17 Episode 15: What a military doctor should be




 Hypnosis with Alraune can alter the ego if applied too long. We had decided that it was dangerous once the concentration of pollen was increased, so we were given that much to do for today's interrogation.

 The interrogation of the chieftain's man also changed the day. Preciousha has been in a state of mindlessness and follows my advice.

 But I'm only a newcomer, and I don't like the situation where our positions are reversed just because the questioning was successful. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your life.

 I could completely erase the fresh wounds from the whip that the prisoners received, but I also knew that would leave those in charge of the torture in no position to stand, so I left some of them in place. They were guilty of something they shouldn't have to do as doctors, but they were guilty enough to take the pain as punishment.

'Try chewing this weed, Mr. Presha. It helps a lot with caution.
Thank you .......

 It was hard for her to accept the word of the Northern Knights' betrayal and the people of the royal family working behind the scenes - that's how hard it was for her to accept the word of the Northern Knights' betrayal and the people of the royal family working behind the scenes.

 Alraune's power could force her to take notice, but her pollen could be a deleterious drug for those who didn't have a tolerance to it. Although she looks like an adorable girl, she is also a demon flower that sucks the life out of people.

...... bitter taste, but it makes you feel better.
'The grass has a sedative effect. If you extract it with cold water, you can make it into a drink, but it's best to have it nibbled raw because it's difficult to preserve .......
Oh, yeah. So you can make medicine, too? The doctors in the village where I grew up were the kind of people who get paid for folk medicine that may or may not work. The doctors I studied at the capital's academy are a whole different story: ......

 Medical care in this country is not that well developed compared to the world's standards. In the capital city, you can buy pills and ointments that are guaranteed to be of a certain level of quality, but as Presha-san said, in the rural areas, it seems that we have no choice but to rely on folk remedies and traditional treatment methods.

 The doctor at the clinic I met in the town of Portoro didn't immediately understand the patient's condition when I explained it to him, and I had some trouble sending him off with what he needed to do.

 How is it possible that there are no other doctors in this fortress, where we have border defenses and routinely fight bandits and demons? Although it was said that there was a shortage of military doctors.

   ◆◇◆

 We asked the jail keeper to take care of the rest and went up to the first floor of the fortress. Presha-san said she was going to lead me to the officers, and then she continued to walk in front of us for a while without saying a word - we went up to the third floor, and in the middle of the hallway to the next staircase, she unexpectedly asked for my back and came alongside me. As I continue walking, she starts to talk to me.

'...... I'm sorry about earlier. I can't stop when I get in my head,...... and my sister Raquel is always mad at me for doing too much. All of my guys are scared of me, and they won't let me do too many big jobs.

 Preciousha-san's strength was enough to tell even if she hadn't yet wielded her spear once.

 He was so strong that he could give the illusion that he would be killed by being pierced through the chest with just the killing intent, or so he thought. Even so, they didn't confess - they were more afraid of retribution from the people who asked them to smuggle weapons to them than they were of being killed by a spear through the heart.

'I know how you feel, Presha, and I know it's not nice to say ....... Under the circumstances, I don't think we had a choice.
"...... you are the ...... nothing. It may sound weird if you say it like this, but ...... you're there, so I don't have to kill people that I don't need to. It's funny that you say that now when you've already dealt with hundreds of people: ......

 I can see that Mr. Lendl is nervous - and I can understand that feeling.

 Presha-san was just as powerful as I had sensed from his behavior. It's a good thing that you're still young, but you've survived many battles and slaughtered the opponents you've faced.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to say this, but I'm sure it's a good idea for me to say it. There were times when the Zirconia army set up across the border. ...... The fortress didn't fall, but a lot of the enemy's soldiers died, and the enemy's new weapons caused some casualties to the soldiers. And then there were the attacks of the mages ...... those guys always break and kill from out of sight.

 In war, a mage is required to play a role in war. In the academy, too, the elements that are considered excellent - destruction from a distance and mass slaughter.

 If this fortress had suffered that damage as well, how horrible a sight would the military doctor who was there have seen.

'The boy is still in the fortress, but he can't be forced to do anything. If you're a man, you don't think you're going to get sick so easily if you're a man and you have to be there for the torture: ...... You think about it, and then I get hotter than you, and then I get hotter than you, and then I kill you or I don't kill you or I don't kill you. ......
...... No, I'm glad I was allowed to be there. If I do say so myself, I don't get upset at all when I see blood or see a bad injury. It doesn't change the fact that I'm a patient who needs to be healed for me.

 When I was studying to qualify as a spirit doctor, I was told by my supervisor at the exam not to get too emotionally involved in my patients.

 The previous military doctor did not have it because he was too kind. I don't think that's a bad thing; it's a wonderful and natural thing for people to do.

 But I know that my emotional turmoil can affect my treatment. That's why I tried to cultivate a spirit that is unfazed by any patient - I learned from the plant spirits who are always quietly watching over living things, alive and well.

"...... Dr. Glass doesn't look strong or anything, but he's kind of ...... big. He doesn't seem to fall down when you push him.
'Master Presha, please don't say anything that would put Master Glass at too much of a distraction. I'm his secretary, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to be impertinent.
Oh, ...... I'm sorry. My secretary, you know, she came with Dr. Glass. Right, if it's just the two of you, you shouldn't be sharing a room with anyone else. We'll both have to share a room together.
"Huh, that's ...... if you'd like to go to ......, Mr. Glass, but if it's possible, I'd like to keep my room separate, even if it's small. If you can, please visit ......

 It's true that there are some people who are suddenly sharing a room with other guys who are okay with each other, and others who are not. Sven also said at first, "It's hard to sleep calmly with people in the same room - well, that guy has a thick liver, so he fell asleep right after he said that.

'We don't have a dedicated room for military doctors, but there's a compartment where the medics are gathered, so let's get you a room there. I'll get the medic captain to meet you later, I won't be coming to the 'Round Table Room' we're going to, so I'll see you afterwards.
The Round Table Room ...... and that's where His Highness Astina is?
''Raquel sister ...... there's also a chief cavalryman. The chief archer, Mr. Deethe, has been called in, so if you make him wait too long, he might get shot.

 Presha-san, who had seemed to be thinking about it earlier, smiles.

 It doesn't change the fact that the situation is serious, but it's good if talking about it made you feel a little better. With that in mind, I went up to the fourth floor of the fortress where the round table room is located.
