Before going into surgery, I took the anesthetic given to me by the medical instructor and fell asleep. How much time has passed like that?
Ssuk-.
I carefully got up. Where I am is on a soft bed. There were a few drops of blood spread around, and a bandage was rolled up over the wounded area.
As I raised my hands and moved them, I could see that I was able to move comfortably, except for a little discomfort. I never expected it to be treated so cleanly.
"Oh! You Woke up?" The medical instructor, who was pouring tea in the corner, asked, perhaps noticing my presence.
She deftly took out a teacup, filled it with tea, and handed it to me.
The warmth from the teacup. I stared blankly at it.
"What are you doing if you don't drink?"
"Ah."
"Be sure to drink it all, because I brewed it with tea leaves that are especially good for restoring energy."
"… I will drink it gratefully."
