[Azure kingdom]

After the extermination of the core for the demonic beast wave located within snow peak mountain, every member involved in the operation then returned back to the capital which were then caused an uproar to its inhabitants. To be exact due to the state of every member in the operation, every angels, archangels, and present human citizens in the capital, were shock on how the team fared on the operation itself.

Upon receiving the news that the team had successfully exterminated the core, Michael then took the lead as he plans to welcome the return of their queen from the successful operation despite being simply a clone of her majesty. Never did he expect that upon the teams arrival, they would see them in a rather tired state of body both mentally and physically.

From the team's state alone, Michael then had a conjecture that something unexpected and happened within the operation. Of course this caused some small rumors in the kingdom regarding a possible threat below the human surface.

Alongside the rumor wherein the queen and the whole extermination team were truly battered down by an enemy on the surface, there were also rumors regarding a formidable foe on the human surface due to the movement of the angels. Mobilization of the army, Often operation of the archangel Gabriel, sudden absence of Michael and Sandalphon for 3 days, unexpected 400 refugees, and lastly the critical state of both Michael and Sandalphon upon returning back to the castle.

All of such rumors naturally didn't escape the ears of some informant and representatives of the four kingdoms of the middle continent situated in the representative house of the capital. If such notable people caught wind of the activities and rumor of the Azure kingdom, there were naturally some people with ill intention spying within the vicinity acting as a regular citizen and passing off such information to their backer. Of course the story regarding the inner spies in the kingdom is another story itself and will be tackled in the further future.

After the operation, the clone avatar then finally dematerialized into nothingness as Asagi's consciousness returned back to her original body sitting on the throne. As Asagi safely returned, the rest of the group specifically Uriel, Ariel, Amos, Leon, and Irish were then directed towards the infirmary of the castle in order to check their well being.

 Among the five, the most injured one is both Ariel and Uriel who spend most of the time fighting off against the white demon up close, on the other hand the most critical among them is Leon himself. Since Leon is a human and doesn't have a mana body, his body composition is naturally frail in comparison to other species body. Plus since he literally tanked a few blows from the white demon with his human body, problems in his body naturally showed up as a result from the battle.

Bone fracture on the arm, legs, and ribs, muscle sore all throughout his body, and slight damage to his spine due to crashing impact, all of these naturally pop up once his body has been examined. With such analysis, he is advised to take a month break from any combat and heavy activity as he was also advised to quickly schedule a medical attention in some pharmaceutical department in other kingdom in the middle continent.

After all if left unattended, Leon could die if his lungs got accidentally punctured due to a rib fracture. In order to avoid having such an accident, a surgical operation is required. No healing magic could fix the problem. The only other way aside from surgical operation is by the use of regeneration magic, however such user of magic is hard to find due to its rarity of skills. Take note the white demon's blow was strong enough to actually crack down an archangel's body in one clean hit, through this it only depict how impactful was the white demon's strength.

With that the rest of the day then passed by in a blink of an eye, as the li8ves of everyone in the kingdom continuous on.

*********

The very next day while Asagi was currently conversing with David and Darius the head master of the adventurer's guild in the kingdom, Lloyd then entered the room as he bowed down to every adult in the room before stating his business.

"Asagi onee-sama! A lady named Katarina Atkinson and her father Bruce Atkinson had arrived and wished to talk to you regarding the matter of the pharmaceutical business"

"...They're here? when did they arrive?"

"Just this morning onee-sama"

"...Where are they currently?"

"They are in the hall behind the door Asagi onee-sama"

Hearing Lloyd's answer, Asagi then slowly nodded as he ordered Lloyd away.

"Alright! Send them to the reception room, also tell your sister to send some warm tea and coffee to the room"

"U-understood Asagi onee-sama"

Under Asagi's order, Lloyd then left the room as he did what he was ordered and led the guest to the reception room of the castle. Once he left Asagi then turned towards both David and Darius as she proposed to reschedule their talk.

"Lets talk about this matter at another time, i really didn't expect visitors this day"

"I understand... Your a ruler, your bound to busy with important business" said by Darius

"As you wish your majesty!" replied by David

As she heard their answer, Asagi then simply nodded her head as she watched them out of the room. After that she then headed to her own room as she changed her clothes into a white white blouse, black slim pants which completely shape off her thighs, and a black boots. Not too formal and not too casual attire, a perfect balance. Alongside it, Asagi also pulled up her hair as she tied it at the back to form a pony tail, in this moment a pony tailed Asagi is born.

After arranging herself, she then headed over towards the reception room which was currently occupied by her soon to be partners in business. The moment she entered Asagi saw Katarina in a khaki colored long sleeved dress with her hair curled down, not too gaudy but quite enough for a casual conversation needs. Her father on the other hand is currently wearing a brown suite on top of brown vest, red necktie, and white polo long sleeved shirt, alongside his brown pants and dark brown shoes. Quite in a formal but business like attire.

