The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 87

Jinseong Senior’s permission was granted, but the conditions were strict.

Absolutely no dangerous actions, and focus solely on supporting healers under the thorough protection of Senior and Seondonguk Oppa.

I gladly accepted that proposal.

What was important to me now wasn’t my own safety, but what I could do for the people dying outside.

“Wait a moment, I have things to prepare!”

As soon as permission was granted, I ran to the workshop.

I opened my subspace pouch and stuffed in essence oils and high-concentration regeneration ampoules I had made in my spare time.

Since I couldn’t know what would be needed in which situation, I practically emptied the entire display case into the pouch.

Then suddenly, my gaze lingered on Mimi sitting by the window.

“Mimi, help me.”

At my serious voice, Mimi perked up her ears and turned to look at me.

I asked Mimi directly.

“My remaining stats – where should I invest them for maximum effectiveness?”

I was planning to invest all my saved stat points into skills I needed right now.

I was glad I had saved these points for cases like this.

“Huh? Planning to take the easy way out?”

Mimi was about to scold me as usual, but seemed to read my desperate will and closed her mouth.

“You know the system values fairness.”

“…I know. That’s why I’m asking.”

I thought the system would reject my request, saying it must separate public and private matters even if it was my request, but surprisingly Mimi had a contemplative expression.

“…Tsk, just this once. Invest everything in ‘Scent.'”

“Scent?”

I opened my status window without hesitation and invested my remaining 2 stat points into Scent.

At that moment, a new System Message flashed before my eyes.

^[Scent skill Lv.2, Lv.3 are now open.]^

^[Scent Lv.2: Veil of Tranquility

Immediately calms the emotions of hunters about to go berserk due to extreme excitement, fear, or anger. Maintains optimal psychological state for making cool-headed judgments.

^[Scent Lv.3: Breath of Mana

Mana particles in the air combine with fragrance to dramatically increase mana recovery speed each time a hunter breathes.

Applied Effects: 200% increase in natural mana recovery during breathing, mana circuit expansion effect

Item Form: Mist or oxygen can-type inhaler]^

“Veil of Tranquility… Breath of Mana…!”

As I read through the skill descriptions, I understood why Mimi told me to invest stats in Scent as soon as I read the Breath of Mana skill description.

“This is it! Thank you!”

In a situation like now with countless injured people across a wide area, using ampoules on each person individually would be impossible.

But if I could make it so they could recover mana just by breathing, I could help numerous hunters at once.

I immediately began drawing up the blueprint for this skill in my head.

“Making it won’t be difficult…”

Combining the item crafting techniques I had accumulated with this new skill, even mass production wouldn’t be a problem.

The issue was how to deliver and use this item.

How could I supply this skill to hunters all at once?

It said to use it in mist or oxygen can form, but I didn’t have time to obtain containers right now.

“Delivery through breathing…”

While pondering, I saw Jinseong Senior’s back as he waited anxiously outside.

If Senior’s skill wasn’t just turning objects to dust, but the ability to change molecular states!

A flash of inspiration struck my mind.

“It might be possible…”

Preparations were complete.

With just my item and Senior, this Breath of Mana skill could be used without difficulty.

I rushed out of the workshop and shouted to Jinseong Senior and Seondonguk Oppa.

“I’m done! Let’s go to the place with the most injured and where the healers are at their limit!”

I scooped up Mimi and held her in my arms.

^[Title Acquired: Unpleasant Kidnapper]^

Mimi panted and struggled, but I ignored it and answered.

“You never know! There might be times when you need to protect me again!”

“Kyaak!”

As soon as I opened the store door, Jinseong Senior lightly lifted me up. Senior seemed to glance at the struggling Mimi but didn’t say anything particular.

Senior’s solid arms supported my body, and then Seondonguk Oppa deployed a massive shield to envelop us.

“Close your eyes, Yebichnna. We’re going to run fast.”

Senior’s coat hem covered my face, blocking the fierce wind.

My vision darkened, but the rough wind sound brushing past my ears and Senior’s regular heartbeat made me realize I was heading to the middle of a battlefield.

I hugged Mimi tightly in my arms.

The dark clouds that had filled the sky were clearing, and the morning sun was slowly rising in the distance.

