Chapter 38

Alcohol Next Time

Weird rumors about me started circulating.

“Hello, senior. Um···. Sorry, but could you prick my friend’s hand a bit? I heard you prick extremely refreshingly well···.”

“Are you Kang Bong-sik? Don’t know if you know but I’m 1 year senior than you? Sorry but can you prick the hand a bit? Drank yesterday but the stomach still seems bloated.”

“Hey, I heard you prick hands that well? Isn’t that illegal medical act? What? Get lost before I stab with the needle? Isn’t it too much between same years?”

“Hello. Even if I take medicine the indigestion doesn’t go down so, may I request a bit?”

Only pricked Jang Hye-rim and that friend’s hand at school, but it was rumored as an indigestion relief expert.

Rejected all.

It’s a good opportunity to raise ‘Bloodletting’ skill proficiency, but if dealing with several unknown people the possibility of problems arising is large.

“Sorry.”

Student cafeteria.

Jang Hye-rim apologized to me.

“At that time that kid said the effect was really good in the group chat. Something heat also rising and dizziness also cleanly gone. I also told a few close people, so it seems the rumor spread like that.”

“······.”

“Because that kid said your style is okay, it also seems the story spread more excitedly.”

“···Really?”

“Look at this bastard Kang Bong-sik smiling. You man, didn’t you say you don’t want to meet a person from the same school? But why do you like it?”

“That and this are different, man.”

At Park Jae-yoon’s words Jang Hye-rim looked at me with puzzled eyes.

“Why not a person from the same school? Because you don’t like every single action shared?”

“That is also burdensome.”

Actually until a while ago, I also just thought it would be good if a girlfriend appeared.

But becoming the ‘Plague Doctor’ and coming to school, the thought that at least mustn’t meet a person from the same school arose.

Because leveling up becomes hard.

“Seems like can’t concentrate on studying too.”

“I see···.”

“What, Jang Hye-rim? Regrettable?”

“Park Jae-yoon. You from a while ago leading people that way, is it fun? Shall I vomit once more in front?”

“Ugh, go away!”

I also made a disgusted expression.

“While eating that kind of talk.”

“Park Jae-yoon started the quarrel first?”

Jang Hye-rim saying she’s busy as a graduating class, waved her hand and went away as soon as finishing the meal.

“That kid is 100% interested in you. I guarantee. Hey, but really not going to MT?”

“I said not going.”

“Then tell me to go with a same year I’m not close with? A guy called friend not even helping at times like this.”

“What help. You’re also an adult. Do it yourself a bit.”

When just entered as a 1st year unknowingly ‘It’s MT, wow!’ foolishly gulped alcohol and spent time swept along.

But looking back now again···.

No confidence to play like that again.

The fact that playing pour and drink as a group doesn’t match my temperament well I know now too.

And since I’m on the strong side with alcohol, naturally becoming the cleanup person is obvious.

“Heartless guy. Later if I get a girlfriend, don’t cry saying lonely alone.”

“Yeah, please make it like that.”

“Hey, but did you watch baseball yesterday? Red Phantom Jang Deok-il, not a joke?”

While coming out of the cafeteria Park Jae-yoon chattered about the professional baseball that opened a few days ago.

“When the article that he was absent from training because of catching the flu came out, really got cursed a lot how the player managed his body. Completely vigorous. Black Wolves couldn’t show strength.”

“······.”

I apologized to our team Black Wolves inwardly.

Sorry.

It seems my fault.

The thing Jang Deok-il said he wants to send game tickets, it seems good that I politely declined.

If actually saw the stomach would have been more upset from the sorry heart···.

“I’m going to do the assignment.”

“Yeah.”

I parted with Park Jae-yoon and headed to the library.

Time flowed quickly.

Diligently finishing personal assignments and group assignments given like missions one by one, prepared for the midterm exam soon approaching.

Also did certificate study and English study.

Weekday daily life was roughly like this.

School, home, walking Arong, gym once every two days, assignment and study then sleep.

Also didn’t forget to treat and stack experience whenever [Contagious Disease Patient] was visible.

“···Hmm.”

Before knowing April.

I sat on the gym equipment and lightly rotated the shoulders.

