☆ Chapter 114 ☆
* * *
I anxiously watched the doctors examine Grandpa.
The doctor who finished the examination bowed to Dad.
“It’s old age.”
“Old age?”
“His health wasn’t good to begin with. It seems he hasn’t taken care of himself over the years. Given his age, it’s common to have a primary physician to manage his health…”
“But he can still get up, right?”
The doctor’s face darkened at my question.
“That depends entirely on the Marquis. The most important thing is whether his stamina can hold out…”
“You mean he doesn’t have much stamina.”
“Actually, he must have had difficulty moving around. Coming to the Duke’s residence every day in that condition must have been a burden.”
“…”
Even young people get tired and exhausted easily if they stay home for a month or two and then go out.
Not to mention, Grandpa had been confined to his residence for over a decade.
The Marquisate would naturally be large, so I wasn’t worried about that.
But a person with a sick heart tends to live as if trapped in a small room, even if they live in a house as vast as a castle.
Moreover, Grandpa had previously collapsed from shock and couldn’t move.
“The Marquis probably didn’t show it on purpose, so don’t blame yourself too much.”
I looked at Grandpa lying down.
Grandpa was tall and had a straight back, but he had no fat on him.
‘They say you need fat as you get older.’
He clearly had very little muscle mass, as if he had hardly been active.
‘Stupid Ruatisha.’
I didn’t even know what Grandpa’s condition was like, and I acted like I knew what it took to be a family.
It was the same right before Grandpa collapsed.
I was just pleased to see my brothers slowly accepting Grandpa, even though they were ‘disapproving, disliking, and annoyed’ with him.
Thinking it would be a very good thing for both Grandpa and my brothers.
What arrogant thoughts did I have when I didn’t even properly see Grandpa’s condition?
‘Enough with the self-blame!’
I slapped my cheeks with both hands, making a loud sound.
Dad and my brothers, who were watching over Grandpa, looked at me in surprise.
“Lulu?”
I smiled as if I was okay.
This is not the time to be depressed.
A situation where we don’t even know if Grandpa, who collapsed, can get up again.
‘I have to do what I can!’
* * *
As soon as I returned to my room, I took out Akitus from the bedside table.
‘What ability should I summon?’
The female leads who made a name for themselves as genius doctors came to mind first.
‘But weren’t they all surgeons? There were no internists [doctors specializing in internal medicine].’
Perhaps because of the drama inherent in surgery, most dramas and novels featured surgeons as the main characters.
What Grandpa needed now was not surgical, but internal medicine treatment.
‘Well, for internal medicine, diagnosis and prescription are the most important things… Both rely too much on modern medical technology.’
There are limitations to bringing them into a fantasy world.
‘Then, a saintess female lead after all?’
But most of the saintess female leads I know had limitations in using divine power to heal others.
Turns out they were cutting down their own life force, and so on.
‘When I watched it, I called it sweet potato [a frustrating situation], but I understood the setting for the sake of plausibility….’
What would happen to that world if you could heal people indefinitely without any restrictions?
But now that I need that ability, I only felt resentment, not understanding.
“Ha… Just ignore that plausibility and write it. It’s a fantasy anyway, did you really have to care so much about plausibility?”
Blaming the innocent writer wouldn’t make the existing setting disappear.
‘Hoo… Is that all there is?’
Mysterious Eastern medicine.
K-Korean medicine.
Whenever I happened to pass by a neighborhood Korean medicine clinic, I could see grandmothers chatting as if they were having a meeting.
That’s how excellent Korean medicine clinics are for the elderly to warm their bodies and recover their energy.
And the female lead of the book I’m trying to summon wasn’t just a Korean medicine doctor.
She was even a saintess.
Turns out the heroine’s acupuncture and herbal medicine had divine power infused in them, so they were so effective!
‘It was a setting.’
Divine power was just a bonus!
There were no particular restrictions because she wasn’t just saving people with divine power.
Good.
‘With this ability…!’
“Novel Summon!”
[Please state the 〈Novel〉 to summon.]
“〈I’m a Korean Medicine Doctor, Not a Saintess!〉!”
