I Will Make You Better
‘Our ‘Plague Doctor’-nim, will really contact?’
Lee Mun-yeong smiled and put down the phone.
A post discovered while looking around whether more posts similar to the one shown to Kang Bong-sik came up on SNS.
The one who uploaded the post, an environment office official under Dokdo jurisdiction.
Not an institution but a personal account.
‘Extremely curious how came to pay attention to the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim, but no connections that way so can’t secretly look into either.’
If this person noticed the mouse eradication ability and contacted, and Kang Bong-sik decides to respond to that···.
How should I support.
When briefly closing eyes and lost in thought.
Buzz.
“······!”
Lee Mun-yeong composed her voice and received the ringing phone.
“Yes, representative.”
If previously would have been annoyed inwardly why calling again on Friday night, then received.
But last January.
After greatly helping so could secure shares from Japan’s Hashimoto Kichiro, the representative didn’t treat Lee Mun-yeong lightly like before.
Didn’t contact as much as possible outside work hours, and also didn’t pass private errands.
When saying if not permitting concurrent employment will submit resignation, also gave approval without words.
Hashimoto Kichiro who regarded the current Kanggeon Pharmaceutical representative unfavorably saying ‘You have a long way to follow Father’.
Since he immediately changed his mind after meeting Lee Mun-yeong separately, it was natural.
Because the existence of the ‘Plague Doctor’ who helped her behind was a secret only Hashimoto father and son and secretary, Lee Mun-yeong knew.
‘Ah. Should include that cult monk then too? But that person doesn’t know who I am.’
Anyway the representative calling at this time means, that much an important matter.
“···Yes, understood. I’ll prepare.”
Lee Mun-yeong hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh. And took out the carrier and black suit from the closet.
A little earlier, Hashimoto Kichiro passed away.
Due to the chronic illness long held.
‘To the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim··· let’s inform later.’
***
Hashimoto Kichiro’s funeral was held.
Hashimoto Kichiro’s eldest son, Hashimoto Kenichi politely welcomed numerous mourners.
[Busy but sincerely thank you for coming.]
Among the mourners there were also Korea’s Kanggeon Pharmaceutical representative and secretary Lee Mun-yeong.
Beside the Kanggeon Pharmaceutical representative calmly conveying consolation, Lee Mun-yeong also quietly bowed her head.
A short while later.
Hashimoto Kenichi found Lee Mun-yeong.
[Can we talk a bit?]
Lee Mun-yeong received permission from the representative, then moved seats with him.
[Is the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim doing well?]
[Yes. The former Hashimoto chairman···.]
[As known, due to the chronic illness originally held. You rather said thanks to the ‘Plague Doctor’-nim more days to live were given, so desiring more than that is ugly greed.]
[Yes···.]
Lee Mun-yeong let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
The cult monk who came to the Hashimoto family last time and chattered curse or something. Because the one who called him was Hashimoto Kenichi.
In the end worried inwardly whether suspecting Father passed because of the ‘Plague Doctor’ and even forcing.
[Still pondered whether to contact several times. With the heart of grasping even a straw. If that person could cure Father’s chronic illness earlier, all would have healed then.]
[Chairman. The ‘Plague Doctor’-nim’s treatment prayer is really not treatment. With pure prayer···.]
Hashimoto Kenichi smiled.
[Yes, there was a mistake in the expression briefly. Because it was an extremely amazing matter.]
He said Hashimoto Kichiro often recalled the moment the ‘Plague Doctor’ blew away the cult monk and burst into laughter.
[A story worth chattering excitedly even going to the afterlife.]
Lee Mun-yeong quietly smiled.
The expression of the cult monk who flew away with the ‘Plague Doctor’s’ light gesture was ridiculous even thinking now.
[Mun-yeong. From now on is it okay if I also request prayer?]
Lee Mun-yeong nodded.
[Yes. If keeping the secret well from now on too. But can be rejected according to the prayer target or situation. Even more if judged there is room for problems in that person’s safety.]
