Cleaning Up After Nursing
Three days have passed since I continued to channel my mana.
During that time, the village chief and Sebas were worried about me.
Occasionally, the two of them tried to separate me from Maria-san, saying, [Please don't push yourself too hard], but I stubbornly refused.
In the end, even Rain-chan said, [Light-sama! Please rest now!] I was told to take a break.
However, perhaps thanks to that, Maria's condition stabilized.
Although she had not yet fully regained consciousness, her eyes occasionally opened and she called out her daughter's name, [Rain].
Immediately, Rain-chan runs up to her and calls her [Mother], and she looks relieved and falls asleep again.
This was repeated several times.
When her condition stabilized, I called Sebas and the village chief and discussed bringing Maria-san back to the mansion in the capital.
I also told Rain-chan that I would be taking care of her mother at the mansion and asked her to come with me.
In this way, I decided to protect this parent and child and return to the capital.
When I returned, I received a word of gratitude from the village chief, but I also received a strangely sharp look from the man who had brought me here.
What? When I looked through my [God's Eye], I realized that this man was in love with Maria-san.
If all goes well, I can see that he has the courage to marry Maria-san and sell the daughter who gets in the way as a slave.
I subtly told the village chief to be careful about the man, but it seems the village chief was wary of him from the beginning.
"I appreciate your warning. I have been on the lookout for him for some time, and thanks to you, Light-sama, I have been able to confirm my suspicions."
The village chief replied.
The carriage then left the pioneer village and headed home.
Even in the carriage, I continued to pour mana into Maria-san, but there was still no sign of her awakening.
As soon as I returned to the mansion in the capital, I had a room prepared for Maria-san and Rain-chan. Of course, it's in the annex.
Then, I immediately asked Sebas to ask Grandma Suzuka to come.
When Grandma Suzuka came, I explained the situation.
"You did a great job. It is admirable, and the treatment is well done. All you have to do is give her some medicine to replenish her nutrition, and she'll get better. I think you called because you wanted me to give you that medicine. Correct? That's right. That kind of material is only available at my house."
Grandma Suzuka happily patted my head.
Apparently, Grandma Suzuka knew everything.
Two days after I administered Grandma Suzuka's special nutritional supplements while channeling my mana, Maria woke up.
"Rain... where...?"
Rain-chan began to explain the situation in tears.
"Mother suddenly collapsed... the village chief called a doctor... and that's Light-sama who is here. Light-sama... he took care of Mother all the time. Mother... slept for a week..."
At that moment, she hugged Maria-san and started crying, crying out loud.
"I'll explain the details after you've calmed down a bit. This is my mansion. Please take your time and recuperate for a while."
With that, I left the room.
This is because I think it is important for the parent and child to spend time together now.
What happened after this was actually more difficult.
It seems that I caused a lot of worry by informing various people that I would be taking a break.
Apparently, the knights thought I had fallen ill.
All the knights were worried about me, but when I explained the situation, they all patted me on the head and praised me.
It was the same with Grandpa Malberk.
Next, I headed to the Adventurer's Guild.
They knew a little about the situation, so the conversation was quick. When I told them that I would be attending to the sick for a while, I might not show my face except for emergencies for a while, and the adventurers looked disappointed.
Next is Master Shan of the Blacksmith Guild.
Master got angry as soon as I met him. Apparently, work has piled up because I'm not there.
He threatened to use me hard if I came back, but his face was smiling.
The Alchemy Guild is similar.
I also had a lot of work to do, but all the alchemists kindly praised my efforts.
When I told them that I would do my best when I got back, they said, [You don't have to push yourself. We'll do our best too, so don't worry about it].
Finally, I went to Grandma Suzuka and told her that the patient had woken up.
Grandma Suzuka was listening happily while patting my head.
"Listen. Chronic mana deficiency requires patience to treat. It's going to be difficult from now on. Just remember that."
She gave me advice and nutritional supplements.
I thanked Grandma Suzuka and headed home.
Thanks for the chapter
