Chapter 52

I Treated

By any chance in the world 1327 years later, something like a zombie virus ‘plague’ is spreading?

Otherwise does it make sense to do bloodletting with a knife and axe too?

No matter how much the ‘Plague Doctor’ said took the motif from the historical plague doctor, people’s common sense wouldn’t return to the past.

“Anyway have to record.”

Executed the phone memo app.

[Title: ☆Must read for descendants 1300 years later☆]

A memo recording information about the ‘Plague Doctor’ and the system.

Additionally wrote the 2 achievements achieved today and the guess just made.

[···Having a regular patient finding function is also strange. Why on earth have to track patients?]

Whether this shabby memo will help descendants don’t know.

Buzz.

A call came from Sister.

“Yeah. Why.”

-[Hey, Kang Bong-sik. What about our Arong?]

At the serious voice the heart sank with a thud.

“Why? Why Arong?”

-[Suddenly followers increased a lot···! The clothes you bought in Japan. Filmed photos matching the style in a matching background, and also filmed videos and uploaded modestly? But···!]

Click.

What again.

Thought a really big matter arose.

Buzz.

Sister sent a message.

-[Why hanging up while talking. Want to die?]

Lightly ignored Sister’s message, and confirmed Arong’s Instagram account. Really followers increased enormously.

Our Arong, has tremendously more popularity than hyung.

Cute so natural but.

If later kidnapped what to do?

At that moment an absurd thought arose.

Treated Arong once.

If only gently pricking with a needle 6 times, wouldn’t Arong’s location also be tracked?

I immediately shook my head.

No.

Our small cute Arong, where is there a place to prick.

And when experimenting ‘Bloodletting’ skill dozens of times on octopus, both achievements ‘Why do you keep getting sick’ and ‘We only draw really bad ones’ didn’t appear.

Because the target is not a person so didn’t appear.

Or the system judged not a patient who saw blood for treatment purpose.

“Just attach a location tracker and stop.”

Another memo came into view.

[Experience 96.5%]

[Plague proficiency 37.2]

‘Plague Doctor’ character level 15 achievement is not far.

MP also fully filled to 200.

Meow, meow.

Nyaa.

I stroked the cats pretending to be close to me.

“Is there another sick guy among your friends?”

Meow.

In this neighborhood [Contagious Disease Patient] was no longer visible.

Then another method to raise experience.

[System]

-Equipped a stick.

-Can use skill ‘Divine Punishment’.

It was when going to the restaurant last time and splitting firewood.

Injected MP 5 and split firewood with the cane, experience increased a bit over 1%.

Compared to the ‘Plague Treatment’ skill the experience supply efficiency is high, but because have to hit something usually a method that can’t be used well.

“In passing to sober up more, have to go level up.”

Just in case might meet a cat who caught a contagious disease again, so also packed cat snacks and left Yu Ji-han’s house.

Several cats followed closely.

The place arrived was below a small mountain briefly looked around while walking yesterday.

Trees had grown lushly.

Loitered looking for thick tree trunks etc. fallen on the ground.

“Oh, discovered a suitable one.”

Broken during a typhoon?

A tree of similar thickness to firewood was broken and rotting.

“Sorry, tree-nim. Please become my experience.”

Could also hit a fine tree with ‘Divine Punishment’ skill, but if doing that nuisance to the birds or squirrels living on that tree.

[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]

Flap flap.

A squirrel carrying a bright red [Mouse] was seen fleeing in confusion.

“······.”

Yeah.

Already caused a nuisance.

Sorry, squirrel.

At that time.

The cats who followed me uniformly lowered their bodies and twitched their butts then.

Tat!

Started chasing the squirrel.

“Hey, where are you guys going! Don’t chase, you gangster-like guys!”

I also hastily followed and stopped. But while careful not to trip on pebbles or tree roots and fall, the distance instantly widened.

[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]

[Natural Enemy Relationship Activated]

In the meantime other [Mouse] also fled, and the cats hopped more excitedly.

“I’ll give snacks, snacks!”

I hastily took out one snack and tore the wrapper.

