After five days of being rocked by the carriage, we were attacked several times by demons along the way, but Bazan and the others kicked them off with plenty of time to spare.

　The inn was negotiated in a village along the way, and as a result, they succeeded in getting a meal and a place to sleep just by casting a recovery spell.

　All the negotiations were done by Bazan and the others.

　For some reason, some of the villagers worshipped me, but I told them not to worry about it because I was provided with a luxurious meal and a clean bed in exchange for the treatment with my recovery magic.

　It was a journey to prepare for an encampment, but without any encampment we arrived at the Holy Capital of the Holy City of St. Schulur Cooperative Country, Schulur, where the Healer's Guild headquarters of St. Schulur Church is located.
　When I first heard about it, I thought they were using too much shrules. When I asked, I was warned by Bazan and the others that it was apparently taboo...and that it was best not to speak up.

'Thank you, Bazan-san, Sekyros-san and Pasra-san for escorting me.
　I bowed my head as I thanked the three of them.
''In the end, it's a nomination request from the Adventurer's Guild, and since it's a request to escort a person who saved my life, it's only natural to accept it. Hey.
　Mr. Basra looked at them and said something like that.
'That's right. Both Sekyros and I would have been in real danger if you hadn't seen through the poison. That's exactly what would have left Pasra alone.
　Mr. Bazan laughed and affirmed with that fierce look on his face.
'Oh yes. Thanks to you, Luciel, you've saved my life.'
　Mr. Sekyros laughed and affirmed as well.

'No, no. ─ No, no, no, no, no. But as we speak, I'm feeling a bit sad to be away from Melatni.
''Well, Luciel would be more than welcome to come back, but you'll have to work hard at the Healer's Guild headquarters for that spellbook.
Yeah. Thank you all so much for the escort.
Yeah. I hope I get to have a drink this time.
　In the end, I was transferred without having a drink with anyone.
''Yes. I'll do my best to buy you a drink then.
I look forward to it.
Don't be like Botacouli.
Yes.
　After saying goodbye, the carriage carrying the three of us returned to Meratni.


　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　It's a holy attribute granting spell Aura Coat.
　It can block the miasma in the air for an hour, slowing the progress of illnesses and making it harder for people to suffer from disorders.

　Holy Attribute Special Magic Purification.
　This is an all-purpose spell that exorcises curses, dirt, and is actually a dirt removal spell with an MP consumption of 16

　Advanced Recovery Magic High Heel.　
　Boasts ten times the recovery amount of a heel, but with a no small MP consumption of 15.

　The middle level recovery spell, Area Middle Heel.
　An enhanced version of Area Heal's recovery spell, it has three times the amount of recovery as Area Heal, but consumes 30 MP at a time.

　An advanced overall recovery spell, Area High Heal.
　It is an enhanced version of Area Middle High Heel with a three-meter radius, but the amount of magic used at one time is said to be 75.

　Anomaly Recovery Magic Recovery
　Magic to heal from poison, paralysis, enchantment, sleep, enchantment, and magical weakness, but not from petrification, curses, hallucinations, or illnesses; MP consumption is 18

　A special holy attribute recovery spell, Dispel.
　I'm not going to be able to get out of this one.

　I'm sorry. I'm not sure how many times I've heard that the explanation is vague, but the area high heel and dispel were not activated due to the low skill level of the holy attribute magic. However, the chanting was properly learned.
　Furthermore, area middle heel and recovery were also things that couldn't be used lightly because they would sneak away with magic power.


''Well, shall we go now?''
　I stepped into a building that can be called a large, towering palace.

　The inside of the building was a spacious hall with an expansive marble-like floor and information, which strongly reminded me of my previous life.
'Welcome. This is the headquarters of the Healers Guild. We are at your service.
'My name is Luciel. I am a healer from the Meratoni Chapter of the St. Schuler's Healer's Guild, and I have been transferred to the headquarters due to my resignation.
Be with you in a moment.
　The receptionist meditated with something that looked like a crystal.

