In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

132 The unexpected guest

The rooftop is a bit windy today. Our purple hair heroine was still trying to comprehend her living situation. She glared at Nathan, while her mouth is wide open. The tool shed, although spacious, was dirty and full of broken and used gardening tools. The smell of fertilizers from the corner of the room makes their noses wince from the smell, the wooden floor is full of flowers and herbs seeds, safe to say the room was messed up.

“I am sorry, but actually we don’t have enough room for a junior healer right now. We have the captain’s room… But everyone already locked their eyes on you. We thought that you already have more heat from your haters.” Nathan said while scratching his head.

“You’re right… and… actually, this is perfect!” Anne gave her senior healer a warm smile, she look around the room with positivity on her mind.

Nathan tilted his head, confused by her cheery attitude. “Wait, you’re not upset about this?”

“Why? This place is actually the best room in this building.” Anne gave Nathan a smile while answering his questions.

“But Anne, this is not even a sleeping quarter! This is a tool shed! Aren’t you mad at us for giving you this horrible accommodation?!” Said Nathan with obvious frustration in his voice.

Giggles at Nathan’s outburst, Anne then tells him her reason to be excited about this tool shed room, “Well, first of all, this room is larger, almost double the size of the junior healer room. Am I right?” Nathan nodded his head. Anne then continued, “Second, did you look at the endless possibility of me on this rooftop? I could begin cultivating herbs for the medicine, and the third, the view…” She pointed at the sky above them, “Would you look at that? senior healer Nathan, I would look at this view every day.”

Huffing his breath, Nathan could only smile at Anne, who bravely displayed how patient she was. “I would ask for the cleaning staff to help you and then bring your furniture here.”

Anne, who was already cleaning the floor, gave her gratitude to Nathan. When the senior healer goes downstairs to ask for help, suddenly a pair of big cat eyes appear from Anne’s shadow.

.....

‘Master, do you need my help?’

“What are you going to do, Chikara? Clawing this room, or light your fire breath here?” Anne asked her familiar, who then blinked several times before he disappear.

‘Makes sense, good day master’

“Wait! Chikara!” Anne immediately called on her familiar, before he disappeared into her shadows, “how about instead of helping me here, you called on Darla and Brom to come and help me.”

‘That I can do. I’ll be as fast as I can be, master.’

After Chikara said the word, the mighty demon cat hybrid jumped from Anne’s shadow, his body was as huge as the tool shed, thankfully as a familiar, he also gained the ability to be invisible from everyone besides his master, and the body will be able to go through in every surface.

Chikara run by driving the wind, making him look like he was flying, another ability that wasn’t from his demon cat heritage. Sniffed into the air, he was looking for two people that helped his master so much for two years. He loves Darla and Brom; they came to visit occasionally, bringing food or herbs that Anne might need it. Sometimes there was a time Brom left behind with Chikara, while Darla and Anne go to have their ladies’ time. Chikara knows about his master’s feelings for the four gentlemen, and that’s why he never likes them. Deep down in his two hearts, he knows that the four of them will someday break his master’s heart.

He found Darla inside her barrack, the huntsman barrack was in the outer region of the capital, between the forest and the main road. The huntsman barrack actually resemblance a tree house, instead of giving them rooms in one building, the huntsman actually lived inside tree houses scattered in the outer forest, with only a small building for the staff’s room that comprising matrons, cleaning staff, chef, the canteen, and the lounge room for the visitors.

Darla’s room was newly constructed two years ago. It is a small but cozy tree house, with a bed and study, also a small kitchen custom made by her, because of how hungry she was sometimes. Darla was in the middle of reading a book on her patio, a cup of moomilk was beside her, and variants of biscuits.

‘Miss Darla.’ Said Chikara from behind her.

Darla screamed and almost drop her book into the forest floor. She cursed and look at her back, “Chikara! Are you crazy?! I almost dropped my book. There’s plenty of my colleague down there!”

‘I am sorry, miss Darla, actually my master needs your help.’

Hearing Anne’s being mentioned by her familiar, Darla immediately stands up and faces Chikara who was hovering in the air, most huntsman already know who he is. Chikara sometimes came to Darla’s barrack to give her a message from his master.

“What happened to Anne, Chikara?” Asked Darla to the demon cat familiar.

‘She is fine, but she need help to clean her new room in the healer’s barrack.’

“Finally, when she told me that she will be back here, I thought she was joking.” Darla chuckles, while she goes inside her room, “I’ll be there immediately. Please search for Brom to meet me in the healer’s barrack. He was in the north forest, with his team.”

‘Thank you, miss Darla, I’ll see you soon.’

But then, Darla turned back to Chikara, who’s already walked away to go to Brom. “Sh*t! I forgot to tell him something important.” She scratches her head and doesn’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, Anne was accompanied by Nathan and two cleaning staff were trying to lift her bed to the rooftop. The bed was coming from one of the empty captain’s rooms and chief Hale already agreed to allocate the furniture to her room on the rooftop.

The problem lay when they need to carry the bed to the rooftop. They can use the lift because of the size of the bed and the only way they can carry the bed was by the stairs.

“Who’s idea… to carry… this heavy oakle wood bed… to the rooftop by hand?!” Screamed Nathan, full of frustration.

“It was you that told us to carry it by hand, senior.” This time, Anne glared at him.

“Oh, Gods! I think my days are already numbered!” sounded the other cleaning staff.

Almost one hour later, they could only carry the bed to the third floor. Every floor was almost empty. The one that has free time sometimes uses it to go somewhere, and the others, of course still inside the main hospital. But just at the right time, Darla came upstairs and looked amused by their attempt to carry the heavy oakle woods bed.

“Oh, Gods! Is that oakle woods? No wonder you guys are almost out of breath.” She prepared herself and with a bit of a grunt, Darla lifted the bed. The others were stunned by her display of raw power. Darla then huffed and glared at them. “Well? What are you waiting for? Let’s bring this bed together!”

They finally brought the bed onto the rooftop. When Darla saw her room, she actually grinned at her best friend.

“Hey, not bad, have good sunshine from the window, and a sunroof!” She squealed when she pointed at the sunroof. “This could be the best room in this building after fresh paint. I mean, look at how spacious this place is?!”

Anne was smiling at her friend, she feels the same when she saw the potential in this tool shed. “You’re right, that’s why I’ll need to buy some paint first thing in the morning.”

“D*mn! My shift started at midnight. I can’t go with you.” Said Darla with a curse.

“It’s alright, I can go by myself. For now, how about helping me carry the rest of the furniture? It will be easier since it could fit into the lift.” She tried to cheer Darla, and it actually works wonders. She knows how Darla sometimes likes to be called a helpful friend.

Darla run to the rooftop door and shouted at Anne, “You stay here. Let me help Nathan and the cleaning staff carry your furniture.”

“Thank you, Darla!” Anne shouted at her, while she put a temporary sheet into her bed. Tomorrow she needs to paint her now-called shed and decorate everything.

Every tool is already being put in outside, just beside her shed, while the fertilizers and seeds are being carried into the side of the wall near the door, there’s enough roof to keep them dried for now. Anne was thinking about making a closed cabinet or probably a small tool shed for all the previous items that were scattered here before.

Singing while she put the sheet, and even twirl a bit, Anne never expected that two men were at her door, watching her move around until one man cleared his throat to warn Anne of their presence. Squealed, Anne turn her body and saw Brom with a man that she recognize from two years ago, a man with wavy brown hair and green emerald eyes, staring back at her.

“Vale? What… What are you doing here?” Asked Anne with obvious panic in her eyes.
