The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 338

Episode 338 Familiar and vague (3)

‘So… the time here and now… it’s only been 3 days since I fell off the Yanghwa Bridge?’

At first I thought it was a joke.

But no.

That’s the annoyed expression on the pharmacist’s face. The same goes for the sound coming from the TV. No, I guess my honest feeling is that I hope this isn’t true.

“….”

Then what happened to my original body? Is it alive? Or did he just die? If I had died the day I fell from Yanghwa Bridge, then today would be the day the funeral would be over and the funeral would be held.

I felt dizzy.

I felt like my eyes were spinning, so I shook my head vigorously.

‘Come to your senses, Lee Han.’

In times like these, you must not waver. It is difficult to get lost in sentimentality and struggle. The more difficult it is, the more you need to keep your eyes wide open so that you can seize opportunities. Moments like now are like that.

He tried to get his mentality together.

‘Let’s stay calm. Let’s think about it. If you look at this carefully, you have obtained useful information. If it is only 3 days since the day of Yanghwa Bridge, there is something that can be used… Okay. That’s it.’

Flashing.

A thought came to me like a flash of light. A trick to overcome the current predicament flashed.

‘My studio!’

There is a house I used to live in near here.

It was only about a 15 minute walk. If it is now 3 days after Yanghwa Bridge Day(?), the studio apartment we lived in at the time will certainly remain in its original condition.

‘You can go home. Of course I remember the password for the front door. I probably also have 300,000 won in cash that I always saved as an emergency fund. You can avoid the immediate cold. There are also side dishes in the refrigerator. You can wash, eat, and rest. Especially Damien.’

How difficult was it to wander the streets without money in the cold of midwinter? That difficulty can be easily solved. All you have to do is go home. Besides…

‘I have internet at home. You can also search for which pharmacy has Trezeo.’

The more I thought about it, the more surprising it was. On the one hand, a strange feeling slowly rose up.

“….”

Let’s go up to the third floor of this building. no. That’s a bit much. Because I immediately organized and removed all the luggage and furniture that were in the oriental medicine clinic. Because only an empty room will greet me. If you see something like that, it will only make you feel weirder.

So…

“Ah, January 18, 21. All right. thank you.”

I said hello to the pharmacist who gave me a suspicious look and left the pharmacy. Damian, who followed, had a pensive look on his face.

“also. “Isn’t there the medicine you’re looking for here too?”

“uh. maybe. But I think another way came to mind.”

“Which way?”

“Well…”

Rachiel, who was about to answer, closed his mouth. The trick is to go home and solve all your current predicaments. That in itself was good. But when I actually tried to tell Damian that, there was something that bothered me.

‘If I do that, I think I’ll get caught.’

I looked at Damian’s expression.

This guy is not stupid.

No, I’m smart.

He is also quite quick to notice.

In fact, the sight of him wandering around here and going from pharmacy to pharmacy for several hours today was enough to make him suspicious.

‘of course. I acted so naturally, considering I was in another dimension. I’m acting a bit awkward… but it will still be noticeable.’

That can’t be helped.

gesture. a look. Breath. Even all other signs. Because there are unconscious attitudes and moods that are exuded from people.

It was probably the same here today. After a long time, I returned to the place where I have lived my whole life.

I had to wander around familiar streets all the time. In the meantime, did this show showcase the acting skills of a top-notch actor without a single second?

no.

Probably not.

No matter how hard you try, there will always be a gap for a moment. Little by little, it would have been noticeable through that gap. Damian, who is quick-witted, may already be thinking that something is strange.

‘So kinda.’

It was fierce.

What if I take him to this house when he’s already showing off little by little? Then it’s over. I get caught unconditionally.

I have no choice but to get caught. No matter how much you try to explain it, no matter how shamelessly you lay the iron plate, once the situation gets to that point, you can no longer hide it.

This is not going to be able to hide the attitude and atmosphere of a person who has returned to their old home. No matter how hard you try to hide it, Damien will be able to sense it.

‘Whoa…’

So what would happen if this guy found out about this guy’s identity? Should I withdraw my loyalty to this side? Or should he report it to the emperor, asking if he has been deceiving him all this time? I don’t know. It wasn’t predictable. So I was anxious and hesitant.

It was then.

Damian said something unexpected.

“It’s okay, Your Highness.”

“…uh? what?”

“Because Your Majesty also hid my secret.”

“what…?”

“You handled it alone without revealing to anyone that I was not human and that I was nothing more than a vessel created by the Demon King.”

“….”

What was Damian, smiling faintly, trying to say?

“It’s something I’ve thought about often before. “If I were to change your position and tell you this, how would you have reacted when you found out that your guard was not a person but something else?”

“That’s why I…”

“Your Highness showed no reaction. He didn’t even change his attitude towards me. Like, what’s wrong with that? As if to say: “I probably wouldn’t have done that.”

“….”

In fact, it had to be that way. At least from our perspective, it was an inevitable choice. But I think it was a little different for Damian to accept.

“Thank you. It was from then on. majesty. No, I decided not to care who you are or what you are.”

“What are you talking about now?”

“It means that there is no need for you to hesitate, Your Majesty.”

