Tooth Fairy: Huh ... Huh ...
Tooth Fairy: ... Humerus ... and pelvis, fracture deformity ...
Tooth Fairy: Ankle, open fracture.
Tooth Fairy: Blood loss ... estimated to exceed...
From the looks, the unfortunate boy I hit at that time was probably under 10 years old.
He was thin and small, and quite tan. Within only a few seconds, he was almost entirely weltering in blood.
The tiny baby tooth was soaked in the blood, too white not to be noticed.
Tooth Fairy: ... Damn.
Hands trembling. Dizzy ... That's all I felt at the time.
Tooth Fairy: ... Hello. Emergency Service? I'm on ...
No one would have ever expected a child to suddenly appear on the empty highway.
But things just happened beyond my expectation, and it happened very quickly without any signs.
Emergency Services: According to your information, we'll arrive as soon as possible within 50 minutes. Please be patient.
Tooth Fairy: He's in a critical condition and can't wait for 50 minutes ...
The warm rock formations within my view and the agave of a man's size, both demonstrated an undisputed fact --
that in the Platinum 10 Minutes, and in a desert where there was no hospital nor any medical resources, I could barely save his life with any human medical treatments.
Tooth Fairy: … Hey!! Hey!!
Tooth Fairy: Can you hear me!
Boy: cough
Boy: Ouch ...
Tooth Fairy: Oh ... shit.
Pints of blood was pouring from every single wound. If it went on like this, in less than 30 seconds, he would go into shock from blood loss.
I do have a better idea.
Tooth Fairy: Damn ... damn it ...!
Because of the blood, my fingertips kept slipping uncontrollably on the glass jar that I carried, and I could barely open it.
Tooth Fairy: Look up, boy, look up ...
Knock the area three fingers from the lower jaw. Hold the nape gently. Stretch the throat muscles.
For the first time I was so unconfident about the dosage ... and also the first time to try to heal a human with tooth fairies.
My arms were moving like a machine, stuffing the boy's body with these little monsters that were dropping golden powder.
Tooth Fairy: The fifth ...
Tooth Fairy: Yes, right ... good boy ... go on, swallow it.
Boy: cough
Boy: Huh ...
Tooth Fairy: Hah ... Hah ...
Tooth Fairy: ... Thank goodness.
Boy: Um ...
Tooth Fairy: Please do not move.
Tooth Fairy: The wound on your ankle is expected to heal in thirty minutes. We're in the motel near the highway. I will ask you a few questions. Please answer as quickly and accurately as possible.
Tooth Fairy: How many fingers?
Boy: Uh, hiss ... you are ... two?
Tooth Fairy: Please do not move. Is it day or night?
Boy: Day ...?
Tooth Fairy: Good boy. Do you remember your name and age?
John: Jo ... John. John Garcia ... 13 years old. I lives in the Mare Town nearby.
Tooth Fairy: Thanks for the cooperation.
Tooth Fairy: You could call me ...
John: Hm? What's covered around my feet ... ?
Tooth Fairy: ... ! Don't!
John: Wow ... ah! What ... what are these?!
John: Are they ... wings? My God! The ointment has golden powder on it ...
Tooth Fairy: ... Please don't worry. It's not harmful, nor will it make you feel painful. If it's hard to take, just close your eyes and don't think about it.
Tooth Fairy: This is a motel. You could call me Tooth Fairy. It's their name, and mine too.
John: No, this looks COOL ... I'm not afraid. It feels amazing on my ankle!
Tooth Fairy: ...
John: Did you save me? With that amazing ... ointment?
Tooth Fairy: In fact, I caused the accident. Fortunately, I know how to heal in some way.
John: I'm sorry ... Mom once warned me to stay off the highway. I just ... I ... my beetle ... it went out to the middle of the road.
Tooth Fairy: No. You should not be the one to apologize.
Tooth Fairy: Your Mom is right. Please keep her words in mind.
John: I will! I just ... hiss!
Tooth Fairy: ... Take a deep breath ... Open your mouth.
John: Hey! It ... it's alive ... Wow, a flying granny ...
John: Shall I just put it in my mouth?
Tooth Fairy: If you want the best healing effect, I suggest you swallow it.
John: Ugh ... hmm! It's sour. And a little sweet!
John: Hmm ... huh? The loose tooth in my mouth is gone!
Tooth Fairy: ... It's here.
Tooth Fairy: ... Are you taking it back?
John: Oh, not really. I'm surprised you didn't throw it away!
John: Hmm ... and, the granny, can I have one more?
Tooth Fairy: I'm very sorry, John. This is the last one.
Tooth Fairy: But if you behave well, I'll give you some other snacks.
I searched in my pocket, trying to find something other than a tooth ... anything like a toffee, or sea salt flavoured chocolate, or a caramel kind of thing ... Kids need it.
Tooth Fairy: Like ... a candy?
John: Awesome! I've never had candies before!
John: Wow! In your pocket ...
John: Why are there SO many teeth?!
Tooth Fairy: It's my personal hobby.
John: Hobby ...
John: Ah! I get it! Is it just like I love the beetles?
Tooth Fairy: ... Probably.
John: No wonder you didn't throw that baby tooth away!
John: In that case, I'll trade you this for a candy ... Huh?
John: Ah! It's here!
John: It's Toto's tooth that fell out this morning! It always loves it when I rub its belly.
Tooth Fairy: ... Thanks.
John: You're welcome ... Hey, wait, it's amazing! I don't feel any pain at all! Not even hungry anymore!
John: You're even better than Grandma Susie!
Tooth Fairy: ... Grandma Susie?
John: Her cabin is right next to my house! People in town said Grandma Susie is an arcanist ... She really didn't have a good temper, as she always drove me away with a broom, and never allowed me to catch beetles in her doorway ...
John: But she would secretly give me a few pieces of corn crisps every time, and I haven't tasted any good crisps since she moved away ...
John: Grandma Susie could turn an apple pie out of nothing, and she even moved a huge palace. Although people said that was just illusion, but ... can you do it too?
Tooth Fairy: I'm sorry. I can't do any of them.
John: But you saved my life! You must be an arcanist, too!
Tooth Fairy: Have a taste?
John: It's ... toff ... toffee! Oh, I tuned out just now ... Here's Toto's tooth!
I looked at the tiny tooth in my palm, and guessed it might belong to a bloodhound whose bloodline wasn't pure. Apparently, the owner of the tooth was also malnourished.
John: Mmm ... so sweet!
John: ... Ms. Tooth Fairy, is it that whatever the pain, you could drive it away?
Tooth Fairy: I wish I could. But the truth is, there is no one who could cure all diseases.
John: But you are powerful ... Arcanists are all very powerful ...
Tooth Fairy: Powerful doesn't equal all-powerful, John.
Tooth Fairy: If it hadn't been me who caused the accident ... or if I had hestitated even for a second, it would be a completely different story.
Tooth Fairy: ... Now, you should get some rest. Feeling no pain doesn't mean you've recovered.
Tooth Fairy: Tuck in, and get some sleep. Then I will take you back.
Motel is not a good place to rest, but sometimes we don't have a choice. Fortunately, John was so skinny that even the smallest quilt was way adequate for him.
Gradually he's breathing well, and my nerves finally relaxed for a moment.
John: Ms. Tooth Fairy ...
Tooth Fairy: ...?
John: If I may ...
I saw him turn over with difficulty under the quilt.
John: Can you please ... meet my Mom later ...?
