Chapter 420 – Sabbath (3)

Han Jin-ah and Han Seon-ah enter the treatment room looking like they just came back from the dungeon.

It’s only been about a week since I started working in this treatment room, and even though today was only the fourth day of work.

Mina’s two younger sisters, who had just entered the treatment room, were like regular customers who came to visit me almost every day during my workday.

Well, even though he is a regular customer, he doesn’t really take money from his younger sisters, and this was his third visit in the first place.

“If you’re coming, don’t stand in line and call in advance. You guys can enter through the back door of the treatment room.”

“Ah, I only waited for about 30 minutes. Oppa, what bothers you so much?”

“I think the meaning of rules will not fade when they are followed without exception, older brother.”

“… With that being said, I really have nothing to say.”

Hearing Sun-ah’s argument as he entered while hitting her bones, he gently smiled at them while stroking her shriveled hair.

Immediately, among the twins, Jin-ah’s injury began treatment first.

Because of the grade difference, it was difficult to enter the same dungeon, so it was best to meet outside and treat them like this.

It would be nice if the younger sisters wanted to set up a separate meeting time instead of a treatment room like this, but they didn’t seem to want that kind of preferential treatment.

“Jin, where are you? Feet again?”

“Huh… Earlier, she entered the dungeon and caught Goblina with her kick, but she accidentally hit the wrong side because her heel throbbed a little…”

“Give me your feet.”

“Oh, oh, brother! Oh, because it hurts, take it easy…”

Han Jin-ah reacts loudly and crumples her expression even though she just grabs her to check it up close.

The reaction was so unusual that she took off one of her shoes and a sock to check the inside.

As expected, a swollen ankle was waiting for me inside.

“… It seems like I clearly told you yesterday, too, not to overdo it to the point of getting hurt like this.”

– Cook, cook.

“Oh, oh, brother! Don’t poke her finger in her swelling… !”

“Is this a swollen ankle from hitting the wrong one? Just looking at it, it was the ankle that I had endured and kept swinging while in a painful state. Are you going to keep lying?”

“Ahhh, Tae, Taekyung oppaak… !”

No matter how much I was on temporary duty as a healer, these days, Jin-ah’s injuries seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Seeing how Jin-ah came home with this kind of injury, I don’t think her Sun-ah would be all that well either.

Having a similar premonition, I came out from behind her and moved her gaze to Sun-ah, who was watching Jin-ah, and said.

“Han Seon-ah, hold out your hand for a moment too.”

“… Here, brother.”

“Ha…”

Looking at the broken and cracked fingernails here and there, a deep sigh escaped spontaneously from my mouth.

Upon my reaction, Jin-ah and Sun-ah immediately started making excuses while looking at me.

“I won’t be hurt like this next time, oppa! Huh?!”

“Until today, I was just not used to dealing with new monsters. From tomorrow, there will be nothing for my older brother to worry about…”

Apparently, the two people’s similar excuses that I heard yesterday.

Judging from this, she will probably show up with a similar level of injury the next time she visits the treatment room.

It seemed that preventing the two from being injured was more important than blind treatment.

“By the way, Jin-ah and Sun-ah, how long are you guys going to fight with your bare hands? Did you at least learn how to handle a dagger like Min-ah?”

“That, rice, doesn’t really matter… ? Well, I can fight enough in this state right now…”

“Me and Jina unnie’s awakening abilities are from the animal world, so we can go up to C rank well even in this state… ?”

… Based on the performance of the two people that Minah is listening to these days, it is likely that both of them will be able to rise to C rank before it is too late.

Probably, unless something special happened, both Jina and Suna would be able to raise their Hunter ratings within half a year at the most.

However, the reason why I felt a strange sense of incongruity from the two was because of Jina’s continued excuse-like words.

“With your skills, you’ll probably be able to rise to C level within half a year.”

“Yep. If you go up to C rank, the weapon problem will be solved somehow…”

“If you only go up to C grade… What?”

“… Ah.”

In an instant, Jin-ah shuts her mouth as if she had made a mistake, and Sun-ah looks away from her as if she didn’t know what she was saying.

However, as soon as I heard the words of the two, I was able to figure out what they meant by ‘Class C’.

Hopefully this speculation in my head is wrong, I ask both of them about what I just mentioned.

“… I hope you guys.”

“Huh… ?”

