"Tsk~ I knew it was you!"
As Isaac followed Prince Norns into the dining hall, he immediately spotted a familiar face: Merin, a Witch from the Mad Witch Association.
'Merin's true identity isn't hard to guess,' Isaac thought. 'The original author of the Divine Research Manual was just a fairly average Wizard, so it's unlikely the manuscript of such a minor figure would be scattered across the globe. That means the Witch Merin and I, holding the two halves of the manuscript, can't be far from each other in the real world. In fact, we're likely within the same Empire.'
'And based on what I know, the only legitimate Mad Witches within the Empire are the Eldest Princess and me. It isn't a hard puzzle to solve.' The same was true in reverse. Isaac's identity wasn't hard to guess either, especially since his codename in the Mad Witch Association was simply his surname, Solomon.
"Hmm? You two know each other?" Prince Norns asked in surprise, looking from the Eldest Princess to Isaac.
