CH.97 Telling what happened

I was still sitting down, drinking with Lua, when Zay came to me and asked me to come to the guild master’s room. I almost wish I could have just had lunch before this, but what are you gonna do?

“Take a seat.” Both the ex-master and Zay were in the room.

I did as instructed and sat opposite to the ex-master. Lua had also come with me, just to make sure my story was correct. Zay was standing next to the ex-master.

“Now, would you tell me what exactly you did during the rescue operation?” The ex-master asked.

“What part of it? Or do you just want the abridged version?” I asked.

“Just the highlights will do. Then I’ll ask some questions.” He answered.

“Sure. We flew for a while, then I noticed lightning and headed towards it, we found the thunder sprites attacking Zay’s group, I had my summons take down the sprites, we landed and made contact with Zay, we healed people with magic and then headed home on the mechanical horse that you saw.” I told him.

“And that is all?” He asked.

“Basically yes.” I answered.

“What about the part where you resurrected someone?” He asked.

“I don’t recall something like that happening.” I said to him. Technically it wasn’t me. I didn’t activate the card, so it’s not my fault.

“I see. If that is how you want it, I’ll make sure the adventurer’s don’t speak. But you need to see to it that the baron doesn’t make a report about it.” The ex-master said.

“What about the Bakula company?” Lua asked.

“I can deal with them as well.” The ex-master said.

“Thank you.” I thanked the ex-master. “But now that we are talking about it. Zay, why did you not resurrect Rico?”

The ex-master turned to face Zay as well. I think he is looking at Zay with suspicion.

“Zayaan? Want to comment on that?” He asked.

(He most likely won’t. He got healed quickly after the incident.) Laura told me.

Well, that’s good. Actually, shouldn’t healing magic be able to heal things like that even after a while?

(No. If your body accepts that state as the ‘natural’ state using healing magic to heal it becomes much more difficult.) Laura specified.

So something like changing the default state. But shouldn’t the body's default state be complete?

Christina had called a carriage for us, so we didn’t need to walk in the rain.

When we made it back to the manor, the servants had gathered to welcome their master home. I finally got an idea of how many servants lived in this house. I counted a total of seven maids. Nicole, Jenna, the maid that woke me up a couple of times, two other younger maids that were probably in their early 20s and two older maids that were likely in their mid 30s. There was also a man I assume is the chef. And gardener, or something like that. A total of nine servants. I guess with Henry it would be ten.

“Welcome home, Father.” Alice welcomed her father back with a fake looking smile. It felt forced compared to the ones I see on her face.

“I’m home. I hope you’ve been keeping up your studies while I was gone.” Brandon said.

“Of course I have.” Alice told her father.

“That’s my girl.” Brandon said as he gave a little headpat to Alice.

... is that normal for Brandon? Perhaps it is.

I spent the rest of the day telling Alice about how I saved everyone from the thunder sprites. She was a little disappointed that she didn’t get to see my white dragon fight. She also demanded I summon St. Joan so she can see her and I obliged.

In the end, she said she wanted to become a magic swordswoman. I told her that it would be even more difficult than just using magic, but I’m not positive it got through to her. Then again, I don’t know what skills Alice has, so she might already have some swordsman skills. Perhaps she can become a Dark Paladin.

(Laura, make sure you wake me up as soon as my pack tokens come.)

(Of course, Master.)

This is what I decided to do. I don’t know the exact time that Rico died, but if I get a Monster Reborn with tomorrow's packs, there is still a chance. I’ll at least try to get another one.

With that, I went to sleep.
