Episode 471 Running Clinic (1)
…sparkling.
The dew on the leaves sparkled. Now that I think about it, it seems to be morning. Bone Dragon Tusik gently lifted the large skull. Bright sunlight penetrated the orbital cavity. A corner of the garden where traces of the night have already been shaken off. This place has now become his home. No, maybe this is another refuge.
“Toudouan….”
But it’s sad.
On the one hand, it hurts.
Because of the news I heard yesterday. Ever since he heard that his master Rakiel had brought back many dead people from hell. After realizing that the dead were the people who died because of him.
I couldn’t sleep.
I couldn’t even stretch my feet.
I didn’t even dare to sigh.
Because I have no right to do that. Even suffering and feeling sorry would be nothing more than a luxury in front of the victims.
It was from then on.
Tusik was hiding in the opposite corner of the garden, furthest away from the victims. I buried my head deep in the ground and couldn’t even breathe. It was because I couldn’t raise my head. I’m so sorry. Because I’m embarrassed. Because I hate myself.
so.
I thought it would be better to die.
“Dduduu….”
Is that really true? Wouldn’t that be better? Wouldn’t that be better than acting like this, shamelessly walking around alive after causing the death of countless people? Wouldn’t that be the right way?
But I don’t know how I should die. I can’t think of a way to end this tough life. So I hated myself even more. It was hateful. It would be better if I could just rip a core like this into pieces with my own two hands. Even that didn’t work out because I didn’t have enough strength, so my disgust with myself only grew stronger.
“Duuuuk… Duduuuuuu…”
I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t know. But I’m more sorry that I didn’t know. I just wanted to reach out to you and didn’t know that your reaction was terminal. Of course I know this. Saying sorry is never an excuse. That it shouldn’t even be a reason. No matter how I apologize or dress up, in the end, I am the one who massacred you. That’s the only truth.
So I….
“Ddu duuuu….”
Shall I leave?
If you can’t die on your own, wouldn’t it be better to go and stay somewhere no one will find you? Wouldn’t it be the right punishment to spend tens of thousands of years in loneliness, with no one by your side, and then turn to dust?
Suddenly, I thought that would be a good idea. Tusik slowly got up from his stiff body. It was then.
“Nuhuh? Wildebeest?”
A reassuring sound of snoring coming from nearby. Uncle Urus asked worriedly. Are you okay now? Come to think of it, Uncle Urus has been by my side since yesterday. But I was so out of my mind that I didn’t even know that.
So now I will disappear.
Tusik smiled sadly and tried to tell Urus his plan. But I couldn’t. This was because Urus started gesticulating first.
“Nuuu! Wildebeest! Purr!”
“Touuu…?”
yes?
Master Rachiel is looking for me? Did I tell you to run right now?
At first, I thought I had heard wrong.
But it wasn’t.
“Purp! Wildebeest! “Nuuu!”
Uncle Urus nodded, waving his huge horn. That’s right. Rachiel called. He said he was calling because he had something really important to do, so he told me to come quickly to the lobby of the annex Oriental Medicine Clinic building.
“….”
What is happening?
Tusik thought for a moment. Should I answer that call? However, the worries did not last long. I thought that if I was going to leave anyway, it would be better to reveal my intention to the owner and leave cleanly.
So, let’s go for now.
Let’s go and hear the matter and make my intentions known.
“Touuu tou.”
all right.
Tusik moved his heavy body. I went to the annex oriental medicine clinic. His master was there. Raquiel Adria Magentano. A benefactor who corrected his imperfect core and gave him a new chance at life. But now he is the one who has to leave.
“How are you?”
“Touuu….”
“Why is your answer so lackluster?”
“Touu….”
“Hmm, so you heard the news?”
“Too too….”
“Then it’s worth it. “I already called you because of that, Tushik.”
“…Tou?”
“The dead. “The people I brought from hell.”
“Ddu….”
Du-shik faintly nods his skull with difficulty.
It was clear that he had been in a lot of emotional distress all day.
Rakiel felt sad. But it wasn’t revealed. Rather, he stated his business in a non-serious tone of voice and in his usual casual manner, as if discussing ordinary matters.
“Actually, the dead are in a bit of an awkward situation.”
“Duh…u?”
“It’s complicated to explain, but if you don’t drive at 65 kilometers per hour, you’ll be lost forever, like you’re pushed out of the world.”
“Touuu?”
What does that mean?
Tusik tilted his skull.
Rachiel smiled faintly.
“That’s why I can’t treat them. “No matter how I am, it is very difficult to treat someone who is sprinting.”
“Dduduu…?”
“So I need a solution. “I think I’ll need help from you and Urus.”
“Ddu duuuu?”
“Is it possible to keep running at 65 kilometers per hour with a large cart attached? “24 hours without rest.”
“…Tou?”
“Then, I think one of those dead people riding the cart can stop running for a moment. “I might be able to see a doctor in the meantime.”
“Too….”
“So to speak, um, maybe it’s some kind of large ambulance cart? It also doubles as a moving treatment room. how is it?”
