Chapter 19 – Stigma Need to Be Recharged Periodically? – One

After burning down everything that would be Cheshire’s private property, we returned. I looked around and walked around.

People occasionally looked at me with curious eyes as I was known as Alice’s fiancée, but the curiosity didn’t last very long.

It was still a barren land, so the interest that could be given to others was not great.

Okay. The wonderfentanil estate will soon be plentiful.

It’s my estate, so it will definitely be like that.

It will make the locals enjoy their daily lives and feel the little happiness every day.

Because that was also something that Elfriede would hate.

When she arrived at Dodo’s clinic, she found that she was taking care of several of her patients in her makeshift building.

The sweat on her forehead suggested how restless she was on the move, but her expression rather told how happy she was now.

“Dodo.”

Called her out

“Ah, Pro, Mr. Florian!”

As soon as he found me, Dodo’s face brightened. She jumped this way and she abruptly lowered her head.

“Thank you. More, thanks to that, I can take care of patients in a good facility.”

“It’s still too early to say thank you. Where is the turtle? I need to talk to the executives.”

“Ah… Don’t be Tyr, that’s what you said.”

The dodo’s eyeballs glanced to her right. As she pursues that gaze, Tyr enters her field of vision.

Mint-colored hair that perfectly captures the color of the shallow sea. The angelic girl was sound asleep in the patient’s bed.

… Yes, this is a patient bed.

Slap-!

“Mush?!”

Tyr, who had been hit on the forehead, jumped to his feet as if he had been electrocuted.

The girl held her forehead and looked around her left and right with her eyes full of resentment, and then she met her eyes with mine.

“What, what is it?”

“I mean. What are you doing now?”

“You decided to keep the break time strictly. I really couldn’t sleep at all, and now I’m barely asleep… !”

Then, next to her, Ellis spoke to me.

“Master, how about making a real patient? Wouldn’t it be okay to lie down here?”

“Who did you learn that idea from?”

“From the master.”

He couldn’t have learned such wicked ideas from me. But again, she wasn’t unhelpful advice.

She is about to accept the offer. Tyr quickly folded the blanket over her bed and placed her pillow neatly on top.

“Sorry.”

The mint-colored girl bowed her head.

It must be the leader’s role to forgive the mistakes of his subordinates. I decided to go ahead with it.

“Good. It’s a meeting from now on.”

The first meeting of El Balom has begun.

◈

East, West, South, North, each in one direction, we sat around a round table.

Inside the makeshift conference room, warm tea was spreading the fragrant aroma.

… In fact, Alice brought her alcohol in the first place, so she asked her back to serve her car.

It was Tyr who seemed most impatient. She broke her silence first.

“I’m working hard, but I can’t help feeling anxious. What do I hate the most?”

“Plastic bag?”

Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard that sea turtles die because of plastic.

“…I feel the worst when a carefully constructed building is destroyed. But now I’ve touched Cheshire. What if they come and destroy the building? Do you have any plans?”

It was for good reason.

If the buildings he built with great care were destroyed in vain, he would not want to build them again. Because it will break again anyway.

“I will only stay in certain places. If someone is looking for me, you just have to be honest and tell me the place.”

Tyr then stretches out her thumb and draws across her neck.

“What if Florian died there? If that happens, we will die after all. To reassure us, don’t be bluffing, and give us the exact history.”

Dodo intervenes from the side.

“I-I don’t think I’m bluffing. Did you expect Florian-nim to beat Tyr? Did he ever think that he would defeat Cheshire’s minions? Anyway, he always exceeds expectations.”

“Okay… Well, even if it’s a bluff, we’re all in the same boat now. I have no choice but to believe, and believing is more comfortable… “

Silence flowing for a while. Eventually Tyr let out a sigh.

“…Yes, there is no answer other than to believe. So, what is the meeting for today?”

“Nothing. I’m just giving you guys one job to do.”

“To do?”

Three people ask me with their eyes wide open. I nodded.

“First of all, Turtle, are you building the buildings you want?”

“When did you build it the way you wanted to build it? If you tell them to build a clinic, they build a clinic.”

“I am not asking what kind of building it is. Have you ever freely designed the exterior of a building? I don’t think there will be.”

Black Jack’s building resembles Elfriede’s personality.

A building with only straight lines that does not allow even the slightest bit of curve, and the color of the outer wall is only black and golden decorations.

Until now, sea turtles would have built buildings while sticking to the rules. Unsurprisingly, he nods his head.

