I changed the plot slightly.
My vision of the future is uncertain.
Even if you can see it normally, it is not enough to do so, and it is impossible unless you have a strong magic power on the spot, and even if you can see it for more than a year with a sudden precognition, I don't know the timing. There are two special futures for those who have the possibility of divergence...... It doesn't help much.
Unstable but quite useful magic on a day-to-day basis. But I haven't been grateful for this magic much since I was born.
I didn't understand my magic until I was seven years old. I knew what was going to happen, and the dreams I had in my sleep started to happen in reality, and unusual things started to happen to me. Of course, I was delighted. I was proud of what a great power it was.
But my mother ...... I told him not to tell anyone about the magic. My power is stronger and more dangerous than my mother's, so I want to make sure that I don't get targeted by anyone who wants to use it.
Maybe it's because I was a child, but I don't really understand why? I still vividly remember my mother saying, "It's a gift from God, use it for you."
My mother is an amazing person. He can see into any future, and his predictions have never been wrong. The King of the Beastmen and the adults around him celebrated his mother and his family. As a child, I didn't hate it, but my mother didn't look so good.
Life without any inconvenience.
Envious glances from those around you.
The happiness of being able to be with my mother, whom I love.
That's why I wanted to help my mother. I thought it would be nice to use this power to help my mother, so when I was 10 years old, I asked my mother again if she could use magic. And she said—
"Don't be like me......"
I still can't forget the look on my mother's face when she said that. He hugged me painfully with a sad expression as if he were saying goodbye in this life...... He was holding his forehead painfully.
And a few days later...... My mother is--
"Amako-chan!"
"Huh."
Noticing a familiar husky voice, he looks up. In front of you, you can see the waves of people walking on the main streets of the city and the large, spiky fruit called apachecho, which is a specialty of the Lingle Kingdom. Yes, I was working as a store keeper now......
"Are you okay, Amako-chan?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sarlat...... I was bored."
Actually, I was sleeping, but I don't want to worry about it unnecessarily, so I'll keep quiet for the time being. Mr. Sarlat is the person who came to this country and picked me up, and he is my benefactor.
To be honest, I was in tatters when I came here...... Luckily, I jumped into the carriage I found, but I ran out of strength and fell asleep. The next time I woke up, I was lying on a bed at Mr. Sarlat's house.
I heard later that he had gotten into a horse-drawn carriage full of apaches to be purchased at Mr. Sarlat's shop. At that time, I didn't know such a thing, and I was distrustful of people and had an extraordinary hostility towards Mr. Sarlat.
But...
"Are you sure you're okay, are you going to rest today?"
"Oh, no...... It's okay."
I was saved by this person and the people of the city. I've been hiding and running and running and running and running away, but this place is different. I've been to a lot of human countries...... It was the first time I had seen a country so different from the rest of the world.
That's why I'm here...... I don't want to leave.
I don't want to go back to my hometown, where my mother is trying to help me, and to that country that is trying to use my power. But he wants to save his mother, because that's why he left the country to find a healing wizard.
But to go to a country where there are people who are trying to get into the habit of "throwing away" my mother.
"Oh, isn't it Usato-sama?"
"What?"
When I turned my gaze toward the main street at Mr. Sarlat's words, I saw a large bag? A blue grizzly carrying something like ...... Bulllin? You can see Usato walking towards the gate leading to the outside with the demon that says.
"He's just a normal kid no matter where you look at it...... But it's true that my nephew was saved because of him......
"I don't think it's normal."
"Hahahaha! But that's normal for the life-saving team led by Lady Rose."
I wonder how terrible the rescue team did before I came. At least I was entrusted with this job about a year ago, and it's not like I'm always in charge of the store, so I've only seen Usato practice, but .......
...... If you think about it, all you know is that you have seen Usato with a premonition and that you have seen him running in this place.
It's only recently that I've spoken to him face-to-face, and I only know a pretty rough thing about Usato, such as his ability to use healing magic and his amazing physical abilities. I know he's a kind person like Sarulah, but somewhere in my heart, I don't believe in Usato. I wonder if they will betray me at some point, or if they will try to sell me by hand.
A deep-rooted and fundamental fear in my heart refuses to make Usato believe me.
「...... Mr. Sarlat, hey Usato...... Can I follow you?"
I don't think we can go on like this.
