Episode 153 – Consolation Time
As if not a single germ was tolerated, this hospital room, filled with only pure white, was so large that it was the size of a living room in a tolerable house. .
However, there were not two, not three, or four people using this space.
One person.
Literally, only one person occupied this large hospital room, waiting for the wound to heal while receiving treatment here.
The door to the hospital room opened, revealing a beautiful brown-haired woman holding in both hands a silver tray of disinfectant and bandages.
“Brother. Time to bandage.”
The brown-haired woman called the white-haired man who was sitting on the bed a young boy.
“Oh, Nina. Has it already been that time?”
Of course, the white-haired man is Adalbert. The person who opened the door to the hospital room he was in was his lady-in-waiting, now his advisor, Nina.
As a professor of healing, she should be treating the wounded in the infirmary at Noble Academy, but now she looked like Adalbert’s exclusive doctor.
Going closer to the bed Adalbert was on, she placed a tray on the chest of drawers right next to the bed.
Nina removed Adalbert’s patient gown with her skillful hands.
Then, out of the two bandages covering his wound, he undid the bandage that had been wrapped around his right shoulder.
As she undid the bandage, Adalbert’s shoulder, which was still not full of flesh, was revealed.
I tried all the medicines that were said to be good for wound healing, but Adalbert’s wound was only slow to recover.
“The wound is recovering slowly.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Even though I wrapped it with a bandage soaked in the finest potion, recovery is proceeding as if no potion was used.”
Looking at Adalbert’s scars, Nina had an expression full of worry and concern.
It was a gruesome wound that would be difficult for an ordinary person to see even in her lifetime, but Nina took off her bandage that was covering the wound, and as if it was nothing, she soaked the bandage in her potion and recovered Adalbert’s affected area again. Wrapped around
“By the way, why are you soaking the bandage with the potion?”
Adalbert carefully observed Nina’s actions, and she asked what she was curious about.
It was like that before, but it was because I was curious about why the bandage was soaked in the potion and then wrapped around the affected area.
“There are two types of potions. One is to pour directly on the affected area, and the other is to soak it in something like a bandage and cover the affected area so that it heals slowly.”
“Really?”
“Yes. When treating small wounds, you use a potion that is poured directly into the affected area.”
After hearing Nina’s answer, Adalbert had one more question.
“Then, what potion do you use for such a big wound?”
“Yes, of course I use a potion that maximizes my natural resilience. If you use anything called a potion, your wounds will become sore and you could die.”
Some people might find it creepy to see Nina casually saying that she could die if she goes wrong with her treatment, but in reality she was concentrating on her treatment, so she just let the river flow. It was just talking.
“First of all, I wrapped the shoulders, and then I will go to the abdomen by soaking the potion over the bandage.”
“Aren’t you going to wear a bandage?”
“I changed my bandage yesterday, so today I’m just going to wet it with some potion. So please lie down quietly.”
Nina gently pushed Adalbert to the bed.
Adalbert knew that what she was doing was to heal herself, so she laid her body in her hands and lay down on the bed.
Nina opened the lid of the potion after confirming that Adalbert was lying on the bed.
“Ugh.”
“The smell is a bit nasty, but bear with it. It’s all because they’re saying it’s good for you, Bocchan.”
As Adalbert sniffed her potion and frowned at her, she said as if Nina was addressing her little child.
“[Clean].”
Before she worked on infusing her potion into the bandage, she first cleaned her hands with a clean magic.
She then poured some of her potion into her own hand and then she guided her hand towards the bandage that was wrapped around Adalbert’s abdomen.
She saw her own hand put on top of her Adalbert and she tilted her hand cautiously.
Then she ran down her hand and the potion dripped slowly over the bandage.
The potion that flowed down her hand slowly began to seep into the bandage.
When the potion she poured into her hand flowed down, she poured the potion into her hand again.
She poured her potion over and over and over again, and as a result, the bottle of potion she brought with her was completely empty.
“It’s done. Wake up now.”
“Okay, how long do I have to continue this treatment?”
As Adalbert got out of bed, he asked Nina how long this indefinite treatment would last.
As he continued to lie in bed, he felt his whole body tingle.
Even when Adalbert was learning healing, he never stopped training his body by honing his swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship is like taking care of a sword.
If it has been repaired to a certain extent, the degree of rust is less, and it will take a long time to rust, but it is not completely rust-free.
“We are still far away. I wonder what kind of monster he fought to make his wound heal so slowly.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Nina sighed and scolded Adalbert.
“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you.”
“I know. It looks like a dragon, but you said it was a black monster with tentacles that spewed explosive black spheres out of its mouth.”
Nina had listened to Adalbert’s explanations so much that she could now speak fluently about the appearance and characteristics of the monsters Adalbert had dealt with.
“Of all the monsters I’ve dealt with, they were the most difficult to deal with.”
There was a hint of fear in Adalbert’s voice as he recalled his encounter with the Void Eater.
“No matter how strong a monster is, it has its inherent limitations. So it is easier to deal with monsters than to deal with people.”
Nina was just listening to what Adalbert was saying.
“However, it was a bit difficult to deal with that guy. It was a monster I had never seen before, so it was quite difficult to figure out the opponent’s attack method.”
Recalling that time, Adalbert’s eyes were on his window.
Outside the window, the sunlight that brightened the outside was shining warmly on the world.
“If you think about it, even being able to look out the window right here… I think it was possible because I was very lucky.”
Adalbert’s words must have been referring to the last moment.
I deployed my Aura Blade and charged at it, and at that moment, the Void Eater used its legs to create a shockwave that sent Adalbert off the ground and leaping into the air.
The results were disastrous.
His right shoulder and abdomen were pierced by black tentacles, which sealed the means of attack.
Fortunately, right after that, Count Maydern appeared and attacked the Void Eater to save Adalbert.
And after several battles, the Void Eater fell, and everyone who was present at the time, including Adalbert, was able to save their lives.
“I guess I’m still far away.”
“Boss… ….”
“It seems that surpassing my father is still in the distant future.”
Adalbert, lamenting his lack of skill, laughed awkwardly.
Nina’s heart ached when she saw Adalbert like that.
He wasn’t incompetent, he was just lacking.
Nina looked at Adalbert, who berated herself, then went over to him and she hugged him.
“You… me?”
“It’s okay, young boy. Because he survived You just have to train harder.”
Nina hugged Adalbert and comforted him.
I lost because of my lack of experience, but what does that mean?
Since he survived, he could use his previous experience as a stepping stone to rise to a higher position.
Even if no one else thought so, she firmly believed that Nina was right in what she thought.
Just as the two were hugging each other, someone opened the door to the hospital room and came in.
“Hmm?”
“Hmm?”
The people who opened the door and entered were Countess Meidern and Countess Meidern.
“Ah… ….”
“Uh… ….”
Of course, Adalbert and Nina were frozen in their posture by the sudden appearance of Count Meidern and his wife.
“Hmm, hmm. You look healthy.”
“Oh dear~ I will see my grandson soon.”
It was a bonus that the two of them were even more confused by Countess Maydern’s seemingly hesitant reaction, and Countess Maydern’s reaction, which suddenly took off even more.
