The Girl in a Coma

The man looked at Alex with wide eyes. "Would you… would you do that for me?" he asked.

"Your daughter is in a coma. As an alchemist and a doctor, I cannot find it in me to ignore the situation. Especially when it looks like it can not be solved by just the two of you," he said.

The man immediately bowed. "Thank you, young man," he said, crying tears. He could tell by now that the young man he had accidentally brought along was no normal person.

He could tell from the start that he was someone special by the way he constantly hid his face in the mask. Which was why he never dared to ask what his name was.

Given that he was good at looking for ingredients, he could also tell that the young man was an alchemist. Given the special treatment he had received in these places where he could move around without having to pay, the young man almost believed he was someone from the Imperial family.
