I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

40 – Cold

“Collock…”

I have a constant cough.

I immediately closed my mouth to stop the saliva from spreading around, but my classmates are looking at me with a little worried expression.

“Hey, you look a little unwell?”

“It’s okay… I have a little fever.”

I was fine when I woke up in the morning, but after training, I coughed, had a fever, and had a headache.

I definitely felt that my physical condition had deteriorated.

“Do you go to the saintess and get some recovery magic? It’ll be much more comfortable even if the cold doesn’t heal, right?”

“I wonder…”

Recovery magic cannot cure a virus like a cold.

It might be funny that even if your hand is cut off, the recovery magic that creates it doesn’t cure a cold, but

In the case of a cold, a specific virus does not attack

It is comfortable to think that it is difficult to cure because we do not know which virus is attacking our body.

“Instructor! Priest Elvin doesn’t look well!”

No, if you shout that loud, it’s obvious that you’ll draw attention.

How far are you going to spread the word about having a cold?

“Hmm… It sure doesn’t look good.”

“Alvin are you alright?”

“No… It’s not okay.”

“My younger brother died of a cold. I’m a little worried.”

No, no matter how small the country, the prince died of a cold?

Is it because the world lacks medical development?

Etheria subtly made bombastic remarks at me, making the atmosphere uneasy.

Everyone around me is stunned, but it seems that only you don’t know.

“Still, Alvin won’t die.”

I guess so.

You won’t die from a common cold.

“How do you know?”

“That’s true, most people die from a cold because of a lack of magic power.”

Uh…

Isn’t that the same for me?

“But Elvin will be fine because she has enough magic power.”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

Well, since Stella is endowed with magical power, there won’t be any problems due to lack of magical power.

What I need to be careful about is that I don’t feel like I have enough stamina because I have to pull out the mana remnants every day?

I touched my chin and nodded, and Etheria nodded as well.

“Yes. When I first met him, I was worried because he seemed to have no magical powers.”

“Ugh…”

This child seems to have noticed that I don’t have magical powers at all.

I heard that he has excellent magic power and aptitude, but I didn’t think it was this much….

Could that be why you were interested in me?

“It’s not like we’re talking like this right now. Wouldn’t it be better to go quickly and rest?”

Mr. Maxis, who had been listening to our conversation, urged us to go.

You talked too much during training.

“Priest Dave, please bring Priest Alvin to the infirmary.”

“Yes, Instructor.”

“Etheria Priest, please return to your seat.”

“Yes.”

Teria went back to her seat after seeing me sitting on the ground and waking up.

Anyway, it seems that my dead brother is reflected in me.

“Alvin, wake up, let’s go to the infirmary.”

“Whoa… Thank you.”

I got up holding Dave’s hand.

I almost stumbled for a moment, but I managed to fix myself.

“You should rest today.”

“Ugh…. When I rest, the shelter priests and priests…”

Perhaps, their peaceful working day will turn into hell.

I’m sorry.

I could see the health room in the corner of the first floor of the church headquarters.

I’ve never been here before, but I’ve heard rumors that the nurse priest is a pretty scary person.

It was a bit scary to enter.

“But Stella…?”

“Priest Maxis said he would talk to you, so hurry in.”

“Yes…”

I was just going to get a recovery magic from Stella, but in the end I have no choice but to go in.

“Do you have a nurse priest?”

When I entered the health room, Dave looked for the nurse priest in a booming voice.

This guy was like that before, and he is like that now, and he doesn’t seem to have any intention of lowering his voice.

“Oh, are you sick?”

“I’ve had a fever since this morning, and I don’t look well.”

I put my hand on my forehead without hesitation, fearing that I might not be a religious person.

I’m used to it now, so it doesn’t matter.

“I see, your name?”

“This is Alvin..”

“Elvin……”

The health priest began to meditate on my name.

He was startled as if a light bulb had popped up over his head.

“Oh, you’re the saint’s fiancé, aren’t you?”

“Yes…”

“No, this is not the time. For now, lie down over there.”

Following the words of the priest who urged me to lie down on the bed with the curtains, I put myself on the soft bed.

“Uh…”

“Isn’t it soft? It’s probably softer than the dorm room.”

