203-197 A compromised heart




 After contacting his master, he was now going to contact the Adventurer's Guild in Yenis with the magic ball.
 It was only about thirty minutes later that Granz was able to contact them with a meditative reminder.
 I've been thinking about the content of the request I would submit to the Adventurer's Guild until I could make contact with them, leaving that to Granz-san.

 I'm sure Garba-san would have already explored the information I wanted and Gruger-san would have made me confess.
 It seemed like the right choice to ask all of the adventurers to spread only the information about me turning from a healer to a wise man, and only tell them that the divine punishment was a false alarm.
 However, until the information is spread, there will probably be some pursuers, so it would be better to show everyone a pose to explore the church, as well as guidance.
 That would give them time to try to hide the information and maybe buy them a little time to check the other side's way out.

 What do you want to do with the church? Master had told me that I should decide all this time, that's what he said.
 

 To be honest, when I was asked what I wanted to do, and I thought again about why I had to be in conflict with the church when I should have been a member of the church organization in the first place, I immediately realized something.
 It was that I only knew part of the church organization.

 Thinking about it, I had spent all my time training in the Adventurer's Guild after learning Holy Attribute Magic in the Healer's Guild of Meratoni.
 After coming to the church headquarters in the Holy City, I trudged through the Labyrinth of Trials and drafted guidelines and bills, studied how to run the Healer's Guild and the Healing Institute in Meratni, and then headed to Yenis.
 So the only work I was involved in was in regards to the Healer's Guild and the Healers, and I had never been involved in any other church organization.

 Well, even if you don't know the organization, there's no doubt that there was a palm strike that could have put your life in danger, so you have to be very careful about that.
 

 At that time, Granz-san started muttering again, and it seemed that he had been able to contact the Adventurer's Guild in Yenis, so I reached for my magic ball.
''I see. Then the rumor about Luciel-sama was still false news? I thought that only the one who has the dragon blessing would not be punished by God.''
 This voice sounded like the Guild Master, Lord Gyas.
''So the rumors were already circulating then?''
 Mr. Glantz asked me about the rumors.
''Yes. The other day, the rumor started to circulate, but no one believed it. I have to inform the public about this, but a wise man?
 I don't want that to happen. And that's when I was about to ask Mr. Gruntz to help me have a conversation too.
He must have been training to not use the holy attributes only for perverts anyway. ''Wahahaha,''
 So Mr. Glantz was about to tell me that I was going to remind him too, but Gaius-dono covered me and started talking about me.
 To talk bad about me at the time I was completely covered, he must have the god of laughter possessed by him.
 I decided to greet him exactly as I was able to telepathically talk to him.
'I'm sorry, I'm a pervert. You look good, by the way, Jaius-dono. Are you also in good health, Jasun-dono?
"Lu, Lu, Master Luciel? Well, what I just said is not a bad word, but a tribute to Luciel who has become a wise man who has never been tested by God. We, the dragon brothers, are always doing well.''
 My voice seemed to get through to him on the teleconference, and his tone completely turned into a military underling.
 As expected, I don't have the energy to play around with it, so I decide to keep this matter warm until we meet next time and continue the conversation.
'I know, I know. What I was worried about in Yenis was Lionel and the others, as well as the school I founded and the factory that serves as my property.
'There is no problem about it at all. It's not a problem at all, because thanks to Luciel-sama and Galba-dono, it's been proven that evil will definitely be destroyed. Besides, there is no one to say a bad word about the Luciel Chamber of Commerce, which has taken on the employment of this country equally and single-handedly.
 Are you in charge of it? I'd been away from Yenis for less than a year and I was too scared to ask what was going on.
''So you don't have a problem with security then?'' 
''Yes. Until now, we have only been able to get along with other races who are close to each other, but we are starting to see each other's superiority, and it's becoming very safe. It's all thanks to the Luciel Chamber of Commerce and the school.''
'Well, how are the Healer's Guild members doing?'
'I heard that you received a written order from the church headquarters, but they said it was some kind of conspiracy and destroyed the order. Some people have started families here, so I don't think it's a problem.'
...you know a lot about this.
It's a very good idea to have a mock battle with Lionel-dono and spend half of your week in the special healing zone. There are even bets on who will win these days, and I'm at a loss. Hahaha.''
 It looks like a lot of fun for that.
 I'm sure they'll be building an arena or something soon.
 I'm glad that Yenis seems to be having fun.
''Lord Jasuan, actually the reason I contacted you this time is because I was able to tell Lionel and the others what I wanted you to tell them.
Yes, sir?
'Could you tell Lionel and the others to come to the city of Meratoni, as this rumor may cause a bit of trouble with some of the churches? As well as the wise man thing.
"It's an easy call. I'll go tell him right away.
So it's nice to meet you.
 But there was no answer already.

