Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 9: Chapter 26: The Job of the Former Saintess

“I am working as a rescue personnel in this academy, but…Halt-sama, were you not aware of this?”

“Y-Yup, sorry.”

I was totally unaware.

We’re taking Tina’s classes during the weekdays, so we’re out of the mansion throughout the day.

I didn’t have any inkling about what Seira, Elmia, Hakua, Kikyou and Sitri were doing within that time.

In the first place —

“Where's the first-aid clinic?”josei

I had never been injured, so I had never been to the first-aid clinic.

Moreover, even if my classmates got injured, Tina, Ryuuka, and I would heal them on the spot.

That’s why I didn’t even know where the first-aid clinic was.

“You can find several first-aid clinics throughout the campus, but…if it’s the place I’m working at, it would be First Inner Wall’s fifth first-aid clinic.”

The first-aid clinics of the academy were not rooms, but solo buildings that looked like hospitals, and there were quite many of them.

So there was a fifth clinic at the First Inner Wall, huh….

Really, this academy is so incredible.

“Sorry I didn’t know you have been working, Seira.”

“No, it’s alright. I must also apologize for not informing you beforehand regarding my work, Halt-sama.”

By the way, she wasn’t working because she was short of money, it seemed.

Back when she was still the Saintess, she had barely touched her earnings, so she already amassed a considerable amount of wealth. Not only that, she didn’t have to shell out any money for her food and housing expenses because she’s living in my mansion.

Thus, she’s working because she’s free.

She had been working nonstop for two centuries as the Saintess, so she planned to take it slow at first.

However, she couldn’t help but feel an extreme itch to work after two days of lazing around in my mansion.

And so, she consulted Tina, and it was decided that she would work as healer of wounded students and professors.

“Ahm, Halt-sama, if it’s alright with you, do you want to visit my workplace?”

“Fifth first-aid clinic? Okay. I also want to see the place where you work, Seira.”

“Thank you very much! Then, I’ll be waiting for you!”

Seira walked away after saying that.

By the way, we originally had a class today, but since we had been doing extracurricular activities without a break the whole time last week, we were given a break today, and there’s no classes.

Tina called me, so I’ll go check-out Seira’s workplace after I’m done.

──＊＊＊──

I checked the location of the fifth first-aid clinic where Seira worked and visited it as promised, but —

“Whoa, is this for real…”

30 people were lined up in front of the first-aid clinic.

Not only students, but even professors lined up.

There were a few students who were bleeding.

One of them had a really bad-looking complexion.

Would it be better if I cast Heal on him?— that’s how bad it was.

Magicians who could use white magic like recovery spells were quite rare in this world. Even if this was the academy of magic, it didn’t mean that every class had students and professors who could heal among them.

Even so, it’s quite odd that they were carrying the student as is, with flowing blood and all.

Shouldn’t they have used some healing medicine to stop the bleeding before taking him to the first-aid clinic and had him fully recovered there?

“Ahm, are you alright? If it’s okay with you, I can cast Heal.”

I called out to the guy student who looked like he would faint any moment now.

“...Leave him alone. Don’t go sticking your nose in to heal me up.”

That was the very grumpy reply that I got.

I don’t really get it.

I just offered to patch him up out of good will…

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the start of the line in front of the first-aid clinic.

“Oh, it’s Doctor Seira!”

The super pale student suddenly became energetic.

I turned my gaze towards the place he was looking at, and I spotted Seira wearing a white robe and walking towards us.

It was a rare sight seeing her wearing that lab coat, and she looked dignified and really gorgeous in it.

“Dr. Seira, you’re…as beautiful today as well.”

“Doctor, I’m injured. Please heal me.”

‘M-Me too! Please cast Heal on me!!”

“Please tend to me too!”

“Sigh, Seira-sama. How lovely….”

The students and teachers who were lining up all called out to Seira as she passed by them.

By the way, there were also girls who lined up here.

Both girls and boys blushed for some reason when Seira passed them.

She answered them with a smile, but she went straight to me.

“D-Dr. Seira came to me!?”

