*****

The night was getting darker and darker and the situation was much more critical at every moment for the elf we had just saved.

Syr and I approached the pub from the back so as not to attract people's attention and to avoid getting into trouble for the situation we were in.

Thanks to the rain our presence was very low because there were not many people on the streets and the water made the smell dissipate in case we met someone with a good sense of smell.

Also the water washed away the blood of the girl that Syr had on her back so we didn't leave any traces on the street. Of course a half-animal person could trace the smell of blood to our position and that would complicate things.

We must be careful.

I'm already imagining how the other girls in the pub will see Syr and I as we walk in the door. Syr is carrying a person and I'm carrying some high-quality weapons.

I opened the door for Syr and immediately went in behind her, quietly closing the door so as not to alert other people to the mess we were making.

My coworkers will eventually figure it out so it's best that I don't start worrying about them.

Our current goal is to save the girl's life. I am regretting not reading those medical books of this world in case there is any difference between the bodies of different races.

I don't know if there is any difference in the body of an elf and a human, both races are similar but the difference exists even if it is small and that is what makes them different.

Let's hope everything goes well.

All that remains is to rely on my old knowledge and have faith.

I left the bags in a secluded place and only took the girl's weapons with me; I didn't want to leave them lying around and have someone else take them by mistake.

I followed Syr into a separate room and again opened the door for her to enter so we could attend to the elf carefully.

We must close her wounds so that she does not bleed to death and end up more serious than she already is. If the situation worsens we will have to call a doctor or buy health potions.

I took off the cloth I was using to cover myself from the water and left it in a secluded place. I walked over to the bed and took a sheet to place it on the floor, Syr eventually placed the elf on top of the sheet.

"Syr we need a clean sheet to let the girl rest after the treatment" I said to Syr and she blinked as she watched me give her clear orders without hesitation.

I don't think she knows me this way and I'd rather keep it that way for me.

Syr nodded and left the room quickly and in the same way I do the same to look for what I need.

The other girls began to hear the mess we were making due to our quick movements and came out of their workstations.

When they saw the girl some of my coworkers froze and others began to take up the work so that we could make time without attracting Mama Mia's attention and alerting the clientele.

I looked around the building for my targets and focused on the two girls who could help me in the current situation.

"Anya get the first aid kit! May take care of filling a deep container with warm water and take some clean towels!"

Both girls were coming down the stairs and when I yelled at them they tensed momentarily and gave me a look full of curiosity and confusion.

"What do you ne-?"

"Don't ask questions cat girl! Time is money and you're wasting it!"

I didn't let Anya start with her questions at this point and thanks to my change of attitude she stepped back with a little trepidation.

Anya showed surprise and flinched a little, I noticed this as her tail froze and her feline features bristled a little like a scared cat would. I think she was a little afraid of me because of my current attitude.

I don't even care if she is level 4 or something else, right now we need the materials to help the girl and they will look for them for me instead of wasting their time.

May moved quickly and Anya gave her a puzzled look for not hesitating with her action.

Anya saw me and I just narrowed my eyes at her showing that I wasn't playing and she quickly nodded and hurried off to accomplish the task I told her to do.

My attitude took a big turn and now people do what I tell them to do.

That's great.

I returned to the room where we had left the girl and found Syr with several white cloths and sheets laid out in a small mountain.

Well... we'll have to wash the sheets later.

The girl was still in the same place and her breathing had become quieter, time was running out and we had not even started yet.

Syr had moved the furniture and made some space in the center of the room, also turned on the lamp and closed the curtains.

The bed was in the corner and there is only a table with two chairs on the other side of the room. As it was not yet in use the room did not have the usual things it would have for a person to use.

"Let's spread the sheet on the floor and lay the girl down carefully so as not to hurt her"

"Wouldn't it be better to use the Riku bed?"

"If you want to pay the increased price of the mattress to Mama Mia then yes. Besides, that's where we'll put her after the treatment," I declared to Syr as I remembered how Mama Mia had scolded me for breaking some plates and glasses.

Syr grimaced as she recalled the events that transpired and nodded sagely at my words.

Mama Mia knows how to get money in different ways and even among the employees we are not spared from her tactics if we are careless and break something it can go very badly.

But we still love Mama Mia enough to be mad at her.

Syr picked the girl up from her place and moved her to place her on top of the sheet she had brought.

