Chapter 36: Unknown
One thing for sure, someone noticed me. It's still unknown if this person seeing Sally or me Sally.
Friend? She/he's powerful. Not even C could see her/him. But, she/he didn't do anything... well, she/he erased my memories.
Enemy? Well, except that, I didn't suffer anything.
I hoped she/he's a friend.
"Hey, C, I wonder... is there any magic..."
"Nn?"
C was feeding the horse and let it rest for awhile. Meanwhile, I prepared some breads for us.
"Is it possible to erase memories with magic?"
"You are a living example. Well... curse is a kind of magic too." (C)
"No, I mean, you see... actually, I met someone in front of the church. You saw it yourself, right? But I couldn't remember."
"Huh?" he confused.
"I wouldn't talk to myself, bring attention while I was trying to avoid people. But, it happened. You saw me talking. So, who I was talking to? And why couldn't I remember?"
"Impossible, unless..." (C)
"Unless?"
"There are many who can pass my eyes undetected. But, who could be stronger than hero's strongest ally?" he asked back.
"Hero what?" I chuckled, "What a chuuni nickname! So who is this hero's strongest ally? My husband's ex teammates or something? Don't tell me it's his ex girlfriend?!"
"Hero Zaq was the strongest fighter. And his greatest strength, of course his own wife. The ex Saintess, you, milady." (C)
"Eh?" I pointed to my own face. "Seriously?"
"As far as I know, almost seven years ago, you still the greatest mage with the greatest power." (C)
"Almost seven years ago?"
"Your entire family got banished. You got green mark. And I guessed, your power got sealed at that time. How did you even alive? With that much magic couldn't get away, you should dead after a few months... or even a few weeks? You were just that powerful." C munched sandwich with a serious expression.
"One more powerful than the greatest mage... Sally's teacher? I mean... my master."
"Nah... the power I talked about was literally magic power. Mana capacity is not something you can change with efforts." (C)
"You wouldn't know! Maybe the church had many hidden powerful people. If I was so great, how could they abandoned me easily? Meaning... I was not great enough to be their important pillar." I concluded.
C looked at me helplessly, like looking at a clueless kid. "What do you think a Saintess as? It's not a title you can achieve with money."
"Well... one more powerful than god's messenger would only be god itself." I commented.
I didn't know then, words I said casually... were the door that keeping me part with the truth. Who would think my small life is brushing fate with the unknown beings?
We continued the journey home. We almost missed dinner.
I found Roona's sword in the midst of mattress. I bet Ms. Curna got it for me. I was glad I treat my guides some juices. They were good people.
"Welcome home," Rooga hugged me as always with sparkling eyes.
