Chapter 1: A Tale of Two Cities C

In the first place, in this

world, there were only a few people that could be called physicians by a modern

j.a.panese’s standards. The ones who performed medical care will be either a

Light Attribute Magician or an apothecary[1]

using medicinal drugs to diminish the patient’s symptoms. Most of the Light

Attribute Magicians were members of the Church. Consequently, most of the

hospitals were established together next to the building of the Church itself.

That is the current condition of this

country, but it is a bit different in the Three-Eyed Tribe’s case. Because of

their above the norm medical technology, most of the ill or injured were

treated by being nursed in their own homes. If there was a bad of a disease

that they couldn’t treat in their own homes, they would seek a 『Physician』 who

would then give the medicine. Naturally, those physicians were very influential

people in the tribe and they were also few in number.

That Hilde, who was now spraying

antiseptic solution (perhaps limewater)[2],

possessed the best medical technology amongst the members of theThree-Eyed Tribe,

and was the number one 『Physician』 in the tribe…… But her appearance right now, looks no different from a

farmer spraying pesticide. Hilde, who was laughing in high spirits before, now put

a heavy atmosphere around her and sported a depressed smile.

「Tarnation……

Hadn’t I said to properly clean the cat poo! Because they had left them in the

open-air, this whole area had been completely covered by microbes! Ah, really! Filthy-filthy!」(Hilde)

While spraying the antiseptic

solution, this time she was stomping her feet in anger. Someone might think

that she is emotionally unstable, but this is how Hilde usually acts. Since she

possessed the most excellent pharmaceutics in the Three-Eyed Tribe and even in the

Three-Eyed Tribe that had many clean-freaks, her tendency was especially

strong. As the result, just like right now, she always carried disinfectants

with her…… Too see too much is also a problem in itself.

「You

are just as ever, Hilde.」(Souma)

「Hmm?

You… Who are you again?」(Hilde)

I removed the triangle hat that I

was wearing and showed my face. Then, without any surprise on her face, she

spoke,

「Ah,

so it’s the King.」(Hilde)

Then she immediately returned to

spraying the antiseptic solution.

「What’s

this? How awful. More or less, I am a big-shot, you know?」(Souma)

「Then,

you should be wearing more “appropriate” clothing. I thought that you were just

a random wanderer.」(Hilde)

As always, Hilde had a scathing

tongue. Even in the previous world, I imagined a doctor to have a harsh way of

speaking, but it seems that it was so in this world, too. 『Diseases

will inflict the good and the bad, the wealthy and the poor, the old and the

young, and all the races all the same. In front of me(doctor), all patients are equal』,

this was her cherished credo.

「Sigh……

Hilde, let me introduce you. These people are,」(Souma)

「I

already know, since they are famous. The princess and the former Air Force

Marshall’s daughter, right?」(Hilde)

「Are? Then how about Owen-dono?」(Souma)

「Who

want to know a sordid jii-san like that?」(Hilde)

「The

h.e.l.l you did say!?」(Owen)

Even Owen got angry when he was being

told off as a sordid jii-san.

「What

do you mean by sordid!? Even like this, this one is paying attention to how

this one looks!」(Owen)

「You

have done nothing, you muscle daruma![3]

Have you washed your body properly!? *Psst~*」(Hilde)

「Hey,

stop spraying me with that strange mist! Every morning, I pour water on my nude

body and rub it with a dry towel![4]

(So even this world have this kind of practice)」(Owen)

Uuu… I ended up unintentionally thinking

about this. Under the pouring rays of the morning sun, a macho jii-san is

bathing in the nude…… Even I felt sordid from imagining it. Perhaps because

they were imagining the same thing, even Liscia and Carla made a face as if

they were going to throw up sand.[5]

「By-by

the way Hilde. Why are you at this place today?」(Souma)

I asked her in order to forcibly

change the conversation topic. Hilde snorted in response.

「Humph. If I leave this place to those guys, then this place

would quickly become unsanitary. So sometimes I come to give guidance and to eliminate

the microbes.」(Hilde)

「I

see…… By the way, you aren’t with your partner today?」(Souma)

「Don’t

refer to him as my partner.」(Hilde)

Hilde made that remark in

displeasure.

