To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor Chapter 22

Episode 22 Elf Village (5)

Ray, who arrived home on time, gasped for breath.

It seems that I traveled from the elven village to my house in less than two hours.

If an ordinary person had walked, it would have been a distance where they would have stayed overnight.

Even thinking about it, it’s an unbelievable speed.

Taking a deep breath and calming his breath, he opened the door and entered the house, where Sein was waiting.

She smiled with a scent that stimulated her appetite.

“Come on. Ugh what is that sweat?”

“I’m having a hard time jumping.”

“You run so much that you sweat like that. These days, he doesn’t break a sweat even when he fights against his father.”

I will run until I die.

Ray said to Sain, who looked at him incredulously.

“Mom, I am hungry. Today is especially more…”

He was just hungry. I ran to death, so I was hungry to death.

Seeing Ray urging him while staring at him, Sein muttered as he held his cheek with both hands.

“It’s cute…”

“…”

Ray, anticipating the situation that was about to happen, stepped back.

But Sein’s hand was faster.

She hugged Ray tightly.

“Ahhh.”

“He is also my son. The feeling of holding is also wonderful. Except for the smell of sweat!”

* * *

Early the next morning, Ray skipped swordsmanship practice and headed to the elven village.

Ale also understood when he said it was urgent.

Ray, who had gone deep into the forest, muttered as he looked around.

“No one ever goes here.”

It was the forest where the elves’ village was located.

I just went in and didn’t know what was going to happen.

Ray doesn’t think it’s a big deal, saying ‘I have to kill him?’, but he can really die.

A few hours to run (?) thinking useless thoughts.

A village appeared naturally.

Like an elf who likes quiet, the village is quite quiet.

Walking along the path made of overgrown grass, I caught a glimpse of them enjoying their daily lives reading books or having conversations at home.

Looking a little further to the side, I saw a beautiful elf with long dark brown hair hanging down her shoulders.

“I’m here?”

She was standing in front of the door, apparently waiting for him.

Since her house is not far from the entrance of the village, I could see her from entering the village.

A graceful aura seemed to flow around her body.

Even an attractive smile hanging from the corner of her mouth would have fallen in love at first sight if an ordinary person saw it.

Ray also smiled.

“huh. Were you waiting?”

“…It just came out because I just woke up.”

“Isn’t it too tidy for having just woken up?”

As I spoke, I looked slightly suspicious, and she looked away and said.

“I’m not lying…”

She puffed out her cheeks as if she were offended by her words.

surely.

Elves don’t lie.

What she said couldn’t have been a lie.

Ray nodded and said.

“So you didn’t wait?”

“…”

But no answer came.

After not saying anything, Ray asked curiously.

“Were you waiting? Didn’t you wait?”

“…”

Her mouth was tightly shut, and it seemed that she would not answer even if she died soon.

You can’t force her to answer like that.

He’s not that nasty either.

Everyone has at least one thing they don’t want to talk about.

Thinking so, she tried to move on, but eventually her mouth opened.

“I waited.”

There was some hesitation, but he said his thoughts openly.

“really?”

She glared at him as he asked again, then averted her gaze as before.

“I was waiting because I had to meet the elder. We can’t keep you waiting.”

“That’s right.”

“If you know, let’s hurry.”

Pia spoke and immediately took the lead.

Ray, who followed him, sighed when he saw the elder’s house shortly after.

I had to struggle and struggle to go up to the four-story level.

It wasn’t usually that hard.

It’s hard enough to die when going up, but what about going down?

I couldn’t harm the tree, so I couldn’t even create a gap to set foot on.

It was too high to slide down.

I still didn’t know convenient things like flying magic, so I had to solve everything with my body.

Given the situation, of course, when I looked at a high place, I sighed.

The trees that existed in the elven village were basically three times the size of the other trees.

Other trees wouldn’t be very tall from the middle to the branches, but the elder’s house, which is located in the middle of these trees, is quite high at first glance.

Perhaps different types of trees were used depending on authority and position, but the tree in the elder’s house differed in size from other trees.

Even Elder Hana’s house was incomparable to the house in the center of the village, which was built by intertwining many huge trees.

Looking at the house at the top of the tree, Ray whimpered as he climbed up.

I climbed little by little while looking for gaps in the trees and making good use of them.

Since he did not know how to activate his body with mana, he had to use his physical strength as well, even with the help of mana.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

I let out a rough breath and climbed for a few minutes.

When he finally climbed up and caught his breath, Pia and the elder were waiting for him.

“Are you here? Come in.”

“Why are you so slow?”

At their words, Ray felt his heart break.

I don’t know what would have happened to them if they had had a blunt weapon in their hand.

Ray took a deep breath and calmed himself.

“Whoa… please make some stairs.”

Spitting out words, Ray followed them inside.

It was clear that the two did not care what he said.

When I went inside, the elder who gave me a seat spoke first.

“So what do you mean?”

“…It’s about Aira-sama.”

“Is it Aira-sama?”

The elder, who was looking at Pia with his eyes narrowed, asked her.

