So what do you guys think Mestianora was hiding when she was telling Ferdi how to restore Roz memory? (The part where Mestianoras eyes darted around the room).

Also I do wonder how Roz regained her memories from watching her prayer. Was the scene emotional enough to break the thin film blocking her memories or something else?

It could be that she didn't know either, which is surely a very rare, and likely embaressing thing to happen to the literal goddess of wisdom. Or maybe a bit of guilt is setting in for teating her most devout follower so badly, just to get back at that other guy.

If feel like if she knew a way, she would probably have teased Ferdinand some more, and then probably told him for Myne's sake.

Then again... considering how regular noble culture works, drinking synchronization potions and using the memory searching magic tool for reasons other than criminal investigation, would probably be a very scandalous thing, so maybe she couldn't quite bring herself to tell him that solution.

It might also be that from the perspective of a god using a synchronization potion is an even more severe act, to them Mana is even more intimate than to nobles and Mestionora only possessing (and thereby synchronizing) a single person in recorded history points to only doing so as a last resort. It might just be that to a god the act of synchronizing Mana is even more scandalous than to a noble.
