"So, after all, Natasha is a real Natalia, and somehow she's being chased by an imposter?"

Natasha says her real name is Natalia.

Originally, he was not an aristocrat, but an ordinary civilian, but at one point he became a adopted daughter of the duke's family and was given the profession of nobleman.

Rhine and Loot seemed to be friends when they were civilians.

As a condition of being adopted by the duke, Natasha received permission once a week to leave the city where she lived.

Therefore, Natasha was working as an adventurer with three people on the line and route once a week.

One day, when Natasha returned from the city, there was a woman at home who looked exactly like her.

The Duke's house was disrupted by the presence of two of the same people, but Natasha, who was here, was assumed to be an impostor and locked away from the Mansion.

The maid who was escaping the mansion with Natasha couldn't even hear that Natasha was the real Natalia.

And it seems that the maid freed Natasha, who was about to be tortured, at her own risk.

"I know what happened, but why did you run into the labyrinth?"

"This is a labyrinth that only adventurers can enter, so I thought that people from the Duke's house would not be able to follow me, but I want a monster that is only in this labyrinth."

Monster?

It's a monster called Doppelganger. It's a monster that looks like a specific person.

Could it be that Natasha is also the doppelganger?

"... that's not true. Doppelgänger is a monster that imitates even memories, but it can't accumulate memories for a long time. Such monsters cannot impersonate others for a long time.”

The inability to accumulate memories for a long time means that forgetting is extremely terrible, to put it plainly. I don't know how long a long memory is, but if it's half a day, I've forgotten all the events that happened more than half a day ago.

It may be misleading at first, but it must be tough.

"... we're looking for an item called the Eye of Truth, which is dropped by Doppelganger."

With the Truth Eyes, they could erase the phantoms around them.

However, disposable tools are very expensive and not readily available.

It seems that their goal was to defeat Doppelganger in this labyrinth and get the eyes of truth.

It's quite a nonsense, but I'm sure it would have taken years to accomplish.

And I was wondering why Natasha was treated like an imposter.

Miri says.

Certainly, even if the imposter is completely impersonated, I don't know why this Natasha is treated as an imposter unilaterally.

Was there a way to identify the real and the imposter?

"... that's because somehow my profession was taken away from me."

"Occupation?"

"... yes, I had a special occupation, but it was taken away and the imposter was able to use the skills that came with it."

"What profession?"

"... I am the Holy Maiden"

The Holy Maiden?

Is it a female-only profession?

"... more than a saintly maiden..."

"Is there something wrong with the Holy Maiden?"

"Saintess is a very rare profession that rivals heroes, popes, and demons." Simply put, it is an expert profession of recovery magic, and depending on the times, it has a higher status than the king of one country... but the most important problem is that since about 500 years ago, the saintly lady should have been managed by the church for generations. In the same way that royalty increases or decreases their status depending on the happiness of the people, it is a rule that a holy lady must be raised to a high level in the church to enhance her power as a holy lady, because the gratitude of the person who helped her leads to her ability improvement. "

Wow, that's an amazing profession.

Even though it is a saintly lady, it is probably a female-only occupation, and a very rare occupation is probably the kind of occupation that Carlo was born into.

But as a professional collector, I want to get a job.

Miri-sama, but according to Natasha-san's story--

"Yes, she was at the duke's house, not at the church. Maybe the Duke's house, or this country, has her power. The Saintess is a very good user of healing magic even at the basic stage...."

"... I think it's probably your adoptive father." My adoptive father... he's an ambitious man. "

I see, I know what's going on.

How was it on your side?

"Oh, Natasha's not lying."

"... will you believe me?"

Certainly, it's a story without a surprise.

However, I am certain that she is an aristocrat.

And, uh...

"I have a skill called Thought Trace." With the skill of photographing the emotions of the subject to myself... the painful feeling came through, but there was no guilt of lying or of trying to deceive you. I'm sorry I used it without permission. "

It's a copy cat skill, but it's pretty helpful.

I thought she was sorry without permission, but in fact, she could really be a fake law girl, so I let her use it without permission.

Honestly, it was pretty hard for me, too, because her hard feelings were squeezing my chest.

"Do you have that kind of skill... Ichinojo-san, who are you?"

"I... well, I don't care about me."

I almost said I was just unemployed.

"I have an idea of how to deprive myself of my profession and how to impersonate others. There is a jewel that takes the job away from others and makes it yours, and there is a bracelet that can impersonate others called a change bracelet."

Once upon a time, a man who was a demonic magician used it to disguise himself as a cleaner and spread the curse.

At that time, I had a lot of trouble.

Sometimes Hal turned into Carlo (grown-up ver).

"It's possible that the duke is also a fake daughter and a guru." I'm here, can you call Carlo? "

"Yeah, I got it."

I used a vassal summon to call Caro.

Yes, Ichino-sama, what can I do for Carlo?

Root was surprised when Carlo showed up.

Well, this world seems like a kind of summoning magic or an ultra-exciting rare skill.

I explained the situation to Carlo.

“So, me and Carlo are going to gather information.”

"Please."

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

Miri said that and took Caro's hand and chanted "Escape" and escaped the labyrinth.

Even space magic--

You're getting too surprised to get used to it.

Well, that's the ship we boarded.

We need to keep these three strong to a certain extent.

"Now, let's go find Doppelganger." Before I do that, can you all blindfold me? "

Why?

Well, you can't be honest with me, can you?

"I'll call in another buddy, but if they see me, I'll be a bad buddy." I'll have her set up the party. "

Huh?

"Hal, please."

Yes.

Hal took out the cloth and blindfolded the three of them.

Meanwhile, I summoned Lulina.

I handed over the magic tags and registered these three to my party.
