With a few days left before the victory banquet, we continued our activities as normal adventurers.
The sales from the food stall had been incredible and the guild is still in the middle of calculating how much would go to us, as well as the share for the attendants who had helped out. So, today, our focus was on hospital duties. Sylvia-san and Fina-san joined us as well.
“This hospital admits a lot of children.”
“So, if possible, it would be helpful if you could spend some time interacting with the children.”
“““Yes!”””
I see…
According to the staff, this is primarily a children’s hospital. I remember seeing a feature about children’s hospitals in my previous life—these places tend to be stressful for kids, after all.
Our group was split into teams: Sue, Shiro and Horn, myself with Fran and then Ao, Fina-san, Pearl and Sylvia-san.
“Y-yes… please, take care of me…”
“Pleasure to work with you.”
Fina-san and Sylvia-san were paired together so they could get along while helping out. With Ao nearby, there was no worry about the treatments going smoothly.
And so, the healing began.
“All right, how does that feel?”
“It doesn’t hurt! Thank you, Oneechan!”
“You’re welcome.”
Sue and Horn, already professionals in healing, treated the children with ease, smiling as they worked. It was completely different from dealing with burly adventurers or seasoned fighters.
Sue had even been punched once by someone she’d healed after being proposed to—so genuine affection like this was a welcome change.
“Oniichan, aren’t you a cook?”
“No, I’m an adventurer and a magician.”
“Oh, really? Mom bought me a fruit sandwich, but she said it was made by the same person.”
Ah, so even here, I’m being treated like a cook. It’s nice that they enjoyed the food I brought from the stall, but… it does feel a little complicated.
“Wow, a slime is doing the healing!”
“It’s so cute!”
“That’s Pearl-chan and Ao-chan.”
I wondered how Fina-san and Sylvia-san would fare, but the children were completely captivated by the slime doing the healing. Through Pearl and Ao, we were able to communicate with the kids while they were focused on the unusual sight.
After all, seeing a slime perform healing was definitely something rare.
At that moment, one of the hospital staff approached me with a request.
“I’m sorry to trouble you, but could you serve fruit sandwiches to the children?”
“Of course. I’ll prepare them right away.”
“That would be a great help. There are quite a few children eager to have some fruit sandwiches.”
It seemed the other children wanted to try the fruit sandwiches that the first kid had called me a cook for earlier. Luckily, the ingredients were all in the item box, so we got to work making them together.
“Delicious! Sweet and yummy!”
“A slime is cooking!”
By making the flavor a little sweeter for the kids, they ate happily. Once again, Ao in action as a cook was a huge hit with everyone.
“This was a very good experience.”
“Yes, indeed.”
The bond between Fina-san and Sylvia-san had also grown stronger, and today’s hospital work ended up being a great success for all of us.
