"Hey, wake up."
"Huh!?"
The morning after being forced to eat a poisonous substance by Miru and Gomul.
I was woken up by someone. No, in this case, it would be more accurate to say that he was kicked up rather than knocked up.
Groaning as I fell out of bed, I turned to the assailant who had disrupted my restful sleep, and there was Rose, a green-haired beauty with her arms crossed and looking down at me with sullen eyes.
"What's that...... It's still dark outside......
"Get dressed, I'll tell you about it later."
As soon as he said that, he walked out the door.
Oh, he's a stormy person......
With a hazy head, I finish getting dressed.
If you resist poorly, you can see that you will get angry unnecessarily, and you don't want to be seen like yesterday's mill and gomul.
"I need to get out quickly......
Put on your training clothes and leave the room and head towards the entrance of the dormitory.
At the entrance, the figure of Rose with her arms crossed.
When Rose finds me, she throws a square object at me.
Is this a backpack? It's smaller than the previous one, but...
"Hold it."
"What? I can't read the situation for a moment......"
"I just received a notice from Master Lloyd, you should accompany me to the training of the hero."
......... Huh?
"No, a brave man...... You're talking about Inugami-senpai and Kazuki, right?"
"Kazuki the Brave has already gone to training outside the country in a way that will replace you, and you will accompany the Hero Inukami."
Training outside the country with seniors!? Why me...... Wasn't there Sigurd and the others at the time of Kazuki? I think it's better to leave it up to them.
As if sensing my question, Rose sighs and presses her forehead.
「...... When you came back from the forest, I immediately received a notice that you would accompany Kazuki the Brave to training...... I thought it would be impossible to fight that snake and let you go when you were mentally exhausted, so I refused. So, yesterday, Kazuki the Brave came back, and now it's the turn of the Brave Inukami. Well, I turned down that story yesterday as well...... Oh, if Master Lloyd asks me to do it again and again, I'm going to have to break it."
I ...... that is why he looked tired yesterday.
Well, I can see that I'm not going to be able to do it after I get back from the forest. I have to thank Rose for her care here.
...... I mean, are you going to go out with Inugami-senpai and the soldiers of the kingdom?
"You seem to understand the general situation, so let's head to the gate."
"Yes, I understand...... Oh, Bulllin ......."
"I don't mind if you take me."
It's still dark outside.
I'm going to pick up Bulllyn at the stable, it's time to go outside, I need to get this guy who hasn't been exercising enough lately to exercise.
"Hey, wake up, Bulllyn."
"Gufu~"
"Oh, you won't get up, boy.
Move the backpack to the front instead of the back, and carry the bulllin on your back. This guy slept comfortably...... It's like my back is a special seat.
I got out of the stable and moaned at Bulllyn for not getting up, and I headed with Rose to the gate out of the kingdom.
●
Perhaps because it was early in the morning, Rose and I passed through the unpopular castle town and arrived at the door leading to the outside of the kingdom. There was the figure of Inugami-senpai and the two soldiers standing near her.
「...... Isn't that Usato-kun?"
In addition to Inugami-senpai, there was a cheerful guard I met in front of the castle and a man with a robe over his head.
If you are a healthy person, you can see a man with short red hair and a refreshing impression.
The other is a reticent man with slightly longer bangs, wrapped in a black robe. It sounds suspicious, but I judge that these people are the ones who are in the role of escorts.
"I didn't expect the last person to follow......"
"Maybe it's me."
At the end, the four members, including me, will be one.
Not too much, not too little, just the right number of people.
Rose looked around at the crowd, including me, and turned to the guard guarding the door for us, I think, and motioned for him to open the door.
Naturally, Thomas is frightened and opens the door.
"Come on, go."
"Don't you have something more to say......?"
"Hmm? Do you want me to say something?"
...... After all, it's good.
He shrugs his shoulders at Rose, who has a nice smile on her face.
「...... Your teacher is a strict person."
Inugami-senpai's words sounded sorry for me, and I shrugged my shoulders as I walked through the castle gate and out of the kingdom.
●
"How was Kazuki?"
"It looks like you've endured it quite a bit, it's a real game that you're not used to, you seem to be pretty tired, and you've been sleeping since yesterday."
"Are you okay......?"
The four of us walked out of the Lingle Kingdom, and one of them walked along the leveled road while chatting lightly.
It seems that there are few monsters here, so you won't be attacked unless you have something extra. In fact, Rose and I were not attacked.
The two guards walk in front of them, ready to respond to monster attacks at any time. As expected, he is a knight, and his concentration is extraordinary. You can see that I have the ability to be taken lightly.
「...... Won't Bulllyn wake up?"
"Yes?"
"I'm asking if Bulllyn won't happen."