I'm sure Usato understands the dangers of going to my hometown to heal my mother. Still, it's no good for me, who is in a position to be helped by him, to not believe Usato. Just as Mr. Sarlat and everyone else in the city have walked up to me, I ...... have to learn to come to a compromise myself.
"Oh, by the way, we were talking yesterday. Amako asked Usato-sama to heal her mother. It's okay, go and you'll be fine with Usato-sama."
"yes."
"But don't overdo it."
Fortunately, today was not a day with too many people. I hurried back to my room, getting ready to go outside, and headed for where Usato, who would have gone to the gate, was.
At that time, don't forget to say a word to Mr. Sarlat.
I never imagined that I could walk in front of a human without hiding my ears and tail, but now I can run in a normal place where people are, even if I am wary. Just when he thinks about what would happen if his friends back home found out, he realizes that he doesn't even deserve to see his friends back home anymore, and sighs as if to disappear.
After a short drive down the road that leads to the gate, you can see the backs of Usat and Bulllin.
"Wait."
「......... Hmm? Isn't it an amako, what's the matter?"
"Guo?"
When I stopped him, he turned around and tilted his head curiously, even though he had a large backpack. I approached Usato's side a little hesitantly, indicating my intention to follow him.
"Eh, do you want to follow me?
"Where are you going?...... There are demons...... Forest?"
The image of the prescient reflected in his field of vision reveals where Usato is going. A monster forest called "Darkness of Ringle" where there are many monsters. There, Usat is about to head there with Bulllin.
"After all, it's convenient to know in advance."
Saying this, Usat told me the purpose of going to the forest. I thought it was such a large luggage and important business, but it was simply to build a grave for the Grand Grizzly and Blue Grizzly, the parents of Burlin.
When a demon dies, its magical power becomes a demon and returns to the earth. Then, the demon element transforms into a new monster and forms a kind of ecosystem by repeating it.
According to the idea, death for a demon is not death. But regardless of such thoughts, Usat is trying to make a tomb for Burlin's mother and father.
"I'm going too."
"It's going to be late, isn't ...... and the people in the store ...... worried?"
"As long as I'm here, the demons won't attack me, I know when they're coming, and I'm capable of fighting them in my own way, and my aunt said that if I stay with Usato, I'll be fine......"
"Even if I say it's okay...... Well, it's really dangerous. ...... Bulllin"
Usato, who calls out Bulllin's name and makes eye contact, speaks to Bulllyn in a voice that I can barely hear. ...... It seems that he is telling me to protect him, but the bulllyn only squeals with a smile on his face.
Unable to see Usato standing up, I approached him and lightly touched his head.
「...... It's a lie...... Oh, Bulllin."
Somehow, Usato couldn't be more surprised, but Bulllin, on the other hand, squints his eyes and strokes him pleasantly, just like he does when he's with Usato.
We beastmen can read the general emotions of monsters and animals from the slightest remnants of beasts, but this child is very quiet and trusts Usato very much.
"Cheng Cheng, you react to evil emotions, Bulllyn."
"Gua~!"
"Does that mean Inugami-senpai and Uluru-san are out...... You're the only one who has ever allowed me to stroke you. It's like I was intimidated and stalked and stroked...... That's right."
Usato nodded in agreement. However, as if he had come up with something, Usato, who approached me, said, "I'm sorry," and then lifted me up who was stroking Bulllin and put me on the back of Bulllin, who stood up with his sleigh and limbs.
"There's no danger in this, maybe."
「......」
Is Usato actually simple? I'll keep it to my heart that I was about to say that. I shouldn't have told him that I'm faster or anything like that, because I'm sure Usato would be worried about ...... thing.
Instead of straddling Bulllin's back, I leaned on him and put my hand on his back, which was surprisingly stable. Soft and sturdy body hair, the son of the Grand Grizzly, the king of the forest and the pinnacle of the demon bear.
If you think about it, it can be said that it is abnormal for such a magical beast to follow Usato, who is a human. I wonder why he is following Usato, and I try to pet Bulllin, but all I hear in return is a pleasant meow.
"Then let's go, I'd like to be back by the end of the day if possible."
Usato, who had re-shouldered his luggage, moved at a light pace towards the gate leading outside. Hurlin begins to walk along with Usato.
I swayed and swayed, but it wasn't that hard, and it was very similar to the feeling of being rocked on a horse. It's a pleasant .......
"Hi Usato."
"Oh, Usato-sama, what can I do for you today?"
"Actually, I have something to do outside...... I have also received permission from the leader."
