The day after Mr. Lloyd had announced that he would send a letter to the nations, just as the sun was rising, I heard the familiar screams of a girl in my ears as I was feeding him breakfast in the cabin where Burlyn was. Somehow, I guessed and went out of the hut with Brooklyn and saw Rose carrying a large backpack and an unconscious Ferm.
As expected, I didn't faint, but I wonder if it was like that when I was too. From a third party's point of view, it looks like an endlessly bizarre sight. Hmm? Rose is here, isn't she?
Queue
"Whoa."
Something suddenly jumped on my shoulder from behind, black fur and lovely red eyes. Oh, yes, Rose was looking for this guy.
"Kukuru, the leader is calling."
It seems that this guy is going to play to help Ferm, who is going to go to the "forest" like I did. In fact, this guy's sensing ability was helpful, but it's kind of weird to think that it's a temporary thing...... Hateful.
But does the fact that he still rides on my shoulder like this mean that he misses me to some extent?
As I was thinking about this, Kukuru jumped off my shoulder and slid to Rose's feet with moderate agility.........CarnivoreroseandHerbivoresKukuruFigure .......
"Then I can't go back for a while, so I asked for it."
"Yes!
- While glaring at me, I was told such a thing and involuntarily returned it with an honorific word. Rose had a suspicious look on her face at my response, but she immediately decided that it didn't matter, so she walked with Kukuru towards the gate leading outside.
He's not a bad person, but he's too scary......
"Guru ......"
At my feet, Bullin is punching my leg as if to say, "Hurry up, Korra."
"Glutton, do you want this?"
"Huh...... Huh......"
Bring the fruit in your hand to the mouth of the bulllin and feed it. Can you eat your fingers before? I was scared to fight, but surprisingly it wasn't like that. Rather, the blue grizzly is said to be omnivorous, but it is a monster that does not eat its prey by habit.
「......... I wonder what I'm going to do while the leader is gone."
While feeding Bulllin fruit, he thinks about the time before departure. You have 15 days, including today. Normally, it's best to train and not get sick...... That's not enough to make a difference.
Rather, the physical side will be strengthened during the journey. So isn't it important to do something that can only be done here?
What can only be done here, studying?
That's okay to some extent as long as you peruse the book Rose gave you. If you understand it all the time, you should be fine.
So, martial arts or swordsmanship?
In the first place, I don't think that I, who have no fighting experience other than punching and kicking, can learn something stupid in ten days or so. But for the time being, it doesn't hurt to bite into it, so let's think about this as well.
"And the rest...... Healing magic, perhaps?"
I've only healed wounds and muscle fatigue so I don't really understand it, but in the last ten days or so without Rose, I think it would be a good idea to understand healing magic better and know how to handle it.
Fortunately, there are people in this country who use healing magic as great as Rose.
"I think I'll go there after the training is over."
"Google ......"
"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry I stopped my hands."
He takes out another piece of fruit and gives it to Bulllin as he ponders what lies ahead.
I'm sure Olga knows a lot about it, so she'll tell you a lot. So, let's finish the training earlier than usual and go to the clinic.
"Inukami-sama, where are you going?"
"Hmm? It's up to the rescue team."
When the sun was well up, I was given a little time off, and I went to the rescue team where Usato-kun was. In the midst of this, when I was about to pass through the gate of the castle, I was accosted by Mr. Aluk, who was serving as a guard.
"It's Usato-sama's place!"
"Oh, yes."
He nods even though he is pressed by him who speaks in a junior temperament style with a lot of power at the end of the word.
Arc Girdle, he is one of the knights guarding the castle gates, which are the cornerstone of the castle's defense, and one of the knights who is also respected by Sigurd. He seems to be an unusual person who does not take the job of a knight or captain of the Imperial Guard, but is in charge of guarding the castle gate himself.
Well, if I didn't, I wouldn't be selected to accompany you when I go out of the kingdom. At that time, due to my carelessness, he got Usato-kun involved and went missing, but after that, Aruku spared not sleeping and looked for us, so I know how stupid and straightforward he is.
