Chapter 49

I thought about it with Sasakura-san for a while, but there was no easy way to come up with a solution.

“In the meantime… let’s go and heal the injured kid.”

For now, we’re going to try to heal the injured child with the idea of doing what we can.

We’ll heal him without any after-effects, or even scars. It’ll be in a perfect state.

It could also help the child who caused the other party to be injured, because if he sees the other party’s injuries have been completely healed, it will be somewhat of a relief to him.

“That’s going to be a big commotion in the hospital when we treat the injury, though.”

Sasakura-san, who had been investigating the incident, didn’t seem to be opposed to my advice to heal the victim. She laughed bitterly at my words and told me the hospital where the kid might be.

As I recall, the hospital to which they were sent to was not reported, but since it was a shocking incident in its own way, in today’s world, it turned out to be easier to find than expected.

The timing is not the best, but if we go through with this, I’ll also be able to meet him personally as a result, so it’s fine for now.

Now, what should we do about the commotion that comes with it?

For now, we’ll meet him in secret to prevent others from recognizing us, but the problem is after he’s healed.

Should I ask the victim to help us act out a bit, or should we secretly heal him and make it look like he’s not healed with an illusion…?

But those could eventually be exposed and cause a big fuse in the end.

“This is it.”

“Well… it’s pretty close. Well, the kid who caused the injury must have been on the same train as me, so that’s no surprise.”

“From here… we can either take the train or bus and it’ll take us about an hour to get there.”

When I was thinking about how to deal with this, Sasakura-san showed me the location of the hospital on a map on the internet, and when I checked it, it seemed to be a pretty close place. Its distance is just enough for a good short distance travel.

Well, I guess the people who were summoned were those who were on the same train as me, so the returnees would naturally gather around the area.

Anyway, fortunately, today was a holiday.

And the news I was watching was in the morning, so I had time.

The sooner we can act on this incident, the better, so let’s get on with it.

Well, we could just think about what to do afterwards, it’s never too late for that.

So Sasakura-san and I arrived at the hospital 30 minutes after we decided to act.

Unfortunately, we haven’t come up with a good solution after all, but we’ll do what we can at any rate.

Now, the rooftop of the hospital is surrounded by a high fence, apparently open to the public, and there are several nurses, doctors, and patients who have come to get some fresh air.

And the reason why no one there has noticed us landing on the rooftop is because Sasakura-san is using magic specifically for that.

We literally flew straight to here through the sky when it would have taken us an hour to get here by train or bus.

I stretched my arms upward and relaxed my muscles, thinking that the air trip was quite comfortable.

I was approached from the side with a dumbfounded look on her face.

“Shinjou-kun, why were you running? You can fly normally, right?”

“Well, sometimes I like to move my body as much as possible.”

Yes, as Sasakura-san told me, I ran.

Or more accurately, I made a barrier in the air and ran on it, so it’s basically like flying through the air.

It’s not a problem because I can run at an unbelievable speed for an ordinary person, and I’m fully equipped with the stamina to not get tired at all at this level.

This physical ability is a lot of fun, and the feeling of running with the wind at a level that no normal person would ever feel is wonderful. It’s frustrating that I can’t explain it well, but there is a different kind of pleasure in the act of running than in flying at the same speed.

However, it’s necessary for mental health reasons to use this kind of opportunity to make use of my wonderful physical abilities, which are usually not used on a regular basis, as I feel that they are somewhat cramped and confined. It’s not that I’ve been running for pleasure.

And this time, with Sasakura-san’s help, we were able to hide our appearance and prevent people from seeing us, which is why I was able to display my strength.

I’ve been working on the Recognition Inhibition magic for some time now, but the magic circle I use is very noticeable.

And the Recognition Inhibition magic that was created had to be included in a magic circle or carved directly on the object, so it was a problem.

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to use a magic circle for concealment.

On the other hand, the magic developed in this world is extremely secretive.

It’s too risky, that is.

“That’s what magicians are. They’re good at stealing things.”

“I’m sure there are… probably very few magicians who would abuse it like that… I’m sure there are very few.”

Sasakura-san tried to defend against my sudden thought with a distant look.

Almost none. Almost. Perhaps that’s the answer.

Well, let’s not go into it too deeply for now, but instead just laugh at it, and get on with our original goal.

“Now, where is the victim?”

“We don’t know the name, so we’re not going to be able to find him using the hospital room name tags… I’ll go ask someone who can help us out a little bit.”

Sasakura-san said that and ran towards a doctor on the rooftop.

She’s also quick to act. However, they have a duty of confidentiality, so just because she asks, it doesn’t mean the doctor’s going to answer honestly.

However, there is a condition that this duty is only for ordinary people. In other words, there is no such thing as confidentiality in front of a magician.

As soon as Sasakura-san called out to a doctor, she used some kind magic, exchanged a word or two, and came back early.

“Room 302”.

“Theft, insider trading, data falsification. Anything is possible.”

“Ahaha……”

Sasakura-san suddenly tells me the hospital room where the victim is.

Seeing how efficient she is makes me think of the dangers of that magic, and when I mentioned the crimes that came to mind, she laughed dryly without defending herself this time.

“Well, in case your wondering, there’s an organization like the police that specializes in magicians, so I’m sure the number of people who do really bad things will be kept to a very small number.”

“So they have never been left unchecked?”

Well, since magicians exist, it’s probably natural that there is such an organization to deal with them.

But if that’s the case, it’s almost as if we’re committing a crime right now, but when I asked her about it, she said with a smile, “We won’t be blamed for this, and we didn’t make a mistake that would be noticed in the first place.”

Does that mean that Sasakura-san is capable of getting under the radar of such an organization?

Oh, scary, scary.

Well, she’s a very conscientious beautiful girl, so there’s nothing to worry about.

So, looking away from the sudden darkness, I head to Room 302 with her in order to complete our original goal of treating the victim kid.
