After Fina's injuries were healed the two of them finally went on their journey to find the pieces of the blade. Kyouko and Fina left the mansion in Labarnia and went to the nearby country of Rybridia. On the way they met a little girl who was also on the way to Rybridia. So decided to go there together. The little girl then asked them a question.

"What are you going to do at Rybridia Miss?"(Girl)

The two of them looked at the young girl with Pink colored hair. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. Her bright red eyes were filled with curiousity about her surroundings. She wore a white kimono and she has a kodachi strapped around her wrist. She was about 178 centemeters tall. Kyouko replied to her question and said.

"We will stay at Rybridia for a few days to look for information about something we needed to do. What about you young miss? You're still too young to travel by yourself right? My name is Kyouko Akaza what's yours miss?"(Kyouko)

"What did you just say miss? I'm way older than you think. But anyway thank you for taking me with you. My name is Yuriko Takahashi it's nice to meet you Kyouko Akaza-san"(Yuriko)

She bows down and the three of them proceeded on their journey. On the way they saw another young girl and she was being attacked by Orcs. So the three of them quickly rushed in to help her.

The Orcs had a very muscular build and their skin is color green. They had vicious fangs on their teeth and they weilded a big bronze sword.

There were two Orcs but Kyouko quickly lunged towards the Orc and She managed to pierce the Orc's lungs and thus killing it. Meanwhile Fina and Yuriko were fighting the Orc. But they can't easily approach Orcs unlike Kyouko who possessed the skill Divinity so fighting an Orc is still very dangerous for them. The Orcs possessed superhuman reflexes that are superior to humans. But Kyouko managed to kill one with ease.

"Watch out Fina-chan."(Yuriko)

The Orc quickly swung his sword towards Fina. But Yuriko suddenly pushed Fina aside and intercepted the Orc. She used her kodachi to block the Orc's attack. And she quickly countered the Orc with a kick. The Orc was sent flying with the insane amount of power in Yuriko's kick.

"What was that? You did well Yuriko-san. But how powerful are you? You just sent that orc flying. I wonder if I can fight you later. Can I Yuriko-san"(Fina)

Then the girl approached Kyouko and said.

"Um...... T, thank you for helping me out. My name is Fumiko Yasui can you please tell me what's your name?"(Fumiko)

"My name is Kyouko Akaza it's nice to meet you Fumiko Yasui-san."(Kyouko)

The little girl named Fumiko Yasui was wearing a long blue Robe that was covering her entire body. She also wore a hood to cover her face. She was about 177 centimeters tall. Kyouko was troubled by her appearance and said.

"Can I ask you a favor Fumiko Yasui-san?"(Kyouko)

"What is it Kyouko-sama"(Fumiko)

"Can you please take off your hood Fumiko-chan"(Kyouko)

"Hai?"(Fumiko)(Hai means yes in Japanese.)

Fumiko was scared at first but she decided to take off the hood. The moment she took off her hood a beautiful young girl with Silver eyes and ears of a fox was in-front of them. Her hair was tied up in a pigtail. 

"Fufufufu..... You're more beautiful than what I expected Fumiko-san."(Kyouko)

"Huuh?...... What did you just say Kyouko-san"(Fumiko)

Fumiko was suprised by kyouko's reaction. Normally people will run away when they saw her appearance. But Kyouko wws staring at her. It's not because of fear or anger. But rather it's amazement. Kyouko was amazed by Fumiko's appearance. It's rare for her to see someone who has fox eyes. In fact she wanted to meet a girl with Fox ears in real life.

"Are you a beastkin? I've always wanted to meet a beastkin in person. Anyway it's nice to meet you Fumiko-chan"(Kyouko)(Beastkin is a species of demi-humans that possessed the body of an animal and a human. They also possessed more powers than average demi-humans)

"But are you sure Kyouko-sama? I'm a demi-human so humans will not accept me on their town."(Fumiko)

"Please tell me the nearest town from our current location Fumiko-chan"(Kyouko)

"Okay let me think for a bit..... I have one. There's a town north from here named Ryuzuryu. If your looking for a town then it's the closest one."(Fumiko)

 "Thanks. Okay then let's all go to the town."(Kyouko)

