Act 2: Chapter 32: Magic City's S-Rank Adventurer

After the duel, Pomera healed several onlookers who got sent flying along with Alfred with her healing magic.

「《Heal》」

Magic circle appeared as soon as Pomera finished her aria, the body of the person who stood in front of her was wrapped in white light.

「OOOH! MY BODY FEELS LIGHTER THAN BEFORE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!」Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

「N-No... Pomera just...」

Pomera showed a complex look on her face when she received such words of gratitude.

... By the way, since the tip of Pomera’s cane was broken when she hit Alfred with her cane, her cane was fixed together with tape.

Since it is just a stop-gap measure, let’s use some money from our subjugation rewards to fix her cane after we receive the reward.

The people around us were praising Pomera.

「She defeated that annoying adventurer like twisting the arm a baby’s arm!」

「Just what was happening in that fight? I saw that battle but honestly I have no idea what was happening back then at all. I only remember Alfred being sent flying after he got hit by cane.」

The more they talked, the gloomier Pomera’s face became and the lower her shoulders drooped.

「Oioi, didn’t you see that fluid magic? That last attack must be using a item that controls wind.」

It reached the point where I heard such a statement.

I see, the last attack was regarded as wind magic by using an item, huh.

「... Uhm, thanks, Pomera-san.」

「AS EXPECTED OF POMERA! AMAZING! STRONK!」

When I called out to Pomera, Philia praised Pomera with an innocent smile on her face.

「Philia wants to fight that swordsman person too!」

Sorry but, please spare him from that horror, Philia.

I could already see the figure of Alfred getting smashed by hands growing up from the ground the moment they started fighting.

The only silver lining for Alfred was the fact that he chose Pomera, the one with the most common sense amongst us.

「Sorry... Kanata-san. You’re right, things would have turned out much easier for us if we’d just backed down.」

Pomera was about to say something but then, the man wearing a tapered hat offered his hand toward her.

「Oops, don’t be so wary about me. I won’t be the one who reports this matter to the guild master. I ‘m not calling out to you for that. I mean, those mobs have no idea what happened during the fight a while ago. That’s why, as an individual who saw this fight properly, I want to give my praise to you. That’s all I wanted to tell you...」

The man spoke while sending a sidelong glance toward the spectators.

Pomera looked like she had so many things she wanted to tell him but her lips were shut tightly.

Maybe she decided to keep her silence.

The man with a tapered hat then turned around with a grin on his face.

「Fufufu, though it looks like a last minute, desperate attack, apparently I was wrong. Because I know just how much level difference you need to blow Alfred, an A-rank adventurer so easily with such attack.」

It felt like cold water poured on my head as soon as I heard what he said.

The man just left as it was without even looking back.

I-In fact, his remark was waaaay off the mark, it was a huge misunderstanding.

One thing caught my ear when we were returning to the adventurer guild to receive our monetary reward.

「Whether it’s close or ranged combat, and white magic on top of that, all of it is first rate... could it be that she ‘s actually as powerful as our S-rank adventurer, Kotone-sama?」

「No, that’s impossible. I mean, Kotone-sama’s scale is of a completely different level. You can only say that since you never see Kotone-sama’s battle from close.」

Kotone... sama?

If I’m not wrong, she was supposed to be the sole S-rank adventurer in this city.

But, her name didn’t sound like a local name.

Could it be that she was the same transferee as me?

No, that’s just one of the possibilities.

I mean, one of Lovis’ subordinates, the woman who clad in a kimono called Yozakura did say to Lovis that she came from another country.

At that time, someone called out from behind.

「C-Can you please use that white magic... for us? Don’t worry, I’m willing to pay for it... 」

When we turned around to the place where that voice came from, we found out that the speaker was Alfred’s comrade, Sarah.

She carried the Alfred who was fainted while drenching in his blood, walking towards Pomera with embarrassed look on her face.