We did this so that any blood on the girl would not spread and would only be concentrated on the sheet so that we would not have to clean the room after treating the girl.

I also did that so that the area where we treat her would be comfortable so as not to damage the body more by accident and increase the wounds she already had.

I removed the cloak that covered her while leaving her uncovered with only her combat clothes. The cloak only kept her covered and protected her identity, even so I don't know who she is and I don't care.

Anya entered the room with the first aid kit, even in another world they have a little sign on it, in this case something like the symbol of a Familia.

"Riku, here's the first aid kit nya"

"Thank you Anya, with this we will be able to advance the girl's treatment very easily" I said as a smile grew on my face as I held the object in my hands.

I turned around and looked at Anya again to give her directions again "Anya I need you to stay at the door in case I need you again and help May bring the water"

"Understood nya!"

Anya left the room leaving me alone with Syr to attend to the elf. The room was small, about four people could fit in but after that we would start to get cramped in the place.

I knelt down next to her to get a better position and opened the first aid kit to inspect what was inside the kit.

When I opened it the memories of my previous life began to flow into my head and guided me a bit in inspecting and getting to know each thing that was in the medicine cabinet.

Several times I was the group leader of my classroom and I had to keep the classroom first aid kit in order. Thanks to that I learned what was necessary to give first aid to a person.

The first aid kit that Anya brought me is a high quality one because I could see different items in it and each of them looked very expensive. Hopefully the first aid kit is from the pub and not Mama Mia's.

I came across hemostatic bandages, adhesive plasters, ointments, cleaning cloths, a pair of scissors, a sewing kit, tweezers, sterile gauze, and antiseptics.

I also came across something new to me, the bad thing is that I still didn't know how to use them correctly, the potions.

I had already used the potions on the night I almost died but I have no idea how to make them.

The effectiveness of the potions is excellent and you don't need much knowledge when using them, it can close wounds very quickly and cure some ailments of the body.

There was a pair of gloves with some masks, it is good to see that small details are considered and hygiene is kept in care.

"Syr, when they told me I was rescued...it was you who took care of me wasn't it?"

"Yes, we took you to the pub and I was constantly on the lookout for your condition" Syr replied with some bewilderment at my question, I don't think she thought I would bring that up in this situation.

"Was it you who treated my wounds?"

"I took care of you but I didn't treat your more serious injuries" Syr denied me as she bowed her head and recalled the events of that night "I was meeting Anya that day and had wandered a bit away from her, that's where I found you in a dark alley. When Anya arrived at my place I asked her to help me take you to the pub, I couldn't leave you in that place"

"I thank you again Syr, I still don't know how to express my feelings for that"

"Don't worry Riku, even if I hadn't been with Anya that time I would have brought you to the pub no matter what and convinced Mama Mia to accept you"

Happiness won me over and a smile grew on my face which in the same way made Syr smile for remembering that moment.

Shaking my head I focus on what I currently have to do and check if everything is in place. The possibility of mishaps is always very dangerous and I don't want that right now.

Carefully Syr moved the elf and I took care of removing the clothes she was wearing so I could see the wounds the girl had on her body and treat them as soon as possible.

I also removed her accessories, long boots, gloves and even her shorts and just left her in her underwear to inspect her completely.

I don't care if I'm looking at a semi-naked girl right now, I care more about her life and I don't want to have weird thoughts.

"How is she feeling?" Syr asked me with concern and I kept inspecting to give her a simple diagnosis. I am not a doctor but even I can see that she is definitely not well.

"Her body is full of cuts and several of them are deep" I replied with concern. What the fuck did the girl do to be in such a serious state?

I had only dealt with a few cuts in my previous life and most of them were while chopping vegetables for lunch, I just treated them with some absorbent cotton and alcohol and then put a band-aid on my finger.

She had very deep cuts on various parts of her body, it looked like she had received them from several razors or some kind of sword and she had pulled them out with force leaving the wound untreated.

Something serious had happened so that the girl did not care about her own welfare. In a fight the person involved protects himself from harm from the opponent, here it seems that she did not care and continued to the end.

I have to treat her as soon as possible to prevent her from losing more blood than she had lost all the time she was running away and all the way to the pub.

If we don't start at once it will be too late to save it.

I focus on the bigger wounds and start moving things around, I also clean my hands with the alcohol and after that I put on some gloves for extra care.

