Chapter 226 - Kaede and Konoka 2

"Your body is full of bruises and scratches Kaede," Konoka said, who immediately walked towards Kaede so she could heal the wound of the female ninja. "Here, let me heal your wound first!"

Kaede who had taken off her blindfold, was relieved that Konoka was okay as long as Konoka waited for her outside the forest while she carried out her mission against the black wyvern.

"Ah, thank you Konoka-dono," Kaede said who felt very grateful to the God, because she was thrown with Konoka into the middle of nowhere. Bcause if she was thrown alone she would probably be dead by now from the severe injuries she sustained from fighting the many monsters where she was thrown. But luckily because she was thrown together with Konoka, there was someone who could heal the wounds she got so she could stay alive until now. "Please heal my wound de gozaru."

"Okay!❤" Konoka said while activating her artifact. "Adeat! Kochi No Hiogi! Hae no Suehiro!"

The wounds on Kaede's body began to heal slowly, thanks to the power of Konoka's two artifacts. And in just a few minutes all the wounds on Kaede's body had healed completely, until they were no longer visible.

"Ooh, healed all the wounds on my body in just a few minutes. Your healing abilities have greatly improved Konoka-dono," Kaede said who was relieved that all the pain she was feeling in her body had completely disappeared. "If Shirou-Dono and Setsuna-Dono saw the development of your abilities, the two of them would definitely feel very proud of you."

"Aaah Kaede-san, don't say such things," Konoka said with a red face and while hitting Kaede's head with a hammer. "I'm so embarrassed!"

"Oouch!" Kaede shouted while holding her head which was hit by Konoka so she had to take off the black wyvern's horn that she was carrying on her shoulder.

'How did Konoka-Dono get that hammer out of the thin air? And at a speed that I can't even see with my trained eyes! Konoka-Dono sometimes looks like a gag manga character who can emerge something from the void!'

"Konoka-Dono you just healed my wound, but then you made my head lumpy," Kaede said who was holding her lumpy head. "You should stop your habit of hitting someone with a hammer if you're feeling too happy de gozaru."

"Aaah I'm sorry Kaede-san," Konoka said frantically while using her Artifact again to heal Kaede's head. "I really didn't mean to."

"Well, it doesn't really matter to me, since I'm much stronger than a normal human," Kaede said with sweat running down her cheeks. "But next time you have to be careful, because not everyone is as strong as me."

After the lump on Kaede's head disappeared, she returned carrying the black wyvern horns on her shoulders and said to Konoka:

"Let's go back to the village Konoka-Dono, we have already carried out our mission to break the horns of the black wyvern, and with this the black wyvern won't at least try to get out of its nest in the forest for a year."

In a small village on a hill surrounded by wooden fences, Konoka and Kaede are welcomed by the villagers who praise Konoka and Kaede's success in breaking the horns of the black wyvern, a level A monster who coincidentally chose to stay in the forest. Which is not far from the village.and because there wasn't a single person strong enough from the village to defeat the two black wyverns. That's why the villagers asked for help from the bounty hunter association and monster hunter association to send someone strong enough to defeat the black wyvern or at least cut the horns off the black wyvern to make the black wyvern a little scared so at least. The black wyvern didn't bother the villagers until one of its horns grew back.

"You two have done a great service to this village," The old lady who owned the inn where the two of them were staying said. "You two should take your prize money at the village head's house, it's not much, but I hope the prize money can help you both."

"Ah, but the two of us only defeated one of the two black wyverns that terrorized your village, that means our work isn't done yet and that means we both can't take the prize money de gozaru," Kaede said.

"Don't worry about that, because the other black wyvern has already been taken care of by two bounty hunters who coincidentally arrived in this village about two hours ago, so the task for the two of you had can be said to be done." The innkeeper said with a smile.

Kaede was relieved because, the other black wyvern was taken care of. That meant she and Konoka wouldn't have to fight one more black wyvern. Fighting just one, almost got hef killed, if she was forced to fight another one zhe might actually die for real. abecause even though the wounds on her body have healed but not with the amount of stamina she has.

Kaede's stamina was running low, due to fighting the black wyvern she broke her horn. It was a miracle when she was able to return to the village carrying the heavy black wyvern's horns.

"Konoka-dono, we both should go back to the inn and rest de gozaru," Kaede said. "I'm already feeling very tired, and I'm sure you feel the same way, don't you?"

When Kaede asked Konoka, the person being asked didn't answer at all. And when Kaede looked at Konoka, she could see that Konoka was gloomy. With a facial expression that seemed to say that she was thinking about something very seriously.

"Konoka-Dono why is your face look so gloomy?" Asked Kaede.

"Eh? No, I'm not gloomy or daydreaming," Konoka replied frantically. "I was just thinking about how Shirou-kun and Setsu-chan are doing!"

"You know those two are strong people right?" Kaede said. "So you don't have to worry about the two of them Konoka-Dono. Necause they are both strong enough to protect themselves de gozaru."

At the same time as Kaede was trying to cheer up Konoka, Setsuna and Asuna who coincidentally were two bounty hunters tasked with breaking the horns of another black wyvern. Walked past Konoka and Kaede, both bodies covered in wounds and their clothes were both tattered. Even Asuna's right arm looked like it was about to break, and it would break if Setsuna didn't tie it with a cloth.

Setsuna, who was in much better condition, walked next to Asuna while summoning the horns of the black wyvern on her shoulder. But Setsuna also looked a bit out of breath and could fall to the ground at any moment.

"That black wyvern really is a very powerful monster!" Asuna shouted. ."We both nearly died, just trying to cut off that black wyvern's horns!"

"We wouldn't be hurt this badly, if you didn't try to cut off the two horns of the black wyvern! Asuna-san!" shouted Setsuna who was irritated by Asuna's recklessness. "That black wyvern is a level A monster! While both of us are C level! And you're desperate to try to cut off the two horns of a level monster like that black wyvern! Have you gone mad!"

"Eeeeh but we'll get extra money by selling the other horn," Asuna said. "You know right now we are in need of a lot of money for the cost of traveling to Ostia."

When Kaede and Konoka listened to the conversation between Setsuna and Asuna, their eyes immediately turned to Setsuna and Asuna. As well as Asuna and Setsuna who were surprised when the gazes of the two accidentally turned to Konoka and Kaede.

For a few minutes, Kaede, Konoka, Asuna and Setsuna didn't say anything because the four of them were too shocked by the accidental meeting. Until finally Konoka cried while walking towards Setsuna and hugging the body of her bodyguard as well as her love rival. The meeting that Konoka has been waiting for is finally happen....