“… Why is that, brother?”

“You guys, have you been fighting bare-body until now because of the equipment support you received from the C-class hunter?”

“…”

“…”

“Ha…”

No matter how much they say that they are Han Min-ah’s younger sisters, I would never have thought that even this part resembled my older sister.

It must have been my mistake to think that if Mina’s younger sisters made money from her hunter life, Mina’s heart would be free.

It just changed from the eldest sister and the twins who were in trouble to three sisters who were in trouble.

Does it make sense that you don’t even have a proper weapon while living a hunter life where your life comes and goes with just one piece of equipment?

Seeing my serious face, the two younger sisters hurriedly made excuses.

“Yeah, it’s not worth it… ! Even if you only get promoted to Class C, the company will support you with quite a bit of equipment, but it seems like a waste of money to buy equipment that you won’t use for a year…”

“No, now you guys are making money too. Didn’t you get your first paycheck not too long ago? If you don’t have enough money, you’d better ask me or Minah to lend it to you…”

“… It’s not that I’m in a bad situation to borrow a hand from my older brother, but when I think it’s the money I earned with my own blood and sweat, for some reason, I think it’s rather difficult to spend…”

“Well, and if you collect them, they might be used for something else, right?! Maybe we can use it to finance my sister’s move, or maybe use it for other necessary furniture…”

What does that mean when the person who will enter that new house comes in with injuries like this every day?

After grabbing Jin-ah’s ankles with both hands for an immature sound still out of her mind, she intentionally spilled her divine power more strongly in the sense of self-reflection.

“It’s a good thing, very. Huh?”

“Aagh! Ah, it hurts! Brother, it hurts! Ahhh… !”

“If you get hurt like this every day, it will cost more money for recovery magic. Or do you think I can get hurt as much as I want because I don’t take money from you guys?”

“Aagh! Oops, aaagh!”

Han Jin-ah vomits painful moans in a soundproofed treatment room.

After the swelling of her swollen left foot subsided, Jin-ah’s voice barely died down.

“Ha, ha, it hurts…”

“If you’re going to say you’re sick, you shouldn’t come here because you’re hurt like this in the first place.”

“Hey…”

Han Jin-ah grabs her ankle, where her swelling has subsided, and picks up her socks and shoes again.

Han Seon-ah, who was watching this situation with a nervous expression, also, as soon as her eyes met mine, she cautiously approached me and held out her hand.

“Sunah, what are you all about? Not even her fingernails are all broken like this.”

“… I’m sorry, brother.”

“Hunter, don’t you know that your body is your most important asset? This much can be healed with my recovery spell, but what if I fight without a weapon and come back with even more serious injuries?”

“But usually, we only deal with enough monsters that we won’t get hurt before returning. The days when I catch monsters that are a bit stronger to the extent that it is difficult to avoid injury are only on the days Taekyung’s older brother goes to work. It hurts for a while, but I thought it would be a good result if I could advance the promotion time with it…”

“… My hand here. I need to get treatment first.”

“… I’m sorry for worrying you, brother.”

Han Seon-ah carefully holds out her hands, her fingers scratching and her fingernails splitting, to me.

Gently wrapping one side of her hand, she slowly let her divine power flow.

Both of her scarred hands began to slowly return to her original pretty hands.

“…”

“Chi, shame on you, brother! Heal only me from pain!”

“Sunah is reflecting properly. Jin, you still don’t even know what you did wrong, right?”

“… Oh, I know… ?”

“I know very well.”

She said that she would come back with a similar level of wound next time.

Of course, it was common for the two twins to always act together, so maybe the day Jin-ah came home injured, Sun-ah would also come home injured.

This was the third time that I had even spoken to her, but judging from Jina’s attitude, she probably didn’t even listen properly.

Even after February passed, I couldn’t guarantee that I would be able to take care of the two of them’s wounds.

It was a time when a fundamental solution was needed for both of them.

“… I’m off work in 30 minutes. You guys wait in the company lobby until I get off work.”

“Huh?”

“Yes?”

“Hey guys, let’s stop by somewhere with me today.”

Two people looking at me with questionable expressions and tilting their heads.

It was time to visit to drop off the sword, so I guess I could take these guys with me.

Even if it was to make sure that these dangerous, embittered sisters would no longer be able to push themselves barefoot when dealing with monsters.