"I saw you heading towards the city earlier."
"Really?"
Cheng Cheng, then I think we should go to the city. ...... I felt like I was going to see Usato-kun, that's right.
I wanted you to hear a lot about the magic academy in the mage city of Luxvis. I have a little hope for the city of Isekai Magic Academy, and I don't know where to vent my passion.
"Do you know about Luxvis?"
"It's hard to say it's a good place...... I think Luxvis is a great place to learn magic."
「...... Alc said, ......."
"I used to study magic at Luxvis, and I was only interested in magic and swords, so I barely graduated!"
Hahaha, Mr. Alc laughed in a refreshing voice that seemed to be broken. However, from my point of view, I think that Mr. Alc is strong in its own way. I've heard that he uses fire magic, and he's quite skilled with ...... sword.
You must have somehow guessed my thoughts as you tilted your head and groaned, Mr. Alc's colleague? The two knights crossed their arms and nodded yes and muttered something.
"Aluk-san, the only thing I'm not good at is archery and stick jutsu, and Inukami-sama, this person can become a knight of the Imperial Guard if he feels like it."
"Oh yes, I've always wondered why I haven't risen to the top.
"Oh, you guys......."
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
He is shaken by the killer pass from his colleagues, but when he returns to his bare body, he asks a question as if he has done it. Seeing my smile, Mr. Ark smiled wryly and shook his hand, but as if he realized that he could not escape it, he lowered his arm and scratched the helmet he was wearing shyly.
"I'm pretty clumsy...... You can only protect one thing."
"Then why don't you be a knight of the Imperial Guard?"
The Knights of the Imperial Guard protect their lord, King Lloyd. Is that not enough?
"No, the Knights of the Imperial Guard have a flexible target of protection, especially Lloyd-sama, and I can't handle it because I'm so clumsy. That's why I'm protecting this place."
I quickly turned my face to the castle gate.
The towering and sturdy walls of the city loom as if to allow anyone to enter.
"If we defend this place, no one will be able to pass through, so no one will be hurt by the people of the castle. If you can get past the city gates, it's over!"
Mr. Alc scratched his head playfully, but I was secretly horrified by his appearance.
Being at the academy means being a student.
Swords and sorcery.
Flame lineage magic.
Clumsy.
......... Shu, the main character.
A guard who has the elements of a true hero, Arc Gardel.
He ...... handsome in a different way than Kazuki.
"But I'll leave the defense of the castle to my colleagues for the time being."
"What?"
What does that mean?
As he tilted his head in question, Mr. Alc, who had suddenly aligned his legs in a regular manner, straightened his back.
"I'm sorry to hear that, this Arc Gardru, I'm going to help Usato-sama on his journey!"
He said in a familiar voice.
「......... Huh?"
"Hahaha, I'm surprised myself, after all, it was told to me yesterday by the people of the castle."
It can't be helped that the voice of the bare bones will be raised. Anyway, it's surprising that as of yesterday he had decided on a knight to accompany him. As expected, Usato is shrewd. And I hate the fact that you choose him so casually.
No, I think he was aware of Alc's exuding heroic temperament.
"Heh, as expected, Usato-kun, you're completely defeated...... Mr. Aluk. Thank you for your support Usato-kun."
"Yes!"
With an overwhelming sense of defeat, he walks towards the city.
With him, Usato will be fine. If Usato isn't too much of an enemy, he'll be able to get away with it. If you add Amako, who predicts the future, to that, it will be even safer.
Rather, it's a party that is too ironclad and how can it be defeated.
Does that mean the problem is me?
I'm going to Kamherio, a country where the faith of heroes is deep. It's not far away, but it's going to be a lot of trouble. ...... It's mainly too popular!
「...... It's no good, it's depressing."
Just listening to the story makes my stomach churn. However, it seems that I, who am a brave man, will definitely cooperate if I go, so the current situation is that I have to go.
After the morning training, I came to the clinic in the city by myself. When he sees me, he doesn't make as much noise as he used to, but he does feel a warm, ticklish gaze.
