An S-ranked girl who is a benefactor I met in an unexpected place.
Jinseok was quite surprised and started crying.
"Huh... Mr. Kim Mito?"
Meanwhile, Mito begins to catch her breath for a moment, as if she had been running quite quickly.
"Haa, ha..."
Jinseok naturally observes her appearance.
The pure apple-haired girl who is officially one of only four S-rankers in South Korea and the master of the Four Emperors' Guild, Dainty Guild.
She was desperate to meet her guildmate, Jinseok, who was seriously injured by the Kraken's venom, so she ran in a hurry in her pink gym uniform, her fine hair disheveled and her small forehead covered in cold sweat.
however.
Did they say that jewels always shine wherever they are?
Even though she was wearing a pink gym uniform and no makeup, the apple-haired girl subtly exuded her natural, fresh beauty.
"...."
From her hair as soft and fine as fine silk, to her plump eyes reminiscent of plums, her straight nose, her cheeks with neat curves, her lips as cherries, and her milky honey skin like white jade, she naturally reveals her slim and slender body, typical of a female college student, as if metaphorically revealing her plain body (?).
Moreover, her unique fragrant body scent and the scent of shampoo wafting from her hair were captivating Jinseok.
Jinseok's cheeks flush without him realizing it at the sight of her beauty, his benefactor.
"Hmm...."
Still, he, a self-proclaimed man of the Republic of Korea, should not lose his mind in front of a beautiful woman.
Jinseok immediately greets her politely.
I am happy to see her, my benefactor.
"Mr. Mito!"
"Haah, ha... Yes, Jinseok!"
"Do you remember me? I'm the crazy guy who attacked the slime you saved a week ago during the giant slime incident!"
Mito observes Jinseok's behavior, then covers her mouth with her hand as if she is quite surprised.
"Oh, are you sure you're the brave old man from the giant slime incident... or the handsome young man?"
Mito blinks her thin eyelashes with a strange feeling and looks at Jinseok.
It was quite surprising from her point of view.
Well, Jinseok, the young man of her age whom she had helped a week ago, happened to have medical hunter skills and could help her precious guild sibling, Juyong?
and.
Was Jinseok originally this warm and handsome young man?
... When I saw him briefly at night, I thought he was a slightly older man than her!
However.
Now that Joo Yong's life is at stake, work is more important than small talk.
Mito immediately begins to grab Jinseok's hand.
"Mr. Jinseok!"
Jinseok suddenly comes to his senses and his eyes open wide.
"ah?"
Well, before I knew it, I could feel the gentle touch of his hand.
When Jinseok looked down, Mito was holding both of his hands in a plea.
The innocent apple-haired girl begins to ask with a sincere expression that makes you see a difference in her clear eyes.
"Mr. Choi Jin-seok, would you please help treat our Ju-yong, who is on the verge of death from the Kraken's venom?"
"yes."
"All the famous medical hunters, doctors, and famous medicines across the country were in vain. Their diagnosis was simple Kraken venom, but for some reason, a complete cure was impossible."
"...."
"Mr. Jinseok, I will give you the reward as you request, so please do it!"
It was an earnest request from an S-ranker who was a benefactor.
Well, what kind of response would there be for a beautiful young lady of the same age to ask such a favor? How could a man like me, who calls himself a man, respond?
...Besides, isn't he just a poor young man who needs money? If he could just save that guy named Juyong, he'd hit the jackpot in so many ways!
Jinseok showed a gentle smile and then began to speak in a dignified voice.
"Yes, Mito-san, let's go to the hospital room where your younger sibling is right now. It won't be too late to share the details after we quickly treat your younger sibling!"
It was the beginning of Jinseok's full-fledged medical business.
timely.
Goldie, the good child who was waiting in Jinseok's right hand, also secretly lets out a cute cry out of excitement.
I'm so excited to have a new pretty older sister(?) along with my parents.
"Duet, duet!"
***
A little later, in the intensive care unit of a hospital located in Gangnam, Seoul.
Mito quickly guides Jinseok and his group.
"Mr. Jinseok!"
"yes."
"Our Juyong is in a really bad mood, so the rest of the group has retreated. I'll ask you to treat him with your medical skills right away. Our Juyong is really struggling!"
"yes!"
Jinseok's gaze immediately turns to the bed in the intensive care unit where he is on medical business.
On that bed, a boy with a young appearance who looked like he was only a high school student was unconscious and groaning in pain.
"Ugh..."
He was Shin Joo-yong, a 19-year-old A-class professional hunter.
Extremely exhausted in body and mind, with dry and swollen lips, a face so pale that it lacks even the color of blood, and skin covered in inexplicable hives.
He was originally a cute-looking teenager, but he was slowly dying from the venom of the S-class Irregular Kraken.
Jinseok sticks out his tongue in regret.
"Damn, I have to hurry!"
Jinseok asks Mito first.
...because if his child, Goldie, is a monster and is exposed to the outside world, there might be a safety issue.
