The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 7.3
Mergin grumbled as he healed the wound again and gave up on running.
“Is this healing magic? Are you perhaps a priest? But you’re not wearing priest robes…”
Even in this era, there are those who can use magic. In the current kingdom, those who can use attack and healing magic become hunters or belong to the country or church. Although the salary seems not bad, there didn’t seem to be any dissatisfaction.
“Don’t pry into things unnecessarily. I told you not to tell anyone I used healing magic.”
“Are you maybe a rogue magic user?”
Why does she have to say such a derogatory term?
“I told you not to pry into things. Don’t ask unnecessary questions.”
Walking briskly, Mergin was curt with the girl. This wasn’t how Mergin had been when he first arrived in this world.
— During the Hero Party Era —
“Hey, Mergin. I told you not to be too nice to strangers. You’re being overly meddlesome.”
During a visit to a town after a monster subjugation training, he saw a girl injured and treated her.
“What, Misty, jealous?”
“Why should I be jealous of you?”
“Can’t I just treat an injury a bit?”
“Thank you, Hero-sama!”
“See, this girl is happy too, calling me a hero.”
“You fool! The hero is Maverick. You’re just a support role.”
“But hey, if we don’t visit towns without nobles, there won’t be any monster subjugation.”
Misty gets mad at Mergin and he sulks.
“We can manage on our own, so there’s no need for Mavericks to come here. If you’re called a hero, deny it immediately.”
“Sorry. I’m a member of the Hero Party, but I’m not a hero.”
“No, to us, you are Hero-sama. You saved this town from monsters and even did such kindness.”
Saying that, the blushing girl.
“Come on, Mergin. Let’s go back soon.”
Misty forced Mergin, who was friendly with the girl, to go home.
When they left the town and returned to the castle’s laboratory, Maverick and Gain, the Battle Axe user, came.
“Is it done?”
“We’ve finished everything. It was a delicious town, and it would have been nice if Mavericks had come too.”
“I see. Let’s go next time when I’m free.”
The hero, Maverick, who answered without expression, left the lab with Gain.
“Mergin, you’d better not misunderstand.”
Saying that, the Holy Girl Sophia also left.
“Don’t go inside a demon’s nest without permission. Make sure to report properly.”
That said, Beloch left.
The hero party Maverick was the prince, Sophia was the daughter of a marquis, Maverick’s fiancée, Gain was a military general, the eldest son of the earl, and Beloch was the eldest daughter of a viscount, all four of them being nobles. Misty and Mergin were the only non-nobles.
“Everyone seemed unhappy.”
Mergin said after seeing the party members leave the room.
“Because you do too much.”
“Today’s report has already been received.”
“What does that mean?”
“Just do the monster subjugation as instructed next time. Don’t bother people too much. It creates problems.”
“Is that so?”
“Listen to me quietly.”
Misty said with a bitter face.