"What's the matter Yuriko-san?"(Fina)

"It's nothing. Well then let's go everyone."(Yuriko)

 Yuriko was trying to stand but her legs wouldn't listen to her. So Kyouko approached her and said/

"Are you okay Yuriko-san? Are you tired? Then why don't we camp her for the night?"(Kyouko)

"No, no I'm fine. let's go. Don't worry about me I'm completely fine so let's continue our journey. I need to reach the capital now. The fate of the country is in my hands."(Yuriko)

"Fate of the country? What do you mean Yuriko-san?"(Fumiko)

Yuriko stood silent for a moment. She just stood there without any respond. Then she said.

"We have to inform the royal guard about the vampire army that are currently marching towards the capital. With their current pacing they will arrive at the capital in three days. I need to warn them or else they wouldn't know the danger that they are currently facing."(Yuriko)

Fumiko was suprised on what Yuriko just said. She decided that she should sharpen her sword for the coming battle. Kyouko smiled at them and said.

"How many soldiers does this country have Yuriko-san?"(Kyouko)

"About two hundred thousand or so. Why?"(Yuriko)

"I'll tell you on the way. But now let's focus on getting to the adventurer's guild. I need to report something there. Then let's prepare a plan on how we should aid the military of Rybridia."(Kyouko)

Who is this person? What is she talking about? Can she really help us in this upcoming battle? Anyway why am I staying here with them. If I wanted to I can leave but why do I want to come along?

These thoughts were inside of Fumiko's head. But her gentle smile gave home to the group. Everyone was motivated to help Yuriko on this problem that they are currently facing.

"Once we're at the adventurer's guild I want you Fina to look for a place to stay. But now let's start moving. Time is against us so we need to hurry."(Kyouko)

And the group begun to move and a few hours later they finally arrived at the town of Ryuzuryu. The Kyouko said.

"Can the two of you come along with Fina-chan I have something important to do at the adventurer's guild."(Kyouko)

"Sure."(Fumiko)

And Kyouko quickly ran to the adventurer's guild leaving the three behind. When she arrived she went to the receptionist counter and a young lady in her twenties greeted her and said.

"How can I help you miss?"(Receptionist)

"Can I post a request to deliver a letter to sakuragami's Royal mansion?"(Kyouko)

"Of course. But it will not be cheap. Recently vampires are attacking the town and people are hiring adventurer's everywhere and I don't think we have enough manpower to send a large group of adventurers to Sakuragami's capital Labarnia."(Receptionist)

"Then take a look at this. It's the seal of the head guild master. I have it so can you please accept my request the fate of this country is in the hands of this letter."(Kyouko)

"Let me have a look."(Receptionist)

The receptionist took the seal and examined it through the reader.(Reader is a type of scanner that analyzes the magical energy of a certain item or artifact. It can identify the creator of the item and how it's created.)

"Oh your right it's really the seal of chivalry. But where did you get this? But anyway please fill up this request sheet and once your finished please submit it here in the receptionist counter."(Receptionist)

Kyouko took the pen that's being offered by the receptionist and proceeded on filling up the sheet. After she finished filling up the sheet she submitted it to the receptionist.

"Your name is Kyouko Akaza haven't I heard that name somewhere?"(Receptionist)

"Oh right your the empress of sakuragami right? It's a pleasure to meet you Kyouko-sama"(Receptionist)(The activities of sakuragami was heard all over the world and their reputation has increase thanks to Kyouko's previous victories against the demon king's army)

"So please tell me how much will you offer as a reward to the adventurer that finished the quest?"(Receptionist)

"I guess three hundred thousand coru is enough right? And make this quest a B ranked request got it miss? Then i'll be off now"(Kyouko)

Then Kyouko handed over the letter and left the adventurer's guild and she saw Fina who was running towards her.

"Did you manage to the finish the think that you're suppose to do Kyouko-san? Did it went well?"(Fina)

She smiled at Fina and said.

"Yup everything's all right now. Anyway let's go to the inn."(Kyouko)

"Then i'll guild you Kyouko-san"(Fina)

And their quest to find the missing pieces was put on hold when the country of Rybridia faced a great disaster.
