To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 370

Episode 370 Vitiligo (1)

There was nothing I could do even if I went to the village, so I ran in a straight line towards the Dark Elf Village.

As he repeatedly marched without sleep, Ray vomited his spirit to cover the distance he had to cover in three days in two days.

how much more did it go

A majestic forest appeared in front of me.

Huge trees are huddled together and vines are intertwined like a hedge.

The naturally connected tree trunks looked like an arched bridge.

It was a magnificent sight that aroused admiration for the beholder.

Even Ray, who had already become accustomed to Grandel’s forest, admired it a little.

“I thought it would be dark because it’s a dark elf village, but it’s not really like that.”

Sunlight penetrates through the leaves, and mountain birds gather and chirp in shady places.

It felt like the naturalness that elves pursued and the forest harmoniously balanced.

After looking around for a while and appreciating the scenery, Ray went into the woods.

The inside was just as beautiful as the outside.

The trees, large enough for five adult men to be able to surround them, made one think that it was the abode of the elves.

As he continued to walk, at some point he felt the presence of the elves.

Those who moved quickly through the bushes became quiet for a moment and then appeared one by one.

Sueugh—

Elf outfits made with long ears and leaves woven together.

Up to this point, it was the same as the elves in Grendel.

The only difference was the color of their skin.

It is something subtle to say that it is simply dark.

Among them, a male elf who seemed to be representative of them spoke to Ray.

“Are you the person who was called by Aira-sama?”

At that, Ray nodded.

“that’s right.”

“…follow me.”

As he turned his back, the other Dark Elves also turned.

Of course, with a few glances.

Everyone was curious as to whether they were seeing humans for the first time.

When I arrived at the village, I was in awe of myself.

The trees were made into a dome shape to create shade, and outside the treehouses were exposed to allow sunlight to enter.

It’s artificial, but it’s not strange.

Somehow the trees seemed to have grown into the shape themselves.

It is a very nice town to live in.

The male elf proudly said that he had noticed him.

“It’s a village that prides itself on being second to none of the elves’ villages. Is this your first human elf village?”

He might be a dark elf, but he was definitely less wary than normal elves.

Ray shook his head and replied.

“I was taken care of in the forest of Grandel.”

“If it’s Grandel, it’s Aira-sama’s forest. It’s a very nice place too.”

“Have you ever been there?”

“I’m not on good terms with the elves, but when I’m in charge of an elder, there’s a lot of work. He didn’t want to go back.”

“yes.”

“Come to think of it, I haven’t heard the story yet. What is your relationship with Aira-sama?”

Unexpectedly, a heavy question came back.

be a relationship

Ray, who was slightly worried, opened his mouth.

“We promised each other a future. Among humans, it is said that they make a promise of 100 years.”

“A hundred years… Where can I get it?”

“I don’t think I will either.”

“I wouldn’t dare interfere, but high elves and humans… they’re not harmonious.”

If Aira had heard it, the road would have gone wild.

An elder elf climbed a huge tree and pointed to a house made of wood.

“That is where you will be staying. No matter how much Aira-sama guarantees you, please don’t move recklessly. We also don’t want to do anything radical in the village.”

They spoke softly, but they said that they would respond if they acted nonsense.

Ray nodded once.

“If you need anything, talk to that child. It’s a little, but it will help.”

At the place the elder elf pointed out, a tall female elf was standing modestly.

Large pupils and moderately stretched nose.

Even if you look at it, it’s like an elf, a race of beauty.

However, there was something that stood out.

‘Your skin is white.’

It’s not that the whole skin is white.

Here and there, the white skin was mixed like a stain.

Since my skin was originally dark, the boundary was clearly visible.

Perhaps feeling her gaze, the female elf raised her hand and covered the spots.

The elder elf shook his head.

“Since when, it has gradually changed. To be a dark elf and still have the skin of an elf… It’s a shame for a dark elf.”

She sighed and took a step back.

His skin, which is different from others, is quite embarrassing.

The elder elf, who was watching it, clicked his tongue and left.

When they were left alone in the treehouse, Ray thought for a moment.

‘It’s definitely vitiligo.’

Vitiligo.

It is an acquired depigmentation disease in which white spots appear on the skin due to the destruction of melanocytes.

The exact cause has not been identified, but it is known that stress or traumatic ultraviolet rays play a secondary role.

There was nothing very surprising about it.

In modern times, it is a common disease that affects 0.5% of the total population.

However, for her as a Dark Elf, it seemed to be an unbearable illness.

Looking at it now, he can’t stand his gaze and is holding the sword…

Huh?

Before he could even question it, Ray hurriedly escaped.

A sword strike fell into the space he was in.

Mana didn’t freeze, so even if it hit, it wouldn’t have been a big hit, but I couldn’t help but feel cold in my heart.

Just because we met eyes once, he pulled out his sword and raised it.

Ray shouted as if he was unfair.

“Why are you doing this to me!” “Don’t look at me! Stop paying attention to me!”

“What have I done!”

“You were staring at me!”

“That’s…!”

It’s an occupational disease!

After confirming the disease, wouldn’t it be necessary to figure out the extent of the lesion!

My own excuse came up to my throat, but I swallowed it with difficulty.

Saying that now will only make things worse.

She glared at Ray as she drew her sword.

“Human being, it would be better not to look at me comfortably. My sword is always hostile to you.”

I thought so.

It was because he tried to insert the sword into his mouth first.

The reliability of the horse was approaching the twelfth.

I was going to give him treatment, but when I was attacked, I felt strange.

