I, Narcena, couldn't hide my surprise at Lalma-san's action of suddenly kicking out her brother.
In any case, I knew this man's meanness to the point of disgust, and I knew that's why he wasn't changing his opinion out of concern for me.
However, I decided to stop thinking about the real reason why Laruma-san had kept her brother away from her.

After all, I had more on my mind than that.

'What do you mean by your brother being Larma-san's disciple?'

I recall that Mr. Larma once told me about his only disciple.
She had trained him for a short period of time with her former party mates.
And that the apprentice was a man of righteous character and had been transferring money to him regularly for several years.

To that extent, I wouldn't have been surprised if your brother was Larma-san's apprentice, either.
Your brother said he was trained by the two adventurers, and I wouldn't be surprised if your brother would send you money regularly from his small reserves.
...... But one word that Mr. Larma clearly told him denied the possibility that his brother was Mr. Larma's apprentice.

''Because before, Mr. Larma had said that his disciples were only talented enough to be second-rate at best.

Larma-san had clearly said that his disciple was not talented at all.
...... It wasn't that he didn't have any talent as a healer, either, but he clearly declared that his apprentice did not have any talent as an adventurer.

But there was no way he could believe that he didn't have talent when he saw his brother now.

It's true that your brother can only use the Heal as a healer, but as an adventurer, he has top-notch skills.
There is no way that such a person would not have the ability to be an adventurer.

But that doesn't mean that Laruma-san, who is a top-notch adventurer, made a mistake, or it's hard to imagine that.
Regardless of what Ralma-san says and does in her daily life, her ability and discernment are unmistakable.
There couldn't be a good reason for such a person to tell you clearly that you have no talent.

You can't believe that your brother has no talent as an adventurer. You're trying to trick me again anyway, right?

So I decide that it is a lie that your brother is the only disciple of Mr. Larma.
There are mysteries about your brother's attempts to deceive me, and how he got in touch with me, but I've decided that this is the most likely to be the case.

'No, I'm not lying. At least a few years ago, when I was training him, he was nothing more than a wunderkind who couldn't be used against that idiot disciple.

......... Huh?

...... But my prediction was easily dismissed by Ms. Larma.
Furthermore, Larma-san has a very amused smile on her face and opens her mouth.

It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're talking about. A few years ago, even if you fired from the front, he wasn't even able to react. How can he get that much strength?

The next thing that came out of Ms. Larma's mouth were excited, heated words.
I know that Rarma's attitude is one of delight and amusement from the bottom of her heart.

And it is because of this attitude of Ms. Larma's that I finally understand.

...... Really, your brother was Larma's disciple, and Larma thought your brother had no talent.
And that Mr. Larma also doesn't understand why your brother has the ridiculous ability he has today.

'Narsena, you were partying with that guy, weren't you? Then teach that guy how to fight.

'......... I understand. But if you find out anything, please let me know.

So after a bit of distress, I decided to talk about your brother's battle as Larma-san asked me to.
I couldn't suppress my curiosity as to why your brother told me that Larma-san had no talent and yet he had so much power: ......





◇ ◇ ◇.





Then I told Larma-san in as much detail as possible about the battle so far.
The defensive ability to easily channel even the Hydra's attacks, the ability to use elementary magic despite being a healer.
In addition, the breadth of knowledge about demonic beasts, the extraordinary power of healing magic, the ability to disarm traps and the ability to search for enemies.

All of this, Larma-san listened to it all with interest.

''...... I see that's what you mean.''

And after hearing everything, Larma-san told him that as if she realized something and smiled.
A satisfied smile that was a little different from the joyful smile she had just given.

''That guy said that he got his power thanks to me, but isn't the power I raised a tiny amount of ...... stupid disciple?

Larma-san smiling that way looked somewhat sad and yet happy, and I gasped for breath.
Then for a little while, I couldn't talk to Larma-san.
I felt that the current Laruma-san is not the usual adventurer, but has the expression of a proper master, and I was hesitant to talk to him.

But I could not restrain my curiosity as to what Mr. Lalma had realized by my talk, and I opened my mouth.

'Well, what did you learn?'

Hmm? Oh, come to think of it, you said you'd teach me.

At my words, Larma-san, who came back to herself, gave me a look as if she was proud of her child.

''That idiot apprentice, Laust, doesn't have the talent to be an adventurer under normal circumstances.

What about .........?

......, but what Larma told me with such a look on her face was something I never expected to hear.
I was convinced that there would be an affirmative word, so I couldn't hide my astonishment at Laluma-san's words.
I couldn't help but wonder why I could say that my brother didn't have any talent even after hearing that story, I said to Ralma.

But Larma-san's words aren't finished yet. ......

But now he's as good as any of us top-notch adventurers.

............ Huh?

...... The next moment, I was stunned, not understanding the meaning of the words Larma had told me.
