Black Eagle’s Saint~ The Expelled Healer Masters Dark Magic from His Spare Magic Powers

It was after lunch, when the sun was still high.

It was a time when I had moved all morning and was even feeling a little sleepy from the fact that it was after dinner.

It would be nice to be taken by Janet and relax with a light drink - just as I was thinking that.

'I want to talk to you about what happened at the brave party,'

Janet's words are enough to make me open my slumbering eyelids.

The word is so abrupt that even Emmy is surprised by it. Sybilla is ...... loosening her mouth a bit.

What, did you expect this to happen?　Or did they have some kind of a workout? ...... It's possible, this guy would.

I ask Janet again.

'Really, you're sure you want to do this?'

Emmy looks at me for a moment and then turns to Janet with a worried look on her face.

Janet took a sip of the herbal tea at hand and took a breath.

'Probably fine. Even if it wasn't okay, then I don't think it would have been better not to say it. In that case, I decided that it would be better to say it. If it increases the probability of being right, I should probably choose the one that does.

That was a very Janet-like answer.

--a slightly higher chance of being correct.

At that time, the words that didn't recognize Emmy as real ...... probably still have some kind of heartbreak that makes it hard to trust yourself.

However, healing mental wounds with recovery magic is just a kind of mental manipulation. I'm rather glad I don't have that kind of ability.

If possible, I'd rather it be me and Emmy's flesh and blood voice or actions or the result of solving a problem that heals it.

Anyway.

Thank you for deciding to say it. I'm sorry to be so quick, but I'd like you to say as much as you can. I know the woman, Katie, is a point of contention, but in the end, how did Janet perceive the danger from her soliloquy, and .......

...... Vince, right?

The name spoken by Janet.

A childhood friend. The one who brought me into the fold. The best friend I grew up with.

The brave one who banned me.

The one who blustered over the weaker ones. The frivolous guy who made a pass at Janet the day after I missed an Emmy shot.

It's not that I don't have ...... thoughts. But I'll think about that later.

The key is how that Vince has changed.

Meeting my gaze, Janet nodded.

Next, Janet turned her gaze to Emmy.

''First of all, a heavy warrior-type [magic swordsman] came in after Emmy left the group. A woman with semi-long orange hair and breasts on the same level as Katie's.

...... Are you kidding me?

'As long as my perception isn't skewed, you're right. You said you were alone (solo) in Adria: ......, but like Katie, Aria was definitely not a solo beauty.

Mr. Aria: "Mr. Aria: ......

...... The more I hear about it, the more I can't help but be surprised.

Certainly if a guy is that prominent, it's impossible not to know about him and it's impossible not to hear about him.

But this Katie and Aria guy has been a solo adventurer for a long time, and no one knows it.

'Do Katie and Aria know each other?'

Yes.

Where have you been?

...... That's very astute of you.

Janet, of course, has an idea there, too.

Emmy, on the other hand, twisted her head.

'What?　Huh?　What's so funny?

'Katie, and Aria. They're both beautiful women on a level that would be strange if they didn't absolutely have a rumor about each other, yet I've never heard of them at all. What are the odds that two people like that know each other? Are people in Adria blind?

Oh.

Emmy seems to have noticed Janet's point.

So ...... it's absolutely impossible for two such people not to have a rumor with two(ish) people(ish).

There are two possibilities. The first is the laughable idea that he was in disguise. The story will leak out from the receptionist of the Adria Adventurers Guild when they see my face, and I don't think I can hide it.

I thought about that for a second.

I'm glad I didn't say that.

"The other thing is--

The words Janet presented were such an extreme idea that she would rather be in disguise.

''--memory manipulation, cognitive inhibition, etc., are magic or skills of interfering with others.

Too much of an outlandish idea. That's the kind of thing that makes me laugh about memory manipulation.

But ...... perhaps that's how Janet came to think of it.

Here's why Janet is overly afraid of Katie, I'm sure.

And then I remembered to latch on to the word that just came to me ...... and it came to me right away.

Memory manipulation.

I wondered if he didn't think Emmy was real in the first place because he felt it was a possibility that he received it.

Then it all makes sense.

...... Oh dear, it seems he's a more troublesome opponent than I thought.

Let's get Janet to share as much information as she can.
