Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement-Chapter 308
Discharged
Finally, we were discharged from the hospital.
Since she was in the hospital so long, I went to ask McCoy-san how long an injury like this would keep someone in the hospital.
First, he said, “I can’t say anything without a medical examination because it depends on the treatment and the patient’s situation.”
And when I explained in detail about her injuries and how they were healing her, he said, “In that case, she would normally have been discharged long ago”.
No, it’s obvious, ‘She was ready to be discharged!’ But no one was talking about it at all, and when I asked the doctor about it, he was not sure what to say……
After all, they haven’t given her any infusions such as anti-suppuration or nutritional supplements, and they haven’t done anything other than the examination… for some reason, blood and cell fragments were being collected regularly. They were also serving regular meals…
They also used absorbable threads, so there’s no need to remove the threads……
The scar was rather long because the knife was stabbed and then roughly pulled out, so the wound on the skin got bigger, not to mention the internal organs……
I won’t forgive that criminal!!!
I mean, he would have been executed by now.
Well, that’s why, in the middle of the night when there were no rounds, I brought McCoy-san in using transition for a brief examination, and since I came to the conclusion that her stay was obviously being stretched, I forced them to discharge us.
No, it would have been a different story if there had been a convincing explanation, but as expected, it was against professional ethics to tell lies about her medical condition, and when the doctor in charge of her case was unable to give a proper explanation and slurred when I asked about the prospect of her discharge, I had zero trust in him.
The payment was made in cash, using this country’s banknotes, which had been exchanged in advance.
I don’t use account transfers or anything like that because I don’t want the source of the transfer to be traced back to me.
Then I said, ‘I didn’t inform the national government because if I did, we would be forced to return home. So, I’m personally handling the hospital expenses……” We shook off the people at the hospital who were trying to hold us back, paid our bills, and ran away, leaving the hospital.
They said they would give us a discount, but hospitals usually don’t give discounts……
I guess it’s the instructions from the top… maybe…….
Well, that’s how we ended up being discharged from the hospital.
After leaving the hospital and confirming that it was not visible, we transferred.
The destination…
“We’re back!~” (Colette)
To Colette-chan’s cheerful voice…
““““““Welcome back!!””””””
Simultaneous voices from all of the servants were heard.
Yeah, I let them know in advance that Colette-chan would be leaving the hospital today and what time she was scheduled to be there.
So, the welcome was for Colette-chan, not me.
……Apparently, in recognition of her achievement in protecting me, the words used to greet her were honorific.
Colette-chan’s resting place was the Viscount Yamano’s estate mansion.
I don’t think it’s possible, but in this case, Colette-chan’s condition may suddenly change due to an infection from an open wound, or the wound may open from a fall, so I would like to avoid my Japanese residence or her parent’s place where she can be alone for a time.
Here at the estate, there will always be the eyes of all the maids, and there will be no shortage of people to talk to, so that Colette-chan, who was still forbidden to work, would not be bored.
We also have a radio so if something happens, she can contact me even if I am in the capital.
Besides, her parents’ place was prone to scratches because the toilet was… that thing, and considering the sanitary condition of the room, it was the first thing I eliminated from my options.
Also, at her parents’ house, Colette-chan would force herself to work.
We can feed her nutritious food here, and we can all keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn’t eat too much and put extra pressure on her belly……
I will ask her parents, who must be worried about her, to come here to the territorial residence.
It was also a good opportunity to see where their daughter works.
I was sure that at the “General Trade Mitsuha” in the capital, Me, Sabine-chan, her sister Chie, and Ruhen-kun would be there for most of the time, but the idea of taking a rest at the “General Trade Mitsuha” was rejected.
In the royal capital, Colette-chan can’t take a walk or go out, and she can’t take a rest properly.
…No, Colette-chan was very popular in the capital…
She’s treated as a hero as “a loyal vassal who used her body to protect the Hime Miko” and “a girl embodying loyalty”.
Since the incident occurred in full view of the public, the royal court was inundated with inquiries asking if the girl had survived, and the department in charge of the case was in a state of confusion.
And a few days later, “Colette Manju”, “Colette Sembei”, “Loyal Girl Dolls,” and various other products were already on sale and became the bard’s favorite tale to sing.
I heard there’s a theater group in the capital rehearsing a play right now……
Of course, all of these were unauthorized, and without paying a single coin for rights or anything at all.
……They’re doing well……
No, of course, I’m not going to ask for money for these.
There’s no way I’d profit out of Colette-chan’s sacrifice.
Well, that’s why it would be a big deal if Colette-san went out for a walk in the royal capital for rehabilitation.
She might get worshiped by the elderly or asked to ‘touch the kids,’ but she might also be badly mobbed and jostled, the wound may open up and it won’t be a laughing matter.
I, who had been jostled after the absolute defense of the royal capital and had the wound on my shoulder open up and bleed, ruining my dress, would be persuasive enough to say so.
……So, it’s still a long time before Colette-chan can come to the royal capital.
“Colette-chan, you are not allowed to work until I give you permission to do so. After that, I’ll have you return to work in stages, after studying, doing paperwork, taking a walk around the territory, and doing light work.
If you rush and push yourself too hard, the wound may open up and it will take longer for you to fully recover. That would be detrimental to me. Do you understand?” (Mitsuha)
“Yeah… Yes…” (Colette)
Right now, that’s not a word as a friend, but instructions as a boss. That’s why Colette-chan corrected her ‘yeah’ to ‘yes’.
Colette-chan was serious in this part.
“And for the time being, I’ll put restrictions on overeating and eating and drinking cold foods. You have to avoid putting too much pressure on your stomach and having diarrhea.” (Mitsuha)
“E e e e e e eh!~” (Colette)
Colette-chan apparently thought that once she was discharged from the hospital, she would no longer be restricted from eating and drinking, and cried out in despair.
It’s not only Colette-chan who doesn’t seem to understand the significance of what I said at this point in time, but also, all of the servants who were present to greet her before they had even unloaded the luggage in their hands yet.
That’s right. The fact that we spoke in front of the other servants, and not just the two of us, means that it was an instruction to the servants to keep an eye on Colette-chan.
“…………”
Don’t look at me with those moist eyes.
Colette-chan knew that I was not being mean to her, so even though she was making a lot of appeals with her eyes, she couldn’t seem to say it out loud.
……Just give up, okay?
Everything else was humble and modest, but without restrictions, Colette-chan would binge drink and eat, and that’s a big NO.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I have heard that Rikidozan‘s condition worsened because he ignored the doctor’s instructions and ate and drank immediately after the surgery, which was absolutely prohibited, and he died even though the surgery was a success.
Even if it is a hoax, I am not going to risk it and let Colette-chan do something reckless after her surgery.
……No, the doctors have already told me that she can eat a normal diet……
But still, I won’t take any unnecessary risks.
Even the stone bridges can be knocked down and broken.
That was the motto of the Yamano household!
