How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 24

Published at 11th of November 2022 08:13:35 PM

“Help! Somebody Help”

I immediately ran in the direction of the voice.

The lady next door also followed me from behind.

People were gathering in a place not far from where the battle took place.

I went through the crowd.

I found Uncle, lying down on the ground unconsciously and Aunt kneeling on the ground and weeping.

“Uncle !”

“Si.”

“What happened Aunty ? Why is Uncle like this ?”

“I don’t know either. Cracks formed and when we tried to get away from this place, suddenly it became difficult for him to breathe and then he just collapsed like this.”

Uncle panted as if he was about to run out of breath any minute, and his whole body was trembling.

I hurriedly pulled out my cell phone and checked the screen.

As before, there was no signal.

It was evident that the crack had not yet disappeared.

“Excuse me.  Let me through.”

Few seconds later, the lady next door came through the crowd.

As soon as she arrived, she skilfully monitored Uncle’s condition.

“What is he for you?”

“He…… He is my husband.”

“Did he ever had any chronic illness?”

“No. He’s a person who doesn’t usually go to the hospital…”

“Ummm.”

After checking this and that, her face suddenly darkened.

“I think it’s a temporary ‘mana shock’.”

“A mana shock ?”

“If you are suddenly affected by mana due to the influence of a rift, this symptom appears depending on the person.”

“Then what should we do?”

“He needs to get treatment from a medical professional right away or use a potion as a temporary measure…

Aunt looked around the people and cried.

“Does anyone have any healing potions?”

“Please help my husband. I’ll pay you back somehow later.”

“It’s a healing potion. Anyone who has one !”

I also desperately searched for a healing potion, but it was not something that ordinary people would carry on a daily basis.

People around us only made sad faces.

“Huh. Ahhhhhhh……dear….”

“Honey, Please……”

The sound of the Uncle’s breathing gradually became fainter.

“Brother! How did this happen?”

“mom.”

Mother, who came after hearing the noise around the place, cried out in surprise when she saw the appearance of uncle.

At that time…..

The bag in mother’s hands caught my eyes.

It immediately reminded me of Hermosa’s Milk’ in the bag.

“Mom, give me the bag.”

“Huh?”

Mother took the bag and gave it to me in a confused expression.

I took out the glass bottle of Hermosa’s milk.

I wasn’t sure

But, leaving it like this………

I couldn’t help but hope for the best.

I opened the lid of the glass bottle and approached  uncle.

“Please help me.”

With the help of my mother and aunt, I lifted uncle to a position, where he would be able to drink the milk.

Seeing this, the lady next door interrupted me.

“What are you going to do now? Giving him anything could make his condition more dangerous.”

At those words, aunt’s expression started filling with fear.

Then my mother held aunt’s hand tightly.

“Sister, Believe in Si.”

At my mother’s words, aunt nodded her head hard, while crying.

I supported uncle’s head and poured Hermosa’s milk little by little into my mouth.

-gulp. gulp.

Fortunately,  uncle drank it without much resistance.

When the glass bottle was half empty.

His breathing became steady, and he slowly began to regain his consciousness.

“Ummm. Ummm.”

“Uncle ! Uncle ! Can you hear me?”

“Is it Si ? What are you doing here ?”

When uncle had recovered enough to recognize the surroundings, aunt once again burst into tears.

“Ahhhhhh. What a relief. honey!”

“Hey, why are you crying. What the hell is going on?”

“Uncle, is there any uncomfortable feeling?”

“I can’t remember well, I think I’m fine now.”

Me and my mother, as well as everyone around me, breathed a sigh of relief.

The lady next door quietly watched all of this.

She looked at me with a very strange expression.

I deliberately pretended as if I didn’t see her gaze.

When uncle got fully recovered and got up again.

The space blocked by the crack was distorted, and armed people started appeared.

“Crack suppression team. Are you all safe?”

“Where is the monster?”.

“It’s okay…..I’m saying it’s okay.”

“Sir. Mana shock can have severe side effects. Let’s go to the hospital and get a detailed examination.”

“I have to help the strawberry farm tomorrow.”

“Honey! Does that matter now?!”

“ Huh…..Okay……”

At the persuasion of the paramedics and the shouting of aunt, uncle shut his mouth and got into the ambulance.

When they arrived at the hospital, I asked them to call me, and then the ambulance carrying uncle and aunt left.

There were a lot of people around the site where the crack had formed.

The onlookers, the controlling police, and the team disposing the corpses of the monsters.

There was even a reporter trying to catch a scoop due to the rare occurrence of a crack.

Especially. The lady next door, who had dealt with the monsters alone, was being interviewed with a huge flash, as if she had come to a press conference.

After a few questions from the attendant staff and a brief health check from the paramedics, me and my mother were told it was okay for us to go home.

The moment I took out the cell phone to find the hospital to which uncle was transferred, the phone rang as if it had been waiting.

“Ryan?”

–  Shihyeon. I was worried when I heard about the news that there was a crack nearby, so I called. It did not connect for a long time.

“Yes. I just came out of the rift.”

-Ugh! Are you all right? If there are any injuries, I will…

“Ah. It’s okay. Don’t worry.”

Ryan only calmed his excitement after being told it was okay over and over again.

– Ugh. something like this happened near the house I introduced you to. I have no face to face you.

“It’s not Ryan’s fault. Ah…and other than that…”

I explained about my uncle, who was in danger of mana shock, and me giving him Hermosa’s milk.

