We built the graves of our parents in Burlin and were able to return safely from the forest by the time the sun went dark. For the time being, I explained the situation to Mr. Sarla, the guardian of the amako, but at that time, I ...... that I received a spiky fruit called apachecho that I couldn't hold.

I thought it would be a bad idea to refuse, so I took it back to the emergency team's dormitory and gave it to Alec, and it came out as dessert for tonight's dinner. As expected, he's a decent guy among the cooking and tough-faced guys of the rescue team. Compared to the guy who makes the dramatics, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

 

And today, I was at the training ground with Rose. Weights are always attached to the training uniforms of the lifesaving team, and they do preparatory exercises so that they can train at any time. On the other hand, Rose, who was quietly crossing her arms in front of me, looked at me earlier and had a thoughtful look on her face.

 

"I don't think I'm going to train for the first time in a long time...... I don't have anything to say about healing magic."

"What? But I don't think we can cure diseases or complicated things yet......"

"That's something you can do on your own once you get used to it, but you can't do it now anyway."

 

If you are told that you can't do it clearly, you can give up. So, what should we do? Do you mean to just do muscle training? I ran yesterday and my body is generally back in shape, but I've also gained a lot of strength and strength.

 

"Physically and physically...... It's a good point, but for the time being, it's okay."

 

Correction, it seems that I am not good enough in front of Rose.

How far does this person want me to go?

 

"So what do I need to do?"

 

As she says this, Rose steps away from me for a moment, wraps her arms around me and starts doing some preparatory exercises. I don't know what it is, but I have a very bad feeling.

 

"I'm going to beat you now."

「......... Aha, you're joking."

"I'm going to hit you too fast you can't react now, dodge or prevent it."

"You don't like me, do you!?

 

In the back of my mind, the image of a snake whose head was smashed by Rose comes to mind. If I were to eat that power that easily pierced through those scales that I felt wouldn't work on, a person of normal strength would definitely be a dead end.

 

"You're relying too much on healing magic, well, I'm the one who trained you that way...... It's time to take the next step."

 

Is there such an unreasonable step-up? When he tries to escape like a rabbit, he is immediately grabbed by the hood and prevented from doing so.

 

"No, I don't like it--I'm going to be killed! Didn't you see the future of Amakokko?!?

"If you're going outside, you're a little too vulnerable、...... Until now, I had managed to get away with tearing and rashing, but healing magic doesn't work on curses that act on wounds...... Learn to dodge."

 

I'm not even confident that I can avoid it before dodging, but I don't even stop because the level I can't react to is speed = power, maybe this person has healing magic.

 

"Well, I'm not an ogre either, I'll do it lightly at first."

"No, it's no good when you try to hit your subordinates in the first place............ Oh, I'm sorry."

"Oh yes, I really want you to do it!" I'm glad you're so keen on training!!"

 

Why did my mouth move regardless of my will? Rose shook her hand wide as she held me, laughing blankly at the gesture as she put on her all-powerful healing magic.

He was thrown to the ground about 10 meters away with a momentary feeling of floating, but he twisted his body and landed at the last minute, and at the same time protected his heart, stomach, and face with both arms.

 

"That's why I'm not defending."

"It's ridiculous―――――

 

At that moment, the biggest shock of my life hits my body as if sewing through the gap between my arms. At the same time, the place where the fist was shot was pierced, and at the same time, the vision shifted as if the surroundings rotated as if the top and bottom were reversed, and a feeling of floating attacked.

 

Maybe I'll tell you later.

I couldn't have been more shocked.........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Huh!?"

 

When I got up, I found myself under a tree in the training ground. The shade of the trees gently envelops me...... It's a good feeling. Yes, there was no (one-sided) rehearsal with Rose.

Maybe it's too much training. What a nightmare. Recently, the impression of Rose, which has been dispelled, has deteriorated considerably. I don't...... Uluru also said that he was a vulnerable person if I was scared all the time, yes.

 

"Wake up, then I'll do it again."

 

......... Stop escapism.

It was real, and it was a delusion that I didn't think or what Uluru said. Let's face reality.

That would make it a little easier.

 

「......... Yes."

 

Yeah...... I know I can't dismiss it as a dream just because I don't have any physical abnormalities. As expected, Rose is a master who cares perfectly. He's a terrible mentor for me.

I can't do it, so I want someone to replace me.

 

"Don't worry, I just adjusted it, there is nothing wrong with your body, right?"

「...... Thank you very much."

