Kein's POV

A few minutes after Avery arrived, we didn't even hear her opening the door-

"Oh... Kein! Do you think she'll be fine?! Why did she have to go and faint like that-?! And Kazari told me she fainted because of me?!" The blonde girl was in a panic, because she was the reason that our newest party member fainted and fell flat onto the floor. "How could I have made her faint?! I was only eating my Pintxo?!"

"I did have a suspicion that it was just your passive skill charm you know, working without you knowing? But it seems that this was a regular thing before you two even got acquainted." I patted her back assuring her that it wasn't her fault. "Calm down, she usually comes back after all good and well- you should've seen her an hour ago."

An hour ago would be another case of fainting just after hearing I possess a powerful divine weapon and a hero joining our party.

"What in the world happened an hour ago- I just left you two alone for that short amount of time... and there's already things happening!" (Avery) covered her mouth looking a little hurt before taking something out of her inventory. "[Inventory]."

"Sniff... And I remembered to bring you both something to eat while I was on my little detour." (Avery) shows us a still piping hot take out of what she was eating before.

"Don't you mean your little date-? Ah this was the Pintxo you were eating before, thank you for considering bringing us some food, generous hero." I patted her back while taking a pintxo plopping it into my mouth.

"Mm... this is good!" I could taste the tortilla omelet, it combines elements of scrambled eggs with a crustless potato pie. The ingredients encompass potatoes, onions, milk, eggs, olive oil, and various seasonings. Potatoes and onions are sautéed in olive oil until they both start to soften, after which eggs are scrambled in the same pan until the entire mixture achieves a firm and fully cooked consistency.

"Kazari, you should give it a try." I urged Kazari to take one and try it for herself. "We can never eat anything like this back home so enjoy it."

The personal maid didn't say anything else and took one to try.

"The sprivanian food they have here... are full of flavor and spices." she says with a smile and we continued eating while updating Avery as to what happened by the past hour after meeting Kazari's older sister.

"So as you can see, this is Kazari's older sister- I don't know how you missed that considering the fact that the two of them are almost identical twins-"

Avery frowns, "Can't a human make a mistake? Jeez, I didn't see the resemblance. I'm a little weak on the facial memory thing. I can't even remember names much and you're lucky I remember yours." she tells me while taking more box take outs of pintxo out of her inventory, sulkingly. "Hmph... nom."

"How many boxes of those did you even buy- ahem anyways getting back on track. We managed to have Sato Iyashi agree with our request and she's good to go to join our party. With a few conditions..."

"What conditions?" (Avery) asked, looking worried.

"Kazari has to go home and show the Sato Clan where they kept the hidden treasure that their old man was hiding from them." I replied.

"You know- what if that hidden treasure is just any other cliche like... The treasure hidden in this room is the family we have or friends we made along the way." (Avery) raised her concern, waving her hand while holding her food before chomping it down, chewing as she continued. "I'm bwetting nyou! It's growing two bwe sweomthing like that!"

"I assure you the treasure is... nothing like that." (Kazari) cringed at the thought, imagining trying to find a treasure for years or even a decade with such high expectations only to be met with some family or friends along the way. "My father is not one for these kinds of sentimental things, it is real gold to which he hid. I have seen it- but I don't want to touch any part of it. Only I know where it is."

"Damn! Are old heroes rich-?! Oh wait Kazari can I ask-?!"

"Yes?" (Kazari)

"You mentioned that there are so many Sato Clan people in your family, imagine sharing it! You get a big fortune loaded but you'll have so many other family members trying to fight for it! Heck in this fantasy world, it would be such a normal thing to hold a deathmatch thing!"

Huh... that made me think. If we guess what time frame Kazari's deceased father came from- there would be a small chance that if he came from the traditional years of Japan where dueling others for birthright is normal, whatever Kazari said just now could be true!

...

Many memories suddenly came back with my South East Asian household, screaming and fighting trying to fight over our birthright- a piece of land that many other outside family members would be fuming if they can't own it.

Oh... those memories are such a headache.

"It won't be a good thing to have constantly on your mind, that's for sure. Many families have been torn apart by such squabbles, something like that..." I didn't even continue because the memories were getting clearer and I only hoped that my earth Vivienne... had gotten all the birthright I could offer as a professor.

