After returning with Mr. Deethe's unit, he performed surgery to remove the arrows from the captive.

　A chemical solution was pumped inside the wound to disinfect it and stitch it up. The arrow had hit his leg, but the nerve and large blood vessels had been dislodged, and the wound, while serious, was not life-threatening.

　He had been trained in surgery, but this was the first time he had ever performed a full-scale operation like this. After finishing the sutures and protecting the wound, I was still stunned for a while, and finally came to myself when Katie called out to me.

'Thank you for your hard work, Dr Glass. It was a stunning surgery ...... I've never seen such beautiful stitches in my life.

　The thread I'm using is made of vegetable-based fibers. This allows me to control the thread precisely when it comes to suturing, so I can suture it the way I want.

'I'm glad it worked. We will have to watch his condition carefully for a while, though. If you feel any pain, call me immediately.

　Right now, he's still unconscious due to blood loss, but he'll eventually regain consciousness. However, he will need to be monitored to make sure he doesn't try to escape.

'And thank you, Katie, for being my assistant.
No, no, ...... I can only watch. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't even know what the tools Dr. Glass had in his possession are used for, even though I've heard their names: ......

　What the medics are taught is essentially first aid knowledge, so if they don't know the names of the surgical tools used by the doctors, it's no wonder they don't know them.

　However, Katie-san is a quick learner, and if the other medics can see and learn the surgical procedures, the medical skills of this Order will be raised to the bottom of the whole range.

''Well, I'd better get back to my room and rest. See you tomorrow, please.
Yes. Thank you. Good night, Dr. Glass.

　A long day is coming to an end - or maybe the day is already changing.

　Maybe it's because I'm using my magic in rapid succession, but I could lose consciousness at any moment. Somehow, I have to get to the residence safely .......

　　　◆◇◆

　I don't really remember what happened after I returned to my room. I was greeted by Mr. Lendl, managed to get dressed and rolled into bed in my room, and the next time I woke up, the sky I could see through the window was white.

　We had to be on time to the dining room for breakfast as well, since there were so many people in the room. After washing my face and changing, Lendl and I took a bread and leafy vegetable soup today. There is a choice of oatmeal, but I'd rather have something hot.

'Hey, I heard that ...... was awesome yesterday ......'
'I can't believe a man is coming to ...... our military and our policy is ......'
It's okay.　He seems nice, and if you can see that doctor, you can go to .......

　It's being blatantly gossiped about - not only by the sanitation building, but also by the rest of the unit. Maybe it's because I worked with Mr. Deethe's archer's unit yesterday.

.............
'Leigh, Mr. Rendle. Please, don't tell your sister-in-law.
'No, no, ...... I don't want to complain about anything in particular. It was a fresh surprise to me that Mr. Glass had such a wide range of women in his sights.
'Isn't that a subtle way of putting it: ......?　Well, even in the narrowest of confines, they don't hold much in the way of favors.
...... Is that right?
Yeah, why not?

　What is this awkward exchange? From Mr. Lendl's point of view, do you think I'm doing someone a favor and not realizing it?

'As Katie-sama has said, Master Glass has gained the popularity of the medics overnight. The fact that he can do that means that the others can, too.
I don't know. ...... I hope so.

　The biggest challenge for me at the moment is gaining the trust of Raquel-san.

　I hope that the trust will build up as I receive her instructions and carry them out. I have a feeling that it won't be enough to change her mind about her aversion to magic.

''Whatever it is, we just need to do what we can do, one thing at a time. Good day to you, Rendle-san.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Glass.

　The conversation is settled and the rest of us are focused on eating. But every move is being watched by other soldiers - from the youngest to the motherly. This capital's theatrical actor-like attention span is the only thing that needs to be improved.
