Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

“Hi, how are you today?”

It was the doctor himself who called out to us.

This doctor is a man with the impression of a gentle uncle with fine wrinkles in his eyes.

There's someone here that I'd like you to accept for a few days.

"Do you mean...?"

"May I see you once?" I'm putting it on the carriage outside. ”

"The patient himself is coming, isn't he?" Please wait a moment. "

The doctor who heard Surakutan's story said that he was a nurse who was in the back. He gave instructions to his assistant, a cat woman, and brought a leather tool case, and he immediately came to the carriage.

It is a very different response from the doctor who went to the hospital for the first time.

"This is... excuse me for a moment."

The doctor who saw Tetra's condition immediately goes up to the loading platform and begins to check on Tetra's condition.

“Okay, let's host for a few days.”

Thank you!

The doctor nods at me like it's an instant.

Good. Now that you're at ease, Heine bows her head to thank you.

However, for some reason, he has a slippery face.

The doctor's response was sincere, and he decided to accept it immediately. Is there any dissatisfaction?

It was when the doctor got out of the carriage and tried to start accepting it.

"That's great!" Tetra! You're safe now! ”

When Heine called out to Tetra, her awareness seemed to have surfaced, and Tetra opened her eyes thinly.

Looking at Heine peeking into his face, Heine notices it and explains the current situation.

"I came to the hospital on the other side of the city. It seems that they will accept it, so don't worry anymore."

Tetra reacts to Heine's words in an attempt to reassure her.

Is it because I haven't recovered yet? I am trying to say something, but I can't understand the words.

Heine brings her ears closer to Tetra, but she still doesn't seem to be able to hear it well.

However, moving her body, which was supposed to hurt, Tetra grabbed Heine's left hand with her left hand. No, I don't have the strength to grab it, so it might be better to say I touched it.

When Heine sees it, she sees Tetra's hand touching hers, and then shows her gesture to think about something.

"...... Surakuta. I'm sorry, but you might want to think about putting Tetra in here."

For some reason, Heine begins to say such things to Surakitan.

Mother?!

"Piltee, trust me."

"I agree with Heine-san."

I'll say no. [M] Everyone get the carriage out first and go back to where Tetra and the others live. ”

Even though he accepted the corner, Heine, who was about to refuse it, was surprised to hear what Pilté was about to say, but the pompous conversation progressed and we were forced to run the carriage while we were at it.

From my point of view, I don't know why you decided to jump out of that hospital. But... because Heine and Surakitan insisted that we shouldn't put Tetra in that hospital, there must be some reason.

We ended up not putting Tetra in the hospital, but going home to Dragonfly.

It was time to run the carriage and get to where Tetra lived, and Suratan caught up with the carriage. The expression that people catch up to the carriage is strange, but I notice that... it is actually the case, so it is difficult to express anything else.

Sura-tan comes back and jumps on the carriage.

"Surakuta, can you explain something to me?"

"... yeah."

I thought of asking Heine as soon as I put out the carriage, but I waited because I wanted to hear the story of Surakutan.

I and Pilte had no choice but to turn back thinking that the hospital was not good for them, but I am curious as to why.

“I thought it was strange when she saw Tetra-san.

Even though she doesn't know what's wrong with Tetra-san, she examined him without wearing protective gear, right? "

"Ah... that's right."

"When I see Mr. Tetra falling over, I will wear protective gear with suspicion of infection first. At least, I won't touch the affected area with my bare hands."

I always wear cloth gloves when I change Tetra's bandages so that something doesn't happen to me and Sura-Tan. There's a chance that the germs will move from us to Tetra.

However, the doctor had removed the bandage with his bare hands without doing so.

“I think the doctor probably knew what caused Tetra to get sick. That's why I knew I wouldn't move even if I touched it with my bare hands."

"Hey, hey... I mean..."

“Yes, I think Tetra went to the first hospital, and after being paid at the gate, she went to that hospital.”

"Did you get a medical checkup and tell me that you're okay or not sick?"

"I didn't hear that much, but I think that's probably the case."

When I refused to be admitted to the hospital, I was desperately trying to stop it. "

"So... I was trying to hide my first diagnosis...?"

Even if the diagnosis Tetra received when she went alone is out of the ordinary, if people find out that she is in her current state, they will lose all trust. I was going to accept it at the hospital and shut my mouth to prevent that from happening...

"I don't think it would take my life, but I gave you some money, and maybe I did something that I didn't have this time..."

That's terrible.

"Is there anything that even a doctor would make a mistake?"

