Chapter 56 - The second day (2/2)
”They are!” [Yefefiah]
Once all of us get off the bus and me parking the bus inside the item box, we enter the house of an old man lying there with his wife next to him. The house reminded me of Borg and Lin's house and I quickly applied some cure magic just like yesterday to all of us.
”How about you do the honour for today” [Young healer A]
”That will be nice” [Rafiah]
”If you said so” [Ash]
While I am treating the old man, the other didn't just sit there and watch. Instead, they're all giving information about what causes the endemic disease and what to do to prevent it, emphasizing more on the hygiene part.
”Remember, always wash your hand before eating!” [Diana]
”Preferably like this, but a simple hand wash that clean the dirt from the hands are enough” [Rean]
Diana and Rean try their best to explain it to the crowds. They knew that Diana alongside me will be moving around from house to house for today treatment and as such they will gather around the house that we stop by. Seeing this, Diana quickly took the opportunity to involve my siblings as well to teach the masses about the disease. It's a good step, that way prevention can be done as someone higher up from them are personally explaining the disease to them, washing the dirt off Diana's name which is tainted by nasty rumour and also spreading the good name of the orphanage.
”There, done” [Ash]
”it, it doesn't hurt anymore!”
”Darling”
The two of them hug eachother, such a sweet scene, still I have to interrupt them as the schedule is a bit tight. Plus
”You guys heard what Princess Diana said right, about the importance of hygiene. So do us a favour and start helping this two sweet couple cleans up their house, or else the disease will only spread further” [Ash]
”As the behemoth slayer rightly said” [Diana]
”Yosh, leave it to us!”
And with that, our busy schedules continue on. We met some of the young healers as well, going by the castle carriage along the way doing the same thing as us. We also went and stop at the clothing shop and chat with the clothing shop aunty and his son for a while before moving on to the next location.
The same scenario keeps on happening, we treated the patient, the neighbour used the opportunity to peak at the princess and thus the princess and my siblings started to give a health talk. It's tiring but also fun.
There's still some of them that looks at my siblings like they're looking to a garbage, it hurts me alright but
”You there, if you have nothing better to do, then I suggest you to leave!” [Qis]
”Nice job Qis” [Diana]
”Thank you” [Qis]
”Female knight is cool!” [Elise]
”That's rare word coming from you Elise” [Ash]
I can understand her admiration toward Qis, but hearing Elise using the word cool somehow sound strange to me.
”Thank you, the three of us once really strive to become one” [Qis]
”Three of us?” [Elise]
”Nothing” [Qis]
”Don't just brush it off Qis” [Diana]
I'm pretty sure Qis is trying to tell Diana not to tease her, but let just let it slide. I don't want Elise image of a strong female knight to be needlessly destroyed by my comment
And after a while, we finally covered the assigned area. Since we are having some free time, Diana asked all of us to come with her to dine together in one of the luxurious restaurant. Naturally we all rejected that offer. We compromise and eat at what is called as normal restaurant for the likes of us.
