Chapter.6 Doctor’s Evening

“Is it because you don’t know how Mr. May raised you? Even though I feed and clothe you with only good things in a difficult life, I don’t do anything… . Besides, your father died at a young age, so he raised you as a complete stranger!”

“I know that! but… .”

The young man lowered his head.

“Man, I’m so confused! My mom wasn’t my mom… .”

“Mom is not a mother, but she is a mother if she has raised you for over 20 years. “This bastard is real!”

Mr. Knoll starts to get angry. The young man was scared and flinched.

“that… .”

And I couldn’t even say anything. As if turning a horse around, he picked up the Uba belly fat that I had put out.

“This is delicious. “I didn’t eat breakfast and skipped lunch because of my injury.”

“If you’re hurt, you should go home quickly. “It’s a consultation or something, you just eat that and go back to Mr. May right away!”

“But the atmosphere in the house is shit! “It’s so uncomfortable.”

“You bastard, I still vividly remember May getting frostbite while going to the doctor to tell her you were sick!”

“… … .”

From what I could see, this young man’s mother seemed to be a very warm person. If what Mr. Knoll says is true. So even I felt frustrated with the young man.

“honey!”

In the meantime, Ms. Layne ran into the restaurant and looked for her husband. My forehead was covered in sweat.

“Honey, you’re in big trouble! “Are you with Neline?”

“Yeah, it’s here.”

“Hello ma’am.”

Neline looked at Mr. Raine, got up from the chair and nodded. But Mr. Laine’s face says that greetings are not important right now. It seemed very urgent. So much so that I didn’t even know Elena existed.

“you you! This is not the time. Mr. May was seriously injured in the mine!”

“yes?”

“I guess Mr. May didn’t know that you left school early because you were hurt! “There was a landslide in the mine, and I guess I got caught up in it.”

“What is that! “Why?”

“I think he went to bring a packed lunch for you who works at night… .”

“madam… No, mom… ?”

The young man looked embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.

“Come down quickly! You!”

“okay!”

Mr. Knoll winks at me. I nodded. Because I don’t think it’s time to eat right now. This probably means that you will calculate it later.

The three people quickly ran down the hill. A quiet restaurant. I saw an elf. She was staring blankly at the three people who had disappeared.

“You said you were running a clinic, right? “Before that, since you are an elf, you will be able to use healing magic.”

“yes? yes. that’s right.”

“You said earlier that you only end up disappointed because you don’t know people well… .”

Elena quietly nodded. Before I knew it, the sauce on my head had been wiped off.

“Please think differently. That young man’s mother has raised a child she never gave birth to on her own for decades. If his father also passed away at an early age, what do you think of the heart of a person who wanders around looking for medicine even though his feet are suffering from frostbite, even though he is literally a stranger? He’s not my biological child. “My biological child.”

“that… .”

Elena blinked her big eyes. Flash. Flash. The blinking continues for a long time.

“You may have been disappointed because you were only looking at the surface. So, why don’t you come down together? “No matter how much you hate humans, you haven’t forgotten your belief in saving lives, right?”

Healing magic. It is a type of magic that is completely different from offensive or defensive magic. Even Lurin can’t use it properly.

The use of healing magic is said to be imbued with divine power. Or elves who love nature and peace. Because the entities that can be used are limited.

“El is right. sorry. I guess I felt strange for a moment. I’d like to go down first. Life has to be saved first. “If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll help.”

I chased after Knoll with Elena who nodded. They are north of the city. I ran to the side of the road leading to the mines of Great Mountain. There is a city at the bottom of the hill, and beyond the city is Mount Gray to the north, so it’s quite a distance away.

In front of him, many injured people were being moved from the mine. There were many corpses and many patients.

Mr. Knoll was also seen. A person who appears to be the young man’s mother is being carried on a stretcher. As we got closer, Mr. Laine pretended to know.

“LC? “Did you follow me here?”

“Yes, Elena was eating, so I brought her here.”

“uh! “Elena?”

“God Raine!”

The two people nod their heads. However, the joy was short-lived, and Mr. Laine immediately shook his head.

“I feel so sorry. Mr. May… It seems that he was worried that his son might be starving because he didn’t bring a lunchbox with him, so he brought a lunchbox with him to eat while working at night and went to the mine, but then there was a rockfall accident… Moreover, in the letter… .”

Mr. Layne burst into tears. There was a letter in her hand.

The young man must have already read the letter, kneeling down towards the motionless woman and crying for his mother.

The content of the letter was simple.

[Nelyn. Anyway, there’s no way you can go without eating, right? Since you don’t seem to want to talk to me for a while, I’ll leave your lunch box and letter with your colleague. Still. Won’t you call me mom again someday? Someday. Because mom doesn’t have any strength these days. You know that? Mom is your mom. Even if you don’t acknowledge it, I’m your mother… .]

“The people who were brought in on the stretcher were hit on the head with large stones, so it would probably be difficult for them to survive… . Ugh, I’ve been through a lot of hardships all my life, so how could something like this happen… !”

Mr. Laine continued to sob, and the young man continued to cry out for his mother. Now.

How are you going to live the rest of your life if your mother leaves like that, calling you an old woman?