“Not at that level…”

I don’t know if I’m mistaken because I’m sick, but I feel a little bit different from the bed I usually lie on in a dormitory.

Compared to the other side of the world, should I say that a regular spring bed has become a Simmons bed?

“Take a break. I’ll bring a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope.”

“Yes… Dave, you should go back soon.”

Mr. Mak Sis is not one to let anyone out during training, but he gave me special permission because I was knocked out.

I don’t mind seeing Mr. Maxis when Dave is hanging out here.

“Yes, take care of yourself.”

“Thank you for taking me there.”

“Thank you, buy me a drink later.”

He smiled, waved his hand, and left.

I never thought I’d ask for a drink on the way…

“Priest Elvin? Are you awake?”

“Ugh…”

Since I was leaning on the soft bed, I fell asleep by itself.

Looking at the clock, less than 20 minutes have passed yet, but my mouth is salivating.

“Is it okay if I come in?”

“Yes priest.”

I heard the sound of the wheels rolling along with the sound of the door opening.

It was a cart that could hold items found in hospitals or restaurants.

“First, I’ll measure my blood pressure.”

Wrap the cuff of the manual blood pressure monitor around your forearm and press the pump firmly.

I know how to measure my blood pressure by injecting air into the inflated cuff and compressing my forearm, but how do I measure my minimum blood pressure?

“Your blood pressure is a bit low. Do you have low blood pressure?”

“Uh… I don’t know.”

“Hmm… I’ll get it right now.”

After taking my blood pressure, he put a stethoscope in my ear.

I also turned around and turned to my back, reached inside my jacket and put the cold stethoscope on my back.

I almost got goosebumps for a moment.

“The trachea isn’t very good either.”

“My neck hurts a little too.”

“It looks like your bronchial tube is not working because your immune system is low because of a cold. I’ll give you an intravenous drip, so take a good rest today.”

“Ugh…. If I don’t go, the shelter will be ruined today…”

Peri and Yongyong might be crying because their father didn’t come.

My cute daughters…

“Stop worrying! Who cares for you when you can’t even take care of yourself?”

“Ugh…”

I can’t refute.

Women from this side of the world, every word they say pierces my heart…….

***

“Oops…”

A cold, long needle pierced the flesh.

I couldn’t see the bright red blood, but judging from the sting, it seemed to be deeply embedded.

“The man does all the tough things.”

“It still hurts…”

She lay down on the bed with an intravenous glass bottle attached to her wrist.

In the case of needles and IVs, there was no big difference from those used in the other world, perhaps because they were high-end products.

Especially, there was something like filter magic on it, so it stood out that he paid attention to microplastics and everything.

They use magic in strange places in extraordinary ways.

“I made it weak, so rest all day today.”

“But what kind of medicine is this?”

In other worlds, injections of glucose or physiological saline were most common.

People who couldn’t eat were given peripheral nerve fluids.

“This? A recovery potion.”

“Yes?”

“Rather than drinking it, injecting it directly through the bloodstream and injecting it through the buttocks is faster for absorption.”

No, you don’t have to tell me about the butt.

By the way, I guess it’s okay to put a recovery potion directly into your blood.

Originally, isn’t saline used for intravascular injections similar?

“Or, would you like me to pull this out and put it in your ass?”

“No! It’s fine!”

“Then get a good night’s sleep.”

“Ah, later, Stella… No, please wake me up when the saint’s eminence comes.”

“Okay~.”

Aren’t you sorry if Stella wanders around and lifts the curtains on the bed where everyone else is lying?

When Stella heard about me, she was worried again, so it’s obvious that she couldn’t be more restless.

“As rumor has it, the saintess and priest Elvin seem to be on good terms.”

“hahahaha… I hear it often.”

“Usually, saints from history and their husbands didn’t get along very well.”

“I did…”

In the old days, it was quite patriarchal, and there were people who commanded the saintess and manipulated the religious authorities.

That’s why there were times when the country was divided and almost disappeared.

Isn’t it really scary?

That’s why I was able to be summoned from another world.

At least, he couldn’t even meet Stella, and he must still be in a dark and damp room eating a boxed lunch from a convenience store.
