152-146 S-class healer Le Ciel

As I finally caught Melatoni in sight, my tension gradually increased.

Normally, it wouldn't be this high, but Forenoire's health was failing and I was currently in the carriage.

Lionel is leading the way as an escort, and Kefin and Ketty are in the governor's seat, but they don't speak a word.

Esther kept looking down to avoid looking out and only reacted when I spoke to her, but she couldn't catch the conversation.

It wouldn't be my fault for being happy to put an end to this strange atmosphere.

As the gates were approaching, Lionel was responding to the situation, but it was slowly getting noisy outside.

'What's going on?'

'An impostor passing in the name of Master Luciel just came through.

..........

I get out of the carriage in silence and call out to the gate guard.

''Hello. I'm going to the Healer's Guild and the Adventurer's Guild now, you can come with me. ''Yes!　I'll walk the streets once in a while.

Estia was worried, but when she got out of the carriage, she looked better, so she decided to keep walking.

After putting the carriage away and putting the horses into the hermit's stables, I decided to walk to the Healer's Guild, presenting my S-class card for the Healer's Guild, just in case.

''Luciel-sama, please heal me again.

I need you to teach the healers a few things.

'Call me if you're coming back. I'll get you some clothes this time.

"Luciel, can you drink again?

There's a new restaurant opening.

Whenever they see me, everyone in the city of Meratni calls out to me.

It's nice to be welcomed like this.

Until recently, I felt like I was being treated like a boil, so it makes me happy.

The gatekeeper's face has changed from blue to white since a while ago, but he doesn't care and walks on.

Kefin has no choice but to ask the gatekeeper for information about my impostor, but I'm more than happy to be able to walk around and see the streets.

I enjoyed seeing the city, which seemed to have gradually grown in size, using all manner of magical architecture and even dwarven additions.

However, I couldn't help but feel better about myself, so I decided to head to the Healer's Guild first.

If possible, I wanted someone like Krull-san, who was very pushy, to blow this atmosphere out of the water.

''Luciel-sama, it's that one. The one that entered the city of Yenis in Luciel-sama's name just now.

If you look at it, it was a wonderfully decorated carriage.

''It's a gorgeous carriage. Well, I guess it could be the same name, so let's go inside the Healer's Guild for now.''

""What."

I smiled at everyone and Lionel and the others smiled mischievously.

I could sense that things were returning to their usual atmosphere.

Apparently, the owner of the carriage that blocked the road did a good job.

If this is the case, can we tolerate him cheating on his name?

Do you think there are people in the carriage?

There are three of them, including you.

What do you want to do?

I decided to leave it up to the three of us.

''Let's see what they're going to do with Luciel-sama's name and what they're going to do with it...''

"I'm looking at Lady Luciel and Lionel.

Ketty and Kefin charged into the carriage.

'What the hell were you thinking putting a carriage in a place like this, Nya?

Hey, what would you do if you got hurt?

I almost gushed, but endured, as I watched the two of them perform the role of B-movie beaten ups who were completely blowing their innuendoes.

A woman and a man in the coach opened their mouths.

''The beastliness! The man riding in this carriage is Master Luciel, the S-class healer. If the beast is making a scene, do you need to punish it?

A man comes down from the gohja seat and tries to draw his sword, but he looks like nothing more than a thug.

''Haha~ That's why I don't like barbaric beasts. I'm sure Luciel-sama will forgive me because he has a big heart. You should be ashamed of your stupidity and go home.

What is it? It's very frustrating.

Is this humanism?

'Lionel, do these things happen everywhere?'

'You have. It was a long time ago, but I remember slaying some of them who were doing the same thing.

Even if you don't include the fact that you're your own follower, you'd be pissed off if they looked down on you that much.

Well, since it was Ketty and the others who set it up this time, I'm not going to intervene.

You're right. I mean, we need to figure out what the hell it is that they're pretending to be me. In my own little corner of the world, my own home away from home.

I was approaching him, and he stopped me.

'We have some witnesses here, so let's just watch a little longer.

Apparently the body was trying to act honestly.

Lionel was calm and helpful.

'Is this atonement for dropping a bomb on those two?

Yes. For some reason, he seemed to be in a hurry at the time.

Maybe it was the effect of the dark vibrations.

I decided to ask him about it the next time the dark spirits came out.

''Alright. Just in case, Lionel, be on the lookout for anyone who might have joined the Healer's Guild.

Yes, sir.

They looked like they were having a lot of fun, though I could clearly see the heat gradually building up as I broke off the conversation and looked ahead.

'They make a good pair,'

Yes, sir.

The gate guard was shaking next to us as we stood on the high ground.

Shortly thereafter, the man who drew his sword slashed the kefin.