Just like what Asagi intended, they too wore the clothes that is comfortable for them to talk business.

The moment Asagi entered the room, both the father and daughter stoiod up and greeted the queen of the kingdom.

"Greetings your majesty!" said by Bruce

"Quite awhile hasn't it your majesty?" asked by Katarina

"Indeed! Please sit down"

Under her words, all three of them sat on their respective chair as they begun their talk.

"So how are you faring?" asked by Asagi

"Quite fine your majesty! however i didn't expect for such climate to be true, i didn't expect for your words to be the actual truth... I thought you were just blabbering nonsense back at the party" said by Katarina as she was shocked by the freezing temperature of the northern continent

"Indeed! even i couldn't believe it... Its like i travelled to another dimension... the contrast of the temperature of my domain to this place is like heaven and earth... I really didn't know such a place exist" added by Bruce

"Well its only natural... after all we are currently not in the middle continent" said by Asagi

"... Based on what you told me, your kingdom is currently in the northern continent... meaning this place is the location of the northern continent itself" said by Katarina

"Pretty much, it isn't that hard to identify it at all"

In that moment Anna then came in with a tray of tea and hot coffee for everyone in the room, after she laid them all out, she then left the room as the vicinity turned quiet for a few moments. After that the first one to indulge themselves for a warm drink in this cold weather is Katarina herself.

"Aside from the situation of the northern continent, your kingdom is truly something else... I've never seen a capital and castle as white as this... plus your halls are so big that i think it could fit in a whole giant inside, truly this is something else" said by Katarina

"I see... then I'm glad your enjoying yourself" replied by Asagi

"Alright starting the partnership, were here about the issue regarding the establishment of a pharmaceutical business in your kingdom... I believe that your willing to fund us in that regard?" asked by Bruce

"As a partner... well yeah! i can carry the burden of cost alongside you" answered by Asagi

"... That's great to hear..." muttered by Bruce

At that Asagi then rose up her hand as she then posed them a challenge.

"Before that, i want to confirm something..."

"???"

"As the people who plans to establish a pharmaceutical business in my country, can you prove to me your legitimacy by stating out your knowledge regarding medicine or other various medical aspect?"

Hearing such challenge, Bruce was then first to speak up.

"We have a medicine called Asp, also called acetylsalicylic acid, derivative of salicylic acid that is a mild nonnarcotic analgesic (pain reliever) useful in the relief of headache and muscle and joint aches. Asp is effective in reducing fever, inflammation, and swelling and thus has been used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, and mild infection. In these instances, asp generally acts on the symptoms of disease and does not modify or shorten the duration of a disease"

"I see... the same as Aspirin back on earth" muttered by Asagi

"Also we have Vac,  a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vac typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future. Vac can be prophylactic (to prevent or ameliorate the effects of a future infection by a natural or "wild" pathogen), or therapeutic (to fight a disease that has already occurred, such as cancer). Some vac offer full sterilizing immunity, in which infection is prevented completely" said by Katarina

Hearing her description of Vac, Asagi the couldn't help but imagine it similarly to vaccines of earth. After that she then asked something in regard to surgical operation.

"Anyway... do your pharmaceutics do surgical operation?"

Hearing her question, both the father and daughter looked at each other before replying back.

"Well our business do have a surgical operation room means... do you want to include such facility to the creation of the pharmaceutics?" asks by Bruce

"Maybe... after all you never know when such facility maybe needed" answered by Asagi

After that she then asked.

"Then how do you treat a bone fracture?"

As if thinking that the queen were testing them, Bruce then answered.

"A fracture is a broken bone, there are many things that must be taken in consideration. The person is unresponsive, isn't breathing or isn't moving then begin CPR if there's no breathing or heartbeat, There is heavy bleeding, Even gentle pressure or movement causes pain, The limb or joint appears deformed, The bone has pierced the skin, The extremity of the injured arm or leg, such as a toe or finger, is numb or bluish at the tip, You suspect a bone is broken in the neck, head or back"

"..."

"In order to treat it you don't move the person except if necessary to avoid further injury. Apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean cloth or a clean piece of clothing.  Don't try to realign the bone or push a bone that's sticking out back in. If you've been trained in how to splint and professional help isn't readily available, apply a splint to the area above and below the fracture sites. Padding the splints can help reduce discomfort. Don't apply ice directly to the skin. Wrap the ice in a towel, piece of cloth or some other material. If the person feels faint or is breathing in short, rapid breaths, lay the person down with the head slightly lower than the trunk and, if possible, elevate the legs"

"..."

This are all summary features of treating a person as first aid and haven't been gone to an operation yet. Once a professional arrives, then let the professional do his thing as he operate on the patient"

"I don't know if that is actually accurate.... but i think you have the gist of it" said by Asagi

With that their talk continued on.
