Chapter 5
“You are all right now.”
I informed Sarina that her illness had disappeared as I examined her.
“Thank you.”
Sarina has completely recovered, and there was no more dark atmosphere around her.
“Yoshinobu, thank you so much.”
Rizark was sincerely happy about Sarina’s recovery.
“Well then, I’ll leave tomorrow.”
“No, please wait. There’s no need to leave.”
“But the agreement was until Sarina’s complete recovery, and I had received quite a bit of money for that. I will feel bad if I take more than that.”
“What are you saying, Yoshinobu? Thanks to you, the people in the territory are healthy. Please stay with us in the future.”
While Rizark desperately tried to stop him,
“Yoshinobu, can you let me repay the favor? If it weren’t for you, I would have died by now. Please, I beg you.”
Sarina, a beautiful girl, had tears in her eyes, and I couldn’t brush off her efforts to keep me here.
“Understood, but I don’t need any reward. Let’s consider it as a free stay.”
“No, please accept the reward. How about two gold coins per day?”
“That is more than before! I don’t need it. Besides, I have received so much and have never used it.”
Since I used my skills, I didn’t even need money for the ingredients of the medicine. While the rewards piled up, the 180 gold coins remained unused.
As I discussed the reward with Rizark, a visitor arrived.
“Viscount Moss, are you at home?”
A loud voice could be heard from the entrance. Moreover, the person seemed hurried and entered, disregarding his etiquette.
“Viscount Moss!”
“Oh, Duke Squall, how can I help you?”
As Rizark and Sarina bowed their heads, I followed suit.
“I heard that there is someone who can cure the incurable lung disease here!”
“Yes, my daughter Sarina has been cured.”
“Oh! Your daughter was afflicted as well? Is she healed now?”
“Yes, she is here.”
Duke Squall’s gaze turned to Sarina.
“Nice to meet you, I am Rizark Moss’ first daughter, Sarina Moss.”
“I am Alex Squall. It seems you’ve recovered, haven’t you?”
“Yes, it took six months of treatment, but I am completely healed.”
“I see… Viscount Moss, please, could you introduce me to that doctor? My wife and daughter have also been infected.”
Alex bowed his head deeply.
“Please raise your head. Mister Yoshinobu, can you help them?”
“I need to see their symptoms first, but I will do what I can.”
“Oh, so you’re the doctor!”
“Yes, pleased to meet you. I am Yoshinobu.”
“Please, can you help my wife and daughter?”
“Before that, I have one request.”
“What is it? Go ahead and tell me.”
“I am a commoner, and I do not understand much manners or etiquette among the nobles. I hope you can pardon me for that.”
“Such trivial matters don’t matter. I swear using my name that I won’t hold you accountable even if you act rudely.”
“Thank you. In that case, I would like to go.”
While I was discussing heading to Duke Squall’s territory, it seemed that Sarina was trying to persuade Rizark about something.
“Mister Yoshinobu. Can I follow along?”
“Sarina? No, isn’t that inappropriate? Right, Rizark-san?”
“No, I also agree. Moreover, there are times when it’s better to have a woman while treating other women.”
“Certainly, that’s not wrong… All right then, shall we go together, Sarina?”
“Yes!”
Sarina beamed a big smile on her face at me.
It seemed that during the six months of being together, I have realized how healing Sarina’s smile was.
