It's a long sunny season, but the fortress will be in a hurry before dinner, so head to the sanitary building early.

"Captain Katie, it's Glass. I'm back."

I knocked on the entrance door and didn't hear back - speaking of which, it's time for everyone to go around the patients they're treating.

When no one left, I was told to go in, so I went in. Looking inside the packing - Katie was just stretching out in the middle of her clerical work.

"Nh ~... my shoulders are stiff. Take a break....."

"Good work, Katie."

"Kh... let me, Sensei, are you here already? I just got to the fortress, and I could use a break."

"No, thanks, I'm not too tired. I'm getting used to riding horses."

"Amazing, Sensei... I've trained horseback riding too, but in half a day you'll be sick."

"I'm just getting a ride in the back, so... is everyone in the ward?

Katie nods and laughs bitterly after looking upstairs.

"My men, my patients, when I find out the teacher's back, I'm in a lot of trouble."

"Hahaha... I'm sorry to disturb you."

"No, because the teacher is so admired. As a result of the teacher's guidance, everyone is morally motivated, and some have recovered and returned to duty. The rest of the wounded and sick have already been cut."

"That's good. Let me see each of you later... and this time, I need to talk to you about a few things."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Katie salutes - putting her hand next to her forehead. It tells us that his expression is more clear than when he first arrived, and that the health team's situation has improved.

Now, I think I can move forward with everything I thought about.

"What is the current amount of stockpiled medicine?

"That's... a medicinal merchant, not from the middle. I am sourcing in the territory, but I feel like I am running out of any medicines. We're saving as much as we can on important things like disinfection and pain relief."

"Disinfectant liquor can also be used to disinfect alcohol, so let's negotiate with the breweries in the territory."

"Alcohol is available in the town of Wendell, but it doesn't seem to be enough for disinfection."

Katie raises her concerns, but I smile at her.

"Are the ingredients for alcohol made around here cereals?

"Yes, potatoes, wheat, etc."

"If I can handle this kind of ingredient, I can make it pure enough for disinfection. Ask the brewery to make a high-purity distilled liquor from the beginning, but until it settles down, we'll get disinfectants."

"Well... Sensei, you're also familiar with alcohol. But I'm worried that the burden on the teacher is increasing."

"Disinfection is essential in all aspects of medicine. I hope we can create a supply system if there is demand in the city's hospitals and clinics. We can't use too much grain for that purpose, so we'd like to negotiate more dedicated crop fields."

"Okay, the fortress clerk will do that. Please be assured that we will negotiate as instructed by Dr. Glass."

Katie would suggest that, but I wonder if it would be okay for the clerk to work on my instructions.

"Mr. Glass was supposed to report to His Highness, so the authority in the fortress would be superior to our Captain's. The fact that he reports directly to the Knight Raquel does not change that."

"Ah, thank you. But...."

I have not received a formal order from His Highness, so my authority must not deviate from that of a military physician. I think so, but Katie just smiles.

"I had the opportunity to speak to all the clerks while the teacher was away. Thank you very much for your efforts in resolving the farmland problem. Until then, it was a problem that could not be solved even if a complaint had been received from the people....."

"Mr. Presha, Mr. Diete, and Mr. Randall have the power. The last thing I decided was that His Majesty had to go himself."

"Yes... still, we all know. Thank you, Mr. Glass, for being here to guide us in a good direction."

Katie takes my hand - it's not a handshake, is it a sign of love?

"... ah... I'm sorry. I'm happy to follow you....."

"Yes, no. I was really glad you trusted me... because at first I wondered what would happen."

"Oh, Mr. Glass seems to have calmed down from the beginning. We just got warmed up, and I was so brave."

Whatever you say, your compliments will come back, making you feel spoiled - as you do so.

"... oh, you guys. I wish you'd told me if you'd come back."

Three medics coming down from upstairs are looking at us. They're a little older than me, so I don't know what to say, but they're still fresh.

"Oh, welcome home... but don't tell me you're coming home? When this happens."

"That makes me a Glass Sensei Servant...."

"Lime, Elisa, I can't think because the teacher is back. I'm sorry, these kids are nervous....."

"Ah, Odette's just trying to get some air out. No, she's the one who's really nervous."

Katie smiles bitterly in front of the three people who speak in vain. The age hasn't changed much, but I wonder if Sanitary Captain Katie is like everyone's sister.

"Kohn... I will report to you later on how you did your job in the absence of Mr. Glass. I'm talking about something important right now, so I'm going to take a break."

"Ha, ha... Doctor, a patient who has returned to the front or returned to work in a fortress wants to thank you."

"Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to it."

"Ah... yes, I think you'll be very happy...!

Those who were physically and mentally injured and separated from the front will return as soldiers. It is my own power, and my role is to help in the healing process.

But "I'm just doing my job" is different. I'm glad to be thanked, and it's worth it as a doctor.

Three medics will bail me out and head to the break room. After I dropped them off, Katie looked at me and laughed.

"Thank you for respecting these children and their patients."

"I really think it's too much. But I learned from doctors who were mentoring that patient gratitude was frankly received."

"I think it's a nice thing. I think the way of dealing with patients is different for each doctor. Everyone in this fortress knows Mr. Glass is kind. But it's not just sweet."

Katie returns to her face as a soldier - she has tasted the severity of the battlefield many times more than I have.

"Mr Glass's policy of being launched will have a positive impact on this fortress. So don't hesitate to move us... I think so."

"... now, about negotiating farmland. I would like to ask you to cultivate disinfectants and herbs that are the raw materials for other medicines. I will prepare seedlings and seeds for cultivation methods and medicinal herbs."