“what?”

“This is a place where the emperor’s eyes and ears cannot reach.”

“….”

You noticed.

I realized it the moment I saw Damian’s smile. The fact that there is no point in hiding it anymore. And that he is sincere when he says he doesn’t care what kind of existence this person is.

Thank you.

But I didn’t want to show it. Maybe that was why. Instead of saying thank you for trusting me, I just laughed like it was ridiculous.

“haha. Why is our Sir Cayenne like this today? Then, did you know what I would be thankful for?”

“I didn’t particularly want you to thank me.”

“You know I felt a little bit, right?”

“…Did you?”

“uh. “I almost vomited out of my ear holes.”

“What a shame. “I’m just trying to push myself a little harder.”

“Do you have the strength to break out?”

“Not really. doesn’t exist.”

“It looks just like that. “Then let’s go.”

“Where do you mean?”

“To a place where you can rest.”

Damian walked slowly and carefully so as not to fall. It took 30 minutes to cover a distance that would normally take 15 minutes by walking.

A residential area between Madudong Academy District and Pungsan Station. There was a studio apartment where this person lived.

The villa building looked just as I remembered.

There is also a messy space where waste is put out for recycling. There is also a narrow parking lot next to it where there is fierce competition over wit. There were even three or four mail bags from this direction placed in the mailbox in the hallway on the first floor.

‘under.’

I thought about picking it up for a while, but decided against it. If you look at it, there won’t be any letters with warm content anyway. They all probably came from banks or credit card companies.

In general, it is filled with concise and dry content asking you to give up money. So in a way it’s scarier.

But these things have nothing to do with this side anymore. I just passed by. I climbed the fairly steep stairs to the second floor, supporting Damian.

As I stood in front of the front door, my heart pounded in my chest without even realizing it. It was only for a moment, but an ominous thought came to mind.

“….”

What if my original body died on Yanghwa Bridge? So what if today is the funeral date? So, did someone visit the studio in the meantime?

no. That wouldn’t be possible because I don’t have any family. Even if my friends come to clean up after me, it will be at least a few days later.

Sweet.

The electronic door cover was raised. My fingers moved out of habit along the old license plate.

T-t-t-t-t-t Even without any effort to remember, the door lock opened with an electronic sound as the hand moved on its own.

“Let’s go in.”

The inside of the thick front door was dirty. It was just as I remembered.

A couple of slippers and old sneakers were rolling around freely in the entrance, and the studio inside was in a raw, unorganized state.

Well, that’s probably true.

This side of Yanghwa Bridge was not in a normal condition for a few days just before that day. Because I was mostly drunk. Because the situation at the time was too sad to endure with a sober mind.

There was no time to make excuses.

“It’s messy. “I don’t know who lived there.”

Damien, who looked around the studio, gave us a cool-headed assessment.

“It’s like a pigsty. “I don’t know who lived there.”

“….”

“In some ways, it looks like a slum scene. “I really don’t know who lived there.”

“….”

“You’ve had a hard time.”

“Tsk.”

Rachiel smiled bitterly.

Originally, my life wasn’t this messed up. I also lived in a fairly nice two-room apartment. But I couldn’t help it.

Because of the coronavirus, sales at oriental medicine clinics are at an all-time low, and I have no choice but to cut my weight in order to pay the loan interest, rent for oriental medicine clinics, and the salaries of nurses.

But what good is that excuse now?

“That’s it. Lie down quickly. here.”

“You mean there?”

“uh. Isn’t it messy? “Isn’t this a blanket I washed about 20 days ago?”

“Yuck.”

“….”

“Then are you going to give me another injection?”

“That’s right. “First, let’s start with blood sugar.”

“…All right.”

Damian lay down on the bed. And then he looked at Rakiel, who was busy diagnosing his condition.

Cold, sharp wind.

Unfamiliar and huge buildings.

A strange carriage that moves quickly.

I wandered there for half a day, shivering in the cold. Still, there was no one passing by to ask if I was okay.

I thought this was that kind of world. I wondered why this person lived so tenaciously in a place like this.

‘You…’

With that last thought, Damian felt a sudden sense of fatigue.

A warm interior suddenly entered. A slightly musty but cozy blanket. An injection given by someone you respect. Everything broke his nerve. I fell asleep. I couldn’t resist.

“Whoa.”

Only after Damian had completely fallen asleep was Rachiel able to sigh belatedly. It was fortunate that no one went home during that time.

He got up carefully and changed the password to the front door. And then I turned on the computer.

It’s been a while since I searched the internet, but it was easy. He was soon able to find his target(?).

‘there is…!’

While searching through a community of diabetes patients, he found a post sharing the inventory status of insulin drugs.

There was a list of pharmacies that had Trezeo, which I had been looking for all day.

Among them, the closest one is….

‘Unjeong New Town? Sannae Village? Then it’s close to Ilsan.’

done.

If it’s this distance, we can move today. Along with hope, a way to copy medicine without causing any harm to anyone also emerged.

“So, little girl?”

“Little girl?”

He smiled brightly as he looked at the little boy he had taken out of his arms.

“I think we’ll need some action from you this time.”
