The official papers regarding mental health healers had finally been completed.
But then, on the day Hank was supposed to head off to the capital, a small commotion occurred.
Someone came to ask me to help. When I ran there to see what was going on, it turned out to be Hank, struggling with another man in the middle of a crowd of people.
The other party was a young man I had never seen.
He was wearing fine clothes, so he was probably from a higher class.
“Oi, don’t fight inside the institute.”
Amongst the healers, many were gentle and faint of heart, so not fighting inside was to avoid frightening them.
I kept the others at a distance, as they had been frightened silly by the violence between Hank and the other man, then I intervened between the two.
“Shut up, you step away, Lilius! I can’t let this go unless I hit him!”
“Calm down, Hank. Is this something that could be solved by beating him up?”

No thanks to that, of course the calm I had regained would once again disappear in an instant.

Seriously, I just wanted to unleash all my headaches back on them.
“Hey, you. What are you inciting him for? Or do you just have a fetish for getting beaten up by Hank? If that’s so, no need to stop, but at least go do it at a specialty club. It’s just trouble here.”
“—!? What an uncouth person……! This is why rural people are disgusting.”
“Then, what did you come to this oh-so-rural place for?”
“Hmph. Nothing, I simply had a deal with that filthy tanuki there.”
A ‘deal’ — I wasn’t sure, but it was probably Hank bootlicking the nobles again, wasn’t it.
I stared askance at Hank, my eyes narrowed. Even though I hadn’t said anything yet, perhaps out of guilt, he started shouting in anger.
“You’ve got no right to call me out on anything! It’s because every single one of the healers are pushovers that we are made fools of! You bastards don’t understand my troubles. Besides, Lilius! You of all people have no right to blame me!”
Bloodshot eyes glared at me.
“What do you mean?”
“I heard about it. You used your body to seduce that hero, didn’t you! You’re just as shameful—guhaa”
I wasn’t listening to any more of this bullshit.
I blasted wind magic at Hank.
His body was blown away, slamming against the wall, and tumbled down.
“Go on, regurgitate those rumors — Hey you. I’m a busy man. If you’ve still got any complaints, I’ll be your opponent instead. It might be fun too, to freeze you to the entrance.”
“Hiiiee! P–please forgive me!”
I fired ice magic at the man’s feet in warning.
Realizing that it wasn’t just an empty threat, the man complied, running away with a hunched back.
“Oi. Go put Hank in the patient’s ward.”
I gave orders to the healers, who had gone deathly quiet, then decided to leave the rest up to them.
With things going like this, it wouldn’t be good to make Hank go to the capital. We would have to find another suitable replacement.
So troublesome……
As I was inspecting the healers’ roster, my hand suddenly paused. Something was wrong.
That moment when I was silencing Hank, I saw a shadow behind him.
Lately, I had often caught glimpses of something that looked like a black haze. Those it was attached to, without fail, would become emotional and assault people.
What was that thing?
I shivered. Perhaps, without my knowledge, that black haze had also attached itself to me.
A helpless, ominous hunch hung heavy in my heart.
TN:
Sorry again about last chapter. I checked discord and seems like the website was down around the same time I scheduled the chapter.
Something mysterious is targeting people? I kind of feel that Lilius will have to ask Jill for help to deal with this, whatever this is. But… hmmmmm… this black mist, shadow or whatever… Lily’s sister’s magic was represented like that… uh hu… the witch is back? I hope not. 😱
Thank you fo the chapter!!!
Who is causing all these violent behaviours? Some Spirit or Black magic?
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter! ^^)❤
I wonder what the mist is? Perhaps it feeds on negative emotions?
Thanks for the chapter <3
thank you for the chapter!
I wonder what that black thing is
🤔
Is it his sisters magic? She did write saying shed be visiting 😳😳
I hope the black thing is not the former maid who decided to stay here after her death.
thanks for the chapter!
