Chapter 84: The Healer, Sato Iyashi (IV).

Kein's POV

The three of us were ready to go back to the adventurer's guild after a goodnight's rest and breakfast. The Madrigal Family story came to a close, we catched up with one another, now I got to see and know their little one.

"Kein be safe on the demon lands, it won't be easy but I hope that the items I gave you will help you on your journey." (Big Sister Valentina) pats my shoulder, standing straight and proud. "The little squirt from before went from being a brat to a good woman."

"That means a lot, hermana." I told her, and I couldn't help hugging my older sister's figure tightly. "Thank you for your help, once this is all over I want both of you to see Rose back home in the capital city."

"Si, I have missed her and I will take note of not telling my wife your lover's true identity in the meantime." (Big Sister Valentina) lets go of our embrace and I turn to her wife who was trying to keep her tears inside, doing her best to not cry while holding a few woven boxes in her hands, every middle part is being held by an expensive colored handkerchief.

"Now, now before you leave I made a little something for all of you to bring." She walked over to us one by one and asked for us to open our palms. "There you go."

"Here's your packed lunch, now don't eat it all in one go! Make sure to eat well when you leave after this. I'm unfamiliar with the demon lands but if you plan on leaving soon then you should be ready for anything that might happen." (Sister Gisela) gave us a packed lunch, it seems that she had time to make this after our breakfast. She bustled in and worked for about an hour in the kitchen.

We could tell who was Sister Gisela's favorite because Avery's portion was doubled compared to ours. "Have all of you packed everything you needed before leaving?"

"Yes, Sister Gisela. We have to thank you for everything you did for us, you and your wife." I gratefully nodded to my two long time friends and kept Sister Gisela's food in my [Storage Ring].

"Thank you, as well for your recommendation of a healer, it will help with our mission." (Kazari) thanked them both with a deep bow, showing her deep appreciation for these two and held her lunch box at hand.

It was Avery's turn, as she walked forward her hands were shaking and looked a little sad. "Sniff… Thank you both, Mrs. Madrigal for the home cooked meal you packed for us. I rarely get warm food to eat while on the go on a mission so this means a lot. Little Elana is a lucky one, you're a very cool and kind mom!"

The blonde hero's smile was radiating everywhere, it was clear that her heart and words were of purity- there was no other intent to it- it was a genuine response. "I love your cooking, maybe next time that I swing by here may I visit to play with little Elena again?" (Avery) asked, already getting attached to her new set of friends.

"Jajaja! If we could, we would've already adopted you! You would have been the perfecto older sister for my daughter! Adventurous, curious and hilarious! Es una pena!" (Big Sister Valentina) reaches out to Avery's blonde hair and starts messing it up a little, looking like she's going to miss the little hero already.

"You're welcome to mi casa anytime, hermana. A friend of Kein, is a friend of ours. You can stay here or contact us if you have any problems."

"That includes you too." She turns to Kazari who widens her eyes, shocked, hearing that she was also welcome to come back at any time. "If you ever need any information or business trades, you know where to find us. We'll be making this our vacation home but just ask any staff here and they'll show you our address."

I could see Sister Gisela's proud look in her eyes towards her wife, she held her arm tightly pressing their bodies against each other. "Even if we're not here, I'll be informing every staff in the mansion to welcome you well."

"T-Thank you…" (Kazari) replies, eyes cast down and looking a little shy. I smiled seeing that she was not forgotten, even if the hero is clearly their favorite they still made sure to make Kazari feel welcomed.

"Well then… this is goodbye… be safe you three!" (Sister Gisela)

"Si, do not die when you get to the demon lands. You owe me a tour, and my wife a surprise when we get back to the capital city!" (Sister Valentina) yelled and I laughed, waving my hand goodbye to them as well all started walking towards the entrance.

"Yeah! Yeah! I'll give you a surprise, alright!" I yelled over, soon their figures were getting smaller until they were no longer there. We were filled with silence, not until I was handed back my Pegasus horse by a servant who was pulling her leash.

"Vanilla!" I yelled seeing a huge Pegasus figure not too far away in the distance, getting her attention and looked very happy to see me.

"Mrrph!" (Vanilla) was running towards me, galloping and her wings were spread like they wanted to hug me.

Gallop! Gallop!

I could hear her steps getting louder than fainter, she was flying a few meters up before I was wrapped around by a pair of soft feathered wings. "Neigh!" (Vanilla) tells me she missed me, that this place was great and that she missed me twice.

"I missed you too! Are you okay-"

My familiar didn't even let me finish my words before she started liking me all over my face. "Ew! Not again! How many times do I have to tell you that your saliva is hard to wash out?" I tried wiping her disgusting saliva out of me and grimaced.

