I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 500
Only Noblemtl
Episode 500 Plague [3]
“uh…….”
Since there were some people who felt uneasy, I decided to set an example myself.
It wasn’t something I had intended to use, but anyway, I was able to do it because I had brought something that seemed useful.
“It must be done the Lord’s way!”
Of course, even while rummaging through my bag, I never lost sight of the concept.
I think the Lord must be moved and inspired when he sees me like this.
Just for today, He may forgive our impiety and grant us a miracle.
but…….
Doctors must always operate under the assumption that miracles do not occur.
In the first place, isn’t it true that all learning is destined to regress the moment it starts relying on miracles?
Those things that were left unfinished, the 19th century guys, can do that, but I can’t do that.
“This is what the Lord has made… … .”
I took out the dropper.
It was originally supposed to be made of glass, but there were concerns that it might break during its journey to Japan by ship.
Anyone who has ever been on a boat will know.
The sea is incredibly huge, and the ocean in particular shakes really dirty.
The sea route to the Far East was a little better, as there was no such thing as a dog-eat-dog route across the Atlantic, but it was still quite shaky and no joke.
If you think about it, all the kids at the military academy got seasick and collapsed on the way from Incheon Port to Baengnyeong Island, so it was a delusion to think that everything would be okay coming here from England.
‘It looks really clever because it’s made of iron.’
Anyway, that’s why it was made of iron.
The downside is that you can’t tell how much goes inside…
In fact, even if the dropper is made of glass, the field of view is distorted, so it is impossible to know the exact capacity unless the dotted line is marked.
And for us 19th century people, it probably wouldn’t make much of a difference since we don’t have the technology to make it that precise (in fact, it would be possible to make it, but it would cost a lot of money).
Anyway, I thought for a moment about what to call this, but luckily I was able to think of an appropriate term not too long after.
“It’s a holy water maker!”
“Ugh… … .”
“Is that how it is?”
Liston still hasn’t been actively helping me.
That doesn’t mean I said you shouldn’t do it that way.
This was because we had already done this several times and had actually achieved some positive results.
no…….
Maybe it’s a confusing situation.
It’s not just that my acting skills are improving by leaps and bounds, but that person is much more susceptible to superstitions and supernatural powers than you might think.
I don’t know how you found it, but you even called a shaman.
Chook.
Anyway, I drained the abscess from the dying cow’s boil with a metal dropper.
The animal that smells the most is the cow, but when it was dying, it was really disgusting.
I have a feeling that if I lived near this place, my nose hair would grow thick and long like a Bavarian’s.
It’s not just talk, ENT doctors even publish papers on things like this.
Certainly, compared to trauma surgery, there is nothing to do… … No, is this too much of a criticism?
“after…….”
I dropped the foul-smelling abscess I had collected onto the tip of my tongue.
Since it wasn’t officially cultured, I dropped several drops instead of just one or two.
This is because the placenta is made up of dead viruses and the corpses of white blood cells that died fighting the viruses.
Of course, I didn’t drop too many because there were still live viruses that were dying.
Even if the one who entered the cow showed a weak side towards humans, I said that it wouldn’t be good for them to enter it too much.
Of course, this could also be excused on religious grounds.
“Do not be greedy. We impious and filthy people will not be able to avoid disaster if we become too greedy for the Lord’s holy water!”
Even I think it’s fucking crazy.
But it’s a crap that works.
It’s not my imagination, it’s true.
“Oh… … As expected… … There’s no way Seongsu would just act like that!”
First, the red coats came over.
“Lord, have grace for me too!”
“Yes, pray! If you just get this holy water, you won’t have to worry about smallpox anymore!”
“Wow!”
“Woooooo!”
“I believed you after all!”
Captain Charles was not just a soldier, he was a very educated man and, being the 19th century, he came from a good family.
In a way, it was a natural thing.
They must have heard of my fame since they were in London.
In addition, since I came by boat, I have personally witnessed the miracles that I have performed.
“I’ll give it to you too.”
Eventually, even Liston, who was closest to me, gave in.
He slung the sword he had been holding behind his back and knelt before me.
He may have had some religious thoughts, but most of it was because he was so tall.
But to anyone who looks at it, doesn’t this just mean submission and obedience?
“Ugh… … .”
“It seems like what the author said is true!”
To the samurai, Liston is both respected and feared.
It can’t be helped.
Even if Miyamoto Musashi, who was once renowned as a warrior, were reincarnated, would he be able to display that kind of power?
In my opinion, even if there was a real person called Biheon X Kenryu and he was the master of Himu X Kenshin, it would not be easy for him to defeat Liston.
It’s to the point where it’s comparable to a virtual character.
So, what would Liston look like to the samurai who worshipped swords even in the age of guns?
“Me, me too!”
“Grace to me too!”
