Episode 227.
Blood tonic.
This remedy, which means blood containing the power of yang energy, was a treatment that was custom-made for Seo-ah.
And does it mean that it literally contains yang energy and vitality?
I could feel the warm energy of life from the blood-boosting medicine placed on my palm.
[… You’ve worked hard.]
Finally, Hwa-tu’s voice was heard.
The wrinkled eyes of Hua Tuo visible on the screen were so sharp that they were almost shattered.
It was only natural, since I hadn’t slept a wink for a week.
I literally didn’t even breathe a wink.
When Siwoo felt sleepy, he would drink the special panties… no, the special medicine like water to endure it.
The blood-nourishing medicine in hand was the result of such efforts.
That’s why Siwoo had one question.
‘You’re saying that the skill of divine magic hasn’t increased.’
To create this blood-nourishing medicine, all of Hua Tuo’s medical knowledge was mobilized.
Naturally, Siwoo was able to acquire Hwa-ta’s medical knowledge naturally.
It was as if he had perfectly learned Hwa-tu’s divine medicine (S+).
‘But my skill level didn’t increase…’
I had my doubts, but quickly brushed them off.
Because it wasn’t important right now.
I thought I would have to talk to Zhuge Liang to find out about this part.
“Thank you, Hwa-ta.”
Siwoo expressed his gratitude to Hwata.
A week of forced marching.
I was able to endure that forced march because of Siuya Seoa.
But it wasn’t Hwa-ta.
It was Hwa-ta who helped Shi-woo out of pure kindness.
[No. I was able to learn something new by having new experiences.]
Hwa-ta just waved his hand with a cool smile.
[If you think about it, didn’t you take revenge on me? Or rather, the price… Admiral Lee Dok. Fighting fiercely. Well, that’s it.]
And then, Hwa-ta laughed heartily.
Siwoo responded to that laughter with a small smile.
Hereby.
The cure for Seo-ah’s blood disease was successfully completed.
Now all that was left to do was administer the treatment to Seo-ah.
“… … .”
However, Si-woo hesitated to administer this medicine to Seo-ah.
Could it be because of Siwoo’s appearance?
Beyond the screen, Hua Tuo nodded slightly and said.
[I understand your feelings. The blood-nourishing medicine is incomplete.]
It would be more accurate to say that it is unproven rather than incomplete.
[It’s not impossible that there will be side effects.]
Side effects of administering yang energy beyond the acceptable range.
Judging from Seo-ah’s condition, the side effect was likely to develop into blood cancer.
Of course, I spent a week with Hwa-ta to try to get rid of that side effect.
At the same time, Yoo Han-na also practically lived in Si-woo’s house.
If we only consider the possibility, there was a higher chance that there would be no side effects.
But it wasn’t completely gone.
What if Seo-ah gets blood cancer?
The blood was spread throughout the body as a liquid.
Therefore, unlike other cancers, blood cancer does not have a specific tumor.
‘I can’t cure blood cancer.’
It wasn’t a disease that Siwoo could do anything about.
Of course, even modern medicine could not do anything about it.
It wasn’t just simple blood cancer, it was blood cancer that included thrombosis.
So what it meant was death.
If any side effects occur, Seo-ah will lose her life.
That’s why Siwoo couldn’t help but worry deeply.
In this situation, the fact that Hua Tuo’s divine medicine (S+) proficiency level did not increase also became a factor of anxiety.
In the end, this blood tonic could not penetrate the 100% proficiency of the Divine Medicine (S+).
Because it was also evidence that there was no effect exceeding 100%.
[If you’re still anxious, you can try slowly developing the medicine over time. I’ll continue to help you.]
Hua Tuo also knew that fact, so he did not force it.
Instead, he just said he would help me more.
But Siwoo shook his head.
There was no point in researching any further than this.
Investing more time wouldn’t have allowed me to develop it any further.
At best, we could only reduce the amount of materials used.
“No. I will do it.”
Hwa-ta simply nodded silently at Shi-woo’s decision.
Siwoo slowly left the room.
And go to Seo-ah’s room.
“Seo-ah, are you inside?”
-Yeah, come in!
