51 – How the Hero Contacts
Every day, Daisy noticed Kim Cheol-soo, who took care of her.
Kim Cheol-soo checked Daisy’s pulse, breathing, body temperature, and leg condition twice a day at set times.
For Daisy, that time was also a time for healing her heart.
“Sigh…”
Daisy let out a sigh.
When will I be able to return?
It feels like the hero has entered the frontlines, and the demon army is fiercely resisting.
She wanted to cut the demon king’s throat right away in her heart, and go see Mr. Kim Cheol-soo…
But she might be tied to the frontlines for who knows how long.
Daisy desperately thought about teleportation.
“What if I just teleport for a moment and come back?”
Mateo suggested to Daisy.
Among her fellow warriors, priest Lala and mage Mateo knew that Daisy had a crush on Mr. Kim Cheol-soo.
They also supported Daisy’s love.
“No… I know when the demon army will push forward.”
Daisy rejected Mateo’s proposal.
What if the demon army attacked while she was back with Count Roland?
Even though Daisy was overwhelmed by the love she felt for the Count for the first time in her life, she was originally a dutiful warrior.
“…Sigh.”
Daisy’s heavy-hearted feeling deepened.
Mateo and Lala, Daisy’s love counselors, looked at each other.
This won’t be easy.
Will Daisy be depressed all the time like this?
Mateo and Lala put their heads together.
How can we improve Daisy’s mood?
Suddenly, an idea sparked in Lala’s mind!
“Daisy!”
“…Yes?”
“How about writing a letter?”
“A letter?”
“Yes. Exchanging letters with Kim Cheol-soo.”
Even if they couldn’t meet, exchanging letters could make them pen pals!
It would be better to exchange news through letters than not communicating at all.
Daisy blinked her eyes.
“Uh… Would writing letters make things better?”
“Of course. Daisy, don’t you want to receive letters from Mr. Kim Cheol-soo?”
Lara knew that if she received a letter from Mr. Kim Chul-soo, she would definitely reply.
Daisy’s complexion brightened a bit.
A letter from Mr. Kim Chul-soo, she wanted it.
Daisy’s ears perked up.
Moreover, unlike teleportation, transporting objects through transference magic requires less mana.

It would be easy to exchange letters via transference magic.
“I’ll be the one to write the first letter to Mr. Kim Chul-soo and to unlock the transference magic circle.”
What Lara tossed, Matteo caught!
Matteo was determined to become a letter carrier himself.
Daisy was intrigued.
“Well… should I try writing a letter?”
“Yes. I recommend it.”
“I recommend it too.”
The conclusion drawn from the collective intellect of Lara and Matteo!
Daisy began searching for a suitable envelope and paper, listening to her companions’ advice.
* * * *
Just when I was planning to relax over the weekend, Matteo paid a visit to my room after a long time.
A welcoming face!
When I suggested he should take a break, Matteo apologized for being busy and simply handed me a letter.
“To Mr. Kim Chul-soo.
Are you enduring the cold winter well? Mr. Kim Chul-soo. This is Daisy.
It has been about two months since I left the Earl Roland and found myself on the battlefield. It feels like just yesterday that I was being treated by you. Time flies.
The winter on the battlefield is cold and fierce. It feels like a faint smell of blood is carried on the cold wind. But do not worry.
I will overcome all of this and show you that I can protect you, Mr. Kim Chul-soo.
I will not let you face the Demon King’s army alone.
Please take care of yourself and always be well.
From Daisy.”
It was a letter from Miss Daisy.
“Miss Daisy is on the battlefield.”
I hadn’t heard any news since Miss Daisy left Earl Roland.
I was glad to finally hear from her.
“It’s a relief that everyone is safe. I was worried about the dangerous work you were doing.”
“Haha, it’s all thanks to Mr. Kim Chul-soo for fixing Daisy’s leg.”
“Oh my! Although it’s thanks to the brave warriors working hard, isn’t it?”
After exchanging pleasantries with Matteo, I carefully folded the letter and placed it in my drawer.
For some reason, Matteo was watching my every move intently.
Matteo was like a viper with its prey right in front of it!
“Mr. Kim Chul-soo.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Will you… reply to the letter?”
“Ah, a reply to the letter? I see, I should give it to you.”
Daisy will be curious about the news from this side too!
…Honestly, there’s hardly any change in Viscount Roland.
Still, it’s been two months, so there should be some small news.
The news of Linda’s pregnancy and the foal Leonardo and mare Leona matching eyes in Viscount Roland’s stable. Oh, should I also mention my volunteer work at the Merhen Orphanage?
Well, anyway, there are some small things.