　Could it be a magic tool? As I was thinking about this, I turned to the crystal and began to speak.
'Some kind of telepathic aid?
　The other receptionist seemed to hear it when I muttered, and the other receptionist gave her the affirmation.
''That's right. You are very knowledgeable, Luciel-sama.
He stuttered and made conversation.
'No. I don't know how it works, and I've only seen similar magic tools within the Adventurer's Guild.
Oh, I see. Oh, Master Granhardt is here.

　When he said that, he turned around and saw not a graceful man, but a man of about Alahora, dressed in the white robes of a huge adventurer-like man.

''You're Luciel-dono? My name is Granhardt. I'm a priest here and I'm the one who called you here. Follow me as we move.
　I walked past the receptionist and held my hand against the wall and the wall cracked open.
'Come on, let's go inside.'
　Apparently, elevators exist in this world too, and when I get on one, I feel a sensation I haven't felt in a long time.

How does it work? I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world," he said, acting excited and asking a question so that Ms. Granhardt wouldn't think it was strange.
It's a magic elevator. This is a magical elevator, it recognizes and operates based on its magical powers.
　Is this an escape hatch? Well, well, I don't think they're going to kill me... I might have to think of a way to escape.
Come on.
As I was walking along following the directions, I was approached.

'Oh?' You were inducted into the Healers' Guild in Meratni, weren't you, uh, Louise?
　The owner of the voice was Lumina.
''Ah, it's been a while. Lumina-sama. And my name is Luciel. I'm not sure how you know it's me, even though my physique has changed quite a bit.
'I remembered it because the magic vibes were so clear.
　Can you see magic? And that's not what I'm talking about.

'Thank you for your help at Melatonis. Somehow I've managed to get my fledgling treatment done in the last two years.
'Oh, I see. Oh, you should come to my room later, since we don't have time for this now.
He said.
'Master Granhardt, please allow someone to take him to his private quarters later.
"...yes.
I felt that Granhardt-san's expression, or rather his mood, had hardened.
　When she heard those words, Lumina-san left.

　After that, Granharto-san became silent throughout and followed him into the room he led me to.

It was a dimly lit room that didn't look like the same headquarters, and it was completely reminiscent of a torture room, with whips and saws and such.

　There was no point in being terrified of the prank, so I gathered all the courage I could muster and spun my words.

'This room looks like a torture chamber, sir? What does this mean?
　He decided to manifest his displeasure.

　The question was expected of Mr. Granhardt, and his attitude was aloof.

'Never mind that this is just a storage room. We'll take a shortcut through here.

　After being told that, I was ushered into the next room, which was like an interrogation room in a drama.

　I didn't feel like I was in danger, so I decided to just go in.

When I was told to sit down, Granhardt took out a letter.

'I was surprised when this letter was sent to me by the Guild of Healers of the Meratni Branch. You have been healing to the detriment of the other healers and the Meratni Chapter's revenue has dropped. That is what the letter said. So we need to check the facts.

　Oh, that's what I mean. This is something you can break through if you talk logically about what the salespeople don't want you to say when you pack up.
Think back to when you were in sales until two years ago.
Think back to a time when you were on the verge of a promotion.
I opened my eyes and began to speak.


"...the letter is true in a way.

Oh. You're admitting guilt?
　Granhardt looked surprised, as if the admission was unusual.

'What is a sin? I became a healer about two years ago, and I have been healing within the Adventurer's Guild in exchange for being taught the body arts. Is this a crime?

Don't be.

'Furthermore, although we were only allowed to use heels at the time, they still provided us with three meals, a place to sleep, clothes, and a stipend. Was this a sin?

No.

'That's what I did during my first year of registration. And this is my second year, and I became a temporary employee of the Adventurer's Guild in the form of a secondment. Perhaps because of my hard work in the first year, my skill level in holy attribute magic has increased and I have learned some magic. Is this illegal?

...no, I'm a full-blown healer.
　You're starting to get a little confused.

''The second year has been even better than the first, and I'm grateful to the Adventurer's Guild and the adventurers for the pay, equipment, etc.

I understand that you have no behavioral problems. But the problem seems to be that the cost of healing is too low, what about that?

