201-195 Request

The first time I flew, I wanted to hope for a blue sky, but I thought the sky with the moon shining in it was quite an odd thing to do, and I landed on the main street before my magic power was exhausted.

It was the middle of the night, so there were few people on the street, and thanks to the light leaking from the shops and houses, I didn't end up landing on anyone.

The most you could see, but it wasn't that obvious... "Did it fall from the sky, shining down? It wasn't like, "Hey, isn't that Holy Change-sama?

Smiling at the residents, I decided to run to the Adventurer's Guild.

As I entered the Adventurer's Guild, which is open 24 hours a day, many adventurers looked back at me.

And when they spotted me, one by one, they rushed over to me, one by one, but since there was no hostility that I felt in the knight's guild, I didn't have any awareness of running away.

''Holy Hen-sama, you're safe?''

'The priest-knights from the church came to me and told me that if you came here, I should catch you and bring you to the church, but I was honestly pissed off, so now I'm tucking in the underground arena.

''Saint Hen-sama, I heard that you can't use holy attribute magic anymore... if that's true, then you can come and explore with us.

Don't pull the trigger. Our party is short on guards. That whirlwind disciple will be no problem.

For some reason, I was in a welcoming mood, but it seems the adventurers are still on my side, even with the church's hand in the air.

That makes me strangely happy and makes my heart feel holier than ever.

Granz-san, the master of the adventurers' guild in the Holy City, heard the adventurers' commotion and came over.

''First of all, I'm glad to see you're in good spirits.''

Mr. Glantz laughed and told me so.

'Yes, I got caught up in some rumours and conspiracies and almost got captured, so I ran away from the church.

'I see. There was another idiot here who ordered us to capture him... but Luciel, is the rumor of that divine punishment true?　What do you think?

Rather than being angry, they were probably worried about me, and with that word, the area went quiet at once.

The adventurers also seemed to be quietly waiting for my answer.

''God's punishment.......well, not punishment, but a divine test?　In the meantime, we'll get over that and come back to this mess.

When I responded with an answer that didn't seem to be an answer, Granz-san asked a question that went a step further.

''If you survived that divine ordeal, was it still just a rumor that the healers would disappear or that holy attribute magic would no longer be available?

'Yes. Area high heels for proof.

I chanted Area High Heels with the chant discard so everyone could hear, and the injured adventurers' wounds glowed, and in an instant, their injuries disappeared.

On the contrary, they made a bit of a fuss about their back pain disappearing, or their cavities disappearing.

'Keep it quiet for a moment, you guys. Luciel, you're getting more powerful than before.

Mr. Glantz seemed happy and tapped me on the shoulder, and for some reason, he was surrounded by adventurers, and a strange turn of events was waiting for me to be thrown up in the air.

After that, in the blink of an eye, we moved to the dining room, and the welcome party began.

I was worried about the pursuers, but since I could manage to just escape, I decided to take advantage of everyone's kindness.

'So why is the church so eager to catch him when it's a rumor?

You know what?　It's just that the order to capture him may have made it impossible for him to retract.

That's the devil's advocate for chopping off merit, isn't it?

'Yes. I'm surprised by that too. There's no material to deny the rumors, so I guess the church has decided that the S-class healers were muddying the waters and that the church's image won't be tarnished...''

Then the anger swells up from the front and around me.

I guess they have a thing for the church, not me.

'Oh, I forgot to mention something important. In case there's some truth in the rumors, my job isn't to be a healer anymore.

...or did you become a holy knight?

Why is it that getting attention is so terribly tantalizing?

With a wry smile, I decided to announce my new job.

''Since I cleared the divine trial, I've come to the sage. Well, as usual, I can only use holy attribute magic.

What!!!!

I couldn't help but laugh at the practiced humming of the song.

Then everyone got excited and happy as if it was their own.

''........the church knows best what kind of guy Luciel is......why would they believe such a rumor and issue a capture order?''

Miss Glantz nodded her head in agreement.

You know what?　The Pope was bemoaning this, but now that the executive branch was working independently, it seemed that the information wasn't getting to the Pope.

'It sucks in so many ways that the top brass don't know what's important. Don't you have any allies?

'The only one who was neutral to ally is the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad. The rest were very hostile, or rather, the hostility was great. Well, when I used the Holy Attribute Magic, I realized that the rumors were just rumors, and the hostility suddenly turned into feelings of awe, I think.

'Right. So you're stopping by here for a reason, aren't you?

Grants-san apparently asked me if I had other aims, but that wasn't really the case.

So I decided to submit a request, thinking that if I had so many allies at any rate, there would be people who would accept my request.

''That's right. I wanted to know what you all thought of me through the rumors, and since I've found out enough about it, I'll make the request this time.''

The tough-looking adventurer laughs, somewhat embarrassed, just as I tell him that.

'What?　I suppose you could do most things, couldn't you?

Mr. Glantz seemed to find that funny, too, and chuckled and asked me what it was about.

''I don't need to catch the source of this rumor and whoever spread the rumor, so please gather the information. The reward is ten white gold coins, divided according to the importance of the information, and the rest should be divided equally among all participants.

Hey! There's too many of them. And all the participants what are you really after?

The somewhat peering gaze was not in the welcoming mood it had been in earlier.

''The church will want to cover up this matter, but if it comes to light that he has become a wise man and not a divine punishment, they will have no choice but to lift the capture order.

I see. You're not going to be able to unleash your pursuers openly. Because if you have orders to capture them, like this one, their movements will be restricted.

'Well, that's what I mean. And I don't want you to mention that it's not a divine punishment, but that you're in the middle of a conspiracy while being tested by God. That way, I'm sure there will be more people willing to cooperate with me.

I'll take care of that. I hate people who owe me things.

When Glantz-san said that, the adventurers behind us each agreed and called out to me.

I asked them about the safety of their masters, which I couldn't hear about in the church while I held out the white gold coins for the request fee.

''Also, I've been wondering if you know anything about the rumors about Master and Lionel and the others that I've heard?''

'It's rumoured that the Guildmaster of Melatni would take the lead in mentoring young adventurers on the ground.

Well, even if I tried to forcibly capture him with my rumors, I'm sure Garba-san and Gurga-san would be protecting my master.

But if you believe the rumors and Master is a master, you could say that he's going to take my place.

Assuming that the rumor spread to other countries half a month ago, I decided to check to see when the rumor spread here, just in case.

'I'm relieved to hear that. By the way, do you remember when the rumors started to appear?

Yeah. That was about a month ago. Even though there were rumors going around, most of the guys were passing it off as a rumor, and if the rumors were true, they were even excited about making Luciel a great adventurer.

I guess the Adventurer's Guild is more my home than the Healer's Guild after all.

With this word from me, the cafeteria in the guild got very excited again, and Granz-san dropped a bomb here.

''Then you should quit the Healer's Guild and aim for the SSS rank in the Adventurer's Guild, Holy Change Sage.

I want to live in peace--!

However, the adventurers ignore me and start discussing what Gruntz-san said about the Sage of the Holy Change, tilting their heads in the air.

''There's something wrong with Goro, isn't there?''

Sure. But isn't it still weird that you're a sage and can only use holy attribute magic?

It's funny because one thing after another, good stuff keeps rolling in.

'I didn't expect you to be a wise man. And you're being chased by the church, that's on a different scale.

With such conversations whispering in the background, I decided to finalize the request with Mr. Glantz.

Please, I hope I don't get a weird street name.