"Yes, even doctors are not perfect because they are human, and I think there are things that can go wrong. Of course, doctors know that it is a profession that should not be mistaken, and I made a mistake because I am doing the job, but it cannot be done. It's a job where people's lives and lives are in their hands.

It's just... I think she may have deliberately misdiagnosed Tetra. "

Deliberately?!

"When that doctor looked at Tetra and touched the affected area with his bare hands, he knew what Tetra's illness was."

In short, when Tetra visited by herself, she already knew what the illness was, but she could not pay for the treatment, so the doctor deliberately gave Tetra the wrong diagnosis.

"What is that?!"

"I can't believe it! Is it okay for such a person to be a doctor?! In that case, you should still pay at the front gate?!"

"I also think that such an act is a serious act on the part of the doctor. So, when I said no, I said a few things.

I told him that if he still had a piece of his doctor's bag, he should take responsibility for what he did. "

It seems that she didn't hit her, but what she was doing as a doctor was worse than the doctor at the first hospital.

If the doctor says it's okay, the patient will believe it. Tetra is the same. The result, as we see it.

"I wonder if I can tell the people of the city about this."

"You've been fooled by your tender face and attitude."

"Unfortunately, the people around me seem to have a lot of trust, and it doesn't make much sense to talk about this."

Those who can pay will be well diagnosed and treated, and those like Tetra and the others will be handled in a messy manner. However, the attitude seems kind, and even if people like Tetra and the others make noise, no one will listen, so that man's position will not waver. Maybe that's what he's doing, you know.

Really sucks!

"Well... if you do that, I'm sure you'll definitely get a painful tip back someday." It's not that sweet in the world.

However, I can't just leave it like this, and I'm thinking of taking it to the guild or something. ”

"Let's go with me." Since you're an S-rank adventurer, it'll be easy to talk through it. "

I don't think it would be right to take it to the Adventurer's Guild, but if I became an Alliance Master, I would have many faces. If the S-rank adventurer comes and wants to meet the Guildmaster, I'll pass first. If we talked about it, there would be a lot of movement.

"... why did your mother object?"

When I heard Surakitan's story, I knew that the doctor was the worst, but Heine doesn't have that much medical knowledge. Still, I disagreed at the time. It's certainly strange why.

“I saw Tetra's reaction.”

Is that a reaction…?

"Even when I was in this state, I tried to move my body and grab my hand." It's not normal. If you're relieved by what I say, you wouldn't think of telling me that much.

That's why I thought you didn't want to go to that hospital. "

I see you've noticed, right?

I watched Tetra's reaction, but I never thought about it.

"Once upon a time, when Pilate was still a child, he fell ill and fell asleep. That's when Tetra reacted in the same way. But I actually thought that I wanted to go to the bathroom and drink water."

O, Mother?!

I almost saw the end.....

"Not when I was a kid."

“That's not the problem!”

"I see? Well, I realized that I had that kind of experience."

I didn't think it was about the Pilate mines, but it seemed to come from my mother's unique experience.

"Well, unfortunately, I can't go to the hospital anymore, but... what should I do?"

"Even if you ask me what to do..."

There are no other hospitals, but there are no other hospitals that are fine even if Tetra comes in. I might be able to get you in if you save up some money...

"We don't have time to stay in this city for days."

Effe, who had not spoken for a long time, opens his mouth.

I don't think you need to say that at this time, but it's definitely a journey in a hurry.

Sinya-kun.

Sura-tan calls out to me with a face that seems to say something.

"... I understand. I can't just leave you like this." If Tetra himself says it's okay, I'll take you there until you feel better. ”

Thank you! Sinya-kun!

We also have all-purpose drugs and antidotes, and the quickest way to get them is to take them.

If Tetra wants to stay in the city herself, we'll have to find another way, but we'll be ready to take her out.

If I go ahead, I don't know what else to do, and Efu doesn't say anything.

"Well then, I and Shinya will go to the Adventurer's Guild and talk to you." Everyone, please explain to Tetra-san's baggage and those people. Then I'll meet you at the north gate. "

"Yeah. Okay."

Got it!

The ship. I told you to take responsibility for Tetra and take care of her until she gets well.

So, Slatan and I headed to the Adventurer's Guild, and when we talked to the Guildmaster, he moved behind the scenes, leaving the rest to the North Gate.

Nil and the others, like I said, took Tetra back once, explained to the remaining people, and collected Tetra's package. That said, I think I had almost nothing.

Then, on the way to the north gate, Tetra woke up and nodded to me as I accompanied my journey. After the rendezvous, I took Tetra out of the city.

