I was a monster with a scary face.

From the sidelines, I'm aware that my reputation is like that, but I never thought that Nak's sister would recognize me that way.

 

"In the meantime, let me introduce myself again. He is a hero of the Ringle Kingdom, and he is now one of the members of the Life Rescue Team, an organization to which Nak belongs."

"...... in the same place as your brother!? Eh, Yu, Brave!? You fought that Demon Lord!?"

 

This time, Miria is surprised by her seniors who revealed her identity.

I'm scared of how people will react, but I have to talk about it.

 

"I'm Usato Ken, the Deputy Leader of the Lifesaving Team of the Lingle Kingdom, and I'm the Healing Wizard who recommended your brother, Nak, to the Rescue Team in Luqvis."

"Oh, really? Oh, come to think of it, I think Usato's name was also written in your sister's sentence. It was written in such a terrible way, I thought it was the name of a special demon race......"

"'Boom!'"

 

- Now, the familiar and the demon girl who spewed out.

I'll use it as a test bed for healing synchronization later, so be prepared.

 

"After all, was it?"

"Did you notice Mr. Belle?"

"You two are famous for your exploits, and I see you riding in the carriage of the Calmherio, and you are about to return from the Festival of the Heroes, aren't you?"

"Oh, that's right."

 

This person seemed to be aware of me and my seniors.

No, I'm more suspicious that Miria doesn't know about Senpai, the hero of the Ringle Kingdom.......

 

"Did Belle know......?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry from my husband...... They made sure not to touch on topics related to the Lingle Kingdom......

"Oh yes, I don't ...... at all."

 

Aristocrats are kind of scary.

Was he treating Nak, who was supposed to be his child, as superfluous information that he shouldn't have heard?

With a heavy sigh, Miria turns to face him again.

 

"Thank you, Usato-san."

"What?"

"Please help my brother."

 

I am surprised to see her suddenly say thank you and bow her head.

Honestly, "How do you treat my brother?" I thought I would be blamed for that, so I was confused.

 

"I was worried about what I would do if my brother was in a terrible situation...... If you, a renowned healing wizard, have guided me, I don't have to worry about that."

"I don't ...... to be famous, it's true that the training itself is hard."

"Even if your brother was in Luxvis, he wouldn't be happy."

 

That is...... Let's see.

If Nak had stayed in Luxvis instead of meeting us, he would have been completely broken.

Realizing the possibility once again, Miria let out a big sigh.

 

"But if you meet your sister, ......."

"Ah, maybe, but the sister you are talking about...... Do you mean Mina?"

「…… Yes."

 

Miria nods in response to her senior's question.

- In Luxvis, a childhood friend who was oppressing him.

He seems to be deeply remorseful, but even if you include that, the relationship between the two of them is too complicated and troublesome.

 

"It was from Sister Mina that I heard."

"Do you feel like you're getting along pretty well?"

"She was like a big sister to me, and although she was bullish, she also took care of me a lot because I was a withdrawn person."

 

It's a bit of a surprising fact.

But considering that he was also on good terms with Miria, how much do he know about the relationship between Nak and Mina?

 

"Don't worry, I know what Sister Mina did to her brother in Luqvis."

"I know...... Are you there? Is that from Mina herself?"

"Yes, I heard about it from none other than Sister Mina, about Luxvis."

 

I told you the truth.

He must have been prepared to be blamed by this child.

I dare to dig deeper into Mina.

 

"You...... What do you think of what Meena did to you?"

"Of course I won't."

"What?"

 

Both I and my seniors are surprised by Miria's immediate answer.

 

"No matter what the reason, what Sister Mina did to her brother is unforgivable, and it doesn't matter how much you regret or regret it. I'm never going to forgive you."

 

The hand on Miria's lap clenches tightly.

Suppressing her emotions, she continues to speak.

 

"I don't know what kind of feelings your brother had when he was driven into Luxvis, and what kind of thoughts he had every day...... I believed that Mina's sister would help her brother."

「……」

 

As for the issue of Nak and Mina, it's not for us to say on our own.