“…Touuu? Ddu-du? “Ddu-du-du?”
“yes. It would help a lot if you did that. To those people.”
“Ddu duu!”
I’ll do it!
Tusik nodded his head. thought? That wasn’t the reaction I got after doing something like that. The words that it would be ‘help’ to those victims made Tusik’s core pound. It made me nod without realizing it.
“good. “Thank you for making that decision.”
A happy smile appeared on Rachiel’s lips. Like the real-life version of the Red Queen hypothesis, the dead must run endlessly to maintain their current position. A way to take a break from running for a little while so that I can provide some medical care to them. The solution I came up with while thinking about it was the method I just suggested to Tusik.
“Then let’s get ready right away.”
Preparations were made quickly.
Two very large carts used in a logging yard on the outskirts of Hwangdo were airlifted. The bottom of the cart was neatly repaired and tiles were laid for hygiene purposes. A waterproof tent was placed around it. Equipped with medical beds and facilities.
And the sacred magic circle of the priests was engraved on each cart. It was a type of magic circle that exerted binding power on the dead who came into contact with the top of the cart. Of course it wasn’t easy. The majority of priests from the Imperial Diocese were mobilized. Only then was he able to create a magic circle the size of two carts.
On the other hand, we also carefully prepared a temporary track for Tusik and Urus to run while pulling the cart. I couldn’t just let him run on the dirt. An ordinary dirt floor would not be able to withstand the endless running of two monsters, Tusik and Urus. Perhaps in less than half a day, a huge pit will be dug. So the construction proceeded.
“For the construction method, we plan to refer to the recorded design drawings of the Appian Road in the Frontera territory, Your Highness.”
“Yeah, that’s a good decision.”
Construction progressed quickly under the supervision of the palace chamberlain. The ground was dug to a depth of 1 meter. Stones and sand of various sizes were meticulously filled from the bottom. Several layers of paving stones were laid on top of it. The final top surface was covered with an additional large, flat piece of granite.
This completes the track for the ambulance clinic!
“So, are you ready to run?”
“Ddu duu!”
“Neuu!”
“Once the dead get on the cart, the cart will start to pull back. As soon as you feel it, run. Same as the pulling speed. So that you can run in place. got it?”
“Doudu!”
“Nuuuu purr!”
Tusik and Urus took a running stance. And the long-awaited(?) first patient arrived in a cart.
“omg! Huh! Whoosh whoosh!”
“Now, do you see the cart over there? “You can ride!”
“Ugh, it’s hard, Your Majesty!”
“Not here, your highness, but the director! And you can do it! Let’s do our best!”
“…Yep yep! “Ew!”
The dead village chief Ivorjak slowly moved to the side, running in place at 65 kilometers per hour. And with a desperate spirit, he launched himself towards the cart. I barely got on board.
It was that moment.
…Kwahahaha!
The sacred magic circle engraved on the cart was activated. Chief Ivorzak, who was riding on a cart, was tied to the cart. Then the cart began rolling backwards at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour.
“now!”
Rachiel shouted.
Tusik reacted.
“Touuuu!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Dusik’s four feet kicked against the granite track. I started running furiously. The cart carrying Chief Ivorjak ran and used just as much force as it was trying to be pushed back.
The result was successful.
Tukwagwagwakkk-!
The cart wheel spun furiously in place. Tusik and the cart began to run in place as if they were running on an invisible treadmill.
Thanks to this, the village chief on the cart was able to stop running for the first time.
“Wow! Haha haha! “What is this…?”
The village chief took a deep breath and lay down inside the cart. In fact, he was confused. I honestly didn’t understand why I had to keep running so hard as soon as I got out of hell, and why I didn’t have to run now that I was on the cart.
But even then, one thing was certain.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ” “Now she’s feeling a little more alive, Your Highness… No, Director.”
If you get on this cart, you don’t have to run.
Like this, you can lie down or sit comfortably.
That fact was a small consolation to the village chief.
“is that so. “Then shall we begin treatment?”
“…yes?”
“You said you have arthritis, I guess?”
“Oh yeah. My shoulder is a little…”
“Let me see, then?”
Rakiel began treatment naturally and with a skillful attitude. In the meantime, Tusik ran hard. He was worried that the dead might recognize him and be shocked or frightened. To prevent such a situation, I am grateful for the existence of a tent that has been placed generously between the cart and myself.
Running.
Running again.
I ran without stopping.
The village chief, who had safely completed the first medical treatment, got off the cart and ran when the next dead person got on. The same thing happened when the next patient and the next patient got on board. I ran like that all day. As if that was the only atonement he could make. No, I don’t think it matters even if they say that this can’t atone for anything.
Even if all of his bones are broken, crushed, and torn apart until all those who have become dead because of him safely enter the gate of reincarnation. Still, I will keep running.
I promised.
I was prepared.
Maybe that was why I didn’t know.
…sparkle.
As if by chance, a drop of dew on a leaf somewhere flew by on the wind. It quietly flowed down, moistening the corners of Tusik’s eyes.