[Using cache to summon the novel 〈I’m a Korean Medicine Doctor, Not a Saintess!〉.]
[Using the trait 〈Rush and Cash〉 to extract the female lead’s ability from the 〈Novel〉.]
Parararak一.
Akitus shone and the pages turned by themselves.
At the same time as the written letters were erased, new letters were engraved.
The particles of light flowing from the book combined and turned into six heart-cut crystals.
Two abilities currently applied, two abilities in the ability storage.
So, out of the ten abilities that could be extracted, six came out, excluding four.
‘Six is enough. The ability the female lead uses the most is the Korean medicine doctor ability.’
As a result of using abilities for many years, I stopped believing in my luck.
With so many, one of them will be the one I want if I pick them!
With that mindset, I reached out without any pressure.
[You have selected the ability 〈Am I Back?〉.]
As expected, the name of the ability had nothing to do with Korean medicine.
Of course, it wouldn’t be easy to get it from the start.
It seemed to be the scene where the dimension-traveling female lead finally chooses between Earth and the fantasy world.
[Equipping the ability.]
[Ability 〈Am I Back?〉]
– Empathy Phrase:
The summoned acupuncture needles were, as expected, thoroughly sterilized.
I started with the Yintang [between the eyebrows], Sluggish, and Taiyang [temple area] acupoints and placed the needles in order.
‘But this is a disease that is difficult to treat with acupuncture alone.’
My acupuncture has been strangely effective since I came here, but this time I had to use medicinal herbs.
‘But how do I get medicinal herbs here?’
Even if there are the same medicinal herbs, will they have the same effect?
‘What should I do? If I can’t save him, he might really kill me.’
Tears welled up.
It was then.
The scar that had formed while traveling through dimensions stung.
When I rolled up my sleeves, the scar, which looked like a complex pattern, was glowing red.
‘This is…!’
The same thing happened when I first summoned the acupuncture needles.
But unlike then, the light that burst out from the pattern enveloped me.
And when I opened my eyes, I was not in the Emperor’s bedroom, but in a completely different place.
A place that was very familiar to me.
It was my Korean medicine clinic, which had just opened and was filled with all the medicinal herbs.
This is the scene where the female lead of 〈I’m a Korean Medicine Doctor, Not a Saintess!〉 summoned her Korean medicine clinic for the first time.
She summoned acupuncture needles and a Korean medicine clinic with divine power and spread K-medicine in the K-Romance Fantasy world.
How to use this ability is entirely up to the reader.
– Ability Effect: You can summon acupuncture needles and a Korean medicine clinic infused with divine power to spread K-medicine.
– Number of Uses Available: 3/3
“Hoo….”
They say you can only have everything when you give up everything?
When I let go of my greed, what I wanted naturally came into my hands.
I personally realized the teachings of the ancient sages.
‘That’s it!’
I stopped acting like a Confucian scholar and jumped up and down.
‘To be honest, I was nervous that a strange passive skill would come out, but it came out all at once!’
This is because my sincere filial piety reached the heavens!
K-Korean medicine and K-Confucian girl are one!
While thinking nonsense in joy, I rolled off the bed.
“Let’s go! To save my grandpa!”
* * *
“Miss, are you back because you’re worried about the Marquis? You must have been very surprised too, you should rest…”
“No. I’m going to try to treat Grandpa.”
“Are you saying that, Miss?”
The doctor asked with surprised eyes, but he didn’t stop me.
It was rumored that I had deep knowledge in the medical field because I had developed a cure for the Black Death.
And all the doctors in our family were friendly to me.
‘It’s not like they haven’t been saved by me once or twice.’
“I remembered a book I read a long time ago. It said there’s a good treatment for the elderly who have weakened energy. It’s from another continent…”
I took out the acupuncture needle case that I had summoned in advance.
“Ah, acupuncture?”
“You know it?”
“I heard it’s a medical technique used in the ancient mythological era.”
Oh, as expected, a world made with reference to K-Romance Fantasy!
There’s everything.
“But it is a medical technique that has now been lost. It’s a medical technique from mythology, how can you do it now…”
Before I even treated Grandpa, the doctors already had a look of looking at something great.
They are also well prepared to promote Korean medicine.
