"I'm sorry, I misunderstood!!"

 

Although he was finally able to clear up the misunderstanding of the girl who was called Kiriha, it was difficult after that. Amako's ...... I might be able to help her mother with that, but she blamed herself violently for attacking her, even though it was a misunderstanding.

It's already to the point where I'm going to pull it off.

Now he's bowing to me in a beautiful sitting position, but I can't be more uncomfortable here. And I'm surprised that the act of sitting on the ground exists in another world.

 

"It's okay, I don't care about Usato, he's a twisted but kind person."

 

"But I've done a lot of terrible things......

 

"It's too much to be cynical, but Amako is right, I don't care anymore, you had your own affairs, and besides, I'm unharmed."

 

He crouches down in front of her as she sits on the ground and shows her the hand that was chopped up during the day. There are no traces and no scratches due to magic, so it remains beautiful. She lifted her upper body, took my hand, looked at me intently, and let out an exclamation.

 

"It makes sense when you know it's healing magic...... Is a genuine user so amazing...... There's no trace of it."

 

"Do you know anything other than me?"

 

"I know people who don't use it for bowls."

 

Why don't you use it for bowls...... If that's the case here to learn magic, that's fine. I'd like to ask you more about it if I can, but Kiriha let go of my hand and looked up at the face that I had been looking down on earlier, so I'll leave that for later.

We didn't come here to demand an apology. It's to let Amako meet her friends. So let's get rid of trivial topics like whether or not I was attacked.

 

"Like I said, I don't care anymore, I think I understand the general public's perception of the beastman. So I don't think it's surprising that you misunderstand me as someone who came to capture you and attack ...... human servant. And I've had a confusing attitude, too, my son."

 

I also acted too thoughtlessly.

I didn't have to bother with that fist, and I should have spoken more. I had a desire to test my own strength, which I had grown through training.

I'm still immature, and I'm still far from being the full-fledged person that Rose says.

 

"Ha, ha...... I'm a weird person. I was terrified of what kind of request would come. As expected, it's just the guy that Amako brought. Really...... Weird human being."

 

"There's nothing crazy in my eyes."

 

"There's certainly nothing wrong with Amako's eyes."

 

She laughed a little at what was wrong with my words, and finally stood up and began to clean the dust off her clothes and tail.

Maybe it's because I've been in the house before, but I'm wearing clothes in a sober color instead of the robe I wore during the day. You can see the ears and tail that grow on the exposed head.

...... The tail is white overall, with a slight brown tip...... It's not a fox or a dog, it's not a beast man. Is it a weasel because the blade of the wind looks like a sickle? I can't say for sure. - She is a child who cannot be introduced to Inugami-senpai.

 

"Usato, it's rude to look at you like that."

 

"Hahaha, I'm sorry."

 

"You're a really weird person, even though most people who see me have a disgusting look on their faces."

 

I'm not from this world.

Also, there are a lot of people in my world who like chemomimi and cute things like that, so there are probably fewer people who don't like them.

As I was thinking about such silly things, I noticed that she finally stood up and held out her hand to me. When I made eye contact, I saw her shyly rubbing her cheeks.

I wonder if Amako next to me urged me to shake her hand......?

I was a little embarrassed but held out to him.

 

「......... yes, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Kiriha, and I'm a senior student at the school."

 

"I'm Usato, a healing wizard who belongs to the Ringle Kingdom's lifesaving team, and this is a reconciliation handshake."

 

With this, it seems that Amako can finally talk to Kiriha.

 

"Oh, no, I was in the middle of making dinner. They're going to be out soon, and they're coming back......... Why don't you go and eat if you like? I don't want to apologize."

 

Just as I was thinking, Kiriha spoke to me as I remembered.

 

"Dinner......

 

It's a little early, though...... But it may come out at ...... inn. It might be awkward for the people who live here who are coming home soon, and if Amako is with her friends, it might be better not for me to be there.

 

"Uh...... Huh?"

