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

Kein's POV

"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?"

...

Avery's eyes twinkled hearing my offer, she leaned over towards my direction almost falling off of her familiar's back. "You have a divine sword?!" she asks me, screaming in excitement.

I took the sword out of my [Storage Ring] and gave it to her, its white long golden intricate design with its sheath does give off the impression that it's meant for the gods high above.

We all stopped on the road for a minute as I gave her my divine weapon, she slid her finger trips on the surface of the blade doing an appraisal on it and smiled. "[Scan]!"

...

Five minutes later...

Crash!

"..."

"..."

"...shit."

Bam!

The three all came falling down. We all looked at each other at the big ass tree that Avery just cut with a swing of the divine sword, the noise even alerted all the birds and they started flying off into the distance.

"...we should go."

"Agreed." (Avery and Kazari)

The three of us were walking away to a huge tree that was cut in half with just one swing. We were worried that the noise would wake a lot of monsters up and gain their attention, making us waste more time so we decided to continue on with our journey.

"I can't believe you have what I've been looking for so long! Thanks, Kein!" (Avery) held the divine sword in her hand before putting it into a safe place like her [Inventory]. "[Inventory]."

"You've already tested the thing, it's a good thing you scanned it first before trying it out in this dense forest. If we do anything rash we'll have the authorities involved on why half of the forest has been cut down." I sighed a breath of relief, seeing that her attack had been upgraded to almost a thousand ATK damage.

With this we'll have our chances even higher on fighting the demon lord and killing her to get her heart.

"It seems that my father's words were right, to you Miss Kein I am surprised that you've unlocked half of its potential by using a divine weapon." (Kazari) stares at me for a long time as she holds her chin. "You've been favored by the deities enough that you've tapped half its power- are you connected to them in some way?"

"Ahaha.... Connected to the deities, not really. I'm not even a believer of church, the goddess of light and all that I've been raised as a person who doesn't believe in such things like that. I did believe in them before, but now... I'm not so sure." I answered, feeling a bit faint hearted remembering the time that I asked for a wish towards the gods ringing the bell and wishing for my daughter to get well.

"A shame, perhaps if you'd had more faith the sword might have given you a chance. Even as a descendant of the Sato Clan, we do not possess the qualities and traits of a hero and as such we cannot tap into the abilities of the divine weapon like a proper summoned hero." (Kazari) explains and we pondered over it on the way towards the adventurer's guild.

"Let's test it out when we arrive at the dungeon."

...

Adventurer's guild.

We arrived into the guild while I parked Vanilla outside near the entrance and Avery did the same. They both sat down talking to one another and we left them there to finally find the legendary healer of the Sato clan, Sato Iyashi.

"Big Sister Valentina said the VIP room and we can use these cards to easily get in but- where is the said room?" I looked around as I held the golden card in my hand. I can't find a door that says 'VIP' anywhere so we decided to get to the registrar and just ask.

"Avery, would you do the honors?" I asked, giving a mischievous grin.

"Eh?"

"Don't you remember? You owe a cute registar here a date." I motioned for Avery to go with me to the registrar to ask around.

"Oh that- but we don't have time for a date-"

"I'm only kidding, come on we just need to ask where the VIP room is and we'll be on our way." I motioned for her to follow, Avery replied with a sigh walking behind me as we went up to the registrar with no one else in line- we rang up the bell and soon help was here when we needed it.

"Hello, how can I help you- oh! I-It's your hero! H-Hi! How is your day have you um... eaten yet?" The registar was the same person from last time. The shy girl that clearly had a crush on Avery and it was clear that she took a bit of time taking care of herself today.

Her nails were done, hair was neatly tied into a smooth braid and her lips had a bit of faint lipstick on it. The registrar's eye bags underneath were hidden by a bit of makeup and foundation. It seems she had a feeling that Avery would come visit her soon.

"I have eaten, thank you for asking. You should too, it's in the afternoon and I can't believe you're still working. Aren't you hungry?" (Avery) asked, looking concerned. It seems she's also noticed the tired look in the girl's eyes but she denies being hungry and went straight into business.

"I-I'm... I've been um busy because I've been given the task that you've requested. Someone has filed and paid for an advance in creating your friend's adventurer card and has your names in the VIP guest list for today." She gave us two envelope's, sliding it outside the window and we unsealed it, before opening.

"It's our guild cards, wow... this is the first time I'm owning something like this." I held the lowest rank card in my hand and chuckled, this is way faster than my country's national ID that took years before it ever came to my home. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome, your request for a healer before has been also denied. Your guest from the VIP room has been very adamant that you take no one but her- she's pretty popular around these parts... b-but I expect nothing more from the hero to take amazing people to her party!" The registar was basically having a flushed red face as she talked.

Avery laughed nervously being humble, "N-No I'm not that great. I'm even lucky I'm having these people at my party." she answered towards the registrar who kept making little love hearts at our little hero companion.

Kazari took her envelope and held the adventurer guild card in her hand looking satisfied with the outcome. "The healer in the VIP room, how long has she been waiting?"

"Ever since this morning actually, she's been here up and early, resting inside the VIP room since not much enters the vicinity seeing it's reserved for only high ranked adventurers." The registar answered, pointing a finger at the corner of the guild hall.

"It's just right down the hallway and you should find a very private room with a few guarded adventurers outside."

"..."

Kazari took her leave first, nodding her thanks. We were a bit startled with how she left looking like she was in a hurry.

"Eh- we're leaving already?" (Avery) asks, and I shake my head.