When I entered this city, I didn't expect to have more people with me. Besides, that's what Heine and Pilate hated about Tetra... I don't know what's going to happen in the world.

Of course, I didn't mean to take Tetra to the demon world. Tetra has no fighting power, and she'll recover by the time she reaches the Demon Realm, so we'll be breaking up on the way. I heard from Heine that there is a city about the same distance away, and I think we will break up with Tetra there, but until then, let's take good care of it.

"Nevertheless, there are doctors like that."

"Unfortunately, in that sense, doctors are also human." What about the demon world? "

"Doctors in the demon world belong to the church." Therefore, if you are completely neutral and the doctor himself has done bad things, the church and the entire demon tribe will not shut up, so unless you are a grand fool, the doctor will not do bad things, and you will not knowingly make a wrong diagnosis.

That's why I get so angry when I see doctors feeding their patients. ”

According to the Adventurer's Guild Master that we took with us, the doctor seems to be that there is something like a doctor's license, and it is the church that issues it. In short, doctors in the demon world and doctors outside the demon world, in terms of licensing, there is no such big difference.

However, considering the actual situation, unlike the churches in the demon world, there are many rotten people in this church, and there are many churches that are like nests of evil.

Doctors' licenses are not issued by looking at the actual technology, but under whom they have learned is important, and those who have learned under famous doctors will issue doctor's licenses almost unconditionally. In other words, even those who are technically immature seem to be in a state where a doctor can be formed.

Of course, if my teacher's son fails, it will defame the name of the master, so the master will not give out OK easily. Therefore, it seems that a certain level has been maintained, but there are quite a few people who are not.

Doctors like that, the destination of Yabu Doctors of Modoki is usually decided, and even such an arm gathers in a lucrative place. For example, the whole city is in ruins, and the worn-out city is a good place to make money.

Exactly, that was the Nanura that came out earlier.

"It's really sad, but a doctor is a profession with a lot of demand and little supply, so that's what you can do.

Originally, I don't have a doctor's license, so it's against the law for me to take care of it, and I can't tell you about people. "

"Suratan is not such a bad doctor!"

That's right!

“I'm really glad they're saying that, but I'm not a doctor if the church won't forgive me.”

"Then I'll apply to the church in the demon world!" The Church in the Demon Realm will use technology to judge it, so if Suratan leaves, we'll get a shot! "

"That's right! Let's do it!"

"Hahaha, I don't think doctors are that sweet."

It's okay!

"Well, I don't know where Pilte's confidence comes from, but... I see." If you two can tell me that, I might be able to go there when I have time. ”

"If Surakitan becomes a doctor, we can go to the hospital."

Shi, Shinya-kun... I can't believe you believe me so much...

"There will be no other hospital where you can get free treatment!"

"Zero willingness to pay?!"

"Are you taking money from your best friend?"

"Will you give out your best friend only at a time like this?!"

"Haha. I'm just kidding. But once everything is settled, it might not be a bad idea to really aim for a doctor. I was originally aiming for a doctor, so it's not a bad idea to try again."

"That's right... that might be good."

As for Surakutan, I have to go to the demon world and save the demon king from now on. However, if I talk about the future, my feelings will be light and bright. The atmosphere darkened because of the doctor was just the right thing to talk about.

"First, let's head north, but let's take turns taking care of Tetra." Watch and remember what Surakutan and I are going to do. "

Got it.

"Recovery is slow, but if you feed them something good for their digestion and nourish them, they will recover."

If it's good for digestion, is the porridge (itch) good?

Nil-san, you knew the porridge very well, didn't you?

"Master taught me."

"That's right. I wonder if you'd like me to feed them something like that." But you don't have to force them to eat. If you want to leave just enough to eat, you can leave it. "

"Should I get nutritious, but don't I have to feed them?"

"If you force them to eat, the contents of your stomach will be returned." Then, the esophagus... my throat burns and it's not good. It's not good to not feed them at all, but it's not good to force them to eat. ”

"I see... I see."

"After that, you have to change the bandage until the wound heals."

“We'll do it.”

"I see. I would like to see the condition of the wounds occasionally, but at other times I'll leave it to Heine-san and the others."

"Is that all I need to be careful of?"

"Yeah, let me know if there's anything unusual, but otherwise."

Roger that.

Departing for the north, we drove the carriage straight north until nightfall, through the meadows and into the rocky mountains.

For a while from here, some monsters will come out.

“That way, I think we should get this far today and get going in earnest tomorrow.”
