Kouya Hijiri: CHAPTER 26

The old man took me aside and told me her story.

It turned out she was the daughter of the doctor, mentioned by the farmer I'd met on the wrong road. She was a wonder around here. Her mother was ugly and people wondered why she was so beautiful. Her father, the doctor, was arrogant and mean, and he wasn't a very good doctor. However he was the only doctor around here and people visited him. When the daughter reached her high teens, people said she was the reincarnation of Yakushi Nyorai, the Goddess of Medicine, come to help the doctor and the people who visited him.
