Secret's! [War Of K-M-DGsp-M4221] Locked OSO.0
[B1-15] How to Cure Without a System (4/4)

Ret looked at the wounds on Sei's body. However, the expression on his oriental face was very puzzled.

How can I heal such wounds, uh, Ret thought. He kept thinking about finding a solution.

But no matter how hard he thought, Ret found nothing but a solution for first aid.

“I am going to Kombini first, want to buy first aid equipment for your injuries,” Ret asked Sei who continues to weaken, “What can?”

Sei just nodded lightly. “Ng.”

It must have been very painful, huh, Ret thought, once again glancing at the wounds on Sei's body. “I'm out for a minute. Don't die here, ok?”

Sei just laughed blankly, “Hahaha.” Then lie down while closing his eyes while Ret is out of the room.

Ret went downstairs, and there was not a single person around. Because it was almost midnight, all the Lower Class Residents were taking a break to wait for tomorrow.

“I haven't bought a P3K box in a long time, huh,” muttered Ret. I never wanted to try it again, because I had bad luck.

Ret runs towards nearby Kombini―dia heading to the same Kombini she was aiming for in the morning.

Arriving before the vending machine in the medicine section, Ret frowned.

Credit again, huh. Until when should I waste Credits like this, Ret thought, sighing in frustration.

Prices shown in P3K vending machines are listed: 6 Credits, 12 Credits, and 24 Credits. The price is only to distinguish the number of tools in one P3K Box, while the contents of the tools in the Box are generally the same.

Ret stuffed his smartphone into a payment instrument in a P3K Box vending machine.

“It hurts.” Sure do. Ret directly touched the square column of 6 Credits, after she unplugged her smartphone from the means of payment.

The P3K box came out of the vending machine hole, and Ret picked it up. Even though in the Box there are tools for First Aid In Accidents. “There's also a fever cure here, huh, I'm lucky enough, it turns out.” Because normally only get tools such as gauze and pads in one Box.

After looking at the contents of the P3K Box he was holding, Ret saw a grandprize screen on the P3K Box vending machine in front of him that read: HIV Drug Grand Prize!!! Only Until the End of the Year!!

Well. Even though I didn't know what HIV was, Ret thought, reading the writing in confusion. “Which for sure, it will be sold with not a little Credit.”

He opened the P3K Box he got, and smiled as he looked at the contents of the box.

... I was lucky enough to get this fever cure, Ret thought.

P3K box uses gacha system. The high credit for the P3K Box printed on the automatic selling machine does not show the quality of the drug, even usually there is no drug at all in it.

The contents in a P3K Box purchased at a vending machine can get Aids, Hiv, or various Virus drugs. And Grandprize drugs continue to change, depending on the trend of disease suffered by the community.

“The most famous of it,” Ret said, nodding expectantly, “Morphine certainty: painkillers. If I get it, I will definitely get rich.”

Eliminating his delusions of getting morphine, Ret turned around and headed back to the Inn.

Arriving in front of the door of his room, Ret opened the door and saw Sei was changing clothes. He was pecking on the spot, looking at the smooth white skin of the woman before him.

“Ng...” Long enough Ret noticed Sei who said to her, “Can come out for a while?”

“Ah!” Ret regained consciousness, and immediately turned his face away. “Oke.”

“And save that P3K Box,” said Sei, pointing to the floor while covering his body. “On the floor is also fine.”

“Uh.” Ret store P3K Box on floor and out of room. “ini―”

He re-entered the room while saying excitedly, “If you want me to help―”

“You're out, Rat.” Sei who will stand up, said in a cold tone, “Out ..?”

“OK!” sahut Ret, "I'll be out, then."

Ret finally exited the room while closing the door.

Uh. How long do I have to wait?! Do I have to, Ret thought, still clutching tightly to the doorknob. “I think it's a bad idea.”

“I'm done,” said Sei, from inside his room. “You can enter now, Rat.”

Ret rushed into his room, after hearing Sei's voice. On his bed, Sei unlicensedly wore clothes that were familiar to him.

“What's up? Ng?”

“Nothing.”

Ret walked towards the table in front of him.

“Ah!” Suddenly, he remembered something. “I don't get alcohol or betadine, is that okay? It's really hard to get those two things in this Area.0, huh.”

Liquor and alcoholic beverages or the like are only in the Upper Class Resident Area and the Regional Population clusters on it.

“Nothing,” replied Sei weakly, “I will heal by itself, ng, just relax.”

As Ret sat on the chair, the day had changed, and Sei was lying on his bed. The woman wore white clothes but did not contrast with her tattered black mask.

Early in the day greeted the two of them with utmost exhaustion, on their bodies.

“Today I was so unlucky, huh.” Ret opens the book in front of him. “Very tiring.”

Sei just let out a little sound, “Ng?”

Ret continued reading, ignoring Sei who was staring at him.

“Oh, yes,” Ret asked him, “That was a shot wound, right? Did you get the bullet out?!”

“Weapons in the Era now,” replied Sei, raising the corner of his lips, “Nobody uses material bullets, stupid ..”

“Uh. Me,” said Ret, ”don't know about it, really ...”

The atmosphere of the room where the two of them were resting became quiet, and there was only the sound of the book sheet Ret turning back.

He closed the book and sat down facing Sei, then said, “Nah..... Now, I want to discuss this. Those wounds on your body won't heal, I'm sure. I just got some fever medicine and some gauze and bandages that you've been wearing. Alcohol and Betadine or something like that are morphine-skeletal drugs, you know, right, how do you heal those wounds, without a System?! Do you have any ideas?”

“Where do you know this wound on my body won't heal?” ask Sei.

“Uh,” snort Ret, shrug. “I just don't want any bodies in the room I rented. That will be very troublesome for me later.”

Sei frowned, suspicious, and started staring at Ret.

Moreover, it's your corpse that is a traitor, damn it, thought Ret, staring intently behind the woman who was lying weak on her bed.

“You,” ask back Sei to him, “like buying information, right?”

“Uh ...” Ret wants to argue. However, he could only flutter, saying, “A-I..”.

Ret looks nervous in the dark, because buying information is illegal in the Entertainment Age.

“Not what.” Sei grinned widely, while saying weakly, “We are both ‘criminals’ now, right, Rat?”

“I don't like the way you say it like that,” grumbled Ret, pursing her lips.

“Ng.” Sei nodded lightly, and continued saying, “There, those who are still part of ‘kami’ ... They, can cure―although still have to pay with Kredit―different far with the vision of ‘kami’ who always stay away from Credit from the World System completely..”.

“’They’?!” tanya Ret, feeling confused but curious, “Who ..?”

Me was silent for a moment and looked at Ret, with a weak look.

“.... Herbalish.”
