It's a lie.
''Luciel-kun? What are you babbling about?
'Oh, excuse me, Miss Catherine. I suddenly had that narration in my head.
Narration? Did you always want to be a minstrel or something?
No, sir, I don't think so.
I must deny it. I'm already hungry for strange street names.
'Well, he must be tired. After all, it's only a month after the ceremony, and he wrote those guidelines.
It was Archbishop Mardin who said that to me. He's a mild, pious old man.
'That's true, too. But it's still a bit rough on the content.
The next person who approached me was Mr. Munerer, who looked like a rogue merchant, but was actually the Pope's right hand man, who was a goner and did something like a diplomat.
''Yes. The healers might go on strike if we let them out into the world.
Don Gahaha, whose real name was a lie, spoke up. He was a man who was reluctant to create these guidelines until the last minute, but he was a don of a faction. He was pushed to the brink of disqualification after the ceremony and changed his mind? He is starting to work on the bill.
'But if it's the Pope's order, how can we not obey it?
Thus putting himself in the coordinating role is Mr. Brutus, a former priest-knight captain. The youngest of them all, a man who rose to the rank of archbishop at the age of 41, who has served the church as a healer since he was injured. We shouldn't judge him by his name, should we?
'Yes. So a strike is possible. Those of us who have been free so far will no doubt rebel, and I am certain that Luciel, who has taken the lead in pushing for this, will be the target of assassination.
It wasn't that Dongahaha-san didn't like the reforms, but rather that he was anxious and cautious about the speed at which they were going too fast.
''That's true, but if we don't rebuild the Healer's Guild run by the Church Headquarters in the St. Schuler Cooperative Kingdom now, there will be something that can't be compared to what happened when Mr. Luciel disappeared and a riot broke out.
Catherine is a bit scary, since her position has returned, she's been as supreme as Mr. Brod. Besides.....
"...hmm? Luciel, do you have a suggestion?
He is an esper who is very sensitive to the presence of people.
'Do you know who these guidelines are for?
'It's for the benefit of the patient, right?
That's what the voice says and everyone agrees.
'Yes, it is. But it's also for the healers. When I first became a healer in Melatni, there were some excellent healers in the city who could use high heels. I don't even know what they were thinking before they were able to use them... but they must have had to put in a lot of effort and experience. Isn't it sad to see a world where people who worked that hard are resented? A healer is a person, so it's not surprising that they are blinded by money and greed, but if you only think about getting money back from everyone, you'll be staining your past. Besides, if it is easier for healers to go to a healing clinic, the cost per person will be lower and you will be busier, but the number of people you treat will increase, and your skills as a healer will improve and you will be respected by others. In the future, it may even become the number one job you want to be a healer. Wouldn't you like to create such a future? It's been a long time, but as Dongahaha-sama said, let's gradually raise the awareness of the healers while deciding on a compromise line so that what Catherine-sama said won't happen. I'll do my best as an S-class healer too.
'I know you're thinking that far ahead. I'll try to be as good as you, Luciel.
Hmm. So, let's just tighten up these guidelines a bit more.
'Huh? Why the hell are you doing this all of a sudden?
"As an S-rank, you will save people. I didn't expect you to quote such legendary words here, you have the determination and achievement to become an S-class healer at such a young age.
Legend? Quote? I don't know what that means?
You know what?
"I can't believe you use the same words as Master Leinster Gastard, founder of the Healers' Guild.
'Well, let's start with these guidelines first, then we'll pass a bill. I never thought the world would have to take it upon themselves to make this work...
I don't think you're exaggerating. Perhaps this conference will be passed down to the poets in time.
Huh? Everyone is talking about something fervent. What bothers me more is that the words "as an S-level healer" triggered it.
'You know, so what about me?
''That's right. As expected, I can't let you go alone, and we can either form a squad of Luciel-dono in the Order, or if you want to act covertly, we can hire mercenaries and adventurers.
We don't have a Holy City, but we do have slaves.
''As long as you have an S-class Healer Card, you can get in, even if it's the Illumasian Empire.
''I've had regular reports put in, but since you've decided to look around with your eyes to make sure there's no injustice, I'll have to contact the Magical Independent City of Nerdal as well to ask them to start improving the magic ball as well.
...hmm? ...How did that happen?
We'll need a map of the world as well.
'More importantly, Luciel, if you're going to travel, you must have horsemanship skills. You'll be targeted by thieves and other thieves if you drive a carriage.
'If I were a little younger, I'd follow you. It's a real shame.
'Most of the small villages don't have a healer, so I'm asking you to heal for the church. Of course, you will be paid more than ever before, so please do your best.
Ladies and gentlemen, then, let us all do our best to help Luciel-dono leave the church soon.
"Oh, yes.
The guidelines and legislation that have been put together in this way have been put forward by specialists in the field to the best of their ability.
Once again, let me say this out loud. How did we come to this?
I could only watch the meeting heat up without being able to say a word in denial due to its speed.
There were many things that were included in the guidelines, but in simple terms, they are as follows
Explanation before treatment.
After the explanation is complete, a price quote must be given in advance.
Offers a price plan for healing magic, based on the skill of the healer
Discounts should be left to the individual clinics, but should be within a set price range.
The patient's companion must agree to pay for an emergency.
These were the above, but it was left to the specialists to decide how this would change.
I have included in the bill the adventurer's guild guard and citizen's card to make or not make insurance, but I don't know if that will be made in this world where insurance is not a concept.
I thought to myself as I listened to the guidelines and the skeleton of the bill being made, the schedule for implementation, the way each Healer's Guild branch would be notified, and the current status reports of each Healing Institute.
I knew nothing about the Church or the Healer's Guild, even though I was at the core of the Healer's Guild, at the Church's headquarters, I knew nothing about the Church or the Healer's Guild.
This is how I came to learn about the Church, but those who saw it mistakenly thought I was young but pious, and the name of an S-ranked healer was passed on to the Pope with the S-ranked healer's name walking alone on its own, and it was decided to let Luciel leave when he turned twenty years old.
It was left to me to decide how to spend a year and five months.
The world would not know about Luciel until just a little while later.