"Aw I forgot your Pegasus was here, my familiar just comes and goes whenever he pleases after being summoned he can just go back to his familiar space. He's not very affectionate like your Pegasus here." (Avery) observes Vanilla who stuck her tongue out before helping me get up from the floor.

"Well we've bonded for years too, it helps that Pegasus creatures are empathetic and understanding creatures that help humans during their need." I patted Vanilla's neck gently, standing up from the floor.

"Well time to summon my own ride, [Summon]." (Avery) chants her spell summoning a great tiger beast to accompany her from before. "Will you be riding with me, Kazari? We won't go fast again like last time."

Kazari looked a little concerned but seeing that the hero promised there will be no more race it will be a smooth ride. "I will go with you, Avery."

"Nice, nice. Hey! Kein, let's just take a nice long walk! I think our buddy here got traumatized the last time we… you know." (Avery) gets on, offering her hand to Kazari before bringing her to the back of her familiar. "Hup! There we go, you getting comfy Kazari?"

Kazari settled in the back with its very soft patterned fur, and sat down holding Avery's waist.

"I am."

"Great, we're good to go then."

Something tells me that if the first princess has ever gotten the chance to ever see or know of this scene she'll be extremely jealous. "Noted, we'll take a good pace to the adventurer's guild."

I also buckled up on Vanilla's saddle before instructing the other two to buckle up their ride.

"To the adventurer's guild!" I yelled and Avery followed, the three of us were on the journey to interview our possible new healer.

"Kazari~ Kazari what's your sister like? You're nice so does that mean she's also nice?" (Avery) asked while we enjoyed the scenery from the side. "I wonder what's it like having a sister- well I'm an only child so I keep on wondering you know, what's it like having siblings."

"My sister, Sato Iyashi is… I don't remember much. I was young when I escaped the island but she is a decent blood related person based on my memories- perhaps after all these years she's changed." (Kazari) seemed so unsure with her answer making Avery sweat a little but quick witted as always she managed to lighten up the mood after.

"Oh-! Well if that's the case then we'll see what she's really like when we get there in the VIP guild. Whatever happens though if you're not comfortable with your sister being our healer we can always hire other healers."

"We have no choice, if what Mrs. Madrigal said it is true if we have Iyashi by our side our chances of winning will be doubled and if I am being honest with the way we are now we won't last for even an hour." (Kazari) was overthinking from the looks of it with the way her eyebrows were furrowed.

Avery shakes her head, "Make that a day- I fought the demon lord all alone for a day in her dungeons on the very top floor, with no food or water last year. I lasted with many bruises, good thing nothing was broken with our state of the fight but-"

"But?"

"When I fought the demon lord I only did just a little scratch on her armor scale, real dragon armor is tough even with wielding a cursed sword like mine. I should've honestly gotten a divine weapon instead, maybe that ought to double my chances." (Avery) mentions a divine sword and my ears perked up, knowing that I have one stored in my [Storage Ring].

"I know divine swords are strong but will it really make a huge difference in a battle?" I asked, curious because- I possess a divine sword that I got from a knight quest back when I first met Natashia, getting her inside [Puronia] borders and winning a good loot from it.

The wind of the peaceful forest path blew and our hair waved in synch, "May I answer your question, Miss Kein? My father has told me the reason why divine swords would work in favor of the heroes."

"Go for it! Honestly the god that transported me in this world just told me if I get a very cool rare sword I'll be unstoppable or something." (Avery) shrugged her shoulders lazily and Kazari answered, turning over to me with a smile.

"Divine swords are blessed by the gods and goddesses themselves, leaving a small fraction of their power into these weapons, they will highly 'power up' the heroes with their skills and attributes, that is what my father has said." (Kazari) looks rather excited when explaining the concept of divine weapons. "A divine weapon being wielded by a mere person cannot unlock its other capabilities, it would only act like any other regular sword."

"My father once possessed a sword that could easily kill demons with ease, pierce through dragon armor like butter and was on par when it came to strength with the former demon lord."

"Whoa! Then your dad is pretty awesome!" (Avery) looked back at Kazari with a widened smile hearing those stories that were almost hard to believe. Maybe if Kazari's father was still alive we could take on the current demon lord with ease.

"He had… a few shortcomings as a father… just like me, I cannot easily show my emotions but- he was a good person. Truly, he sacrificed many things just to save people from war." (Kazari) gently scratched the side of her cheek looking shy as she talked more about her past relations with her family. "I hope that answered your question, Miss Kein."

"Yeah! Basically if I get a really cool divine weapon I could deal a whole lot of damage." (Avery) tells me and smirks. "But sadly we don't have enough time to venture out to find one for this mission, boo."

"Well I was asking what would be the effect of a divine weapon if you should wield it, now that I know- Avery, want to have my divine sword that I picked up on a random slime ruin?"