However, from the perspective of her sister, Miria, she must have felt betrayed by Mina, whom she trusted.

 

"When Sister Mina informed me of this, I had blood on my head and sent me a dozen sermons in a letter."

"What, and what kind of reply do you ......?"

"I got back a sentence summarizing my apology."

 

Does that Mina desperately apologize to this child?

Is it close to a friendship when they exchange letters?

 

「…… Personally, I thought of Meena as my real sister. But that's another story. I don't have any ill feelings towards her, but I do draw the line."

"Are you going to go that far?"

"That's all I've done, and I'm looking at cutting ties."

 

…… This kid is amazing.

He's not stubborn, and he's calmly thinking about the problems of Mina and Nak.

 

「…… But despite the sermon, I am not qualified to blame Sister Mina. I couldn't do anything for my brother, who was left alone in that house......"

"You were still young, weren't you? It's unavoidable."

"Still...... It's true that we couldn't do anything."

 

By the time the situation around Nak got worse, Miria probably wasn't ten years old.

 

"And what should never happen is that my brother will hold back and become a nay-because I get along with Sister Mina, and that doesn't solve the problem, it just makes it out of sight."

「…… That's why we draw the line."

 

…… I guess you want to say that you can't move forward unless you get rid of the relationship.

The longer Nak and Mina's problem drags on, the more awkward and unbearable it seems to be.

 

"When Sister Mina apologizes to her brother and apologizes honestly, properly, firmly, and when she accepts it, I forgive her, and even if she can't do that, I accept the consequences."

 

Miria put it into words with a strong will...... But then she sighs heavily.

 

「…… You're solid, aren't you?"

"No, because I couldn't support my brother after all......

 

"I'm saying this, but I'm not 11 years old in my words and actions."

"Maybe it was because I was in a situation where I had to grow up mentally......

 

In the first place, it would be more difficult for Miria, who is a child, to manage the environment surrounding Nak.

It must have been hard for this child himself, surrounded by parents who abandoned him.

 

"I'm sorry this is a long story."

"No, I'm glad you asked."

 

I nodded at my senior's words.

It was something I had to know at some point, and it was kind of a coincidence that I was able to talk to Nak's sister, Miria, here.

 

"Hey, Usato."

"Hmm?"

 

Nea on his shoulder speaks to him in a low voice.

 

"Wouldn't it be okay if I and Ferm revealed our identities at this time? If I go back to the Ringle Kingdom, I can't avoid meeting Kira anyway."

『…… Are you okay?'

"It's Nak's sister, so it's okay."

 

…… Nea is right, it's inevitable that we'll meet anyway.

Above all, it's Keira who is training with Nak, and it's better to explain it now.

 

"Senior, are you okay?"

"yes, I think I'll be fine."

 

Okay, I've got permission from my seniors to talk to Miria and Belle.

 

"Miria, Mr. Belle, I'm going to introduce you to my friends."

"Eh, but only Usato and Inukami-san ...... here."

"I'm sure you'll be surprised...... Nea, Ferm."

 

At the same time as my voice, the nair on my shoulder changed from an owl to a black-haired, red-eyed uniform, and Ferm, who had assimilated with me, lifted the spell and appeared next to me as I sat down.

 

"Greetings, Nea."

"Ferm. ...... Ah, I'm a demon."

「!!??」

"Well......

 

Miria is surprised when the two of them introduce themselves, and for some reason, she looks at me twice.

Ms. Belle seems to have only to open her eyes because she is entrusted with the role of maid.

 

"Why is there a demon woman from Usato?" And a cute owl? Eh, then Usato ...... too."

"This is who I am."

「…… I'm sorry ......."

 

Ferm, Nea: What's wrong?

Did I just say something crazy?

 

"Nea is Usato's familiar, and Ferm is a demon, and both are members of the lifesaving team."

"Li, I've heard that the Ringle Kingdom is famous for accepting subhumans as a normal country...... Oh, I don't care at all! Belle is fine, isn't she?"

 

My expression hardens with a smile on my face, and my seniors who I didn't see follow me.

