Help my mother, said the beastman girl.
- She hides a thought that makes you think that she is dignified in her eyes that seem to ...... expressionless.
And she said compensation. The price was probably for showing me some sort of foreknowledge and letting him help Inugami-senpai and Kazuki. Certainly, if it hadn't been for that foreknowledge, they might not have been able to save the two of them, and the Ringle Kingdom's army might have lost.
When I came to this understanding, I took Bullin and Inugami-senpai for the time being and moved to the dormitory of the rescue team without entering the city. I don't have anyone to talk to me on the street, and I trust everyone here. And there are very few injured people.
There's no better place to talk about secrets.
After returning Bulllyn to the hut, I led the beastman girl to the dining room and sat down, and Inugami and I sat in front of the girl.
"Well, can you tell me a story?"
"Hey, Usato-kun, I don't understand the flow of the conversation at all...... Or rather, who is this fox-eared girl? You're cute, can I pet you?"
「......... You were the only one I could rely on."
"Me, only?"
"Leave it alone...... Doesn't Usato enjoy tormenting me? Fine, if you don't mind me getting excited, do it."
Hold on, you're talking about something important right now, so wait a minute. I mean, what does it mean that I was the only one I could rely on? If you want to make a request to a healing wizard, you can ask Olga and Uluru at the infirmary ...... be quicker.
"My name is Amako, and as you can see, I'm a fox beastman. I know you, Usato, a weird person who uses healing magic."
"I'm aware I'm using it in a weird way...... Well, that's fine. I have a lot to ask you. Why...... Did you show me that?"
That is, of course, a vision of Inugami-senpai and Kazuki being killed by the Black Knight. That was the beginning of it.
Amako, the girl who bit her lips for a moment at my words, glanced anxiously at Inugami-senpai, then turned to me and opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.
"Otherwise, this kingdom would be gone, the hero would die, the kingdom would lose, and the country would die...... Everything was being overrun."
「...... What do you think?"
"Maybe you're not wrong, if Usato-kun hadn't come back then, me and Kazuki-kun would surely have died. I don't mean to be selfish, but the morale of the kingdom army would have been lowered and they would have been defeated by the Demon King army as a result."
It was quite a tightrope walk.
Is it safe to assume that I changed the fate of the battle at that time? What an executive role he was casually tasked with. My body trembles when I think about it.
「...... There are people here who have taken care of me, and above all, I couldn't afford to lose you, who I finally found."
"Is it okay to recognize that your magic is a special magic that is unique to beastmen?"
"Yes."
Perhaps the future is predicted.
It must be quite accurate.
"I knew a year ago that the battle was going to be lost, so I looked for it before it started...... ...... a user of healing magic who can heal any disease or wound."
"If you know you're going to lose, why didn't you get out of here?
"Senior, outside of the Kingdom, the beastmen are being targeted, and they probably couldn't get out even if they wanted to."
「...... Outside of this country...... No, beastmen...... That's why it's so oppressive......
He nodded slightly at my words. Perhaps, but he must have been quite scared before coming to this kingdom. I don't know where they came from, but there is a slave trade in countries outside the kingdom.
Even if he had foreknowledge, this child is a helpless child. In fact, it's amazing that you've come this far.
"I come from a country inhabited by beastmen."
"It's a long way from here......
"I didn't think it was painful, because it was to save my mother."
"Is your mother sick?"
「...... Yes, they say it can't be cured normally...... I don't wake up all the time."
That's why healers are wizards.
"Healing wizards are not born from beastmen...... Because it's magic only for humans...... But there was no one in any country who would come and cure my mother."
「......... Discrimination, ? Humans have an exclusive side......
My seniors growled like they were in trouble, but I was thinking of something different from my seniors. Amako traveled to several countries in search of a healing wizard, perhaps using her foreknowledge to overcome dangers.
If it's that easy to use, won't the powerful people in the beast country let her go easily? Amako continues to weave words as I ponder.
"But I found three of the few healing wizards...... And two of them showed me a future where they would come with me to help my mother."
"Olga, Uluru, Leader...... The three of you?"
"yes, but they came, but they didn't."
"Didn't you?"
"Because people in the clinic can't fight...... Who are you scared...... He listened to me, but he didn't come with me."
「...... Ah......h
Somehow, I was convinced, and I'm sure Olga and Uluru wouldn't be able to endure the long journey. And Rose is also the leader of an organization, and she can't leave the place without hesitation. Rather, it is possible to say "I don't believe it" and be relieved.
"That's why I got the white feather."
"You came with me, and I knew at a glance that you could change the future of the kingdom's ruin, and that you would come to my mother's aid...... That's why I showed you the future."
"It's something that can be easily shown, ...... I had a terrible headache."
"It takes a lot of magic to show it to people...... After that, we slept for three days and three nights, each other."
Is that why I couldn't find this child after that?
But if you think about it, this kid is a lifesaver for Senpai and Kazuki. In addition, it is ...... for the people of the kingdom.
