I Became an Unofficial Healer

“Haah…”

I couldn’t help but sigh while touching my forehead.

I wanted to argue, but…
As Miriana noona said, I couldn’t tell healthy people to get hurt or sick.

Still, I freely sent a dissatisfied look toward Miriana noona.

“J-Jin-sang! I have something in mind…”

Miriana noona, seeming quite guilty, turned her head and fidgeted with her fingers.

“What is it?”

“I feel re~ally sorry for saying something first and then having it turn out like this. So…”

Miriana noona bent down and pulled out a pouch from under the table.

“First, as an apology, 3 gold…”

I quickly snatched the very precious money pouch from Miriana noona’s hand and said with a smile as bright as sunshine.

“Oh my! Well, these things happen! What can we do, we can’t intentionally make people get hurt!”

3 gold.

In this world where 1 bronze is about 100 won, 1 silver is about 10,000 won, and 1 gold is about 1 million won,
3 gold was a considerable sum of 3 million won.

“Our Jin-sang likes money more than I expected? I was worried you might dislike it since you refused last time.”

“Who doesn’t like money? That time I just said the treatment was free! This is different, it’s because Miriana noona feels sorry for not keeping her promise. Heh, hehehe. 3 gold…”

Looking at me grinning from ear to ear at the sudden windfall, Miriana noona smiled and said.

“Your materialistic side is so honest, it’s nice to see. Cute.”

I wonder what part of me this noona keeps finding cute.

“Well, still, if any patients do come up, please introduce them to me right away. With Miriana noona’s introduction, I’ll do it cheap to help build my reputation too.”

“Alright, Jin-sang.”

After responding with a bright smile, Miriana noona was silent for a moment, then stared at me and said.

“Hey, Jin-sang.”

“Yes.”

“Why don’t you! Quit being an adventurer and become my exclusive healer?”

“What?”

Miriana noona’s exclusive healer?

“Without Jin-sang, I would have died, right? You never know what will happen in life. Who knows when something like that might happen to me again.”

“I feel like Miriana noona would manage things so thoroughly that such things would never happen again.”

“Sure, I’d manage things. But you really never know. In those times, if our Jin-sang is right! by my side, I would feel so much safer~ Hmm? How about it? Isn’t it good? Instead of earning money from herb gathering, you could just stick clo~sely by my side and get paid. I’ll give you at least 10 gold every month!”

“E-every month… 10 gold!?”

That’s 10 million won!?

“Ah, n-no. Is it okay to give that much?”

“Is it a lot? Considering Jin-sang’s abilities, this amount is rather small?”

“But the actual payment is the issue…”

“Pfft, Jin-sang. I’m a woman known as the Queen of the Night. To be honest, 10 gold a month is nothing to me?”

“Wow…”

The Queen of the Night is incredible.

“And.not.only.that.”

Miriana noona got up, came to my side, and pressed herself close to me.

“N-noona?”

Then she brought her face close to my ear and whispered in a very erotic voice that made blood rush to my lower half.

“Later… I’ll also arrange a very pretty vir.gin. girlfriend for you.”

A v-virgin girlfriend arrangement…?!

My body reacted with a twitch to those extremely sweet words.

Hearing my reaction, Miriana noona made a “hmph” sound of laughter.

“There are occasionally girls who have to work at the brothel due to circumstances, you know? Among them, of course, there are pretty, vir.gin. girls? When such a girl comes in, I’ll inform our Jin-sang first… and if Jin-sang wants, I’ll immediately pull her out and make her Jin-sang’s girlfriend. How about it, isn’t that good?”

“I-I-I want to date through romance, not that kind of method…!”

“You can do plenty of romance after you’ve chosen her? Regardless of how it starts, as long as she’s to our Jin-sang’s liking, isn’t that enough?”

Huh? Is that so?

“Ah, but if you end up spending your first night with your girlfriend, you must te~ll me about it?”

“W-why?”

“Of course because…”

Miriana noona tickled my chest with her index finger in circles and said.

“I want to taste our Jin-sang who’s no longer a virgin♪”

“Taste…?!”

Taste me!?

“Of course, while tasting, I’ll also teach you techniques so that our Jin-sang can have a ve~ry pleasant night with his girlfriend, you.know.”

T-technique transfer…!

“And if Jin-sang is okay with it.”

Miriana noona moved her hand with the index and middle fingers spread in front of my eyes and said.