Then the woman won in front of Keti.

Hey.

..........

What are you just standing there for? Did this cat get rusted by your sword?

When the woman turned her eyes to Ketty, the figure had already been scraped off.

'You've escaped you're in the way of this corpse.

The man leans over to the woman to lean against her.

'Don't get a bit carried away,'

The man who shifted to the side hit the ground as it was.

''What?''

The next moment, Ketty's sword entered the base of her neck from behind and the woman passed out.

'I've never had that in my life,'

''S-class healer-sama's bodyguard is a small fry?''

Hey, boy in there, move the carriage.

A man came down, perhaps no longer able to withstand the provocation of the two men.

''You guys are pretty strong, aren't you? Are you the new adventurers of this city? You mean, if we're going to show off our power, we want to be my followers?

What came out was a tall, hirsute man.

''If he hadn't worked out, he certainly might have looked like him... but why is he so confident?''

''Well we're similar in height and hair color, but we have different faces, and you used to try to fool your name with Melatonis.

Me and Lionel were indeed surprised at the nerve.

I didn't wonder how they thought they wouldn't be found out by that.

'If it's a scam, you'd gather information better than that...'

I was starting to get a headache, but it was starting to get noisy and people were starting to gather around me.

'So why do you park your carriage here, Nya?

"Because you are my S-ranked healer. Of course you know my name, don't you?

No, I don't know.

''This is why we don't want beastly beastmen. I am Luciel, the S-class healer.

He proudly identified himself as such.

''Well there's a lot of twists and turns, like a subtle difference. Still, you can't be an S-class healer, though.

Do you want us to let them catch him?

'No, I'm going over there too. Lionel, make sure you don't miss anything that comes out of the Healer's Guild.

Ha!

"Let's go with you, Gatekeeper.

Yes, sir.

As we approached, Ketty and Kefin's excitement took over, and they took a vassal's bow to me.

'What?' Are you the man who disciplines these beasts? Who do you think I am, an S-grade healer? Your beast did this to my follower. I would have had his head cut off immediately, but I'm so broad-minded, I'm willing to give you ten white gold pieces to take care of him.

'I see. If so, let's take the pledge.

A pledge?

Do you swear to God?

Of course I know. I know, of course I do. I'm asking what you are swearing to do.

"Prove that you are a Class S healer. If you do so, I will pay you ten pieces of white gold in exchange. However, if it's not official and you are lying, you will pay for all the sins you have committed by deceiving me for the rest of your life.

Hmm. Very well. But to think you have ten platinum coins in your possession Jara.

I've got it right here. Now swear to it.

All right. If you are not my S-grade healer, you will pay for your sins.

He swore in a loud voice.

'Yes. Then I've left the rest to you, okay?

'Ha. I'm sorry about this.

What the f*ck are you doing?

Luciel, it is a pleasure to meet you, Master Luciel. I am Luciel, an S-Class Healer belonging to the Church Headquarters of St. Schuler's Cooperative Kingdom. I'm the only S-Class healer in the world.

The crowd around me grew noisy with cheers for me and a wild shout for him calling himself Luciere.

'Nah, the real thing!

Yes, sir. I'm sure your friends will be interrogated with you later. So don't worry, you're gonna get caught.

Thus, the man hung his head with a gulp and was seized by the soldiers who rushed in to support him and transported to the filling station.

'I didn't expect an impostor of Luciel-sama to appear.

'You're already famous for having your name fooled, Master Luciel.

'I hope you're famous for good things, but I'm not happy about being cheated on.

The mood has improved and my smile is back.

Now we can chuck the name deception and get them to pay for their deception.

This would allow me to focus on Lionel and Master Brod's mock battle.

That's when Estia spoke unusually to me.

''Luciel-sama is very popular in this city, isn't he?

'Really? I hope you're right. After all, this city is like a second home to me.

...I'm jealous.

I hope Estia, who is smiling but seems somehow lonely, can find a base somewhere.

With that in mind, I moved into the Healer's Guild and saw a man wrapped in a circle and Krull-san stomping on it.

I managed to twist out a greeting, feeling my face twitch with too much shock.

'Hello Mr. Krull. Can I come back later if you're busy?

'What? It's not Mr. Luciel. Maybe this is the man.

That's the fellow Luciel. We captured him just now.

Good. I'm going to take care of this for a little while, okay? Ho-ho-ho.

Mr. Krull lifted the man up and walked out of the Healer's Guild.

'Who is that woman?'

'I'm supposed to be the guild master here... but who is he?'

Lionel's question could only be answered by me, and although we had fulfilled our original purpose of putting on our usual airs, for some reason it didn't clear up, we ended up waiting in the Healer's Guild's break room.
