It sounds like a safe bet to me; I much rather err on the side of caution than take any risks with this sort of thing!

But I will defer to your expertise here, Mr. Natori - Mr. Jun! I'm afraid I'm a bit out of my element when the supernatural are involved, but I'm more than happy to keep an eye on Mr. Light's residence for now.

[paperpusher]

It seems like he might take you up on that, Father! He mentioned reaching out to you once we're done here. If you want to sell him on Jun-chan's powers while you're at it, I won't be offended ✨

That aside, has anyone come across a situation where you forget names that you've just read in documents in town? It's happening for both Yagami-kun and I, so whatever it is probably isn't a regular spell. He says it happens in the clinic as well.

[robopriest]

Not me just yet. What do you mean "forget"? Like, the memory isn't there, or its there and its hard to reach?

[paperpusher]

The memory's not there. I tried reading it out loud and still neither of us could remember the name as soon as I was done saying it.

[robopriest]

Maybe a spell tied directly to the name? To make it impossible to remember.

Someone wants to stay hidden, it seems.

[whiteshroud]

Yeah, I'd say so. None of the memory spells back in my world are that advanced, but this wouldn't be the first time this place has outpaced my world.

[robopriest]

I wonder if there's a way around it...maybe using another magic spell against it?

[paperpusher]

[a few minutes later...]

Someone REALLY wants to stay hidden. One of them physically hurt when we read it.

[whiteshroud]

[To Hansa:]

Possibly. I'd need a sample of their magic source before attempting to make a counter spell though.

[....Natori....]

Are you two okay?

[paperpusher]

Just a passing headache. Thank you for your concern, Jun-chan ✨

The log book may have traces of whatever I sealed on it, but according to Yagami-kun trying to read doctor's records left behind in the clinic next to the grocery store also triggers the same effect (of forgetting, not pain!) It might be a better place for experimentation.

[ he has been quietly reading all this for a bit; he has NOTHING HELPFUL until the topic abruptly becomes this trainwreck ]

Miss Doll said we had met before, but trying to remember would only cause pain.

Memories that have been tampered with... maybe they trigger a painful reaction? Maybe these are names we've heard before? Or names of people in power we aren't meant to remember.

[whiteshroud]

Doll said that?

[....]

In that case, it might be best to leave it be for now. It's likely a security measure for their group, and learning some names isn't worthwhile enough to jeopardize our working relationship.

[robopriest]

We met before? That's odd.

Yeah, what Jun said. I wouldn't mess too heavy into it, but if they're keeping things from us, maybe its best we find a workaround in our own time.
