Underground Doctor - Chapter 6.1

Chapter 6.1

[Edited by:- SubZero]

　Many explorers gathered and exchanged information inside the town square . They move from here and the aristocratic area .


　I overhear some of their conversations while walking .


 
"It looks like the first signs of that sickness appeared this year as well . " (Adventurer 1)


"Yeah, it is that time of the year again . It’s going to be hard not being overwhelmed by the heat . " (Adventurer 2)


"No, it's already July . It's okay to leave for now . " (Adventurer 1)


"Will the days of buying stamina recovery drugs begin again?" (Adventurer 2)


"What if I didn't get sick?" (Adventurer 1)


"It will be terrible if I die . Even if it's expensive I’ll get the treatment . If I die without clearing the labyrinth, I'll only have regrets . " (Adventurer 2)


"You can clear it, right?" (Adventurer 1)


"Of course I can!" (Adventurer 2)


 
　I became a little anxious and headed for the explorers .

 
"I'm sorry . It sounds like you are talking about a disease, but can you tell me more about it?" (Kaoru)

 
　I smiled while listening to the explorers .

 
"Hmm, you're a healer? Why don't you know about it?" (Adventurer 1)

 
　An explorer with a slightly confused face asked me .

 
"Oh, I don't know much about this Town . There wasn't that kind of disease from where I was before . "

 
　I said while smiling .

 
"What kind of place did you live in…? Oh well, but from July to September, there is a disease that affects the whole town . Patients appear when the weather becomes like this . Also, some people collapse due to an unreasonably high fever . We're called explorers, so we call it the 'labyrinth fever' . But each person has different symptoms . The common symptoms are vomiting or diarrhea . However, the only way to cure the situation is to use stamina recovery drugs and get treated at the clinic so they can recover their strength and be cured of it . "
 


　He told me that he didn't want to stop exploring .
 


"It's an annoying disease for explorers . If you get sick, you can't enter the labyrinth . " (Adventurer 2)
 


　I think this can be a great opportunity .
 


"Oh, I want [Eclix] to come up with a preventive potion . Otherwise, we will run out of money from getting treated . " (Adventurer 1)
 


　The explorer said with a self-mocking laugh .
 


"Thanks for the information . I’ll try to look for new ways to deal with it . " (Kaoru)
 


　I laughed and replied .
 


"Oh! If you can make it then that'll save us . " (Adventurer 2)
 


The explorer talked while smiling, I waved my hand goodbye and said, "I will leave you be, then," and left the square .
 


～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
 


　After arriving at the Orvis house, Karin greeted me once again .
 


"Thank you, Kaoru-sama . It's like a dream that Lady Alicia can now greet me cheerfully . I'm happy to see her smile . " (Karin)
 


　She greeted me with a beaming smile and a giddy expression .
 


"That's a relief . I'm glad that you are happy . " (Kaoru)
 


　I replied bashfully, and continued,


(ED: Okay, I don't know why he is bashful here… So, I'll leave it be . )
"If she has more time to rehabilitate, she can return to her daily life sooner, so we'll have to work harder . " (Karin)
 




　Karin said it excitedly .
 


"If you get impatient, it’ll cause more trouble than good . We should not put too much pressure on her heart so it doesn't get strained . ” (Kaoru)
 


　I popped her overinflated enthusiasm or else there’ll be more trouble .


　After being sobered up, her expression turned back to normal, Karin scratched her head saying, "I'm sorry," and led me to Alicia's room .


 
"If you need anything, please call me . It is part of my job after all . " (Karin)
 
　Karin left while appearing to be skipping .


　I became a little worried while entering Alicia's room after knocking . I was thinking that I might also need to curb her enthusiasm .


 
"Alicia-chan, I’m back and ready to give you your examination and medicine . " (Kaoru)


 

　I greeted her with that .


 
"Waaa!?" (Alicia)


 
　Alicia was in a panic .


　She was currently lying on her back, raising her legs and performing self-rehabilitation .


　Her clothes were open slightly, probably because of her moving around the bed, revealing a beautiful white, smooth stomach .


　Her face burned bright red, and she started fixing her appearance as quickly as she could .
 


"You’re terrible Kaoru-san, for suddenly entering . " (Alicia)
 


　Alicia gets angry and pouts, her cheeks look like puffed up balloons .


　She has some cute expressions,
 




"Yes, I'm sorry . I did knock before I entered . " (Kaoru)
 


　I said while scratching my head .
 


"Eh? I'm sorry too . I was so enthusiastic that I didn't notice you knocking . " (Alicia)
 


　Alicia apologized after I apologized .
 


"It looks like you're doing your best in rehabilitation . But are you exhausting yourself too much?" (Kaoru)


“Yes . I am a little tired, but I don't feel sick . ” (Alicia)
 


　She blushed while averting her eyes from my gaze .
 


"Okay, then . I brought your medicine today . Inside is your medicine wrapped in a red and white paper . Drink it after having your dinner . " (Kaoru)


 
　I took out a small paper bag from my pocket and give it to Alicia .
 


"Thank you Kaoru-san . " (Alicia)
 


　Alicia confirms that there is a red and white wrapping paper inside .


　After checking the contents . She placed the bag on a desk beside her . 　


    With a smile, She asked for a rehabilitation massage . Alicia was looking better than before indeed .


　It seems like she liked it a lot .


　I agreed and asked Alicia to lie down and relax .


　With Alicia lying on her back, I placed a towel on her shoulder and massaged starting from her shoulder .


　When pressure was applied from her spinous process toward the acromion using the pad of my thumb, Alicia flapped her hands and sighed, "awahhhh!” (T/N – He’s just moving his hands from her middle back [spine, site of spinous process] towards the area above her shoulder joint [area near the acromion] . If you want the diagram you can google it . )




　I might have giggled but I continued to massage her .


　Moving to her back and putting the towel back on .


　Gently press on the spinous process in the center of her back with my thumb .


　Just applying enough pressure .


　If Alicia’s new heart is overworked, her progress would be undone . Although Alicia can now move better she still needs someone to help with her rehabilitation . Also, there are places on her body only another person can reach .


　I silently moved to her waist .


Placing my hands above her lower back . I pressed against her erector muscles with both thumbs at the same time, applying constant pressure . Alicia exclaimed, "Kaoru-sama! Your fingers are tickling me . Neeeeeeeee!!" (T/N – Erector muscles are found on the lower back above the butt where the tramp stamp is usually tattooed on . )


 
"Eh, Alicia-chan, did I do something that you didn’t like? I'm enlightened . " (Kaoru)


 
　I told Alicia while smiling innocently .


 (ED: He was teasing her, if you didn't know . )

"That’s different . Uh, oh . " (Alicia)


 
　I tickled Alicia until she’s twitching and sobbing from exhaustion .


　I think it was a little overkill .


　While stroking her head, I said, "I'm sorry, I can't stop because your reactions are too cute . " Alicia is angry for a bit, but her reactions are cute and it makes me happy .


　After that, I started massaging her properly .


　And after a while, Alicia fell asleep .


　I gently covered her body with a blanket and carefully left her so she won’t wake up .


 
(Well, let’s talk to Cain-san when he comes home . I have a lot to ask him . ) (Toru)


 
　Then, I left Alicia's room .
