I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

72 – Encounters on the Journey (6)

“Wait a minute. Shigure is the first friend I brought with me, so I’ve been holding back until now, but I can’t stand it any longer.”

At my words, one of the uncles in the seat stood up with a frown on his face.

“Hey, you, if what I’ve heard so far is correct, you seem to be saying that you’re going to fix it with your own hands, which is serious enough to be compared to stomatitis, but did I understand it correctly?”

“Yes, you heard correctly.”

“Yeah, since you’ve been in the circle, you must be talented. But even so, do you think we will blindly believe in the skills of a young guy who has just become an adult?”

Others, who had not risen from their seats at his words, nodded their heads subtly in agreement.

Of course.

There may be people who easily see it as it comes out of all sorts of novels, but in this world, arteriosclerosis was never an easily treatable disease.

It was a world where it was possible to treat terminal cancer through the development of medicine, but even in such a world, arthropathy, which is classified as a genetic disease, belonged to an incurable disease.

No, the incurable disease also refers to arthropathy of the 1st to 3rd level.

If you go up from stage 4 to stage 6, arthropathy is classified as an incurable disease that cannot be treated with conventional treatment.

But just a moment ago, I said that I would cure the 9th stage, extreme arthropathy, so it was understandable that these people reacted this way.

Because of this, the response I could take in this situation was simple.

“Well, if you think so, I have nothing to say.”

“…… Is that all?”

“Yes.”

At my light response, the man stood up and looked at me with a puzzled face.

But he had nothing more to say, even with those eyes.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something, but I don’t necessarily have to help this person because I have a purpose.”

The reason I came out was because I felt like I would feel very dirty after this if I just passed by this scene in front of me.

But I have already reached out to this person.

Shrug-

“If this person refuses my help and wants someone else’s help, there’s no reason for me to stop it.”

My situation has already been resolved.

I said something in the process, so if they asked me for help, they would nod, but if not, I didn’t think to do anything more.

“That…… “

As if Do Yoo-jin’s thoughts were conveyed, the man who stood up as well as other people who were quietly watching the situation looked at Do Yoo-jin with complicated eyes without saying anything.

With one simple word, the atmosphere in the banquet room was completely different from before.

Do Yoo-jin, who had received sharp glances from everyone in the seat just a moment ago, but now, on the contrary, stepped on everyone in the seat and stood on top of them.

Ssiik-

“You have a more manly side than you look, don’t you?”

“I don’t want to stand out, but I think you should know at least how to speak your own voice in a world where you will be ignored if you stay still.”

I said that and looked at the laughing head.

“As I have already said, you do not have to ask me to treat you. You can refuse my treatment and call someone else if you want.”

“Hmm…… I can’t stand my curiosity, so can you tell me what to do if I refuse to seek treatment from you?”

Because it’s an action, I didn’t intend to do anything grandiose.

“I have no intention of doing anything specific. Ah, but it seems a bit awkward to be here, so I think I’ll simply tell the village what to do and then leave.”

“A village?”

“Are you saying that there is something wrong in our town right now?”

At my word, the expressions of the people around me changed once again.

“I already told you that it is close to a curse.”

During our conversation here, I couldn’t understand the fact that arteriosclerosis could be created at least to the extent of a glass of wine, so I stretched out my invisibility shadow and briefly surveyed the town.

Thanks to you, I was able to find out.

“Alcohol only serves as a facilitator. It seems to me that the real reason you all have arteriosclerosis is a curse that has been placed on the entire village.”

“There was a curse on the whole village?”

“What the hell…… “

“I think it was done by a monster with intelligence, or youkai, but…… I don’t even know what kind of guy did this.”

As I said that, I realized the answer to why this town hadn’t been discovered by the players.

Downfall.

Before the player came here, something had already disappeared without a trace, so it could not be found.

‘Anyway, I don’t know what kind of guy did this. A decent guy wouldn’t even think of doing something like this.’

So when I was guessing about the culprit who turned this village into a whirlpool of curses.

“Okay! I won’t let you treat me.”

The leader looked at me and said coolly.

“Chief!”

I was about to get a counterargument.

“Stop it, I will die anyway.”

The leader silenced their objections with a single word.

“It is a curse that has grown to the level of the oral syllable…… The quality is bad.”

Having silenced those around him, he tapped near his own heart.

“Until now, I had been quiet without even realizing it was there, and since he told me the truth, he has been making a fuss about eating my body.”

“I can’t…… “

“If you don’t believe me, try turning your magic once. Perhaps you can feel a sensation similar to what I am feeling right now.”

