The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 7
Only Noblemtl
#7. Black Death (2)
When Mars found out about the condition of my eyes, he was initially skeptical, but after repeated insistence, he eventually carried me to his house.
“Will it be uncomfortable? There’s no need to worry.”
I feel like there was some misunderstanding, but I have no intention of correcting it.
‘Well, you can tell just by looking at them that they aren’t normal eyes.’
If you look at it from far away, you might not notice it, but if you look at it from a little closer, you can immediately feel the sense of incongruity.
“think.”
As the man said, his house was quite close to the inn. After walking for about 30 minutes, he entered a small village near the port.
And the place he headed to was a rather shabby wooden building in the village.
“Amy, are you feeling better? Is it okay for Daddy to come in?”
He let me into the house and knocked on the door. Then I heard a little girl coughing.
“Amy!”
Mars opened the door with a start and went in. Then, the structure of the room came into my sight.
A small desk and a blood-stained bed. On top of it, a girl about my age was coughing miserably.
“Cough, cough! Haa… … .”
I quickly checked the girl’s condition with my eyes.
‘It’s more serious than I thought.’
The skin below his knees and elbows was completely dead. Because he was young, the disease seemed to be progressing quickly.
“Water, drink water quickly. Yes, drink slowly. You’re doing well.”
Mars was desperately trying to feed his daughter water. However, the girl began to cough again as if the water was regurgitating from her throat even after she had drank it.
“Amy!”
This cough was mixed with blood.
It was a severe case of pneumonic plague.
I quickly opened the status window.
[Full Healing: 100,000p]
[Completely heals all physical damage, illnesses, and status abnormalities of others. When healing, you temporarily feel the other person’s pain instead, and cannot heal yourself.]
[Tip. You can obtain special jobs depending on your proficiency.]
A skill worth a whopping 100,000 points.
However, its usefulness is so great that it is a skill I have always coveted.
‘I’m not really happy with the penalty, though….’
Well, even so, if you only have this one skill, acting like a doctor is a piece of cake.
I bought the ‘Full Heal’ skill without delay.
[Purchase completed.]
[Acquire ‘Full Heal’.]
[Tip. Physical contact is recommended for effective healing.]
Okay, we’re ready to go.
I passed Mars and slowly approached the girl.
“you…?”
A girl named Amy didn’t show much fear when she saw a stranger, probably because I looked like I was her age.
I smiled and took Amy’s hand.
“Just wait a minute. I’ll make it pain-free soon.”
“…?”
Amy tilts her head.
Meanwhile, I shouted loudly inwardly.
‘Completely healed!’
Then something amazing happens.
A white light began to pour out from my heart, and soon flowed into Amy’s hand, following hers.
“Huh?”
Mars made a surprised sound. Amy was also looking at me with round eyes like a rabbit.
“what…!”
The light began to heal the girl.
The hands and feet that had been completely blackened and dead regained their original luster. The face that had been drained of life and exhausted became fresh and youthful, like that of a child of that age.
On the contrary, I-
‘Ugh!’
I held back a cough that was about to burst out. My head was spinning and I was getting chills.
My mouth smelled like blood had been refluxed. I chewed the inside of my cheek to muffle my screams of pain.
‘I didn’t say it would hurt this much!’
I figured getting hit by a truck wouldn’t hurt as much as this.
“W, how on earth is this?”
“Dad, I’m not in any pain anymore!”
Amy shouted with her eyes wide open.
“My head and chest hurt so much just now, but now I don’t even have a cough!”
“Ah, ah. Amy…!”
Mars shed tears at the sight of his daughter who had become healthy. It was quite a heartwarming scene to see the man with a wicked look hugging his daughter while rubbing her eyes.
Except I’m sick.
‘Mr. Ha, it hurts so bad.’
I pressed my heart with trembling hands. I straightened my back because I felt like I would faint violently if I let my guard down.
But that didn’t last long.
“Ugh.”
I couldn’t hold back my groans and fell to the floor. Cold sweat was running down my face.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Only then did Mars see me and open his eyes wide as he supported my body. I forced a smile.
“It’s okay. I feel a little dizzy when I use this ability… … .”
I don’t know what kind of expression I’m making right now. I hope it’s not too painful.
Mars’s face looked strange.
He looked at me with an unknown gaze, then knelt down and bowed his head as if he had decided on something.
“I have received your grace, Saint.”
“…yes?”
What? A saint?
[Mars feels deeply grateful to you.]
[Advance points +100]
[Amy feels deeply grateful to you.]
[Advance points +100]
I was panicking and clenched my fist when I saw the ringing status window.
It was truly an accumulation that made the pain fly away in an instant.
‘Do something good for this taste!’
The point is God!
“I apologize for treating you rudely without knowing your majesty! I have nothing, but I will give anything for you, Saintess!”
“Oh, no. You’ve already paid me enough.”
“… Yes? What price do I have to pay… … .”
You gave me 200 points, customer.
But I couldn’t say that, so I salivated and spoke quietly.
“I’m so happy to hear you two happy. That alone is enough for me.”
“How could that be… … .”
He muttered with a blank expression.
Then the status window appeared again.
[I heard the title ‘Saint’.]
[Tip. If more than 100,000 people recognize you as a saint, you can have that profession.]
‘…huh?’
job?
My gaze, which was reading the tips carefully, stopped.
‘A saint’s profession…?’
I don’t know what the meaning of the job is, but it’s a world like a comic book.
That too, with the warrior party as the main characters.
‘Is this a perfect opportunity?’
Of course, to join the main character’s party and have a say, you need to have some special abilities.
‘If she’s a saint, she’s a perfect match for a warrior!’
I was planning to enter the temple and start as an apprentice priest and become friends with the main characters, but if I become a saint, I can skip that annoying process all at once.
After a long time, my head is spinning.
I opened my mouth slowly.
“If you want to give me a fair price, I have a favor to ask.”
“Oh, yes! Just tell me anything! I’ll listen!”
“Are there any patients around here with symptoms similar to Amy’s?”
“Patient… you say?”
He seemed taken aback for a moment, but soon told the story.
“Actually, there is at least one similar patient in every household in the village right now. It seems to be a contagious disease, but the doctors are shaking their heads, saying they don’t know the cause.”
Indeed, it is as expected.
‘Because the Black Death is highly contagious.’
Pneumonic plague is caused by droplet infection, and is a disease that spreads and progresses rapidly.
If it were up to me, I would have been careful because I would have been at risk of getting caught, but-
[Keep clean]
[It does not smell even if you don’t wash it, and it always stays fluffy and fragrant. It is immune to all infectious diseases.]
After checking the status window, I grabbed Mars’ hand with a serious expression.
‘It’s like someone is pushing me on my back to solve my problem.’
There’s nothing we can do about it now that it’s come to this.
“Mars, please take me to where the patients are.”
I must become a chain healer.