Well, I used to run with a bulllyn on my back, so I don't feel any different.
Anyway.......
"Hello!"
I knock lightly and open the door of the clinic to greet him. As usual, it was a clean room like the emergency team, and I was deeply moved because I had not come in quite a while, when a girl came running from the back of the clinic with a familiar voice.
"Welcome...... That's not Usato-kun."
"Hello, Uluru, I had an errand for Olga today...... Are you busy?"
"No, it's okay, it's a good day for patients not to come."
Good day, ? Certainly, on days when patients don't come, there are no injuries...... Yep, it's certainly a good day. While following Uluru, who was smiling and in a good mood, he briefly explained the purpose of his visit this time.
"Hey, give your brother a healing spell...... yes, I think it's good. That's all there is to it, brother!"
Surprisingly, Uluru is tough on Olga.
No, maybe he is a child who spits quite a bit of venom.
"But like your brother, Usato-kun is also pretty amazing, I heard that you were doing kumite with Rose this time-?"
"What? It's different."
"What? Really...... Ah, aha, that's true. If you do kumite with Rose--"
"I was just beaten one-sidedly."
"I'm dead...... What's that?"
Even if you do kumite, it doesn't change the fact that you will be beaten one-sidedly. I endured like a tortoise, trying my best to avoid that blow.
"Well, I did my best, but at the end of the day, I think the leader of the group was quite careful. Because I'm still alive. ...... Or rather, why is it rumored that me and the leader of the group were kumite?"
「...... Aha, ahahaha, because the kid who wondered about the sound that was echoing in the rescue team's training ground said he saw Usato-kun fighting with Rose......"
So those rumors led to a fight between Rose and me...... Was it when I was desperately pleading for my life? I remember throwing away honorifics and everything and begging for my life.
Still, the training continued.
"But it was tough...... Oh, this is your brother's room."
"Thank you."
Uluru knocked on the door and said in a slightly louder voice, "Usato is here," and a slightly tired voice said, "You can come in."
When you open the door and enter, you can see a man sitting on a chair attached to a desk in the corner of a simple room.
"I'm sorry I'm sick, Olga."
"It doesn't matter, it's just my little pleasure to meet people."
Uluru's older brother, Olga Fleur. She is a user of healing magic like Rose and the owner of this clinic.
This is the person I'm about to ask to teach you.
"Cheng Cheng, before you go on a journey, ...... you a healing spell on me."
For the time being, I explained why I came here and why I send letters to various countries. He nods his head and thinks about something, but he doesn't seem to be in the mood to be refused.
"But I don't think you need to ask me to teach you, Usato-kun, you'll be a better healing wizard than I am in no time, right?"
"Still, now that Miss Rose is in the woods, I want to ask you to teach me."
"Uh-huh...... I'm not as strong as Usato-kun, and the only thing I can do is heal."
Olga crossed her arms and groaned in annoyance.
Olga raises her hand as Uluru advises.
"Okay, let's try and compare our healing magic, Usato-kun, okay?"
"It's okay."
"Okay, let's do it!"
"They don't listen to me...... Hahaha"
After receiving the gaze of Olga, who put her hand forward with a wry smile, and Uluru, who has a big smile on her face, I also release a healing spell from my palm.
The color of my healing magic is a pale green, similar to the color of my magic system when I measured it with a crystal.
Uluru is a little darker green than me, but the color is not that different. But Olga .......
「...... After all."
It is dark, green with a green color similar to the color of young leaves, although it retains its transparency. As I recall, Rose's healing magic was darker than mine, and lighter green than Olga's healing magic now.
"Olga, how do you always knead your magic, I don't think I'm particularly conscious of it, and it's such a pale green ......?"
"It's the same for me, in my case, it's a little different from the healing magic of Usato-kun and Uluru, it's something I was born with."
"Born ......"
"But this powerful healing spell is effective enough to cure diseases, but I'm not very good at casting healing magic on myself...... Ahahaha."
―――Maybe there is a stage that can be fixed by the intensity of the color?
