A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

Chapter 66: Reporter

How is it?

My entire body was inside the room now and no alarm had sounded.

Success.

Alright.

I walked step by step through the room, it was dark but the dungeon was darker. There were various magic tools such as swords, robes, armor in class cases, etc. The room wasnt very wide but it was long, I found a bookcase.

Nono..

I checked the books with the memo in one hand. I checked at least a hundred of them but couldnt find it. I turned and looked at another bookshelf behind me.

Hm? This is.

A book matched the memo. I used telekinesisto pull the book off the shelf and put it in storage. Then I had a brilliant idea, why dont I just put all the books in storage and we can look for it together back in the room? Actually theyd probably notice if everything disappeared

I kept searching, finding another book, then another. The search was going smoothly but this was only a small part of the books in this room. There were several bookshelves farther back.

Suddenly I felt a magical wave.

Looks like thats it.

I used God speedto return to Patrick.

Alright, Im closing it.

It looks like Patrick felt it too, we shut the door then Patrick climbed on my back.

Dont fall off.

Just go.

*

This is all I found but theres still a ton of books left.

I pulled the books out of storage once wed returned to Patricks room.

For now Ill check these.

Patrick lightly flipped through the pages confirming the books contents.

Fiery demonic book.

What a bad title.

I wont know unless I read it properly but, its probably fascinating.

Fascinating?

Mind control magic. Although that sort of magic is forbidden.

Like that he checked the content of each book.

Birth of advanced healing magic..how to burn someone to death.

I was waiting for that, can you hand me that healingwhatever book?

Yeah, after youve read it though we have to go return it. Professionals dont even let it be known that anything was taken.

What do you mean Pro?

It looks like Patrick wants to be a thief.even though hes already a prince.

Birth and history of fire.hmm? This.

What?

Patrick suddenly opened the book and began to hungrily flip through its pages.

This is it! This is it!

What?

This book talks about the spirit of fire in depth. I can sign a contract with it now!

Oh thats what you were looking for then?

Yeah, I didnt think we would find it this fast, thank you Nito.

Thats good. Did we find anything on Resuscitation magic?

Let me see. It doesnt look like we have any Resuscitation Magic among the books I dont think any of this magic can even be used by a healer.

Not here huh.

Well, I didnt think Id find it the first time.

Oh well, go again tomorrow?

Yeah.

Nah Ill go a long this time, can you lend me the wand? Ill come back once if found the books.

Huh? But I want to help you.

Its better if I go alone. Im getting better at sensing magic power and if someone comes I can run away faster.

Well. I admit I wasnt happy about the piggyback ride.

So can you translate for me then? Ill bring what I find here.

That does seem to be more efficient.

Tomorrow Ill return these books then bring back others. You wait here.

Ok.

The first day was over. I continued to search for books the next day and the day after but there was no Resuscitation Magic.

Patricks predictions were correct, Im now being followed around by several students.

Most of them were female, theyd rushed to the dormitory saying it was a sign. Nem was out receiving special magic training while Sierra was teaching the sword. I should have left the room when Toa did, shes probably in the library with Patrick by now searching for attack magic that a healer can use.

Everyone! Its Nito!

I was found hiding behind a pillar, there was magical waves coming from all directions. So I used [God Speed] and left the classroom building.

But now I couldnt reach the library as to get to it I had to go back to the classroom building. Thats when I remembered it, the [Hidden robe].

It blocks more than just magic power making it so that I wasnt noticed by anyone. Should I have worn this when I went to the restricted section? No, I should have had Patrick wear it.

Uhm, excuse me

I looked back and who called out, terrified.

yes?

I was able to relax, it wasnt a student.

Standing there was a blonde haired woman in a navy blue suit and next to her was a man that looked like a war photographer with a camera around his neck.

Im sorry, my name is Francesca. This is my partner Dolly. Weve received information that the adventurer Nito is at this school, Id like to ask you a few things.

Yeah.

I answered vaguely.

We are reporters from the Magic News Agency and we have permission from the school to be here.

Francesca presented her permit.

Magical News Agency

I didnt think Patricks predictions would be this correct! Thats the magazine he showed me.

Do you know them? Apparently a student by that name entered this school about a week ago.

Why are you asking me? There should be other students.

I dont know, although all the girls are talking about it.

I see thank you.

Giving an apologetic look I crossed in front of them and left. That was a close call, Im glad I didnt get caught. That camera is probably to take a picture of my face.

*

Hey Dolly, that was [cognitive impairment] wasnt it.

Francesca squinted at the leaving students back.

Yeah I couldnt see their face, why is a student wearing such a thing? Aristocrat or no that isnt something a kid should have.

Strange, I wonder if its normal to wear that kind of robe here.

Like for a class or something. Well thats not what were here for. Lets hurry and find that guy.

Its possible its just a hoax.

Well if we cant find him well just go to Razhousen. Well be back for the school competition anyway.

Yeah.

Dolly didnt seem to care but, Francescas gaze was fixed on Masamunes back. She had a strange feeling but the two of them went into the school building in search of Nito.

*

Oh Nito, youre late.

When I finally arrived at the library Toa and Patrick were already looking through the books.

They came?

Who came?

The reporters from the Magical News Agency.

I explained the situation to Toa.

Youve become quite famous.

It seems that Toa was referring to the hoard of female students. She looked disgusted.

Thats not a good thing. It was really difficult to get here, I was surrounded by students and caught by the reporter, well I didnt get caught but

You should have bought that mask.

Probably.

Mask?

To hide Nitos face, its a countermeasure against the camera.

Ill go to town but more importantly my magic..

Oh? Well, if it isnt prince Patrick.

A girl with straight black hair appeared.

Didnt you go back home?

A girl with black cat ears, about the height of Nem, stood beside her.

Alice, not now.

Not now, who are you talking to? And dont think you can just say my name!

Then stop bothering me!

I saw Patricks sharp demeanor on the first day but this seemed a little different.

Do you know this person, Patrick?

Patrick didnt answer my question and the girl turned a cold smile on me before looking back at Patrick.

Oh you made some friends, prince? Ill leave today out of consideration for him.

She left the library with the black eared cat girl.

Who was that? I didnt like her.

Alice Greystar.

Whats Greystar? Toa asked.

Daughter of the duke.

So why was Alice bothering you? Did she have some kind of grudge?

Thats.

It looks like Patrick was having a hard time saying it.

If you dont want to talk about it I wont ask.

The Greystar family is a branch of Razhousen.

Oh, I see.

I dont really understand though.

Were there nobles by the name of Greystar in Razhousen?

If theyre a branch family I should have heard of them.

Thats why. When the royal capital was founded, my ancestors expelled the Greystar family. Thats why they have a grudge against Razhausen.

I understand now.

Theres almost no blood relation anymore but the Greystars still think theyre more suited to being royalty. More importantly Nito, you remember what today is right?

Today? Toa asked.

Yeah were going to town to buy some ingredients, but my magic

Weve checked all the shelves in here. Theres no book like that.

Well then, the search here is done.

After that Toa left because she had something to do and Sierra was teaching Nem swordsmanship. So I put the healers attack magic on the back burner and went to town with Patrick.
