In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

134 His big mistake

It was six o’clock in the morning, and Anne tiredly forced herself to wake up from her bed, one pair of eyes peek at her shadow, and Chikara came to greet his master, this was their routine since the little demon kitten matured into a young demon cat.

‘Good morning master, how are you feeling today?’

“Oh, good morning Chikara, I am fine and ready to conquer the world.” Said Anne, smiling at her familiar, “Did you have your meal of the day?”

‘Not yet, I am going to hunt some turchick in the forest later on, but for now, I need to be in your shadow.’

Rolling her eyes, she confronted Chikara for his reason to stay with her, “Don’t tell me because I am going to meet with Vale today.”

‘… One of the reasons.’

“Ugh, we are just going to buy some paint!” Said Anne while glaring her eyes at her familiar.

Without even saying any words, Chikara excused himself and disappeared. She knows that her familiar never like the four gentlemen, but to be this alert all the time by their presence feels a bit annoying from Anne’s perspective. But, she can never blame Chikara for it. Her familiar knew the misery that she had gone through for two years, how she cried thinking about her adopted parents and how perfect her life seemed with the four men who adored her.

As much as she wanted to have a piece of that happiness again, her conversation with that woman still lingered a gift that she hadn’t expected but had been given. The witch of the mountain had played her, played with her destiny and also the fate of the four of them. She took her time on the bed and go outside to enjoy the morning sunshine. When she stepped outside, no other words can describe how happy she is right now.

.....

“I was right. This is a perfect room for me.”

The flowers begin to bloom when the sunlight touched, and small birds and butterflies came to feast with the abundant variety of plants and flowers everywhere. The sweet smell of an array of aromas that came from it also teased her nose. Anne inhaled the smell and begin her routine light exercise.

“Oh sh*t, she really was living in the tool shed!”

A voice of a man gave Anne a surprise, she turns around to see a group of men looking directly at her.

“Hey, we came to check on our flowers and plants, please… just ignore us.” Said one man.

Forgetting about the general garden policy, Anne looks at almost ten of her seniors and colleagues scattered around in their own planter boxes. Only one or two heads glancing at her and then whispering to each other, she found herself trap like a zoo animal, a bit uncomfortable. Anne went into the public bath, avoiding all the healers that occupied the rooftop.

Somehow, she thinks that having a shed in a room wasn’t such a good idea at all.

“I should’ve been asking for a dorm room instead!” Gruntled Anne, when she finally reached the public bath that was on the first floor.

One hour later, Anne was enjoying her breakfast. She was sitting on the corner, observing every healer on the table. Surprisingly, everyone just ate their breakfast in silence. Not so many conversations were going on inside the breakfast room. Until Nathan came with a young man to her table.

“Hey, I thought you were still sleeping in your she… I mean, your room.” Nathan said cheerily to her.

Anne gave him a smile. “Good morning senior, always wakes up at six, becomes a habit of mine.”

“I guess it’s probably good for you. The gardening club likes to check on their plants at six in the morning. It will be chaos on the rooftop.” Said Nathan while munching on his butterbread and turchick egg poach.

“Wait, the gardening club? So not everyone can use that planter box?” Asked Anne, while looking at his superior.

The other young man who accompany Nathan was the one who answered her question, “No, only the gardening club has the authority to use the planter box, so, if you want to use the planter box, you need to join the gardening club.” Somehow, a frown that came from Anne’s face made the young man grin and suddenly introduce himself to Anne, “Hey, my name’s Leo, I’m a junior healer under Senior healer Nathan, just like you.”

“Oh, hello, pleased to meet you.” She offered her hand, and he accepted the friendly gesture. Anne likes the man, Leo looks like a cool platonic friend that you could be with.

“It’s good that you could be friendly to each other. You’re going to spend a lot of time together.” Nathan reminded them, as their senior healer who got five healers under his command.

