Ultimately, Takatsuki still agreed to find a way to take Kiana to see Durandal, and he also returned The Hand to Kiana. There was no trace of Sirin's will left in the Hand, so it seemed that she was still inside Kiana at that time, unlike Mei, who was completely separate.
Kiana held no hatred for Sirin. Looking at the memories of Sirin in Takatsuki's hand, which also represented her personality, she felt a mix of emotions.
"I doesn't hate her, but I still need some time to accept it. For now, Takatsuki, please hold onto it for me. One day, I will retrieve that unavoidable part of my memories."
Finally, Kiana gave a complex look at the Disc in Takatsuki's hand, then said to Takatsuki.
"Thank you, Takatsuki."
Thank him for what? Kiana herself wasn't sure. Perhaps it was for his continuous help, or for some other reason. But seeing Kiana's smile directed at him, Takatsuki felt that his efforts hadn't been in vain.
Perhaps he did all these things because he wanted to see them smile like that.
Kiana went back to rest, leaving Takatsuki alone at the door.
Looking at the memory Disc representing Sirin's personality in his hand, Takatsuki put it back into his backpack.
The next day, Kiana actually woke up early, while the others seemed not to care about Kiana's matters. It seemed a lot had happened yesterday when Takatsuki went to the Entertainment District.
"Takatsuki, you guys don't have to go to the Dungeon today. I'll take you to meet my god friends."
As soon as Hestia saw Takatsuki, she said to him: "I've already told the others."
"??"
What happened yesterday? He had only been gone for one night, or rather, a few hours, and it seemed he had missed a lot.
"Did something happen? Why so sudden?"
Hestia sighed: "Didn't Fu Hua say she was going into seclusion? As it turned out, she was forced to stop yesterday."
"Because she still has old injuries that prevent her from using Edge of Taixuan, so she can't refine it. I'm taking you to meet my god friend, Miach, today. He's the God of Medicine, and I'll also introduce you to a few of my other god friends."
Takatsuki glanced at Fu Hua, who was busy in the kitchen, and nodded. This was indeed a very important matter.
After everyone finished breakfast, under Hestia's urging, they were led by Hestia to the Dian Cecht Pharmacy like children going on a spring outing.
Miach was a blue-haired, blue-eyed male god, and his personality was very gentle.
"Hestia, you're here. Are these your children?"
When everyone arrived, Miach was tending the shop. Seeing Hestia enter the shop with a group of people, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Yes! How about it, Miach? My children are all pretty good, aren't they?"
Hestia put her hands on her hips like a proud parent whose child had been praised and said: "Where's Naaza? Did she go out?"
Miach walked out from behind the counter: "Have a seat. She went out to buy materials. She should be back soon."
"Why did you suddenly bring your Familia's children to the pharmacy?"
Watching everyone sit down one by one, Miach also sat down and asked with some confusion.
"Now that I finally have a Familia, of course I have to introduce them to my old friends! But there is indeed something I need your help with, Miach."
Hestia briefly explained Fu Hua's situation. Miach nodded after listening: "Old chronic injuries, huh? Did the Elixir not work?"
"I don't know, we haven't tried it yet."
Hestia answered instantly, making Miach laugh awkwardly.
"Then let's try the Elixir first. I'll go get it for you."
Miach stood up, walked behind the counter, retrieved a bottle of medicine, and handed it to Fu Hua.
"Give it a try. The Elixir can solve most problems."
As Orario's most expensive potion, the Elixir also had its corresponding effects. Under the expectant gazes of the others, Fu Hua drank it all and then closed her eyes to feel for a while.
After about three or four minutes, Fu Hua opened her eyes and shook her head, "It's no use."
"This is troublesome. An injury that even the Elixir can't cure."
Miach frowned, realizing it was indeed a bit troublesome: "Give me your hand. I'll check the situation."
Fu Hua nodded and extended her hand: "Thank you for your trouble."
Miach placed his hand on Fu Hua's hand as if taking her pulse and closed his eyes. In the Lower World, although the gods sealed themselves, they only sealed their divine power. And this so-called seal was not airtight.
Gods could secretly operate some subtle divine power without being detected by the seal, but this little divine power could do very little. If they used even a bit more, the seal would detect it and send them back.
Miach used some subtle divine power to examine the injuries within Fu Hua's body. The deeper he went, the tighter his brows furrowed.
"What serious injuries. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died from these injuries long ago."
Miach opened his eyes and said with some concern: "Not only are there injuries all over her body, but there's even a fatal injury inside her brain."
"It's really that serious! Is there a way to recover?"
Hestia was also startled. She had originally thought it was just a common injury.
"Yes, but it's very difficult. And relying solely on potions isn't enough; it might also require the cooperation of a battlefield saint's magic to fully recover."
Hestia was very surprised by Miach's conclusion. After all, although he couldn't use divine power, Miach's potion-making skills were god-tier.
"Yes, and the medicinal ingredients require many precious materials that our pharmacy simply doesn't have. Not counting the battlefield saint, the potions alone would cost about 150 million!"
"One hundred million!?" * 5
Except for Fu Hua and Takatsuki, everyone else was startled, but Miach nodded seriously: "After all, the required materials are only produced on the fiftieth floor and beyond."
"I understand, Lord Miach. Please tell me what materials are needed? I will be responsible for gathering them. Also, here is the money for the Elixir, and I'd like to purchase some more Elixir."
Takatsuki pushed out five million in one go, startling Miach. He looked at Hestia: "Hestia, you haven't secretly formed a Familia already, have you? How did you suddenly get so rich?"
"No, no, it's just that my children are quite capable."
Although she said that, Hestia couldn't completely suppress the smile on her lips.