I'd like to help, but this is a bigger problem than I expected, and as far as I know, the country of beastmen is a country that is exclusive to humans. As long as you don't know what position this child is in the land of the beastmen, it is better not to act rashly.
"For the time being, why don't you call the king...... I probably can't make a decision on my own. Will you come when I explain the situation to Mr. Lloyd?"
"Of course I'm going."
"Alright, let's start with the leader, stay here for now, senior."
At this time, he should be in the leader's office.
Stand up from your chair and think as you walk. Now, how do you explain ......?
●
Usato walked out of the cafeteria with a tired look on his face. In front of me, who was left behind, was Amako, a fox beastman sitting politely.
...... It's cute, what a doll this kid looks like. She was a real fox girl, could I touch her, I shouldn't touch her, I couldn't, I was about to lose myself. Dangerous, dangerous.
First of all, let's summarize what we learned from the previous conversation.
It took a lot of hard work to get here from the land of beastmen.
This child is trying to get Usato-kun to cure her mother, who is sick in the land of beastmen.
And for that reason, he showed Usato-kun the future in which we would die, and changed the history of the destruction of this kingdom.
We are trying to get them to cooperate in exchange for that.
"Couldn't you have asked Usato-kun for help without saying anything?"
「...... I used to do that before I came here, but now that I'm involved with the people here, I can't do it anymore."
"That's ......."
Ruled by the kind-hearted Lord Lloyd, this kingdom is strangely peaceful. Everyone is kind and forms their own country without discrimination. When this child came here, he must have thought that he was surrounded by enemies.
"This country is kinder to me than my hometown, and there is no discrimination and people who treat me equally...... But it's because my mother is suffering in her hometown...... I have to take Usato with me......"
A monologue that is spun in a sloppy manner. It's not like Usato was talking like he was with you, but he talks like he's scared of me somewhere. ...... Maybe I don't think well of this child.
「...... When I found Usato, I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't expect to find a way to prevent the destruction of the kingdom in this way."
"What kind of magic is your magic, and is there such a thing as future foreseeing?"
He even predicted that the battle would be lost a year ago. You should be able to see a fairly wide range.
"It's very uncertain, I can't see the future very far ahead. But when I'm sleeping, or when it's irregular...... I can see the future in a year or six months. And the future of a person who has the potential to change the future can see two different futures. Only that person can be shown to be able to choose the future."
"Cheng Cheng, so you showed Usato-kun the future where we were going to die and prevented it, but in a beastman, future prediction is a normal thing to awaken magically? It's pretty amazing magic from my point of view."
"It has to do with my bloodline."
「...... Bloodline?"
"My clan is a clan that is good at time chanting, and my mother used precognition magic, and she said that my precognition is the most amazing in the clan."
「......」
...... The beastman might be looking for this kid with bloody eyes.
This is finally getting troublesome, perhaps the reason why this child was rejected by Rose in the future he saw was because he was in some important position in the land of the beastmen. If you are offered such a story during the time when the Demon King is invading, you have no choice but to refuse.
「...... Well, it's up to Usato-kun to decide."
He's the kind of person you can't say no, I guess.
●
"The Fox Beastman asked me to come to my hometown to heal my mother?"
"That's what it's like in a nutshell."
In the leader's office, a neatly tidied room, Rose, a beautiful woman with green hair sitting on a wooden chair in front of me and holding her head, sighs annoyed when she hears about Amako.
「...... Truly, you brought a nasty problem...... I can't tell if it's a beast man...... I'm not joking with the princess of ......."
「...... The Princess of Time?"
What a nasty name!
"There are very few beastmen who handle rare magic called the Beastmen, and they have the role of predicting and communicating disasters to the beastman race...... If he's in the Ringle Kingdom...... The beastmen could be hostile to us, because their hostility towards humans is abnormal."
"Is it at this time of emergency when the Demon King's army is invading?"
"For the beastmen, humans are more of an eyesore than the Demon Lord's army."
I didn't expect Amako to be in such an important position. If I had consulted with Rose, who was good, and had gone out of the kingdom poorly, I might have been in trouble.
「...... I would like to hear your opinion."
"I'd like to say no, but I can't judge unless I ask Mr...... Lloyd to listen to me first Or rather, it will not be possible in the last few days. Mr. Lloyd is also working on coordinating with other countries."
It seems impossible to have an audience for a while, so what position should I be in? Should I ask Amako a little more...... Or do you prepare for it through training?
"In the meantime, you're training, and if Master Lloyd allows you to go to the Beastman Country, you'll be too busy defending yourself now. I'll train you again. I don't think there's anyone injured here anyway."
"I don't mind that."
Does it mean that I've gotten used to it now that I don't have a bad face here? For a moment, he seems to be discouraged by his familiarity, but he remembers that this is the leader's room where Rose is, and he stops.
I don't want to be angry at a time like this.
"Can I go to the forest of Lingle?"
"Oh, why?"
"I think I'm going to make a grave for my parents ...... Burlin."
"Graves...... You can come and go."