“Churu came~.”

Only then the cats hesitated and stopped.

“···Phew.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

But that too briefly.

“······?”

The cats’ state was strange.

If stopped smelling the snack sound and smell, should return to me right away normally···.

Stiffened focusing somewhere.

As if struck by lightning all the body’s fur stood stiff, and muttered a low cry as if full of fear.

Waoo···.

The ears of the cats slowly backing up flattened backward.

“Why are you guys···. ······!”

Thud.

I threw the snack on the ground and focused ahead.

Strength entered the hand holding the cane.

A wind gently blowing.

The stench often smelled during military service days was faintly mixed.

Naturally a curse popped out.

“This shit···.”

Growl, purr···.

Between the lushly grown trees, a pitch-black huge wild boar slowly revealed its appearance.

Wasn’t that nocturnal?

Not that dark, and not entered deep but why of all.

“You guys quickly run···.”

Flap flap!

When the wild boar approached a bit more, the cats quickly climbed nearby trees.

Waoook···.

“Uh, if only I run it will do.”

Already a situation where gazes met.

I slowly moved sideways so as not to stimulate the guy.

“Activate ‘Divine Punishment’.”

In preparation for an emergency also activated the skill, and using the tree as cover safely···.

Crack!

The wild boar started charging without notice.

I quickly avoided behind the tree.

Crash!

The wild boar unable to endure its weight and speed, only stopped after passing the place I was by a lot. Charged at me again, and I avoided a bit more leisurely.

Got scared for nothing.

If before awakening maybe, the current me is in a state where stamina and muscle strength, agility etc. are superior to ordinary people.

But if only continuing to avoid like this there won’t be an end.

Purr, growl···.

The wild boar exhaled breath full of excitement, then charged again.

“You attacked first?”

I focused on the charging wild boar, then narrowly avoided to the side and quickly struck the cane down.

The bluish cane containing MP touched the wild boar’s back.

Thud!

Kweeeek···!

The wild boar screamed piercingly and staggered.

···Thud.

“Auu, bitter.”

Like when striking the pot lid with a branch last time the shock was also transmitted to my wrist. Still fortunately the cane didn’t break.

Growl, kukk···.

The wild boar made rough breathing sounds and struggled to get up. Whether the hit place extremely painful trembling, looks at me.

Gently raised the cane.

“Want to charge again?”

Purr···.

The wild boar made even rougher breathing sounds then avoided the gaze. And barely got up and staggered and ran away.

“Phew···.”

I let out a sigh of relief, and examined the system log.

[System]

-‘Divine Punishment’ proficiency +4

-Experience +9.6%

-Level up!

[MP 210/210]

Proficiency and experience rose double compared to when splitting firewood.

Like when dealing with the stalker person.

I shook my wrist and picked up the cat snack dropped.

Fought the wild boar, the feeling the alcohol component remaining in the body all flew away.

“Let’s go, loyalty-less cat bastards.”

Meow.

As if what matter was there, the cats came down from the trees.

Yu Ji-han’s house.

Yu Ji-han was sitting on the wooden platform just taking off boots.

“Where did you go and come?”

“Fought a wild boar and came.”

“With that magic cane?”

“Fought with magic.”

“Still not sobered?”

As expected Yu Ji-han didn’t believe. The guy sighed and shook his head.

“You go in the evening. If driving the car now it’s drunk driving.”

***

What obtained by achieving level 15 was not only MP.

[Contagious Disease Patient (20)]

“Huh?”

Late afternoon.

On the way returning to Seoul driving the car.

Briefly stopped by a rest area to buy coffee, the estimated MP cost appeared side by side on the [Contagious Disease Patient] text far away.

Previously had to approach close and raise the hand for the number to be visible.

Even when ‘Sloppy Treatment’ use times remained, only within a radius of over 10 meters visible together with the target mark.

“Oh···.”

Now the treatment estimated MP cost is brightly visible even from far, so in situations where have to select and treat patients it seems convenient.

Whether such matters will often be don’t know.

“Hello. One iced americano please.”

Paid at the cafe then briefly turned my body.