Becoming level 12, it was definitely felt that physical ability improved. Even if running longer, faster than before don’t get tired easily.

Still if exercising stress is also relieved and a refreshed feeling arises, mustn’t quit.

Things like fat burning also don’t seem to happen automatically.

What game was it before.

There was a game where no matter how high the character level, obesity had to be managed separately.

Ding.

While having random thoughts and going to the treadmill, a DM came from Lee Mun-yeong.

-[Hello, Plague Doctor-nim!]

-[I know it’s midterm exam period these days···. Are you busy?]

Replied happily.

Now no different from my business partner.

[Hello. Ordinarily free.]

-[ㅎㅎ]

-[Do you remember Lawyer Kim Young-geon last time? Lawyer Kim Young-geon requested a treatment prayer.]

Subsequent continued DM.

“······.”

I smiled brightly, and entered the shower room not the treadmill.

***

The newlywed home of a large law firm lawyer was more ordinary than thought. Except a large wedding photo frame hanging, one wall surface was full of books.

“Thank you for coming this far, cough, thank you···. I sent my wife to her parents’ house worried she might catch it. Cough, cough.”

And the dying newlywed lawyer.

Wanting to attend an important trial tomorrow and also having a lot of work to process urgently, no matter how much IV and taking medicine the body condition doesn’t improve at all so requested help from me.

[Please lie comfortably.]

“Thank you···.”

Kim Young-geon lay on the sofa with a wobbling gesture.

I stood a bit away, made the sign of the cross and clasped both hands.

[This is a Contagious Disease Patient. Do you wish to treat?]

[(Estimated MP cost 80)]

When focusing on the [Contagious Disease Patient] text floating above Kim Young-geon’s head, the border slightly darkened.

Mutter.

“Treat, yes.”

About 1m away distance. The voice muttered inside the bird-beak would be hard to reach him.

[System]

-Used ‘Plague Treatment’.

-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +1

-Experience +3.46%

[MP 86/150]

The eyes of Kim Young-geon who was looking at the ceiling with a blank face became clear.

“Huh···.”

Then abruptly.

Like Jang Deok-il did he touched his forehead and cheek, raised his head and took a big breath then raised his body.

“What Grandmother Bok-seon said··· was this kind of feeling. Exactly like magic. How on earth···.”

Flip.

I rolled up the sketchbook and showed the prepared ment.

[It’s thanks to heaven responding.]

“Really thank you. Then may I change clothes for a moment and come? When sick I didn’t know, but since the nose is clear my smell is a bit··· severe.”

Lee Mun-yeong who was watching from afar nodded.

“Yes.”

Kim Young-geon quickly changed clothes and came out to the living room again.

“First congratulations on the marriage. How is Grandmother Park Bok-seon? Is she well?”

Lee Mun-yeong asked the delayed greeting instead.

“Yes. Still at the nursing hospital, but safely attended my wedding, and also did Seoul sightseeing and left.”

A family photo next to the large wedding photo frame.

Grandmother Park Bok-seon neatly dressed in hanbok was also sitting. To the point of believing even if his own grandmother, an extremely kind looking appearance.

“And often speaks to me about the ‘stylish lion-nim’. Seemed like a really good person.”

Embarrassing.

At that time received the promised fee 3 million won, even bonus 1 million won more.

“Fortunate that she seems well.”

Lee Mun-yeong smiled and opened the document bag.

“Is that the contract?”

“Yes. And 10 million won.”

Kim Young-geon received the money envelope, held the pen and signed the contract.

The reason we rather give money to Kim Young-geon is separate.

“I’ll transfer immediately.”

“Thank you.”

In exchange for doing the treatment prayer for him today, having him deposit 10 million won among the cash I have as if consulting advisory fee.

Sorting 10 million won like a normal transaction.

Ding.

“Yes, confirmed. Thank you.”

“Me too thank you. Just in time I needed cash without a name tag.”

Scratch scratch.

[Even though a lawyer?]

Kim Young-geon nodded with an embarrassed face.

“Yes. Often times when needed arise.”

And he returned 2 million won to me.

Originally the request fee he presented to Lee Mun-yeong.