"Mr. Mito, I'm really sorry, but my medical practice is confidential... Could you please look away from my right arm for a moment?"
The innocent apple-haired girl, who is considered a great S-ranker in the world, nods her thin head to keep her promise.
"Yes, Jinseok, I will take good care of you!"
It was around the time when she, a kind-hearted woman, turned her head away.
Jinseok checks the boy's information window first to use Goldie's absorption skill.
'Ahem, let's start by checking the information on the poison that's currently tormenting that poor kid named Juyong... Hey, this debuff, could it be from that time?'
But that was then.
Jinseok's eyes widen slightly in embarrassment.
That's because in Juyong's information window, Jinseok himself found something that made him feel uneasy.
[Shin Ju-yong, Korean male, 19 years old, in critical condition]
[He is currently in critical condition due to the venom of a powerful S-class Krake and the curse of an S-class Lich Spirit!]
[Kraken's Venom: A powerful lethal venom that accumulates in the body over time, causing the target to die.]
[Rich's Spirit: A powerful persistent curse debuff that inflicts continuous pain to the target's respiratory and heart, draining their life energy and causing them to die.]
[Current health status of Shin Joo-yong: 8%, *Warning: This is an urgent danger situation where the target may die at any time.]
Jinseok's eyebrows tremble in a state of dizziness.
'Damn it, even Juyong was under the same curse of the Lich Spirit that our Yuha had been under before. It's understandable why other medical hunters and doctors couldn't cure him... but I'm saying that it's quite bothering me.'
Joo Yong also suffered the same curse of the Rich Ghost as his younger sister.
...Was the discovery of a series of unknown curses really just a coincidence?
However.
Right now, saving Joo-yong's life was the priority!
Jinseok immediately gives instructions with a nod.
'Goldie, then give the absorption skill to the kid named Juyong!'
That was when.
Goldie, being the good girl that she is, immediately opens her little mouth wide and starts absorbing it.
I'm talking about the S-grade Kraken's venom and the curse of the Lich Spirit that were inside Joo Yong's body.
"... Duuuu!"
From Joo Yong's miserable back, a familiar skull-patterned aura and a giant octopus(?)-patterned aura immediately emerged, and then quickly flew into Goldie's mouth.
It's like multiplying 1+1.
Thanks to this, Goldie, whose small cheeks have now doubled in size, is wagging her tail as if waiting for orders.
"...What?"
[Goldie has absorbed the venom of an S-Class Kraken and the curse of an S-Class Lich Spirit. What orders will you give her from now on?]
[1) Digested into the body as is (2x special experience points are acquired, *since it is a minor curse in the slime's body, experience points can be acquired without any penalty.)]
[2) Release directly from the mouth (the release speed can be adjusted depending on the application)]
[3) Skill Unlocked (* You can issue this command when evolving to a certain level.)]
No matter how dangerous the poison and curse were to a professional hunter, it seemed like just a meal for Goldie, the legendary slime of the SS rank.
If I had to describe it in food terms, would it be something like a double patty hamburger or a Big Mac?
Jinseok immediately nods his head in response to the order to absorb.
"...."
Goldie immediately munched on the delicious food that was in her cheeks and even let out a cute burp as if she was finished eating.
"Crunch crunch... Kook!"
At the same time, a congratulatory message appears in the information window in the air.
Congratulations! Gold Slime has earned 2000 EXP (x2). *9999 EXP required for next skill up.
[All S-class poison and curses have been removed from Shin Ju-yong's body. * Shin Ju-yong's health has been restored to 60%, and the target is quickly recovering health.]
It was a medical business that ended in an instant thanks to my munchkin child.
At that moment, Jooyong, who was writhing on the bed, suddenly regains consciousness and begins to carefully raise his upper body.
...the poison and curse in his body were removed and he became healthy again.
"Ugh, is this... a hospital?"
Although he still looked haggard, his black eyes had regained their vitality.
The boy's eyes widen as if he can't believe he's awake at all, and his eyebrows begin to tremble.
The cute-looking teenager then cautiously looks away.
"...."
Then, there was his guild boss and close friend, Mito, and his benefactor, Jinseok.
Jooyong, who had just woken up, tilted his head in confusion and then started crying.
"... Mito-nee? And the older brother who is with you?"
"...."
It was a great feat of complete recovery for Joo-yong, who had been unconscious.
The innocent apple-haired girl was so moved by the sight that her plum-like eyes began to well up with tears.
"Ah... Jooyong, this bad boy is making my sister sick!"
"Mito-sister?"
The apple-haired girl, overcome with gratitude, unknowingly hugs her benefactor.
After giving Jinseok a hug of gratitude.
"Oh, Jinseok, thank you so much for saving our Juyong!"
Jinseok's cheeks turn red without him realizing it after receiving a hug from a girl of the same age, an S-ranker.
It was quite a ecstasy for him, a very fragrant and soft hug, even though he was a virgin.
"omg...?"
It was the moment when his life, which had been a mere dirt spoon, began to take on a rosy hue.