– That’s a very interesting story. Yakum’s milk cured the symptoms of mana shock.

“Is it okay ? I was in a hurry to save him, but from what you said last time…..…”

-Of course, you have to be careful to keep it secret, but this is unavoidable.

“Thank you.”

– No, It’s alright. However, I think it would be good to think about talking about in moderation. We don’t want Sihyeon to be noticed yet.

Finally, the call with Ryan ended by telling me to contact him anytime if I had any problems.

Me and my mother visited the hospital where my uncle was transferred.

Although the results of the detailed examination have not yet been released, the doctor said that it is not at a level to be worried about.

It was decided that uncle would be hospitalized for a while until the results of the detailed examination came out.

He complained for a while saying that there would be a shortage of workers on the farm, but uncle quickly bit his mouth at aunt’s nagging.

“I heard you saved me while I was down, thank you, Si.”

“Thank you so much Si.”

Uncle and the aunt bowed their heads to express their gratitude.

“Don’t do this. It’s embarrassing. As the two of you helped us when we were in need, this time I helped you out. That’s all.”

'still….”

“I am rather happy. I was able repay for some of your kindness like this. So, please take it easy.”

Uncle and Aunt smiled warmly at my words.

Checking the appearance of the healthy uncle, my mother and I were able to return home with no more remorse.

“I’m glad. When brother was unconscious, I thought something serious was going to happen.”

“That’s right. I’m glad too.”

On the way home, having a conversation with my mother.

Grrrrrrrr!

There was a loud roar from my empty stomach.

“Oh, come to think of it, we haven’t even had dinner yet.”

“I didn’t even know I was hungry because things were crazy.”

“Let’s go quickly. When we get home, I’ll prepare dinner.”

I rushed my feet, imagining the table with foods, my mother would make for me.

When we arrived near the house, I saw the figure of someone wearing a hat in front of the entrance to the building.

The person found us and approached us slowly.

“you are a little late?”

“Ms. Yerin?”

She had changed her clothes and was in a much more comfortable clothes than before.

“Were you waiting for us?”

“Yes. It wasn’t a long wait, I was just about to go in. To get rid of annoying things and come out…”

“Before, I was worried about brother, so I couldn’t even say thank you properly. Did you had any injuries anywhere?”

“Fine. It’s not like I’ve done anything great.”

My mother’s expression brightened when she said that there were no injuries.

“Let’s not stand here like this, I’ll serve you a cup of tea. Come on in.”

“No. It’s too late today… Rather than that, I’d like to talk with your son alone. Is it okay?”

“With Si.?”

“……?”

My mother and I were surprised.

My mother left after leaving the message that she should come to our house after finishing the talk.

When my mother disappeared, there was a very awkward atmosphere around her.

Why she wanted to talk alone, It was a part which I could guess to some extent,

she kept staring at me piercingly.

As I looked back and forth with a nervous expression on her face, she let out a big sigh.

“Haa…”

“What… what happened ?”

“To be honest. There are so many things I want to ask you about. From moving my summon at will, to the unknown potion in the glass bottle.”

She suddenly shook her head.

“But I don’t want to force myself on the person who helped me. It is rude to ask such a question in the first place.”

“Hmmm ?”

“After all. Talking about ability is very sensitive topic.”

“It would be better to refrain from influencing other people’s summons like today, or showcasing potions with good effects.”

“Yeah. Thanks for the advice.”

“Once again, Thanks for today’s help. It’s late, so let’s go in now.”

After the conversation, the lady next door made her way into the building.

I also followed her.

She suddenly stopped and turned towards me.

“Ah! Wait a minute.”

“……?”

“Before, I was too busy to greet you properly. Take this.”

She handed me her business card.

Her name Seo Yerin and her contact information were written on it.

And there was a guild pattern called ‘Guardians’ drawn on it.

“I’m Yerin, a member of the Guardians’ Guild. It’s not a great influence, but if you need anything in this area, please contact me.”

Seo Yerin held out her hand with her dignified introduction.

I took her hand and introduced myself.

“I’m Lim Sihyeon.”

“ What….Is that it. What do you do?”

“Well… I work on a farm.”

“Hmm?”

“Are there any problems?”

“It’s not like that, I thought you belonged to a guild or a related company. Then give me your contact information.”

At her request, I gave her my number.

When the exchange of contact information was finished, the front door of the house opened and a delicious smell leaked out.

“Isn’t the small talk over yet?”

“It’s just over.”

“Did you have your dinner Yerin ? If you haven’t eaten, please come. Be our guest”

At my mother’s invitation, Yerin waved her hand.

“It’s too late today. Next time aunty……”

– Growl!!

A loud noise which was greater than the one that came from my stomach a few minutes back was heard from Yerin’s stomach.

It was so loud that there was a slight echo in the aisle in front of the house.

Yerin’s face was so red and she tried to cover it with her hat, but she couldn’t.

My mother said to the embarrassed Yerin with a deep smile.

“Ho-ho, don’t be hard on yourself, come in.”

“……then. I will gladly accept the invitation.”

Due to my mother’s strange pressure, she eventually set foot into our house.

The table was full of delicious side dishes, and Yerin enjoyed the meal enough to empty two bowls.

It goes without saying that she gave my mother a very satisfied look and thanking her with a big smile.

With that smile and the delicious food, an outrageous day came to an end.
