The man in a suit, who claimed to be the older brother of the girl in the photograph, deeply bowed his head to me. If I recall correctly, I used healing magic to treat that girl who was in a severe accident with a car.

"…My sister."

"Yes, her name is Fuka Yagi. She is my only family, as our parents and grandmother have already passed away. To me, she’s the most important person in the world. I cannot thank you enough for saving her."

The girl in the photograph did resemble him somewhat. But even if he truly is her brother, how did he find out about me? At that time, I used my stealth skill, so no one should have noticed.

"…So, how exactly did you find out about me?"

"Yes, it started with the traffic accident. When I rushed to the hospital after hearing about my sister's accident, the doctor explained her condition to me. Despite such a severe accident, she barely had any major injuries.

At the time, I simply thought she was lucky and thanked God. However, later, when I visited the person who called the ambulance and stayed with my sister to thank them, I was told that she had been critically injured with heavy bleeding, yet her wounds suddenly healed."

That must have been when I used my healing magic while under stealth.

"I still hadn't realized your existence at that point. But what was decisive was the footage from the dashcam of the car involved in the accident."

"The dashcam?!"

"Yes. I was able to see the footage from the dashcam of the driver involved in the accident. It showed you approaching my sister as she lay injured and doing something to her.

However, no one else seemed to notice you. Even the person who called the ambulance didn’t seem to know about you.

From that point, I inferred that the person caught on the footage had some kind of ability to remain unnoticed by others and to heal injuries—and that this person was the one who saved my sister."

The dashcam… I vaguely remember that the car involved in the accident was parked nearby at the time.

Dashcams and surveillance cameras… It seems that the stealth skill, which was supposed to make me invincible against people, has plenty of loopholes in this modern society flooded with cameras.

"I wanted to thank the person who saved my sister, so I began searching for you. Based on the student uniform you were wearing in the footage, I identified your school and obtained the names, photos, and addresses of all the students from a certain source."

A certain source?! Is the security at my school really that lax?!

"Let me assure you that your school’s security is not particularly weak.

Actually, my job involves assisting the police with information gathering. I have access to various sources of data, and this time, I was able to legally obtain the cooperation of your school."

This time? That’s terrifying...

"I tried matching the face in the dashcam footage with the student photos, but I couldn’t find you in the school records."

Oh, right. The photo in the school records must have been from before I inherited the power of the Great Mage and lost weight.

"My sister also said she briefly saw the person who saved her, but… well, she said that person looked quite different from how you appear now, so neither of us recognized you."

Yeah, back then, I was much heavier. It’s probably impossible to identify me as the same person. Still, I didn’t realize the girl had regained consciousness. I thought she was out cold the whole time.

"Later, I continued gathering information and came across the factory explosion caused by the earthquake. From the police, I heard testimonies from people who were caught in the incident saying their serious injuries suddenly healed.

I suspected that the person who saved my sister might be the same person involved in that incident. I obtained surveillance footage from the factory and uploaded it online, hoping to get more information."

"You’re the one who uploaded that video?!"

"Yes. I confirmed in the footage that the person had an ability to remain unnoticed even in front of others, which matched the one who saved my sister. That confirmed it for me. I was also hoping that uploading the video might prompt you to reach out directly."

"Wait, you can contact someone who uploads a video?"

"Yes, there’s a comment feature where viewers can leave messages for the uploader. If you had written something like, ‘I’m the one in the video,’ or mentioned abilities like teleportation or invisibility, I would have known it was you."

…Sorry, I don’t really watch videos online, so I had no idea.

"Unfortunately, I didn’t get any useful leads from the video. However, I managed to rent a house right in front of your school and installed cameras to monitor the students as they came and went. That’s how I finally found you."

That’s terrifying!

If someone saved my mother’s life, I’d want to find and thank them too, but I doubt I could go that far… No, it’s more like this person has the means to do so.

"Once I was certain, I decided to come and see you tonight, even though it was late. Your reaction earlier further confirmed it for me."

…Yeah, I was completely shocked. In a mystery novel, that kind of reaction would be as good as a confession. There’s no denying it now.

"…I understand your story, and I’ve accepted your gratitude. Honestly, I just happened to be there and was able to help, so please don’t worry too much about it."

"If it’s all right, I’d like my sister to thank you directly as well. It’s late now, but could we invite you to our home tomorrow or later?"

Their home… Even if it’s a trap, I should be able to handle it with the Great Mage’s power. Besides, they already know my address. If they wanted to harm me, they would have taken my mother hostage or used some other method by now.

If it comes to that, I’ll use intimidation skills or, as a last resort, manipulate their memories.

"Understood. How about after school tomorrow?"

"Thank you. I’ll come to pick you up at your home around 4 PM."

"Okay. One more thing—could you delete that video? I’d prefer to keep my personal information from being exposed to the public."

"Of course. I’ll delete it right away. I’m sorry; I thought that outfit was unique enough that it wouldn’t cause any issues if shared online."

Ugh, don’t remind me of my cringe-worthy outfit...
