Two hours later, Ruti, Rit, and I were assembled in Kate’s house.

“Swallow this pill with some water.”

I gave Kate the anesthetic.

“In ten minutes, once you are lying down, I’ll have you take one more. Everything will start to feel fuzzy. You can just close your eyes when that happens.”

After talking it through with her father and husband, Kate had elected to try the operation.

I’d worried they wouldn’t put their faith in an outsider. Fortunately, this was a village that saw many vacationing nobles, so the general perception of outsiders was that they possessed a wealth of knowledge. That ended up working in my favor.

“Okay.”

Recognizing that the medicine was taking effect, I wiped down a small knife with alcohol.

“You know about medicine and actual doctor procedures. I learned how to stitch wounds as an adventurer, but I’d never be able to do something like this,” Rit commented. She was assisting me.

The knife I used was Rit’s—one she’d acquired from an ancient elf ruin in Loggervia. The blade made of an unknown metal was much sharper and sturdier than any steel one.

“Ha-ha, military doctors sort of run the gamut. We couldn’t bring the Bahamut Knights’ physician with us everywhere we went, so there were times we had to rely on medics from other squads… Thinking back on it now still makes me shiver.”

“Oh? What happened?”

“Well, there was one guy with a Monk blessing who could use healing magic four times a day, but that was all. He didn’t even know how to stop a wound from bleeding. And there was this awful Shaman who wouldn’t so much as administer first aid without a healthy dose of prayer. After a few incidents with people like them, the knights took their medical lectures seriously.”

“Ugh, that sounds rough.”

I moved beside Kate.

Okay, time to do this.

After double- and triple-checking that all of the tools I needed were gathered on the stand, I got to work.

“There’s a depth to keeping people alive that’s different from killing them.”

Something Danan said once surfaced in my mind. I’d fought countless times, so I understood how to cut skin. I knew where the internal organs were and how to run a blade through to slay a person.

And that experience was now being put to use in order to save this woman.

“Okay Rit, Ruti, I’ll be counting on you for backup.”

Reassured by their nods, I gently placed the knife against Kate’s stomach.