Cleanliness in medicine is an important thing when treating a person's wounds, even a small bacterium can be dangerous if it gets into someone's wound.

"Riku! I brought the water nya!"

Looking up from my business I see May in the doorway with a large bowl of water and next to her is Anya with the towels in her arms.

"Excellent May. Syr, help her place her next to me, we'll need her to clean up the girl when we're done treating her"

Syr got up and helped May move the water, Anya placed the towels on the side of the container and I was checking the first aid kit.

I take the potions and remove the cap from the concoctions. I carefully pour the potion into the larger wounds and watch as they slowly light up and close.

I still don't understand how potions can act and defy reality, I still hold on to several things from my old life and seeing potions heal someone still amazes me.

I remember how one of them saved me from dying and that makes me ignore my doubts.

"Do you think that will be enough to save her?"

I'm a little conflicted at the moment with my partners after some thought.

I had not acted this way with them, I always follow my task and do them with a smile. Saving a life is not common in my life and even I did not help much in this kind of things.

Syr is good in several aspects, seeing how she acts I can deduce that she does not know much about medicine.

Should Syr take care of the elf I think she would ask for help or probably treat the wounds with extreme care. Syr focuses more on relationships with people and she is very good at doing that.

Syr had told me about the night of the accident and because I had taken a potion she was able to heal my wounds as the more serious ones had disappeared.

She knows the basics.

I think that since the attack I received my attitude has changed and I prefer to be more direct with things even though I believe the opposite.

"I don't know Syr. I'm not a doctor and I can only do this to help her. It's best to close the wounds and try to find someone who could check her properly"

"If I remember correctly Riku, you read a medical book some time ago nya, do you know anything else nya?" Anya asked me as she entered the conversation and May who was next to her nodded in the same way to get my attention.

"It was more curiosity" I declared to resolve the doubts "I read it since it caught my attention but after a few pages I put it aside. So I learned a little but not enough to save a life on the verge of death"

"I'm thankful potions exist" I told them with a sigh, if potions didn't exist we would have to clean the wounds and then close the cuts.

The potion was more effective than it looks. The girl's wound closed almost completely and only left something like a small cut, that is easy to heal.

I took the antiseptic and poured it on the cloth to start cleaning the wounds on the girl's body. The potion also cleans and in this case it only worked on some wounds so I still need to clean the others.

May and Anya were arguing with each other and Syr was next to me watching what I was doing.

Syr is like insurance for me in case some trauma comes back from the accident. The chance of it happening to me is low but having company when I try to do this is good for me and reassures me a bit.

I took care of cleaning the wounds caused by the cuts and I focused on leaving them free of dirt, I do not know what diseases exist in this world and that is why we must prevent them.

For the moment I only covered the wounds a little bit since I still can't do it completely if the girl's body is dirty.

"Well girls, all that's left now is to clean her body and let it rest for a while. We have to check her constantly so that she is well and that the wounds don't open up"

"Now what are you going to do nya?" May asked me as she tilted her head curiously, since the serious stuff is over now we can calm down.

"I'm done with my part of her treatment, now it's Syr's turn"

"Me?" Syr spoke in surprise as she pointed to herself.

"That's right, I don't know how to clean someone's body gently. Her arms are mangled when I cleaned her wounds some bruises and contusions appeared"

"I'll do my best Riku" Syr told me and I gave her a smile for her support.

"After you're done you can bandage her up and after that we'll have to figure out what to do with her"

"When I'm done helping her she'll be okay?" Syr asks me hopefully, she cares quite a bit about people.

"The essential thing is that she doesn't die. Thanks to the treatment we gave her she will survive" I got up and gathered the garbage in one place "May look for another container with water, Syr won't be able to clean her completely with what you brought the first time".

"Okay. I'll be right back nya" May left the room and I focused on Anya who was still in the room.

When I focused on Anya her tail bristled and I saw how she tensed up a bit, compared to my usual attitude at this moment I am acting as serious as possible.

In a simple way I would say that I am acting as I would if I were in my old body and age.

What memories.

"We need clothes to dress the girl in, could you look for different clothes please, Anya?" I asked Anya and she nodded and left the room.

Now that there was silence and peace in the room I let out a tired sigh and take off my gloves to leave them on the trash pile of torn and dirty bandages.

Putting aside any thoughts I focus on what will happen to her now that she is in the pub. Mama Mia will ask us about the first aid kit and also about the things we used today and that will cause us to have to tell her everything.