“With this it seems too free treatment received···. I’ll give as meaning please take good care next time too.”

Aiyu, what all this kind of thing.

I didn’t decline and politely received with both hands.

After leaving Kim Young-geon’s house, rode Lee Mun-yeong’s car and moved.

“Actually when contact came from Lawyer Kim Young-geon today, I suspected a bit. Whether trying to directly confirm the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim’s ability, and use.”

“······.”

“So when calling I subtly probed, Lawyer Kim Young-geon said that. Colds or the flu, commonly can catch and can also treat, but isn’t it dangerous depending on the person and situation. Like Grandmother Park Bok-seon’s case.”

I nodded.

A while ago Jang Deok-il’s pregnant wife, the fetus also almost became extremely dangerous.

“How dare touch a person who can cleanly cure such a disease, he said. Saying don’t know when the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim’s help will become desperate again.”

Right, right.

“By the way.”

When I continuously nodded, Lee Mun-yeong quietly laughed then asked me.

“Really no need for baseball game tickets? This year professional baseball interest is high, so unless pre-reservation hard to get I heard.”

“······.”

I gently closed my mouth.

Wearing the bird-beak mask so won’t be visible but.

“‘Plague Doctor’-nim?”

“···Not Red Phantom.”

I hesitated then timidly muttered.

“Black Wolves···.”

A few weeks since saying to Father I’ll get Black Wolves weekend game tickets.

Diligently clicking madly, but only failing madly repeating.

“Ah.”

Lee Mun-yeong was quick-witted. Let out a short exclamation, then immediately burst into laughter.

“You were a Black Wolves fan. No wonder.”

“······.”

“Ahem. But what to do? The team Kanggeon Pharmaceutical officially sponsors is also Red Phantom, so can only get tickets there.”

“I’m fine. Anyway because it’s exam period···.”

“Next time when Black Wolves game reservation opens, I’ll also try clicking hard.”

“Thank you.”

Returned home.

I put my thumb on the mini safe installed under the desk.

Beep.

The safe opened, and money bundles fully piled inside greeted me. Put the 2 million won back there.

Click.

Having prepared the safe the heart is much more comfortable.

The locked desk drawer if determined to open can smash and open, but the safe is hard for that.

“Kang Bong-sik. What’s that under your desk? Is it a safe?”

Changing clothes, preparing to walk Arong and coming out Sister asked.

“Yeah.”

“Why did you buy a safe? What’s there to put there?”

“Hyun-seo.”

Father who was watching TV intervened.

“Don’t ask men that kind of thing carelessly. Everyone has one secret hobby they want to hide···.”

“Dad creepy.”

“Father, saying like that is not helping at all.”

“What did you put in the safe?”

Mother also asked with a puzzled face.

I answered with a serious face.

“Philosopher’s stone.”

“······.”

“Kang Bong-sik because of exam period seems crazy, Mom. Just leave him.”

“Yeah.”

“Arong let’s go for a walk.”

Bark!

A few days later.

The hated midterm exam ended.

“Kang Bong-sik! Alcohol!”

Park Jae-yoon shouted.

The guy in the end went to MT and also couldn’t make a girlfriend.

I nodded.

“Call.”

“Me too, senior!”

“I also want to go!”

Two female students nearby raised their hands and said.

The corners of Park Jae-yoon’s mouth rose.

Ding.

At that time Lee Mun-yeong’s DM that came.

-[Hello, Plague Doctor-nim! It seems the exam ended around now so contacting.]

-[Sudden but.]

-[Tomorrow is Saturday. Shall we go on a Japan business trip once more?]

-[2 million, expenses separate payment.]

-[The requester is a member of idol group IAB.]

“Did you guys hear that?”

I put the phone in the pocket.

Now gradually getting warmer, smiled while taking off the mask that felt stuffy.

IAB.

The ones worshipped as goddesses when in the military.

“I heard day trip to Japan is trending these days.”

“Suddenly?”

“Let’s drink alcohol next time. Bye.”

I excitedly left the lecture room.

Hehe.

Going to see IAB.

Ding.

-[Like last time if you pray with the wall in between it’s fine^^]

“······.”

Can’t see.

Our goddesses.

Sad.
