Episode 22.9-10 (1/2)
Lecan had lunch at a dining room adjoined to the Adventurer's Association's building.
Aira came by and took a seat next to him.
”Are these magic courses a regular thing?”
”Nope, this is the first time we're holding one. The Royal Capital's Magic Society proposed this to us.”
”Is this Magic Society an influential organization?”
”I wonder about that. I know it's been around for a long time at least. But.”
Aira brought her lips close to Lecan's ear and whispered.
”The Royal Sorcery Society is apparently the more authoritative organization of the two.”
”There's another organization huh.”
”Well to be honest, our Association itself is wondering why they're doing this course. But since we'd never get another chance like this, might as well.”
”I guess so.”
”More importantly, Lecan-san, so really you can use magic.”
”Hm?”
”The big one-eyed man who cast <Recovery> at medic Norma's clinic people have been talking about is Lecan-san, right?”
'So you really can use magic'.
Those words signifies that she suspected Lecan could use magic but she didn't know for sure that it was true.
But could the Adventurer's Association of Town of Vouka really be in the dark about Lecan's usage of magic.
He had used <Recovery> and <Flame Spear> in the presence of Vandam and Zeki.
He also cast several magic when he rescued Eda from Goncourt Mansion. So did he at the temple.
Hence, he was sure that the Association would naturally know about the fact as well.
However that didn't seem to be the case. Vandam and Zeki kept their knowledge of Lecan's ability to themselves. Might be the so-called <Moral Code amongst Adventurers>.
The matter at Goncourt Mansion probably did not get circulated in details. Or perhaps, the little tidbits never got transmitted to the menial workers there.
As for the temple's stuff, the temple itself probably did something to prevent news getting spread.
Lecan isn't going out of his way to hide his magic, but there is no adventurer alive who would go around telling people their ability. Since the rumors were spread from his activities with Norma, Lecan decided to affirm that part.
”Yea. I was training under Norma in medical treatment.”
”Oh, so you did then. <Willard> is amazing. Can't believe it's got two members who can use <Recovery>.”
Lecan spooned his food in his mouth without replying back.
”We've got sooo many people asking to take on quests together with Eda-san, or join her party here at the Association, you know.”
Rumor about Eda being a higher than mid-ranked <Recovery> user must have spread among the adventurers after the matter with Gyom. Not surprising they'd try to get Eda join them.
”Hou.”
”But many of them gave up once they found out she's in the same party as Nike-san and Lecan-san.”
”I see.”
”Even so, there were still lots of people who called out to Eda-san whenever she was hanging around here at the association.”
Since she was using 'were', there must be none now.
”But then, when the fact that Lecan-san was the <Overlord in Black> who conquered Dungeon Golbul twice got known, those people just up and gone.”
”I see.”
”Lecan-san, you got acquainted with Eda-san at this town, didn't you?”
”No. We worked on an escort job together on the way here.”
”Ah, I had no idea. But, Eda-san was solo at first, right?”
”Right.”
”That's so nice. She's got Lecan-san to protect her.”
”Really.”
”And you conquered Dungeon Ninae too, together with Eda-san.”
”Yea, we did.”
”I mean Eda-san is cute after all.”
”Hm?”
”Lecan-san, and Eda-san are both gold rank adventurers. Both of you went so far away so quickly.”