“I think it would also be nice to spend a fun time with Jin-sang and your girlfriend together.”

T-together.

That means… th-three people doing it together!?

Oh my, how improper!

My inner ethics lady was causing a commotion at Miriana noona’s straightforward whispering in my ear.

“How about it? Rather than being a dangerous adventurer who doesn’t earn much and only gets teased… become my exclusive healer and live happily by my side. You definitely won’t regret it?”

Considering my current situation, this was a sweet and seductive proposal that could make me lose my mind.
If my goal was to live comfortably in this world, accepting Miriana noona’s proposal would certainly be the wisest choice.

But.

“M-Miriana noona.”

“Yes. What is it, Jin-sang? Have you made up your mind?”

Miriana noona spoke with a very confident voice, as if certain that I would accept her proposal.

“…Yes.”

“Great! Then from today, you can just stay at noona’s house…”

“I’m sorry. I’ll have to decline your offer. I’m sorry, noona.”

“Huh? Whaaaaat?”

At my verbal rejection, Miriana noona blinked her eyes rapidly and tilted her head, showing an expression of incomprehension.

“Um… why? Why? Was there something you didn’t like?”

“No. As a man… honestly, how could I not like Miriana noona’s proposal? I’m already extremely regretful.”

A monthly salary of at least 10 gold.
A girlfriend arranged directly by Miriana noona, who has a keen eye as the Queen of the Night.
And after my first experience, the possibility of a night with Miriana noona and… a fantasy threesome!

Is there a man who wouldn’t regret rejecting this?

If so, that guy is either impotent!
Or gay!

“Then why are you rejecting it? You could just accept the proposal.”

“Because I want to build a great reputation as an adventurer. That’s the biggest reason. If I become your exclusive healer, always by your side, I couldn’t do that at all, right?”

“No, why are you so fixated on being an adventurer? Do you have such an overwhelming desire for honor or adventure?”

Miriana noona probably can’t understand me right now.
When she’s offering such a heavenly position.

I must look like a foolish person rejecting it and stubbornly wanting to succeed as an adventurer.

Of course, I don’t particularly desire to succeed as an adventurer.
Success is just a means to an end.

What I want…
What I want, so steeped in modern conveniences and still so desperately missing, is…
A way to return to my original world.

If I were at the level of enlightenment where I thought I didn’t need my original world anymore and had become completely accustomed to this world, I would have definitely accepted Miriana noona’s proposal in less than a second.

But foolishly in another direction, I still missed my original world and wanted to return.
And to do that…

“No, noona. I don’t have something like a spirit of adventure. What I want is… to become a hero’s companion and defeat the Demon Lord.”

“Demon Lord?”

“Yes.”

I looked straight into Miriana noona’s eyes.

“As Miriana noona knows, my healing magic is truly incredible. If I join as a hero’s companion, I’ll be an enormous help in defeating the Demon Lord. Even if the hero or other heroes suffer serious injuries or get seriously ill along the way, with me there, everything can be solved.”

“Well… that’s true.”

“That’s why I want to use this power of mine to defeat the Demon Lord. For that, I need to become a hero’s companion. And to become a hero’s companion, I need to build tremendous achievements as an adventurer to catch the hero’s eye. Without achievements… haha, it’s obvious they won’t accept an unlicensed quack healer like me, right?”

After hearing my words,
Miriana noona stared at me silently, then chuckled and said.

“Our Jin-sang… I thought you were just a stubborn and obstinate virgin. But you’re a kind fool who thinks about the greater good enough to blow away such a good opportunity?”

Leave out the fool part.

Caught up on being called a fool, I added more.

“If the Demon Lord isn’t defeated, the world will be in danger, right? Then eventually here will be in danger too, and it would be a big problem for Miriana noona as well. In a roundabout way, even for noona’s sake, I need to join the hero’s party and make the Demon Lord’s defeat a little easier. Don’t you think so?”

“…”

Suddenly silent, Miriana noona pinched my cheek slightly.

“This kid~ is just naturally saying such cute things~.”

No, what cute things did I say?

“Noona, let go, let go.”

“Is this the mouth that says such cute things?”

Miriana noona didn’t stop at my cheeks but also pinched my lips.

“Mmph! Mmm!”

Finding it fun to pinch and play with my cheeks and mouth, Miriana noona’s face continued to show a bright smile.
