Thank you for waiting.

 

The first half is from Kazuki's point of view

 

The second half is from the protagonist's point of view.

Tomorrow morning, as he gazes out over this vast plain, he places his trembling right hand on the sword given to him by the king.

 

"Are you okay...... ......'ll be fine."

 

As if to say it to yourself, you hum the words to distract your anxiety.

The war began at the same time as the shadow of the Demon King's army appeared. To be honest, I don't think the Demon King's army should come. If you don't come, you don't have to fight, and you don't have to lose the people you met in this world.

 

As a hero, my role and my seniors is to intercept enemy soldiers with magic at the start of the war, pave the way to the enemy general with friendly soldiers, and kill the enemy general if possible. If possible...... Be. Sigurd emphasized this...... Probably out of concern for us. As a corps commander, he felt guilty for sending us, former civilians, into battle.

 

"Kazuki-kun, don't overdo it, if you don't want to fight, go backwards--"

 

The senior next to me tells me to work.

 

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

"That being said......

"Aren't you worried about a lot of things as seniors?"

"I'm feeling anxious...... But hey, what do you say at a time like this...... Honestly, it's uplifting."

 

Enhancement? In the original world, I followed her as a vice president, but I have never seen many seniors use such vague words.

However...... Somehow, I understand what my seniors are trying to say. That's why I'm --

 

"I don't know how you feel."

"Hehe, I guess so...... According to Usato, I'm a "weird person." I just have a different head."

"Weird person, did Usato say that?"

 

How could Usato say such a thing to his seniors?

 

"Oh, just when me and Usato-kun went missing...... Well, it's not something to talk about right now. I'll talk to you when I get home safely."

"When I get back...... Is it?"

"Do you have a reason to leave?"

 

A senior smiling at me.

Even in the midst of such a tense situation, this person is probably the only one who can put on such an expression. At worst, it would be said that there is no tension...... At best, it's reliable.

 

"yes, and...... I've got people waiting for me to come home."

「...... Kazuki-kun, I think that line is a little bad."

"What do you mean?"

"What!? Oh, I don't care...... Well, you don't have to worry about it."

 

Suddenly, her expression turned blue, and she couldn't hide her doubts as she shifted her eyes to the plains. Did I say something strange?

- The moment she tries to question her, who is a little suspicious, a strong chill that envelops her body runs through her whole body. I involuntarily look beyond the plains.

However, there is still no sign of the Demon King's army. ...... But I know it's getting closer.

The seniors are also staring at the end of the plain with a tense face.

 

"Senior!"

「...... You're here."

 

Perhaps Sigurd is aware of this.

In fact, as soon as he felt the chills, a messenger was sent to each of the troops. As planned, soldiers specializing in magic begin to appear in the vanguard.

 

「...... We'll be ready."

"I know!"

 

Breathe slowly and deeply to adjust your breath and increase your magic.

My magic is light...... I'm not sure how effective this magic will be on the Demon Lord's army...... I'll do as much as I can. Accustom your body to the sensation of power circulating throughout your body.

After all, it's something I'm not used to. I don't know how to feel magic.

 

"Our kingdom army will fight to the best of our ability to defeat the Demon King's army!"

 

Sigurd, who is in command in the rear, raises his voice to boost the morale of the soldiers. In response to his voice, the soldiers' eyes gradually became sharper.

 

"For our king's sake! For the Ringle Kingdom!!"

 

At some point, the anxiety disappeared in their eyes, and they raised their voices with Sigurd, who was inspiring the soldiers. It is a spectacular sight to see about 1,500 soldiers screaming as if the earth was shaking.

 

「.........」

 

In the midst of the hustle and bustle that makes my eardrums tremble loudly, a black shadow appears on the hillside of the plain. The shadow is very small, and maybe it's because it's so far away, but it's a pitch-black shadow that reminds me of darkness.

 

"What...... That'......."

 

Gradually, the shadows increase as if an avalanche is falling.

Their appearance is clearly different from that of humans, their appearances are different, and although they have some things in common, they are more different in many ways. Some have horns, while others have brown skin.

But none of them ...... It was in the form of a person.

 

"It's a lie...... They're not much different from humans, ......."

 

"They" came from the depths of the plains and rushed towards us with weapons raised, shouting in the same anger as here.

I thought it looked more like a monster. He's got six arms, a lot of heads, and he's like an amoeba that doesn't even have a shape to begin with...... Can you attack them? It looks like a person...... You should be able to attack such a thing.

 

"Preparing ――――――― Magic Unit!!"

 

"Huh!?"

 

Sigurd's loud voice brought me back to reality, and I shook my head as if to shake off the weak thoughts that came to my mind, and turned my attention to the Demon Lord's army that was galloping towards me.