Even in modern times, this was the first time that I had ever been attacked when I tried to heal someone.

I don’t know if it was because it was my first time seeing a woman like this, or because I was surprised by the sudden unexpected blow, but my heart pounded and pounded.

Is this an arrhythmia that has only been treated?

he reluctantly replied.

“Okay, calm down.”

“joy.”

Turning her head, she returned to her initial position.

From the first day I arrived at the Dark Elf Village, it was unusual.

I already wanted to meet Aira.

In order to head to the Hana Altar, it is necessary to temporarily cancel the barrier magic.

While waiting for him, I had no choice but to stay in this village even if I didn’t want to.

Ray let out a sigh.

* * *

Being a dark elf, there was not much difference from the elf village.

It is a typical elven village, albeit a little louder and livelier.

They fetch water from streams and eat fruits and leaves of plants.

Ray also had a hard time at first, but after about a week, he was able to adapt roughly.

The name of the female elf he lives with is Selis.

Contrary to her innocent name, her behavior is extremely violent.

In the span of a week, he had received her sword only dozens of times.

Now it was to the point where I could guess when and where the sword would fly.

While I was picking up fruits and reading medical books, I felt a presence outside the door.

When I glanced around, there was Selis covered in scars.

“what’s the matter?”

Ray approached urgently.

It wasn’t serious enough to impede life, but there were not a few residual wounds.

The shoulder seems to be a little loose as if it has been dislocated.

As he reached out, Selis stepped back.

“Don’t touch me.”

“Stay still.”

Ray, with a rather serious expression, ignored her resistance.

Obviously, he added mana to give him strength, but as he was easily pushed back, Selis’ eyes widened a little.

He touched his shoulder briefly before letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the degree of dislocation is not severe.

If you hit the bones and get some rest, you will recover completely.

The expression on his hardened expression did not go away.

‘I don’t know if it’s outside, but the elven village will be safe. But these wounds are…’

It’s not like a trace of a battle.

There were only wounds, almost as if they had been beaten one-sidedly.

When Ray looked up, Selis averted her gaze.

It means you can’t answer.

Ray sighed again.

“If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.”

Taking out disinfectant and homemade medicine from his pack, he started applying them all over the wound.

“What’s this?”

“My treasures made over five years.”

He speaks with a serious face, but this is oddly funny.

Sellis put on a laugh.

“Then those dirty robes must be traces of hardship?”

“You can do that.”

“May I ask why you don’t take off your robe even inside?”

It’s like having scars on your face or patterns you don’t want to see.

As she thought about various reasons, she heard an unexpected sound in her ears.

“Because you’re handsome.”

I told the truth, but a small smile appeared on Sellis’ lips as if he thought it was a joke.

After exchanging a few jokes, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than at the beginning.

Ray looked at her and thought.

‘Looks like there’s something I don’t know.’

In the past, there were often cases in which bruises or scars came back.

However, today was particularly serious.

I guess I shouldn’t leave it like this.

It seemed like I needed to do a little research.

* * *

Lying in the shade reading a medical book, Ray closed his book to the noise around him.

“What kind of elf village is noisy every day?”

When I looked back, there was Selis surrounded by several dark elves.

It doesn’t look good at first glance.

He sharpened his hearing.

Then the sound of their conversation could be heard clearly as if they were talking right next to each other.

“Thank you for letting me do chores.”

“It’s embarrassing to be the same Dark Elf.”

“Don’t show that hideous skin here, go and do it in the corner.”

Perhaps it was because he was a dark elf, so he was different from talking to the elves.

I think I know why the relationship between the two races is bad.

Ray shook his head.

‘I’m going to draw my sword now.’

It was she who pulled out her sword, saying that it was uncomfortable for her to breathe in the same place.

Considering what he had seen so far, there was no way he would pass it on after hearing such an insult.

Contrary to Ray’s expectation, Selis was just moving from place to place holding a wooden bucket in silence.

Then the Dark Elves’ mockery continued.

“A mongrel that was neither an elf nor a dark elf.”

“You say you live in the same house as the humans who entered the village? What a perfect pair. ha ha ha.”

“Sometime I’m going to have to catch me and fix that human’s habit.”

Hearing the words, Ray tilted his head.

Why am I so anxious to die?

It is all the more questionable when people who are so weak that they would die if they gave the wrong strength and hit them even at night.

Selis was stunned by those words and turned around.

“…That person is innocent. Don’t touch it.”

The Dark Elves looked at them with interest when she reacted for the first time.

“ha ha ha. Are you covering that human bastard? No matter how much Serien-sama ordered them to do, they are still human beings.”

“You don’t think Serien-sama really needed a guy like that, did he? Ha ha ha ha ha.”

To be honest, she didn’t think that Serien, a high elf, called because she needed a human.

So, I couldn’t think of anything to say.

“That’s…”

“Shut up. There’s a degree to being ugly! You’re becoming an elf and covering humans!”

One Dark Elf manifested magic.

As a huge fireball flew toward her, she hurriedly drew out her sword and blocked it.

However, it was impossible to completely resolve it because of the belated movement.

Unable to overcome her strength, she fell backwards with her sword.

“Ugh…”

When the situation turned like this, Ray also knew.

The reason why she comes back hurt every day.

Unexpectedly, it was because of the bullying of his fellow Dark Elves.

I can’t believe my skin is a little different, so I’m going to this extent.

Ray’s eyes, which had been watching, slowly cooled.

He rose from the shadows and moved towards the sound.
