Chapter 95

“Then, I’ll perform the surgery, Snake Grandmother.”

She felt a reassuring sensation as if Samyeongrok was pushing her back supportively.

Moa spoke cheerfully while clenching her fists tightly.

Then Sasamyeong slowly nodded her head.

Since she wouldn’t have been able to live as a proper Guardian Spirit if Moa hadn’t saved her anyway, she planned to let the child do as she wished.

[…Alright.]

Sasamyeong’s elongated pupils took on a gentle expression as she gazed intently at Moa.

[I’ll trust you, little baby.]

Having received Sasamyeong’s permission, Moa shouted “Great!” with vigor.

Jaseonghwa, who had been watching from behind, stepped forward and asked Moa with a worried voice.

“Moa, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard today?”

Jaseonghwa asked while stroking Moa’s head with a pitying expression.

In the process of purifying Sasamyeong and treating Baeksa, Moa had used too much power in one day.

“I’m fine, Mother.”

Moa shook her head.

“I have to do this.”

“Sigh….”

Jaseonghwa realized she absolutely couldn’t dissuade her daughter after seeing her determined eyes.

She turned to look at her husband, hoping he would somehow help, but he also shook his head, indicating it was unavoidable.

No one could stop Moa when she had eyes like this.

“When Snake Grandmother becomes warm, all the other people will become warm too~”

Moa showed the scale in her hand.

“Somi told me. If this works, cold blood disease will disappear from the world.”

She was at an age where it would be enough to just take care of herself and act spoiled to receive affection.

Jaseonghwa found Moa’s heart so beautiful that she hugged the child tightly and then nodded.

“…If it gets too hard, you can rest and continue later. Understand?”

She stroked Moa’s head.

She couldn’t break her daughter’s resolve.

And honestly, she also felt confident.

Perhaps this child might succeed this time too.

“Yes~!”

Moa smiled brightly and turned toward Sasamyeong.

***

After speaking excitedly, she realized there were too many people around.

Moa decided to leave the maids’ discretion to Rin and her family, and headed to the Ancestral Shrine with Sasamyeong.

Upon entering inside, it felt like being embraced within the coiled Sasamyeong’s arms.

[I’ll stay here. Try doing whatever you want.]

Sasamyeong sat in the center of the Ancestral Shrine.

Meanwhile, Moa gripped Baeksa’s scale with her fingers and held it up in the air.

‘What should I do and how should I use this?’

Even when she closed one eye tightly and stared at the transparently glowing scale, no auxiliary device for the heart popped out.

[Just staring at it won’t work.]

Somi spoke from inside the bracelet.

‘Hmm… Then what should I do?’

[First you need to open the operating room. What would change by looking at that thing?]

At Somi’s blunt words, Moa pouted her lips and then nodded.

Reading Moa’s intention, the watch scanner activated, and golden laser swept over Sasamyeong’s body.

-Patient scan complete

-Diagnosis: Cold blood disease

-Heart surgery kit is recommended.

Through the hologram screen floating in the air, Sasamyeong’s curious expression was faintly visible.

[This is… your power? How can a human have such divine power….]

Sasamyeong stiffened her body in surprise at the divine power that felt so familiar yet nostalgic.

‘Why do all the Guardian Spirits get surprised when they see my power?’

Moa vaguely wondered while carefully watching the surgical process shown by the hologram.

Blood depicted in blue to represent coldness circulated throughout the body.

A scale imbued with divine power was attached above the hologram heart.

Then the scale containing heat warmly heated the heart and blood….

“Ah! After going around the heart, the blood becomes warm!”

After understanding the process by looking at the hologram, Moa turned off the hologram with a proud expression.

This surgery looked much easier than when she had operated on Grandfather last time.

When Moa soon touched the red cross button on her watch with a determined expression-

-Deploying ‘Heart Surgery Kit’.

Just like when she had fixed Jin Wonbaek last time, medical tools floated up around Moa in a row.

After putting on the surgical protective suit and applying the protection system-

Moa took out anesthetic jelly from the medicine bottle.

“Eat this! When you open your eyes, everything will be finished.”

[Hooo….]

As if finding it fascinating, Sasamyeong watched the toy tools floating around Moa, then stuck out her tongue and took the anesthetic jelly to swallow it.

Moa, who had flinched when the forked tongue briefly touched her palm, soon nodded as Sasamyeong became drowsy.

