As a coroner assigned to the morgue, Knox swore that he would never have imagined that he would be able to leave that hell before the end of the war of annihilation, leave the desert with the smell of corpses in the smoke of gunpowder in civilian clothes, and ride on an ordinary passenger train like an ordinary doctor, carrying a medical kit as an escort to a strange town with a few young girls and patients.

"Sister Sarah~ Tell me about Wen Li again, okay~ Aisha really wants to know~"

Although nominally as a special military doctor specially approved by the superiors, he accompanied Colonel Estes, who was physically and mentally exhausted and on sick leave, to Lissenbu to rest.

"Okay~ How old do you want to hear Wen Li's story? ~”

Sitting in front of him was a very beautiful lady, the angel of Ishbal, who had been praised and experienced by countless people in the medical profession, and Lady Lockbell from Lischenbull.

A venerable man who adheres to the most sacred duty of a doctor in the most dangerous places.

And ...... for yourself

Thinking of his daily work in the morgue, dealing with corpses, and seeing that distorted and painful face, Knox felt very ashamed.

Why is there such a big gap?

Why is it that the venerable Rockbells, who are also doctors, have always been saving people and helping those who need help, while they also consider themselves doctors......

"Wen Li ...... when she was seven years old"

But every day with the alchemist of the flames, he is studying human experiments on how to make the burn explosion more powerful.

Doing and repeating that terrible and heinous thing day after day, doing things that help kill people?

"That's it~ It turns out that Wen Li will still be afraid of thunder when she is seven years old and can't sleep? ~”

Why is there such a huge gap between myself and them, who is also a doctor...... Even though he is a doctor, he has to deal with corpses every day, thinking about how to kill people?

Every day the county is alive like a corpse, and the ...... in front of him

"Yes~ If the thunder is loud, it will get into the bed and refuse to leave~"

Mrs. Rockbell, a doctor who has obviously exhausted her financial resources, lost her precious time, and lost the other half of her life for the medical career, can still smile so brightly?

"That...... Dr. Rockbell. ”

After a long hesitation, Dr. Knox finally spoke, interrupting Mrs. Sarah Rockbell, who was talking to Estus.

"What's the matter? Dr. Knox? ~”

It was still the loving and tolerant smile of the mother, even after such a great misfortune, she still maintained this positive and optimistic attitude, obviously Knox understood how painful it was to lose the other half of her loved one as a person, but this lady ......

After surviving the pain in my heart and walking out of the pain, are you still implementing your beliefs?

What is the heart called tolerance and understanding?

Carry out the heart of a loving mother and a good doctor who loves the world.

"That...... For coming to Ishbal...... You...... Will you regret it? ”

Seriously, Dr. Knox and Mrs. Lockbell sat face to face, and he felt very small and humble.

Because I failed to stick to my beliefs, I failed to protect and hold on to my dreams and vows when I became a doctor.

I couldn't stick to my dream of being a life-saving doctor since I was a child.

"Not at all~"

Directly shooting at Knox is the firm eyes full of love and ideals, the simple and stubborn ideas like a child, the warmth and firmness of the divine eyes like the Holy Mother, such eyes, such a pair of eyes looking at themselves like this at this time, so that Knox, who is already an accomplice of the executioner, and Knox, who is tormented and tortured all the time, gets a moment of peace.

"Because in Ishbal, our ideals have been implemented~"

"Ideal ......"

Knox reminisced about the word, something that once everyone had

"Yes~ Dr. Knox must have had his own ideals when he became a doctor, right? ~What is your dream to become a doctor? ~”

How could it not be? How could Knox himself not have ideals?

The self who once dreamed of becoming a doctor, the self who has worked hard to become an excellent doctor...... The self who has experienced so many days and nights in front of the desk, staying up with thick glasses......

The one who finally won the medical graduate and stood on the solemn stage of the ceremony and solemnly swore to countless medical sages and teachers and students......

The solemn and sacred vow before becoming a doctor......

"Now I have entered the medical profession and vowed to dedicate myself to humanitarian service; I am grateful and respect my teacher as if I were a parent. and to practice medicine with conscience and dignity; The health of my patients is my primary concern. I will keep the secrets which the sick have entrusted to me; I will do my best to uphold the honour and noble traditions of the medical profession; I regard my colleague as a brother; I am responsible for my patients without distinction as to religion, nationality, race, politics or status; Life is the supreme dignity from the moment of conception; Even in the face of threats, my medical knowledge is not contrary to humanity.