「That

scuzz Brad is going “outside”. He said, 『Rather than treating a fat pig, I want to heal a

unsullied stray dog』 or something like that.」(Hilde)

「……

That person is also an obstinate one.」(Souma)

「Can

the King say something to him? That guy is always forcing the lectures for the juniors

to me.」(Hilde)

「I-I

see……」(Souma)

Brad Joker[6].

Together with Hilde, he was another physician who formed the other part of the

wings of the health care system reform. He is a man from the Human race and he

certainly had the skill as a physician, but…… his personality is a bit

troublesome.

「(It’s

unthinkable for that Brad to teach other people, after all. Though he might

guide the junior by showing the on-the-spot practical field, for the lectures,

there is no other way but to entrust it to Hilde……)」(Souma)

「Are

you listening? K-I-N-G?」(Hilde)

「O-okay.

I will try to talk to him.」(Souma)

I could only nod as her smile was

filled with anger.

「Then

again, why are the King and his group coming to this place?」(Hilde)

「Ah……

I have a business with the Mythical Wolf Tribe’s elder. Incidentally, I also

want to visit the business training center that had been entrusted to Ginger’s

group.」(Souma)

「Ah.

For that kind of business, right?」(Liscia)

Liscia made a face as if she

understood something. By the way, I haven’t told her the objective of my visit

today.

「……

Then I want to ask the Mythical Wolf Tribe’s elder’s “connection”, as I plan to

go to the “outside”.」(Souma)

「Eeh~,

so you want to go to outside? Then I will be following you.」(Hilde)

When she asked this, Hilde made a

loud laugh.

「Eh?

Why?」(Souma)

「Isn’t

it obvious? To knock some sense to that diagnostic-idiot.」(Souma)

Even though your face was

laughing, your eyes didn’t laugh at all, Hilde-san.

「We-well……

Keep it in moderation, okay?」(Souma)

Then, in the party of a foreign traveler,

schoolgirl, maid and macho jii-san, a new female doctor joined…… Hmm… Reading

it literally made me feel that something is still missing.[7]

◇　◇　◇

The 『Kikkorou

Brewery』 where the Mythical Wolf Tribe produced the miso,

shouyu and sake[8],

and the 『Business Training School』, that

Ginger’s group opened for the people of the slums, were located in the middle

of the former slum. Both of them required a large amount of s.p.a.ce, but there

weren’t any empty s.p.a.ce except for this area. But then again, it goes without

saying that the business training center ensured a steady suplly of labor for

the Kikkorou brewery, so this arrangement wasn’t that bad per se. It was something

that could said as a beneficial arrangement.

First, we visited the 『Business

Training School』 that had been

entrusted to Ginger’s group. A group of buildings dotted the inside of the grounds,

enclosed by a brick wall. At the present, the contents of the lessons offered

at the 『Business Training School』 was just teaching reading and calculation to the

students, but because I planned to experiment many things, the number of the

buildings ended up being quite a lot.

When we pa.s.sed the entrance gate,

「Goodbye,

San-sensei.」(Students)

「Goodbye~」(Sandria)

Several children ran out after

giving their farewells. Most of the children were around 10 years old. Their clothes

weren’t of good quality, but everyone was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with zeal. We could see the

former slave, now Ginger’s secretary, Sandria, waving her hand at the children.

「Goodbye,

everyone. Please be careful on the way home.」(Sandria)

While making a small smile, Sandria

saw the children off. Afterwards, she noticed our presence and then bowed reverently.

The way she conducted herself was filled with confidence.

「Oh

my, Your Majesty. Welcome to our premise.」(Sandria)

「Yo,

Sandria. Is Ginger here?」(Souma)

「He

is inside the Headmaster’s room. Let me guide you there.」(Sandria)

Then, with Sandria’s guidance, we

entered the simple square building. Its interior lacked any decorations and there

were numerous rooms, which, if a modern j.a.panese saw it, they might have thought

that this building was either a hospital or a school. We stopped in front of one

of the rooms, where a plate labeled 『Headmaster’s Room』 was

placed by it. We entered the room and Ginger, who was doing paperwork, rose from

his seat to greet us.

「Y-your
