Chapter 37 - Home

"You are good now, so go out." 

"...." Kira, Mirajane, and Lucy. 

"What's wrong? Get out now! I hate humans!" 

An older woman with long pink hair, which she tied in a bun, said those words curtly. 

While Kira was unfamiliar with this woman, Mirajane told him that this woman was Porlyusica, a member of the Fairy Tail, who was in the same generation as Makarov and also the Medical Advisor. 

If the members of Fairy Tail were hurt, instead of going to the hospital, all of them would visit Porlyusica. Her skill was undoubted, and she even gained the moniker of "Healing Mage." 

Yet, despite that skill, she hated humans and didn't like them, so she lived in this forest, which was located at the outskirts of the Magnolia Town. 

"W-Wait a moment!" Lucy, who had naturally woken up after Porlyusica entered, complained. "He was hurt before, so was he really okay? You should check him out more!" 

"He is!" Porlyusica pointed at Kira, who tried to hide something with the blanket despite how impossible it was. "If he isn't healthy, then do you think that thing can react?!" 

"...." Lucy and Mirajane. 

"Um... can you not point that thing out?" 

Kira wasn't as shameless as Gray Fullbuster, who could be naked in front of everyone. 

Yes, it was true that his lower body reacted, but could you kindly not mention that? 

If this woman treated him like this, then he might cry! 

Still, Kira wondered why his thing reacted. 

Was it because he was sexually frustrated? 

Was he tired? 

Or was it his survival instinct that told him to reproduce when he was about to meet his end? 

Or was it simply because he felt lust when Mirajane kissed him at that time? 

Letting out a helpless sigh, Kira hoped that everyone could give him some quiet time somehow. 

"Anyway, he is okay now. You don't have to worry. You can stay for a bit, but don't stay too long. I hate humans!" 

As Porlyusica said so, she closed the door of the room, but somehow, a group of people burst out and entered the room where Kira stayed. 

"Kira!!!" 

"You are okay, right?" 

"Finally, you have woken up!" 

Everyone quickly jumped one after another, feeling happy when Kira woke up. 

Only Porlyusica felt an intense anger before she held her broom and chased all of them away. 

"GET THE HELL OUT! IF YOU WANT TO MEET HIM, THEN WAIT FOR HIM TO RETURN TO THE GUILD!!!!" 

"W-Wait!" 

"Don't hit us with the broom!" 

"Let us stay for a bit!" 

Yet, Porlyusica didn't listen and chased out all of them, including Makarov, before she stared at Mirajane, Lucy, Kira, and Cana, who somehow had sneaked in. "Get the hell out of here right away!" 

Regardless, everyone knew that Kira was okay, especially when he had shown them that he could stand up and walk normally. 

"You are really okay, right?" Lucy asked worriedly. 

"Yes." Kira nodded. "I am pretty hungry, though." 

"Let's get something to eat at the guild, then." 

No one disagreed, and they planned to return to the guild when Kira had recovered, which showed Porlyusica's powerful skill. 

"Thank you, Porlyusica-san." 

Still, before Kira left, he thanked Porlyusica as he knew that if there was a reason why his body was okay, it was all due to this old woman. 

"Just don't come here if you want to thank me." 

In other words, don't get hurt. 

Tsundere, Kira thought, but this tsundere was too much, as she only "tsun (cold)" and didn't show her "dere (loving)" side. Still, if possible, he wanted to learn medical knowledge from her, so he asked, "Um, Porlyusica-san, can I learn medicine from you?" 

"You want to learn?" Porlyusica was surprised. 

No, the rest of them were also surprised. 

"Is it impossible?" 

"If you want to learn, then get the doctor's license first, so you won't waste my time." 

Kira thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I will do that." Considering Porlyusica's skill, instead of teaching an amateur without any knowledge, she would only teach those who understood the basics and had a certain foundation. After all, that way, it would be easy to tell whether he had the ability or not since if he didn't, then he would just waste her time, considering how precious it was. 

Yes, he could tell that Porlyusica wasn't a mage, and she was just a normal human. It was also because of this that she wouldn't give her skill to anyone. How could she give something that she had worked hard on her entire life to others so easily, especially one that she only knew recently? 

If Kira was in Porlysica's place, he would definitely refuse someone who wanted to steal his knowledge except for his relatives, such as his loved ones, family, or children, but as he was a member of the Fairy Tail, he believed that he could be accepted, and she would teach him. 

While it was cunning, as he had helped others and also had a good reputation in the guild, instead of fully refuting him, there was a high chance that she would accept him. 

After all, if he could learn her knowledge, he could help others; and at the same time, she wasn't young anymore. 

If Kira really had a talent and knack for this area, then even if she hated humans, he knew that she would teach him since, similar to others, she loved the Fairy Tail.

"Hmph! You are just boasting!" Still, Porlyusica was as much of a tsundere as ever, looking at him with a snort, then saying, "If you really have that ability, then show me that you can get a doctor's license!" 

"I will." Kira nodded, and then he left with the three women. 

Regardless, Cana looked at Kira weirdly and asked, "Do you want to become a doctor?" 

"Is it weird? 

"No, it strangely suits you, though." 

When they thought of him wearing a white coat as he helped his patients, looking at them with a gentle smile, somehow, they thought, this profession suited him well. 

"It's pretty unstable to become a mage, so I thought I would get another skill while I am still young." 

It was nothing when he was young, since he was full of energy, and even if the quest was located so far away; no matter where it was, he would be ready, but that was if he was young, when he was little older, he was afraid that he couldn't do that. 

Moreover, he would be lazy, especially when his energy definitely wasn't as strong as when he was young. 

Lastly, it would be a family since at this moment, as he was still single, it was okay to go on the quest that might last him for weeks or even months, but what if he had a family? 

If he just stayed how he was, he would probably be like Macao, who had a divorce with his wife since being single was definitely better for a mage, unless one was working on the Magic Council, which was similar to a civil servant. 

While Kira might not lack money now, he still needed to think about his future, so among all the jobs that would give him stability, being a doctor was his choice. 

"You..." Cana stared at him speechlessly, then rubbed her temple as she wondered about her future. "Since you have woken up, can you do another celebration and treat me to alcohol?" She needed to drink to forget all of her problems. 

"...you really never change." 

Yet, even so, Kira was quite glad since Cana was by his side, or else with Mirajane and Lucy alone, everything became so awkward. 

"But I will treat you later." 

"Really?!" 

"Yes." 

"Then, can you also help me to clear up my alcohol debts, too?" 

"..." 

Staring at Cana, who pretended to be pitiful as she leaned forward, generously letting him see her exotic, deep cleavage to make him happy, Kira took a deep breath before he looked away, running away. 

"Wait a moment! Please! Help me to clean up my debt, Kira! I-I don't have any money, and there are no good quests in the guild!" 

Still ignoring Cana's pleas, Kira entered the headquarters of Fairy Tail, and—

"WELCOME BACK!" 

"I AM BACK!" 

This place was already his home now.