I hereby solemnly and voluntarily swear the above vows in my personality. ”

………………

My former self stood on a solemn podium, with my hands on my chest, and held a graduation certificate representing the duties and beliefs of doctors.

Took over the expectations of patients and patients, and the heavy responsibilities.

Once like Mrs. Lockbell, her eyes were full of the brilliance of a firm and pure doctor, and if she did not enter heaven or hell in the future, she could stand up and look at herself in the face of the powerful and the barren.

'I am a doctor, it is my duty to save lives, and life is respectable and equal in front of me. ’

But now, obviously I have not yet entered the age of dying, but my heart and spirit are already dying, when my eyes meet those eyes full of integrity and gratitude, when I see those creatures full of sunshine and happiness......

Knox didn't dare to look at it anymore......

"What's wrong with you? Dr. Knox? Is it because you are not feeling well? ”

Seeing the pained expression on the face of Dr. Knox who was doing it across from him, Estes asked with concern

She sensed that the doctor didn't like Ishbal's place, and that Sarah had just been cured and inevitably had some problems and discomforts that needed to be taken care of by the doctor, so in return and need, Estes brought Knox out and let him breathe fresh air and feel the idyllic life.

Savor the joy of life.

If you want to thank someone, think about it according to the other person's idea and reciprocate, so that the effect and efficiency of the report can be much higher.

Estes began to know how to express his gratitude in a way that others could understand.

And the result is ......

"Woo............ Thank you...... Thank you, Colonel Estes...... Thank you...... Mrs. Rockbell...... Thank you...... Thank you ......."

How so? It should be said that no matter what Estes does, the lethality is quite large.

No, just beginning to know how to understand human nature and understand others, he directly made a doctor in his forties cry, and he cried so completely.

The one that was moved was called a mess......

"Thank you...... Reminds me of ...... I remembered my duty...... My Doctor's Oath...... My dream ...... Thank you...... Thank you ......."

Knox understood why he didn't care about looking directly into those honest and sunny eyes full of faith now.

Because those eyes seem to be the former self, the young self full of ideals and firm beliefs......

Seeing those eyes, Knox felt as if he was being questioned and tortured by his former self.

As if he was being scolded loudly by his younger self grabbing his collar

"Is this what I am in the future?! Is that all I believe in? What's the point of that hard work and persistence?! What is the point of my life, what is the point of me fighting for the ideal of a doctor for so many years?! ”

Knox used to be like Rockbell, but now he doesn't even have the courage to look them in the back of his eyes, just because ......

"My heart is too weak...... My will is too weak...... It's too weak......"

Yes, it is too weak, and the once insistence is easily destroyed by reality, and the principles and oaths are forgotten and consumed.

And what about Mrs. Rockbell in front of her?

Even after her husband died, she still stood firm in her beliefs and undoubtedly continued to fight for her ideals despite such a great sacrifice.

"I ...... I'm going to be a doctor...... A doctor who heals the sick and saves lives...... I will renew my vows...... Young Dream ......"

Firm ideals and wills can move a person, move a person, and remind people of the hope and sunshine of the past.

Mrs. Lockbell succeeded again.

And the reason is simply because she is Rockbell.

That is the Rockbell admired by doctors and medical professionals all over the country.

The Lockbell who did not hesitate to fight hell in order to implement his ideals and spread positive energy.

Because it's her, it's them.

That's all.

Thankfully, Rockbell survived, so the world had another bright and warm light.

"Excuse me, do you want a newspaper? ~”

It's a childish, sweet little girl's voice

He was a small man, less than ten years old, with silver-white hair, brown skin, and beautiful big ruby eyes that were innocent and lovely and sunny.

"There is the latest news newspaper today~A newspaper only needs eighteen sting~"

Broken!

Seeing this innocent-looking little girl from Ishbal, Knox instantly became nervous for no other reason, because there was a ...... sitting diagonally across from him

Sitting sat the Witch of Ishbal who had been rubbing against Lady Rockbell, the terrible executioner, Colonel Estes who had stabbed thousands of Ishbal rebels. Terrible Killing Beasts......