 

When I tried to stop her to refuse, Amako pulled the sleeve of my uniform. When I turned to look up at her, Amako looked at me as if she was begging me.

 

"Shall we eat Usato?"

 

.........。

 

「...... I can't help it.........

 

I'm so sweet to Amako.

Maybe it's because Sarlat has entrusted her with it, or maybe he doesn't want her to feel lonely.

After seeing the exchange between me and Amako, Kiriha is already ready to prepare a meal, including me, and I ......wonder if there is an option not to eat now.

 

"You don't have to worry about us, I'm not going to be extravagant, but I'm going to treat you to a treat."

 

Kiriha said as she lifted the door she had kicked down, and Amako and I stepped into the building where they lived.

―――The interior was similar to the dormitory of the rescue team where I was. It's not very big, but at the end of the entrance, you can see a table that can seat about 10 people and a staircase leading up.

 

"Good...... It's a place."

 

"Are you being sarcastic, or did you honestly think so?"

 

"I used to live in a similar place in the Lingle Kingdom, so I think it's a good place, it's very reassuring."

 

Ferm: I wonder how you're doing, and I'm wondering if you're eating properly. He's probably slacking off and being beaten up by Rose, but he's my junior for the time being. At the very least, let's pray in our hearts that we are safe. In my heart.

 

"What's the matter with you?...... Let's get in quickly, shall we?"

 

"Hmm...... Oh, I'm sorry."

 

He seemed a little bored. Glancing at Kiriha leaning against the door behind him, he walks over to where the table and chairs are. Well, steam is coming out from the back...... I think that's the kitchen.

 

"Ahaha...... I think kicking down the door was too much."

 

"Kiriha doesn't think about it too much, I almost hit it. Or rather, it was right."

 

"That's why I'm sorry...... I'm going to make dinner, so feel free to sit down. I'll be able to do it soon."

 

Kiriha couldn't stand Amako's jito eyes, so she entered the kitchen as if she were escaping. While smiling bitterly at the situation, he sat down on a nearby chair and took a breath as Kiriha told him.

Then, Amako sits in front of me across the desk. I wonder if he was sitting in the same place when he stayed before, and he is nostalgically touching the wooden table with his hand and deep emotion.

 

"That's good, Amako."

 

「...... Thank you Usato, for bringing me."

 

"I didn't help your mother, so thank you early."

 

"But......... Thank you."

 

...... I don't know how to react when I am told with such a mysterious expression. I haven't been able to respond to any of your demands yet.

She informed me of the ruin of the kingdom and the death of her best friend, and saved many people, albeit indirectly.

Thanks to you, I didn't have to lose my place in this world.

I didn't lose my friends and associates.

I'm the one who has to say thank you.

 

"You've helped two of my friends and a lot of people, so I repay you...... As much as I can."

 

"As much as I can...... Usato is really perverse."

 

So I'm not being cynical, I'm normal.

Amako replied as she pressed her cheek against the desk, and Amako said, "No, I don't," just like she did with Kazuki and Inugami Senpai during the day. And with a smile that wasn't like her.

 

"As soon as I finally started laughing, this is it, it's really perverse."

 

"It's going to be tough if you twist it any further."

 

I've come to say .......

I'm glad that she's more energetic than I could have imagined from the gloomy girl I was when I first met her.

 

...... Now, how do we blow a bubble? For Amako, who predicts the conversation, the conversation according to the theory does not make sense. If you're going to do it, be proactive in developing the conversation.

I thought I'd give it a try, and when I tried to talk to Amako, she was looking behind me, towards the entrance where the broken door was leaning against it.

When I looked behind me, I saw someone standing in front of the door.

 

"What? The door is ...... Something happened...... ......?"

 

"Oh, I'm hungry. Why did you stop at such a place............ Whew! Who are you?!"

 

Standing were two beastmen, a girl and a boy.

