08-10 Medical Treatment

Mine was seriously injured and on the verge of death . To begin with, Jin used healing magic .
“[Cure] . ”
Anyhow, it looked like there wasn’t a moment to waste . It was good that the knife stuck in her abdomen hadn’t come out . If it had come out in the river, there would’ve probably been major bleeding due to the added water pressure .
“[Cure] . ”
Jin gave first-aid by piling up healing magic .
He confirmed that Mine was still breathing and,
“Is there a doctor…A healer around this area?”
He asked the curious onlookers that had gathered .
“There’s a place a bit downtown from here . ”
One of them said, and,
“Excuse me, but could someone go over there and call that person to help?”
Jin then said, but,
“Oh, I’ve got errands to do though . ”
“I’ve got to be home soon .
“I can’t . ”
And so forth, everyone said, leaving Jin by himself . Actually, just the middle-aged woman who had told Jin about the healer’s location stayed behind .
“What a heartless bunch…”
Jin muttered and,


“That was to be expected . From the start, the people living on this street are a mixed bag, you see . ”
The woman said .
“But more importantly, we ought to take out this knife . ”
As soon as she said that, she pulled out the knife in one go .
“!”
It must’ve been painful, as Mine who was thought to be unconscious spasmed a little .
“What are you–!”
“[Heal] . ”
But without a moment’s delay the woman chanted Shouro Empire-style healing magic, keeping bleeding at its minimum .
“If you let something long like that stay in for a long time, it becomes unremovable, you see . ”
This was because the muscle tissue would twine around it and stick to it .
“You are?”
Jin was impressed by her skills .
“Oh, I’m that healer, Sally Milsson . ”
It turned out that luckily the healer had been among the onlookers .
“But this is a problem . It’ll be tough carrying this wounded fellow with just the two of us . Tough mainly in the sense that it’ll impact her health . ”
“Leave it to me . …Reiko, go over there for a bit and call ‘Elm’ and ‘Ash’ of the SP here . ”
“Yes . ”
As 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 .
“Sister, you called?”


At first, the SP also called Jin ‘Father’ and Reiko ‘Elder Sister’, but while on duty they had been made sure to call Jin ‘Chief’ and Reiko ‘Sister’ . This was one of Jin’s strange ideas .
“Please act according to Father’s instructions for the time being . Thank you for your hard trouble . ”
“Yes, Sister . ”
Then Reiko came back along with Elm and Ash .
“Good work . Elm and Ash, please carefully lift her up and carry her . For the destination, just follow us . ”
“Yes, Chief . ”
Sally Milsson was surprised seeing the two golems obeying Jin’s orders .
“You’re terrific, huh . Having two golems as fine as these . But it’s a big help . Well then, please raise her gently . ”
Elm and Ash put their hands under Mine’s unmoving body and carefully lifted her . It was imperative that they carry her while maintaining as much as possible a posture that didn’t affect the wound in her abdomen .

“That’s right, now follow me please . ”
Following 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 .
“It’s to the right of that corner . Ah, there, see . ”
Sally’s healing clinic was a tree minutes’ walk away from the riverbank . On the small door ‘Milsson Healing Clinic’ was written .
“Yes yes, go over there and lay her down, mh-hm, that’ll do . ”
They laid Mine down on the examination table and Sally immediately started her medical exam .
“Bones broken in the right wrist and arm, huh . The stomach wound is…Hey you, step out for a moment . ”
She was about to take off Mine’s clothes when her hands stopped, and she advised Jin .
“Ah, yes . ”
Jin escaped along with Reiko to the neighboring room that was similar to a preparation room . Then,
“Reiko, try contacting Laozi . See if he can detect Elsa’s whereabouts . ”


“Yes, understood . ”
For a while Reiko was silent, contacting Hourai Island with her internal ManaCom .
Then after about two minutes .
“Got it . There appears to be two similar responses . One is in Ikasanaato . The other is in a location 20 kilometers upstream of River Torres . ”
After hearing that, Jin made a guess .
“Hm . 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 . ”
At that moment he heard Sally call him from the other room . Jin quickly returned to the treatment room .
“What’s wrong?”
Sally was standing there with a grim look on her face .
“It’s critical . I removed the knife . Closed the wound . Expelled the water she breathed in . Healed the fractures too . However…”
Jin took a look at Mine’s 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 didn’t have surgical techniques wounds in internal organs were fatal .
“At this rate…She’s in danger . ”
Sally had an extremely sad expression on her . As expected, not being able to save a patient must bitter .
“If only there was… Restorative medicine…”
“Restorative medicine?”
“Yeah . But drink-type medicine is highly expensive . Alchemists in themselves are scarce, so it can’t be helped, but if only we could have her drink some of that there would be a chance . ”
Jin 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 .
“What are her chances if recovery if she stays like this?”
Jin asked, just in case . After thinking about it for a little while, Sally replied,
“Not even one in ten . More precisely, at this rate if she doesn’t return to consciousness she’s as good as gone . ”
Jin stopped worrying and took the restorative medicine out of his pocket .
“There’s something like a restorative medicine in here, but I don’t know how effective it is . ”
He said honestly and,
“Let me see . ”
He handed it to Sally, who then seemed to study it in various ways . Finally,
“[Analyse] . ”
She used analysis magic . Because this magic couldn’t analyze things one had no understanding of it would be pointless for Jin to use, but in the case of Sally,
“Y-you! Where did you get this!?”
She excitedly moved closer to press Jin for an answer . Jin assessed the situation and,
“Is it effective? If that’s the case then leave that talk for later, please use it!”
He said . Being told that, Sally blushed a little and nodded .
“R-right . It’s as you say . I’ll do it at once . ”
She said, poured about a third of the contents into a feeding cup, and held it to Mine’s mouth .
“Please drink it…”
About 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 Mine’s pulse from her wrist too and,
“Mh-hm, it seems she’s no longer in danger . ”
She said and breathed a sigh of relief .