“What are you talking about, why did you come with a human child?”

It meant, ‘Why did you bring that human child when you were talking about Aira-sama?’

At the elder’s direct words, Pia swallowed and said.

“Because this kid has something to do with the story he’s about to tell.”

“…try it.”

“You said that Aira-sama was not in a good condition, so you could always go to Mana’s side…” “

…I did.”

Looking at Ray while talking is ‘I overheard you.’ It seems to say

Ray was confident despite the glaring eyes of the elder.

what do you mean by hearing

You should blame your high level of hearing, not yourself.

“If there is no way to stop Aira-sama’s symptoms, we want to treat her.”

“therapy?”

Looking at the elder who was interested, Pia thought it was an opportunity and continued.

“Ray’s mana is special. It was the perfect cure when I went through it yesterday and watched it from the sidelines. Of all the magic I’ve seen so far… If it wasn’t for the possibility of fixing Aira-sama, I wouldn’t have brought her here.”

“Hmm…”

The elder looked into her eyes even as he touched his chin.

A sincere heart was conveyed to the elder.

It was one serious matter.

No matter how much you leave it as it is, it will return to mana, but you can’t gamble with her as the spiritual support of the elves.

The elder shook his head.

“It would be nice to try, but… It’s disrespectful to Aira-sama. No matter how much you try to save him, you dare to try with Aira-sama.”

“Ah…”

A voice filled with regret came out of Pia’s mouth.

“But… I can save you. If Aira-sama comes back to life…”

“Stop.”

Her words were cut off by the elder.

“Aira-nim is a being who is respected by all of us. I dare not try Him in an uncertain way.”

Ray thought as he listened to the elder’s words.

‘I’m really stuck with my thoughts. What’s the point of awe when you die?’

And I wondered who the elf named Aira was to think so earnestly.

It seems that the elf who is called the elder is the one who lives in the biggest house.

Ray, who wondered what position could be higher than an elder, felt that the conversation had collapsed when Pia lowered her head.

In fact, the elder issued a congratulatory order, not words, and Pia and Ray had no choice but to leave the house.

When she came out, she smiled awkwardly.

“Failed.”

“I know.”

“It’s a pity…”

Ray said to her who continued to stare at the high house, as if he was really sorry.

“are you okay. Because the condition may improve. Can I still come here to play?”

“of course. We were the ones who said it was okay to stay in this town.”

“thank you. Then I’ll go see you.”

“Are you going already?”

“huh. Actually, I have work to do.”

“Okay…”

A look of regret was evident.

There was even loneliness in his eyes.

As the protector of the elves, she doesn’t spend much time in the village.

Every time I had time, I only came and stopped by once.

That’s why he was respected by the elves, but he couldn’t gain friendship.

There were only a few elves that I was really friendly with.

Ray smiled at him and said.

“I will come again tomorrow. Don’t die like that.”

“…someone said the grass was down.”

“Then can you come back in a week?”

“…Come tomorrow.”

Ray hurriedly waved his hand at those eyes that were glancing at him.

“I’ll go. See you tomorrow.”

“joy.”

They don’t even accept greetings.

Ray turned around and left the village entrance.

She also watched it, saw that Ray was completely gone, and went into the house.

* * *

“A doctor never abandons a patient.”

Ray pretended to go back and returned to the village.

He was climbing the tree, aiming for an angle and time to be unnoticed.

It should take some time to go up because the height is high, but the time is quiet right now.

Because at lunchtime, elves eat and enjoy their leisure.

And from what he had seen, there were very few elves who enjoyed taking walks.

Although he had only been in town for less than two days, his disposition was clear enough to know.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

I had to make a quiet gasping sound.

Grab the tree as if hugging it, raise your legs, and repeat the action of extending your hands again and go up several times.

Rey, who had barely reached the top, looked around.

Beautifully embroidered trees and flowers blooming in between.

It was the first time I knew that a flower garden could grow on a tree.

what is the house like?

It seems that the skills of the elven artisans, who say that the basics are large and magnificent, and that they are more detailed than the dwarves, have been demonstrated.

Ray swallowed.

“It’s better than Viscount Gade’s mansion… I thought it was a tree house at best…”

How much I admired the garden in the Viscount’s mansion.

However, that beautiful garden was worse than the one side of the flower garden I was looking at.

The tree house was so beautiful.

When I opened the door, it opened without a slight creaking sound.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted with an intoxicating scent.

I never thought this scent would exist in the world.

If it was made into a perfume in modern times, it would have been well received.

A little further inside, the stairs came out.

As this house was large, it seemed to be divided into a first floor and a second floor.

The higher you go up the second floor, the stronger the scent.

The strongest scent in front of the door of a room gave off a sweet fruity scent as if trying to charm him.

If there is a heavenly fruit, would it smell like this?

However, there was no fruit, just an elf lying quietly on the bed.

Pure white hair similar to his own, and skin with no visible blemishes.

I admired the appearance of many other elves, but I dared not compare them with the elves I see now.

For a moment, Ray froze at that appearance, like a crystallized collection of beauty.
