Chapter 96

Today is the day to assist the medical team.

In addition to the fluttery nurse's uniform, the white nurse's uniform with regular pants also arrived safely from Karaf, and I tried it on. Of course, the 'trainee' armband is attached.

Fol-san said, "It looks easy to move in," with her usual unreadable smile.

However, I didn't miss the fact that Vincent-san and Bax-san, even though it was just for a moment before the start of the day, both had a look of disappointment in their eyes.

While the work in the medical team is far more serious and the evaluations are extremely harsh compared to the cooking team or the documentation team, the uniforms are where you can do as you please. Moreover, the top two react enthusiastically, which is telling.

"Captain, I think uniforms are important for our motivation."

"...Maybe we'll use that as the emergency uniform."

And then, it was immediately incorporated into the morning consultation with the top two. Is that really okay!?

After all that, it was time to start work.

"First, let's confirm today's schedule."

"Sure, please."

We are now seated at the usual table in the pharmacy.

Seeing Fol-san take out the memo of today's schedule, I focused on the work.

This is the start of the daily routine in the medical team. Confirming today's work flow with Fol-san.

I also took out my notebook and wrote down today's date and schedule in bullet points.

"First, we'll have a lecture. Today, we'll learn how to wrap bandages. Then, we'll check the inventory of the first aid kit and add more bandages, and then we'll have practical training on the battlefield with the external security team. Since they've been doing combat training since early morning, there will be many subjects, so it's lucky for us."

Fol-san's sarcastic comments, or rather, her frank opinions, are as sharp as ever today.

"After lunch and a break, in the afternoon, Captain Sherifas and Deputy Captain Alga from the magic team are scheduled to join us. Also, the rumored angel race doctor, Seriel, and his apprentice, Ludwig, will be visiting the castle. While Yuriko is receiving the 'circulation,' we will also listen to various stories from Dr. Seriel, and then Yuriko will receive a lecture and practical training in light attribute magic from Dr. Seriel."

It's been about two weeks since the day I met Seriel at Vincent-san's house.

Originally, we were supposed to receive the 'circulation' once a month, but for the first time, we decided to have it after about two weeks to see how it goes.

So, it's today.

...The medical team clearly had more people on duty today! It might even be a full house!

I knew it. I had more than enough experience with Ioh as a subject.

The people here don't miss any opportunity to increase their knowledge.

They actively exchange opinions and hold lectures and meetings on both new and old literature during breaks.

They are truly dedicated to learning and improving their skills, which is truly worthy of the title 'professional.'

After all, the top two and the upper echelons of the medical team set the example.

And now, the magic team is joining us.

...I'm a bit skeptical that only the top two from the magic team will come. The magic team might also have a lot of people on duty.

I'm a bit worried about Seriel-san now.

As for Ludwig, I think we'll get along just fine.

After all, he's the son of Rinn and Vincent-san.

If he inherits his mother's social skills and his father's work ethic, he'll be fearless, right?

I get that feeling from the atmosphere around Ludwig.

"Anyway, let's start with the bandages."

"Sure!"

Oops, I shouldn't be daydreaming. It's time to start work.

So, we finished the morning lecture and practiced.

There are stretchable and non-stretchable bandages, and there's a correct way to hold them. There are five basic ways to wrap them, and there are also points to watch out for when wrapping.

As usual, Fol-san's lecture is very clear because she practices it regularly.

But when I practice with Fol-san, the difficulty level suddenly skyrockets.

Even though I understand it in my head, I can't do it properly.

It's truly a case of 'seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.'

Depending on the injury, the wrapping can be very complex because of the joints. Sometimes, even though I think I've wrapped it tightly, it's loose, or I drop the bandage on the floor because I'm in a hurry.

In such a state of uncertainty, I went to the battlefield and tried wrapping bandages on some of the patients Fol-san was treating, under the pretext of assisting in treatment.

Fol-san was trying to hold back her laughter, but she ended up laughing out loud.

The external security team members who had their bandages wrapped strangely by me were looking at me with white eyes or troubled faces, but Fol-san quickly and efficiently rewrapped them.

I'm sorry... I'll practice more (crying).

After such a disastrous morning, it was time for lunch.

"...Is your uniform different today?"

Alf-kun greeted me a bit dejectedly in the cafeteria.

Brutus, you too!

Despite my thoughts, I had lunch with Fol-san.

