Chapter 481 – Doctor Gamdeokbae (17)

As I watched from the side, Marsha was a pretty attractive woman. She’s cute, she’s funny, and to be honest, I’ll touch her… I was about to think that. Although it was a little disappointing that her breasts were small… She’s like all the original romance characters. It was unusual for her to be like Serpin, so she had some extenuating circumstances. Her small breasts were within acceptable range.

However… Now is the time to take care of yourself.

She said she was a good woman. She snapped. She couldn’t afford a bite. She hadn’t even met a female lead yet, and she couldn’t uselessly increase the number of girls. So, it would be right for her to move on even if she regrets it this time. I swallowed the bitterness and fulfilled my role as a doctor. All I have to do now is be a good person. To that end, I started acting as an ‘intellectual in action’.

“I heard that skilled knights can fight even if they starve for days and days.”

“Well, that’s not wrong.”

“I learned that it is the principle of burning mana and using the accumulated heat in her body.”

“What… It’s roughly the same.”

“I think Masha used the same method.”

“… It’s okay.”

“As expected, is that so?”

“Sorry… “

“Ha… Marsha, why are you so oblivious?”

“A knight who has completed sufficient growth would not have collapsed from malnutrition. But isn’t Masha still growing up? Her body needs different calories, but she recklessly rolled her body… No wonder she fell.”

“… “

“First of all, you need to start with a simple meal and replenish your body with nutrients.”

“Did you hear? So stop talking and eat first.”

“But Serpin-sama.”

“Yes?”

“Serpin-sama is also responsible for Masha-sama’s collapse.”

“Ha?”

“Isn’t Serpin-sama Marsha-sama’s superior?”

Blaming Serpin here was an act that narrowly crossed the line. It’s just a commoner pointing it out to a higher-ranking aristocrat. She said, no matter how much the doctor is, Masha was hurt because of you, and even if she was beaten for rudeness, she had nothing to say.

However… Now I am a broad-minded intellectual.

Even if I was beaten up, I had to say the right thing to be able to create an image.

“This is mismanagement. Seeing you collapse like this, you must have starved for at least a week… Not realizing that means that Serpin-sama also has a problem.”

“… Ha, are you saying it’s my fault now?”

“It sounds like both sides are at fault. It’s nothing else, it’s malnutrition. It must have been straining your body a few days ago. A cold sweat, a pale face, trembling hands and feet, if you hadn’t been there… Serpin made a mistake.”

“… “

“If you are a junior you cherish, you should have taken care of him more. Trust and neglect are two different things.”

“… Ha, is that so?”

“And… It’s not that Marsha-sama did a good job.”

“Oh… “

“If you’re a knight, isn’t it absolutely necessary to know how to protect yourself?”

“… “

“In the East, there is a saying that the ruler is the ruler and the kingdom is peace.”

“Can, receive… What?”

“It means that a person who knows how to protect himself can protect his family, his country, and even the world. Think about it. Can a person who does not know how to protect himself be able to protect this country and His Majesty? To collapse from malnutrition is to disqualify a knight.”

“… !”

“In the East, there is a saying that overpayment is not paid. Excess is the same as deficiency. I’m not sure why you pushed yourself so hard… Be careful. It’s never too late to grow slowly. Isn’t Masha still young?”

“”… “”

“… Great.”

When I finished talking, both of them fell sharply quiet. Both Serpin and Masha had expressions of thought. Is this the power of images? If he had been an ordinary commoner, he would have been imprisoned for blasphemy… It was rewarding to act while being beaten by Sirius. No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look like I would end up in prison right now.

“But… However, if you don’t become strong as quickly as possible, you won’t be able to learn the Reinrich Circle! This year is your last chance… I don’t want to give up after failing to do anything!”

“Masha, you!”

However… Looking at it now, there was something I didn’t know about.

“Sirpin!”

“Ha… Talk about that next time It’s not something to talk about in front of other people.”

“… All right.”

If it’s the Reinrich Circle… Is that it?

The mana practice method I heard before coming here. In exchange for giving up the pregnancy… A somewhat sadistic synthesis method that gains power to match. I can see why the relationship between the two is subtly misaligned. In a way, Serpin, who gave up being a woman, probably didn’t want to teach me. As I guessed her situation, I was silent, and she spoke to me with a slightly tired expression.

“Thank you.”

“… Yes?”

“Perhaps… Maybe you subconsciously turned away from this child. I shouldn’t have neglected you like you said… Whoa, we should take this opportunity to talk properly.”

“… That’s a good idea.”

“Sir Pin… “

“So Masha. Let her recover first.”

“All right!”

Hmmm, did it work out nicely? To be honest, I thought I was going to get hit by a few… Serpin was unexpectedly generous in this regard. A knight’s grandiosity, what is it? Even if it sounds presumptuous, there was a boldness that accepted it without hesitation if it was a reasonable story. After all, girl crush. That’s why I like these characters. Relieved, I resumed my work as a doctor.