[This is a bit… drowsy.]

“Huh, huh? Aren’t you sleepy?”

[I’m feeling drowsy and languid… like basking in sunlight….]

Sasamyeong truly showed a reaction befitting a Guardian Spirit, different from anyone she had fed before.

Since she didn’t fall asleep but just seemed slightly drowsy, Moa frowned and pondered, then shook out more anesthetic jelly onto her palm.

“Eat more!”

[Mmm….]

Slurp.

Sasamyeong swallowed all the anesthetic jelly.

Then, as if falling into a deep slumber, her body collapsed completely.

“Oh my!”

Moa, who almost got crushed by the giant snake’s head, was startled and quickly stepped back.

[Th, Moa. You can’t feed this much to other spirits or people…?]

Somi, terrified that Moa might plunge people into the abyss of drug abuse, whispered in panic.

“But she only fell asleep after eating this much?”

[…Spirits and people are much smaller than Guardian Spirits.]

“Aha! Babies eat as much as babies, adults eat as much as adults, right?”

Moa nodded, remembering that even cold medicine had different doses depending on age.

[Right, right….]

Somi sighed in relief at having prevented the risk of Moa causing trouble.

Meanwhile, Moa skillfully picked up the toy scalpel.

Bzzzz-! Bzz, bzz!

The golden laser scalpel hummed fiercely as if waiting for Moa’s decision.

‘Hehe, I’ve become a specialist.’

Moa, along with a thought that Somi would have corrected the spelling of if she had heard, confidently performed her second thoracotomy.

Although the heart positions of humans and snakes were different, it was much easier thanks to the sparkling dotted lines that made it easy for Moa to see.

Inside the opened chest, Sasamyeong’s heart was visible. As if just for show, it wasn’t beating at all and was there like a model.

Of course, this appearance was shown as a cute heart shape suited to Moa’s age.

‘I just need to attach it here.’

Moa closed her eyes slightly while gripping Baeksa’s scale in her hand.

‘I must, I must properly warm the blood!’

After finishing her prayer to whoever might hear it, Moa applied medical adhesive to the scale.

And then, gently.

She carefully attached the scale to the heart, just gently enough not to burst it, then poured her divine power into it fully.

‘I hope it’s no longer cold. I hope it becomes warm.’

Sweat beaded on Moa’s forehead.

As her divine power rapidly drained away, her whole body grew heavy.

“Ugh…”

Her hands trembled from exhaustion and her vision blurred.

[Moa, are you okay?]

Somi asked worriedly.

[You shouldn’t push yourself too hard. You could rest and then-]

“No.”

Moa shook her head.

“I can do it.”

The child gritted her teeth.

Thinking that compared to Sasamyeong who had endured the cold for thousands of years, this level of hardship was nothing-

Golden divine power poured even more intensely over the scale-covered heart.

Sasamyeong’s heart, which had been a dull, cold color like plastic, received Moa’s divine power and with the help of the activated scale-

Transformed into a truly living heart.

Thump.

The completed device pulsed with light like a heartbeat.

“…It’s done.”

The frozen-cold blood gained warmth as it passed through the heart.

Moa lightly touched her finger to the heart.

It was really giving off heat!

Moa, who had no medical knowledge whatsoever, figured something had gone well and nodded as she finished the surgery.

And the moment the scales on the chest completely closed.

“Huh…?”

Something rose up from between Sasamyeong’s scales.

It was flames.

Small sparks bloomed from between the scales, gradually spreading.

“Wh… what, fire, fire…?”

Startled by this sight she’d never seen before, Moa jumped up in shock, not even noticing that surgery mode had ended.

Tremendous heat blazing in blue flames over the gem-like shining scales.

The fire seemed to have become one with Sasamyeong.

‘Did, did I make some mistake?’

[What in the world is this situation…?!]

The startled Somi was also making a huge commotion with meowing from inside the bracelet.

“Fi, fire! There’s a fire!”

Just as Moa cried out loudly with a tearful expression.

[No, little child.]

Sasamyeong’s voice rang out as she awakened from the anesthesia.

That voice was no longer sad or cold.

It was warm, powerful, and vibrant.

[It’s not burning.]

Sasamyeong smiled from within the flames.

It was an expression never seen before.

An incredibly happy face.

[I’m being reborn right now!]