“Alright, senior,” Leo was smirking at his superior. He even added a salute, he turn his attention back to Anne, “I’ve heard you’re going to begin tomorrow morning. We have the same shift.”

Anne nodded her face and asked her new acquaintance, “Where should I report to duty tomorrow?”

“Let’s go together, I’ll show you around.” Said Leo to Anne. He was genuinely want to help her, feeling a deep sympathy after everyone told him about her tragic story.

Feeling grateful for his kindness, Anne smiled and asked him about the time for them to meet the next day. They agreed on the time and continued to have a small talk before Anne got distracted by a big bird that was coming on her way. The bird with a silver feather, perching on the open window beside Anne, Nathan and Leo, almost falls from their chairs.

“Gods! What a big bird! Who’s the master of this huge bird?!” Leo looks at Silver Hawk with admiration in his eyes.

Silver Hawk ignores him, and the two beady eyes go directly to Anne.

‘Miss Anne, my master suddenly fell ill and needs to be contained in his room.’

She put on her fork and suddenly worried about Vale. “Oh, what happened? Should I go and check on him?”

‘My master also said that he just needs to rest to fully recover. You don’t have to come… That was my master’s words, not mine.’

Giggling at how blunt Silver Hawk was, she couldn’t help herself brush into the soft feather of the magnificent bird, “Alright then, I will go to the captain’s barrack and probably accidentally send him some medicine, so what happened to him?”

Silver Hawk remained silent for a while. He pretends to groom himself, which makes Anne give him stink eyes. “Alright? What exactly happened, Silver Hawk?”

‘Probably it’s best for you to bring some salve, he… was fallen into the ground.’

Anne’s mouth gaped open, while Leo and Nathan really enjoyed the conversation between the two of them. “Oh my God! Was it bad?”

‘No, just bruises all over his face.’

A frown came over Anne’s face. “Did he fall face first? Nothing broken?”

‘No… Just… Bruises.’

“Bruises? Silver Hawk, did you hide something from me?” Anne glared at the bird, giving him a warning look.

‘Oh, my master is calling. I should go now, nice to meet you miss Anne.’

Running away from our heroine, Silver Hawk flies to the vast blue sky leaving Anne wondering what exactly happened to Vale.

“I was so entertained by the conversation, thank you, Anne.” Said Nathan and then he excused himself as he hates to be late for his shift.

This leaves Leo and Anne to be alone at the table, thankfully she already finished eating all of her porridge and also excused herself from the breakfast room. As much as she loved to meet new people, she still feels a bit awkward having a small talk with Leo, especially when she is now worried about what happened at Vale.

At eight o’clock, the gardening club has already gone from the rooftop. She finally could enjoy a little peace before preparing herself to go to the marketplace. She also brought along her salve and some drink that could help Vale. The busy morning already begins on the street. Anne took the central carriage and go to the marketplace.

This morning, not so many people were shopping at the marketplace. Anne used this to her advantage, she goes to the delivery service station and rent one delivery man to be carried all of her items back to the healer’s barrack. In this world, they have a system that is like a delivery service. Anne finally got all the items that she need and after signing the paper and giving the delivery boy the address and his fee, she rushed into the central carriage once again.

“You gave him a terrible answer, you *sshole!” Xavier was lounging on Vale’s sofa while the magi primary captain put some ice orbs at his blackened eye.

With one healthy eye, Vale looks at his friend and throws one of the ice orbs to him, “Shut up! That was the truth, Xave, she looked… God! She looks so beautiful,” He lay once more and imagined Anne’s beautiful face, “You should see her, Xave.”

“No, I refused to see her, I… I can’t…” Said Xavier to Vale. He stays quiet for a while and then his eyes go to Vale. “Vale, I need to tell you something…”

Vale just groaned at Xavier, “What is it?”

“I think I was making a big mistake right now.” Muttered Xavier, the words just enough for Vale to ignore his pain for a moment.