[Yes, I’ll keep in mind.]
Lee Mun-yeong conveyed simple consolation then returned to the representative.
After coming out of the funeral hall.
The Kanggeon Pharmaceutical representative who continuously examined Lee Mun-yeong opened his mouth.
“Mun-yeong, isn’t it time to inform gradually now? How persuaded the former Hashimoto Kichiro chairman.”
“Just persistently persuaded until listening.”
“Seems not only simply that···. That, is the concurrent employment going well?”
“Yes. Also refreshing and seems good. By the way.”
Lee Mun-yeong changed the topic.
“The thing said last time. Consulted with the CSR department and legal team but···.”
“Hmm.”
The Kanggeon Pharmaceutical representative also didn’t ask more.
If asking more persistently the momentum of throwing the resignation coolly.
‘Mun-yeong is a beauty, but not that succeeded in persuasion with looks. Not that kind of style either. Anyway an already well resolved matter, can’t make a well-working employee leave just to fill one curiosity.’
He recalled the appearance of Lee Mun-yeong talking separately with Hashimoto Kenichi a little earlier.
‘Also to continue a friendly relationship with the Hashimoto family.’
The golden leaf Kang Na-ra also warned like this.
「Dad. Not treating Mun-yeong unnie carelessly at the company right? Don’t. If tormenting Mun-yeong unnie I’ll get angry.」
The Jeong representative met a while ago, also subtly seemed to covet Lee Mun-yeong.
Saying seems to work well.
‘Don’t know why a person largely doing amusement park and resort, hotel business is targeting a pharmaceutical company secretary.’
“Representative, are you listening?”
“Yeah, hmm. Listening.”
***
I was lost in worry.
“Arong, what should I do.”
While looking at the SNS post looking for me.
Lee Mun-yeong said the person who uploaded the post is an environment office official under Dokdo jurisdiction.
For what reason looking for me.
Hard to notice that because of me the mice ran and fell into the water and died.
So rather more curious.
Shall I send a DM with a new account?
“Bong-sik, not going there today?”
“Yes, trying to go now.”
Today is Saturday.
The day doing volunteer work at the local children’s center.
“I’ll be back.”
I changed clothes and left the house.
A short while later, local children’s center.
“Hello, teacher!”
“Hello!”
“Hello, hello!”
“Hello···. Cough.”
“······.”
Kids who welcomed gladly like last week or only nodded shyly.
[Contagious Disease Patient (30)]
[Contagious Disease Patient (10)]
Among them there were also patients.
I treated from [Contagious Disease Patient (10)] while pretending to exchange greetings actively.
If the kid whose symptoms were severe cleanly heals as soon as I come it would be strange.
Mutter.
“Treat, yes.”
[System]
-Used ‘Plague Treatment’.
-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.1
-Experience +0.34%
[MP 200/210]
“But, Bong-sik teacher. What are you doing after class later?”
“Can’t you buy us tteokbokki?”
“Yeah, no.”
Before doing volunteer work here, the center social worker informed the precautions that must be kept.
Among them the most important, maintaining distance with the kids.
Said don’t get close privately.
Not only exchanging contacts, but also meeting separately outside or buying something is not allowed.
Said can give a sense of incongruity, also asked not to wear expensive items as much as possible.
“The teacher who came before bought. Cheap.”
“Hahaha.”
Instead I’m treating the contagious diseases?
You don’t know that fact at all.
After class ended.
Came out of the center, and stood at a distance where the target mark of [Contagious Disease Patient (30)] is barely maintained.
From a little earlier sitting powerlessly and only reading books, so will hit.
“Treat, yes.”
A warm colored heat haze flying slowly.
Suddenly.
Park Jae-yoon blocked in front of the heat haze.
“You went playing alone again? Huh? That too this time to Dokdo.”
The heat haze passed Park Jae-yoon without problem and continued flying.
“I also wanted to fish on Ulleungdo.”
“Just go and do.”