 

I've always thought that you are really a monster.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end, he continued to receive Rose's fist that day. A few times I felt like I could avoid it, but each time Rose increased the speed of his fist and punched me from one end of the training ground to the other. I'm scared that I'm messing with this, but...... Endurance has increased.

 

After two or three days, it was no longer possible. I feel like I can withstand a lot of attacks. If you think about it in the original world, I feel like it's a mess even if you get a missile.

 

I mean, I'm 170 tall, right? I also have a decent amount of weight...... If you have a fist that can from one end of the training ground to the other, or even enough distance to jump over it, I won't be afraid of any powerful attack. In the second half, the moment I focused on dodging, I got a critical hit...... I think you've forgotten the purpose of that person's training.

 

―――Four days after training with Rose, I went to the castle to take a break to rest my body. The reason I was given the day off was because Rose seemed to be able to do some errands and had a day off to train.

I came to the castle because I was given a day off, but I didn't have anything in particular to do, so I went to the person I was interested in.

 

"So, the leader of the gang is terrible, punch me up."

『...... Why are you here?'

"No, I don't know what you're doing."

 

It is the black knight who is glaring at me who complains in front of the cage. He sits in the corner of the prison in a thick black armor without exposing his true face like before.

...... She seems to have been quiet since then, but the people of the kingdom are said to be deciding how to treat the Black Knight. There seems to be a radical opinion that if it is dangerous, it will be dismissed, but it seems that Mr. Lloyd stubbornly refuses to give permission.

It can be said that Mr. Lloyd's judgment is naïve, but I personally agree with him. I don't want the death penalty or anything like that to happen in this peaceful country.

Also, there may have been some injuries caused by the Black Knight, but most of them were recovered and healed by me and the Rescue Team. It may have been fortunate that the battle between Inugami-senpai and Kazuki was long.

 

"What are you going to do now?"

『...... Not in particular...... I'm just here.'"

"Is that okay?"

"That's not for me to decide, it's for you to decide."

 

That's true, but what will really happen? Well, I'm the one who captured him, so I'm somewhat responsible, and that's why I care. I really don't want to get the death penalty for that.

 

"You're ......."

"Hmm?"

『...... It's nothing, get out quickly.'

「...... Hah, I get it."

 

He does as he is told, stands up and leaves the cage.

Is it a good idea to talk to Rose once? But Rose seemed to be doing something about the Black Knight, and maybe I didn't need to do anything.

 

As he moves around the castle while pondering, he finds a shadow swinging a sword outside the castle. That's probably Kazuki. I decided to give him a glimpse of him as he wielded his sword, so I moved out of the castle.

When he gets closer, he sees Kazuki, who is out of breath as he makes the sound of cutting the wind.

 

"Hmph!"

 

Kazuki seems to be doing his best. When I moved to the shade of the tree, thinking that I shouldn't disturb him, there was Celia-sama who was smiling and looking at Kazuki, who was pretending.

 

"Oh, Usato-sama."

"Hello, Celia-sama, since when did Kazuki do this?"

"It's been about an hour, and I'm starting to worry about my physical fitness...... After all, is the battle with the Demon King's army resonating...... Since then, I feel like I've been training even more enthusiastically."

"There's something wrong with that...... Isn't training something that grinds you?"

「...... Um, are you okay? I'm scared of my eyes......"

 

Eye? I wonder what happened to my eyes. For some reason, he looks at Kazuki with a blue face and a wry smile on his face. The appearance of swinging an iron sword is a mess, and I ...... Kazuki must be doing his best.

 

"Is that ......?"

 

Kazuki noticed me next to Celia-sama. He put his sword back in its sheath and ran towards him, picking up the cloth he had placed nearby and wiping the sweat off his face.

 

"It's been a long time!"

"I've been busy with training for a while."

 

I don't know if I can call it training.

 

"Inugami-senpai told me that he is trying to go to the Beastman Country for the sake of the beastman children who live in this country."

"I'm going to have to let Lloyd judge that, but I'd like to help him if I can."

"That's what ...... meant."

 

Celia-sama looks at me and Kazuki with a look of intention. As Lloyd's daughter, she might know all sorts of things.

 

"Usato-sama's wish to go to the land of the beastmen will be fulfilled, albeit probably."

「......... Wait a minute. It's that simple. You're going to have to worry a little bit more."

 

It's only been about a week, but it's decided to go to such a stage. No, it's too early, maybe there's something to it.

 

"Father is trying to send a letter to the other nations to fight against one threat, the Demon Lord's army, and unfortunately we were not able to get any cooperation in the battle before Kazuki-sama, Inukami-sama, and Usato-sama arrived...... It's a little bit different in the last battle."

