Silver Lining

Raisa II

"Father!"

Cree tried to ease his father's pain by untying the bandage.

Before he could touch it, Raisa grabbed Cree's hand.

"Stop, Cree. If you touch it carelessly, there's gonna be an infection."

She looked serious and her words sound firm.

She's not acting like Raisa that Cree knew.

Her silver eyes always emit warm feelings now cold and lifeless.

Raisa used her ability right away.

She examined Cree's father's condition and opened her mouth.

"Cree."

"Y-yes!"

"Do you have warm water?"

"Yes...thanks to noona. It's easy for me to buy charcoal and matches this winter."

Raisa rummaged something in her bag.

She grabbed a fluffy white towel and give it to Cree.

"Drenched this in hot water."

Then, she grabbed another towel to put it under the father's wounded thigh carefully.

Cree hurried went outside to lit the charcoal on fire to boil some water.

As he step outside, he still could hear his father's grunt.

He tried his best not to cry.

Out of a sudden, he could hear stable breathing instead of a painful moan.

"Everything is gonna be alright."

A calm and warm voice could be heard.

It's the same voice that save him 5 months ago.

Cree continued walking away from his house to complete his task.

Raisa on the other side used her second ability.

Delay.

This ability had manifested when she just joined the Healer Team. It's really helpful for her as she doesn't have any healing type ability. 

Also, at that time when society just started to build, the amount of anesthetic is really low. So the price for 100 ml for it is really expensive.

However, her ability could be used as an anesthetic in some way. To be accurate, she just delay the pain the patients felt.

When it comes to a combat situation, she can delay the monster's movement. Of course, depends on what type of monster she's dealing with.

Unranked monster, 1-2 minutes.

Grade 1 monster, 5-8 minutes

Grade 2 monster, 10-20 minutes.

Grade 3 monster, 30-40 minutes.

That's how much time she could delay for certain monsters.

She looked at the old man who was drenched in his sweat with relief.

'Thank goodness, he's calm down.'

She untied the bandage carefully without touching the wound.

Her eyes shook.

"What's going on here? Last time, there's no wound on his thigh...."

She looked at the pale old man who coincidentally staring at her.

"Mr. Buck, how the hell you got this wound?"

Jung Yeon Hwa's personality came out unconsciously.