“Hey, if going alone it’s boring. Do you have a separate appointment today?”
[System]
-‘Plague Treatment’ sloppy aim failed.
[MP 190/210]
What?
The [Contagious Disease Patient] kid is still still. Because Park Jae-yoon intervened midway?
Doesn’t seem the orbit twisted.
“Why?”
“Why. Yu Ji-han came and said help him a bit? No particular words to you?”
“None.”
“Did you make him feel wronged?”
“No such thing. Move, so I can call.”
“What calling even saying move.”
Park Jae-yoon grumbled but opened the distance.
“Treat, yes.”
Muttered small and threw ‘Plague Treatment’ again, and called Yu Ji-han.
-[Heard from Park Jae-yoon···. Yeah, you also come···. When coming also buy something delicious and cat snacks a bit···.]
“Why is the voice that shape.”
-[Hahaha···.]
Yu Ji-han said will know when meeting and hung up the phone.
[System]
-‘Plague Treatment’ hit.
-‘Plague Treatment’ proficiency +0.3
-Experience +1.01%
[MP 160/210]
In the meantime ‘Plague Treatment’ hit, and small experience came in.
“Today was trying to play with Arong.”
“Then wouldn’t it do if taking Arong too?”
“Arong finds it hard riding the car for several hours throughout.”
Ding.
Lee Mun-yeong sent a DM.
I gestured and chased away Park Jae-yoon trying to approach again.
“Really, who is the contact this time so hiding so tightly?”
I who saw the DM gently closed my mouth.
“······.”
It was the content that the first requester in Japan Hashimoto grandfather passed away last night from a chronic illness.
Thanks to that person’s request first knew the relation between ‘False One’ and ‘Divine Punishment’ skill, and even the herb tea effect.
“Why is the expression serious?”
“Said a person who owed a favor previously passed away.”
“Ah···. I pray for the deceased’s rest.”
Heart wants to go condole too but···.
Later if going to Japan again, then have to go visit the grave at least.
“Have to stop by home before going to Yu Ji-han.”
“Yeah.”
Park Jae-yoon nodded then followed me.
“Don’t you also have things to prepare going home? Let’s meet later.”
“Just going with the body is fine, what more needed? Anyway all at their house. If needed buy on the way.”
“That’s right.”
I forcedly raised the mood trying to sink, and called Mother.
“I’ll go to Yu Ji-han’s house and come tomorrow.”
-[Yeah, understood.]
Ended the short call and opened the car door.
“······.”
“What are you doing? Not riding?”
Park Jae-yoon was making a sullen expression full of disappointment.
“Said stopping by your house so briefly excited. Han-na said that? Your sister really pretty···.”
Smack.
Seems no need to hear more, so as soon as getting in the driver’s seat closed the door and started the engine.
Park Jae-yoon hastily turned the hood and got in the passenger seat.
On the way going to Yu Ji-han’s countryside house, stopped by the mart and bought full of razors and toothbrushes, meat and alcohol, ice cream and cat snacks.
***
Yu Ji-han’s house.
“Came···.”
“Hiiik···.”
“······.”
Me and Park Jae-yoon stiffened as soon as crossing the gate.
“No···. What are all these cats?”
Park Jae-yoon was surprised at the number of cats on the wall and yard, roof here and there, and I was surprised at the number floating above Yu Ji-han’s head.
[Contagious Disease Patient (100)]
Yu Ji-han smiled dazedly with blurry eyes.
“Should have listened to the truck grandfather and Kang Bong-sik’s words···. Cough, cough···.”
If making better at once that will be regarded strange.
Have to go somewhere and reduce MP a bit and come.
The point that ‘Plague Treatment’ skill can’t adjust the amount of MP consumed is inconvenient.
Before that for now.
“Park Jae-yoon, wear a mask because can transmit the illness from Yu Ji-han.”
“Hey, I have a bit of fever but···.”
“You stop talking. Virus spreads.”
“Heartless bastard···.”
Yeah.
This heartless bastard will make you better.
