Mine was seriously injured and on the verge of death. To begin with, Jin used healing magic.â[Cure].âAnyhow, it looked like there wasnât a moment to waste. It was good that the knife stuck in her abdomen hadnât come out. If it had come out in the river, there wouldâve probably been major bleeding due to the added water pressure.â[Cure].âJin gave first-aid by piling up healing magic.He confirmed that Mine was still breathing and,âIs there a doctorâŚA healer around this area?âHe asked the curious onlookers that had gathered.âThereâs a place a bit downtown from here.âOne of them said, and,âExcuse me, but could someone go over there and call that person to help?âJin then said, but,âOh, Iâve got errands to do though.ââIâve got to be home soon.âI canât.âAnd so forth, everyone said, leaving Jin by himself. Actually, just the middle-aged woman who had told Jin about the healerâs location stayed behind.âWhat a heartless bunchâŚâJin muttered and,âThat was to be expected. From the start, the people living on this street are a mixed bag, you see.âThe woman said.âBut more importantly, we ought to take out this knife.âAs soon as she said that, she pulled out the knife in one go.
It mustâve been painful, as Mine who was thought to be unconscious spasmed a little.âWhat are youâ!ââ[Heal].âBut without a momentâs delay the woman chanted Shouro Empire-style healing magic, keeping bleeding at its minimum.âIf you let something long like that stay in for a long time, it becomes unremovable, you see.âThis was because the muscle tissue would twine around it and stick to it.âYou are?âJin was impressed by her skills.âOh, Iâm that healer, Sally Milsson.âIt turned out that luckily the healer had been among the onlookers.âBut this is a problem. Itâll be tough carrying this wounded fellow with just the two of us. Tough mainly in the sense that itâll impact her health.ââLeave it to me. âŚReiko, go over there for a bit and call âElmâ and âAshâ of the SP here.ââYes.âAs removing [Stealth] here would be too suspicious, the invisible Reiko gave a short reply and went behind a tree growing on the riverbed where she summoned Elm and Ash.âSister, you called?âAt first, the SP also called Jin âFatherâ and Reiko âElder Sisterâ, but while on duty they had been made sure to call Jin âChiefâ and Reiko âSisterâ. This was one of Jinâs strange ideas.âPlease act according to Fatherâs instructions for the time being. Thank you for your hard trouble.ââYes, Sister.âThen Reiko came back along with Elm and Ash.âGood work. Elm and Ash, please carefully lift her up and carry her. For the destination, just follow us.ââYes, Chief.âSally Milsson was surprised seeing the two golems obeying Jinâs orders.âYouâre terrific, huh. Having two golems as fine as these. But itâs a big help. Well then, please raise her gently.âElm and Ash put their hands under Mineâs unmoving body and carefully lifted her. It was imperative that they carry her while maintaining as much as possible a posture that didnât affect the wound in her abdomen.âThatâs right, now follow me please.âFollowing Sally they crossed the riverbank into downtown. Although Elm and Ash could be said to be unusual, in a town where plenty of golems were used daily they did not catch many gazes from the passers-by.âItâs to the right of that corner. Ah, there, see.âSallyâs healing clinic was a tree minutesâ walk away from the riverbank. On the small door âMilsson Healing Clinicâ was written.âYes yes, go over there and lay her down, mh-hm, thatâll do.âThey laid Mine down on the examination table and Sally immediately started her medical exam.âBones broken in the right wrist and arm, huh. The stomach wound isâŚHey you, step out for a moment.âShe was about to take off Mineâs clothes when her hands stopped, and she advised Jin.âAh, yes.âJin escaped along with Reiko to the neighboring room that was similar to a preparation room. Then,âReiko, try contacting Laozi. See if he can detect Elsaâs whereabouts.ââYes, understood.âFor a while Reiko was silent, contacting Hourai Island with her internal ManaCom.Then after about two minutes.âGot it. There appears to be two similar responses. One is in Ikasanaato. The other is in a location 20 kilometers upstream of River Torres.âAfter hearing that, Jin made a guess.âHm. The reaction in Ikasanaato is most likely the dagger that was left behind. So in that case, the other reaction would appear to be Elsa.âAt that moment he heard Sally call him from the other room. Jin quickly returned to the treatment room.âWhatâs wrong?âSally was standing there with a grim look on her face.âItâs critical. I removed the knife. Closed the wound. Expelled the water she breathed in. Healed the fractures too. HoweverâŚâJin took a look at Mineâs face. It was a bloodless white. Jin guessed that most likely the knife wound reached her internal organs. He had heard that because the liver, the spleen, and such had high concentrations of blood vessels, stopping bleeding there was difficult.Jin judged that to be the case from the lessons about on-site first-aid which he had once taken during his time as a factory worker. Probably in this world that didnât have surgical techniques wounds in internal organs were fatal.âAt this rateâŚSheâs in danger.âSally had an extremely sad expression on her. As expected, not being able to save a patient must bitter.âIf only there was⌠Restorative medicineâŚââRestorative medicine?ââYeah. But drink-type medicine is highly expensive. Alchemists in themselves are scarce, so it canât be helped, but if only we could have her drink some of that there would be a chance.âJin had the experimental restorative medicine in his pocket. But it was still a trial product, and without making human experiments it would forever stay that way.âWhat are her chances if recovery if she stays like this?âJin asked, just in case. After thinking about it for a little while, Sally replied,âNot even one in ten. More precisely, at this rate if she doesnât return to consciousness sheâs as good as gone.âJin stopped worrying and took the restorative medicine out of his pocket.âThereâs something like a restorative medicine in here, but I donât know how effective it is.âHe said honestly and,âLet me see.âHe handed it to Sally, who then seemed to study it in various ways. Finally,â[Analyse].âShe used analysis magic. Because this magic couldnât analyze things one had no understanding of it would be pointless for Jin to use, but in the case of Sally,âY-you! Where did you get this!?âShe excitedly moved closer to press Jin for an answer. Jin assessed the situation and,âIs it effective? If thatâs the case then leave that talk for later, please use it!âHe said. Being told that, Sally blushed a little and nodded.âR-right. Itâs as you say. Iâll do it at once.âShe said, poured about a third of the contents into a feeding cup, and held it to Mineâs mouth.âPlease drink itâŚâAbout half of the liquid in the cup was spilled, but somehow she was able to have her drink the other half.Doing so, the result was dramatic.A red tinge appeared in her once-white face, and her disordered breath turned back to normal.Sally examined Mineâs pulse from her wrist too and,âMh-hm, it seems sheâs no longer in danger.âShe said and breathed a sigh of relief.
