Chapter 11 More Than I Expected...
"Doing things like this, there may come a time when it becomes dangerous."
"Yes?"
"When I see things like this, it's no good. In the past, I couldn't do anything, but now there are things I can do. Since I can do it, I can't just watch silently."
"...Tatsuma-san. Are you, by any chance..."
"You're perceptive. It's just that my Healing Attribute level is displayed as low, but it's not actually low."
"S-So, what does that mean?"
"For now, it would be helpful if you don't worry about it. Well then, let's at least remove the pain for now. 'Recover'... How is it?"
"Yes. The pain has eased a little."
"Just a little, huh. In that case, 'Middle Recover' (intermediate recovery spell). How is it?"
"...Yes. I feel much better. Normally, I'm bothered by the color and even the slightest touch to my fingertips causes some pain, so I wore gloves. Every morning and night, when I take a bath or drink alcohol, it hurts so much that tears come out. The pain subsides a little when my fingertips get a little cold, but when I get into bed and warm up, the pain becomes noticeable again. But, it feels strange somehow."
That must have been quite painful. She must has good tolerance. I can't believe it, really.
"Alright. Oh, here, won't it look suspicious if we stay here for too long?"
"That's true..."
"Well then, how about coming to my place after work? It's okay..."
"So, it's not like 'let's eat it', right?"
"Hahaha, you have a good sense. I really appreciate it."
"It's a common phrase used when someone forcefully approaches you at a drinking party. But I believe you."
"It's a secret, but I found out yesterday that there's a treatment. You'll be the second person after Julianna-san. But your condition is severe. Anyway, I can't bear to see it, so make sure you come, okay? "
"Yes. Thank you."
I'm shedding tears. I can really understand how tough it was.
"Don't cry. The pain will go away for a while from tomorrow, or rather, tonight. But you can't say for sure that it won't recur. Oso (Dreadful element) itself won't disappear... "
"Then, can I come tonight?"
"Yes. Please help me find a job tomorrow. If the pain returns by tonight, let me know the symptoms. But it's okay. This darkness will disappear."
"Yes."
Today, I just made a card that will serve as my registration card. Anyway, it looks like Oso poison is a more serious situation than I thought. Some people, like Julienne-san, hide it with gloves. It's probably been accumulated since childhood, and it's been a lot of hard times.

At night, there was a knock on the door. When I opened it slightly and peered in, I saw Seteas-san. He looks like he's having a lot of fun.
"Soutome-sama, you had a good time tonight, didn't you?"
"When do you mean 'tonight'? You know what I mean, right?"
"Ahahaha, I'm just kidding. The guests are here. I'm so jealous of all the beautiful people. You handsome man."
"Hey, it's work."
"Of course I know."
"I wonder..."
"Well then, but please——"
"Yes, yes. 'Please be careful as we do not allow shady things.' I understand."
"Thank you for your understanding. Now, please excuse me."
"I wonder..."
As Julienne-san entered, she passed by Seteas-san. "Wow, you're wearing casual clothes," he remarked. "Yes, you have a good sense of style even in casual attire," she replied. "He's right, there's no doubt she's a beautiful woman."
"Excuse me, is it alright?"
"Yeah, that's just how Seteas-san at the reception always is."
"But, isn't that person is the successor of this inn?"
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm not lying"
"Well, never mind about Seteas-san. Now, please come in"
"Yes, excuse me."
She closed the door behind her with her hands behind her back. It must be a habit, probably.
"Oh, it's just a habit of mine..."
"Hahaha. Please have a seat."
"Thank you. So, about this... is it really going to be cured?"
Of course. She has never heard of anyone being cured before. There probably aren't any rumors either.
"Don't worry. It will take some time though. It's a question of whether my mana runs out quickly or you heal quickly. It's uncertain, but I might be the highest level Healing Attribute user in this country"
"Is that true?"
"I've never compared with anyone, so I don't know for sure. But probably, a lot of people in this country are suffering from Oso Poison. Suppose they could get treatment for free at the church..."
"Yes?"
"Rather than just panicking, I think the mana would be depleted every day, and riots would occur, like 'Why won't you heal us when you can?' That's probably why the threshold for donations is high, because there's no guarantee of a cure. Or maybe it's not like that. Maybe, starting with His Majesty the King, the fingertips of the princess and the nobles are also turning black. .. I want to believe that, but I can't confirm it. Anyway, can you take off your gloves and show me your hands?"
"Yes, right away."
It's warm, huh? Yeah, yeah. It's amazing that I can hold the hand of such a beautiful lady. In the other world, I can only do that at places like bars where people have to pay.
"By the way, how's the pain?"
"Yes. Thanks to you, I'm fine for now."
"That's good to hear. Well, it might take some time, but are you okay?"
"Yes. I'm still single and living alone, so..."
"Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I meant that it's the same meaning in the sense that you might be worried."
I turn Julienne-san's palms upward and place my hands underneath hers. This way, I can see the discoloration on her fingertips.
I chant "Display Self-Status" in my head. I bring up a screen in front of me and display the remaining amount of mana. The work will involve keeping an eye on it while it's displayed. If it runs out, there's nothing I can do. Collapsing is not an option. It's not cool at all.
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
