"Do you recall who she is now?"
"Sera."
Vaan replied what ca to his mind.
"Sera huh, so you do rember her."
Astra spoke, her expression seed a little… strange.
"I don't." Vaan shook his head.
"That na just instinctively ca into my mind. I do not know who that girl is or what kind of relationship I have with her."
Hearing those words, Astra's expression returned to normal. No, Vaan even felt like she looked slightly relieved.
"What kind of relationship do you feel like you have with her?" Astra questioned with a curious look on her face.
"It is hard to guess."
"Hmm? Why is that?"
"She acted like she was close to , but sothing didn't feel right."
Astra raised her eyebrow in slight surprise,
"Explain more clearly, what do you feel about that girl."
"That girl… she is suspicious."
Vaan spoke out his thoughts.
"Suspicious?"
Astra tilted her head in confusion.
"I do not know how to explain it, the way she asked if I had gotten what she wanted, then acted disappointed when she realized I didn't, and then acted like she understands and forgave . In that whole conversation, she acted like I failed to et her expectation and she was the bigger person who forgave , when in truth, she was the one who asked for the favor in the first place.
Then she talked about you, she indirectly compared to you, then insinuated that you do not fully trust and I need more ti to 'earn' your trust, it was as if she was trying to create a ridge between the two of us.
That girl…
She is definitely up to no good."
Vaan explained.
"Heh, to think you would say that about Sera or all the people."
Astra chuckled.
"You used to regard her as the most important person in your life."
"That can't be true, the most important person in my life is my mother." Vaan was quick to answer.
Hearing those words, Astra couldn't help but smile.
"You have gotten good at buttering up. I feel scared now."
"I am not buttering you up, Mother. You are the most important person to , you are soone I absolutely cannot lose again."
"Again?" Astra's expression changed.
"N-No, I ant that even if I did so stupid things before, I am different now." Vaan quickly corrected himself.
A small smile appeared on Astra's face.
"Do you think you will be the sa once you get your mory back?"
"I will," Vaan replied with a confident look on his face.
He was not planning to go anywhere now. He would stay here with his mother for a long ti.
"Well then, the Healers are here, shall we go?"
"Healers?" Vaan frowned.
"Mhm, the people who would help you get your mories back."
'Huh?' Vaan couldn't understand.
That was possible?
Why was his mother acting like it is sothing that can be done with a snap of one's fingers? Don't they usually need long therapy sessions to get sothing like that? Also, it is not like he can simply recall all the mories, there is no way he could do that since he is not the real Vaan in the first place.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go." Suddenly, Astra held Vaan's hand and took him to a certain room.
Inside the room, there sat 3 people wearing white robes.
'Is this a cult or sothing?' Vaan questioned inwardly.
He looked around and noticed that there was no one else inside the room except for him, his mother, and these 3 white robbed n.
'Are they the ones mother called to help get my mory back? How are they going to help ? They don't even have any dical instrunts around.'
This all seed… foolish.
Did his mother seriously believe in these kinds of stuff?
'Whatever, as long as she is happy.'
Vaan sighed.
"Go sit on the chair."
Astra spoke, Vaan nodded and sat on the chair. The three white-robed n extended their hands toward them,
"Heal."
They spoke at the sa ti.
'Heh, not even so inaudible words that you can call a chant, huh? Even if they are trying to scam people, shouldn't they try to be smarter about it?
So what's gonna happen now?
A white light would co to and heal all my wounds under the na of the holy god? Kek, stupid things like these are always so entertaining to watch, to think I would be a part of all this soday.'
Vaan giggled inwardly, but suddenly,
"!!!"
His eyes widened in surprise,
ραΠdαsΝοvel A white light ca out of the bodies of these white-robed n, the energy then moved and surrounded Vaan's body.
'Is this so sort of VFX?'
Vaan wondered, however, suddenly, a powerful sense of comfort washed over his body. The places where his body felt sore, so injuries that weren't properly tended to or needed more ti to heal naturally, they all healed in an instant.
'T-This… this actually works!?'
Vaan's eyes widened in fright.
What he just said as a joke actually happened!!
This... This is real Magic!!
Vaan couldn't believe it.
However, he didn't have the ti to process all this,
There was a bigger problem he had to deal with.
Suddenly, new waves of information rushed into his mind,
'NO!'
Suddenly, Vaan shouted in his head.
This Magic, it was working!
He had started recalling things, if it continued, it was not impossible for his mind to be overwheld by all these new mories of a different person and he might end up losing his sense of self.
He had to stop this magic!
He had to get out of here!
With that thought in his mind, he tried to move, soon, however, he realized that he couldn't move his body.
"You cannot move when the Heal is being cast on you, it could be dangerous," Astra spoke, a small magic circle could be seen on the top of her hand.
Binding Magic.
Vaan's heartbeat quickened because of how scared he was.
He wanted to stay in this place a little longer.
However, he knew he couldn't break away from his mother's magic.
That was simply impossible because…
His mother, Astra Elicia Vesta, was one of the strongest Mages in the world!
'Fuck it! I'll endure it all myself!'
In the end, Vaan just prepared himself for all the mories that would rush into his mind.
He swore in his heart.
No matter what, he wouldn't forget his sense of self.