“Then Masha. Let me recommend a diet that will help you recover calories.”

“Oh, thank you?”

“Oh no! Sorry… “

Then, without realizing it, I did what I was doing to Iris.

Marsha looked at me with a slightly puzzled look, and Serpin looked at me with a very curious look. Hurrying up, I lowered my head to the two of them. I’m not even close with you, but you stroked my hair… I did well, but I made a mistake at the end.

Haha, isn’t our Masha cute?”

“That is… “

How did you build the image… Does it fly like this? I was blaming myself for my frustration, but I heard urgent footsteps from far away. And soon after, the door burst open, and Herman, who had been out volunteering with me, appeared.

“Lu, Ruin-nim! It’s a big deal! Miss… Miss!”

He cried out in a serious voice.

“… Mr. Herman?”

“Iris-sama has collapsed!”

“I beg your pardon?!”

Oh, Iris fell down?

Surprised, I hurriedly stood up from my seat. The atmosphere didn’t seem to lie. Then she’s really down… Why? Why? I couldn’t figure out why… Now was not the time to stand still. I hurriedly apologized and left the room with Hermann. Thanks to you, I committed disrespect once more… It didn’t matter.

Now, the priority was to treat Iris.

Dirk Ruin was a man with a lot to learn. At least Masha Rune thought so. Ruin taught himself by using difficult words he had never heard before. Hearing his point that she should cherish herself first, Masha admired in her heart.

Because it was the first such opinion.

She was always taught to be loyal… Loyalty isn’t everything.

It was a rude remark in a way, but it wasn’t wrong. How can you trust a cook who has food poisoning? Ruin’s point was reasonable, and thanks to this, Masha reflected on herself. She was still immature.

‘Isn’t Marsha-sama still young?’

But even so, her Ruin didn’t blame her. Rather, her Ruin comforted her. Luin, who patted her head with her caring voice. Born as the child of her concubine and raised alone in the Knights Templar, she was the first warm affection she received.

Of course, Serpin was the only one who cared about her…

It was the first time I felt so warm. It was as if I had discovered the ‘fatherhood’ that I had always been curious about. If only I had a father… Wouldn’t it have comforted you like this? A thought I do not know. Looking at her empty seat in Ruin who left her, she felt regret.

She should have said thank you… I was heartbroken because I couldn’t do that.

“This… I should go too.”

“… Would it be okay?”

“Iris? Umm… It will be fine. He’s a braver boy than he looks.”

“No, Mr. Luin. Her own patient collapsed.”

“Ah, was that what you were talking about? Well, if it was the old Sirius, I don’t know… Well. Wouldn’t it be now?”

“… Is that so.”

“Anyway, I’ll tell the kids below, so you eat and lie down.”

“All right.”

“Then I go.”

As if she was concerned, Serpin packed her things and she left for Lehi Narga. Masha, who was left alone, worried about the safety of her Ruin. She was known for her bad temper, the Sirius she knew. Of course, she’s changed recently, but… Her sister has collapsed, can she keep her composure? It bothered me in many ways.

– Jumped

“Masha! You said you fell down!”

But then, her guest came to her.

“What is this slender face! Are you hungry again?! That’s why I said you should chew three meals a day! The article is malnourished… Anyway! It’s a problem!”

Chloe Yates, a friend of hers, whom she had just met, came over and worried about her.

“Chloe? How is it… “

“I heard from Hans!”

“… Did he tell you about me?”

“I asked you to tell me if something happened to you!”

“… Okay? No, more than that… How did you know?”

“Huh? What?”

“Malnutrition.”

“What? What are you talking about! You know it just by looking at it! How can you not know when you are so drawn!”

It was like that from the first time we met. Chloe was a strange woman. She didn’t know anything Should I say she has good eyes? She was able to get to know her thanks to that… I felt fear today. Even a doctor called a genius found out about malnutrition after taking his pulse… That she recognizes it with just one look? Marsha felt an unfamiliar feeling.

“By the way, Marsha.”

“Yes?”

“I was coming in and two men just ran out.”

“Ah… “

“Do you know who it is?”

“With a doctor named Dirk Ruin… I don’t know the name, but the other one must be from the Rehinar family. I heard something urgent happened there.”

“Doctor? … Aha, he must have been a doctor… “

“Why? What happened?”

“No, just… I was curious because it was the first time that I couldn’t see anything… “

“What?”

“Hehe, nothing. Did you eat more than that? Shall I cook for you?”

Chloe stroking Masha with a broad smile as if it was nothing special. At the sight Masha let out a sigh and then changed her mind. Although a bit odd, she was a good friend. If so, you should skip the minor details. For no reason she could not doubt her first friend.