Elena, who read the letter with me, nodded with a big decision on her face. Even though the young man didn’t like it, he seemed to feel sorry for the woman lying down, as I said.

“Would you like to get out of the way? “I will take a look.”

“Yes, that’s right! Nelyn Elena is a skilled healer. “Stay out of the way just in case!”

Mr. Layne, who was sobbing, joined in and grabbed Nelyn’s shoulder. Elena quietly looked at the woman. There is nothing I can do about a person’s life, no matter how much mana they have.

“I’m going to use the competition uniform. “I don’t know if my mana will keep up.”

Elena grabbed the woman and shouted that. He seemed to hesitate in the restaurant, but at this moment, he was back to being an elf who sacrificed his life.

A bright light shines from Elena’s hand.

Soon sweat formed on Elena’s forehead. Luckily, the woman regained consciousness by the time the sweat stopped dripping.

That was a miracle. Great Clothing is the highest level of healing magic that elves have, so its very existence is a miracle.

“mom! mom!”

Then the young man rushed over. The woman lying down seemed to have barely come to her senses and stretched out her hand toward her son.

“Nelyn again…” again… Are you calling me mom?”

After saying just one word, the woman smiled and dropped the hand she was reaching for her son.

“mom? mom!”

Even I was surprised. I wonder if he just died.

“are you okay. “You just lost your mind and you’ve passed the crisis.”

Fortunately, Elena reassured the young man that it was okay. She stumbled as she got up, probably because she had used up most of her mana. I quickly helped her up. Mr. Raine held the woman with a happy face and cried with the young man. Mr. Knoll was beside him and patted Mr. Reine on the back.

“Are you okay?”

“yes I’m okay.”

Elena also nodded. It didn’t look very good though. Still, she instinctively looked at the other injured people around her.

“I think there are many people who can stop the bleeding if they can use heels… Mana… I used up all my mana… .”

And then he trembled his eyebrows with a sad expression.

“But I think I was thinking something wrong. As L said, I think I was only looking at the surface too much. I would like to stay here a little longer. Then, I thought, I might be able to find other aspects of humans. “Of course I don’t know yet.”

Elena said that and tried to move unsteadily. But no matter how you look at it, caring for other patients is impossible.

I can’t help it.

“Hold on a moment, Elena.”

“yes?”

“I can’t use healing magic, but I think I can replenish your depleted mana. Would you like to leave it to me?”

“four?”

At the same time Elena made a puzzled face, I touched her forehead.

And some of the mana flowed to her. This is a skill called Mana Transfer.

“This…” … .”

“are you okay. “This is a secret art learned from Beden, an elf, so it won’t harm the elves.”

Elena, the elf, will know better than ever that what I say is true. After a while, I took my hand off my forehead and said,

“It may be difficult to wear competition clothes, but simple healing magic can now be used. Please help people. Then find what you are looking for.”

Elena looked at me with a curious face.

“L, you are so amazing! that that… I’ll come back to see you all again. Please tell me about Beden’s story someday. If someone doesn’t do it to the great being above… . It’s a little scary, but… .”

Elena muttered that and ran towards the patients. Perhaps because my mana had recovered, I didn’t stumble any further.

“I’m going to help you, so move your hands.”

Her face was smiling as she examined the patient.

There is nothing left for me to do. More and more soldiers were flocking in, and more doctors would also be added.

I turned around and started walking towards the hill. To go back.

Then I got kicked in the chest. I was knocked to the ground by the sudden surprise attack.

“you! you! you! you! When I dug out the ground and came out, there was no one there. Do you know how surprised I was? “I’ve never disappeared on a night like this before!”

A stranger jumped into my body and grabbed me by the collar.

Needless to say, it is our family’s dragon.

The dragon had a scruffy appearance, its entire body completely covered in dirt, as if it had used teleportation as soon as it found no one in the restaurant while digging.

It’s such a shame that you can’t see it. My pretty face is covered in dirt. Ugh.

“Oh sorry. “I forgot to tell you.”

“It’s too much, girl!”

“Are you scared and came here in a hurry because no one was there?”

When I ask a question with a sigh, the dragon takes his hand off the collar and jumps up.

“Don’t be ridiculous! “Why would this body do such a thing!”

“Okay, okay, let’s go back and I’ll wash you. “It was definitely a bit too much to leave without saying anything.”

“Is that so? What’s going on! Are you fully acknowledging it? Then it includes Kook. “Kkookdo!”

“I thought about it and said, ‘But does this insectivore kick because of that?’”

“I do not know! “I never did that!”

Lulin pulled away and got out of the way from me. Thanks to this, my clothes are also covered in dirt. But something felt better.

“In the old days, I never even thought about caring for life. Would you say that you are just tired of fighting? “It feels a bit different to be helping save lives when I used to only fight and destroy.”

Rurin, who heard what I said, tilted her head as if asking what I meant.

“Hmm. I don’t know what it is, but didn’t you save me before? Who says they just destroyed it! Bring it. “I will rip it to shreds and give you breath.”

“So, I saved your life?”

“Hehe, you look so stupid today.”

“I know.”

I nodded.

Then, I started walking toward the restaurant, holding the hand of the dragon who tilted his head once again, perhaps surprised by me nodding his head obediently.