"...What do you think of the current situation, Mr. Granhardt? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with getting paid for recovery magic, and since that's my job, I think it's more justified to get paid for my treatment.

Hmm. That's what the Healers' Guild is all about.

'I don't mean to pry into who the person who sent me that letter is. ........but I've heard of one healing center in Melatoni that treats injuries that can be cured with heels or middle heels with high heels, and then goes ahead and charges exorbitant prices for healing centers and treatments that charge exorbitant prices before dropping them into debt slavery by charging high prices.... I also heard that there are such despicable healing centers.
Isn't this practice more of a problem? It would save you a lot of hassle if you presented your fees in advance, and you could ask when you'd like to add more. How does the Healer's Guild manage a healing clinic that doesn't do such an obvious thing?


"Nuh-uh, you're lashing out at the headquarters of the Guild of Healers of St. Cyril's Church.

'Please don't change the subject. And I'm not ranting, I'm asking Lord Cranhardt if it's negligence not to instruct me, an ignorant man, on how a healer should be.

"The way of the Healers' Guild?

'Yes, sir. I understand that when the Healer's Guild was founded, the fees were not set by noble and exalted people. As time went on, they began to get paid as healers. So far, no problem.
Crossing his arms, Mr. Granhardt meditates.
'Go on.'

'Back to the point, what is the price of magic? A copper? A silver coin? A piece of gold? Platinum? I think high and low will vary from person to person. As long as the guild doesn't specify a rough pricing structure, the rest will be the sales effort of the healer, no difference?
It doesn't matter if it's higher or lower, because there is currently no price.
"...Then set a price range for the healers by type of magic. Is that what you're saying?

'It's a little different too. Because the amount of recovery is different for a healer who has just learned to heal and an experienced healer. It's only natural that the experienced healers are higher.
'I don't know what you mean. Keep it short and sweet.

'The problems that you describe in your letter here were caused by ambiguity in pricing.
Hmm.

You should first assess the extent of the injury and then offer an appropriate fee. If you offer a price in advance, there will be no problem. If it's a life-threatening, urgent and serious injury, then that's not an option.
"Hmm.

"The Healers belong to the Healers' Guild of St. Cyril's Church. As an offering, they are allowed to learn holy attribute magic and use it. Does the Healers' Guild sell the books for money? It's not, is it?
''Of course. We use it to train future generations and to maintain the Healer's Guild.

You're right. So, by setting up pricing guidelines and providing a price quote in advance, people will respect the healer's profession and think of it as a whole job.
　'There is no insurance in this world,' he said.

'Hmm. But that's only your idea after all, isn't it?
　Oh, he's a hard-headed person.

For example, Mr. Granhardt is going to have dinner. The price has not been given to you, and you are expecting to pay for your meal with the approximate taste and quantity of foodstuffs and ten coppers, but you have been charged ten gold coins. What do you want to do, Mr. Granhardt?

"Of course he's going to complain.

Then he said, "It's expensive because it's made with a lot of terrific high-grade ingredients. If you can't pay for what you eat, you're a slave." If that's what they say and you only have nine gold coins, Mr. Granhardt will be dropped into slavery. What do you think of this?

It's uncomfortable, how could I be "yes"?

Why me, sir. Because I didn't know the price in advance. Regardless of the restaurant, if the price was quoted in advance, there would have been no problem.

...

'There were only a few places in Melatoni where the healers would offer a fee in advance. If we knew how much it would cost in advance, I'm sure more people would visit the healing center.

...

''But if things remain as they are now, it would be possible for the villainous healers to collude with the slavers to mass produce slaves. Now, is my healing magic expensive? Is it cheap? I don't know. But I am able to make a monthly offering.

...

Who decides on the fees?

Nuh... okay. We'll discuss it with the other priests and the high priest.
Mr. Granhardt was already exhausted.

'Then what can I do for you, sir?

I'll send someone to take you to Lord Lumina's private chambers first.

　Afterwards, I returned to the corridor with Granhardt-san, who had lost his strength, and Granhardt-san's attendant, who was worried about Granhardt-san, who was suffering from exhaustion, led me to Lumina-san's private room.
