Altoria and Alberon had events transpire about which Reiger naturally had no knowledge.
Even if he knew, Reiger wouldn’t be surprised.
It was perfectly normal for Alberon to doubt his own origins.
On the contrary, it was abnormal, like Altoria, who knew her origins were dubious yet never doubted herself and somehow gradually came to trust and even depend on herself.
After all, he was neither a native of Fairy Country Britannia nor from the Pan-Human History.
The stories taking place in this world are a collection of various tales involving massive conflicts between Pan-Human History and the eliminated anomalous zones; Reiger belonged to neither side but was an entirely unknown third party. It was easily conceivable that many who knew his situation would doubt him.
At the least, Reiger was sure, not just Alberon, even Beryl, who already realized that he was not the expected Chosen One but a human, was doubting his origins and making some arrangements.
Only Morgan, the witch, despite knowing that Reiger was not the Chosen One nor a human from Pan-Human History, did not doubt him at all.
It could be said that this queen, who vocally deemed Altoria her arch-nemesis, actually harbored an inexplicable trust and dependence on Reiger, much like Altoria herself.
Otherwise, why would the witch plant a "stake" inside Reiger’s body?
Wasn’t this clinging to Reiger?
Given this, Reiger wouldn’t be surprised by Alberon’s doubts; it was the trust and dependence of Morgan and Altoria that he found bizarre.
Of course, Reiger wasn’t in the mood to think about that now.
At this moment, he had another matter to attend to.
It was the girl he had saved—Matthew Kililet.
But now the issue was...
The girl stared at Reiger with her eyes wide open, filled with blankness.
Yes, she had forgotten.
Forgotten who she was.
Naturally, she also forgot her current circumstances and the purpose of her coming to this anomalous zone.
Reiger wasn’t surprised by the girl’s condition; he maintained his half-crouching position in front of her and spoke.
"I know you have many questions right now, but for now, you should first check your condition to see if there’s anything wrong. If there is, tell me immediately."
Upon hearing this, the girl still looked bewildered, her focus barely gathered, yet she instinctively followed Reiger’s instructions and checked her body.
This body, which felt strangely unfamiliar yet extremely familiar, was currently as if it wasn’t hers at all, radiating a feeble state.
There were no injuries; they had already been healed.
Her strength was mostly restored, and even her equipment was intact.
But for some reason, the girl felt unable to move.
This was due to a sense of dissonance fiercely undulating in her brain, causing her to feel dizzy and weak all over.
Thus, following her feelings, the girl said vaguely.
"I... I seem to have lost something..."
This was the reason behind the sense of dissonance.
Reiger was taken aback.
"Yes." Although the girl looked confused and uncertain, her tone still conveyed: "It seems to be something very important... something that absolutely cannot be lost... what could it be...?"
The girl couldn’t remember, only certain that it was indeed something very important to her. If she didn’t mention it now, perhaps in a little while, after she got used to her current state, she would completely forget it.
This feeling was somewhat similar to just waking up from sleep, wearing clothes different from the ones she wore to bed the night before, but she had forgotten, only vaguely sensing something was amiss.
In a few more minutes, this feeling of being amiss would disappear as she became fully awake, so the girl felt it necessary to speak now.
Reiger was initially slightly confused by what the girl meant, but a moment later, as if he remembered something, he glanced at the young girl, whose small frame yet pronounced curves stood out distinctly.
Without lingering too long on the girl’s attractive body, Reiger stood up and spoke to her.
"You sit here and rest for a bit; I’ll try to find it for you."
Seeing that the girl’s reaction seemed somewhat dull and she didn’t respond immediately, Reiger added.
Reiger’s inquiry was met with only a confused nod from the girl, truly a concern.
Reiger then felt as if once he looked away, the girl in front of him might wander off in a daze, possibly even end up being kidnapped and sold.
In the original story, the girl lost her memory and then encountered such incidents, didn’t she?
Thinking this, Reiger suddenly cast a spell.
"[Seventh Order Monster Summoning]."
As the spell was cast, a magical array appeared in front of Reiger.
The girl, lying there in a daze while struggling to support herself, saw this scene and immediately showed a surprised expression.