I can understand that she had a combat with different enemies and ended up this way, if it had been the dungeon she would not have come out of there alive and neither would she have made it to the surface without someone noticing her.

That only affirms more of my doubts and proves that the enemy is still in the streets or has already been eliminated.

Seeing the 'sword' I bend down and pick it up off the ground to take it in both hands and inspect it, not just anyone would have a wooden sword if the enemies were made of metal or something.

This is not normal wood.

The resistance is much higher than the wood used in different things. I can believe that it is because it is a weapon and it is necessary resistance to use it at the time of fighting.

It looks great.

Another problem is about the girl's enemies.

Knowing the dark side of the city information is always passed on quickly and then the typical thugs come to collect the reward. If the girl made a name for herself at some point someone will come for her.

The elf recently killed someone or several people so the idea is not so far-fetched and in the future we would have to make various plans for the problems.

Mama Mia transmits fear to those who try to attack or make trouble in the Hostess of Fertility so there is still time left in case something happens.

Better be alert and join Loki's Familia just in case, the falna could give me some strength and a thing or two if possible.

The girl was still pale from the loss of blood and it only remained to wait for her body to regenerate the lost blood so that her health would be much better.

"I'm back nya!" May announced and Syr called out to her as I stepped aside and let her pass and left the room.

When I left the room I relaxed completely and took a seat on the floor next to the door of the room where we are attending to the elf.

My first thought was to walk away from her in the alley and leave her to die, unlike me Syr wanted to help her and I still refused to do so.

Syr is very complicated to understand. She helps people constantly and always tries to warn us about various things. Sometimes she even acts very childish and we can only surrender to her games.

Who is she?

Well, there is no need to think about that at present, it is better to wait and help the girl.

I helped Syr because she had done the same for me.

You can call me selfish or hypocritical but I had no intention of saving her except that Syr reminded me that she saved me.

When Syr reminded me that she saved me her words hurt me more than I had ever thought, I also remembered that I could have died again and that made me tear up a little.

That's why I helped her to prove that I wasn't a bad person.

Feelings are complicated and honestly they bother me more now that I'm a girl, it's hard to keep them straight with so much going on in my life lately.

My life used to be normal and now I have to join a God together with her Familia, think about my life, work in the pub, save girls and get more knowledge from this world.

I'm fine with that.

"I'm back nya. I didn't find much but this is enough to cover it completely" Anya came with the stuff and her arrival saved me from my pessimistic thoughts of my life.

"That's great, her clothes will have to be washed for her to wear them again. Hand the new clothes over to Syr, she'll finish cleaning the girl soon and after that we'll see what to do with them"

"I'm on it nya!" Anya nodded happily and walked into the room leaving me alone in the hallway.

I leaned my head against the wall carefully so as not to hurt myself and thought about what happened for the simple fact that we went out to buy ingredients and brought a girl to the pub.

Again I had a dangerous encounter but this time the danger had been eliminated long before I arrived with Syr and all that was left was the girl lying on the ground.

A while ago I was almost killed by a remnant of Evilus, then I was accepted into the Loki Family and now I meet a strange vigilante.

What a week.

"Hey Riku nya" Anya's voice called out to me and I saw her leave the room followed by May "Could you explain to us how you found the elf and brought her to the pub nya?"

"The whole explanation or…"

"Quick summary nya" May said to me and I just stood there thinking a bit about what to say, it's easy but now I find myself tired and upset about everything that happened.

"Well... Syr preferred to take a shortcut and we spent some time walking through various alleys until we found her. Syr thought she was a good person and convinced me to help her save the elf"

"I understand nya, what do you think will happen to her nya?" May asked me while touching her chin with some hesitation.

"Thanks to everything you have told me it is very likely that Mama Mia will take her into the pub and put her to work" I declared wisely from my many inquiries.

Mama Mia had already helped more people before she came to the pub. She helped several girls and after that she offered them a place in the pub so they forgot the past and moved on.

What a great mom she is.

"By the way, you have Mama Mia's permission to be here right? Or did you just abide by my orders without hesitation?" I asked both girls since Mama Mia doesn't like people wasting their time.

Both girls turned so pale that a vampire would be envious of them.

I just shifted my gaze between May and Anya for quite some time watching as they didn't do something, they just stood still in place and I let out an annoyed sigh at their actions as I slapped my face for not taking that into account.

