43 – Warrior’s Discharge
Lara was dumbfounded.
Teleportation magic requires a lot of magical power.
If done wrong, it could lead to exhaustion from excessive use of magical power.
Daisy was willing to endure this level of discomfort and go back and forth between the battlefield and Roland Viscount’s place.
“First love is scary.”
Lara felt a one-sided love for the first time in her life, which she had never experienced through her lifelong training.
It was such a desperate heart that the child, who was crazed about catching the demon king, couldn’t come to his senses because of love.
Lara wanted to support Daisy.
“Daisy, I’ll persuade the comrades. We’ll set up the teleportation magic circle and make it so you can return to Roland Viscount’s place whenever you want.”
“Lara, really..?”
“After defeating the demon king, there must be something you want to do. It’s okay to look for that in your relationship with Kim Cheol-soo.”
Lara learned about Daisy’s feelings during the Winter Festival campfire.
That’s what this Lara does.
Daisy felt so grateful.
“Thank you, Lara!”
Daisy held hands with Lara and felt a deep camaraderie!

Daisy gathered her comrades in Room 1!
It was a long-awaited gathering since Daisy hurt her leg and withdrew from the scene.
While Count Roland had been enjoying an empty house, Daisy bowed her head to her comrades who had been idling around.
“I’m sorry for holding you back all this time! I’ll gather my strength and lead the party again.”
“What do you mean?”
“Yeah, let’s get ready to leave.”
Daisy declared her discharge!
The barbarian warrior Numidia smiled subtly.
Although she had been tied to Count Roland’s place for a long time, warrior Daisy was a reliable leader and fighter.
In facing the demon army, Daisy’s presence was a great help.
Numidia had been sulking lately for not being able to go after the demon, but now she was relieved.
Because Daisy said it was time to go after the demon.
Numidia wasn’t one to fuss over minor things.
“Well then, that’s good. Now we can get revenge on those demon scum.”
“Seriously, I thought I was a goner back there!”
Numidia said as the martial artist Carrot swung her fists in combat style.
Despite Daisy’s silent concern for her health, there had been underlying discontent among the comrades.
Daisy sighed quietly to herself.
A mixture of regret for her comrades and the reluctance to leave Mr. Kim Cheolsu now coexisted.
…Of course, they would set up a teleportation magic circle.

Priestess Lara stepped forward and provided a plausible explanation.
“I’ll just set up a teleportation magic circle here. When there’s a break in the battlefield, Daisy will teleport here to have Mr. Kim Cheolsu check on her injuries. Just in case her leg that got hurt might worsen.”
Using teleportation for leg care!
Since for warriors, “leg care” equals “combat power,” the comrades easily understood.
Mr. Kim Cheolsu could manage Daisy’s health in a short time.
“Well, it seems like Kim Cheolsu the healer is quite something.”
“I thought Kim Cheolsu looked a bit flaky!”
“Carrot, being flaky and healing are different things.”
Numidia, Carrot, and Mateo shared their impressions of Kim Cheolsu.
Although their opinions differed, ultimately, the atmosphere allowed Daisy to teleport back to Count Roland’s place.
Daisy was grateful for her comrades’ consideration.
“I’ll do my best.”
“Daisy, you’ve always given your best. Just don’t get hurt because of your enthusiasm.”
“…Yeah.”
Daisy responded to Mateo’s words.
Noomidia and Carrot were delighted to know that they could leave now, so they went to pack their things.
Matteo, who saw them leaving, stayed behind and quietly asked Daisy, “Daisy, do you like Kim Chul-soo?”
Matteo asked Daisy directly about her feelings!
Daisy was visibly taken aback.
Because Matteo hit the nail on the head.
Seeing Daisy’s reaction, Matteo was convinced that Daisy liked Kim Chul-soo.
“Of course. Don’t worry, I won’t spread any rumors. I just guessed that you had a lot of affection for Kim Chul-soo.”
As if he were a magician.
Matteo had sensed Daisy’s feelings with his sharp intuition.
“I… I’m sorry, am I being too selfish?”
Daisy didn’t deny Matteo’s words with a defeated look.
Instead, she apologized.
It seemed that Daisy was uncomfortable because she had lied to her colleagues in order to meet Kim Chul-soo.
But Matteo shook his head.
“You wanted to defeat the Demon King for the sake of revenge on your family. They say revenge leaves nothing behind. It’s better to have someone to protect.”
“Someone to protect.”
To Daisy, that person might not be Kim Chul-soo.
“I’ll support you, Daisy. I hope things go well with Kim Chul-soo.”
“Thank you, Matteo..!”
Matteo smirked and nodded.
No matter what, it was a tight-knit group of warriors!

