The Healer's Guild was founded by the Sage of Time in order to produce people who could handle holy magic and save as many people as possible.
Initially, the healing was paid for in the form of an offering.
This was not only money, but also vegetables, fruits, and other necessities of life, as long as they were thoughtful.
However, after the founders left this world, the healers' mindset gradually changed.
The healers felt so resentful of the fact that they had cast a life-saving spell and would be resented and abused if they couldn't save their lives that they went on strike against the Healers Guild.
Thus the price was decided by each individual at the discretion of the healers, and the guild became a weak entity that didn't speak except when it was too obvious, and only made them pay an offering based on the sales of magic books and their rank.
They were used for maintenance costs and guild staff salaries, and they no longer established a healing hospital or ran an orphanage.
Thus, the prototype of the healers, known as the moneymen, was created and their momentum accelerated.
''For that reason, I'll have an escort with me when I leave the guild in the future.
"...I didn't think that people would hate me without knowing it.
'I'm sure you do. But you have a lot more allies than that. The Adventurer's Guild, adventurers and their families appreciate it. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that we've been able to make it to this point.
'Well, I don't mean to do anything wrong, so it's fine, but then I'll have to train harder.
''... I knew Luciel's thinking was out of step with the other healers, in a good way.
I am who I am. But where the hell did that information come from?
'That's the people who are mad at the inhabitants of this city, the adventurers and the other healers besides you.
Oh, so you're a resident too?
'Yeah. It was on the condition that we let them treat the injured civilians from now on, though.
What?
Of course not. People don't give free information to the world.
''Huh~. It's fine to treat them, but I'll need an escort too.
Oh. Let me take care of that part.
So, do you know who I have a vendetta against?
Yeah. These are the ones who ran the healing clinics and charged high prices for their treatments. Among them, I've heard that the head of the largest healing center in the city, Botakouri, has his eye on you.
'Is it because the most powerful man in town is the head of a university hospital, just like the chairman of a university hospital who looks at a single new doctor in the eye, or is it because he's the chief (don)? Then you're just too small, Don.
'Digakbyoin? What does that mean? But still, I didn't understand what you meant by how much to how much?
Gulp.
He returned the old man's gag calmly.
'Hey, hey, are you okay?'
''Yeah, yeah. But still, don't you have any allies in relation to the Healing Institute?
'I'm sure there are those who support you, even if no one is outwardly on your side. The ones that don't charge exorbitant prices, but offer reasonable prices, or offer a price first, will be fine.
What's my reputation, by the way?
'It's generally good from the adventurers that he's skilled and accommodating. There have been several requests from residents for treatment at the Adventurer's Guild.
Do you think I'm already treating the residents?
Yeah. Did you notice? The word was out that they treated you for a flat silver dollar a day without charging you a dime.
'What? A silver coin? Isn't it expensive?
"...I've been asking Nanaela and the others to teach you some common sense, but you need to learn some more common sense.
'No, no, I'm a chick who's just started my second year as a healer, right?
I was in a great place to learn, as were my skills as a healer.
Studying with the Great Book of Demons, taught by Nanaela-san.
An eye nurtured by Garba-san's demolition.
A study using the Great Book of Wildflowers taught by Mirina-san.
In addition, the Adventurer's Guild also has detailed books on various genres.
Also, one must be excellent to become an employee of the Adventurer's Guild, let alone a receptionist. All staff members were more talented than the average person.
In addition, in a world where entertainment is scarce, reading is my leisure time, and over the course of a year I learned a lot of knowledge.
Combat training was the most prominent part of my training, but due to my chattering nature, I might be killed if I failed against the stern adventurers who asked for a cure.......
With that in mind, I never missed the image training while chanting my heels.
By the time six months had passed since I arrived in this world, I was no longer afraid of adventurers, but I wasn't conceited.
No, if I was a tough guy and saved adventurers and people, wouldn't I be able to live a safe life in this world? The result of his desperate efforts because of this desire was the result of his current efforts.
And the biggest factor was the treatment in the Adventurer's Guild. In my previous life, I would die of overwork without getting much sleep, just like the doctors on TV.
He never fell into such a situation, so his current life wasn't hard or anything like that.
It was. Good. In order to increase the survival rate of our temporary staff, we'll train them to use a variety of weapons from today.
No, don't tense up. And don't pull, hey, you hear me? Instructor Brod? Brod Kooka.
The staff and adventurers watched me with warm eyes as I disappeared into the basement where the training grounds are located, clutching my neck and my clothes, as usual.
One day after one of those days, I was concentrating on training my physical and walking techniques, and today I was being beaten up by Instructor Brod again, when he suddenly called out to me in a high pressure manner.
'Are you the guild's healer?'
(Who?) When I think about it, I think, "Hey, are you listening to me? The "Little Chief
The words were spoken by one of the two men who looked like a man with a round belly and a well-built mercenary.
''Who are you? I don't know any such barbarian who would threaten you further without an appointment?
I hated with all my heart the idea of having my precious time wasted, but as the instructor and all the adventurers gathered nearby, I decided to take a strong stand.
'Cheeky little bastard. And you are an ignorant fellow for not knowing me here. Listen up, I am the head of the largest healing hospital in this city of Meratni, Botakouri.
Rip-off?