What are you going to say all of a sudden...... I look at my seniors with cold eyes who make their hands excited and breathe heavily.
No, how much do you want to touch Bulllin, you.
"I haven't woken up......
The moment I said that, Inugami-senpai reached for Bulllin's head at an unbelievable speed.
A sudden raid (?) I reflexively knock it off with my right hand.
Holding his hand and making a face of disbelief, Inugami-senpai.
It happened in a matter of seconds.
"Why?!"
"No, it's more like 'Why?' That's right. Suddenly, I reflexively knocked it down."
"He clapped the girl's hands and almost did it...... Now you're awake!"
What is it?
As I pass the gaze of Inugami-senpai, who is glaring at me with a frustrated voice, I wake up with a groan as Bulllin sleeps on my back.
Did it happen at all?
He stops the two guards walking in front of him and lowers him to the ground.
"Walk properly, okay?"
"Goo"
I can't help but sigh at Bullin, who walks on four legs and staggered feet.
He will soon wake up and be able to walk normally, so he tells the two guards that he is okay and asks them to move on.
But...
"Bulllyn, I...... I'll carry you on my back! Come on, Kamon!!"
No, really, you're really bad! The Blue Grizzly is a giant bear, and its cub, Bulllin, weighs as much as a normal wild bear living in Japan, or about the weight of two adult men.
On top of that, I'm sleeping in Bulllyn right now, so I'm mistaking it for mine and putting it on Inugami-senpai's back—
"Gufu~"
"Uh-huh--"
"Se, Senpai!?"
I thought I heard a voice that didn't sound like a flower schoolgirl, but I decided to forget it.
Sooner than that, I have to rescue Inugami-senpai, who is about to be crushed by Bulllin!
"No, I'm sorry Usato-kun, I thought it was my chance."
"I don't know what I was thinking and thinking it was an opportunity, but I don't want you to get hurt if you haven't fought."
He hurriedly left Bulllin and rescued his senior.
The senior was sturdier than I expected, but he might have injuries that I couldn't see, such as bones and internal organs, so I cast a healing spell on my way as I walked along.
"Suzune-sama, are you okay ......?"
"It's okay, Usato-kun is here, it's amazing, my body is lighter."
"Huh~"
Exercising magic while putting his hand on the senior's shoulder, there is no ulterior motive, there is not the slightest dust.
Rather, it would be more dismaying. ...... In the original world, he was supposed to be a perfect person, so how did he become like this? Has the tag that has been suppressing in the original world come off? Or did it really go wrong? Maybe this is ...... real senior.
"I wish I could, Bulllin."
"Gu~~"
He's a cute guy.
Inugami-senpai seems to be okay too, so he removes his hand from his shoulder.
...... Come to think of it, I didn't ask where I was going.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?"
At the sound of my voice, the guard turned around.
...... He's in charge of the important place of the entrance to the castle, so he's probably a pretty skilled person. Imagining such a thing, I ask him about his destination.
"Where are we going now?"
"It's near the plains where there are a lot of monsters, and it's near the forest called the Darkness of Ringle, so there are a lot of monsters."
Is it a monster coming out of the forest where I was thrown by Rose?
When I was in the woods, I mostly ran away or got by. I didn't come across too many monsters, but that forest was quite large, so there were a lot of monsters.
"How long will it take to get there?"
"That's right...... I think we'll get there by noon."
At this pace, unlike Rose, the four of us are acting alone. ...... it's natural that his steps will be slow.
However, from this route, it seems that it passes near the forest...... It's only been a few days, but I feel a little nostalgic.
In particular, Bullin is...
"Gu?"
No, I won't say no.
This guy followed me because he had something in mind. You don't have to ask, and it's just stupid to ask. There's no point in digging it up.
I was looking at Bulllin, but suddenly I was tapped on the shoulder and looked in that direction.
Sure enough, it's Inugami-senpai.
"After all, let me touch Bulllin—"
"Come on, please discipline me."
Come on. I won't help you the next time you get crushed.
●
We were going smoothly, and a few hours after leaving the kingdom, when we were approaching the forest, the two people walking in front of us suddenly stopped in their tracks.
「...... Lots of reactions forward."
"Are you a monster......?"
"It looks like something has happened."
"Sounds like it."
A person in a robe accurately captures "something" coming from the front.
Then, along with the dust and smoke in front of him, a large number of black shadows appeared. When I see it, I exclaim. What came was a bipedal creature, dressed in immaculate clothes and carrying weapons.
「......... Thieves"
"It's a bandit! Please stay with both of you!"
"Usato-kun!"
"It'...... a lie."
Inugami-senpai's first actual opponent was not a demon, but a human.
The application process was easy, so I applied for the grand prize.