He stared at the light of healing magic that he had somehow emitted until now, and slowly clenched his fists. The light in this fist now remains a pale green that hasn't changed at all since he first used healing magic in this world.
"As far as I know, healing magic is different from curing illnesses, it's not just about healing external injuries, it's about healing diseases 'inside' the body...... Okay? It's not about curing it, it's about curing it."
「...... I'm not sure, but is it okay for you to recognize that your brother's healing magic is one step ahead of us?"
"Well, I don't think you're wrong in that perception."
...... is one step ahead of my healing magic.
Maybe Rose knows something, but somehow I feel like this is something I have to do on my own. If you think that the difference between Olga's healing magic and mine is the depth of color, then if my healing magic is the same color as Olga's, I will be able to cure the disease.
If it's the girlfriend I know, it'.......
「......」
―――For the time being, let's try to put in magic power without increasing it---
The healing light that had been overflowing was contained to the extent that it covered the surface of the hand, and in that state, it began to pour in magic power that could not be seen at any time. I thought that if it was thin, I should increase the concentration of magic power...... It's kind of sober.
However, I feel that the color is changing without my mind while the magic power is swaying like an electric shock.
"What are you doing, Usato-kun?"
"What? I'm just adding magic."
If you keep your eyes on your hand and continue to pour your magic into it, the healing green light that covers the surface of your hand will gradually become deeper and deeper. Can you go...... At that moment, Olga, who was looking at my hand next to me, gasped and grabbed my arm at the same time.
"Usato-kun, stop doing that right now!!"
"Huh?"
It looks like it's going to be a success in a few moments! Just as I was about to put it into words, my right hand, which had been adding magical power, emitted a light that seemed to overflow, and fresh blood was scattered.
"Huh......"
It's been about an hour since the light slipped from my hand.
After that, my hands were indeed enveloped in dark-colored healing magic. But in the next moment, my hand burst, perhaps unable to withstand the accumulated force. When I say that it exploded, it doesn't mean that the hand itself exploded, but that something like a cut was formed in my hand and magic leaked out of it.
What surprised me here was that the healing magic that was supposed to have unfolded was not activated. Of course, after being injured, he was able to heal again by casting a normal healing spell.
After healing my wounds, I realized that the way I did it was a rather dangerous endeavor. Uluru cried and was scolded by Olga. But there was something to be gained.
"The range of healing magic that can be cured depends on the concentration."
That's the law that I came up with this time. And there is one more thing I learned. Healing magic has the disadvantage that the darker the color, the more it will not be able to heal its own body.
In fact, when the accumulated healing magic burst, the healing magic that was in the thick state could not heal the wound on my hand. In addition, it makes sense that Olga, who was born with strong healing magic, was not good at casting healing magic on herself.
"It's worth a try."
If you repeat it a few times, you will get a feel for it. Perhaps, if you increase the intensity of the magical power, you will be able to heal injured people as quickly as Olga and Rose, and you will be able to heal sick people who have been difficult until now.
As for future training, you should be able to choose the strength of the magic power stably and use it.
For that, .......
"It's like there's just practice."
Gather the healing light in your right hand again and let it thicken.
The good thing about this new training is that you can do it anywhere. But I can't bear to bother those around me with my hands covered in blood again, so I turn around and look behind me to go to ...... training ground.
"Usato-kun!!"
"Aren't you a senior......?"
Inugami-senpai, who found me with my back to me, was smiling and waving at me. She ran up to me and talked to me with a happy expression on her face.
"It's sudden, but how did you find out the temperament of the main character of Mr. Aluk!?"
"What are you talking about?"
It's really abrupt, senpai.
―――Well, I was thinking of going back for a new training, but I think I'll wander around the city a little more. Senior, you're doing something amazing...... No, it's business as usual.
"Wait a minute...... Huh--huh...... Okay, that's good."
"Are you so lazy to talk to me...... Usato-kun"
"That's not true."
I'm thinking a little bit.
But I don't think it's that bad, so I don't dare to say it.
