I Work As A Healer In Another World’s Labyrinth City Chapter 4

"Well, let's go eat at the tavern" (s.h.i.+ki)

"Yes, my master!" (Yuel)

After Goblin hunting throughout the afternoon, the drops I sold at the Guild earned me a little over 2,000 Zeni.

We only spent roughly 4 hours in the Labyrinth, but earned a decent amount of Zeni. Given that the typical wages of day laborer does not make even 1,000 Zeni. Yuel's pretty excellent to have earned 2,000 Zeni in half a work day. She's turning out to be a good purchase. In addition to her excellent performance in the Labyrinth. Yuel is a very obedient child.

Yuel looks at the sus.h.i.+ with a innocent child like smile. I was antic.i.p.ating this moment. Looking at her eat, gives me a sort of healing feeling. I feel like I can now understand how a mother hen feels feeding her chicks. And earlier when I patted Yuel's head at the end of each  battle, I also started feeling less tense.

"Well Yuel, what do you think?" (s.h.i.+ki)

"It is delicious, master!" (Yuel)

Looking at Yuel stuff her self, made me happy. Yuel with a radiant smile directed me to sit with her face to face as she ate. If this was Eris eating in front of me I'd probably think she was hiding her scary personality.

"Hey" (annoyed voice)

I turn around to see the tom boyish girl, Ruruka. Ruruka is also someone that I would think was hiding her scary personality. I wonder what I did for her to greet me like that. Ah, maybe she's lonely.

I'd like to comfort her in the bed if possible.

"h.e.l.lo" (s.h.i.+ki)

"Yo, I've been waiting for you so long, I was beginning to wonder if you were even going to come. Because I wanted to talk with you." (Ruruka)
 

She turned to the side when she said "Because I wanted to talk" This is way too good to be true.

I don't think her remarks and att.i.tude are genuine in the least. Ruruka is clever, she knows what gesture to use to depending on the man to get what she wants. She's that type of person.

"Who is this person, Master?" (Yuel)

I Should probably introduce Yuel to Ruruka, since this is their first time meeting. But, Ruruka is likely to call me a lolicon if I introduce Yuel....I don't feel like introducing them.

"Master? So this cute little girl is your slave? I didn't realize your preferences were like that." (Ruruka)

Uwa, I got called a Lolicon without even introducing them. It's an unavoidable misunderstanding considering that you would never think that Yuel is a combat slave at first glance. Still, I don't consent.

"Yuel, this is Ruruka. She was a regular when i worked at the healer clinic. Ruruka, this child is the combat slave I bought yesterday for my for my party." (s.h.i.+ki)

"I see, it's nice to meet you Yuel-chan" (Ruruka)

Yuel quickly hides behind me. It seems she's scared, or maybe she's just a shy person. Now that I think about it, she also acted like this when we first met. Ruruka doesn't seem to think much of it.

"So you're going to take the cute little Yuel-chan to the Labyrinth?" (Ruruka)

"We already explored lightly into the Labyrinth today, we fought up to Goblins" (s.h.i.+ki)

Although I didn't get to check the level of enemy Yuel can handle, it's fine to do that later, Yuel isn't perfect and I should research demon the hierarchy as well.

"Oh? For such a cute girl to be so skilled at this age, isn't that amazing?" (Ruruka)

That's right. Yuel is so cute it's a sin. Somehow I feel like I'm a Bragging father boasting about his child.

"Ah, it seems that Yuel has skill proficiency with Dagger." (s.h.i.+ki)

"I See. Since I'm the only front line attacker in my party, I wonder if Yuel-chan would like to join my party if she ever comes to hate s.h.i.+ki." (Ruruka)

"Hey! What are you trying to pull, poaching someone else's party member?" (s.h.i.+ki)

Well, saying that it's not like Yuel would ever leave my party. What a joke. Yuel is to earnest for that, although I guess it's not like Ruruka is serious anyways.

"I, I will never ever come to hate Master!!!" (Yuel)

I thought so. That would absolutely be impossible. Though me saying that makes me happy, I wonder why I can trust Yuel so much? Ah, must be because she's my slave, I convince myself.

"Hey, s.h.i.+ki. Did you really only buy her yesterday? For Yuel-chan to be so attached to you, isn't that strange?" (Ruruka)

"Are you saying that it's strange for someone to get attached to me so easily? *Sigh* After I bought Yuel, I treated a wound on her face." (s.h.i.+ki)

"Yes! Master also healed my collapsed nose, missing eyes and my torn and battered ears. All while treating me gently as if he was my husband. Master is my precious person!" (Yuel)

"Eh? It doesn't look like there was such a terrible wound. There are no scars at all!" (Ruruka)

"Well that's thanks to my ability." (s.h.i.+ki)

To be so precise as to not leave a scratch with healing magic, it's said that there is significant technology and magic needed. Well, in my case, it's do to my healing ability, so I don't use high amounts of magic to heal, nor do I really do much research on the matter.

"Oh? Then I hope I can continue be apart of such an ability." (Ruruka)

"I don't" (s.h.i.+ki)

I expected this, I hope she doesn't think I'll heal for free. Although there's it's not like it's a disadvantage for me to do it for free, I can't really afford to do so. I have to consider how and when I work.