A man floating [Contagious Disease Patient (30)] above his head passed beside me.

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

“······?!”

I opened both eyes wide and blinked.

Even without raising the hand the system window appeared.

By any chance.

After opening a distance of about 1m, focused on [Contagious Disease Patient (30)] and muttered.

Both hands lowered down.

“Treat, yes?”

A warm colored heat haze flowed from my hand, and was absorbed by the [Contagious Disease Patient].

[System]

-Used ‘Plague Treatment’.

-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.3

-Experience +1.01%

[MP 180/210]

Now no need to raise the hand when using ‘Plague Treatment’ skill!

Good. Because of this always had to pretend to scratch the back of the neck or touch the head, or lay the [Contagious Disease Patient] down.

At this point, another expectation also arose.

By any chance even saying the skill command out loud···?

“Iced americano came out.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I received the coffee and headed near another [Contagious Disease Patient (15)].

Earnestly shouted the ‘Plague Treatment’ skill command in my heart.

Treat, yes.

Treat, yess!

Let’s treat!

Pla! Gue! Treat! Ment! Yap!

······.

Doesn’t work.

Aey.

Sighed and muttered.

“Treat, yes.”

My voice was lightly buried in the trot music sound heard from somewhere.

[System]

-Used ‘Plague Treatment’.

-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.2

-Experience +0.6%

[MP 165/210]

Still like this level up convenience improved a bit, someday the thing of having to say the skill command out loud will also improve right?

Believe so.

When returning home the sunset had set.

“Arong.”

Bark! Bark!

Arong welcomed me with an excited face.

“Don’t jump with two feet, get hurt.”

Bark!

“Mother and Father?”

Asked Sister sitting on the sofa. Sister was somehow in a made-up state.

“Said will come in a bit late. Meal?”

“Not yet. Going out somewhere?”

“Went out and just came in now. ···Hey, Kang Bong-sik.”

Sister followed into my room.

“You know.”

Making a voice more affectionate than usual.

“I have no money.”

“No, earlier some person sent a DM, wants to sponsor clothes to Arong. Said if only filming a few photos and uploading.”

I tilted my head.

“Still not to the point sponsorship comes in? Not a scammer?”

“That’s why, when meeting you also go together.”

“Enough. Why receive that kind of thing? Just said only boasting Arong cute?”

“Still lending pretty clothes for free···.”

I firmly said.

“Kang Hyun-seo, Arong fashion show prohibited for one week.”

Sister puffed both cheeks and gently glared at me.

“······.”

“What. If dissatisfied Sister also buy full of Arong’s clothes and snacks.”

“Let’s see, Kang Bong-sik. This time definitely get employed at a good company!”

“Repay the gifts received from me first.”

“Will repay! Me being cheap.”

“Anyway don’t be tempted by sponsorship or something. Rather if there’s something needed tell me. I’ll buy.”

Sister grumbled and went out.

“Understood.”

That night.

To walk Arong, stood in front of the elevator holding.

Hwaaaang.

“······?”

From below a faint baby cry was heard.

Lowering my head, [Contagious Disease Patient (80)] was visible together with the target mark.

80 is a considerably sick number.

Anyway today MP also remains, shall I treat?

Vertical so aim failure also doesn’t seem to appear.

“Treat, yes?”

A warm colored heat haze that flowed from my hand slid down and entered.

Ding dong.

Just in time the elevator arrived and the door opened.

The system log came up, when the elevator door opened on the 3rd floor.

[System]

-‘Plague Treatment’ hit.

-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.7

-Experience +2.69%

[MP 113/210]

A woman holding a baby boarded the elevator with a face almost about to cry. Also in a state with a cast on the leg, so I pressed the open button tightly.

“Don’t cry, baby. Mom is sorry···. Endure a bit more···.”

Seems taking the baby to the hospital urgently because sick.

The gaze met with the small sniffling baby.

“······.”

“······.”

The baby was opening eyes wide with a face looking extremely vigorous.

Uh···.

Baby, seems like don’t have to take to the hospital.

I treated···.
