Are you Stella?

“Fuahh… thank you very much for saving me…!” (Stella)

The elf Stella was showing a face that looked like she was about to cry.

Well, her lower body is still stuck in the wall though. But what kind of situation is this? First, I should organize my thoughts. Calm down.

When I cast the magic, the wooden statue changed into a living elf.

Hmm, I have no idea what happened. I will have to ask her for details later. First, it is more important to rescue her from the wall.

“You are not saved yet, you are still stuck in the wall. I will move the wall immediately and help you.” (Elt)

“Thank you, thank you very much…!” (Stella)

I focused my mana and chanted again.

This time it should activate.

“Move, [Large Tree–….” (Elt)

*Rumble…!*

The wall made of large tree wood started moving with a sound, and the wall around Stella disappeared. She slipped out from the wall and landed on the ground.

Hmm, this time it worked properly. That failed magic was definitely caused by this girl.

“Haah… I, I’m really saved now!” (Stella)

“Yes, it seems so. But are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” (Elt)

“Fuahh?” (Stella)

“Nyan, you were stuck in the ground and the wall, nyan. I am curious about who you really are and what happened, but how is your body?” (Brown)

“Um, my body is fine… I think…” (Stella)

I exchanged glances with Brown.

I think we both thought the same. Yeah, self-reporting is not reliable. For now, I will have Anaria, the best apothecary in the territory, examine her.

When we arrived at Anaria’s house, we explained the situation and she immediately started examining Stella. Since Anaria was an apothecary from the labyrinth city, she quickly performed a thorough check.

“Hmm, there doesn’t seem to be any particular health problems. She is just a little thin.” (Anaria)

“I am sorry… thank you very much…” (Stella)

“No, no, don’t worry about that…” (Anaria)

Anaria glanced at me briefly.

Yes, I want to ask about the details now. There is no need to confront or interrogate her aggressively. For now, it depends on what she plans to do next.

“Ah, first, may I ask your name?” (Elt)

“…Fuahh, yes. It is about me, right…? I am Stella Celesta. As you can see, I am an elf.” (Stella)

“I am Elt, the lord of this territory. This is the apothecary Anaria. And the Nyaff tribe’s Brown who informed us about you.” (Elt)

“Ah, you are the Lord-sama!? I am very sorry for the great rudeness…” (Stella)

“No… don’t worry about it. It’s okay.” (Elt)

I cleared my throat.

There are many things I need to ask.

“I want to confirm something. About that wooden statue–… why did it become like that?” (Elt)

There are cases where some magic, curses, or magic item effects transform someone’s appearance. There are various causes.

“That form is because of a magic item, the Demon King’s pendant…” (Stella)

“Ah, that one…” (Elt)

I remember that name. It is an item that converts the wielder’s mana into physical strength. If a person with strong mana uses it well, it becomes an effective way to restore stamina. However, the downside is that it randomly applies debuffs during conversion.

“So, you were unlucky and drew a bad debuff, which turned you into a wooden statue?” (Elt)

“Uhh, yes. You know well…” (Stella)

“Was my magic involved in returning you to normal?” (Elt)

“Probably, yes… The wooden statue and your mana must have interacted and canceled the debuff.” (Stella)

That’s because both mana are plant-related. It was like annihilation. According to my past life knowledge, this kind of phenomenon rarely happens, but I guess it can occur sometimes. Looking back, it was very lucky I was able to help.

When I said this, Anaria looked pityingly.

“So, the years passed as you were buried in the ground…” (Anaria)

“Well… it was like a long nap, so it was not too harsh…” (Stella)

“Tough, nyan.” (Brown)

“…It wasn’t too harsh?” (Anaria)

Surprisingly, Stella does not seem to mind having been a wooden statue. Well, maybe she just does not show it to us. Now, I have to confirm whether she is the real Stella. I can’t just save her and let her go without checking.

According to Brown, Stella is an S-rank adventurer. S-rank adventurers are rare even worldwide. There are only seven left now, and there is none in Zanzas. But how do I confirm she is really her…? Ah, there is a good way. S-rank adventurers can all use magic. If she can use the same magic as the legendary one, she must be the real one.

“…Then, are you the real Stella? The S-rank adventurer who was called the hero of Zanzas?” (Elt)

“I am embarrassed, but yes… You might not believe me though…” (Stella)

“Hmm, what magic did the legendary Stella use?” (Elt)

“Nyan! Hero Stella is known for strength magic, nyan. The power to crush dragons with her bare arms is her trademark, nyan!” (Stella)

“Yes, even in plays. The scene where she pinches and bends very hard ebony wood with her fingers is famous.” (Anaria)

“That story still exists? Umm, that story is not exactly true…” (Stella)

“…Strength, [Enhancement] magic, huh. Then proving it is easy. I have some ebony here.” (Elt)

I concentrated my magic and created a piece of ebony from the floor.

“Ma, magic…” (Stella)

“All right, sorry for this, but can you try it? I think it will make things smoother for both of us.” (Elt)

“Yes… understood. Then…” (Stella)

Stella pinched the ebony with her fingertips. We all held our breath and watched.

“Fuahh… Ei!” (Stella)

Crush, crumble… Crumble!?

The ebony had been crushed into tiny pieces by her fingertips and disappeared. That power was beyond expectations. So that was what she meant by not true.

“But now it is certain you are Stella.” (Elt)

There is no doubt. Magic is not something easily faked.

I turned to Stella.

“Sorry for everything, Stella. You are certainly the adventurer Stella. Now that I know, you are free. What will you do next? Will you return to being an adventurer?” (Elt)

Then, Stella looked firmly into my eyes for the first time. Her tone was unlike before. It seemed she had a strong will.

“…If it is not a bother, may I stay here?” (Stella)