"E-eh? Is this because of what happened at Eris's shop? Where else am I going to find a healer who heals scars for a good price!? I'll properly pay 200 Zeni and a give special service, this is a fair price right?" (Ruruka)

Speaking of Eris, she also has said that it's considerably hard to get rid of scars. That it takes time to do such dense work when it needs great concentration and control of magic. However, the price is reasonable if you consider her special service. Though I am cheap in comparison to the market, it is the same price I used at Eris's Clinic. Still, it's cheap indeed. Although, it is a great feeling to grope through cloth's in this world, considering they don't have undergarments. I also wonder if I can take the special service by force if i have to?

"Fine. You better properly pay up this time." (s.h.i.+ki)

I'd rather not give the discount, but since I'm low on money anyways. I think it's fine. Although I'm wondering if I should do this in the tavern.

"Good, good. You'll heal the wound properly right?" (Ruruka)

Ruruka pays up front with the money taken out of her bank card. Prepaid? That's unusual. I have a bad feeling about this. It's the same kind of atmosphere that the slave trader gave off when he quickly left after selling Yuel. "I want to do this fast before he changes his mind" I get that kind of feeling.

"Hey, come over" (Ruruka)

There were two girls in the direction Ruruka called. One person with a witch like feeling who had blonde twin tails. The other one was a girl with blue hair in a bobbed style hair cut carrying a bow, she had a gave a composed feeling. The Blonde girl about 16, while the Blue haired girl looked about 18.The two girls rise from their seats and walk over. The twin tailed Blonde gives me a glare as she comes over. Blue hair sighs at the Blondes glare.

"The Blonde is Franc, and the other girl is Sera. They are my party members" (Ruruka)

"Hmph ......" (Franc)

"Thank you for always taking care of Ruruka" (Sera)

Franc scoffs at me, while Sera politely gives her greetings.

"Ah, I am s.h.i.+ki and this is my party member Yuel" (s.h.i.+ki)

We exchange greetings. And then Yuel gives her greetings as well.

Speaking to Ruruka's party is a bit painstakingly annoying. Definitively because of the Blonde
Even now her face is turned away from me with a dour look. It seems that she doesn't bother with men.

"I'd like you to treat Franc's shoulder, it's not a life threatening wound, but, she was bitten by an a.s.sault bat and suffered a side effect that's causing hemostasis, and that can very harmful." (Ruruka)
 TN: Hemostasis: The stopping of a flow of blood. 

I understand why adventures why adventures go into the labyrinth, but I don't think that women should be fighting again't the demons, even if they have skills. Labyrinth searches especially have a lucrative amount of danger in them. However in this world it appears that the difference in ability is smaller than in my original world.

Anyways, onto Franc. Although itself is not visible injury from wearing a robe, a lobe is torn a little, and you can see a small bandage covering it. I try to avoid eye contact with her. Usually I would I get a good amount of pleasure from watching my cute clients turn away with embarra.s.sment over the fact that a handsome healer was staring at them as I gave them treatment. This is not the case with Franc. Franc looks at me with a mixture of contempt and disgust. There's no value in a woman who has is all tsun and no dere. Let's not be honest about that part.

"Hey hey, why do you have drills for twin tails?" (s.h.i.+ki)

I don't understand why she has them. Anyway, somehow I fell like I want to fool around the drills and feel the full force of such a distinctive hairstyle that is hard to set every morning.

"s.h.i.+ki, it seems we won't be paying anymore?" (Ruruka)

TN: I think this is about the special discount. Anyways this was confusing so I left a bit out

Ah, this is why she payed upfront. Ruruka knows my personality well. I can already imagine Franc leaving the tavern in a fit of rage. Although it's not s.e.xual hara.s.sment to say  "So I can take a better look at the infected area, take of your robe?" Franc would still probably exit in a fit of rage. And since I can't say I won't cure her after I've already received the money, it will be tricky to s.e.xually hara.s.s Franc without offending her. Although even if i try something Ruruka would stop it.
I Really have no idea how I would do it.

Though. if you look at them per breast. Franc's chest is as much of a shame as her personality.
Shame indeed. Especially since Sera has a lager bust to the extent that you can see the package and Ruruka also has her nice bust hidden behind her breastplate. It's a hidden type of busty. it's a shame that these are the only t.i.ts i met this time.

"Healing fires" A warm light gathers over Francs shoulder.

I can't really confirm it, but the wound is probably healed. Franc doesn't let up on her bad expression even after confirming the state of her shoulder. It seems to have healed.

"Are you Not going to give thanks?" (s.h.i.+ki)

"I think it's rude to ask for appreciation" (Franc)

That p.i.s.sed me off a bit, but i'm not so inclined as to show it here. It's a healing thing to have Yuel here in many ways. I don't want to be showing her an unsightly appearance. I thought want her to be frightened by an angry me. It's a strange feeling, considering I'm a whirlpool of a personality.

"Although she has that expression on her face, Franc isn't a bad girl." (Ruruka)

Saying this doesn't seem to disturb Franc's bad expression at all. Even so, there should be a degree to how much you can be a man-hater. It'll be difficult to live if a majority of your conversations are unpleasant and you can't even say thank you.

Ah, so that's why she became an adventure.

After the treatment is over, Ruruka and her party leave the tavern.
Just before she left though, Ruruka gave her regards and said that she would of gave me the special service of groping her chest if I had insisted. I had determined that her adamant refusal would stay the same, so I did not ask again for the special service. It's a shame, but there's not point in crying over spilt milk.

....It's still a shame though....
