Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Subconsciously wanted to go to answer the door, this move was quickly stopped by Mr. Sui.

He held Flo in place while he made his way to the door.

Of course, in this demon king's palace, there are only a few people who are still walking around freely at such a late hour.

Xus: ...so you are "all" awake.

Master Xus is holding a medium-sized box with descriptive text on it, which seems to be a pile of medical supplies.

Although this room is being used to take care of patients and has relatively complete facilities, it is worse than a real hospital after all.

Sui: ...do you have anything to do?

Since Mr. Sui was injured, this adult should have seen him awake for the first time, but there was no surprise on his face, as if it was logical.

Master Xus' eyes wandered around the room for a long time, and finally settled on the palm of Flo's hand clutching the side of his neck.

Xus: Ahhh.

Am I bothering you?

There was a mysterious and complicated smile on his face, and his tone seemed to be gossip about other people's private affairs.

Before the two people here could give a corresponding answer, he went straight into the house with the box in his arms.

The box wasn't that big, but one could feel its weight by watching his movements.

It happened that neither of them had slept, so it was fine to put them on any bed, and Master Xus chose the one closest to the door - the one that Flo had napped on earlier.

Flo: Master Xus, what is this?

Xus: Bandage antiseptic, anti-inflammatories, stuff like that.

In addition to the medicines that have been used here, there are also new varieties for us to choose from a few days ago.

Sure enough, after opening the box, there is a dazzling array of things inside.

Of course, you don’t have to worry about the ones you are used to, but the newly added categories don’t even have a reasonable label on them, so people have to doubt their composition. , especially since this is a life-saving drug, it's a big deal if it's fake.

Sui: Is it okay, this.

Xus: These were sent by Roat for atonement.

Don't worry, that guy is crazy, not to the point of madness.

Sui: ...It sounds like you trust that guy a lot.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance?

In fact, among the three people present, only Mr. Sui didn't get along with that guy very much.

When the guy stabbed the knife that day, Flo was not surprised or angry at the first time. He froze on the spot, watching the blood spread on the ground, but his heart remained calm until Master Xus, who was also present, rushed forward to arrest the criminal. Flo belatedly realizes that someone is hurt.

What happened to his state of mind at that time... This is one of the thoughts that has been bothering him during this time.

Xus: I'm not familiar with them, we've known each other for almost two years... probably, I can't remember.

But I "could see" him lying, faking it or not, so no problem.

—Wait a minute... Come on, try this.

It is said to be very helpful in treating anemia.

Sui: Eh.

Well, thank you for your kindness... I am not anemic...

Xus: Alright, alright, anyway, give it a try.

Master Xus seems to have a plan in his mind?He clearly knew that Mr. Sui's bloodthirsty problem was a quirk passed down from generation to generation in their family.

Unable to bear this man's obstinacy and stubbornness, Mr. Sui took the vial.

Curious, Flo took a closer look.

The bottle itself is a brown bottle, and the color of the liquid medicine cannot be seen, only that it is a light color.

The liquid medicine has a strong smell, and as soon as the lid is opened, you can smell the sweet fragrance from a distance—at least it's not unpleasant.

Xus: ...

how do you feel?

Sui: No... Even if it does work, it won't be so fast.

Xus: Right.

Cough, sit down, let me check the condition of the wound.

The box was put lightly on the ground, and Master Xus kicked and swept it under the bed so as not to get in the way.

Then, he approached the wounded patient righteously, frightening him with his aura.

Flo doesn't know if it's appropriate to say that, because Mr. Sui and Mr. Xus have a height difference of more than 20 centimeters, and this scene looks... interesting.

Of course, even if they are acquaintances, seeing these two so close, they will feel a little sore in their hearts.

Flo: That, Master Xus.

If possible, can you replace me?

Xus: ...Good idea.

Sorry, I forgot to take your feelings into account.

——The main purpose is to change the bandage, is that okay?

Flo: Well, to this extent, yes, I can.

Unlike this grown-up, Flo's understanding of medical skills is only to the extent of commonly used medicines for colds and simple treatment methods for wounds.

Master Xus should have considered his own feelings, so these days he often handed over similar trivial matters within his power to him.

Sui: You guys really have a good relationship...

With a sudden sound, Mr. Sui looked up and locked on Flo's forehead.

Then Flo remembered that the peace pattern was still shining on his forehead.

Master Xus, who is good at observing words and expressions, accidentally let out a smile, he immediately waved his hand and made an unintentional joke, and then approached.

Like during the day, he stretches his hand up until it touches the skin.

After rubbing the finger lightly for a moment, the pattern was withdrawn.

Flo: Speaking of which, Master Xus.

what is this?

Xus: By adjusting the flow of psychic power - you can't understand it anyway - in short, as you guessed, it is something that can help calm the mind.

This is an original creation that I am proud of.

After finishing speaking, he stretched happily.

He said that the purpose of coming this time was just to confirm the situation at night as usual, and he could basically feel at ease seeing this.

So he opened the door and went out. Before closing the door tightly, he pretended to be mischievous and joked:

Xus: It's only halfway through tonight, isn't it?

I wish you a "good day".

Flo couldn't quite understand the hidden meaning in his words, but Mr. Sui who was beside him stopped his throat.

Curiously wanting to ask what was going on, he kept silent.Upon closer inspection, it was rare to see that she blushed.

Mr. Sui was still in a state of "blood deficiency" a while ago... At least Flo knows that this "anemia" problem can be regarded as relief...
