 The sun was beginning to set.

 

 Kaoru and Alicia were relaxing at the beach.

 

 The breeze was pleasant as they took a walk.

 

 

“It feels good. Kaoru-sama.” (Alicia)

 

“Yeah. It’s quite the calm climate.”

 

“It’s so nice, I feel like swimming.” (Alicia)

 

“No, I haven’t swum for a long time.”

 

“Can Kaoru-sama swim?” (Alicia)

 

“I used to swim a kilometer or so at the gym.”

 

“‘Gym’? You can swim a kilometer?!” (Alicia)

 

 

 Alicia was surprised at that.

 

 I wonder why she’s so surprised.

 

 

“What? Do you think it’s a lie?”

 

“No, no, but there are creatures that attack people, so I wonder how you swam that distance…” (Alicia)

 

“Oh, should I say that the pond I was swimming in was man-made? So there are no such creatures.”

 

“Oh, I see. The world is a big place, isn’t it? So there are such places?” (Alicia)

 

“No, I don’t know if there is one here.”

 

 

 Alicia heard my last words and tilts her head, with a confused expression covers her face.

 

 I laughed while looking at Alicia’s expression.

 

 

“By the way, what about that Pink Rabbi?” (Alicia)

 

“Yeah. I don’t know if it will be cured, and I think it’s okay to leave it until it’s fine.”

 

“That’s right. I did it. I’m going to give it a squeeze before I go to bed.” (Alicia)

 

 

 When Alicia heard me, she brightened up.

 

 I wonder if she realizes what she’s doing.

 

 Alicia was expressing her joy with her whole body.

 

 She skipped and twirled.

 

 Her dress swayed a little too much.

 

 Her white skin peeked through her light green dress.

 

 I quickly looked away.

 

 Her face was a little flushed.

 

 Alicia was completely oblivious to my condition and when she came back to me an angelic smile remains on her lips.

 

 Is she this innocent, or is she just a natural airhead?

 

 

“Kaoru-sama, your face is red, are you okay?” (Alicia)

 

“Oh, oh, I’m fine. Should we head back soon?”

 

“Yes. After all, it feels good to take a walk after a meal. It makes me sleepy though.” (Alicia)

 

“Well, why don’t you take a nap afterward, Alicia?”

 

“No, you can’t. I have to read the grimoire that Kaoru-sama made for me, and I also have to practice controlling my MP. There’s so much to do.” (Alicia)

 

 

 Alicia said, sighing heavily.

 

 The grimoire that I gave Alicia this time is an intermediate level of recovery magic.

 

 It contains spells frequently used during treatment [Increased Recovery – Light Cure], [Intermediate Stamina Recovery – Air Heal], [HP Recovery – Light Heal], And so on.

 

 Since Alicia’s magical power has become enormous, I created a grimoire, thinking that she could handle these as well.

 

 The two of us held hands and slowly returned to the clinic.

 

 

 

 

 

~A Receptionist’s Perspective~

 

 

 There was an ordinary man running through the city of Faguilded.

 

 His forehead was sweating and he was breathing hard.

 

 He was a receptionist of the Explorer Guild.

 

 

“Hey, Enrique, what’s wrong, why are you in such a hurry?” (Enrique’s Acquaintance)

 

“No, not right now!” (Enrique)

 

 

 The calmness that I had when I was working as a receptionist was nowhere to be found.

 

 I can’t afford to.

 

 As it is, I ran to the Healer Guild.

 

 

“How did he find a healer…”

 

 

 The expression was like biting a bitter worm, and it was lumpy like a whisper.

 

 Enrique arrives at the Therapist’s Guild, opens the door, and walked in.

 

 

“Oh, isn’t it Enrique? What’s wrong?”

 

 

 A rich-looking fellow approached Enrique.

 

 Enrique went towards the man and spoke quietly.

 

 

“I’m sure you didn’t introduce the healer to Dirk!” (Enrique)

 

“Ah? I didn’t do that. I’m getting paid for that contract.” (Healer)

 

“That’s right. Breaking it means going against Kiddish-sama, so I won’t ever do it.” (Enrique)

 

“Oh, hey. Did you find the healer…?” (Healer)

 

“No, I haven’t confirmed it yet. Please don’t tell anyone about this. I’ll take care of it myself. That’s the price of silence.” (Enrique)

 

“Don’t overdo it too much. They can’t do terrible things because the guild [Blue Holy Beast] is helping those guys over there.” (Healer)

 

“I know.” (Enrique)

 

 

 With that said, I left my seat and heads for the exit.

 

 My complexion was probably worse than before.

 

 Still, I went to report to Kiddish-sama.

 

 Soon I entered the largest mansion in Faguilded.

 

 When the gatekeeper saw me, I was halted and asked what my purpose was.

 

 I said that I was to report an incident, and the gatekeeper let me pass immediately.

 

 When I enter the mansion, gold and silver antiques were crammed on display.

 

 It was an arrangement that brags one’s financial strength.