"Avery, why don't you chat up a bit with this kind miss who's been doing her best to help us. You know seeing that it's lunch, just come back after an hour- you can even get Kazari and I some take out." I wrapped my arms around her shoulder, eyes staring at the young beautiful miss who looked nervous awaiting Avery's answer.

"Hmm... Are you guys even hungry? We just ate and besides we have packed lunch."

"A lot. I know Sister Gisela packed us some lunch but I don't want to share them with a healer I barely know. Mind getting out and getting us a take out?"

"Kein... I know, I know. We owe her a lot. I'll be taking her out for lunch, you don't need to beat around the bush. I'll be back in an hour, okay?" (Avery) takes my arm off, and pouts. "Just fill me in on everything after and I want to try testing out the new healer's skill if Kazari ever approves."

"You betcha, go on and have fun on your date." nove)Lb.1n

Avery laughs and I mess her head a little before she went back to the girl, I managed to hear snippets of their conversation wanting to see how it will go.

"I-Is there anything else I can help you with, hero?"

"Yes, it's lunch and you told me you haven't eaten yet from the looks of it. Would you like to go on a little stroll with me and eat?" (Avery) had her charm activated, even making the other people in the adventurer guild swoon with that question.

"...?!"

After the question was asked, I could see everyone inside the registar all of the girl friend's stopped whatever they were. Some even stopped writing, spilling a bit of ink into the paper, one even had her head leaning over trying to hear more- Hahaha! Chismosa!

"I... I..." The girl turned around looking for support from her friends.

They all did an eye roll smiling and yelling, "Just go out with her to lunch already!

"We'll cover your part!"

"Whoo that's my friend!"

All their cheers looked like Avery's been that girl's crush for quite a while, meaning there must've been a deeper reason as to why she liked her for so long.

"..."

Well our debt has been repaid, I don't even know that girl personally but I hope Avery treats her to a good lunch out in the city.

"Hey, Kazari! Wait up!" I hurried down the hall and made sure not to lose sight of this other girl who seemed to be having her head's stuck in the clouds in concern.

I managed to catch up with her just in time. I grabbed her shoulder, knocking Kazari out of her senses. "Hey, I know you're ready to meet your sister but don't forget about your other party members who should be there to give you some back up just in case something happens."

"Apologies... I... the door is just... right over there." (Kazari) points over to the golden door, with a golden inscription that says V.I.P room. "My sister... is in there."

"Is it a lot?"

"Hai, she's been waiting for me ever since this morning and I feel rather guilty if Iyashi... nee-sama has waited any longer." (Kazari) was slowly using Japanese honorifics in her sentences, that's one thing I noticed once her family was being brought into the talk.

"It's alright we didn't know she was going to come in earlier than expected, and we're here now. Let's just make the best of it seeing that your sister hasn't left." I reassured her and stayed by her side as we got into the VIP door.

"Wait. I must've been fixated on meeting my sister but where is-"

"Oh Avery? I sent her on a little errand, we have to say thank you in some way to the girl that worked here pulling an all nighter making this." I pulled out the shiny guild car with a smirk, her eyes stared at me for a second before she understood.

"She's on a date." (Kazari) smiled faintly before holding the doorknob, opening it.

"What a ladies woman, am I right?" I joked.

Creak...

"Heroes are summoned with natural charm abilities if won by luck. Descendants of heroes are also the same." (Kazari) mutters out and an unknown figure is already sitting not too far away from the door.

"..."

"..."

"..."

I stood frozen in place, I looked to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

Kazari- and another Kazari?!

No, this must be Sato Iyashi.

"Damn."

But the resemblance is uncanny with these two you would think they're twins. Sato Iyashi, a healer with a wooden staff by her side, wearing a white and black kimono having sparrows by the waist of her clothes.

"..." (Iyashi) stood up from her seat, looking unsure on what to do.

"Iyashi." (Kazari) called out and slowly, her sister walked forward.

That is... one tall sister.

"..." (Iyashi) came closer.

I kept guard, making sure if she ever does something she didn't like, I would be here to stop her. Sato Iyashi, did nothing but keep quiet and stare.

Kazari shakes her head looking annoyed that Iyashi was not saying anything back. "Nani ka itte, Iyashi!"

She switched to talking in Japanese and I understood. 'Say something, Iyashi.'

Iyashi smiles faintly before her hands try reaching out to hold her head.

Kazari evades her hand, continuing to look annoyed.

"Hey, easy there I don't think she doesn't like you touching her just yet just because you're blood related." I came forward, getting in the middle blocking her from Iyashi. "We came here to know if you'll be willing to be our healer or not?"

I spoke it all in Japanese, Iyashi widened her eyes looking threatened hearing me speak the same language.

"You... taught her our sacred language?" (Iyashi) turns over to me, looking like I was filth that she didn't want to touch. "Father forbids us from teaching anyone on learning it. Kazari, have you already forgotten the ways of our clan?"

"She didn't teach me, punk. I learned it all on my own." I flexed my Japanese N1 proficiency, including the exam I had to take while I was doing my master's degree.

I couldn't afford anyone to teach me so the best I could do is study on my own.

"A normal human like you, knowing the sacred language that had to be learned only on the island." (Iyashi) looks at me up and down, before shaking her head.

"No matter, you are not who I came for. You... are the one who has to go home with me, Kazari." she looms over us both, being a little bit taller than me.

I clicked my tongue, laughing sarcastically about Kazari going home. We need that dragon heart for her girlfriend and I'll be damned if we don't get that for Princess Cecilia.

She'll live through her years being my sister in law!

"You'll have to get through me first."
