“Yes! Thank you again sir, you saved us every time!!”

After leaving the headquarters, shi+zuru headed for the slum

Peoplemoney with excessive interest to cornered people, the very model of disreputable

Several of such shady ree bow to shi+zuru

“I’ain as well, our Cassie is hopeless … I’ve told her again and again to return what she borrowed but still …”

Recently she’s practically had her ears shut pretending not to hear

It’s already imprinted on everyone who lends money to Casca other than shi+zuru that shi+zuru will be the one to return them

An unreasonable queen

After returning thethe capital’s east ward’s main street

His purse had gotten rather light

Have to get some more cash out from the hidden stash in the clinic, shi+zuru muttered to himself

Incidentally, he didn’t leave much money in the slum headquarters

Because Casca will discover it with her ani them all

She wouldn’t listen to anything she’s told, and doing so would only ave up

Therefore he didn’t leave money in the headquarters

“Doctor shi+zuru, good ”

“Ah, goodNice weather today, isn’t it”

Several of the people that passed hi their heads like this

shi+zuru politely greeted each and every one back

Being a skilled physician that could use healing hout the capital

In particular, within the east hich was his operating area, one person out of every three could tell where his clinic was by memory

After all, ic in this world isn’t very advanced at all

The existence of ic that could heal injuries and illnesses on the spot slowed it down somewhat

Also, ic users were a rare existence in this world

The ratio of people who has ical power, the holders, were one in every hundred people

And then they were divided into eight attributes, colors, and of theic

Furtheric holders have to study healing

One would be very lucky if one gathered a thousand people and could find a healingthem

For that reason, if shi+zuru were to find another job right now, he would have gotten one before the day was over

He had been sounded by nobles and the like, seeing whether or not he would like to work for them exclusively

In addition, shi+zuru was a ic beast Lady

He would be welcomed anywhere other than those areas that have a culture of shunning ic beasts

And yet, there’s a reason why he stayed even though he really wanted to leave Black Maria

There are actually several, but one of them was simple and clear

“… if I quit, they’re going to chase ed …”

Black Maria was an organization that based its trade on secrecy

Of course, since they needed to get customers to sell their services to, they do put their na beyond that won’t be knoithout thorough investigation

If anyone carelessly mentioned that they wanted to leave, they would need to be erased for the sake of information security

“There’s none of our targets that are still alive no o if I ran away”

To begin with, shi+zuru almost never left the capital ever since Richelieu picked hio

He only left the capital to visit nearby satellite towns several times, a real city boy

He didn’t have any connections outside the city, and he wasn’t familiar with the land, either

So in the end, he had no chance of leaving Black Maria

Another day, another thought about leaving It was still far in the future, and without even a decent plan, he sighed

While he was deep in thought, shi+zuru arrived in front of his destination, the clinic
