Keeper of Medicine
(Captain) and company are resting on the deck of the Grandcypher when Lyria brings over a box that reads "Skydome Temple sweet bean jelly." After devouring the snack, the crew are surprised by Bhaisa's sudden appearance on their ship. Bhaisa tells them that the sweet bean jelly was an advance payment for her request: to gather gemstones with her at a particular island.
After completing a few small requests, (Captain) and company are back on their ship, sailing quietly across the sky.
They stand outside on the deck, enjoying the precious free time that they have.
Vyrn: Whew, finally! Some time to catch our breaths.
Vyrn: We haven't got any requests lined up for the next while, so we should rest and recharge while we can...
Vyrn: Hm? What's that?
(Captain) turns to see Lyria cheerfully climbing up the stairs to the deck, holding a wooden box in her arms.
Lyria: Huff, huff...
Vyrn! (Captain)!
Vyrn! (Captain)!
Lyria: I was looking in the galley for something sweet to eat. That's when I found this box that was delivered to us...
Vyrn: That's a fancy-lookin' box. Where's it from?
Lyria: Let's see, it says here... "Skydome Temple sweet bean jelly."
Vyrn: The Skydome Temple? Does that mean...
Lyria: Oh, there's a message inside. It reads...
"Have some during your break. No need to hold back. - Bhaisa"
"Have some during your break. No need to hold back. - Bhaisa"
Vyrn: I thought so. What crazy timing, huh?
Lyria: On the underside of the lid, it says: "Fine treats made from meticulous kneading—a tradition that was cultivated through an extensive history."
Vyrn: Gulp... Okay, now I'm curious...
Vyrn: Speakin' of which, I still don't really get Bhaisa.
Vyrn: I know she's the Keeper of Medicine and one of the Thirteen Buddhas... but I have no idea if she's scary or nice. Her personality's a total enigma.
Lyria: Yeah... She's a pretty mysterious person, isn't she?
Lyria: She's kind when you talk to her, but somehow I also get that feeling that she can read my mind... Ehehe.
Vyrn: Exactly. It's like she knows everything that's goin' on with us and in our heads...
Lyria: Hmm. I wonder if she really does have some sort of power...
Still in thought, Lyria opens the box to see rows of sweet bean jelly wrapped in exquisite packaging.
Vyrn: Ooh, looks delicious!
Lyria: Wow, it does!
Let's give them a try, (Captain)!
Let's give them a try, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Mmm! It's crazy good!
Lyria: This is amazing! Bhaisa has impeccable taste!
Lyria: I've heard that desserts made from red bean are actually good for the body! Less to worry about healthwise!
???: Hehe.
???: I simply wanted to give you a taste of what I enjoy myself.
When the crew turn toward the voice, they see Bhaisa standing on the deck next to them.
Vyrn: Whoa! Where'd you come from?
Lyria: Bhaisa! How long have you been there for?
Bhaisa: What do you mean? I've been here with you all this time.
Bhaisa: Do you like the sweet bean jelly?
Vyrn: U-um, yeah... It's great! Thanks for that!
Bhaisa: Oh, it's nothing...
Vyrn: But don't just get on the ship without tellin' us, okay?
Bhaisa: Don't worry too much about it. I'm not bothered one bit.
Vyrn: But we're bothered by it!
With the power of flight, Bhaisa is able to board the Grandcypher at will—as she seems to have done a few times already.
Lyria: What brings you here today, Bhaisa?
Bhaisa: Actually, I'm on vacation right now. I'm thinking of allotting some time for my hobbies, you see.
Vyrn: Hobbies?
Bhaisa: The Grandcypher works perfectly for me. With so many brawny members in your crew, I'm sure digging holes would be a simple task for them.
Lyria: Digging... holes?
Bhaisa: I'll get to the point. I'd like you to help me find a certain gem.
Vyrn: Huh? What kind of gem?
Bhaisa: My hobby's collecting gemstones. I gather various different gems and like to admire them.
Bhaisa: There's a gem I want on a particular island, and I'll need help digging it up.
Vyrn: Oh, so this is a request.
Lyria: Come to think of it, you use a gemstone for your attacks, don't you?
The Nexus Labyrinth Dharma—a dimension that catches those who stray from the Astral Realm.
(Captain) and company once set foot into this dimension together with the Divine Generals as part of a request.
That was when the crew first witnessed the intense strength of Bhaisa's attacks.
Bhaisa: I project the gem by waking the light stored within and channeling power into it.
Bhaisa: But my request this time is purely for personal interest. I am on vacation, after all.
Bhaisa: Will you accept my request?
Bhaisa: I thought you would agree to this, (Captain).
Vyrn: Wha... Are you sure, (Captain)?
Bhaisa: You've already received the advance payment, in any case.
Lyria: Huh! We're not going to help?
Bhaisa: I must've misheard...
Bhaisa: Seeing as you've already accepted the advance payment.

Vyrn: Advance payment?
Bhaisa nudges the now empty box of sweet bean jelly.
Vyrn: What! That was it?
Bhaisa: As you can probably tell from its packaging, Skydome Temple's sweet bean jelly isn't cheap.
Only the wrapping paper, message card, and wooden box remain, its contents having long disappeared into the crew's stomachs.
Bhaisa: It's a deal, then.
Bhaisa: Now, if you'd kindly change course. Our destination shouldn't be too far from here.
Vyrn: Already makin' yourself at home, huh...
The crew are speechless as they stare at Bhaisa, who is nonchalantly settling into her new place of stay.
Left without a choice, (Captain) and company accept Bhaisa's request to look for a certain gemstone.
