Coronis

Preparing specimens, collecting pharmaceutical materials, and gathering abnormal biological tissue

There's no illness I can't cure, as long as you're willing to pay the price~

Built a custom Neo Solution-powered exoskeleton for a completely paralyzed patient, helping him stand and walk again. Rescued a Trekker suffering from heart failure by using Artifacts with magic. Gave my own eye an upgrade. (※: This part is for Boss' eyes only.)

I recently brewed a potion to improve one's sleep. It works wonders, as long as the dosage is strictly controlled. A few merchants caught wind of it and came offering a high price for the formula. I rejected them politely with my Charon in hand. For overdose prevention, patients will have to come by my clinic for a freshly mixed dose.

Seeking daring individuals for my head transplant research. Survival is not guaranteed, but if you've ever wanted a new body, come knock on my door!

She's actually really kind. She gave me these cute medical patches, and they made all the pain go away! —Firefly

Name: ████ Age: ██ █ Month, █ Day: Two days post-suturing, the wounds are healing surprisingly fast. The patient's resilience is exceptional—definitely a subject of interest for further study. █ Month, █ Day: External wounds have almost fully healed, but the patient's vital signs are still below average. Bed rest for several days is recommended. ... █ Month, █ Day: Before discharge, I drew three vials of venous blood from the patient. Analysis confirmed ██████. Follow-up monitoring is necessary.

Coronis dropped this record on Lucky Oasis. The remaining pages are completely blacked out. Boss, you should drop in and return this to her. —Iris

Total Weekly Income: 116,056 Dorra "Heh, looks like the clinic's running pretty well. I'll buy that specimen I've had my eye on in a bit." With a smile, Coronis tosses the book into the trash.

"She's the Grim Reaper!" The only kid who's ever stepped foot inside Coronis' clinic swears there's a mysterious little room filled with strange animal specimens and even human bones. And hanging on the wall is a huge scythe. "That must be the Grim Reaper's weapon!"

"She's a homunculus!" One kid who received her treatment insists, "I had a close look at it while she was checking me out! One of her eyes is totally mechanical. It glows blue light! And sometimes, instead of saying she's eating, she says she's recharging. That's what a robot would say!"

"She's a monster that eats human meat!" One kid who once followed Coronis out of curiosity says, "I saw her talking to this really sick guy, and she told him she'd waive his treatment fee if he gave her his leg!" "Later, I saw that same leg in her clinic—in a jar! She's totally pickling it to eat later!"

"She's the grim reaper, and a possible grave robber!" A new girl, who overhears the conversation, chimes in. She says she's heard the adults around town call Coronis the Reaper in White." What if she's some kind of legendary figure, like a subordinate of the Tyrant in fairy tales? But then... She remembers the adults talking about Coronis' huge scythe, which isn't just any regular weapon—they say she dug it up from underground. If it came from six feet under... Maybe she's robbing graves! That would make sense, right?

The kids argue with each other passionately, completely oblivious to the white figure approaching them. "If you're that curious, why not come to my clinic and find out?" Coronis speaks up suddenly, watching as the kids freeze and then scatter like startled birds, shrieking in unison.

The girl stubbornly clung to life and, after several days in a coma, escaped death's grasp. When Coronis was changing her bandages, the girl lay in bed gazing up at her in pure admiration. "You're incredible! I was split clean in two, and you still managed to patch me back together!" "You flatter me. Honestly, I didn't think I could." Coronis pressed a vial of strangely colored medicine into her hand. "Since you refused to die, then do your best to live."

The girl remained in Coronis's clinic for over a month before finally recovering enough to leave. They bonded almost instantly. The horned girl spoke freely about her past—her life in Nocturn Eterna and the stories of her adventures. Coronis listened with quiet interest. She did not judge, she was simply intrigued by the unknown. When she left, the girl said that the gift of life could never truly be repaid, but if circumstances allowed, she would one day send Coronis a gift worthy of that grace. Coronis thought little of it. What she had done was already a fair exchange. Yet fifteen months after the girl's departure, an anonymous package arrived at the clinic. Inside was a pitch-black scythe and a single strange line: "Without a proper weapon, how can a healer wrest lives from the Death?" —The girl had sent her thank-you present, after all.