"Yes, sir. Get a professional to help you with your medicines. The three of you, Lime, Odette, and Elisa, are young but enthusiastic about their work and have some knowledge of medicine."

"That helps. In Wangdu Hospital, the pharmacist (gizzard) is in charge of dispensing medicine, but it would be nice to have a dispensing department in the health team."

"The dispensing department... allows you to produce medicine in a fortress. Once that happens, you won't have to wait for replenishment from the center."

Since the delivery of supplies from the center was stagnant, we are still out of central dependence.

The rest is to secure food that can compensate for the lack of nutrition. Since there is a lack of nutrients obtained from cereals alone, it is good to be able to provide a stable supply of supplements. Not only is it nutritious, but it is also conditional on the taste being as good as possible.

Since Euselisis has access to all plants grown in the Western realm, it selects crops that are likely to be stable and asks farmers to produce them. The conversation will go smoothly if we ask through luxuries such as the Rhinefeldt family, which unites the peasants.

The production of distilled liquor for disinfection, the establishment of a medicinal herb production and dispensing division, and food production - although it will take a little time from now to produce results, we have never gone too far to work on them as soon as possible.

And one more thing. The problem with this fortress - I'm the only one with a medic.

The military doctor will be absent when I leave the fort. Medical instruction is provided to all medical soldiers, but physicians with specialized skills are required for difficult surgeries.

"Katie, I heard that the military doctor who was in front of me is currently in town for medical treatment....."

"... my predecessor, Nina Corsair, is in a clinic in the town of Wendell. People from the Medical Corps visit me once a month, but I'm from the West, so I keep telling them I'm going to retire."

"... is that so?"

I saw Dr. Nina's medical record, but at first it was written in a calm script, and at some point it began to disturb the border decisively.

Due to the shortage of military doctors, her responsibilities on her shoulders were heavy, and she was unable to continue her mission for so long after the first death from the wounded.

However, as far as Dr. Nina's surgical records and the patients who actually underwent the surgery were concerned, I felt that the surgery with the same instrument would have more experience and more technical certainty than I did.

"For now, there is no immediate threat to Fort Irrose. If Professor Nina were to return... would that still be difficult?"

Katie lays her eyes down. The possibility of retirement means that Nina's condition is still poor.

It might be better to think of another way, but Raquel and the others are stationed at Fort East Zirconia, and there are patients at Fort Irrose. In this state, I can't say that I'm doing enough military medicine on my own.

"... one day, Sensei Nina... no, I thought I had to go to Nina's. I wanted you to stay away from the front line, not in Wendell... but I postponed the answer."

"Katie is different from Nina...."

"I don't just think of her as one of the same Knights, I think of her as a friend... even now"

Katie's eyes were wet with tears. I've always wondered, but I still kept Nina away from the fortress because I wanted her back.

"... I'd like to see her, who was a military doctor before I came to this fortress. I want to thank her for being a doctor even in difficult circumstances."

"I see. I'll get permission to go out to Wendell's town tomorrow. Will Mr. Glass be accompanied when His Highness crosses the Zirconian side again?

"Yes, I would like to accompany you if Your Highness tells me to."

"Now, I wonder when His Highness will be leaving... no, I wonder if I have a direct message to Mr. Glass."

"There will be a call later. I'll talk to Nina so she can make time to see her teacher."

"... thank you very much. I'm sorry that you took so much care of Dr. Glass."

Katie is putting her hand on her chest. You don't look so good - you're probably nervous about seeing Nina.

"Captain Katie, may I have a moment?

I got up from my seat and Katie, who was sitting, turned her back. I've been thinking about it since I got here, but it looks like my body is bleeding quite badly because of office work and so on.

"Professor Glass, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, about meeting with Professor Nina...."

"No, there is a little stiffness in the muscles of the upper body, so let's keep the blood circulating."

I'll take out the herbs to relieve the inflammation of the muscles and start chanting magic - just remember it without having to use words.

(Green grass, give me that healing power... "Green healing (green heel)"...!)

The potency of the herb is converted into magic and extracted, and it acts directly on the affected area. Holding hands for a while improves Katie's circulation of blood around her shoulders.

"Nh... wow... my shoulders are slightly lighter..."

"That's good... Katie, take as long as you can."

"... Sensei is tired, but I can't give you anything back."

"No, don't worry. If there's anything I can do...."

--On the way, Katie stood up and turned behind me. And you loosened my shoulders.

"Captain Katie...."

"Fufu... that's all I can do. Mr. Glass may be asking Mr. Randall to do it."

Katie smiles happily. She seems to have taken care of me, but when you two touch me like this, I feel a little restless.

"Captain, it's dinner time. What do you say?

"Ah... I see, I wonder what to do. What about Dr. Glass?

"I'll call Mr. Randall before I go. Captain Katie, thank you for taking the time to speak with me."

"No... there was so much I wanted to talk to you about."

As soon as I left the sanitary building, I broke up with Captain Katie and went to my room. On the way, I found Leslie just coming out of her dorm.

"Glass... Glass Sensei, I was told to come to your room."

"Oh, thank you. What about Mr. Randall?

"I'll go with you. I want to hear everything about the teacher."

Behavior as Leslie began to appear in front of me, but because it was for my cute sister, I decided to have her accompany me.

"... Mr. Glass, I smell a little soap."

"Eh... no, that's..."

"Did someone treat you in the sanitary wing...? It's so much better to go home and pull back early."

I wonder if there was any incense transfer when Katie was treated - I haven't touched it directly, but it's hard to despise a maiden's intuition.