The place we arrived at wasn’t Seong Hospital or any guild headquarters, but in front of the Hunter Association Headquarters.

It was the heart of Seoul and the place where the most hunters and civilians resided.

The damage was beyond imagination.

Painful groans continued endlessly from between the rubble of collapsed buildings, and healers had already exhausted their mana and sat on the ground with pale faces.

For a moment, past trauma seemed to rise from my toes and my body trembled.

But the warmth of Mimi wriggling in my arms and the presence of two S-rank hunters by my side pulled me back to reality.

I immediately rummaged through my subspace pouch and took out dozens of bottles of ‘Floral Mist,’ a byproduct item.

Originally, these were simple skin whitening products I planned to deliver to Shilla Guild as a courtesy gift.

I gathered those bottles and activated my newly acquired skill.

^[Skill Activated: Breath of Mana]^

Mana like heat haze burst from my fingertips and seeped into the mist bottles.

It was the moment ordinary cosmetic water transformed into a special-grade item that forcibly absorbed mana from the air and delivered it to the lungs.

“Seondonguk Oppa! Please throw these up into the air above where the healers and injured are gathered! Then Senior will break the mist bottles and turn the liquid into gas particles!”

My strategy was simple.

Turn the liquid mist into gas in mid-air so it would go directly into the hunters’ lungs.

It was a method that perfectly recreated the description of this skill that helped recover mana through breathing.

“Got it.”

“Here we go!”

Seondonguk Oppa swung his shield to launch the mist bottles high into the air, and Jinseong Senior timed it perfectly to control the intensity of his skill.

Clang—! Clang—!

With the sound of bottles breaking, mist particles that had turned into transparent gas settled down over the hunters’ heads like moist morning dew.

At that moment, a strange silence fell over the chaotic courtyard in front of the Association.

The healers who had been frantically pouring potions and desperately using skills with exhausted mana began stopping their actions one by one.

They stared blankly down at their hands, then opened their status windows as if they had made a promise.

“…What? Why is my mana recovery speed like this?”

“I didn’t do anything but my mana is filling up!”

Life returned to the eyes of the healers who had collapsed from exhaustion.

Without time to question it, they didn’t miss the opportunity and began using their heal skills again.

Others who had collapsed powerlessly from depleted mana also miraculously got back up and began managing the scene.

It was a miracle achieved with just ten bottles of Mist.

Jinseong Senior and Donguk Oppa watched this scene and gaped in disbelief.

“Area healing….”

“Over such a wide area….”

“With almost no mana consumption….”

“With just ten items….”

I left their murmuring behind and stepped forward to survey the revitalized scene.

“With my own power… I did it.”

I felt something hot welling up from within my chest.

The fact that I had helped them with my own power alone, that single fact filled me completely.

Was this why Mimi chose me? Was this why I exist in this world?

I hugged Mimi tightly, feeling overwhelming emotions.

“Mimi, did you see? I did it, I did it!”

Mimi writhed in my arms as if troubled, but didn’t complain like usual.

I knew Mimi’s silence was praise. That’s why laughter kept spilling out of me.

“Good work.”

“You’re really amazing, Yebichnna.”

I smiled brightly and answered the warm praise from the two who approached me.

“Thank you, Oppas!”

The two men suddenly coughed and averted their gazes, but I was too excited to have the energy to worry about that.

* * *

Meanwhile, there was one man watching this miraculous scene.

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the back of the woman in the distance between Jinseong and Donguk who was constantly creating something.

“Uh… that back, where have I seen it?”

The man tilted his head and searched his memory.

Hair tied up high, a slender build and tall height.

“Whoa, no way.”

He hurriedly rummaged through his phone gallery at the sudden thought.

About a month ago, the woman he encountered at the intersection in front of his company.

That mysterious woman who claimed to be a Hunter Association employee and predicted the gate occurrence.

The man’s eyes filled with shock as he compared the photo he had taken with the back figure before his eyes.

“It’s her, it’s right!”

The post he had uploaded to the Hunter Community at the time was suddenly deleted, which had been puzzling, but he never expected to encounter her again here.

The man held his breath and pressed the shutter once more.

And immediately launched the Hunter Community app.

His trembling fingers moved quickly across the keyboard.