Miria was surprised, but quickly turned to Belle, and she nodded firmly.

 

"Yes, I have often heard rumors about Usato-sama. Of course, Inukami-sama's."

 

I'm scared that Mr. Bell is hearing rumors.

I wonder what kind of rumors it is.

I think he knows pretty well that he's not upset.

 

「…… It's not a hawk, is it?"

「「…… Huh?"

 

The muttered words made me and my seniors nervous.

A horror that even the Enver battle had never had.

To say that Nea, who was in the form of an owl earlier———, was not a hawk is only to those who know about the novel, where I became a prince, my senior became a maiden, and Bullyn became a horse.

 

"Being a member of the life-saving team means that you are in the same place as your brother."

"Oh, yes, that's right."

 

Upset, the senior responds.

 

"Then I'd like to ask you what your brother usually does in the rescue team!"

「「「……」」」

 

At Miria's question, Senpai, Nea, and Ferm gasp in unison.

Tilting my head at the three of them who were frozen in smiles, I decided to briefly talk about the daily life of Nak in the rescue team.

 

"Nak trains every day as a healing wizard."

"After all, I ...... healing magic!"

"yes, it's weird to say it from my point of view, but if you want to train healing magic, the Lifeguards are the best place to go, and Nak is doing his best to help out at the infirmary."

"Wow."

 

Miria is also happy to hear that her brother is doing his best.

 

"I'm also working my running and training."

"...... the healing wizard ran in?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's important for the rescue team to build up their physical strength."

「…… It's true that your job is to heal people. That means physical fitness is also important."

"yes, I've been inspired by the new kid who recently joined me and I'm training even harder."

 

Both Nak and Kira are the same age, so it's actually pretty good to be able to train with me like a tough guy.

Above all, "I'm tired of losing!" It's good to be able to do your best.

 

"It wasn't so much competition as it was cursing."

"Both are the colors of the rescue team...... No, it's dyed in usato."

 

Stop talking about me as a source of infection.

You haven't gotten to be like me yet.

 

「…… It's getting dark."

 

It seemed that they were talking quite a bit for some reason, and the sky was getting dark.

 

"Senior, it's about time to get ready for the night, so I'll move to the guard knight."

"I don't think you have to worry about it."

"This is what I care about."

 

When I talk to my seniors while looking out, Miria also reacts.

 

"What, Usato-san is outside?"

"It would be awkward if I was there."

 

If I had a male servant, Miria and Belle wouldn't be bothered.

As for me, I don't mind staying in the field at all, and it's fun to talk to the knights who guard Kamherio, so it's not a problem at all.

Miria looks sorry, but Nea and Ferm glance at me and open their mouths.

 

"You don't have to feel sorry for him, he can sleep anywhere."

"Besides, no matter what comes your way, you'll wake up quickly, there's no point in worrying."

"I can't help it, Usato-kun."

 

You guys should worry more about me.

And seniors, please stop making casual and mysterious childhood friend moves.

Then, just as the carriage stopped, Ferm, who was next to me, assimilated with me so that the knight of the guard would not see me.

 

"Then I'll go outside."

"See you at dinner."

 

Nodding to the seniors who waved at me, I got out of the carriage.

Looking around, I saw that the knights of the escort were preparing for the night.

 

「…… I never thought I'd meet Nak's sister."

"You must have been worried, not long ago, the Lingle Kingdom was at war with the Demon King's army."

 

I'm sure that's true.

If my brother lived near where the fight was going, I would be worried.

 

"Then I'm glad that Nak will be able to reunite with his sister."

『……』

"Hmm? Ferm?"

 

For some reason, Ferm becomes speechless.

 

『…… No, it's nice to see him again, but I'm a little worried that he won't fall down when he sees how he's changed.

"It hasn't changed that much, so it's okay."

"No, it's like an error compared to Usato, you and Rose don't have human faces when you're crazy."

 

Isn't it ridiculously rude?

However, Nak hasn't changed that much from my point of view, so I don't think it's a problem at all.

But...... Well, yes, it might be quite surprising to see Nack when he is training with Keira.