"What? Isn't it a bad idea? I thought that the leader of the group would be a devilish woman without blood and tears who would reject immediately."
In fact, this person would have said, 'Oh? Build around there. It's a waste of time.'
Perhaps something was wrong with my words, but Rose suddenly put on a rare smile and grabbed my face with unusual speed.
"Usato, I'm glad you're no longer holding back!"
"Oh, if you're happy, don't do the Iron Claw, it's a nickname...... Huh?"
He is lifted with one hand and struggles. What the hell did I do!? I was just being honest. After thinking about hell for a few tens of seconds, Rose finally got down and looked down at me as if she were looking at filth.
"If you want words of mercy so much, just say it, dude."
"I've had enough merciless punishment...... It's at a level where you can't recover immediately even if you use healing magic......"
How powerful this woman is, she's just an Amazon. Cursing inwardly, he gets up and turns to Rose, who has sat back in her chair.
"Get to the forest as soon as possible, and if you make a mistake, you'll be food for the monsters, right?"
"It's okay, maybe."
In case of emergency, all you have to do is run away.
It's not like Itachi ran away from the Grand Grizzly. Poison and injuries can be cured with healing magic, and if you bring a certain amount of food, you can survive without tinder.
...... I got used to that water.
"Then I'll tell the seniors and Amako who are waiting below."
"Oh."
With a bow, I left the leader's office and went downstairs. As he enters the dining room, holding his ironclawed face as Rose clutches him, he sees Inugami-senpai, who is talking to Amako with all his might.
...... Blonde hair that gives off a luster that is clearly different from the dyed one, and a body that is one size smaller than Inugami-senpai. He looks like he's about 13 or 14 years old.
I think I've come this far by myself really well.
「...... Yes, it takes a little time."
She looked at me and said. I don't know if you knew what I was going to say, but I don't need to talk about it. Inugami-senpai is very confused.
「...... We communicate with each other's eyes. Even to such a miserable child--"
"It's just going to take some time to get an audience with Mr. Lloyd, and it's definitely not going to be that criminal."
Does my senior want to make me a criminal? No, I don't know if there is a value of lolicon in this world......
My seniors were frightened by my words, and then looked away sadly at me.
"Haven't you been treating me too badly lately?
"It's okay as long as you can say that, but the reason why you became so embarrassed in the first place is that you've become friends with your seniors, right?"
「...... There's something wrong with my friend, Usato-kun."
Unlike the friendship of the seniors, who are playmates of the seniors, mine is a friend in the sense of affinity. It's better to be able to interact with them like this without hesitation than to be a senior who is a high-altitude flower like before.
"You...... What are we going to do now?"
"I didn't think I'd be able to go right away...... I'm going home today."
"Speaking of which, where do you live?"
"I'm staying at my grandmother's fruit shop."
「...... Over there."
Come to think of it, before Rose threw her into the woods, she was selling spiky fruit in town. I don't know if I used to stay there, but the fact that I've lived there now is a good thing to me.
I don't know what to do, I can go to the city now, but I don't want to train like this. But if you follow the gaze of a senior who looks at me as if you expect him next to you, .......
"I was going to go to the city too, so I'll send you there."
"Yes."
"Inugami-senpai will go too, right?"
"Of course."
I don't want to stand out, so I take off the lifeguard's jacket and put it on a chair and get into plain clothes. I'll leave him behind, it's time to go to the woods to get him to exercise. That's when you wake him up to the wild.
"Usato"
"Yes?"
As I was quietly planning the Burlin rewilding plan, Amako moved in front of me and stared into my eyes. I was thinking silly things like "The eyes of people from another world are beautiful" in their blue eyes.
"Thank you."
He said with a faint smile.
I don't know what that "thank you" is meant for.
Maybe it's to help my mother.
Maybe they'll come with you.
It could have saved the kingdom.
Maybe it's about sending it to me.
But no matter what I did, I knew what I was going to say.
"Thank you very much."
Because of this child, I didn't lose my senpai or Kazuki.
As it is, he walks toward the city with Inugami-senpai, who has a curious expression, and Amako, who is expressionless but a little light-footed.
When we arrived at the entrance of the city, Amako suddenly remembered that she turned to me and Inugami-senpai, as if to warn us.
"I forgot to tell you...... Usato and Inukami will be surrounded by everyone."
"What......?"
Saying that, Amako turns around and starts running. I was stunned for a moment when I saw her disappearing into the city at a faster speed than usual because of the beastman, and Inugami-senpai weakly tapped me on the shoulder. Shouldn't we have put on a makeshift disguise after all, but the townspeople who saw us looked delighted, and some of them began to pack what was for sale in what looked like a bag.
"Amako, I wish you had said that sooner......"
"Usato-kun, I wonder how this looks from the people around you...... Are you a lover?"
"It's a master and a servant, or rather, a little more impatient."
I don't run around the city on Date, so I know the unity of the city painfully well because I interact with the people of the city a lot.
I let out a big sigh and made up my mind about the commotion that was about to come.
