Episode 274 Double Request (1)
Ray pondered over which request to choose from the bulletin board where the requests were posted.
Then, Lacia, who was watching closely from the side, pointed to a piece of paper.
“How about this?”
The paper was a personal request.
Usually, therapists are highly paid.
That’s why it was the majority of cases where people collected money from the village and put in requests as a group, or nobles or prominent merchants made requests.
However, the current one is a personal request.
Besides, the client is an ordinary villager.
The amount paid was two silver coins.
That’s an amount I could never afford to hire a therapist for.
No, let alone a healer, I wouldn’t even pay attention to an adventurer of a tolerable level.
It’s only natural that no one would accept a request after putting such a small amount on the line.
Lacia knew that, so she must have chosen this on purpose.
After thinking for a moment, Ray tore off the paper from the bulletin board.
“Let’s do this.”
“As expected, older brother is diligent. it’s awesome.”
“Even if you flatter me, nothing comes out.”
You don’t need any more money anyway.
It was because he had already stolen enough money to play for the rest of his life in the Holy Land.
Having made up her mind, Ray left the guild.
* * *
Even in the territory ruled by Viscount Gade, Deron Village is ruled by a servant.
Right next to Billo Village, there was a fairly famous healer.
It was nicknamed the Golden Cross because it was said that it had a cross symbol decorated with gold thread engraved on its chest.
The name is also Cruz, so it can be said that they are similar in a way.
He instantly went viral for curing a disease that even priests couldn’t cure, and now he has become the most popular healer in Deron Village.
I haven’t become a second-level healer yet, but I’m quite strong among first-level healers.
There were rumors that he might be at this level within ten years, so no healer dared to stand up to him.
Crus, who was twisting his rat tail beard, accepted a piece of request from the guild.
“huh? what’s this?”
Reward amount Two silver coins.
Cruz’s expression immediately frowned.
“Who wants to put this on their nose? I’m so dumbfounded.”
I’m trying to put the torn off request sheet back on the bulletin board, but something catches my eye.
– Age 21
.
– On the outskirts of Billo Village, two women…
. It is also quite young.
Now, the contents or rewards are not visible.
Cruz revealed her female color quite a bit.
A woman would treat him without paying, so any therapist who knew him even a little bit would have shook his head.
In addition, due to the nature of his job as a therapist, even if a certain amount of physical contact occurs, he can evade it enough.
This was the reason why he, who had already been flooded with requests because of his popularity, deliberately sought out requests from the Adventurer’s Guild.
Cruz licked his lips once.
“Khehehe. It’s been a while since I received a proper request. Guys, take the lead.”
At his words, the three men who appeared to be guards rose from their seats.
“Where is your destination?”
“This is Billo Village. They say it’s out of town, so they’ll be there in less than half a day. Prepare the wagon.”
The guard bowed his head and replied.
“All right.”
* * *
After taking a look at the request, Ray took a straight step.
The location is on the outskirts of Billo Village.
Uncharacteristically for him who usually behaved leisurely, Lacia tilted her head as she ran forward using her mana.
“Why are you in such a hurry? There are still 3 days left until the request period…”
In response to her question, Ray pointed to one side of the paper.
There, the patient’s symptoms were briefly written.
“If you look here, it says that blood is mixed with coughing, right? It’s probably not upper respiratory bleeding like a nosebleed, but if it’s severe, there could be a problem with the pulmonary artery.”
Lacia learned medical knowledge from him since she was a child.
That’s why I knew how dangerous it was to have a problem with the pulmonary artery.
“…you mean you could have a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation?”
“yes. It could be Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage.”
When it comes to medicine, Ray’s words don’t know the end.
If he is suspicious, then you really should be suspicious.
Lacia kept pace with his pace without saying anything.
When the two decided to start running, the town of Billo passed by in an instant.
The two arrived at the outskirts not long after.
Even though it is the same village, the difference between the center and the periphery was serious.
Unlike the rich and vibrant center, there are only houses in the outskirts, but the surroundings are all forest.
In a word, empty.
“There is not a single guard? Wouldn’t it be strange if there were bandits?”
“Will a bandit die of starvation? Even if you open it in a place like this, you won’t get a penny.”
“That’s right.”
Ray passed the shabby houses while looking at the map drawn on the request.
After passing through a small forest, I see a house with smoke rising from its chimney.
Compared to other houses, it is not shabby at all.
Lacia, who was looking around, shook her head at the eerie presence she felt around her.
“Whew… It’s good that there are no bandits, but there are a lot of monsters. There are no guards in the village… Only then will the vigilantes have no choice but to move.”
Ray also felt the same way.