At the words of the leader, everyone sat cross-legged and moved the magic inside their bodies.

It was as if he wanted to contradict his words even a little bit.

“Huh…… “

“How could this be…… “

But all those who had closed their eyes, when they opened them again, were silent with gloomy faces.

“I feel that even if I suppress my vitality as much as possible by using the Demonic Diet, I will only be able to survive for about a week. And realistically, it would be unreasonable to find a doctor skilled in arthropathy hidden somewhere during that time and bring him here.”

f*ck-!

“So, my conclusion is that I will trust the friend my daughter brought, even if it is uncertain.”

At the words of the leader, everyone quietly bowed their heads.

He took one look at the crowd and then looked at me.

“Just one question, why did you think it was a monster that attacked us?”

“I will keep that part a secret.”

When I put a shadow inside my body a little while ago, if I said that I felt the monster’s specific evil thoughts, I thought the evaluation of me would be raised too high, so I turned around.

“Why?”

“…… Nothing.”

As long as Erio is here, I wanted to avoid doing anything to raise my opinion as much as possible.

Because it was obvious that even now, the evaluation of me in Erio was in full swing.

“Hmm, is that a secret move? Not bad.”

Fortunately, the other side didn’t seem to want to question me too much.

“Well, I don’t know how you came to the conclusion that the culprit was a youkai, but you’re probably right. In fact, before our village became famous as a ninja village, it was known as a monster hunter village.”

Ha ha ha!

“Thanks to that, there are some guys who have lived a long time and can’t eat us.”

Doryeong laughed coolly after saying that, but this time no one laughed along with his laugh.

“Then I came to the conclusion of treatment…… Now we have to treat me and then discuss.”

“Yes? What is that…… “

“Are you talking about the cost of treatment?”

“Huh? Were you guys not noticing? So far, you’re only talking about me, not you guys.”

The head said, pointing at me with her finger.

“That friend, even if I get treatment, I will only treat myself.”

“What…… !”

People looked at me urgently.

I sighed at the gaze that seemed to be staring at some kind of psychopath.

“Don’t look at me that way. I don’t know how it was made, but this curse seems to instinctively target the person at the top of the town? So your condition is not very serious.”

“Not big is specifically…… “

“If you take the elixir of the opposite attribute to the dark attribute, you’ll probably be fine.

At that, everyone let out a small sigh of relief.

In the meantime, one of them suddenly raised his head and shouted.

“Wait! So, are the children in this town okay?”

Dou-jin stared at her at the words of the woman who looked like her aunt who was carrying her food.

“I don’t know about that part. We don’t know what the guy who cursed this village was thinking when he cursed it.”

“That, that…… “

She trembled at Dou-jin’s words and hurriedly kicked out the door.

It seemed to go towards her own child.

And starting with her, other people immediately started to leave.

Do Yoo-jin looked at them for a while, and Du-ryeong looked at Do Yoo-jin and said.

“You must have really liked your parents.”

“…… They were both really nice people.”

After Dou-jin said that, she shut her mouth.

At that, the head stared at Dou-jin and said.

From noble mtl dot com

“I ask, do you plan to help our village?”

“There is nothing I can’t help you with, as long as you pay well.”

The two of them had a quiet conversation starting with him.

And Erio, who was next to her, looked up at Dou-jin while listening to the conversation.

‘Why?’

Erio has always been watching Doyu Jin by her side.

Because of her

, She knew roughly that her douyujin did not want to reveal himself.

But now, she was throwing away the rules she set herself.

‘Am I saying that being a family is that important?’

-You can do it. Because you are the biggest flower born from the essence of our family!

-With your talent, we will be able to raise our family once more!

It was hard to understand for Erio, who had no particular affection for his family.

But the part that she’s precious enough to break the rules…… It touched my heart a little.

‘How am I to Eugene?’

A little curiosity overflowed in Erio’s eyes as he looked at Doujin.

And now, she wasn’t the only one who showed her curiosity towards her doujin.

‘Who the hell is that guy?’

When he first saw Doujin, Shigure didn’t pay much attention to him.

Because of his non-existent appearance, I thought he was just a butler-like existence that sticks by Erio’s side.

But what is this?

Erio, who thought he was holding the leash, found that man holding the leash on the contrary.

It was clear when I saw her abandoning her usual arrogant appearance and acting like a cute house cat.

And he grabbed Erio by the leash, and now he was talking with his father on an equal footing.

‘Alternatively…… Who is that kid?’

Thinking of that, Shigure’s eyes clung to Yujin Doujin and didn’t know how to fall.
