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

Kein\'s POV

After dinner it seemed everyone was too tired to move, we all walked carefully into the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, once morning had turned into night.

We sat back onto the living room taking our time to catch up.

"Ah Big Sister Gisela, I forgot to tell you but I\'ve adopted a little one myself recently. I was hoping that maybe one day- her and little Elena could become good friends in the future."

Little Elena\'s green hair that resembled Big Sister Valentina and smile, she resembled her daughter more than Sister Gisela.

"You\'ve adopted recently?" She was excited upon hearing the news. "How old is she? What\'s the color of her hair? What\'s her name?!"

Many questions were raised and of course I answered them all gladly.

"About three years old, blonde hair like mine and her name will be Vivienne Hills." I answered each one and she giggled excitedly.

Oh-! How wonderful! But are you alright with raising it all on your own? Not to mention the fact that you\'ve left to take care of a mission in the demon lands, who knows how long before you can go back to [Puronia]?" She asks me.

Elena walks over to my side, patting my thigh. "Wah… hehehe."

I let her play with my thigh, wondering if she and Vivienne would get along.

"We don\'t have much time anyways… I just have to do my best to get back home as soon as possible, my father and friends in the estate will be taking care of her while I\'m gone." I scratched the back of my head, deciding to not tell her about Rose at the moment.

I\'m sure Sister Gisela would flip out if she knew- that the light maiden from the church that would always help out on the weekends and scolded when we were out doing trouble were the second princess and the current crown princess, heir to the crown of her home.

Sister Gisela places a hand over mine and encourages me that I must come out alive. "When you have little ones waiting for you back home I know how painful it must\'ve been to have parted ways, makes you more eager to go back."

"Yeah… I feel that." I tell her looking wistful, already missing my little girl.

"Already going beyond your years of parenting, Kein?" she asked me with a chuckle and I smiled.

If she only knew.

…

The three of us spent the afternoon trying to get to know the Madrigal Family more, and regarding the Sato Clan it was up to Kazari, if she was ready to tell us her whole side of the story.

"..." (Kazari) only stayed quiet, looking around the hall for any suspicious people.

"We\'re safe here, Kazari. I know my friend is a bit… tricky and a drunk sometimes- honestly I didn\'t even knew she had something about your family but- she won\'t put any of my friends in danger we can trust her."

"...alright."

"Well I\'ve always known kids were energetic and draining but boy that took a lot out of me." (Avery) stretches her back, trying to find that sweet spot where the bones would make a satisfying cracking sound on her body.

"You should spend a day with Vivienne." I tell her laughing, Avery laughs knowing my little daughter is a bundle of joy to be with.

"Your little fella is alright, she looks like the behaved type to me anyways." (Avery) yawned and looked tired walking together in the hallway of the mansion.

"These will be your chambers for the night." The old caretaker stops as she shows us the key, before unlocking the doorknob, twisting it, hearing a satisfying click before opening it to reveal three quest beds all in one room.

"Gracias." I thank her and she gives me the room keys to the guest room.

"Denada, Se?ora. The master has already given you a spare key should you ever come visit for a vacation. If you have any other requests please ring the bell."

I nodded and thanked her once more, we got inside the room. With no hesitation Avery took off her boots and leaped off into one of the soft beds, bouncing off of it with fits of giggles.

"Oh lord! You don\'t know how much I missed fancy expensive beds like these!"

"You like yourself getting spoiled?"

"Who doesn\'t? Heck I\'ll take this over needing to camp outside with a lot of mosquitoes and monsters, thank you very much." (Avery) raised a fair point, one would take the expensive private soft bed pillow over sleeping outside in a tent, with mosquitoes and monsters trying t9 kill you even in your sleep.

"Hahaha you\'ve made a good point I\'m proud- but thank a shower first before you sleep, if you don\'t you\'ll stink for tomorrow morning and you won\'t be able to play with the baby." I tell her that if she doesn\'t care for her hygiene she won\'t be able to play with the baby.

"B-But I like the baby!" She immediately jumps out of the bed going straight for the bathroom door. "I\'ll go bathe myself first!"

I chuckled seeing that Avery letting out her childish side is pretty adorable. I take in the room making sure it\'s up to code, no listening magic items- I know Big Sister Valentina is someone to trust but best to check something out of habit just in case.

I take a quick look and touch every corner, including possible places where someone could hide a magic listening item.

"...hmm." My hands slithered through the nook and corner of cabinets, gathering a bit of dust in my palm and fingers.

"All safe." When there was none I sighed a breath of relief and sat on the bed not too far from where Kazari is sitting. "Kazari, how are you feeling? Are you nervous meeting your sister?"

"..." She stays still for a moment, I could see her body relaxing and her hands clenching into a fist. "I am."

