Healer

After a while, the group had returned to the town as they were immediately treated by the town's healer.

Since their injuries were minor, Albert and Alisa headed to the guild to meet with Fila. Kyonya was following them with all the haul and prepared for the report.

When they returned, the guild fell silent as they saw them coming back.

Fila's worried expression soon changed when she saw them.

"Are you alright?" Fila asked out loud.

"We're here now to report the situation. What do you think?" Alisa rolled her eyes. "Let's end this as soon as possible. I still need to dress my wound and have a healer to help me recover."

"R-right?!" Fila nodded furiously.

"Anyway, Kyonya." Alisa glanced at Kyonya, signaling him to give all the items.

Kyonya nodded and handed it to Alisa.

"There are 123 pairs of ears, including the Alpha Wolf's. We have acquired their fangs and claws as well. As for the fur, we can't acquire it right now and ask the guild to recover it."

"That many?" Fila raised her eyebrows.

"That was the reason I called for help." Kyonya nodded.

"Well, we need to check the fur first to see how much reward we can give. However, I think each wolf can bring you ten copper coins. So, if we consider some bad corpses that we can't harvest, you will get a total of ten silver coins."

"Albert deserves at least thirty percent of them because he defeated the Alpha Wolf and he was the reason we can return here without anyone dying. Give another thirty percent to the two warriors that can't continue their adventure. The rest will be discussed later after we get the number." Alisa explained.

"Okay. That can be done." Fila nodded with a serious expression and said to Albert. "Good work. As I expected, I can rely on you."

"Thank you." Albert smiled.

"Anyway, I will bring him tomorrow to the Sulty Town to get a blessing. After seeing his fighting style, I believe he can do much more after getting a job. That's why he needs to get one as soon as possible. It's not going to take that long with the horse, so tomorrow will be perfect since we can treat it as a rest as well."

Fila frowned and asked, "Is there a need to do that? We can wait for the merchant to come. It's only three days… no, two days."

"If he gets it tomorrow, he can hunt and do much more the day after. Besides, the merchant is greedy. It's better to treat this as the subjugation reward."

Fila looked down for a moment before biting her nail.

"Why do you look annoyed?" Alisa raised her eyebrows.

"…" Fila clicked her tongue and said, "Fine. You can bring him to Sulty Town."

"That's good." Alisa nodded and turned around, patting Albert's shoulder. "Alright. Let's go to the healer. After that, we will need to move the corpses so that the butcher can dismantle them."

"I understand." Albert agreed and followed her.

After walking for a while, they saw a one-horned oni touching the wounded adventurers. His hands were enveloped by a golden light as if he was performing a miracle.

'This is another world indeed. This is the first time I see a glowing hand… Though, I have seen a glowing sword…' Albert thought while glancing at Alisa.

"How are they?" Alisa asked.

"I have closed their wounds, but some of them have lost so much blood… So, I think they will have a fever tonight and tomorrow."

"That's good. At least they are alive." Alisa nodded with a poker face.

"Still, look at your body. There are a few bite marks and bruises. It's surprising that you didn't collapse."

"My body is sturdier than theirs." Alisa shrugged. "Not gonna have a fever today."

"Well, that might be true, but you will still need to take some medicine to boost your recovery rate."

"I know." Alisa sighed and took off her bandages before sitting on the ground. "Now."

The man nodded and came closer to Alisa with his glowing hands. He then grabbed the wound on her left shoulder.

"Mhm." Alisa let out a small moan and frowned. She was enduring the pain of her wound being touched.

'She has endured all this while commanding the group…' Albert was amazed by Alisa. He never thought there was someone this strong in this town.

He looked at the bandage on his shoulder and muttered inwardly, 'The pain is bearable, but it's because there's only one wound in my body. If the wounds were much worse, I don't think I could perform like she did.'

Alisa's strong fortitude made Albert respect her.

After getting wrapped in that light for a minute, the wound closed. The man then continued working on other wounds.

It might be due to his professionalism that he maintained his poker face and didn't do anything weird or it might be due to Alisa's strong personality that made the healer fear for his life if he did something weird, but the treatment ended after ten minutes.

"Alright. You're good to go." The man nodded after closing all the wounds.

Alisa raised her hands and stretched her body. After making sure the pain in each wound had decreased, she said, "Alright. This is good enough. Thanks."

"No problem." The man then turned to Albert. "Please sit down."

Albert followed his instruction and crossed his legs.

Alisa helped him open the bandage while the healer touched the wounds with his hands.

"Kh." Albert gritted his teeth and tried to endure the pain.

"Oh, he's strong enough to endure it…" The healer smirked.

"Yeah. He's a strong fighter as well. If only you can get stronger and acquire another skill that can heal us without touching." Alisa narrowed her eyes.

"Hoho, that's impossible."

"Because you're a pervert."

"I don't deny it, but I'm the only healer here." He shrugged.

Albert's eyebrows twitched as he was thinking, 'What the hell are these two talking about?'
