Chapter 13

Moa, Jin Yeongang, and Jin Dowoon sat huddled together in front of Geumoh.

Jin Yeongang looked at his spirit creature with a tense expression.

‘I wonder…?’

Moa, wearing a white doctor’s coat, spoke to Geumoh with serious eyes.

“It’ll be over quickly! I’ll make you better!”

Moa went thunk-

When she opened the lid of her medical bag, colorful toys came clattering out.

Jin Yeongang looked down at the objects he was seeing for the first time with curious eyes.

They were all things he had never seen before.

“Where did these precious items come from?”

Unlike Yeongang who was just looking, Jin Dowoon picked up a syringe that had rolled on the floor and asked seriously.

Jin Dowoon’s eyes widened slightly at the texture of plastic he was touching for the first time.

“It’s hollow inside and light, and the color is fascinating. The seams are a bit visible though.”

The syringe, made for children ages 3 and up, was large, plump, and colorful to fit snugly in their hands, and it looked incredibly fascinating to Jin Dowoon.

Instead of responding, Moa burned with determination to heal as she neatly arranged her tools one by one.

[Gurrgle.]

Geumoh, lying on what he considered an examination table—a soft cushion—was watching Moa’s every fingertip movement.

Though it looked ridiculous like playing doctor, Moa was extremely serious.

“Patient, please state your name.”

[Guu.]

Geumoh, understanding Moa’s words, cried softly in response. It was speech that only his master Jin Yeongang could hear.

Then amazingly, words appeared on the diagnosis form Moa held in her hand!

-Name: Geumoh

“Wow!”

Moa’s eyes widened. Words writing themselves automatically!

Somehow the word “treasure” finally felt real.

Though she put on a serious face worried about what Dowoon and Yeongang might say, Moa had also been nervously unable to fully trust the toy inside.

“What about your age?”

“Geumoh’s age should be the same as mine, so eleven years old.”

This time Jin Yeongang, who had been watching with fascination, answered.

-Age: 11 years old

Amazingly, it appeared in Korean to Moa, and in Imperial language to Yeongang and Dowoon.

“Good, then next…”

This time Moa picked up a stethoscope and put it in her ears. The end was shaped like a heart.

When she carefully placed it against what she thought was probably Geumoh’s chest area-

‘Huh?’

Warm heat rose from Moa’s fingertips holding the end of the stethoscope.

That heat transferred to the stethoscope, then white light sparkled where it contacted Geumoh’s scales.

Moa felt something warm spreading from inside her stomach and swallowed hard.

‘What kind of power is this?’

When Moa removed the stethoscope, a faint trace of light remained on Geumoh’s scales.

“Huh? What’s this?”

Jin Yeongang looked closely at Geumoh in surprise.

“Something… I can see something black.”

Below where the light had touched, something like a black shadow was flickering.

That shadow writhed like a parasite, as if running away from Moa’s light.

It looked very ominous.

Moa’s eyes scrunched up at the disgusting sight.

‘This must be why Geumoh is sick!’

Something crawling under the skin. It was certainly enough to cause pain.

Moa tried hard to remember how she had just used her power.

Since she had used it unconsciously, she couldn’t remember how she had drawn the power up from her stomach.

However, fortunately, when Moa placed the stethoscope against him again, that warm power flowed out easily.

‘Ah, that’s why…!’

Only then did Moa understand what Somi had said.

They were only toys in appearance, but these were truly special tools.

These were tools that helped Moa easily use the divine power she couldn’t properly control.

-Thump, thump.

A quiet sound that shouldn’t have been audible to Moa’s ears could be heard. It sounded like Geumoh breathing.

“Patient, breathe hoo-hoo-“

When Moa gave instructions without missing the change, Geumoh tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

However, contrary to Geumoh’s reaction, sound clearly leaked from the stethoscope.

[Huaang, my stomach hurts.]

Something like a child’s voice came out from the end of the stethoscope!

All the children’s eyes went wide. Even Jin Dowoon, who had lost his emotions but could still feel surprise, had his eyebrows twitch.

Moa instinctively placed the stethoscope on Geumoh’s stomach. Then the voice came out again.

[It hurts so much there!]

Below the stethoscope, in the stomach area, dark writhing energy was gathered like parasites clustered together.

Right after the voice echoed, content began to be written on the diagnosis form.

-Diagnosis: Abdominal pain of unknown cause (Tool level too low to view detailed diagnosis.)

-Treatment: Take temperature first, then give appropriate medicine! (Medication varies according to body temperature.)

Moa gaped at the words that wrote themselves.

“Wow, this is amazing!”

A cutting-edge tool that writes by itself!

Moa excitedly picked up the thermometer and scanned Geumoh’s appearance. Covered in fluttering scales, it was hard to find exactly where his ears were.