At Seo-ah’s lively answer, Si-woo carefully opened Seo-ah’s room.
When we entered Seo-ah’s room, various painting tools were spread out.
Looks like he was drawing a picture.
As expected, Seo-ah put down her pencil on the canvas and asked.
“What’s going on, brother?”
Wow!
As Seo-ah asked, Heuk-dol started barking as well.
Unless there was an extraordinary circumstance, Heukdol would not leave Seoah.
If Samsoon was the gatekeeper who protected the house, Heukdol could be said to be the bodyguard who protected Seoah.
Siwoo patted Heukdoli, who was approaching him happily, and spoke to Seoah.
“Were you drawing?”
“Yeah. Want to see it? Oppa, Heukdol, and Samsoon.”
Then, Seo-ah showed me the sketch she was drawing on the canvas.
Are you sure you have some dexterity?
It was a pretty well drawn picture.
“Ayun said so. If I just pass the high school equivalency exam, I’ll have no problem passing the special recruitment.”
“Really? Did Ayoon say that?”
“Yeah! He said that if I did well, I could go to the same school as Ayun.”
Jeong Ah-yoon, the daughter of the previous landlady and a high school student of the same age as Seo-ah.
As far as Siwoo knew, Ayoon was the top student in the entire school.
A school like that where Ayun is is not an ordinary school.
“So you have to work hard!”
Seo-ah shouted loudly.
Is that why?
Siwoo was able to strengthen his resolve once again.
“Seo-ah, I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
Siwoo showed the blood tonic he was holding in his hand.
“What is it?”
“It’s a medicine called blood tonic… .”
Si-woo explained to Seo-ah everything about the blood-promoting medicine without leaving anything out.
It was knowledge that I didn’t really need to know.
Nevertheless, Siwoo explained in detail.
“What does it mean that yin and yang are independent and do not change, and that they move together and do not cause danger?”
Of course, Seo-ah could not fully understand the complex knowledge of divine medicine (S+).
However, Siwoo calmly explained in detail, giving examples.
“You can think of it as the north and south poles of a magnet. Even if you cut the middle of a magnet, wouldn’t a new north and south pole be created in the cut magnet? In this way, yin and yang exist independently of each other, but they are not separate concepts.”
“Um… .”
Seo-ah also listened to Si-woo’s words until the end.
After such a long explanation.
“therefore….”
Seo-ah said, organizing Si-woo’s words.
“Are you saying that if I take this medicine, I might die because my vessel to receive the yang energy is too small?”
“that’s right.”
“But my blood clot can be cured.”
“That’s true too.”
Siwoo nodded slightly and said.
And I waited for Seo-ah’s decision.
If Seo-ah said no, Si-woo didn’t plan on forcing her.
I was willing to throw a week’s worth of effort into the trash.
“Want some.”
Seo-ah answered without hesitation.
“Seo-ah, this isn’t a question that can be answered so simply.”
“I didn’t just give a simple answer. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.”
Seo-ah spoke to Si-woo with a determined expression.
“I don’t want to hold onto you anymore.”
“You still think like that─”
“I know. You don’t think of me that way. But I don’t.”
Seo-ah shook her head slightly.
Siwoo couldn’t say anything as he looked at Seoah like that.
I know I can say this now because things have improved a lot.
But even just a year ago, that wasn’t the case at all.
I couldn’t even dream of it for a few months, let alone a year.
The exorbitant cost of Seo-ah’s medicine.
And there is no such thing.
Seo-ah is not stupid.
He knew the harshness of reality as well as Siwoo.
In that reality, I knew how much of a burden my existence was.
Even if Siwoo never said that, Seo-ah herself thought so.
The thought that if only he had confidence, Siwoo wouldn’t have to live in this reality.
The idea that his own existence was a stumbling block to Siwoo.
The thought that I would rather not have confidence.
The feelings of someone who receives unconditional help.
Family could never be the reason.
“It’s true that I’ve gotten a lot better thanks to the herbal medicine you made for me. I’ve gotten even better with the special herbal medicine you made me a while ago.”
There is nothing more miserable than holding back your beloved family.
“But now I don’t want to just sit still and receive. I want to do something, too.”