One is a girl about the same age as Amako with cat-like ears and a tail, and the other is a beast boy with the same characteristics as Kiriha, who is slightly shorter than me.

The girl was stunned when she saw me and Amako, but when the boy caught sight of me, he spread his legs wide and turned hostile at me. The legs are equipped with a top-of-the-step with a pattern similar to the gauntlet that Kiriha wore on his arm.

Also, it's a good idea to be able to attack, so surrender before things get complicated.

 

"Well, wait, I'm here with Amako's escort, I'm not a suspicious person!"

 

I'm used to the pain, but it doesn't mean it's gone away or lessened.

I don't want to get hurt if I can avoid it.

 

"Huh, Amako, if you're going to lie, it's a better lie...... ......"

 

The boy was about to attack me regardless of my words, but when he saw Amako behind me, he pointed at her with a surprised expression on his brownish ears.

 

"Amako! Are you alive?!"

 

It seems that he was acquainted with Amako, and the boy's eyes widen even more. On the other hand, she just raises her hand with a fairly light snort. The girl doesn't know about Amako, so she hides behind the boy and peeks at her.

Both are beastmen...... Probably. On the other hand, if a human lived there, the boy in front of him would not react like this.

 

"Hmm, it's been a long time, Kyo, the people there aren't enemies."

 

"You're not an enemy...... It's suspicious from the looks of it!!"

 

「...... It's certainly suspicious...... Don't speak ill of him."

 

It's suspicious...... I wonder if they followed me now.

I've just found a weakness in healing magic, healing magic doesn't work on emotional wounds. I'm used to being abused, but I ...... this kind of nonchalance works. Oh I see?????? I'm suspicious, but I like this outfit .......

 

"Damn ......."

 

Amako glared at me with jito eyes, and the frightened boy glared at me who was depressed with a bitter expression. I didn't expect to be trusted as quickly as Kiriha, but this is deeper than I thought.

Well, I didn't come here to please him, so that's fine. What matters is whether or not you can take care of Amako during your stay.

Amako would feel safer in the place where her friends were than in the inn where we lived, and the boy who was still staring at me seemed to be worried about Amako's safety, so if I left her here first, I wouldn't have to worry about it.

 

"So, this guy is a healing wizard, is he okay with such a naïve guy?"

 

He pointed at me as to what he didn't agree with and gave me a strange habit.

I didn't have anything to argue with this, so I was going through the silence, and Amako had a sullen expression on her face and was about to say something.

 

"Don't worry, Kyo, he's not the healing wizard we know."

 

"Sister...... Huh!?"

 

Kiriha, who came to the room to interrupt the conversation, proudly said with a plate of food in his hands.

 

●

 

 

"This is my brother Kyo, Satsuki who came here about a year ago, no, I didn't expect him to come back so soon, so it's a little complicated."

 

After that, we sat down and ate around the food that Kiriha had made for us. In the midst of this, Amako introduces us to the two men and women sitting in front of her, Kyo and Satsuki...... Kyo doesn't like me, but he is glaring at me while carrying the bread to his mouth.

It's funny, why is he still hostile to me even though I introduced myself properly and asked Kiriha to clear up any misunderstandings?

 

"Hey, I know you're worried about Amako, but don't glare at her so much."

 

「...... Don't you think your sister is suspicious......?"

 

"Yes, I thought so, but Amako trusts me, and most importantly, she's completely different from the people we've met. Even if they know it's a beastman, they will reach out to you, they won't feel bad when they see their tails and ears, and above all, they won't ask for anything in return...... Isn't that weird?"

 

Kiriha says happily to the two of them next to Amako as she puts her hand on my shoulder and asks if my presence is unusual. Kyo has a smug expression on his face that says, "I ...... this guy." Heck?????? Why are you poking at me, this kid? Do you like Amako? ......... I can't say there isn't.

Even though she has become a little cheeky, she has a look that can be said to be cute.

I looked at Amako who was eating bread with a sidelong glance, and with a light sigh, I put the soup scooped up with a spoon in my mouth.

