Chapter 59 - Triage

Although he was a person with an orderly face, since the lower half of his face was covered in a thick beard, he gave off a strong boorish impression.“So what? What are you clamouring around for? Do you think we have time for this?”The knight who had pulled out his sword said pointing towards Tatsumi.However, Tatsumi was unperturbed by the gaze.

Calcedonia, standing besides Tatsumi, had a happy expression on her face.“Wha… what!? It’s Captain Taülorde’s… brother!?”The knight who had been passionately pointing fingers till now, became shocked as he looked at Taülorde and Tatsumi.Taülorde told Tatsumi and Calcedonia with a strict expression.He was the Captain of the second division of the Kingdom’s Knights, eldest son of Giuseppe and Calcedonia’s adoptive brother.After that, he started thinking of Tatsumi, who would always follow his words, as a brother in law. Also, after meeting him as a family member, Tatsumi also started trusting in his much older brother-in-law.Calcedonia looked back and forth between her brother-in-law and Tatsumi, troubled.“…Tatsumi?”Looking at Taülorde, his mood seemed to turn bad and he frowned at Tatsumi with a sharp gaze.“U, um… Brother.”Ever since acknowledging Tatsumi, Taülorde had been forcing him to call him “brother” or “brother-in-law.”“This is an urgent situation.

Explain concisely.”During a disaster or accident where medical supplies were limited, if there were many injured people, those requiring urgent care must be treated first. For this reason, before actually carrying out medical assistance, it was necessary to separate injured people according to urgency; Tatsumi explained this to Taülorde while desperately trying to recall the knowledge he had acquired from television dramas.“I see. This certainly is a reasonable way of thinking.

However, based on the social customs of this country, this idea is a foreign concept.”Regardless of the pros and cons of it, looking from the point of view of this country’s social norms, what Tatsumi had just said was, without question, a strange concept.“Regarding that point, His Majesty the King heard about this incident and ordered me to take command of this site. That is why I came to this place…”There were injured people collapsed everywhere; among them there were some who had lost consciousness.“M,me? Take command of this place…!?

Tha, that’s impossible!!”“Be that as it may, this ‘Tree-age’ thing you talked about is beyond our understanding. Nevertheless, I reckon that your method will save more lives. That being the case, isn’t it natural that you take command since you are the most familiar with this method?”“Still, it’s better than us who know nothing.

Do not worry, I will assist you with the minor details. Calcey will also follow your instructions.”“I apologize for going ahead without thinking earlier. I only thought about healing the injured as soon as possible…”If Calcedonia announced her name at this place, as the well-known Holy Maiden it would be convenient for carrying out medical help.“…Understood.

I’ll go ahead and try it.”Right now wasn’t the time to fret over the details. There may be injured people who needed immediate assistance.“Understood.”His men immediately gathered all the people Tatsumi had requested, and brought them back to Tatsumi.However, since the Royal Knight Taülorde and the well-known Holy Maiden were standing behind Tatsumi, nobody dared to complain.“Mark you say… for what reason do we have to mark them?”“That is so the severity of the injury can be determined in one glance. And then we will start applying healing magic starting from those who are more severely injured.”“Yes.

This method is probably unfamiliar to you guys, but please disregard the customs so far.”“I will take responsibility for this matter. Right now, shut up and follow his orders.”From the doctors’ point of view, receiving complaints from the nobles later was probably scary.However, if Taülorde who was the Captain of the Kingdom Knights said he would take responsibility then the doctors would not object to following Tatsumi’s orders.“That’s right… for people who are in danger if they don’t receive immediate care, please draw a big「○」in a place that is easy to spot. To those that have less urgent but severe injuries draw a「△」, and for those with slight injuries please draw a「＃」.”“Do you have something to draw with?

If not, will you quickly arrange it for Lord Taülorde?”One of the doctors tapped the bag he was holding; the rest of them nodded in assent. Then, they quickly set about determining the state of the injured.“Yes, understood.”Calcedonia bowed followed by the other wizards.“Understood.”After that, Tatsumi, together with Taülorde, settled down at the corner of the training field, and started giving out detailed instructions for dealing with the injured.He seriously considered the questions being asked, and tried to look for solutions by desperately recalling the answer that seemed best.While Tatsumi was dealing with this and that, a knight came up towards him.Tatsumi immediately noticed who he was. He was a knight who had been tormenting Tatsumi some time ago.The knight came close to Tatsumi and deeply bowed his head.The knight had a bitter smile while he held his bandaged left arm.

Because it looked to be slightly injured; there was a bandage wrapped around it.Now it was Tatsumi’s turn to smile bitterly. Because he was a man with the exact infinite power the knight just said to not exist.This person was the third son of an aristocrat. Since he couldn’t succeed his family, he entered the army to become a knight.“Is your injury okay?”The knight laughed while tapping his injured arm.“Ah, although it’s quite late, I am Gyle Eutorillos.

I would be glad if you go ahead and just call me Gyle.”Tatsumi and Gyle clasped each other’s hands.While Tatsumi and Gyle were shaking hands, Calcedonia ran over with a despondent expression.“Understood!! Show me!!”As soon as Tatsumi and Calcedonia started running together, Gyle also immediately followed after them.When Tatsumi had just arrived at the scene, a stake with the thickness of about 10 cm in diameter was stabbing the soldier’s right thigh.Moreover, when the logs collapsed and fell down, it looked like the soldier got injured on his head and other places and was currently unconscious.Calcedonia explained to Tatsumi with a sorrowful expression.“…But, if we pull out the stake just like this…most likely, the soldier will instantly start bleeding and may lose his life.”“That is why the moment this stake is pulled out I will apply my healing magic. Then, the bleeding can probably be suppressed to a minimum.”The 10 cm in diameter stake was completely piercing the soldier’s thigh.

If surgery is used it might be possible to get it out, but there was no advanced surgical technique in this world.“Let’s quickly gather helpers.”Tatsumi pulled the rushing girl to a stop.Looking at Tatsumi’s eyes, Calcedonia nodded. Then, kneeling next to the collapsed soldier, without worrying about getting her clothes dirtied by blood, the priestess began chanting a spell.“H-Hey… Tatsumi, Lady Holy Maiden, what are you…?”Just before Calcedonia’s chant was completed, she glanced at Tatsumi.The stake disappeared in the blink of an eye, and in the next moment a clanking sound rose up and scattered from the ground next to Tatsumi.Looking at the scene in front of him, Gyle’s eyes widened without thinking.The wound was closing before their eyes. In addition, the bleeding also lessened, and it looked like the bleeding could be kept to a minimum just as Calcedonia had presumed.Calcedonia checked the state of the soldier again.Calcedonia breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Tatsumi with a smile.“Wha…What…?

What happened…?”His brain couldn’t immediately comprehend what had just happened right in front of his eyes.But, the fact that the stake that was pierced into the soldier’s thigh instantly disappeared was beyond his understanding.A wizard that could use heaven system magic had appeared in somewhere near the capital.Gyle hadn’t believed in the rumour. He had thought that heaven magic users only existed in myths.The heaven wizard in the fairytales could pull distant objects to his hand, and conversely, a heaven mage could instantly send objects from his hands to the distance. In addition, the legends described the heaven wizard sending boulders into the sky.Also, in the rumour, he remembered it was said that the heaven wizard was a young man from a distant land with black hair, black eyes and pale amber coloured skin.Gyle, overcome with surprise, asked in a voice nobody could hear.
