Chapter 13 How Much Can You Do In One Day
The day after treating Julienne-san. When I woke up, I was staring blankly at the "Display Self-Status" screen.
"Huh? What's this? 24... huh?"
The Healing Attribute level had become 24. In hexadecimal, that's 24, which is 36 in decimal. How much did it increase in just one day from 32 to 36? I'm surprised, but at the same time, I feel happy. Maybe it's because I'm a gamer.
But this is not a game world, it's reality. Having a mindset that is too far from the reality in front of me is too dangerous. I must not forget that my money is steadily decreasing.
In the royal castle, luckily, I only managed to get some small change like a severance pay. There won't be another chance. As for accommodation expenses, I have no choice, but for other expenses, I have to save as much as possible until I start receiving regular income.
I opened my inventory and tapped on the skewers and water. Then, in my right hand, appeared a warm, freshly grilled skewer. In my left hand, a plain ceramic tube filled with cold water appeared.
"Wow, even though it's been two days, it's just like when I bought it... *chew chew* Mmm, delicious. The water is cold too. It's too good..."
The skewers were only seasoned with salt and spices. They had a texture similar to pork, not too gamey, and the more you chewed, the more umami flavor came out. They must be using good quality meat. The sinews were properly removed, so there was no need to force myself to swallow. If these were around 200 yen each, I would be satisfied. They might actually be even cheaper.
In the end, I ate five skewers since morning and I'm satisfied. The dried meat like beef jerky looked delicious, but maybe next time. If I keep going out drinking every day, I'll run out of money quickly. I need to buy some alcohol somewhere.
"Good morning. Yesterday was enjoyable, huh?"
Seteas-san, who is always at his own pace in the morning, waves his hand with a wry smile and leaves the key.
"Yes, yes. As promised, good morning. I'm going to the guild for a bit."
"Yes, have a safe trip."
Yesterday, the sun was up before noon, but it wasn't hot. This morning, it's a bit cloudy and feels relatively cool. I'm not sure if it's autumn or spring, but if there's a place further south from here, maybe it's not such a hot area.
I was just forcibly brought here, so I don't have enough information. I'll probably stay in this castle town for a while, so I'll have to learn a lot of things. As I walk, lost in thought, I easily see the red brick mosaic wall.
I was surprised to find an adventurers' guild in this world. It was just like something out of a manga or light novel. Maybe someone who moved from that world spread it here.
When the wind and rain are strong, I'm not sure what will happen, but the entrance here is wide open. It's completely visible when people come in.
And Julienne-san noticed my presence. She greeted me with a smile as if a flower had bloomed. Well, I guess I should at least be grateful, but as someone who's not in a fulfilling relationship, I'm not raising any flags. Don't get the wrong idea, definitely not.
Huh? She's whispering something to the neighboring Liliurage-san. Oh, she went to the back... and now she's coming over here. What? She's beckoning me. Isn't that the direction of the private room?
I follow Julienne-san to the private room. The entrance is open, and I wait in front of the door.
"Good morning, Tatsuma-san."
"Oh, good morning."
So she want me to come in, I understand. With that in mind, I enter the same room where I registered. *Click* goes the sound of the lock. Now I have a situation where no one will overhear us.
I sat on the same chair. Then, Julienne-san, who was sitting across from me, reached out both hands towards me.
"Last night, when I took a bath, it was the same. There was no pain at all, even in my fingertips and toes."
"Mmm, that's good to hear."
"So I'd like to talk to you right away."
"Yeah, did you have a good job?"
Yesterday, during dinner, I asked, "If there is a good job in the guild, please introduce me as a reward for Oso (Dreadful element) poison treatment." It's because having a regular income is more helpful for me than receiving temporary money.
"Um, how many treatments like mine can you do in a day?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Julienne-san talked to me intermittently about things that seemed to be contrary to her welcoming smile. For her, who had finished the treatment, Oso poison was not just a thing of the past.
The difference in the severity of symptoms may vary, but almost everyone working at this guild has been affected by Oso Poison. Her parents, who live apart, and her younger sister seem to be affected as well.
"...I see. If it is in the same state, is it the limit for four people?"
"Four people, you say?"
"Yesterday, I tried doing something a little over the top, but I think that should be fine."
"If that's the case, could you meet the manager over here?"
"Ah, I see. Yeah, if it's someone who understands the concerns I talked to Julienne-san about yesterday, then I'm fine with meeting them."
"Yes. Can you come with me now?"
Saying that, she grips my hand even tighter. It was the same when it was Mesaja-san, but having the opportunity to hold a woman's hand like this feels like a dream.
If there are perks like this, then this otherworldly place isn't so bad. Thinking that, I nod in agreement, and while still holding my hand with one hand, she leaves the room. But like this, we'd end up appearing in public while still holding hands, won't we?
"Um, this is getting a bit..."
"Um, sorry."
Saying that, I let go of her hand and she gently touch her cheek. Julienne-san, you're so cute when you look down with your ears turning bright red. It's an important matter, so I'll say it again, but seriously, you're so adorable...