I'm afraid you've lost it.
I'm afraid so. Well, for what it's worth, I'm relieved to see that Yenis is okay.
 Mr. Glantz took his hand away from the demon ball and took a drink before opening his mouth.
''At the moment, only the church headquarters is in a state where you've become the enemy?
I don't know. I'm starting to wonder if my trust was ever built in the church in the first place.
 I've been at the church for three years, but we didn't have much interaction.

''So ... so you're going to sleep for the night and then go?''
No, the moon's out, so I'll be on my way.
So what do you want to do for a living?
I'll be sure to buy you a good meal next time.
 With an affectionate smile on his face, he decided to leave, as it wouldn't do to have his pursuers come to him.

'Definitely come back,'
'Of course. But first, here's the request form.
 Mr. Glantz received the request form and began to read it, and immediately handed back nine white gold coins.

"This request will be worth the change.
It's a boring business.
The Adventurer's Guild is about honing and improving each other and carrying out our requests. It's not a place to take alms, and that kind of person isn't an adventurer... and I don't think he's an adventurer.
 The fact that he didn't say it outright showed the character of Mr. Glantz.

''I understand. I'll take your word for it.''
Oh. Can I get you out of town?
No. It's all right in this darkness. Now, if you'll excuse me.
Come on, Luciel, you can do it.
Yes, sir.
 I got up from the counter seat and turned on my heel, and the adventurers were there waiting for me with big smiles on their faces.

''........What's going on, everyone?''
 Then a female swordsman, on behalf of the group, replies.
''I've made some new street names for Saint Hen-sama, and if you like them, I'd like your permission to use them.
''Well then, I haven't even allowed the street name of Holy Change...''
'If you care about the details, you'll go bald in the future, even though it's just a lot of heartache. Well then, the first one is.....
 I want to live with my hair for a long time, so I push it away.
 When I had alopecia areata in a previous life, I was so shocked that I was forced to take one day off with pay.
 I don't want to go through that again.
 

 More importantly.........
''Is there more than one eye?''
There are three in total. The first is The Wise Man Who Strikes Back.
 The name was out of the blue, but it's moderately cool.
 However, I'm very concerned about the fact that in a counterattack, the assumption is that you will always be attacked.
 It's said that a name represents a body.

The second one is "Holy (attribute bound, transformed sage).
 Huh? There was an obvious pause between the saint and the one, or was it my imagination? But I'm in awe of you calling yourself a saint.
 Well, it's better than Holy Change.........

''There's a third one.
 Just as I was about to ask the third, a priest-knight appeared in a ragged state.

 I could sense hostility from them as well, but it was not directed at me, but at the adventurers around me.
 They must be the knights who were laid to rest in the basement.
 They were young and I had never seen them before.
 The adventurers were staring at me, and as expected, I was frightened, and since I had nothing against them, I decided to help them.

'What can I do for you?'
 In response to my voice, the two of them began to speak at the entrance of the cafeteria.
''S-class healer Luciel-sama has been ordered to capture you.
I'm sorry, but would you please return to the church with us?
 They were apologetic and told him their business.
 They were somewhat relieved to find out that there were people like them who had doubts about their capture, but were still working under orders.

''Is it a good thing that the charges are that you are no longer a healer due to divine punishment and you can't use holy attribute magic?''
Ha, that's what we've been instructed to do, sir.
''It's already been more than two months since the rumors started, so I'm sure it's time to stop hiding in the clouds...''
 I don't know their faces, but they seemed to know me, so they must have met each other somewhere.
 It's impossible to know everything, but I wanted to try to clear up their misunderstandings by approaching them, so I decided to use the Holy Attribute Magic.

''First of all, I can use Holy Attribute Magic.''
 As I finger-patted and activated my middle heel without a chant, the two of them rapidly healed their wounds.
 The two priest knights were astonished at me using Holy Attribute Magic, and they propped themselves up on one knee on the spot and uttered an apology.
''I'm sorry.''
'If you've got orders, I don't blame you. I'm just sorry, but I'm afraid you're going to have to let me off the hook here. I had to catch the one who tried to set me up. And I'm no longer a healer, I'm a wise man.
 They looked at each other in surprise, then nodded to each other before opening their mouths at the same time.
''Awed,''
We will tell our colleagues that Master Luciel can use holy magic.
I'm sure Master Luciel will be able to clear up any misunderstandings that may arise.
 They hung their heads reverently.

 I decided to think about what I wanted to do with the church first, based on Galba's information, since there were people in the church who would believe me.
 Considering the time they were being held, they might get suspicious and get some support, so I'll just leave.
''Well then, ladies and gentlemen, I'll see you all.
 After I told him that, I was leaving the Adventurer's Guild.
