that the healer doesn’t have the same workload as the other job.

“It’s a given, your majesty, our job isn’t finished when the monster is dead, or when the monster got captured, our job begins when our patients come and they go home healthy,” Nathan said to Justice, and afterward he excused himself to have three hours rest.

Having the conversation with Nathan, giving Justice another perspective on Anne’s job as a healer. After a quick check around, he took the liberty of ordering some breakfast for the three of them in his room and woke them up before the food was coming to the room.

“What time is this?” Asked Xavier yawning on the floor. The man always felt comfortable sleeping anywhere.

“Almost ten. Come on, go wash yourself, already order some food for us.” Said Justice.

Vale jumped right away to use the bathroom before Xavier, “Sorry, that rascal always hogging the hot water, so I’m going first.”

“What do you expect from a scruffy werewolf?” Chuckles Justice.

Xavier throws his pillow to the crown prince, “Hey, I am not that scruffy, you *ss!”

“You literally could sleep on every surface, not to mention that long hair of yours!” Justice spoke to Xavier while throwing the pillows back to his face.

Half an hour later, while they enjoyed the meal, the discussion goes back to the healer’s workload.

“I never thought that they have long hours, two days workdays with one day vacation. She will have hard days for sure.” Muttered Justice, with a piece of moobull meat in his mouth.

“She survived, she knew about the hard work already, remember, she was trained by her parents and we already know how capable Martha and ed are.” Vale reminded Justice of how hard Anne was practicing back then, with her mentoring parents by her side.

“I know. I don’t think it will be possible to have her room in the palace. Every newly appointed healer needs to live in the dorm next to the main hospital.” Said Justice while sighing. He smiled at Xavier and Vale. “I do know the result of the exam already. She got in, but with some consequences.” Vale and Xavier curse and Justice tried to calm them down. “Well, what can we do? At least she now will become a certified healer.”

“What are you going to do?” Asked Xavier.

“There’s an inn near the main hospital. I’m going to live there for a moment. Rotating my time between the palace and the inn.” Said Justice to Xavier and Vale.

“Gods, it will be good for you to have met with the main host faster,” Xavier said to Justice. He was concerned for his friend and also Anne.

“I know, I hope Jason will have some clue by now,” Justice let out a sigh, “It was so exhausting, and not to mention it will be so hard for Anne, the poor girl always in pain because of me.”

“It will be. Don’t worry, the bewitched spell cure has almost done as well.” Said Vale, his face going glum all of a sudden. “I hope there’s no negative side effect from drinking the cure.”

A knock came suddenly from outside, and one of the werewolves asked them to go to the hideout immediately. The three of them share a glance, the Moonsun dial gave the time on the twelfth at the noon.

“It is too soon. What exactly happened?” Asked justice to the messenger.

“I’m sorry, your majesty, probably best that you go to the hideout to get the answer.” Said the messenger to Justice.

With curiosity in their minds, they go to the hideout immediately and saw the old man with Xander; they were in the middle of discussing something, and from the looks of it there’s something serious happening at the moment.

“What’s the matter? Why are you calling us at noon time?” Asked Justice to the old man.

“We have some problems, it appears that they are taking precautions against any attacks. They will begin the feast in one hour.” Said the old man to the three of them.

“What? That is too soon! The moonlight is the key for their spell to be triggered.” Vale was frantically talking. He was the one that researched the lycans feast festival.

“They don’t need to use the spell anymore, Vale. The spell is only for the victims to be forgotten by everyone.” Said Xavier.

Justice pointed at Xavier, “He was right, they are desperate, and desperate people mean they will do anything to be succeeded.”

The old man looked at all the people around the room, “Get ready then, we are going into the hell’s wrath!”