*THUD*

At that instant a shuddering sound could be heard and caused both girls to start shaking and sweating because of the fear that started to grow in them, I just thought that it was time to leave.

*THUD*

The sound was getting louder and louder and when we saw in a hallway a figure loomed with a dark aura looking for cat blood.

Anya and May hid behind me, I shook my head and started to move... although after that I realized that I couldn't do it and I saw that my arms were being grabbed by the cats on my back which made me open my eyes in surprise and start to feel scared.

I am only 9 years old so my height was not too much. Now I was scared because I couldn't move and I couldn't run away from the place.

Mama Mia's face showed no happiness at all and apparently just pure anger at her.

"There you three brats! What the hell are you doing wasting time instead of working?!" Mia growled angrily at us and all our movements stopped and we felt ourselves losing our breath from the fear Mia was transmitting by her mere presence.

I turned with fear to look at the cat girls and saw how they were both paralyzed with fear and only babbled nonsense words.

Cats and their things.

"And your little girl!" Mia focused on me and I feel my body asking for help from anyone "You should have brought the groceries long ago! Where's Syr?!"

Mia stopped in front of me and I had to look up to see her face and watch as she demanded an explanation for our actions.

Save me.

"W-well w-we had a m-mishap" I said between stutters.

I can't talk to her properly with the aura of death that Mia is emitting at the moment.

"Speak girl" Mia said to me as she squinted at me and made me shudder from her gaze.

Mama Mia wanted information about what happened as soon as possible and my only chance of survival was to accept every term she put in front of me.

"You s-"

*Clank*

"I'm done Riku, Mama Mia it's good to see you! I was just looking for you, I need you to see something" Syr said with a bright smile and walked back into the room ignoring what happened around here.

Mia arched an eyebrow at what happened and started walking past us. Before she entered the room she gave us a sidelong glance.

I guess she wants us to go with her.

Thanks to Syr we were able to save ourselves now and we have more time to live.

I shook a little and felt the girl's hands move away from my arms, I started to walk and the fear started to leave my body as I sighed again.

When I entered the room I saw that it was already tidy and the dirty clothes were in a bag to be washed and the rest in bags to be thrown away.

Compared to before Mama Mia was giving a calm look to the girl who was now lying on the bed.

Mia was not angry now and looked concerned, as one would expect a mother to help someone in need right after scolding her daughters and almost killing two of them.

Syr stood beside her patiently awaiting a verdict from Mama Mia.

When I look back I see both cat girls peeking out of the door with only their heads and their tails peeking out behind them.

"Where did you find her and why was she in that state?" Mia asked.

"One of my shortcuts Mama Mia and Riku says she probably had a fight with other people" Syr said and... Wait a minute! Me?!

When I looked at Syr she was flashing me a smile while making a silly gesture.

That girl!

"What's going to happen to Mama Mia?" I asked the giant dwarf as I watched her let out a somewhat annoyed sigh.

"Well, we'll see what we can do with her, who treated her wounds?" Mia asked and raised my hand after a few moments.

Mia gave me a proud smile and patted me on the head like a mother proud of her daughter.

It felt good.

"Good job girl. For just learning from a book you did very well saving the girl's life" Mia praised me and I felt a little embarrassed at that moment.

"Thank you" I murmured happily as my cheeks colored a little.

"So, what are you going to do with her Mama Mia?" Syr asks Mama Mia making me look up to see Mia and know the fate of the elf in the bed.

"I'm going to put her to hard work of course" Mia stated her judgment on the girl and a grimace came off my face for some reason.

After working for a while at the Hostess of Fertility I learned that Mama Mia could be tough and I also discovered the meaning of the words she said.

As I'm still a little girl and growing Mama Mia doesn't demand much from me at work, who knows what the elf will be like once she wakes up.

The good thing is that she will lighten my workload and I will be able to rest more.

"Alright girls, we've wasted enough time" Mia declared and the four of us joined her outside the room.

"You three get back to work, Syr stay behind to discuss something. Tomorrow will clear up any doubts we have about the girl in the room and in case she wakes up Syr will take care of her, the likelihood of her being unfriendly is high and Syr will be able to calm her down"

"Yes Mama Mia!" all four of us nodded and I left the room with Anya and May.

I said goodbye to the girls and went to my workstation.

Problems come and there are not many ways to solve them.

Great!

Another day at the Hostess of Fertility.
