Hilde's Intimacy story

Master, how about making a proper meal plan? And stop giving the Apostles whatever they want.

I see... it must be tough for you. I think I understand. Even at the hospital, I hear complaints during meal times.

...Isn't that just because you're too lazy?

Of course, everyone has preferences. However, to eat healthily, you need to eat things you don't like too.

I'm worried everyone's too carefree. I hope they can live a more balanced and healthy life.

Everyone lives however they want, right? Make sure to take care of your health, Master.

Can you tell if you have good genes?

Because you're like this, everyone else is living without thinking?

The patients who come for treatment are all pretending to be sick. I wish there were more chance to treat real illnesses.

Huh? Ahaha, ri-right.

*Sigh* I'm grateful for your words, but if I haven't accepted them, the hospital might really disappear.

What do you mean? Mental illness means distorting reality and having trouble adjusting to society... Oh?

Humans' combat ability is surprisingly amazing. I never thought it's possible to suppress us with such primitive weapons...

You speak like an elf, even though you're human.

...In that case, elves might be better.

Huh? How many races have you destroyed by now?

We have counseling programs at our hospital. Do you have any concerns you'd like to talk about?

Is there really a debate over wearing glasses? Then you really need counseling.

That's a proof you're living hard. Come visit the hospital when you have time.

You seem to be quite proud. But as a professional, I can say this is closer to a standing comedy.

Hmm... Master, you have a serious addiction to pinching cheeks.

I guess that's a part of Earth's culture...

It seems quite serious... I have to find a way to force you into treatment soon...

...First... the patients... shows a strong tendency to avoid responsibility...

Personally, I'm curious about the medical industry on Earth. Do you know anything?

Huh? Do interns sleep?

Doctors are treated like a tool... It's just as horrible as here.

It's similar to us... But I think such trials are necessary for a job handling others' lives.

*Sigh* I was once a rival to Elena, but now I'm just an underling of hers who has to watch my step due to budget issues...

Anyway, it's impossible to harm others here. I don't know if I should be happy about it...

Why are you blinking your eyes like that? If something is in there, I can take it out for you.

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Wouldn't it be more convenient to apply a reservation system to the Banquet Hall, like in a hospital?

Extemporally cook for a customer who extemporally showed up... You're quite confident, huh? If it pleases you...

Good to hear that. If you don't set times, there will be troublesome customers who arrive late or won't leave.

That's such an accurate prediction I can't argue with it. I might be wrong.

I feel a bit reluctant to integrate magic into medical science. Am I being too stubborn about it?

Indistinguishable from magic... Don't say anything so lightly!

It's a bit different, but thanks for trying to understand.

Humans call themselves adapting animals, right? I think that attitude is something to learn.

Hmm... I think I ate too quickly and got a bit of indigestion. Where did I put that emergency medicine...?

Huh? Hehe... It's been a while since I've been treated like a child. I don't hate it.

What is that? A folk remedy? Thanks, but no thanks.

Ah, it was in my bag. Thank you.

We've had a lot more patients waiting at the hospital lately. What services would be helpful to provide for them while they wait?

Um, are you trying to put all of our patients to sleep? That might not be too bad, actually...

Snacks aren't good for your health... and honestly, some patients might complain if the selection isn't to their taste.

Health-related columns, magazines, research papers... And maybe even some picture books for the folks who dislike reading. Thank you.

I just thought of an old medical TV drama I used to enjoy. Did you like medical dramas, Master?

Hehe...! I can just picture the dramatic scene where the protagonist is carrying out a major surgery when you said that.

Oh, you know that series?! I'm so glad to have someone to geek out with about my favorite drama. Hehe.

I see. Yeah, everyone's entitled to their own preferences.

More patients than I thought seem hesitant or fearful about coming to the hospital. What about you, Master?

Hmm... It is even scarier to be neglectful about cavities, you know...

Ah, then maybe it's best not to give painful treatments to patients who are just faking it. We wouldn't want to scare off all our patients...

Really? Hehe... That sounds like a challenge... Let's see how you handle your next appointment!

Master, do you exercise regularly?

Hmm... not really... Do I need to get my eyes checked again...?

Of course not. It's time you got into the habit of exercising regularly... for your own good, Master!

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. Maybe we could take a walk sometime and get some light exercise in once you have a bit of time?

Master, when was the last time you cleaned the banquet hall?

Master! Keeping the kitchen is a must! Ugh... I just lost my appetite.

Wow, your hygiene standards are quite impressive. I can come over without any worries!

Hmm... It seems we'll need to start regular hygiene inspections of the banquet hall.

Oh! I suddenly want to see some of those adorable werebeasts! Do they visit the Banquet Hall often?

That's nice. I'll be able to run into them at the Banquet Hall later. Hehe.

Aww! When you see them, please tell them I'm always waiting for them at the hospital.

Hmm... They haven't been visiting me much these days either... I guess that means they're healthy, so that's probably a good sign, right?

I'd like to treat you to something delicious someday, too, Master. What kind of food do you like?

Oh, that's a first! Many patients say that the food at the hospital is horrible. Hehe.

You only realize the value of something once it's gone... I miss the food from that place sometimes, too.

Master... there's no way you're skipping your next checkup.

I had such a busy day today. Having ten clones of myself wouldn't even have been enough to help... *Siiigh*...

How many elves in Elias do you think are actually interested in medicine, Master?

I can't do that. My research isn't something that trivial and meaningless!

Aww, you're so kind and thoughtful, Master. Thank you for offering. That alone is enough!

Sometimes I feel like Amelia is too wary of me. I wonder what goes on in her head to cause that...

Do you think so? It's not like I'm even that close with Elena... I don't understand.

Hmm... Maybe it's connected to an inferiority complex, feelings of inadequacy, or a need for self-preservation? Anyway, thanks for the compliment. Hehe.

What?! There's no way Amelia would be like that! She's pretty clear about her likes and dislikes...
