Chapter 57: Shinobu's Face Turns Red Without Being Teased?
Ren, with his incredible learning ability, could even master on-the-spot knowledge about bizarre and unheard-of diseases as if they were nothing.
He walked into the dressing room, quickly changed his clothes, picked up a bench, and made his way to the gynecology department.
Ren sat down next to Kocho Shinobu, who was busy treating patients. Nearby, Kanzaki Aoi was assisting her.
Kocho Shinobu, being a doctor, had every reason to be here. Kanzaki Aoi had been called over temporarily to help, as Butterfly House was overwhelmed with patients.
But why was Ren here?
They both recalled Ren's comments at the branch office earlier about the gynecology department being a place for treating women.
Shinobu blinked and teased him gently, "Moshi moshi~, Ren, care to explain what you're doing here?"
Her soft tone carried a hint of amusement as she tried to make sense of why a 14-year-old boy had shown up here.
Ren, unfazed, responded with a question of his own, "As a doctor, shouldn't I be here?"
Shinobu was briefly stunned.
That's right! Ren was not just any teenager; he was a highly skilled doctor. She had momentarily forgotten his medical prowess and mistakenly assumed he was just another contestant in the competition.
Realizing her error, Shinobu tapped her forehead lightly and sighed. This competition really wasn't fair. Ren's opponents must have triggered some karmic law to deserve facing a prodigy like him.
But Shinobu couldn't help feeling relieved to have Ren's assistance. His expertise would significantly ease the workload at Butterfly House.
Shinobu turned to the waiting patients with a gentle smile. "Everyone, this is Dr. Ren from Butterfly House. Please feel free to queue up behind him!"
Kanzaki Aoi chimed in with a smile, "And let me add that Dr. Ren's skills are second to none. His treatments are among the best we offer!"
The injured villagers' eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Though Ren looked young, his composed demeanor exuded a confidence that instantly reassured the patients. With Shinobu and Kanzaki Aoi's endorsements, the patients eagerly lined up behind Ren.
The first group of patients was made up of injured villagers.
"Sir, I didn't expect you to be a doctor!" one exclaimed.
"Truly remarkable! You're so skilled at such a young age!" added another.
A group of older women whispered among themselves, waving their relatives over.
"Don't bother waiting in the long line. This young man's treatments are just as good as Shinobu's!"
Hearing this, Shinobu's face flushed.
What do they mean by "the young man of Butterfly House"? When did she agree to this title?
"Ahem!" Shinobu cleared her throat, trying to maintain her composure. "Please focus on your treatments and avoid unnecessary comments."
But the teasing was far from over.
"Aw, look at her. She's blushing!"
"Such a fine young man! You should grab this opportunity while you can, little girl!"
"If I were younger, I'd have stolen him away already!"
Shinobu, overwhelmed by the playful remarks, could only focus on healing her patients. She realized these women were doing it on purpose—they wanted to find Ren a wife as a way of thanking him for saving them earlier.
Trying her best to tune them out, Shinobu worked diligently.
However, their enthusiastic chatter proved impossible to ignore.
"He's such a good match for you!"
"Don't let this chance slip away!"
"If you don't act fast, we'll send our daughters over!"
Shinobu's blush deepened, her face remaining red for most of her shift.
"Next!" she called out after finishing her current patient.
But nobody approached her.
Confused, she looked up to find that all the patients had queued up behind Ren, forming a perfectly orderly line.
"Why is everyone lined up there?" she asked, turning to Kanzaki Aoi.
"I… have no idea," Aoi replied, equally baffled.
The two walked over to investigate, and what they saw left them speechless.
Ren was treating a patient with astonishing speed and precision. He had just finished wrapping a bandage, tying it into a neat bow in less than two seconds.
The patients, mostly women, were mesmerized by his skillful hands and meticulous care.
"Next!" Ren called out with a warm smile.
Just then, two men entered, carrying a stretcher with an injured man on it.
"Doctor, please help! My cousin's leg is broken, and other departments said they can't treat it!"
The man's voice was filled with desperation. It was clear they had come here as a last resort.
Ren recognized the injured man—it was one of the severely wounded villagers he had seen earlier.
"Let me take a look," Ren said calmly, examining the wound with a practiced eye.
At the same time, his internal bullet field activated, instantly analyzing the wound and suggesting solutions.
[Observation complete: The bite-like wound can be treated using a specific herb to reduce inflammation. You know how to proceed.]
Ren stood up and began issuing instructions. "Aoi, I need alcohol and these specific herbs…" He listed the materials with precision.
Shinobu, who had been listening, was astonished.
Everything Ren requested matched exactly what she would have used for the treatment. His medical knowledge was almost on par with hers!