After I finished the treatment, Daisy requested to be discharged today!
“Discharge? Yes, you can definitely be discharged now.”
Since there were no problems when I checked the surgical site last time, it’s okay for her to be discharged.
Daisy is now using crutches and moving around quite well.
Still, I felt a bittersweet feeling when I heard that Daisy was going to be discharged.
Daisy, the first inpatient I received in this world.
It feels like Room 1 will feel empty once Daisy is discharged.
“Thank you for everything, Kim Chul-soo.”
Daisy knelt on the bed in Room 1 and bowed her head to me!
“Oh, it’s just something I should do as a doctor. Don’t worry about it.”
“No, it’s something I will remember for the rest of my life.”
“Cough, it’s a little burdensome. But thank you.”
It feels great to hear her say that as a healthcare professional.
Still, I was also happy that Daisy was getting better and being discharged.
After taking a few deep breaths, Daisy looked up and stared at me with fiery eyes.
“I will definitely eliminate the Demon King’s hand from Roland Viscount.”
“That’s right, the Demon King is here.”
I’ve never seen a demon or a devil, so I tend to forget about them.
I didn’t ask where the devil was.
To me, it felt like Ms. Daisy was going to participate in the Middle East war, so it seemed a bit distant.
“…Don’t overdo it. Safety first, and then safety.”
I’ve never dealt with a soldier patient before.
A patient going to war is a first for Korea and Viscount Roland!
“I will remember, I will remember again.”
Ms. Daisy bowed her head once again to me.
Ms. Daisy, the patient who cooperated well with me!
I sincerely hope that Ms. Daisy will finish the war well and come back.
The night I heard about Ms. Daisy’s discharge, I prepared for her discharge!
I put a lot of Kim Cheol-soo’s special patches and herbs in a big bag, and wrote down the leg care method on a piece of paper and put it in.
“Hmm, I can satisfy Ms. Daisy by developing Kim Cheol-soo’s special patches.”
Since Ms. Daisy often said she was in pain, I put a lot of Kim Cheol-soo’s special patches in!
Now, she will apply the patches herself when she’s in pain.
Well, I heard that they installed a teleportation magic circle near Room 1.
They said Ms. Daisy will come for treatment occasionally.
I readily agreed.
After all, she’s my patient going to the battlefield, so I can’t help but worry.
Ms. Daisy is a hero, so I think highly of her.
We’ve become much closer during this time.
“Ah, the battlefield. I’m worried about Ms. Daisy.”
Honestly, I don’t think I’d have the courage to face the devil’s army!
If I had the eternal partner of Korean soldiers, the K2 rifle, maybe.
I carefully packed the discharge items with a hesitant feeling!
* * * *
The next day, Ms. Daisy’s discharge day.
Many people from Viscount Roland gathered.
Fellow heroes packed their bags and said their goodbyes!
I stuck with Ms. Daisy and gave her discharge education.
“Ms. Daisy, make sure to apply the special patches when you’re in pain. If you happen to get a big wound, remember they installed a teleportation magic circle, use that to come over.”
“…If I get hurt, will you operate on me again?”
“Ah, of course!”
How many people in this era can perform surgery!
I’d rather do it myself than leave it to someone unverified.
Ms. Daisy blushed and remained silent, then quietly spoke up.
“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo really… feels like he’s supporting me from behind.”
“Hmm, really? I’m glad if it helped.”
“May I… be rude?”
“Be rude?”
Daisy exhaled for a long while and cautiously approached me, then embraced me tightly!
“…I’m sorry.”
“Haha… you seem a bit flustered.”
I was truly flustered!
I could feel Catherine’s warm gaze behind me!
And even the Marquis and Marchioness of Roland seemed to be eyeing me!
…But Daisy’s body wasn’t as stiff as I expected.
It was somewhat soft, and smaller than I thought.
Receiving a hug from a patient was perplexing, being the first time.
But now that she’s discharged and no longer a patient, it should be fine… right?
Daisy buried her face in my chest and remained silent for a long while.
I’m not sure if I should say this, but…
Daisy had a faint scent of fresh grass.