“Design is… I’ve never been free. Never.”

“The reason is?”

“Because he won’t stay still. I never had the desire to die.”

“Good.”

He nodded.

“From now on, no matter what kind of building you build, you should be free to design the exterior. Try everything you want to do.”

“…Why?”

This time, the other side asks why. And the reason was very simple.

“Because I’m going to be quiet unlike anyone else. Do whatever you want to do.”

Tyr’s head tilted to one side, but there was no reason to explain further. This time, my gaze was directed towards Alice and Dodo.

“Dodo, are you from Valhalla Academy? He is also the head of the Department of Healing.”

“Yes, four.”

Head of the Department of Healing at Valhalla Academy. Elise’s eyes widened at those words.

“Now, wait a minute. What is the Department of Healing? How many graduates are you?”

“23 days.”

“Oh, so I don’t know. I am in my 20s.”

“Is it so? Me, I know that That, and that one, would be too bold to say that they graduated.”

A rather cold air flowed between the two.

It was only natural that Dodo hated Alice.

In the Healing Department of Valhalla Academy, Elise is known for having the highest number ever. That’s right, because she applied the learning from the Healing Faculty to make drugs.

Anyway, I ask Dodo.

“It is said that you have the skills to make an antidote for drugs, but why haven’t you made it until now?”

“Because it would cost her life if they were discovered. First of all, I decided that I had to stay alive somehow so that I could take care of the patients a little more.”

“As expected.”

Dodo was also unable to realize his dream because he was worried about the problem of survival.

“So are you. Don’t worry about survival anymore. From now on, you and Ellis will start working on developing a drug cure.”

Eek, while making a sound, Alice and Dodo looked at each other once. And then he shakes his head as if he doesn’t want to die.

Elise gave her barak barak.

“Master! It’s enough for me alone! Since it’s a drug I made, I can make a cure myself!”

“I, I also don’t want to collaborate with Ellis. I don’t want to work with criminals.”

“You don’t commit crimes anymore?”

“Then he is an ex-convict.”

I put the teacup down with a thud, meaning both of them to be quiet.

“I want to respect their opinions, but I can’t. Alice has already been to the Lucht continent.”

“Uh… Why?”

“Do you think Elfriede is an idiot? With the drug you gave me, I’m sure it’s already in the next stage of development. The two of you will have to work together to create that cure.”

Despite explaining the reason in detail, the two growled as they looked at each other.

I can’t. I put the trivi on the round table.

“If you don’t like this decision, anyone can lift this and shoot me.”

Silence passed. Nobody even flinched. I will do this from the beginning

Tyr quietly opened her mouth.

“Now we’ve come to an agreement. All that remains is for Florian to prove his strength. I heard you have stigmata?”

“Why is that?”

“The stigma has to be refilled every time you use the ability. What stigma was that? You said there are stigmata that can only be recharged through sex. Boy, what was that… “

But suddenly, Dodo tore off Tyr.

“Hey, don’t talk about that. For now”

“Why not? No, do you really have stigmata like that? Kid, what was it? It looks like it was a healing stigma… Town! Wow!”

Dodo covered Tyr’s mouth with the palm of his hand.

“Joe, be quiet! A person with the stigma may be closer than you think!”

I shook my head while listening to the conversation between the two. It was a bonus to burst out laughing.

Do you have any stigmata like that? I don’t know who had it, but it’s so pitiful.

“What else… Just shut up I’ll prove it when Cheshire comes.”

Puck!

I didn’t hit Elise stood up and suddenly hit Tyr on the head.

“But is he still out of his mind? What do you want to prove to your master? Less right?”

Tyr tries to protest something with a grievous face, but suddenly tilts his head.

“…But weren’t you two engaged? Come to think of it, why is your title Master?”

Silence flows. The moment I decided to end today’s meeting here.

Clink-!

“Ooh, ooh?!”

“Omg? My window!”

Suddenly, something broke through the window and flew in.

Stone? No, it’s much smaller than that.

“Window! These are the windows I designed! Aagh!”

Rather than feeling a threat to my life in the middle of it, I was thinking that it was fortunate that Tyr’s attention was focused on the window.

I knew it, but I guess I wasn’t sane either. I slowly picked up the object that broke the window.

Coin.

And what is engraved is a cat smiling with its mouth grotesquely torn.

“I will prove it now.”

It looks like Cheshire has just arrived.
