Chapter 240 - Visiting the Dian Cecht Familia

A few hours later…

At 2:30 p.m. that afternoon, while Renjiro—who had only officially just met Welf—was rampaging through the Dungeon's Middle Floors together with Aether, furiously grinding monsters for magic stones and letting Keqing soak up some experience along the way…

On the other side, after sharing a delicious lunch with Riveria and the others, Lumine headed out together with Tione, Tiona, Lefiya… and Ais, arriving at the sanatorium operated by the Dian Cecht Familia, located within District Eight.

At this very moment, the massive pure-white building was already packed to the brim.

As the captain of the Dian Cecht Familia, Miss Airmid—whose current Falna Level was only Lv.2—was rushing back and forth inside.

She issued instructions and guidance to the other healers while personally casting healing magic to save adventurers with severe injuries whenever necessary.

Just then—

"Miss Airmi~d, help!"

"Captain Monroe, you have to hold on!"

Standing at the entrance, Lumine and the four others quickly stepped aside, making room for the adventurers who rushed into the sanatorium in a panic.

"Move him to that bed. I'll handle it myself."

Miss Airmid remained calm. She raised her hand and pointed in a direction, then immediately continued dealing with the injuries at hand.

Her experienced eyes had already judged which patient was in critical condition and which one absolutely could not be delayed any longer.

And those adventurers… were clearly not here for the first time. No one complained.

At the very least, most of them were reasonable people.

Miss Airmid worked swiftly. After finishing with the current patient, she immediately hurried over to the next.

She only took a single deep breath to steady her heart rate—there was no time to rest at all.

Yet clearly… judging by her orderly, high-efficiency workflow, she was already long accustomed to scenes like this.

No wonder the title "Dea Saint" carries such weight.

This was Lumine's subconscious impression when she saw Miss Airmid, for the first time not as the signboard beauty of the neighboring pharmacy, but as Orario's strongest healer, tending to a large number of wounded adventurers.

The silver-haired, waist-length-haired ice beauty wore no visible emotion on her calm face, yet she still gave others a strong sense of reassurance and reliability.

At that moment—

"Amid, we brought you some new good stuff~"

"We'll wait next door (the pharmacy), yeah?"

"Once you're done, come over quickly."

Tione was already well acquainted with the ice beauty, and her tone was far more casual.

"Got it."

From not far away, the woman in question responded briefly and continued casting magic.

Lumine followed Tione and the others outside.

In truth, Lumine had the ability to instantly heal every wounded person inside the sanatorium—but… stepping in to interfere when the other side was perfectly capable of handling it themselves would have been painfully low emotional intelligence.

An excessive desire to show off was also a personality flaw.

Of course, if a true emergency arose, that would be a different matter entirely.

In any case—

"Amid really is as busy as ever."

With Tiona's sigh, the group entered the neighboring pharmacy.

The shop's attendant—a signboard girl—merely smiled faintly as a greeting.

She clearly recognized Tione and Lefiya and the others… after all, they were frequent suppliers who came here to talk business.

However, for deals that involved spending tens of millions of valis at a time, she had no authority to decide.

It was best to wait for the captain (Airmid) to personally handle it.

And so, with nothing else to do while waiting, the group began chatting idly about various topics.

Among them—

"Miss Airmid and Miss Barbara may have very different personalities, but they're both admirable—and incredibly powerful—healers."

As the only Loki Familia member present who had personally been to the border frontier and witnessed the battlefield firsthand, Lefiya had seen a certain Hydro Archon shine brilliantly with her own eyes.

Back then, she had even been personally saved by Barbara's healing magic, barely surviving.

With that background, such heartfelt admiration was hardly surprising.

Following that topic—

"I heard that the Genshin from another world can even regenerate severed limbs?"

Tione looked at Lumine and asked curiously, "Is it really that unbelievable?"

"Yes."

For abilities that had already been openly displayed, Lumine had long discussed this with Renjiro (the main body), and both agreed there was no need for excessive concealment.

So—

"Barbara, as a Hydro-element Genshin, is also a famous idol in her own world…"

Lumine paused briefly, then continued, "You've all heard her sing during the Lantern Rite before, right?"

"In short, Barbara can invoke various miracles through her singing."

"And limb regeneration is one of them."

After hearing this explanation—

"That's practically all-powerful~"

Those who had personally experienced couldn't help but marvel.

Indeed, among everyone present, aside from Lefiya—who had not suffered much psychological trauma or loss in the past—just a few weeks ago…

Tiona, Tione, and Ais had all seen the people they once cherished most.

Especially Ais.

It was the only time she recalled her parents—who had been taken by the Black Dragon—without feeling sorrow.

That overwhelming warmth and happiness was something she could never forget.

She had once believed she would never feel it again.

Precisely because they had personally experienced such a miracle, Tione and the others instinctively gave it the highest possible praise—all-powerful.

At that moment—

"If given the chance, I would very much like to meet Miss Barbara in person."

The door to the pharmacy opened, and the ice beauty who had just entered spoke as she joined the conversation.

She looked at Lumine. Though the curve of her lips was subtle, it was clearly a smile.

"It's been a while, Miss Lumine."

Hearing this—

"Huh? Amid, you're done already?"

Before Lumine could respond, Tione spoke familiarly. "What about the sanatorium—?"

"The critically injured patients are all out of danger. The rest can be handled by Dorlier and the others."

Amid replied calmly. "Besides, I can't keep guests waiting for too long."

"Well, if you say it's fine, then it's fine."

Tione didn't press further. She simply lifted the cloth bundle she had been carrying the entire way.

"Then how about we check the goods first?"

"During this expedition, we got our hands on some top-quality Unicorn Horns again~"

"How about ten million valis?"

The hot-tempered big sister revealed a sly grin—merchant mode, long unseen, fully activated.