She slowly unclenched, then clenched it again. Kazari was trying her best to look calm, however in reality I could tell by the look of the fear in her eyes that she was scared.

"Can I ask… what happened with the relationship of your sister? I don\'t know much about your family but from Big Sister\'s Valentina\'s words she was trying to look for you does that mean something?"

"...I am the youngest."

"So…?"

"Some of my sisters and brothers indulges in me and have formed a few bonds, but many wanted me dead for having a power that was similar to my father\'s." (Kazari) displays her magical ability that only from the hero bloodline could possess, beyond the elements. "[Teleportation Magic]."

"Sato Iyashi, my onee-sama who must\'ve taken her time trying to find me, has a mission to drag me back home- no matter how long it might take because I carry the key." (Kazari) turns to me holding her chest.

A key… is she being viewed as a tool by the Sato Clan perhaps?

"The key? What do you mean by that, Kazari?" I asked.

"The key to my father\'s chambers. No one can go to his private place other than him and I. It\'s so far and secluded you would need to teleport using a lot of mana reserve." she frowns, face turning bitter. "They want what is inside."

I blinked in surprise. "Trying to break into an old man\'s room, have they no shame?"

"No… in this case it is alright- up that place is where my father\'s gold- treasures and will reside. I am the only one he has ever taken there because I was the last child he could ever bear and has passed down over his magic to." (Kazari) explains, showing me her magic.

She summons a magic circle and takes the pillow on the other side of the bed, making it appear within her arms reach and starts clinging onto it. "Such power could get me something or my body someplace else."

"My mother knew the danger of me staying on the island. The other wives would surely plot against my mother and use me for their own gain, being the youngest out of all the wedded she was powerless against the others." (Kazari) continues looking over the ceiling. "We escaped and deserted out own home, leaving on a small boat, getting back to her hometown before being caught and decided [Sprivanto] will not even be a safe space for us to be in- so we fled to [Puronia] and found a job as servants."

"That\'s… a lot of history to unpack but in some way I\'m glad even after all the chase you\'ve found home in puronia. I\'m glad you were there for the light princesses, especially princess Cecilia." I pat her back, feeling proud of her. "And… I think I\'ve caught on that your feelings is not something platonic, are they?"

"..."

Kazari didn\'t deny or confirm, she smiles before it disappears quickly with her bringing back the topic of her sister.

"Sato Iyashi, if we decide to make a deal with her we might be able to gain a huge advantage in the mission and I am willing to do anything just to save her highness, Princess Cecilia." (Kazari)

"Likewise, she\'s been a good friend to me all those years ago and if we save your sister- it would also mean we\'ll save Rose and the entire kingdom." We were determined to save the light princesses, and it showed.

"I\'m done taking a bath!" (Avery) yelled wearing nothing but a towel. We looked away and waited for her to wear a new set of clothes before looking.

"Wear some clothes first, Avery, have some decency." I told her casually, still not being able to look.

"You guys have to try the magic stone thing that makes the water like a hot tub!"

"Did you say a hot tub?" My body ached for such pleasure! Do you know how wonderful it is to have that in the winter time?!

"There\'s something like that here? Remind me to install something like that back home. I have to ask Big Sister Valentina how she managed to get one."

"Yes! So anyways what\'s going to happen tomorrow? We\'re going to meet your sister and make a negotiation to let her join our party?" (Avery) holds her towel, wiping her head dry.

"I believe so, but I know my sister. We\'ll be needing to pay her some other way than money." (Kazari) held her chin looking concerned.

"...that\'s though I can only think of you coming home will be your sister\'s demand. What do you think?" I asked.

"You\'re right… if there should be a need for me then I will offer my services to my family- just to get the dragon\'s heart."

"Ooo we\'ll get to see your home?" (Avery) asked excitedly sitting down on the bed, Kazari shakes her head in reply.

"It\'s… best not to go to hero\'s island. The monsters there are much higher level than regular lands, they are… mutated in a way that normal humans can\'t survive there without proper escort and protection. We\'ll only be wasting our time."

"Noted. Whatever happens, we\'ll be the ones negotiating for something fair and we\'ll make sure we won\'t add in something you\'re not comfortable with, Kazari." I assured her, standing up to use the bathroom. "My turn to take a bath. You guys rest a bit first, see you in a bit."

"Thank you, Miss Kein for everything you\'re doing for the royal family."

I chuckled, taking a towel and placing it by my shoulder. "Hey, if it\'s to save our lovers I\'ll do everything it takes."

The three of us all took a bath, drying out hair, talking a bit more before saying goodnight.

"Goodnight, everyone. I\'ll turn off the lights now." I muttered out tiringly with a yawn, crawling to reach the switch.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight~"

Click.

Everyone slept well that night.
