410. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [180]
Guided by the nurse, I entered the examination room. There was a doctor sitting inside, looking through the dical record at hand.
「Excuse .」
「Oh, you’re Allen-kun, right?! Umu, Umu… Umu! Man, the “real thing” is truly exceptional as expected! I sohow feel “truly alive”!」
He stood up vigorously with gleaming eyes and held both my hands firmly.
「Well, uhmm…」
「Oops, sorry! I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Hap Torne. Feel free to call Dr. Hap!」
「Nice to et you, I’m Allen Rodore.」
Hap Torne.
He had no hair on the top of his head, and only white hair remained on both sides.
He was quite small, about 130 centiters tall. And probably over eighty years old.
He was wearing thick-lens glasses, under which were big goggling eyes, and a trimd white mustache. A face you cannot forget once you see it.
He wore a tight white coat over a black shirt that seed a bit too tight in size, and a flashy pink tie. A man with quite a unique fashion sense.
(This person is Dr. Hap Torne, huh…)
I rember the president saying, “He’s an excellent doctor, but is a person with a slightly bad habit”.
「Please take a seat. “Ti is money, and the walls have ears.”」
「I-I see…」
While half-heartedly replying to the mysterious proverb, I took a seat on a round chair as told.
Dr. Hap, who seed to be in a very good mood, vigorously sat on a legless tatami chair.
「Oh, I am so happy! I never thought that the day would co when I could examine Allen-kun so soon!」
「Do you know ?」
「Of course. There’s no doctor in the dical world who doesn’t know of you. If there’s such a fool, it’s definitely soone who lives in a cave.」
「…?」
「That reaction of yours… Apparently, you don’t seem to be aware of it. Here, read this article carefully.」
He took out a paper laminated on both sides from a drawer of his desk.
「…”dical newspaper”? What’s this!?」
There was a photo of and Chemy-san, the director of White Lily Academy, covering the whole page.
「This newspaper article is an extra that was specially distributed to doctors of dicine all over the world! It is a reminder of the success of the “Anti-curse treatnt research” conducted by Allen Rodore and Ms. Chemy Festa in secret!」
Dr. Hap closed his eyes partly after talking excitedly.
「Approximately two months ago, I and other doctors around the world and recovery-type soul dress users were desperate to find an effective cure for the “Curse”. The demonkin that appeared suddenly spread their curse on a trendous number of people…」
On New Year’s Day, the demons assaulted the Five Great Powers.
I drove off one of them, Zerey Grazario.
「Under the guidance of the Holy Knights Society, huge capital and the best minds were gathered from all over the world. At that ti, I was completely absorbed in research, day and night. I had heated discussions with the young minds who disagreed with this old man, but… the research was too slow, and I couldn’t find even the slightest clue. That was when “this” appeared.」
Dr. Hap said, pointing to the headline of the newspaper article.
『A research team of the Ringuard Imperial Kingdom succeeds in developing a silver bullet for curse – The Allen Cell! Chief Researcher: Chemy Festa! Cooperator: Evil Emperor Allen Rodore!』
I felt sowhat a strong bad vibes from the title of the article, but… well, it’s fine for now.
「All of our eyes widened in astonishnt, studied deep into the papers published by Ms. Chemy, thanked the advancent of science– and also felt deep jealousy. Everyone had strong ambitions of wanting to be the one who saves humanity from curses, you see…」
He had a complicated expression while speaking in a self-deprecating tone.
「Anyway, humanity has overco the curse through research on anti-curse treatnt by Allen-kun and Ms. Chemy! Ms. Chemy, who was originally known as “the world’s best doctor of dicine”, gained further fa and honor — and Allen Rodore, who is said to have provided a valuable sample in the developnt of the drug! This na, which was also adopted for the new dicine “Allen Cell”, sent great waves through the dical world!」
「I-I see…」
「All the doctors in the world are hungering for a chance to thoroughly examine Allen-kun’s body carefully! Of course, I am one of them too! In fact, in the ranking conducted by the dical Association on the most desired “Dissection Specins”, you rank first place in the world! The difference in score between the second rank, Demons, is almost triple digits!」
The doctor’s eyes were shining almost dazzlingly.
「I-Is that so…?」
I want to abolish such a dangerous sounding ranking right away.
(…Is it really okay to consult this doctor?)
A bit of anxiety rushed in like waves.
「Oops, the introduction has taken a bit too long. Well, ahem. As a result of examining Allen-kun’s body using the latest precision machine, there is no problem with your body.」
「Oh, that’s good–」
「Well, let’s set aside such a trivial matter and get into the “main subject”!」
「H-Huh…?」
For , this is the main subject, though.
Apparently, Dr. Hap has sothing more to talk about.