It’s easy for me, but it’s a bit cringe.
“Did you figure out all the lost parts by looking at the few remaining records? As expected, Miss…! You are really amazing!”
Ugh, it’s not a little.
It’s completely cringe.
No matter how much my influence in the Paeraton Duchy and Duchy has reached its maximum thanks to the totem 〈Cochon Chicken Main Store〉.
Thanks to that, the territory residents will unconditionally support, love, and unite with me….
“I don’t know everything either. I barely figured out how to treat Grandpa’s case.”
“That’s enough! You are truly humble, Miss.”
“…Keep a good record of it next to me.”
“Yes, Miss!”
Anyway, they were competent doctors.
It would be good to record what I’m doing now and use it when there are similar cases.
‘Good.’
I approached Grandpa and took his hand.
‘Ability 〈Am I Back?〉 activated.’
[Activating the ability 〈Am I Back?〉.]
[Pointing out the treatment target…designation complete. Tarenka Marquis.]
It hurt my heart to see Grandpa, who was not moving.
‘I will definitely make Grandpa better.’
But.
[Insert the needle perpendicularly into the Yintang acupoint to a depth of one inch.]
…Where is the Yintang acupoint?
What is one inch depth?
[The 〈Korean Medicine Doctor〉’s Korean medicine knowledge is so low that she doesn’t even have basic common sense.]
[Changing the notification method for the user’s convenience…change complete.]
‘No, it’s natural that I don’t have knowledge since I’m not a real Korean medicine doctor!’
I pouted my lips, but I was still relieved.
It’s a relief that it’s an ability that takes good care of the user’s convenience, even though the words are harsh (?).
Soon, a red dot was marked on Grandpa’s body.
‘Ah, it’s a mark of the acupoint to put the needle in.’
You should have done this earlier.
I inserted the needle without hesitation.
There was no reason to hesitate even more because the angle and depth were marked with a red line on the needle.
“Oh, amazing! Not a drop of blood came out!”
“That unhesitating hand movement! You have already perfectly mastered it, Miss?”
“Write it down quickly! Don’t miss a single one!”
“…”
No, I’m just using a cheat key to insert it as I see it.
I was embarrassed, but anyway, I quickly inserted all the needles.
As I touched Grandpa’s arms and legs, they were so dry that my heart ached.
‘Good, if I just leave it like this for 15 minutes….’
“Remove the needles after 15 minutes.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“I’ll make a herbal medicine to replenish Grandpa’s energy.”
I looked at the prescription that appeared in front of me.
Sipjeondaebo-tang [a herbal medicine]
Kongjindan [a herbal medicine]
Both were names that even I, who had never set foot in a Korean medicine clinic, was familiar with.
‘I have to pretend to get the ingredients.’
I returned to my room, finished preparing, and summoned the Korean medicine clinic.
“Wow, it’s a real Korean medicine clinic?”
It was amazing.
“헐 [Korean slang for ‘wow’], the lights are on? There’s even an electric pot… It’s totally awesome.”
If you can summon it without restrictions, there are countless things you can use.
It was a pity that I could only use it three times.
“Can I take this physical therapy device with me?”
It won’t work outside, but if the wizards take it apart, they might be able to make something similar.
“There’s no use leaving it here, let’s just take it!”
In my opinion, there was a high probability that it would be newly created when I re-summoned it.
“Because the medicinal herbs that the female lead used were constantly refilled.”
It was said to be an ability that preserves the summoned space in its original state.
I swept the medicinal herbs into the sack I brought.
And I returned to my room with the physical therapy device, electric blanket, and sack.
Seeing my bedroom filled with physical therapy devices and sacks, I thought, ‘Did I do too much without a plan?’
‘The best way to clean this up is to leave it to Namhan [South Korea]!’
I immediately called Count Kandor and Baron Dierre.
“Miss! You called me to your room instead of your office, so now you’re finally going to make me your first servant一”
“Enough, I got this.”
When I slightly opened the bedroom door, Count Kandor asked with an absurd face.
“Where did you get it?”
“I picked it up.”
“You pick up a lot of things, Princess.”
That’s right.
Hahaha!
