I feel it's likely going to be the ogre/demon that saved him before.
It helps that he's basically the only other significant character that Mr. Medicine knows besides the salesman that pawned off Ms. Elf, and the only one that could feasibly be a mentor figure. Law of Conservation of Detail and all...

But you're forgetting the genre. Wholesome as it is, it's still about a sexy elf girl. Even if that character has been established, decades have passed. And here, we got a character in a plague mask, necessitating an unmasking. Unmaskings are for characters we don't know the appearance of.
So even if the mentor is alluded to, "that person" is probably a formal apprentice...and daughter.
Even if he gave her the necklace to save herself, there is no feasable way for her to fend for herself the moment he passed out. The intention might have been different, but the outcome is still the same.
*Thud!*If you ever get separated from mePlease use this necklaceI have to... do something...!The next morning, as the blizzard had abated, I tried to continue along the trail, but my pace was slower than I expected... and my vision darkened.
I came to the decision late, but I used a spell to send a request for aid from my friend.
Since long ago, that person had cautioned me against it, but I had once again pushed myself beyond my limits...As my consciousness faded, I felt a warm, strong wave of mana from my back. I didn't find out until I opened my eyes again that this was Reszurre activating the necklace imbued with signal mana, that I had put on her for the purposes of protecting herself, in order to save me.Mr. Apothecary...!!
