"I never thought I'd come back."

"I felt like you were still awake."

"Would you mind running some errands?"

Lekan talked about the exchange at the Lords' Mansion in disguise.

"Whoa, whoa, do it. You've grown a lot too."

"Thanks to your advice."

"It's nice to have properly explained to your lord about Eda and made him promise protection. I'm sorry I couldn't help it. It's a good way to get a lord on your side first."

"I was worried if I was happy with that, so I was relieved to hear you say that. But how believable is the lord?"

"It's the same wherever you go. The lord here is decent."

"Right."

"Heh. The wind's changed a lot."

"My lord knows that I have Purification, so who can I purify from now on?

"Wait a minute. How does that happen?"

"Eda. Your kind heart is your treasure. But every time I look at a sick person or an injured person, I put on a" recovery "or a" purification ", which is a hell of a thing. If you want to put a healing or purification on someone, ask Lekan first."

"Okay."

"While we're at it, we'll see what we can do."

It was evening when I got home.

While Edda was making dinner, Lekan practiced (acceleration).

I thought something was about to grab me.

The next morning, Rekan took Edda to visit Norma.

"Right. Have you told the lord the truth about Edda? I think that's a good thing. One piece of advice from me."

"Let's hear it."

"I think sooner or later, the nobles and powerful people of the town will know that Eda has a purification. But I'd rather not talk to you about having it."

"Hmm."

"In other words, Eda has an excellent (recovery), not more. I don't think that position should be swayed"

"Very well. Edda, you got it?

"Yep. You mean you shouldn't use Purification after all?

"It's not, Edda. I just want you to protect two things."

"That's two. Okay. What?

"First of all, casting the spell of [Purification] is only to be done when you are diving into the labyrinth with Lecan or before Mr. Sheila or Lecan or me. Never cast a purification spell before there are others."

"Yeah. Okay."

"And in your case, I think even if you activate magic with a" recovery "spell, it can naturally become" purified "depending on the person's medical condition and others. At that time, even if he asks if it's" purification ", he insists it's" recovery ". I can't use Purification."

"I can't use" Purification ". All you use is" Heal. ""

"That's right. That's fine. Lecan, by the way."

"Yeah?"

"As we have previously met, I have told you and anyone who has said that they would like to receive Eda's" recovery "that there are no plans to resume it and that if it does, it will be a price of one gold coin"

"Oh."

"But there are people who still want to take the money, even if they ask."

"Ho."

When it comes to a single piece of gold, it is the daily allowance of a single bricklayer.

Naturally, a person who wants to receive only one (recovery) after paying one gold coin cannot be a commoner.

"I tell you not to get me wrong, about half of them are people who are not necessarily rich. Still trying to pay for old parents, sick children"

"Lekan, I want you to heal."

"Oh."

This desire to save someone suffering from illness or injury is Eda's trait, and I can't tell you not to have that feeling, and even if I do, I won't lose that feeling. Lecan thought it was a strange thing, though he himself would not have been a privileged birth.

"Recan. This could be your chance"

"Yeah?"

"We already know in other houses that Mr. Zepus is dead. Rumors are also circulating that it is not a disease or death on par. It is also known that there seemed to be a commotion at the Goncourt family the night Mr. Zeps died. I heard all kinds of rumors at the office too."

"I see. I guess that's right"

"You and Edda will be golden adventurers. And the fact that you are labyrinth trespassers will soon be widely known."

"It won't matter to the general public, no matter what the adventurers do to each other."

"No, no, no. What do you think the lord called you for, explained and asked you to understand? The story of two labyrinth trespassers becoming gold-class adventurers in this town reaches every corner of town."

"Right. That's what happened."

"You will be the heroes and patron saints of the town. Now, what happens if Edda finds out she has an advanced" recovery "when that happens?

"I don't know. What's gonna happen?

"If even the Goncourt family's heirs are about to lose their lives because of the abduction of Edda, who is a senior (recovery) holder and possibly even a (purification) holder, it has this unlikely deterrent effect on the aristocrats and the powerful in this town"

"Mmm."

Can you live without knowing that birds can fly around? That's not something you can hide through, and as long as the bird is a bird, you can't stop having wings.

It is impossible for Eda to have an excellent (recovery) as long as she continues to live somewhere more than to some extent and is completely unknown around her.

If so, Norma is right.

"If you use" recovery "under Norma, it will be known in the town that Eda has excellent" recovery ". But that doesn't necessarily connect with the fact that the oldest son of the Goncourt family was murdered to take it?

"I wonder if the lords will spread rumors to the aristocrats and the powerful."

"What?"

"I'll protect Edda as long as I'm in this town. Towards the aristocracy and the powerful. Yes, the lord said so, didn't he?

Come to think of it, you're right. There's not much a lord can do from himself to protect Edda. It may be said that it is almost certain that Norma will take such a way as he guessed.

"I see. Eda."

"Yeah."

"You, follow Norma's instructions and call the sick."

"Yeah. I want to"

"Right. Okay. Norma."

"Something."

"When do we start?

"Sooner is better. Just tomorrow is the visiting day, so why don't you accompany me tomorrow for now?"

"Are you going to be visiting?

"I intend to put the person who [recovers] on a serious patient who cannot be treated in any other way. Naturally, I will be visiting. If you continue to recover here, you will know too much about recovery."

"I see. Wait. Tomorrow I'm going to the Gorbulls."

"You better not be accompanied."

"What?"

"You don't have to accompany me. Make room for Edda. It's better for Edda eventually."

Just because you're worried, you can't always stick around. Besides, next year, I'll be breaking up with Edda. Sometimes I come to see what I can do.

If you're worried about Edda and escort her, fine then, but you don't know what happens when she's gone from beside you. So you'd better stay away from Edda while she glances at you. Surely Norma is right.

"You're right. Regards."

Zinger was listening in silence in the corner of the room.

There is no loosening in that look.

I guess I've decided my mind.

(This man is not willing to report Edda to the Marquis anymore)

That's what Lecan looked like.