The guy right beside me that was white as a sheet suddenly became excited when Seira approached us.

“Ahm, Dr. Seira… I —”

“Halt-sama, you really came!”

Seira threw herself at me while saying that.

“EHHHHH!!??”

All the people who lined up screamed at the same time.

Then they all simultaneously looked at me with piercing glares.

“O-Oy, Seira…”

“I felt Halt-sama’s mana approaching, and I couldn’t wait any longer so I came out!!”

Seira didn’t give a care at the gazes trained on me as she circled her arms around my body, squeezing me.

“Fuu…Halt-sama, this way please.”

Seira seemed satisfied with the hug. She then pulled my hand towards the first-aid clinic.

“Dr. Seira!? Why are you taking him with you!? I-I’m also hurt —”

“Oh, it’s you again… Well, it can’t be helped, then.”

Seira released her mana.

“Divine Bless!”

The Breath of Healing flowed gently around the vicinity of the first-aid clinic.

The injuries of everyone standing in line were completely healed.

Seira used the highest level of recovery magic.

“Alright, everyone is feeling better now! The Fifth first-aid clinic will be closed for the rest of the day, so if you ever sustained any injuries, please go to another clinic, okay~”

“N-No…What is that guy to you, Dr. Seira!?”

“Halt-sama? Well —”

Seira let go of my hand, then she grabbed my arm instead.

“He’s my dear hubby-sama!”

She declared while beaming.

“Wha!?”

“N-No way…”

“T-That’s a lie, right?”

Everyone became depressed when Seira announced that.

Some of them even fell on their knees right there and then.

“Let’s go, Halt-sama!”

“Y-Yeah.”

Seira took my hand and led me to the clinic amidst the glaring looks of resentment and envy from the others.

──＊＊＊──

“Are you sure it’s okay to just handle it like that? You even closed the first-aid clinic…”

“Halt-sama came, so I have to put my all into healing you. There should be no problem even if I close the clinic. I’m sure the Headmaster will also approve.”

It felt like I heard some kind of nonsense just now.

“I’m not hurt anywhere, you know?”

“Then why did you come to the first-aid clinic?”

“Eh, that’s… Seira, you summoned me…”

“Did I? Well, at any rate, you came all the way here, so let me check whether you do not really need any treatment. Please lie down on the bed, Halt-sama.”

Seira led me to a bed with a mischievous smirk on her lips.

I went along for now and lied on top of the bed.

The pillow was super hard.

There was a time when I had to lie down on a hospital bed because of injuries or sickness back when I was still in my original world. The pillows were very hard too back then, just like the ones here.

Why are the pillows in hospitals and clinics so hard?

I mulled over this while waiting for Seira.

Seemed like she would take a while since she’s moving around a lot.

I closed my eyes and decided to take my time waiting for her.

Seira called out to me after a while.

“Halt-sama, please raise your head a bit.”

“Hm? Like this?”

“Yes, thank you very much.”

When I lifted my head, she pulled the pillow out and replaced it with something softer instead.

Whoa!

How soft and comfy.

“Are you comfortable?”

“Yup, this is nice.”

—Hm?

Seira’s voice was closer to me for some reason.

When I opened my eyes, I saw her peering at me.

“Erm, according to Halt-sama’s checkup results…You’re lacking sleep. That’s why please take a nap just like this.”

That’s what she said.

Seira’s cheeks were a bit red.

Oh…So that’s what it was.

That’s when I realized what the soft pillow really was.

This is —

Seira’s thighs.

And they’re bare.

Seira was lending her lap to me to sleep on.

“...Isn’t it heavy?”

“It’s fine.”

She didn’t have any problems with this, it seemed.

“Then, it’s so kind of you so I’m gonna sleep for a bit.”

“Yes. Sleep well, Halt-sama.”

“G’Night, Seira.”

I enjoyed the velvety smooth feel of Seira the Emergency Responder’s bare legs and let myself fall into sleep.

T/N: I envy you, Seira… I wanna have the option to work because I’m free, not because I need to, uwu…:D