Usato, who handed the guard what looked like a letter, looked at it, nodded with a smile, and instructed the other guard behind him to open the door.
"Yes, I've checked, I'm sure Usato-sama will be fine, but please be careful."
"Well, Mr. Thomas, thank you, didn't you?"
He thanks the guard who called him Thomas, and he beckons to him and walks out of the gate. When I stepped out of the gate on the bulllin, the door closed vigorously, and the surroundings instantly showed a tranquility that was far from the kingdom.
In it, Usato stretches his arms and legs for some reason and stares into the distance. Why are you doing preparatory exercises? I would like to ask, but there are many more things I want to ask Usato.
It's too selfish, but I want to find out who Usato is. I ...... whether I can trust him in the true sense of the word.
"Usato"
"Hmm...... What's going on?"
"Tell me about your conversation with Bulllin."
"I don't care if it's Bulllynn and me...... Why?"
"I trust you so much."
When he said that, Usato, who looked at Bullin with a happy expression, had no bad feelings in his eyes. He is genuinely happy to be adored by Bulllin.
Usato, who is in a slightly better mood, bends and stretches his legs as if he were ringing, and then takes a deep breath while stretching his back. He makes a small jump on the spot and then turns his gaze to me and Bulllin, pointing in the direction we are going.
"Come on, Amako, hold on tight to Bulllin. I'm going to take care of it because I'm in line with Bulllin, but I'm going to stick to it so that it doesn't happen, okay?"
「...... What? Usato, what are you talking about? Are you going to run from here?"
Isn't it as if we are going to run from here? That's impossible, at least in a place where it's hours away from a short run. It would be strange to go out of your way to reduce your physical strength when there is a risk of being attacked there.
Surely?????? I'm not kidding that I'm going home today, I'm serious......
"What? That's what I'm saying."
Even a beastman who is so good at running must be quite tired from traveling long distances, but this man is really trying to run. For the time being, he secretly tries to predict the future, but he is confused by the scene that will come in a few seconds.
"Then I'll go, Bulllin...... Run, Korra!!"
"Geaa
"Kya-......."
He hurriedly straddles Bulllyn and grabs the hair on Bulllin's back. At Usato's sudden yell, Bullin starts running and moves away from the castle gate at once.
There is also a blue grizzly, and the speed of running is considerable, and creatures that walk on four legs are fast, and humans who walk on two legs ...... different in terms of body construction.
"At this pace, I think I can get there in a little over an hour......
"Huh!?"
Usato is running side by side with a blank face. I heard on the street that the training of the rescue team emphasizes running, but when I saw it, I couldn't believe it.
It's certainly different from any healing wizard I've ever seen in other countries. In any country, there were few people who had a unique personality due to discrimination based on the superiority or inferiority of magic...... In addition, there were even passages that regularly abhorred their own healing magic, and some even tried to catch me and sell me to slavers the moment they saw me.
With that in mind, in terms of personality, Usato couldn't be more suitable, and his body is strong enough to withstand the journey.
"Are you okay Bullin?"
"Grua!!"
Perhaps because I was able to run in nature for the first time in a long time, I was kicking the ground with joy in my heart. In the meantime, I'm on my back, and I'm enduring the shaking.
"Alright, let's go as fast as we ......."
"Why is it normal...... Can I run...... Wow."
- While desperately grabbing on Bulllin, she uses her voice to direct her doubts to Usato, who is running alongside. Usato tilts his head as he runs, wondering what he was thinking, and looks at me curiously.
"Isn't that what you're doing as a beastman......?"
"It's not like I'm a beastman, but what I'm amazed at is that there are people who run so fast...... Whew!"
"There's a lot of people who are faster than me...... Now I'm back in shape after running with Bulllin, so I shouldn't be running that fast."
On the contrary, he is surprised by Usato, who has a seriously surprised expression.
What kind of perception did the beastmen have? Rather, it is insane to say that it is clearly exceeding the speed of humans and returning to form.
"I ...... the definition of a person is going to be overturned."
With that in mind, I put my face close to the fur of the bulllin to protect myself from the gusty wind and waited until I reached my destination, the forest.
"Speaking of which, I want to ask you about your encounter with Bulllin--"
"I'm sorry, I'm fine now."
Usato wasn't like the other healing wizards, but he didn't want her to be different from his general sensibilities either.
I was surprised to see this novel in ...... daily ranking.
Thank you so much for reading.
Thank you for the second chapter.
