Book 9: Chapter 26: The Job of the Former Saintess

I am working as a rescue personnel in this academy, butHalt-sama, were you not aware of this?

Y-Yup, sorry.

I was totally unaware.

Were taking Tinas classes during the weekdays, so were out of the mansion throughout the day.

I didnt have any inkling about what Seira, Elmia, Hakua, Kikyou and Sitri were doing within that time.

In the first place

Where's the first-aid clinic?

I had never been injured, so I had never been to the first-aid clinic.

Moreover, even if my classmates got injured, Tina, Ryuuka, and I would heal them on the spot.

Thats why I didnt even know where the first-aid clinic was.

You can find several first-aid clinics throughout the campus, butif its the place Im working at, it would be First Inner Walls fifth first-aid clinic.

The first-aid clinics of the academy were not rooms, but solo buildings that looked like hospitals, and there were quite many of them.

So there was a fifth clinic at the First Inner Wall, huh.

Really, this academy is so incredible.

Sorry I didnt know you have been working, Seira.

No, its alright. I must also apologize for not informing you beforehand regarding my work, Halt-sama.

By the way, she wasnt working because she was short of money, it seemed.

Back when she was still the Saintess, she had barely touched her earnings, so she already amassed a considerable amount of wealth. Not only that, she didnt have to shell out any money for her food and housing expenses because shes living in my mansion.

Thus, shes working because shes free.

She had been working nonstop for two centuries as the Saintess, so she planned to take it slow at first.

However, she couldnt help but feel an extreme itch to work after two days of lazing around in my mansion.

And so, she consulted Tina, and it was decided that she would work as healer of wounded students and professors.

Ahm, Halt-sama, if its alright with you, do you want to visit my workplace?

Fifth first-aid clinic? Okay. I also want to see the place where you work, Seira.

Thank you very much! Then, Ill be waiting for you!

Seira walked away after saying that.

By the way, we originally had a class today, but since we had been doing extracurricular activities without a break the whole time last week, we were given a break today, and theres no classes.

Tina called me, so Ill go check-out Seiras workplace after Im done.

I checked the location of the fifth first-aid clinic where Seira worked and visited it as promised, but

Whoa, is this for real

30 people were lined up in front of the first-aid clinic.

Not only students, but even professors lined up.

There were a few students who were bleeding.

One of them had a really bad-looking complexion.

Would it be better if I cast Heal on him? thats how bad it was.

Magicians who could use white magic like recovery spells were quite rare in this world. Even if this was the academy of magic, it didnt mean that every class had students and professors who could heal among them.

Even so, its quite odd that they were carrying the student as is, with flowing blood and all.

Shouldnt they have used some healing medicine to stop the bleeding before taking him to the first-aid clinic and had him fully recovered there?

Ahm, are you alright? If its okay with you, I can cast Heal.

I called out to the guy student who looked like he would faint any moment now.

...Leave him alone. Dont go sticking your nose in to heal me up.

That was the very grumpy reply that I got.

I dont really get it.

I just offered to patch him up out of good will

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the start of the line in front of the first-aid clinic.

Are you sure its okay to just handle it like that? You even closed the first-aid clinic

Halt-sama came, so I have to put my all into healing you. There should be no problem even if I close the clinic. Im sure the Headmaster will also approve.

It felt like I heard some kind of nonsense just now.

Im not hurt anywhere, you know?

Then why did you come to the first-aid clinic?

Eh, thats Seira, you summoned me

Did I? Well, at any rate, you came all the way here, so let me check whether you do not really need any treatment. Please lie down on the bed, Halt-sama.

Seira led me to a bed with a mischievous smirk on her lips.

I went along for now and lied on top of the bed.

The pillow was super hard.

There was a time when I had to lie down on a hospital bed because of injuries or sickness back when I was still in my original world. The pillows were very hard too back then, just like the ones here.

Why are the pillows in hospitals and clinics so hard?

I mulled over this while waiting for Seira.

Seemed like she would take a while since shes moving around a lot.

I closed my eyes and decided to take my time waiting for her.

Seira called out to me after a while.

Halt-sama, please raise your head a bit.

Hm? Like this?

Yes, thank you very much.

When I lifted my head, she pulled the pillow out and replaced it with something softer instead.

Whoa!

How soft and comfy.

Are you comfortable?

Yup, this is nice.

Hm?

Seiras voice was closer to me for some reason.

When I opened my eyes, I saw her peering at me.

Erm, according to Halt-samas checkup resultsYoure lacking sleep. Thats why please take a nap just like this.

Thats what she said.

Seiras cheeks were a bit red.

OhSo thats what it was.

Thats when I realized what the soft pillow really was.

This is

Seiras thighs.

And theyre bare.

Seira was lending her lap to me to sleep on.

...Isnt it heavy?

Its fine.

She didnt have any problems with this, it seemed.

Then, its so kind of you so Im gonna sleep for a bit.

Yes. Sleep well, Halt-sama.

GNight, Seira.

I enjoyed the velvety smooth feel of Seira the Emergency Responders bare legs and let myself fall into sleep.

T/N: I envy you, Seira I wanna have the option to work because Im free, not because I need to, uwu:D