I took out the parchment on the spot and wrote the letters as neatly as possible!
Writing about recent events.
I also included my wish for Daisy’s safety on the battlefield in the letter, watching Matteo’s reaction.
…For some reason, it seemed like Matteo would be upset if I didn’t give him the letter with a scary expression on his face.
I nervously handed the letter to Matteo, swallowing hard and feeling the tension!
As I handed him the letter, a smile spread across Matteo’s face.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Kim Cheol-su.”
“Haha.. You’re welcome.”
“The next time you give me a letter, just put it in the mailbox of Room 1. We have a teleportation magic circle in the mailbox. Just put the letter in and infuse a bit of divine power, and it will fly to us.”
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
Like magic.
It’s said that if you put the letter on the magic circle and infuse a bit of divine power, the letter will be sent.
I suddenly felt a little nostalgic for text messages and KakaoTalk on my phone!
“Please write to Daisy anytime you feel comfortable. Daisy is looking forward to your letters.”
Well, Matteo’s intention was so obvious that it made me a little uncomfortable.
Does Matteo know that Daisy likes me?
I’m not completely sure.
I think Daisy has some feelings for me.
When Daisy left the Viscount, she hugged me.
The embrace where I could feel Daisy’s small frame.
At that moment, the embrace clearly had a sweet, melancholic atmosphere of love between a man and a woman.
…If I’m just imagining it, I must be drinking a lot of kimchi soup.
But for now, that’s what I think.
I mean, there’s a certain romantic vibe between Daisy and me.
“Haha.. I’ll write to you often.”
Anyway, regardless of the romantic aspect, Daisy was my precious first patient!
I consider myself quite close to Daisy, so I can’t help but worry and care for her.
As long as Daisy doesn’t feel burdened, I should write her many letters.
This medieval pen pal thing is kind of a new feeling, isn’t it?
I’m also curious about the stories from the battlefield.
Matteo’s complexion brightened very much at my positive response!
That day, Matteo teleported from Viscount Roland to the battlefield in an instant.
Daisy, who received Kim Cheol-soo’s letter, read it slowly with an expectant look on her face.
She closed her eyes as if water seeped into her body, holding the letter dearly to her chest.
Daisy truly looked like a young girl.
* * * *
Four months had passed.
The new year came and went.
Winter passed, revealing the arrival of spring!
During this time, there were minor events, but most of the events were simply offerings and prayers at the temple.
Any holidays or special occasions were all related to the temple.
Let’s discuss the details later.
The important news is about pregnant Linda!
Cotton’s wife, Linda, now had a significantly swollen belly.
Just by placing a hand on Linda’s belly, one could feel the baby moving!
Linda’s due date was approaching.
It was time to choose a midwife.
Bianca, known for her excellent midwifery skills in the village, offered to help.
“I’ve delivered over 100 babies myself.”
With her wrinkled hands raised, Bianca, an extraordinary midwife, moved her fingers like a living catfish.
It was not the first time she gently caressed Linda’s swollen belly at Cotton’s house.
“Cheonsugwanum…!?”
I was astonished by Bianca’s dazzling hand movements.
Indeed, there seemed to be experts even in folk remedies.
Bianca’s hands were fast and gentle as if leaving a thousand traces.
The fact that Linda’s face relaxed as her belly was touched was evidence of Bianca’s skill.
Bianca’s hands seemed like a thousand hands!
“That’s why my nickname is Bianca, the Angel’s Hands.”
…I didn’t know she even had a nickname.
She seemed trustworthy.
A seasoned midwife with a solid reputation.
Ah, I crave some japchae.
Linda’s labor pains began a week after Bianca was chosen as the midwife.
It was when Linda was 38 weeks pregnant.
Cotton rushed into my clinic with an urgent expression on his face.
“Cheol-soo!!”
As soon as I saw Cotton, I realized the truth about Linda’s labor pains.
The time had come, and I was prepared.
I asked Jessica,
“Jessica, please call Matthew from Yeongjuseong to come and help with the delivery. It seems like we’ll need assistance.”
“Okay!”
Matthew had recently obtained a vacant room at Roland Viscount’s residence and was living there.
Lord John sent me. It’s quite a long way to go back and forth.
Since Matthew and our clinic are close by, there shouldn’t be much delay in medical treatment.
I also told Matthew in advance that I might need to help Linda with her delivery soon, so he should be prepared for a day of hard work.
I trusted him.
“Kim Cheol-soo, I’ll go too! I told Malboi brothers to go to work.”
“Understood!”
I ran to Cotton’s house with Miss Catherine and Cotton.
It’s the first delivery seen by Baron Roland!
