In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

Chapter 4: Four Mysterious Man (Part 2)

His eyes are fierce, and anger is visible on his face. Anne took a glance at her father and was so surprised to see how calm her father is. He reaches his hand to the red-headed man, trying to calm him down.

“Son, please put your sword down, I wanted to check on your friends, I’m a healer.” Said Ed to the angry red-headed man.

The red-headed man doesn’t want to withdraw his weapon, “No! there are no registered healers in this area, you liar! You want to rob Henry, right?!”

Fuming by his accusation, Anne shouted to the arrogant man, “Hey! Watch your mouth, we aren’t lying. My father truly is a healer, and the best one in the surrounding area!”

“No! I know for sure, because...”

“Justice!” shouted another man from behind.

The man is wearing a black robe, covering his head, he shouted at the arrogant redhead, while his hand grabbed the sword. “Are you crazy?! What are you doing pointing a sword at the civilians!”

.....

“But, Vale, they wanted to rob Henry! I just wanted to protect him!”

“No, they are not! Because of you misjudging the situation, Xavier and I almost died from that bloody Minotaur!”

All of them look at the carcass of once a mighty Minotaur when Anne saw a tall man in the middle of hacking the Minotaur’s horn with his ax. He was so tall and has a built-up body.

“See, even without me, the two of you could handle the Minotaur, it’s already sustained a fatal injury from Henry’s sword.” Said Justice, the arrogant red-headed to his friend.

The man named Vale takes a deep breath and looks at Anne and her father. Anne is mesmerized by the beautiful green eyes on Vale. A deep lush green, almost emerald-like. The owner of the green eyes smiled at the two of them.

“I am so sorry for this guy’s attitude. Please take a look at my friend’s condition.”

Ed goes to the injured man, immediately, while Anne still staring at the two-man in front of her.

“Justice, you need to be more observant. Next time, if you see their clothes, you know they’re healers.” Said Vale to his friend.

The arrogant man named Justice then stared at Anne from head to toe. He finally noticed a large bag full of herbs and the small sickles in her belt. The tools for healer and herbologist. Justice just scoffed and walk towards the injured Henry. Anne’s mouth is gaping, just couldn’t believe Justice’s attitude.

“I’m sorry about Justice. He was... uhm stressed about Henry’s condition.” Said Vale, the green eyes man, to Anne.

“Yeah, if that was how Justice was in his stress mode, I sure don’t want to see him in his angry mode.” Said Anne, full of sarcasm.

Vale chuckles at Anne. But not for long, comes the big guy who’s already carried the Minotaur’s horn in his arms. This time, it was a man with golden eyes and a warm smile that could make you melt just by looking at his innocent face.

“Hey, Vale, finally got the f*cking horn. Oh, who’s this pretty young lady?”

Vale looks at the big guy with a disbelief face. “Xavier, you saw her and the man, going to Henry, earlier. That’s why the idiot Justice came running from the fight.”

“I know, I just wanted to admire the pretty lady.” Said Xavier, with a thousand-watt smile on his face.

Anne’s face blushed a bit. She thought this was the first time someone flirted with her.

“I... Err... thank you, let me... let me check on your friend.”

She walked so fast toward the injured Henry, while the two-man stared at her from behind. Ed already gave him first aid, and also a bit of healing magic.

“So, how was it?” Asked Justice to Ed.

“He is stable, but not yet out of the woods yet. Can you carry him to my clinic in the village?”

“Was it so bad?” This time, it was Vale. He was already beside Justice, with Xavier behind them.

Ed looks at the three of them, while Anne is busy wiping all the sweat and blood from Henry.

“Look, your friend got a stab wound from the Minotaur’s horn. The horn had some enzymes that are full of bacteria. The bacteria enter the wound and will make the torn flesh decay faster.”

“F*ck!” cursed the three of them at the same time.

“I’ll get the horses!” Shouted Vale.

“Wait, I’ll help you!” Said Xavier, when he saw Vale already running towards the bushes.

Justice stayed behind, sitting beside Henry, on the opposite side of Anne. They work so fast when they finally knew how severe Henry’s wound was. Anne is actually so impressed by how worried they are about their friend.

“I will search for more medicinal herbs for this young man, Anne. You stayed here with them.” Said Ed, in a hurry to go find the herbs.

Anne feels so awkward. With Justice, the only thing that she can do is wipe Henry’s face with a fresh towel from her bag. Justice looked at her with a very curious look.

“What? are you going to yell at me, again?” Asked Anne.

“No, I was curious, though. Your father and you, were the two of you unregistered healers?”

“Your friend is still in danger, but the only thing that you could think about is my father’s status?!” Anne berated Justice, whom the latter still looking at her with his ruby red eyes.

“I know Henry will pull through. He was tough. Besides, I can see that your father is a skilled healer.”

Scoffed at Justice’s word, she just turn her attention to Henry, who actually open his eyes and stared at Anne.

“Who... are you? Wha... What happened?” Asked Henry to Anne.

Anne looks at the injured Henry, a pair of blue eyes, staring at her, blue eyes with platinum blonde hair, like a prince in the fairytale book. She smiles at Henry to calm him down.

“Hello Henry, my name is Anne. You were stabbed by a Minotaur. We are going to take care of your wound at my father’s clinic.”

“Anne? What a beautiful name,” said Henry, smiling.

Not long after he passed out, making Justice gruntled some coherent words. “B*stard just flirting and passes out again, typical.”

Anne giggled at his antics, making Justice glare at her. Thankfully, Vale and Xavier arrived with their horses, and what beautiful creatures the horses were. Anne gasped when she saw their horses.

“So beautiful...” Mumbled Anne.

“Well, thank you.” Said Xavier, joking at Anne, making Vale and Justice rolled their eyes.

The three of them carry Henry to Xavier’s horse. Vale goes to Anne and asked her.

“Can you ride a horse?”

Justice scoffed at Vale’s question to Anne. “She’s a villager, maybe even her first time looking at a pure breed horse.”

Anne glared at Justice. She proved him wrong by climbing into Henry’s horse, gracefully. Vale and Xavier, were impressed, while Justice just ride his own horse, pretty much ashamed that Anne actually knew how to ride a horse.

Vale laughed at Justice. “Well, it seems the girl just proves you wrong, Justice.”

“Shut up!” shouted justice at Vale. He then turns his attention to Anne. “Your father’s late. We need to go, now!”

“Do you ever learn a word called patience?” Said Anne to the arrogant redhead.

Before Justice could say something to Anne, Ed run in the opposite direction with a bag full of herbs.

“I’m so sorry. Let’s head back. I got all the herbs that I need.”

Vale reached out to Anne’s father. “Sir, you could ride with me.”

Ed nodded his head and jump to Vale’s horse. He asked Anne to lead them to the village.

Justice was immediately full of concern. “Wait, you let your daughter will lead us to the village?”

“I can assure you, my daughter can handle any type of horse. I trust her.” Answered Ed to Justice.

Anne gave Justice a smirk while she gallop her horse away, the others followed her behind, and she ride the horse and kept pace. Riding from the valley, and into the village.