“Yaso? You said Yaso? Are you saying that Yaso really exists!”
Besides, Japan is a country that has been open to the world for a long time.
Of course, we did ally ourselves with that heretical country called Portugal.
Do you have any evidence that they are heretics?
The whole country was hit by an earthquake beam on the day of the festival and went to the ground. If that isn’t evidence, then what else is?
In comparison, the God that our British Empire worships seems to be a real one.
So, even if we travel all over the world like this and commit evil deeds, they won’t let us.
‘Come to think of it… … You’re doing well even in the 21st century… … ?’
If there really is such a thing as karma, then the Anglo-Saxons shouldn’t be living so well.
There’s even a meme that says if something strange happens in world history, blame Britain…
Even America is like that.
They always say we pioneered the West, the empty land, the undeveloped land, but was it really empty?
Not only did they not hesitate to say things that would make the natives living there roll over in their graves, they even made many movies and games that glorified that time.
Well, I played and was impressed by Red Dead Redemption 2, but that’s that and this is this.
‘Oh, Lord.’
When I think about it like that, I am convinced that the Lord we believe in is the real Lord.
Otherwise this wouldn’t be possible.
Does it make sense that those who not only exploited the entire world but also waged the Opium Wars are still doing well and even have a good image?
So I cried out to the Lord with even more faith than before, and naturally, all the samurai knelt before me and drank the holy water.
To be honest, it was so bitter, but no one even frowned, let alone spat it out.
It was solemnity itself.
Japanese kids are professionals at creating this kind of atmosphere even when nothing special happens, so they felt much more pious than I expected.
“What is… … what is happening… … .”
“what?”
“Why… … those people.”
As they were doing this, the people who were already in pain and were hiding in the room in fear as the swordsmen came began to come out little by little.
Some of them looked sick, while others still looked okay.
‘The two shouldn’t be mixed.’
The first rule in infectious diseases is isolation, quarantine.
During the coronavirus pandemic, these guys were making a fuss about why they were suppressing my freedom like this. It’s not because they know freedom better, but rather because they didn’t learn what they should have learned in school.
Living on a continent where half of the population was wiped out by the Black Death, they forgot everything and found freedom in less than a thousand years. They are truly amazing.
Well, since they are people whose memories reset so often, they probably live their lives knowing that they are righteous and just.
“Now, get up! Put on your masks! The Lord’s holy water is perfect, but we are not perfect! It will take a long time for the holy water to fully take effect! So be careful!”
While thinking like that, I found myself uttering words that sounded really natural and sorcerous.
Sometimes I wonder if I should have been a cult leader instead of a doctor in my past life.
‘Ah… … No. Even so, he probably died of a brain tumor… … .’
Would it be advantageous for a 21st century cult leader to come to the 19th century to survive?
It could be because they are well-versed in advanced missionary methods, but… … .
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it will be as useful as medical knowledge.
“Now, don’t touch me! Keep the people from gathering with sticks, no, guns and swords! Don’t let any of them gather together until I see them with my own eyes!”
“Hi!”
Anyway, at my command, the loyal redcoats and samurai rushed out.
Then, people who seemed to have come out for no reason started to run away.
I thought it was better.
That’s because the sick people were left behind.
Well, there may be some people who are infected but they are not really something to worry about.
The course of infection can vary from person to person.
Because everyone has different genes.
This is also the reason why there has never been an infectious disease with a 100% fatality rate before.
“Uh huh.”
“uh…….”
Anyway, those who fell behind or fell were knocked apart by my subordinates (including the samurai now) by striking them with their swords or guns instead of their hands.
It wasn’t that difficult.
Because it is a rural area, the building density is low.
At first, I thought these people were all sick.
“older brother.”
“Oh, yes. The Lord’s sword goes.”
So I wondered if it was really necessary to check, but I thought that a doctor should do a physical examination of a patient anyway, so I sent Liston out.
“Eww!”
“Please save me!”
All the patients were begging to be saved.
It was natural.
If a huge white man with a red face and weird hair, running at me with a knife, would make me scream.
“Oh, here we go!”
I didn’t know that Oni would appear, but looking back, Liston really does have the form of an Oni.
At a moment when I wondered if the original Japanese goblin was a white thug, Liston swung his sword wildly, resulting in things that I couldn’t tell were clothes or a hat being cut in half.
“Oh… … This person doesn’t have any lesions. Over there.”
“This person is this way.”
“This guy… … over there.”
I classified the people who exposed their bodies like that using the lands that were so bare that it was hard to tell whether they were fields or wastelands.
Normally, it would be right to isolate patients one by one, but isn’t there a shortage of manpower?
When resources are scarce, flexibility is key.
“Ugh.”
“Oni… … .”
“Calling Oni… … .”
Hearing this over and over again while working made me feel like I was Kibbutz X Muzan.