“If there are vigilantes in this town. Looking at the current situation, I think I should start worrying about making a living, right?”
“A village where you have to protect yourself from monsters. What town is this?”
Ray left the grumbling girl behind and headed for the house in front of him.
The outer wall has cracks and the only chimney is unclear as to whether it has not been cleaned or not.
“anybody home?”
Knock-
knock- knock a couple of times, and a woman with a restless expression from the inside opened the door.
“who are you?”
“I received a request from the guild.”
“ah! I’m the client, Wira. Come in.”
As I followed her guide and went inside, the inside was at least worth seeing.
Although there were occasional spots of blood splattered on the walls.
The woman lying on the bed looked at Ray and Lacia and tried to get herself up.
“The cow guest… Cough! Coke!”
“I told you not to move. Lie down, it’s okay.”
Seeing them talking, it seems like they are sisters.
A woman who introduced herself as Wira gently laid the woman down on the bed, and Ray’s eyes as she looked at the two shone.
‘They’re twins.’
The appearance is very similar.
No, even the behavior and personality seem to be similar.
After looking around the room for a moment, Ray approached her.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and lightly struck his chest.
Percussion—
then blood spurted out along with a cough.
“Cool!”
Wipe off the dripping blood with a clean cloth.
Fortunately, hemoptysis was not severe.
If a large amount of hemoptysis spurted out even in normal times, suffocation or shock blocking the airway could come.
If that happened, artificial intubation would have been required to secure the airway.
But it didn’t seem necessary.
After looking at the details for a while, Ray looked at the location of the bleeding.
I press the neck briefly, and when hemoptysis spurts out, I carefully look at the section where the blood bursts.
“Doesn’t it hurt somewhere?”
“He said his heart was burning like a pain a few days ago.”
it’s a chest
If so, it’s probably a bronchial problem.
Fortunately, it didn’t look like pneumonia, so it must have been a while since he showed these symptoms.
‘It’s not like tuberculosis, but… seeing that the bronchi are inflamed, airway obstruction might occur if done wrong.’
As Ray was contemplating treatment, he felt a presence at the door.
The four signs strode into the house without knocking.
A fat man with an impressive rat beard and three guards wearing plate armor.
The man with the rat mustache said high-handedly.
“My name is Cruz. I accepted the request and walked all the way to this village, so accept it with a grateful heart.”
Ray frowned at his words.
Is it a request?
Wira’s request was taken from the guild herself.
However, the other party also accepted the request, so I was just wondering.
Recognizing Ray’s intentions, Wira quickly lowered her head.
“Sorry! I thought the healers wouldn’t accept it with two silver coins, so I put in a double request!”
“Double commissioning is against the rules, as stated in the guild.”
When Ray quietly scolded, Wira apologized again.
“I’m really sorry!”
“…Ehh.”
what are you going to do now
He said he put in a double request because his younger brother was sick, but he had no desire to push it any further.
When this happens, you can take two actions.
Either give up the request and go back, or have the client choose again.
Ray chose the latter.
“I am not going to give up on the request. If the other side is the same, then you have to choose one of them again and entrust the request.”
As soon as his words ran out, Cruz took them.
“Looks like a rookie healer wandering around the area. you guys get out of here This request has been decided to be taken on by Golden Cross-sama.”
Is this exactly what a moth jumping into a fire looks like?
Not knowing that he was sticking his head into the dragon’s mouth, he giggled.
“Golden Cross? What dog-bones name is that? A little mouse suits you.”
“You’re a kid who doesn’t know how precious life is. For a guy who works as a therapist in this area, I’ve never seen a guy with so much guts.
From the standpoint of Lacia watching from the sidelines, Cruz seemed more courageous.
A child in the Holy Land of Gaia, the first to produce healers.
‘If my older brother was still doing the duties of a saint, the kingdom of Celia would have been very upset.’
Whether or not he knew what she was thinking, Cruz glanced at Lacia once.
Blue eyes with flowing golden hair.
The curve of the nose that fell softly and the red lips like a ripe fruit were truly a work of art.
Although it is young, it has a considerable level of appearance.
My saliva went down in a gulp.
‘It’s a waste for you guys. do not worry. ‘Cause I’ll make you cute Hehehe.’
Cruz, who was contemplating taking her away, spoke as if he was generous.
“good night. Then, let’s compete to see which of the two is more accurate and faster.”
Ray immediately refused.
“What kind of bastard appointed a madman playing with patients’ lives as a therapist?”
If found, I will immediately return to the Holy Land to investigate.
When the opponent didn’t seem to be easily caught, Cruz said with a smile on his face.
“If you don’t like playing with your life, you can end it with your own hands. If you win, I’ll quit being a therapist.”