It's Botacouri. "Insolent boy, I order you to cease your treatment at the Adventurers' Guild immediately. Stop healing in the Adventurer's Guild and I will hire you to come work for me in my sanitarium. That's what I've come to tell you.
'I can't. I can't say no because I'm sent by the Healers Guild. Well, even if I could, I'd turn them down.
Hey, you. If you reject the mercy of Lady Botacouli...
When he said that much, the mercenary was unable to continue with his words due to the killing spirit of the adventurers.
''Mercy doesn't apply to blackmailing or trying to eliminate your workplace. You might want to re-learn the meaning of the word once, don't you?
You're getting a lot of stares.
It looks like I'd better ask for an escort when I go out.
''Ever since you came to the Adventurer's Guild, there have been fewer and fewer guests in our healing center every day.
'Are you making any sales efforts? A sanitarium is a place that helps people, but I don't think any patient wants to go to a place with a bad reputation, do you?
''Kid, do you think my healing center has a bad reputation!
'No one is saying that. It's just that if I were a patient, I'd go to a place that's accommodating, quicker procedures, clearer pricing and all that kind of stuff, right?
What, are you trying to talk me out of it?
'What? Why should I preach to someone who didn't even know your name until today? Does that ring a bell?
You little bastard, you're a neophyte healer, and you can be destroyed at a moment's notice.
Botacouli has a vein in his forehead, but was he a little too agitated?
Then how much do you, as a senior healer, get paid for the treatment of how many injuries and how much money do you get? And what is the magic you are using?
''Surprise me when I hear it, including me, I can use advanced recovery magic high heels in my healing clinic. And it's priced at an incredible 30 gold coins.
Thirty million yen for one time is an unbeatable price?
So what magic do you do for patients with broken bones and such?
High heels, of course.
You could have healed yourself in your middle heels.
'What's the use of such low-level magic now?'
I'm sure it could be used by many people and save a lot of patients?
'No. I'm asking you what you get for doing a job that doesn't pay the bills.
'Huh. If high heels can chant, then you're sure of your skills, right? If you still don't get patients, don't you think there's a problem with your management?
"Mmm-hmm. I know what he's talking about. I'm already angry. Hey, boys, kill this guy.
That being said, they won't move, no, they can't move.
It's because they are plainly intimidated by what happens when the adventurers around them move because of their antagonism to me.
It's intimidating enough that you can see it even when it's not directed at me.
But there's a tremendous killing spirit coming from the Brod instructor next to me.
"This is Brod from the Adventurers' Guild. Botacouli-dono, shall we examine everything from the management of your healing clinic to what nefarious things you're doing, every single detail?
Botacouli began to tremble at Instructor Brod's intimidation.
'Hiiiiii,'
Then he screamed and ran off to the exit in a flash.
''Oh great. To chase them away with the killing spirit, Instructor Brod is still amazing. Ah, everyone, I'm sorry for the trouble this time.
I lowered my head.
'But then again, is that the mastermind?'
No, he's just a scoundrel who loves money, and after treating you, he'll offer you exorbitant prices and turn you into a debt slave.
'How can that be allowed to happen? And you can't, because there's no law against it.
Well, yes. Moreover, some of them only offer the amount of money after they treat you, and they don't pay you even though they treat you.
It is said that there are many cases where they say so and set you up in reverse.
As long as you are treating people with such a fraudulent act, you may be sued for making them pay nothing.
This problem seems to have deep roots.
Yeah. It's a good thing you're the one who came to my house, because you have no common sense.
That makes it hard to decide whether I'm being complimented or put down.
Really? It's just that I'm glad he's a guy who isn't stuck in a healer's wheelhouse.
'Well, I'm glad to hear that you're needed, but should I be more vigilant in the future?
''Leave the handling to the Adventurer's Guild. We've got some top-notch guys when it comes to keeping an eye on things.
'Please do so. Then you can continue your training.
Oh.
Thus I saw Botacouri, the largest healing center in the city of Meratni, and I began to think a lot about the Healers Guild, the Healing Center, and the Healers.
Meanwhile, Botacouri, who had escaped from the Adventurer's Guild, was in his private room, hitting on two mercenaries and the slave-master.
'Oh, it's so annoying. You're going to get away with it, you little bastard! I don't care how much information the boy has on you, you will get away with it. I don't care how much information you have.
'That's all well and good, Mr. Botacouli. Threatening or setting that one up is a bit harsh, isn't it? After all, the Adventurer's Guild has completely surrounded us. We can't get anything with that one.
You don't have to tell me that. Shut up and do as you're told.
'Hee hee. But I'll tell you this, even if you kill that thing, the first person to be suspected is your husband. This time, even if he's white, the adventurers will still suspect him.
I said you know what I'm talking about.
'Well, well. It's not good news, but I believe the maximum amount of time the healing guild can be sent out is one year. So I think we can create a situation where that brat has to leave this city next year.
Idiot. We can't wait that long. But why is that little boy working for such a stingy adventurer's guild? Hey. You're going to find that little boy from both the Adventurer's Guild and the Healer's Guild.
'Yes, sir. 'Master,' the men left Botakouri's private quarters.
'Let's ask the head of the Healer's Guild if it is possible to fly the little bastard out of office. But no matter how much money we put in, if the Adventurer's Guild is not convinced, it's impossible. Is there any way to do it?
Botacouli continued to ponder.