“… … ”
“More than anything, you made this for me. I want to eat it, not for myself, but for you.”
Seo-ah continued speaking with a serious expression on her face.
“So, do you want to eat it? No, I will eat it.”
Siwoo was truly speechless at the sight of Seoah like that.
perhaps.
It may be that Si-woo was more afraid than Seo-ah.
Maybe Si-woo was hesitating because he was afraid that he might lose Seo-ah.
Did he even know what Siwoo was thinking?
“And don’t worry too much! I can overcome it!”
Seo-ah shouted with her eyes sparkling.
“Who am I? I’m the younger sister of Maeng Si-woo, the hero of the new era and the world’s first S+-rank hunter!”
Then woof woof!
Black Rock, who had been quiet, barked as if to cheer them on.
At the same time, plodding along.
Heavy footsteps were heard outside Seo-ah’s door.
Did you hear the story outside?
Samsoon, who had been guarding the door, walked towards Seoah’s room.
And then, as if he was going to guard Seo-ah’s room, he crouched down in front of Seo-ah’s room.
“I don’t know why he likes doors so much.”
Seo-ah said with her mouth pursed.
Still, Seo-ah had a bright expression on her face, as if she was happy inside.
Siwoo smiled back.
“But how do you eat this?”
“Unfortunately, it’s not edible.”
All it took was an intravenous injection into the bloodstream.
Then, the yang energy contained in the blood-promoting medicine would naturally permeate and circulate through the blood.
“I’ll let you take this. Is that okay?”
“huh.”
Seo-ah rolled up her left sleeve and offered it to Si-woo.
Siwoo pulled out the front part of the blood-yang drug.
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind.
And then deep.
A blood-yang drug was injected into the blood vessel of Seo-ah’s left arm.
“Ugh!”
Seo-ah frowned slightly at the stinging pain.
As the power of yang energy flowed in, Seo-ah bit her lip as if trying to endure the pain.
It was like the pain of hot water running through my veins.
“Hah!”
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of thing an ordinary high school girl would put up with.
Nevertheless, Seo-ah endured it steadfastly.
In this way, all the blood-enhancing substances flowed into Seo-ah’s body.
At that moment, I staggered.
Seo-ah lost her balance and fell off the chair.
Siwoo hurriedly grabbed Seoah’s body.
“Oh, brother…!”
Seo-ah’s voice trembled as she spoke.
The body of Seo-ah that he was holding was trembling.
And it was adding to the century more and more.
Bogurrurur… .
Foam bubbled up from the corner of Seo-ah’s mouth.
It felt strange.
Something… is wrong.
“Seo-ah?”
Seo-ah had no answer.
Seo-ah’s consciousness is not visible through her rolled-back eyes.
The trembling body soon began to flutter and convulse like a live fish emerging from land.
Wow, wow!
Black Rock was at a loss and was running around wildly.
Boom, boom!
Samsoon, who had been guarding the door, also suddenly got up from her seat.
Buzz buzz!
Seo-ah’s seizures became increasingly severe.
Siwoo hurriedly crumpled up the picture Seoah was drawing and stuffed it into Seoah’s mouth.
At the same time, he held onto Seo-ah’s body tightly.
Still, Seo-ah’s body shook and trembled, escaping Si-woo’s control.
It must be the power of yang energy.
And originally, it shouldn’t have been released like this.
It was a power that should have circulated only inside Seo-ah, drawing out the life force of the blood, and then died.
‘The yang energy is running wild.’
This is the side effect I was worried about.
The body of Seo-ah that he was holding was so hot.
‘I need to get rid of the yang energy.’
Siwoo hurriedly took out his wooden armor from his subspace pocket.
And the moment I was about to stab the blood vessel with my needle.
Stop.
Seo-ah’s seizures stopped.
Seo-ah’s body, which had been shaking, sagged again.
And Siwoo’s movements also froze.
“Seo-ah… hey?”
There was no answer.
The room was so quiet.
Not even a faint breath could be heard.
Not even the slightest heartbeat could be heard.
From Seo-ah… , from Seo-ah… .
No sound was heard.
Ring ring.
The spit in Siwoo’s hand fell weakly to the floor.
