Chapter 18
—Narsena—
I couldn’t hide my surprise when Ralmsan suddenly kicked Onii-san out of the room .
After all, I knew too much of this person bad nature, that was why I knew she didn’t change her mind because of me .
However, I decided to stop thinking about the real reason why Ralmsan kept Onii-san away .
Because I have a bigger thing I’m bothered about .
「What does it mean? Onii-san is Ralmsan disciple?」
I remembered that Ralmsan talked to me about her only disciple before .
It seemed, together with her former party member, Ralmsan trained her disciple for a short time .
And that disciple was a human with a hard-working character who paid money regularly for several years .
I wouldn’t have surprised that Onii-san was Ralmsan disciple if the talk only reached this far .
Onii-san was said to be trained by two adventurers, and it was no wonder that Onii-san would need to send money at a fixed interval with his small saving .
… However, there was what Ralmsan said that denied the possibility of Onii-san being Ralmsan’s disciple .
「I mean, didn’t Ralmsan said that your disciple only has the ability to become second-rate adventurer at best?」
Because Ralmsan said clearly that her disciple had no talent at all .
… It wasn’t only he had no talent as a healer, but Ralmsan clearly asserted that her disciple had no talent as an adventurer .
Although, looking at the current Onii-san, I couldn’t believe that he had no talent at all .
Certainly, as a healer, Onii-san could only use 《Heal》, but as an adventurer, he had a first-class ability .
There was no way a person like that had no talent as an adventurer .
But it was also hard to imagine that Ralmsan, a world-class adventurer, made a mistake .
Whatever her usual behavior was, her ability to judge other’s ability was certain .
For such kind of person, there was no way she called other clearly untalented for no real reason .
「I can’t believe that you said Onii-san has no talent as an adventurer . Or, are you going to deceive me again?」
That was why I judged that Onii-san being Ralmsan disciple was a lie .
It was a wonder how Onii-san communicated with Ralmsan to both deceived me, but I believed this had the highest possibility .
「No, it’s not a lie . At the very least, that’s how it was several years ago when he was still in training . Nevermind being a genius, that foolish disciple wasn’t even that useful . 」
「………Huh?」
… However, Ralmsan readily denied my expectation .

Furthermore, Ralmsan, floating a pleasant smile on her face, opened her mouth .
「That surprise attack of mine, it should be impossible for Raust to dodge that . A few years ago, even when I used that from the front, he couldn’t even react . I wonder how he got his current ability…」
What she said in the end was words full of her excitement .
I knew that was Ralmsan attitude when she was amused and finding something she enjoyed from the bottom of her heart .
And because I saw that, I now understood .
…… Onii-san was really Ralmsan disciple, and she really believed that Onii-san had no talent .
Also, how Ralmsan didn’t understand how Onii-san got that power .
「Narsena, you joined his party, right? If so, tell me how he fights . 」
「… I understand . But please tell me if you understand something . 」
So, after being a little bit troubled, I decided to talk about how Onii-san fight as asked by Ralmsan .
Why Ralmsan called Onii-san untalented when he has that much power? I couldn’t help but ask that question in my head…

And so, I told her about the battle until now as detailed as possible .
To be able to defend against the hydra attack, and how Onii-san could use elementary level magic despite being a healer .
Also, his breadth of knowledge about monsters, his healing magic abnormal capability, and the ability to detect enemies and traps .
Ralmsan heard all that with great interest .
「… So that’s how it is . 」
After she heard everything, seemingly understood something, she smiled .
A little different from her smile when she was amused before, her current smile was full of satisfaction .
「He’s saying he got his power thanks to me, but isn’t the power I taught insignificant compared to this?…… What a foolish disciple . 」
Ralmsan’s smile filled with a bit of loneliness but her expression still looked so happy it took my breath away .
For a while, I couldn’t talk to Ralmsan .
Ralmsan was currently unlike her usual audacious self, she looked properly like someone’s master, or at least that was what I thought when I saw her expression, hence why I hesitated to talk to her .
However, I couldn’t suppress my curiosity and opened my mouth .

「Err, so do you realize something?」
「Hmm? Ahh, right, you did ask me to explain . 」
Hearing my question, Ralmsan answered my question with an expression that looked like a kid trying to boast .
「That stupid disciple of mine, Raust, had no way to become successful as an adventurer normally . 」
「……… Hm?」
…… But what she said was not what I would expect considering her expression .
I was wondering what kind of positive words she would say, so I couldn’t hide my surprise when Ralmsan said that .
Why? How can you call Onii-san untalented after hearing my story… I was going to say those to Ralmsan .
However, she wasn’t finished speaking yet .
「——— But the current him, Raust has the strength comparable to us, world-class adventurer . 」
「…………Huh?」
…… Unable to comprehend Ralmsan words, I was dumbfounded .
