Episode 44

 

* * *

 

The next morning, I moved busily as soon as I opened my eyes.

 

“Bandages packed, thread packed, herbs good for childbirth and….”

 

I started packing various things in my bag in preparation for any possible situation.

 

I didn’t know the exact situation, but if it was pregnancy, it involved a pregnant woman and a baby.

 

Since it was a matter involving two lives, I was even more concerned.

 

“Mia! Let’s have breakfast.”

 

Eruten, who had arrived at some point, was waiting for me with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall.

 

“Good morning, Eruten.”

 

I cheerfully greeted him and headed to the dining hall together with him.

 

‘Since I’m leaving on a long journey, I should eat heartily.’

 

I crunched through vegetables I usually didn’t eat much, and even ate more meat heartily until I felt like my stomach would burst.

 

After eating even dessert like that, we all gathered and sat in the drawing room to start discussing future matters.

 

“Rtemeia? Are you listening to me?”

 

“Yes! Of, of course!”

 

I quickly turned my gaze to look at Mr. Pairon. He swallowed a sigh and continued speaking.

 

“If anyone asks about you, you don’t need to answer everything. And also….”

 

Mr. Pairon seemed very worried, probably thinking that I was in this situation again because of him.

 

“You’ve said that same thing more than ten times now. Stop it already.”

 

Mr. Hanel stopped Mr. Pairon with a fed-up expression.

 

However, Mr. Pairon didn’t even glance at him and continued speaking.

 

“If they ask who taught you medicine, mention my name. Don’t let them call you a witch or demon or….”

 

“That’s the eleventh time you’ve said that.”

 

He silently glared at Mr. Hanel for a moment, then took out a small medicine bottle from his chest.

 

“This is a sedative. I mixed Bacneum and Nerion, but the color turned strange. So I added grape juice to make it sweet….”

 

Bacneum and Nerion were types of sedatives. Above all, Bacneum was an anti-anxiety medication.

 

“Why are you giving this to me?”

 

Mr. Pairon hesitated for a moment. More precisely, he seemed to be choosing his words.

 

After moving his lips for a moment, he spoke.

 

“Last time in the carriage….”

 

“Ah.”

 

An exclamation immediately flowed from my lips.

 

‘I did have a panic attack then.’

 

“You seemed very anxious. In case those symptoms appear again while I’m not around….”

 

A child’s body was convenient in many ways.

 

If an adult had done that, they would have been treated exactly like a witch.

 

Since I was a child, they seemed to think it was because I was scared and frightened by that situation.

 

“The medicinal materials at the manor weren’t abundant, so I couldn’t make much, but the effect should be fine.”

 

Considering that anti-anxiety medication is used for panic attacks, it was quite an excellent prescription.

 

Of course, if I weren’t a young child.

 

“Thank you.”

 

When I spoke with a gentle smile, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.

 

Then he soon patted my head and smiled.

 

“Make sure to come back. I’ll be waiting.”

 

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

 

“Hey, kid. I have a gift too.”

 

At that moment, Mr. Hanel also suddenly handed me something.

 

Inside the leather pouch he casually tossed as if he had just picked it up somewhere were medical instruments.

 

And they were modern medical instruments identical to the ones I had drawn.

 

“Oh my!”

 

“Well, it’s nothing special, so don’t be too moved….”

 

“Mr. Hanel, thank you so much.”

 

“Uh…? Huh?”

 

When I expressed my gratitude without hesitation, he began to panic noticeably, as if this was unexpected.

 

Regardless, I looked at my scalpels with a proud expression.

 

“Do, do you like it that much?”

 

“Yes. I’m absolutely crazy about it.”

 

I wasn’t sure if this body would get used to them, but what he handed me were professional medical instruments I had drawn—modern #7 scalpel, #10 scalpel, forceps, and so on.

 

Medical scissors for gripping needles.

 

‘Now I can do some self-treatment even if I get injured!’

 

I wouldn’t have to bend needles like doing a strength show, and above all, being able to perform simple surgical procedures….

 

‘Modern medicine is the best…!’

 

I was on the verge of tears.

 

Mr. Hanel made an unreadable expression for a while, then let out a deep sigh.

 

“Next time you draw more, I’ll take on the manufacturing again, so don’t worry and have a safe trip.”

 

“Yes! I will!”

 

What should I ask him to make next?

 

Should I ask him to develop tools that can refine medicines?