 

"We're the spears, can you do it?"

"I'll do it...... I have no choice but to do it!!"

 

Turn your palm forward, converging your magic.

I've used it against monsters, but it's the first time I've used it against people in human form...... But if you get lost, you will be killed. You have to do it.

 

"Don't feel bad......

 

The magic-wielding soldiers who were waiting in the vanguard also joined us and began to hold their palms forward to release their magic.

Once you're within range, you'll unleash a burst of magic.

　

"The first move has to be flashy and hard."

 

The seniors are also spraying lightning from their whole bodies. She seems to be ready.

I can cast magic at any time...... The rest of the troops were ready. Preparations for this interception have been completed...... Still, the Demon King's legs are still unstoppable. The reckless march was like a kamikaze attack.

 

"Release with a signal!!"

 

The distance between the Demon King's army and the kingdom army is getting smaller and smaller. I couldn't back down, I clenched my teeth, my eyes widened, and I--

 

"Let it go!!!

 

"Oooo

 

With all his might, he unleashes a glowing white light magic forward. After a short delay, the magic of various strains released by the kingdom army rushed to the Demon King's army.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

「...... Has it begun?"

 

A loud explosion was heard outside. And loud shouts and noises can be seen as signals for the start of war.

At present, we rescue teams are lined up in a line in front of Rose, the leader of the group.

 

"I think you know...... The healing magic bearers will wait here for the time being, and the black-clad bearers will bring the wounded on the battlefield first."

"Hey!!"

 

Tough-faced men in black jackets shout loudly.

But isn't the design of these clothes strange? What is the color black in clothes that resemble a jacket...... He's a complete criminal. Honestly, if you get caught by these guys, won't everyone cry?

 

"Ash Suit is active here from beginning to end, but in case of emergency, run away."

"Yes!!"

 

Olga and Uluru were dressed in grey clothes similar in shape to Rose and me.

These two are the two important people who play a central role in this place.

 

"So, you and I will go to the front line as the battle progresses."

"I understand."

"Okay, let's get started...... Tongs, Alec, Mil, Gomulle, Gourdo, I've got you covered."

 

"Hey!"

"Heh, then go, come back alive like last time."

 

Both of them are tough and raise their voices.

These guys may not need to worry, but there is still a bit of anxiety. These guys are going to be killed by the Demon Lord's army...... yes, I don't.

Tongs jumping out of the doorway with a slapstick. After seeing them, we waited in the tent for the time being.

 

"Are you okay with Senpai and Kazuki...... It's safe to say that the battle has already begun......

"Are you worried about your friends?"

"Mr. Uluru...... I'm worried about that, because we're friends."

"I ...... I'm worried about Usato-kun~"

"What do you mean by that--"

 

Just as she was about to question her words, a tough-faced man hurriedly entered the tent.

The man is Tong, one of the members of our rescue team. She walks towards us, effortlessly carrying a crying woman on her shoulders.

 

"I've brought you!!"

"'Hurry!?'"

 

Uluru's voice is heard.

No, it's not even five minutes into the battle.

 

"Of course, it's war, that's normal...... More to come. Tongs, leave that to Usato, and bring the next injured man."

"Hey, Usato, I asked for it."

"Oh, wow."

 

From the tongs, a female soldier is entrusted to her. What is the condition...... His shoulders and legs are deeply scarred by knives.

 

"Ugh...... Face, scary ......"

"Poor thing, I'm sure you're crying in pain...... Yes, it must be. It's okay, the pain is gone."

"Usato-kun, don't look away from reality......"

 

I can't hear you.

For some reason, he relentlessly refuses the female soldier who tries to cling to me, while holding his hand over the wound and pouring healing magic into it. If the wound is this large, it will heal quickly.

It heals the wound in just a few seconds.

 

"Are you okay?"

「...... You...... Oh, yes, after being injured in a fight...... The operation failed...... The Demon King's army that came to attack with phantom magic ...... A large monster with a black enemy...... I'm stunned--"

"Calm down a bit."

 

His memory seems to be clouded by the shock. It's temporary...... Failed operations, hallucinatory magic, large monsters, and black enemies.

...... Black enemies...... Dressed in black armor

 

"Whew!!"

 

Throbbing pain runs through my head. What is reproduced in the brain is a vision shown to the daughter of a beastman.

Why do I remember this scene now...... It's as if really--

 

"It's like Kazuki and Senpai are going to die...... Whew."

"Usato-kun!

"Ah~~~!

 

I'm sure it'll be fine, if it's Kazuki and Senpai. They're so much stronger than me. It's not that easy.

But what if...... If their lives were in danger, I--

 

"I have no choice but to do it."

 

It's my job to heal injuries, and it's also my job to save the lives of my teammates...... It's my job.
