I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years - I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years chapter 429

Side Story 1: An Old Story Told by Grandmother (3)

[Run away! Teddy!]

[What about the captain!]

[Is this the military number you need to worry about? You have to live too!]

A battlefield filled with defeat.

Isolated unit.

Cold sweat broke out on Teddy’s forehead as he remembered his nightmare. Mary, seeing this, carefully wiped his forehead with a towel soaked in water.

‘What am I doing…’

It would not be wise to bring in a stranger, and the opponent is an armed man. Maria sighed and walked towards the cauldron placed on the fire in the fireplace.

‘This is expensive.’

The herbs she obtained through the herb digging method she learned from her mother were all high-quality herbs that grew deep in the forest, so many of them were expensive. Even if you sell just a handful, you can get enough food for two days.

However, she did not skimp on the herbs and put in plenty of them.

Because her goal was to treat him and send him out as quickly as possible.

She did not like being alone with a man whose name she did not know.

It was not desirable for a woman with only a few means of protecting herself to be with a strong man.

“…It’s not that serious of a wound, so it should take about a month.”

If she were a saint in the empire beyond her forest, she would be able to recover immediately, but it was impossible for her. She checked the condition of her well-cooked medicine and took a scoop and smelled it.

‘…Bitter smell.’

She said that the medicine that was good for the body her was bitter to the mouth her her her, so Maria, holding the medicine that smelled bitter, carefully approached the man and sat down next to her and stirred the medicine with a spoon.

‘How do I feed them?’

Wounds will heal faster if you give them medicine that boosts the body’s recovery, but this medicine must be taken orally. Maria wondered how to give medicine to a man who showed no signs of waking up.

“If you force your jaw open…”

Without hesitation, Maria reached out her hand and placed her palm under the man’s chin. But the man’s jaw did not move easily. The man’s body instinctively activated its defense mechanism due to the sudden action.

“Ugh…”

“…Try to wake up. “Before I force it in.”

‘I have a lot of work to do, but I’m caught up in one patient and I’m like this.’

Maria put the bowl of medicine on her table, sighing over her nursing, which it had been a long time and she didn’t really want to do.

If you can’t eat now anyway, there’s no need to wait by the bed for him to wake up.

‘Once you finish the backlog of work, your consciousness will come back. I can take my medicine a little late, so I’ll finish my work first.’

Dry herbs that need to be dried. Herbs that need to be steamed are steamed. Thin out herbs that are not in good condition.

The daily life of an herbalist is busier than you might think.

Maria began to work busily around her house.

————————-

“Ugh…”

‘…Ceiling?’

The man looked up blankly at the ceiling with blurry eyes and difficulty seeing. Even though he tried to move, he had no strength in his body.

‘Did I survive…’

A battlefield where corpses are scattered like stones on the side of the road.

Declining war situation.

Defeat.

As his brain began to think, past memories began to flood in.

‘I was obviously hurt and ran away to this forest… And found a house… Home… ‘

After continuing to piece together the broken memories one by one, he was able to realize that he had entered the house where he had collapsed.

‘I was lucky.’

If the enemies had chased after me, I would have died without making a move. He felt grateful for the situation itself that allowed him to open his eyes like this.

‘I have to give an example somehow…’

“Ugh… “

“Don’t move. “The wounds are getting worse.”

“…Woman?”

A clear and pure voice, like the chirping of birds announcing the morning, penetrated into the man’s ears. If he were in good health, he would have immediately looked at the owner of the voice, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the strength to do so.

“Then does he look like a man?”

A cold voice.

From her voice her, the man could tell that she did not welcome him.

“Open your mouth.”

The man obeyed her request, opened her mouth and accepted the spoon. When the bitter medicine on the spoon touched his tongue, his expression instantly distorted.

“Don’t spill it. Because it’s an expensive drug.”

The man swallowed the medicine without even knowing whether it was torture or not. I almost wanted to disinfect my mouth with alcohol right now, but there was no way that was possible for the patient.

It took a few minutes for him to forget the bitter taste of her medicine and ask her her question.

“This is…”

“Are you here and not aware of it?”

“…As expected, that’s true. Thank you.”

Despite the harsh response, he smiled and said thank you. After all, isn’t attitude a lifesaver? There was no reason for him to complain as he personally prepared the medicine with herbs and gave it to him.

“…Please leave as soon as your body recovers.”

“I understand.”

He obediently agreed to her words. It wasn’t a good thing for the defeated soldiers to stay at home for a long time. If she were to catch up, being like this would be a nuisance to her.

“…Do you know how long it will take for my body to heal?”

“…It will take about two months.”

‘In two months…Won’t the deaths be processed?’

If they are not found for two months and are treated as dead, it will be a bit of a headache when they return. When his thoughts reached that point, he sighed and looked at the ceiling.

‘What am I thinking about doing now? Once your body is completely healed…’

Whether you return to the unit or run away somewhere and live your own life, it is time to get your body back together first. He decided to take it easy for now.

“…I am Teddy.”

“…It’s Maria Quartz.”

‘Maria Quartz.’

A first and last name that I have never heard before. But for some reason he liked that name.

“Thank you very much.”

“…Take care of yourself.”

With a cold word, Maria turned her back.

——————

“If there is anything I can help you with, I will help you.”

“I’m not fully healed yet, so I guess I should rest.”

Maria, who was thinning the herbs, gave the order to celebrate the guests without even looking back, but Teddy asked again as if he couldn’t do that.

“Even if it’s a simple thing…”

“You don’t need help, so go and rest.”

“It’s because I’m uncomfortable. “I am indebted to you. Shouldn’t I pay you back with my own body?”

Teddy’s voice became desperate. Because he thought he had to do at least something to repay the favor. After hearing his words her her, Maria paused her hand for a moment and lost herself in her thoughts. She answered, pointing to one side of the house with her white little finger.

“I have a broom, so I can sweep the yard…”

“…I will write cleanly!”

Pick up the broom and clean. It was something very familiar to him. When he was still a servant, cleaning was his daily life

As he left the house with the broom, Maria looked behind her and sighed.

“A persistent person…”

‘If I want to send it out, I still have to watch it for about 15 days.’

It was a reluctant nursing job, but you couldn’t pretend you didn’t see a dying person. Maria vowed that when he was ready to go her way, she would not hesitate to pursue him.

… It was my seventh resolution.