 

 

“Enrique-san. Master has been waiting for you. Please go to the back.” (Servant)

 

“Oh, I’m sorry.” (Enqirue)

 

 

 A person dressed as a maid will guide me.

 

 The attractive doll-like maid leads me to my destination.

 

 I held my breath and meet Kiddish-sama.

 

 

“Oh, why did you come Enrique? How was Dirk? Tell me quickly.” (Kiddish)

 

“Yes. When I showed him that document, he turned pale. He was trembling.” (Enrique)

 

“Ha-ha-ha, that’s good. I wish I could have been there to see it.” (Kiddish)

 

“If you were there, you would laugh a lot.” (Enrique)

 

 

 I said with a slight wince.

 

 Not minding such a reaction, Kiddish-sama laughed at Dirk’s suffering.

 

 

“I have to go to [Farsees] on the deadline. I’ll leave this to you, so I’ll bring back some souvenirs. Otherwise, Voldo will be irritated.” (Kiddish)

 

“Yes, leave it to me.” (Enrique)

 

 

 I left the place hurriedly while wiping off the cold sweat.

 

 I returned home and pack up.

 

 I have to travel to Vista Island and check.

 

 First, if they have a therapist, I have to do something about him.

 

 The last resort was to kill him.

 

 Yes, he shouldn’t have been there from the beginning.

 

 There is no way he would be able to have money anyway.

 

 With that in mind, I jumped into a carriage next to my house and drove my horse.

 

 

 

 

 

~Kaoru’s Perspective~

 

 

 Sometime in the evening.

 

 Four adults were arguing in front of my clinic.

 

 

“Carl, we’ll sacrifice you. You see, Kaoru is kind to you, right?” (Tryst)

 

“When you say ‘sacrifice’, those words don’t make sense! No. I don’t want to die yet.” (Carl)

 

“Carl, we can be saved just by sacrificing you alone. It’s a cheap price to pay, isn’t it?” (Bud)

 

“What do you mean cheap! How tasteless can you be!” (Carl)

 

“No, this is my responsibility to build the village. If my life can do anything…” (Dirk)

 

“Who will manage this village if Dirk-san dies. That proposal is out of the question!” (Bud)

 

“Yes. Dirk-san’s life is not cheap!” (Tryst)

 

“Tryst, you can use your sex appeal to cool down Kaoru…” (Carl)

 

“I can’t! Because Kaoru is a newlywed! I don’t think I can get any closer!” (Tryst)

 

“So, it’s Carl’s life…” (Bud)

 

“I wonder, I’m starting to feel really sad. Is my life cheap? Is that true?” (Carl)

 

“Carl-san, your life isn’t cheap, so don’t say that.” (Dirk)

 

“Well, only Dirk-san is kind to me… Uh.” (Carl)

 

“Why are you crying! I thought it would be better if I could just get a couple of your arms taken off…”

 

“””Ah!!!””” (Dirk, Carl, Tryst, & Dirk)

 

 

 A slightly annoyed Kaoru was standing in front of the clinic.

 

 Dirk and the explorers were arguing loudly they didn’t notice him.

 

 

“Well, I thought there was a lot of noise, but you’ve already come back?”

 

“Ka-Kaoru, how long have you been there?” (Bud)

 

“Just a few minutes ago.”

 

“Well, that’s right Oh, I’ve successfully renewed my contract, so I’ll see you in a month.” (Bud)

 

“Oh, don’t overdo it and get hurt, Bud.”

 

“Well, there are things I have to do even if I have to force myself.” (Bud)

 

“What the hell are you saying with that smug look on your face? Is there anything else you have to do?”

 

“Oh, that Kaoru-san actually…” (Dirk)

 

“”Nevermind, nevermind”” (Bud, Tryst, & Carl)

 

“?”

 

 

 The moment Dirk was about to talk about what happened at the Seeker’s Guild, Bud and the others held his mouth and stopped him.

 

 It was very suspicious.

 

 I wondered what happened.

 

 

“Did something strange happen?”

 

“Nothing. Today, I’m just reporting that we were able to get it done. So we’re done.” (Bud)

 

“See you tomorrow.” (Tryst)

 

“That’s right.” (Carl)

 

“Ngu… Hmm…” (Dirk)

 

“Ookaay. Be careful and go home.”

 

 

 Without letting Dirk say anything, Bud and his party left towing Dirk along.

 

 Kaoru returned to the clinic with a confused expression on his face, not knowing what Bud and his friends have been doing.

 

 

“Kaoru-sama, what’s wrong?” (Alicia)

 

“Oh, Dirk and Bud came.”

 

“So they’re back home, right?” (Alicia)

 

“Something was really suspicious, but… well, it’s fine?”

 

“Suspicious? What is?” (Alicia)

 

“Well, I’ll tell you soon.”

 

 

 I sat on a chair and returns to my task of examining the Pine bacteria.

 

 

 Alicia read her grimoire with two pink rabbis on her head.