 

"Hmm? This soup is delicious."

 

It has the mellowness of potato soup and just the right amount of saltiness. It's nothing compared to the food of that bustling bastard.

 

「...... Hahaha, it's the first time I've been complimented by a human. yes, it's a weird place too."

 

It was delicious, so I complimented it obediently, and after being surprised, I was told that it was strange again.

Why do I have to be called weird no matter what I do? I don't understand the table manners of the beastmen, I'll ask Amako to teach me later.

I made up my mind to do so, and when I was about to eat the soup, Kyo, who was sitting in front of me, rattled and stood up from his chair.

 

「...... I could tell that this healing wizard was different from the people I knew. I'll admit it for now...... But be prepared if you do something strange to your sister, Satsuki, and Amako...... Whew."

 

As soon as I stood up, Kyo said as he turned his hostility towards me.

I don't know what he saw here, but either way, there must have been a good reason to view humans as enemies.

 

"Honestly, I don't care if you trust me or not."

 

「...... What'...... that?"

 

"I came here with Amako because I thought I might let her stay with you for a little while."

 

"What? ...... Really?"

 

Amako, I thought you knew.

- While passing through the fact that the person who is important is making a Kyoto face, I exchange glances with Kyo, who looks at me suspiciously. He makes eye contact with me, looks away awkwardly, and sits back in his chair. As it is, he doesn't say anything, so he turns to the side and turns to Kiriha.

 

"Kiriha, can I ask for Amako while we're staying at Luqvis, because I think it's a lot easier to stay with you than with us."

 

The room is rotten, and it doesn't matter if you have one or two more to eat."

 

"Yes, it ...... good."

 

It is much better to spend a little time with their kindred than to be among people of different races.

...... Besides, those of us who would be important guests of this country would be the center of attention. It's not a good thing that Amako is exposed in the middle of it.

I don't think it's a problem for us to get attention, but maybe some unscrupulous people will try to catch Amako.

 

"Then I'll have to prepare for two."

 

If you leave it to Kiriha, you'll be fine.

They will protect Amako properly, and above all, they have beast friends such as Kyo and Satsuki. If they're there, there's no curtain for me to come out of, wait a minute.

 

"For two?"

 

Enough for two? Who's counting for two besides Amako?

I let out a stunned sound, and when I gave Kiriha a puzzled look, she gave me a wistful look that said, "What, no?"

 

"Aren't you going to stay too?"

 

「......... Huh?"

 

I can't speak at the words that seem really surprising.

 

"Sister! Who's going to let him stay...... Well, it's bad!!"

 

Kyo stood up again vigorously as if to speak for my stunned words, and said to Kiriha.

I don't know how I ended up staying...... Kyou

 

"No, no, because Amako would be better off with him, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry. If he's going to do something about us, I think he's done it a long time ago...... Wouldn't it be better if Amako was with him?"

 

"Ah, Amako ......."

 

「.........」

 

Kiriha, who parried Kyo's objections, asks Amako about it. Kyo calls her name in a trembling voice, but Amako looks at me several times in confusion.

Amako, you're about 14 years old, so it's okay if I'm not there like you're accompanied by a guardian, right? First of all, Amako would say that it would be better for her to be with me.

 

「......... If it's okay for usato."

 

It's a lie, Amako .......

I involuntarily dropped the spoon in my hand at the unexpected words. On the other hand, if I were there, you might not be able to relax with your friends......

 

"Usato, Amako says this, what are you going to do?"

 

Kiriha smiles like a mischievous child when I look next to me, Kyo looks at me with jealous eyes, and Satsuki, a girl who eats shredded bread as if she were eating it while staring at me.

One of them doesn't make eye contact with me, and the other three are staring at me intently...... I don't know what it is.

Above all, the way to say it is cheating. If I'm good, .......

 

「...... I'll have to ask the knight to tell me ...... right away."

 

If you say something like that, you can't say no.
