“Long time no see! How’s it been with your new ability?”
“Well, more importantly, who was that boy who was shouting a moment ago?”
“Oh, he’s under an incurable curse. People like him often come here. Last time you came, Kyle, I was preparing a life prognosis for him.”
“Hahaha… it’s not funny.”
“This is a place to smile, you know?”
“How am I supposed to smile then?”
“Anyway, you brought along two girls today. Are you becoming famous?”
The doctor smiled, glancing at Elisa and Yui behind me.
“No, they’re my companions. Since the last consultation didn’t show any curse or debuff, I decided to join their party.”
“Interesting. That’s very good. It’s more meaningful to work with others than to do it alone.”
The doctor smiled contentedly and scratched his chin.
“This time, it seems that there are no skills involved, right?”
“As you can see… it’s my back that’s bothering me.”
“Your back… Kyle, you’re thirty, right? You shouldn’t strain yourself trying to be overly strong.”
As he spoke, the doctor guided me to the bed.
I let myself be led to the bed and agreed to receive several treatments.
“I’m good at these kinds of things, you know? I call myself a doctor who can do it all.”
“Self-proclaimed… is this also a laughing matter?”
From the perspective of the person receiving treatment, there’s nothing funny.
It’s just terrifying.
“Very impressive.”
“Indeed.”
It seems like both girls are quite impressed.
What’s so impressive about this?
This guy called himself that way, there’s no value in it.
“It hurts…!”
I cried out in pain while enduring the treatment.
I slowly got up from the bed and stretched a bit.
Despite my complaints, I feel a little better.
It still hurts, but not enough to immobilize me.
“I really feel better.”
“See? You’re not afraid of coming to the hospital anymore, right?”
The truth is, I’ve always been fearful.”
“Haha. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Laughing, I sat in front of the doctor.
Well, I guess now I just need to receive a hot compress and go back home.
“Kyle-san.”
“Yes, what’s up?”
“If it continues like this, you’ll only have a week left to live, okay?”
“Eh?”