"......'s a different situation?"

"We succeeded in repelling the Demon Lord's army, but when we opened the lid, it was a tough victory even with the power of Kazuki-sama and Inukami-sama, and in addition, the original casualties must have been immeasurable."

"If it hadn't been for Usato's help, I'd ...... on the spot."

 

At that point, Kazuki held his mouth shut. I wonder what's going on, when I'm worried about Celia next to me, I didn't tell Celia that I almost died?

...... Well, what we should be thinking about more is the letter that Master Lloyd is about to send. If Amako's story wasn't a lie, then it's safe to say that the previous battle was a battle she was destined to lose.

If you warn the surrounding countries about the dangers of the Demon Lord's army, they may be able to lend a hand.

 

「......... But it would be difficult to live in a country with beastmen...... He probably hates humans, and if he can help Amako's mother, that's fine......

"It hasn't been decided yet, but it doesn't change the fact that we will be sending letters to each country, and it may cause a lot of trouble for Usato-sama......"

"I'm also indebted to this country, so it's a lot of hard work."

 

It's going to be a lot easier than training with Rose. ...... I feel like my criteria are training with Rose...... It's not the wrong standard, so it's okay.

 

"Well, I'm sure the details will come from Master Lloyd, so I'll wait and see if you can train until then, and I'll be back soon."

"Well, are you going home already?"

"Fufufu, Kazuki-sama, and Usato-sama must be busy too."

 

It's not like I'm busy today, but seeing Kazuki training made me feel like I had to do something. He didn't think that his role of going to the Beastman Country to cure Amako's mother would turn into something that would ask for the cooperation of other countries.

 

However, we know that it will play an important role in the fight against the Demon Lord's army. This is the front line, so to speak, the closest country to the territory controlled by the Demon King, and that is why we need the help of other countries.

 

Perhaps, but I don't know yet the threat posed by the Demon Lord's invasion.

Right now, this country is in the early stages of the Otherworld Summoning, where the people of the world, who have forgotten the threat of the Demon Lord, are learning about the horror and threat.

Kazuki and Inugami-senpai and ...... If it weren't for Amako, she might have been a beacon of threat from the Demon King.

 

「...... Now, Kazuki-sama, can you tell me more about what you just said?"

"Haha...... I'm sorry."

 

I smiled bitterly as I listened to the two of them answering questions from behind me, but my feet naturally turned toward the rescue team's training ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today, that healing wizard, Usato, has arrived.

He complained to me endlessly, and then walked away. I wonder what he wanted to do, whether he had come to see if I would run away.

I don't want to run away because even if I run away, I'll be chased by both the kingdom and the Demon King's army.

 

However, when it comes to the death penalty, it becomes hmm.

If you are restrained to seal the magic power, you will be nullified without any help, but it is kind of annoying to be killed unnecessarily. If he's about to be killed, I'll kill him before the healing magic comes along.

 

『......... I think about it, but ...... to see."

 

What are these people here? They don't torture and the security is lax. Are you willing to lock them up? It's very frustrating that it's so strict. I don't know if you want me to come out or not.

 

If you think about it, the funniest thing is Usato.

Healed my injuries, came all the way to see me, and acted like a crazy person.

 

"What are we going to do now......?"

 

Untie your armor and expose your skin to the outside air. Feeling comfortable in the prison air, which is neither warm nor cold, he leans his back against the wall behind him and thinks.

Even if you return to the Demon Lord's army, your boring daily life will only return, but even if you stay here, you will only be locked in a prison. That's fine, but I don't like the fact that Usato comes to see me every time. I didn't have anyone to treat me like that, so I was a little uncomfortable today.

 

「......？」

 

From the top of the stairs in front of the prison, you can hear someone descending the stairs. Is it a knight on guard? No, they are always wearing armor, so you should be able to hear their unique metallic sounds. But all you hear is footsteps.

 

He uses his magic to form armor to cover his head and glare at the back of the stairs.

――――What I saw was a white coat shining in the darkness and a green-haired woman wearing it. I don't know who it is, but from the wound on one eye, the characteristics match the person called the leader that Usato was complaining about earlier. He is a human whom the Third Corps Commander was wary of, and a healing wizard other than Usato.

 

"Okay."

『.........』

 

Rescue Team, Leader Rose.

 

"Why don't you come when Lloyd asks you to do it...... Fair enough...... He's a silent guy."

"What did you come here for?"

