Solution to Episode 462

{Well, that’s it for the first information exchange. I’m pretty satisfied, but I wonder what the Legion Commander thinks.}

“… … Me too.”

{I am confident in my research. Besides this, I know more information that the Commander does not know. And… … .}

“I know something you don’t know.”

In that regard.

The guy looked at me with the corner of his mouth twitching.

{As I said, my research has been at a standstill due to the extinction of my collaborators. However… … if only like-minded collaborators could appear, I could find out more in the future.}

and.

The monster guy said as he offered me his rough, huge hand.

{I think so, but I guess we are.}

I looked at the hand for a moment.

With a small bitter smile, he said, holding the hand.

“… … I think we can make a good deal.”

* * *

And after that.

Treatment continued.

The fact that you can exchange information about the guy and the system.

It was encouraging enough though.

Such joint research was something that should have been discussed after the treatment was over.

{Would you like to move your body?}

“Hmm. It’s definitely gotten better.”

But that conversation didn’t change anything.

Until then, I was somewhat wary of him, not only during treatment, but every time I talked to him.

After I realized that the guy had no intention of lying to me.

“thanks.”

{I’m glad there are no problems.}

I was able to proceed with treatment with some comfort.

The conversation between the guy and me had definitely become a bit smoother.

{That’s all for this treatment. It’s been quite a long treatment, but… … I’m almost done with all the treatments I can do. Please bear with me for a little longer.}

“Oh, that’s right.”

That means the treatment is almost finished.

in other words.

“If I just wait a little longer, will my body be completely healed?”

{It’s completely cured.}

I thought it meant that there wasn’t much time left for recovery.

To my words:

The guy shook his head and said.

{It would be a bit difficult to heal the legion commander with my own power right now.}

“… … Is that so?”

I knew my physical condition was serious.

This guy is beyond treatment.

{I’m telling you this just in case, but it’s not because my medical skills are lacking.}

“Oh, really? Then why?”

{To be precise, it would be correct to say that there is a shortage of materials necessary for treatment.}

surely.

The guy has been treating me well so far.

In return, I was asking him to personally airlift the materials needed for my treatment.

Since that guy is not a combat type.

This means that there are difficulties in directly airlifting the materials needed for treatment.

{If they are damaged organs, we can somehow heal them with the materials the commander brought us. However.}

Until now.

But the problem was solved by me bringing the materials.

{It’s not the [Jin-gi] that disappeared.}

“Wow… … .”

In that regard.

I opened my status window and looked at it.

[Penalty]

[Serious aftereffects]

[Loss of True Energy]

After returning from Gyeonggi-do.

At the bottom of my status screen, this phrase was always there.

And now after that guy’s treatment is done.

[Minor aftereffects]

Serious aftereffects.

It had changed into a subtle aftereffect.

The creaking sensations in my body have also largely disappeared.

I guess once the treatment he’s talking about is over, those aftereffects will completely go away.

the other side.

[Loss of True Energy]

“… … .”

The penalty here is.

It remained the same without any changes.

{Once my treatment is over, you won’t feel any inconvenience in your daily life. However, you may still feel inadequate in battle. And… … That’s not an area that a doctor can solve on his own.}

“then?”

{It’s probably closer to what a pharmacist would do.}

chemist.

in other words.

{The solution to that problem is quite simple. Just take something like an elixir that has enough power to restore your lost energy.}

It’s an elixir.

{The Legion Commander’s vessel is… … bigger than the Legion Commander knows. It’s hard for me to believe how a native species can have such a large vessel. And right now, most of the Legion Commander’s large vessel is empty.}

“Hmm.”

{Unfortunately, I don’t have enough elixir to fill the empty space left by the Legion Commander. To be exact, I’ve never had any… … . I’m sorry.}

In that regard.

“Well, I have a conscience too.”

I chuckled and sat up.

“I’m not so shameless as to ask for medicine. I’m just grateful that you’ve helped me get to this state of health.”

{It’s nothing to be thankful for. I also received medical expenses.}

“But isn’t it true that you gave a big discount on the treatment costs?”

{Well… … That’s true. It was just my intention to look good to the commander.}

“Then congratulations, it’s working out as intended.”

{… … haha.}

The monster once again laughs with a mouth-splitting grin.

At first, it was a little… no, really, really uncomfortable.

Now that I know that it’s a smile, it’s kind of fun to watch.

“Then let’s see each other at the next treatment.”

{Have a nice trip.}

I chuckled and left the hospital room.

Okay then.

“… … My benefactor!”

Those waiting outside the hospital room.

The men in charge of my security came towards me, their eyes wide open, out of breath.

“Commander! Are you feeling well?”

“Is the treatment going well? That monster did something strange… … .”

Those guys who check my condition while making all kinds of fuss.

“… … Is this always going to happen? This time, too, it’s fine.”

“Ahh, ahh… …! I’m so, so grateful!”

All the unit members looked extremely relieved.

At first, I thought, “He thinks a lot about me.”

This happens every time I finish treatment, so much so that I’m starting to feel a little uneasy.

{… … It seems like the guardians care a lot about the commander.}

and.

The monster that was watching that scene approached me and spoke to me.

{I understand the guardians’ concerns. However, I am doing my best to treat the patient.}

Explaining something.

A monster that tried to approach me in a friendly manner.

but.

{Don’t worry too much… … .}

“stop!”

What blocked the way was.