I still had a small land in the Philippines that was meant to be hers. I hope she treasured it and is taking great care of it.

"Indeed, but I have offered to give Iyashi my part of the birthright, I want nothing else but the heart of the demon lord and to come back home to the first princess." (Kazari) gave us both a wide smile with a slightly reddened face.

Avery blinks quickly as if realizing something, she raises her eyebrows looking at us like we made some huge scandal. "You guys- don't tell me- No way! Are the both of you dating those light princesses?! Like the first and second one?! The twins!"

Busted-

"...I mean."

As the hero asked, Kazari looked away, ignoring the question, keeping quiet and saying nothing.

"..."

I shrugged casually replying, "I'm not denying mine I have nothing to hide with you guys. I'm currently in a situationship with the second light princess, yes but I don't think we'll make it entirely official not until her engagement with... my cousin has broken up."

Avery almost choked with her food, she hit her chest a few times to let it loose before pointing a finger at me with a shocked yet laughing face. "NAH YOU TRIPPIN-! You've got to be kidding me?! I forgot about that! YOU'RE WILD! WILDER THAN ME FOR MESSING WITH AN ENGAGED PRINCESS!"

"..." I wanted to bury my head into the ground. "Avery... please shut up, it's a loveless marriage and I'm doing my best to save the love of my life from unhappiness please."

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding but since you two are having princesses for loversk, just curious there was a third princess... How old is she and there's no prospects of engagement from her yet right-?" (Avery) held her chin in deep thought. "I wonder what it's like dating a princess, do you two get spoiled often?"

"Um..." (Kazari)

"Well..." I didn't know how to answer because of the different areas of the meaning of 'spoiled'.

Spoiled in what area?

I don't know about Kazari but I've been sort of spoiled in bed. That's my only flex. Wait... I also get hugs, kisses, and I've been pinned down... huh... I- um... remembering that passionate night has gotten me a bit homesick.

I want to go home and see Rose.

"Ungh..."

I heard a faint groan and saw it was Sato Iyashi finally awake, looking around in a dizzy state. Wait, I could use this chance to create a diversion! Avery is easily distracted!

"OH LOOK SHE'S AWAKE! KAZARI YOUR SISTER IS AWAKE!" I nudged her side asking for support because I know the both of us don't want to admit that we both get spoiled often by our lovers.

"S-So she is! Good Morning, sister! You have awoken at a very, very good time!" (Kazari) laughed nervously, I feared we would be caught changing the subject but thank god for Avery's curiosity and personality.

"Ah-! Hello! Good Morning! Wait, it's in the afternoon now, silly Kazari! Good afternoon!" (Avery) stood up and tried getting closer to Iyashi but stopped. "If I uh... get close will she faint again?"

"Maybe... good question. The both of us should talk to her first before letting her meet Avery again, she could faint from the excitement."

"Agreed." n-)OVeLbIn

Avery stayed still on a corner eating her Pintxo while we talked to Sato Iyashi who was just waking up from her unconscious state. I helped her balance herself on the sofa. Iyashi was trying to take in deep breaths while looking around.

"I had a dream that I insulted the hero by asking her who the heck she is and for her to mind her own business." (Iyashi) chuckled, wiping the sweat out of her forehead looking relieved that everything that happened was just a dream. "I could never imagine myself insulting a hero-"

"Don't faint but the hero you're talking about right now is inside this room."

"..."

"I swear to the god of light if you faint I will make it permanent we don't have a lot of time, please-"

Thud-!

It was the noise of her body lumping back down into the sofa, fainting and her mind became unconscious once more.

Another one, Iyashi is a different kind of person with special needs.

"She fainted again, damn it! Give me that cup of water that will wake her up!"

"We could wait. I think she has that thing called- What's that name again... Vasovagal syncope! It's a condition that leads to fainting in some people. It's also called neurocardiogenic syncope or reflex syncope. It's the most common cause of fainting. It's usually not harmful and not a sign of a more serious problem." (Avery) took her observation to an account.

"We have to be careful and let her- oh my god, Kazari!"

Kazari was not patient enough to wait for her sister to wake up on her own.

Splash!

"I-I'm up! Ah! What the heck, that was cold!"

"Apologies, I got tired of waiting."