Today's lunch menu is everyone's favorite, fried chicken thighs and cheese-fried chicken breast!

Chicken is cheap in the magic continent too.

After all, the chickens used for food, other than riding beasts, are quite large.

They look a lot like the chickens we know, but they are the size of ostriches.

The sight of them running around the coop and spreading their wings to intimidate the caretakers is quite surreal.

The caretakers are always working hard to ship these giant chickens. Thank you always.

By the way, the eggs for food are regular size.

There is a different breed that produces infertile eggs, so the eggs come from them.

I received the lunch plate and got a chair, and I was ready to eat.

After saying grace, I looked at today's lunch again.

The smell is so good that my stomach is already growling. Even though I'm used to it, it's still very vocal.

The main dish is as mentioned.

The side dishes are plenty of shredded cabbage and sliced tomatoes and lemons. There is a corner for refills, and you can take as much as you like.

The plate is filled with crispy fried chicken and cheese-fried chicken, so there's an unspoken message that you can go and get more when it's reduced. In a way, it's a menu that's a bit of a savior for those who don't like vegetables.

At the same time, there is a stack of new plates for vegetables. If you need more, you can take them with this plate.

Next to the vegetables, there are salt, sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and dressings for vegetables, and a variety of seasonings for flavor changes in the main dish and side dishes. It's wonderful. This is something you can eat infinitely without getting tired.

And the staple is a very long hot dog bun, the size of a baguette. You can also make a hot dog bun sandwich with it.

By the way, I was given a butter roll size. Thank you always.

Finally, the soup is a white broth with plenty of enoki-like mushrooms, shredded carrots, and bright green bok choy. It's probably made with chicken bones that were cheap to buy.

And the dessert is a banana, with refills available.

Today's lunch is a chicken feast!

Well, let's dig in!

After a delicious lunch, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and returned to the medical room to brush my teeth and take a nap in the nap room.

Recently, a plushie of Vincent-san's riding beast, Kahlua, has appeared, so I used it without hesitation. When I woke up, I found that Fol-san had joined me in bed.

Given that it's made of the same material as Rets and Filius, it's probably made by Karaf.

I wonder if this riding beast series will continue to grow.

After waking up from my nap and getting ready,

it's finally time for today's main event, the 'circulation.'

When will it start?

Of course, there's a reason for the live commentary in my head.

Seriel-san is surrounded by the regular members of the medical team and the magic team.

It's a magnificent wall of people, several layers deep, spanning the width of the medical room.

Seriel-san is very tall, so even from a distance, you can see his very exasperated and troubled expression.

When I entered the medical room with Fol-san, the first thing I saw was this scene.

"Yuriko-chan"

"Ah, Seriel-sama. Hello!"

"Hello. It's been a while, how have you been?"

"Sure. How about you, Seriel-sama?"

"Me? Of course, I'm fine. Meeting Yuriko-chan has made me even more energetic."

As I stood there in a daze, Ludwig-kun, who apparently had already evacuated from the crowd, appeared in front of me.

He bent down to meet my eye level and spoke to me.

His gentle smile, reminiscent of Rinn, and his sweet voice, inherited from Vincent-san, create a charming contrast. Yes, I'm looking forward to Ludwig-kun's future.

As I smiled with Ludwig-kun, Fol-san was looking at us with a pleased expression.

"Is it tough, Seriel-san?"

"Yeah. As soon as I entered the medical room, I was surrounded by people who had been waiting. Angels are rare in the magic continent, and since the medical team is in the same profession, they have a lot of questions. Since my master is very capable, he usually has the answers, so the crowd just kept getting thicker."

Well, if Ludwig-kun decided to apprentice with someone, that person must be pretty amazing.

I can imagine that his judgment is very strict. After all, he's Vincent-san's son.

If he hadn't met Seriel-san, I think Ludwig-kun would have joined the Northern Demon King's Castle. The fact that he chose to apprentice with Seriel-san speaks volumes about his capabilities.

As I was thinking this, a loud clap echoed through the medical room.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Vincent-san, Bax-san, and three people in the magic team's uniform.

"Yuriko is here, so let's get to the main topic. We'll talk later."

At Vincent-san's command, the crowd slowly dispersed, though they looked very reluctant to leave.

Seriel-san, who had been surrounded, let out a deep, very deep sigh.