Just a moment ago, you were extremely worried about my physical condition… … .

“Don’t come any closer, monster.”

{……hmm.}

Those were the soldiers.

{I didn’t mean to do anything weird.}

“It doesn’t matter what you were planning to do. Now that this treatment is over, I won’t have any more business with the Commander.”

{… … .}

“Even after the treatment is over, it’s a little uncomfortable to be approached like this.”

To the sharp words of those soldiers.

The ‘doctor’ seemed a little embarrassed.

{… … That’s right.}

He then stepped back carefully and said:

{I’m sorry. I think I misunderstood the distance between me and the patient.}

From the guy.

I could feel the resentment he had shown me last time.

* * *

{… … Not only the commander, but his colleagues also seem to be very wary of me.}

When the next treatment is finished.

That’s what the guy said to me.

“… … I’m sorry about that last time. I should have stopped you.”

{No, it’s not something the commander should feel sorry about.}

That’s what they say though.

A guy who still feels regretful.

“If you really care, I’ll give you an order not to be rude to me next time. Since you’re my subordinates, even if you don’t like it, you’ll follow along.”

{… … No. I don’t want that kind of solution.}

I also remembered the guy who was upset because of me last time.

I thought I should respond in my own way.

The guy shook his head and said.

{As I said, I want to build friendly relations with the Legion.}

“That’s right.”

{I am grateful that the commander seems to understand me to some extent, but if the solution is to have the commander order me to be polite… … it will be difficult for my relationships with other members of the legion to improve.}

Well, that’s what it says.

If I tell that guy not to be rude.

Jeong Su-ah and her group will definitely listen to my orders.

But that’s all.

Even if you try not to be rude on the outside.

I guess you still have some animosity towards him inside.

{in fact…….}

The guy looked at me for a moment.

He spoke cautiously, as if he wanted to discuss his worries.

{The commander said so, but so did those I had met and dealt with before. Most of the native species were very wary of me.}

“… … Well, I guess so.”

{I guess so, Rani… … ?}

To my answer that came out without me thinking.

The guy tilted his head and said.

{Are native species originally this alert?}

“… … .”

{They haven’t shown any hostile behavior, yet they are being so cautious.}

and.

I just blankly stared at the guy who said that.

{Ah. Of course, this world is governed by the law of the jungle. I understand being wary of those who may be stronger than you, but… … }

Kreuk… … !

{I don’t understand why you would show such hostility even though we have an established business relationship.}

Kuweeek… … .

{Haa. If I knew the cause of the wariness, I would try to deal with it. To be honest, I feel a little suffocated.}

“… … You really don’t know?”

{hmm?}

The guy’s voice was ringing directly in my mind.

The content of that sound itself is quite rational and reasonable.

It’s easy to accidentally forget, but…

{What does that mean?}

Ugh… … .

The terminal of the guy who heard that… … .

That monster is truly horribly ugly.

It looks like a bizarre combination of all kinds of monsters.

A strange liquid flows from all over his body.

The mouth cannot be opened properly, and saliva mixed with green phlegm continues to flow out.

‘… … .’

I looked at that sight and thought for a moment.

He then sighed and opened his mouth.

“The reason humans are wary of you is… … .”

{Oh, as expected… …! Does the commander know the reason?}

That guy was honest with me, without any lies.

then.

“It’s because you… are ugly.”

me too.

I guess I have to be honest with him.

{……uh?}

The doctor who listened to me.

I took a step back as if shocked by the completely unexpected story.

* * *

{oh my god…….}

Let me tell you the truth.

The ‘doctor’ opened his mouth, full of despair.

{So much hostility was because of my appearance… …?}

“… … Oh, I guess it’s probably true.”

{You may not have seen my true self.}

“I don’t know about you, but the monsters we saw were very ugly.”

{If it’s a monster that the commander saw… … .}

The guy.

He said, pointing to his own body.

{Are you talking about this child?}

“okay.”

{To me… … it looks like a beautiful body created through the culmination of all my research.}

“… … .”

{Oh, of course I admit that there are some parts that are a bit inefficient and unsanitary. But… … She’s not a child who’s directly involved in surgery, and she’s just a child for conversation. I didn’t think the hygiene part was important. No, I don’t even know why I’m making excuses like this in the first place.}

The guy grabbed his head with both hands as if he had a headache.

He spoke in a tone that seemed to say, “I can’t believe it.”

{Isn’t it bad to judge others by their appearance?}

“… … .”

Unable to even refute it.

That was so true.

‘It stings.’

but.

What can I do?

“That’s how humans are. We judge others based on first impressions.”

{I see… … Is this what they call a cultural difference?}

The guy seemed quite taken aback by the completely unexpected news.

But that was only for a moment.

{… … Still, thanks for letting me know.}

“What are you thankful for?”

A guy who expresses his gratitude to me.

“… … You’re not hurt, are you?”

{Huh? No. That’s not true. I was just flustered because I didn’t expect it. This body isn’t mine.}

… … This is the main body.

Where is this guy’s true identity?

I was also a little curious about what it looked like.

{By the way, appearance… … . Appearance.}

and.

When I was wondering about this guy’s true identity.

{Then it might actually be a good thing.}

“huh?”

{I wondered if there was some great reason why he was so wary of me. It must have been such a trivial reason! If so.}

The guy seems to have come to a realization.

Oh my god.

The guy said with a smile of his own.

{I think I might have a solution.}
