Vol 1 Chapter 9 (2/2)
When scanning with magic just in case, an elongated protrusion was out above the intestines.
「Umm, Syril-san, can you cure it？」
The disheartened seeming mother asks.
「I can certainly cure it. However, it is necessary to cut the stomach to cut out the source of the pain that is attached above the intestines. Your Son’s skin will have to be cut into if it is to be cured.」
「Does the stomach have to be cut？」
「Yes it does. It wont be cured unless I do so. As for the disease your son suffers from, it is like an evil spirit settling down in the intestines. It is useless no matter what I do unless I remove that fiend.」
The mother looks worried and an answer is not returned easily.
By the knowledge of Syril, no concept of surgery exists in the present times.
I can understand that there is some resistance.
「Please return if you do not want the treatment. The next patient is waiting. However, the outcome will be bad if your son’s illness if left alone. Sooner or later the demon that is attached to intestines cause necrosis, at that time, pus and intestinal liquid will flow out into the abdomen, and inflammation will spread to where all of the internal organs are. The pain at that time would make this now seem nonexistent in comparison, the worst case would be death」
In response to my words, the mother’s face turns blue.
「I am not saying it as a threat. I am only advising you. Anyways, if you cannot place your trust in me, it will only be futile here」
Although I seem to be pushy, since I am the only one that is the doctor here, the time for persuasion cannot remain too long. There are people who are still waiting for my help.
「Mother, I want it to be cured, whether I can be healed as it is, I want to bet it on Syril-anchan」
The boy says with brave resolution. Delicate pride is damaged, when entrusting it to Syril-anchan I want to ensure that everything will be alright.
「……Please I request it. Please save my son」
「Aa, Leave it to me」
I transfer him to a simple bed of the tree prepared in the tent by carrying him in my arms.
I want to perform the surgical operation in a sterilized room, but such a thing does not exist anywhere in this world.
Not going to do it in the house, because I do not want to pollute the house of Lucie and me with blood.
In addition, sick people will be coming a lot. Because it would be seriously bad if Lucie catches a disease, thus I look after the patients in the tent.
Then, I will cut through while using a membrane made from internal magical power 《Odo》 to prevent the entirety of the body from moving with the exception of the lower abdomen. Because there is no anesthesia, the other party is operated on while awake. When movement is too violent, my hand may slip and I might end up killing.
「Since it might be scary, close your eyes. It would also be better if you bite on this」
By now having them bite a cloth to prevent them from biting their tongue has become the usual practice.
It is the third person with this, it is bad luck for this fellow.
「This is all that can be done for preparations」
I take a knife from my breast pocket, and the liquor that was used to treat Rick was taken out as well.
After letting the liquor soak into the cloth, I wipe the knife and hands with the cloth to sterilize it.
The boy’s belly is wiped at the same time.
「Mother-san, the child’s stomach will be cut into at this moment. Please look away if it is scary. Can you please do not interfere？ Because it is a matter of life and death if it were to get clumsy」
「Yes, I will be alright desu. I will not avert my eyes, and I will not disturb you」
An extremely courageous person. The mother may become strong for her child.
I turned over the clothes of the boy with my left hand, then stick the knife to the abdomen and cut in 10 cm deep.
Because there is consciousness without anesthesia, the acute pain runs through the body of the boy and makes the body try to convulse but the membrane of internal magical power 《Odo》 does not permit it.
And then, the blood vessel that was damaged was repressed and the blood stopped with magic, and a hand was thrust into the stomach to look for the bowels.
The location of where the inflamed appendix is understood from the scan.
It is quickly found, then I maneuver the hand over the intestines and grab the root of the appendicitis. And then, once the hand is separated from it, after completely suppressing the root by magical power, the long and slender appendicitis that has grown from the intestines is chopped off with a knife.
Because the root is suppressed, blood did not spout.
Quickly, 【Healing】 was cast and the reinforcement of self healing power was restricted to the part that was being touched, the wound that was made to cut off the appendicitis a moment ago was closed off.
And then, after pulling out my hand, the wound is pressured close together and once again 【Healing】 strengthens the self-healing ability.
Without a single wound remaining on the abdomen, nothing appeared to have changed from before the start of the surgery.
「It has ended. Does the stomach still ache？」
「Huh, it doesn’t hurt, Mom it doesn’t hurt at all.」
The boy say up and said joyfully.
I also breathed a sigh of relief after a long absence because of the surgery.
「Thank you very much. You saved my son.」
「It was something that was done for an important village companion. You don’t need to mind it」
「A reward……」
「I just said it to Roelou a little while ago, I do not need to receive it」
「But, I want to convey my thanks by all means」
「There is no need. If it is accepted from one person, I am not going to be able to stop receiving it from the other patients. If it is the case that you are able to afford to give me a gift in thanks, then feed the child something nutritious even if it is only a little. Because if a meal is not taken right away, the condition will weaken considerably. Even though the illness is cured, fully recovering cannot be done here」
「I will not forget this kindness throughout my life」
After the tears collected in her eyes, the woman bowed with the boy and they left with the two of them together.
And now, the surrounding tension rises.
In front of many people was the surprising swiftness of the two people, an illness that shouldn’t have healed no matter what was cured in this place, expectations of me jumps up.
「Well now, who is next？」
And like that, eight people were treated in the three hours before it became noon.
Although the medical treatment schedule time has ended, the people have not decreased.
At the present time, I was being pressed by a patient who I had told to comeback.
「Somehow, Could I also be treated today？ My lower back hurts」
「I am sorry. I can only doctor in the morning」
「Please somehow or another！」
Dealing with a large number of medical treatments, far from people decreasing it has increased.
Until now, using ever trick in the book to cure old wounds, if there is a sense of incompatibility with the body I may be able to cure it.
Several people lower their head to me.
「I will do medical treatments tomorrow morning. I am sorry, but I have work elsewhere. I must make the weapons that can penetrate the armor within 5 days, otherwise I will be tied up and presented to the Empire. I am sorry but you will have to wait for treatment in a day」
While making a facial expression that seems of regret from the bottom of my heart, I spoke.
「Now that it was mentioned, Syril did say so. That is too bad. Let me wait until such time.」
「Oh well, we should have taken care of ourselves too」
The surroundings toned down when they saw my manner take a modest approach.
「It will not be in service in the afternoon. Because you will see it again in the morning, come tomorrow」
「Syril, is that okay？」
「Aah, the treatment that I am doing is more of a recreation for me. I want to do everything I can for everyone in the village. Even if it there are illnesses and injuries to cure, the reason why I have to make weapons to fight with the empire is to defend the lives of everybody in the village. Neither of which can be made light of.」
Was that a little too excessive?
While getting impatient inwardly, I watched the facial expressions of the surrounding people, it looks as if they have taken to the words accordingly.
「Syril, do your best. We believe you can do it」
「Yes, everyone is rooting for me. With such remarkable people behind me, I can make the weapons more easily」
The elven people that are good natured in origin easily become my ally.
With this case and going at this rate, even for the public demonstration after having made the weapon, I get the impression of their willingness to cooperate.
「Thank you, I will do my best」
I conceal my heart and make a smiling face that gives a good impression that was a bit forced.
At first, this first step may be called a success.
This is groundwork that will lay the foundations of something greater. Such efforts will bring meaning later.