 

Rose grabbed a wooden chair used by a nearby guard and moved it to the front of the prison, and sat roughly, the corners of her mouth twisted and she looked at me.

His eyes are so strong that he can tell that he is truly Usato's superior officer.

 

"I'm going to give you two choices."

『......』

"One is to spend the rest ......of my life here, and that's fine, but Master Lloyd has offered me another alternative."

 

Fold the two fingers and show the erect index finger to you. What the hell do you want to say? Are you going to kill me, ...... me.

 

"If you're going to kill, kill it."

"Come on, don't be impatient, you're impatient.

 

The woman in front of her, who stood up casually, opened the door of the cage with the key she took out of her pocket and entered the cage. Rose, who was standing in front of me as I sat down, looked down at me .......

 

"The alternative that Master Lloyd has come up with, which is very troublesome, is that I will crush your and turn you into a true demon instead of a true human."

 

 

『.................. Huh? You're not stupid, are you?!"

 

 

In an instant, a tremendous impact struck his head and the armor disappeared in an instant. Feeling the tears welling up reflexively, I look up and see Rose looking down at me with her hand in the shape of a sword, looking down at me in admiration.

 

"Cheng Cheng, the healing magic really works...... But either way, it's in the way right now."

 

The pain is fine, but the armor can be lifted with a twitchy head. What the hell, this woman, dangerous, there weren't many people in the demon tribe who were so violent. Perhaps because he wore healing magic that was more powerful than Usato's, the armor he grabbed instantly dissipated along with the armor on his chest. With nothing left to grab, Rose grabs the collar of her clothes as it is, and in an instant, something snaps into her neck.

At the same time as he felt discomfort in his neck, most of the magic flowing from the center of his body stopped, and all of his armor disappeared.

 

"Hey, stop......

 

A magic tool that seals magical power. It was supposed to be a rare tool, but because it was put on so casually, I panicked a little and squirmed as if frightened by the woman in front of me.

 

"To be honest, you don't have a veto, this country doesn't have enough time to be in Temeje right now. So I'm going to take you without permission."

"Oh, that's a lie......

"Be prepared for the fact that from today onwards I will crush you in the bottom of the lifeguard."

 

It's too rapid to keep up. I mean, this country wasn't naïve. I felt a feeling of fear that I had never had before for Rose, who was carrying herself lightly and going up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"It's time to go full circle!"

"Grr

 

When I returned to the training ground, I was running with Bulllin. I always run with healing magic, but this time I tried to run without using healing magic.

I don't have a particular reason for this, but I've recently learned that the best part of training is to try various things.

If you run without using healing magic, you can see that fatigue builds up in your body. I think I understand what Rose meant when I said that, and I also ...... that I relied too much on healing magic.

I need to be able to move without healing magic. If a monster or enemy appears that blocks magic like an RPG, the only thing you can rely on is your own body.

 

「...... Cheng Cheng, the leader of the group wanted me to notice this, so he was beating me up!"

 

Healing magic is also important. But the basic thing about the rescue team is physical building...... I now realize that the training that I had been doing as usual until now is the best training.

 

"Damn it, you idiot."

"Geha!?"

 

Rose appeared at some point as I was running and kicked me from the side. I spun three times and got up, and Rose looked at me with stupid eyes before sighing.

 

"I told you to rest today."

"No, well...... Something spontaneous ...... Hmm?"

 

Someone is being lifted on Rose's shoulders. He doesn't move, but he's alive when he's breathing, even though it's not like today's dinner. ...... No, I'm scared if it's dinner.

Even so, he has familiar silver hair...... It's the same as the contents of the black knight who is imprisoned in the basement of ......... castle.

 

Perhaps noticing that I was tilting my head, the devil in front of me casually dropped the silver-haired girl carrying on his shoulder to the grassy ground. The girl who was dropped turned blue in the face and looked at the surroundings and my face as if confused.

And I'm going to scream too.

 

"Hey, what kind of person are you brought!?

"Isn't it fun to be a demon tribe, these guys are quite sturdy, so it's worth forging."

"No, no, no."

"I can't do anything stupid because I'm sealing the magic power, but for the time being, I'll keep an eye on it myself."

"Then it's safe."

 

What, please tell me that as soon as possible. I'm already surprised in vain, isn't it? I look at her stunned as she watches the exchange between me and Rose.

 

「...... What does this mean...... I don'...... what will happen."

"For the time being, do you want to write a diary today?"

 

Maybe you'll want to escape reality in your diary for a few days.