“This won’t work. Open your mouth~”

Seeing Moa’s sparkling eyes, Geumoh cried “gurrr” as if briefly scared.

However, when Jin Yeongang, who had gained a strange trust from the series of events, held him from behind, he had no choice but to open his mouth.

Moa, who had placed the thermometer under the scale dragon’s tongue, clicked the button.

In the brief moment, Moa, who had become accustomed to unconsciously using her power, released divine power at the same time as pressing the button.

Then instead of a temperature number, the word ‘Normal’ appeared in the window.

‘I’ll definitely make you better…!’

Moa earnestly resolved as she picked up the toy medicine bottle and opened the cap.

At that moment.

“Huh?”

The power that had been filling Moa’s small body like air poured into the medicine bottle.

Divine golden power, warm enough to feel, swirled inside the medicine bottle.

Dowoon and Yeongang, who witnessed this scene, both stared at Moa in shock and bewilderment.

The child wrapped in brilliantly sparkling light, like a messenger of the Heavenly Deity.

‘She did it! Moa has completely mastered using divine power!’

Meanwhile, Somi, who had been cheering so hard from within Moa’s shadow that her paws were sweating, felt great relief.

The toys were certainly tremendous treasures that supplemented Moa’s power and helped young Moa understand the concept of healing.

But in fact, the healing itself was accomplished entirely through Moa’s own power.

Truly feeling the desire to heal someone. Moa’s healing power could only be fully demonstrated when she appropriately released her power.

Suddenly the back of Moa’s hand sparkled…

-‘Curse Healing’ activated

-Treasure Vault response rate increased by 15%

-Guardian Spirit growth: Stage 2

‧Materialization efficiency increased

-Main Mission in Progress · · · · · ·

Text visible only to Somi’s eyes covered the air.

Though time seemed to stop for a moment, in reality, Moa’s divine power released in the blink of an eye created medicine that looked like transparent, sparkling star candy.

Somehow it looked more like a sweet snack than medicine.

Moa’s eyes sparkled. An exclamation of ‘Ooh…’ naturally escaped her lips.

However, the child resisted the temptation and took the medicine from the bottle, then gently placed it into Geumoh’s mouth.

At that moment.

[Cough, cough, cough!]

Geumoh writhed in agony, his whole body convulsing.

“Geu, Geumoh!”

Startled, Yeongang jumped up from his seat.

The restless young boy looked back at Moa with anxious eyes.

But before the worry could last long, Geumoh let out a “Kwek!” and spat something black as poison out of his mouth.

A very murky energy soaked the cushion.

Soon, Geumoh’s eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy even when not rampaging, became clear.

Golden dew-like sweat formed and flowed over his scales.

The dull scales fell onto the cushion with a rustling sound.

A mysterious occurrence in the body of a dragon that neither metabolized nor molted.

Though an absurd thing had happened, Geumoh finally cried out joyfully with a “Kurrr” as if everything was finished.

As if announcing his recovery to everyone, when Geumoh stood on the debris, the murky energy couldn’t penetrate the dragon’s hard scales and disappeared as if burning.

“…You’ve returned.”

Yeongang’s eyes filled with emotion.

Once the series of events ended, to the point where he wondered why he hadn’t noticed before… the previous Geumoh had been a mess.

Looking at those eyes clear as a mirror, he clearly recalled that this was truly how he looked up until three years ago.

“Thank you. Really…”

Yeongang’s eyes instantly reddened.

Transparent tears wet the young boy’s gaunt face.

He felt clear and clean, as if long-standing insomnia had lifted.

“Hehe. I’m so glad.”

Moa smiled brightly. Tears also formed drop by drop at the corners of Moa’s eyes.

Though the earlier mystique had disappeared, to Yeongang there was no smile more like sunshine than this.

‘Is something really changing…?’

Jin Dowoon looked back and forth between his beloved younger brother and the small but incredibly amazing child who had saved him.

An indescribable emotion briefly passed through him.

His hand unconsciously reached out before stopping in mid-air. An impulse arose to do something for the two of them.

But like someone who had forgotten how to react, he only clenched his fists tightly.

Imun, who had been quietly staying by his master’s side, approached Moa quietly as if to say not to forget about his master too, and rubbed his forehead against her small hand.

‘Thank goodness… Yeongang will be okay now too, right?’

Seeing the changed Geumoh and Yeongang’s face as if darkness had lifted, she felt she could tell without reading the seal.

That her power to remove curses had awakened, and that the ‘Main Mission’ had been successfully completed.

Though her fingertips trembled slightly, her heart grew warm with pride.

“Now soon, big brother too… huh…?”

Moa, who had wanted to say it was time to save Dowoon next.

Collapsed right there, and fell asleep quietly among the tools as if catching her breath.