 

I was trying hard to compose my expression so my twitching nostrils wouldn’t be noticed when it happened.

 

“Is there something good happening?”

 

“Eruten!”

 

Eruten, who had approached at some point, poked his head out and asked.

 

I smiled brightly at him and said.

 

“I received an amazing gift!”

 

“A gift?”

 

“Yes! Look at this!”

 

I crouched down right there and spread out my leather pouch with a swoosh.

 

As soon as I opened the pouch, my eyes sparkled at the silver gleaming instruments….

 

‘Wait.’

 

What is this made of?

 

In appearance, they had the same form and texture as the instruments from my previous life.

 

Was there medical stainless steel in this world?

 

“Mr. Hanel. What is this made of?”

 

“What?”

 

“Well, if there are materials mixed in that can’t be used on people….”

 

At my words, he laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

 

“You worry about everything. Would you even know if I told you?”

 

“How would I know if you don’t tell me?”

 

At my words, he exclaimed “Ah!” and grabbed one of my instruments.

 

“It’s mithril.”

 

“Mithril?”

 

“Did you say mithril?”

 

Mithril was a divine metal filled with holy power.

 

Because of that, it was so expensive that it was usually only used as weapon material for high-ranking nobles.

 

‘Why is that in my hands….’

 

Every day was a series of surprises. I was wondering if it was okay to receive something so precious when it happened.

 

“Don’t think of it as a burden. Did you forget? Because we’re a guild, we can obtain things like this more easily than you think. Right, Pairon?”

 

He shrugged his shoulders.

 

However, Mr. Pairon himself had a puzzled expression.

 

Soon, Mr. Pairon, whose eyes met mine, smiled awkwardly.

 

“That’s right. Rtemeia. Hanel is correct. Don’t worry and take them. You liked them so much, didn’t you.”

 

“That’s true, but…”

 

It was true that I was captivated by the brilliant appearance of the medical instruments.

 

‘Is it safe to use something made of mithril on the human body?’

 

I gripped the leather pouch tightly.

 

As expected, I didn’t feel like returning it.

 

‘Wait, if it really doesn’t work out, I could try it on my own body first, right?’

 

Having thought of a brilliant solution, I smiled slightly.

 

“I understand. Then I’ll use them well.”

 

Just as I was busily gathering the tools, someone burst open the door.

 

It was Demian.

 

“Rtemeia!”

 

He spotted me and smiled brightly. Just as I was about to wave my hand back in front of the child’s bright smile.

 

“Mia. I think there’s something on you here?”

 

At Eruten’s words, I stopped trying to greet and looked down to examine my skirt.

 

“What? What’s on me?”

 

“I guess not.”

 

“What?”

 

Eruten, who had made the silly joke, immediately chuckled as if it were cute.

 

‘This must be kids’ pranks too.’

 

Since I had to act like a child, I laughed along with the smiling Eruten.

 

“Hahaha.”

 

“Hahaha.”

 

“What are you two doing right now.”

 

Of course, only Mr. Hanel, who was watching that scene, had a puzzled expression on his face.

 

“Rtemeia!”

 

While I was laughing heartily, Demian, who had somehow reached in front of me, called out my name.

 

As promised, I politely greeted him.

 

“Hello. Young Baron.”

 

“Rtemeia! We agreed to speak casually…!”

 

Demian was about to say something to me but then swallowed his breath, saying never mind.

 

“It’s nice to see you again.”

 

Eruten also followed my lead and greeted Demian. Demian glared at Eruten once, then grabbed my hand and pulled me along.

 

“Then shall we go get in the carriage?”

 

Small, warm hands wrapped around mine without hesitation.

 

Seeing that made me chuckle.

 

As expected, children are cute.

 

* * *

 

Ditten, who had been watching the carriage carrying Demian depart from afar, sighed in frustration and turned around.

 

When she turned around, she saw Clint absorbed in his backlogged work. She slowly and gently embraced his shoulders and asked.

 

“Did we really do the right thing?”

 

“You mean sending Demian away?”

 

Ditten didn’t answer. Clint, interpreting her silence as affirmation, put down the quill pen he was holding.

 

“People from the temple will arrive soon. They will try to test whether Demian’s illness has been cured. While lightly ignoring the words of us, his parents.”

 

They couldn’t let Demian fall into that hellish pit again.

 

Ditten immediately wrote a letter to her sister Brien, and Brien wrote back saying she wanted to meet Rtemeia, including Demian.
