"Well...... Cheer up, Usato-kun."

 

"Oh, I've never seen Usato fight before, and it was amazing."

 

After observing the classes at the magic academy, I was now prostrate in the cafeteria that I was shown to. It was a brick building of considerable size because it was called the school cafeteria, and it was okay to take a short break here after a suitable lunch, but I still regretted that I had taken a detour in the mock battle.

 

"Why am I so thoughtless...... I'm going to be disgusted with myself for being so careless......"

 

I think the two of them are said to be heroes who use amazing magic, but in my case, the way they fight is not that of a wizard, and above all, it is healing magic that cannot be said to have a good reputation.

It would not be surprising if rumors of a caudal fin were circulating.

 

"It's the same for us, we joined without thinking about it, so we ended up in a situation where Usato had to come out ......."

 

"I'm sorry I gave in too much to my temporary emotions."

 

"Don't apologize, I'm the one who chose to participate."

 

They could have created the cause, but it was a problem that could have been avoided if I had covered myself in mud.

It's wrong to blame them for that. The question is how will my fault affect this school? What I can think of is that I will have a stronger feeling for that child who is a healing wizard like me.

...... But first, I need to tell them both about him.

For now, I'll tell you about the Luxvis healing wizard I met in that park. Kazuki listened to me with a thoughtful expression, but Inugami-senpai tilted his head with his arms crossed to see if he had something on his mind.

 

"What do you want to do?"

 

"What?"

 

"Do you want to help the healing wizard, or do you want him to keep him from being tormented?"

 

It sounds similar, but it's completely different.

The former is to prevent further harm, and the latter is only a stopgap measure until we leave here.

 

"To be honest, I don't know, but I'm not crazy enough to miss something like that."

 

「...... Well, I couldn't stay silent when Usato-kun was ridiculed. It's a little different, but it's pretty much the same."

 

"You can shamelessly say such embarrassing lines......

 

"You're already an important friend to us, so it's only natural that we take care of you."

 

He covers his mouth with his hand at the sudden words and turns away.

"Oh, are you shy?", I try not to make eye contact with Kazuki, who teases me and Kazuki, who gives up on her while smiling wryly, "Please stop......".

Why does this unfortunate senior take such a surprise to me?

It's too cowardly all of a sudden.

When I turned away and looked sideways, the senior who raised his voice as if he remembered something suddenly turned his face and put his hand around my shoulder. What the hell, this entanglement feels very troublesome, unlike before.

 

"Oh, by the way, Usato-kun, where you're staying today--"

 

"That's not good."

 

"You can just say it's okay to go with the flow, you know, I'm a good senior!"

 

Say it yourself, or do it yourself.

 

"If you are staying at the inn, please put up with a sumptuous meal and a bed to sleep in."

 

"I don't need fancy food or a bed, I just...... It's just...... I just want to live with fantasy!"

 

"Don't worry, what you're saying is a fantasy."

 

What the hell is living with fantasy, I honestly pulled in.

She looked at me with a sigh of dismay, and saw that it was difficult to persuade me, and suddenly stood up and grabbed my shoulders. All eyes are on you.

 

"Wait、...... Please hold back. I'm not saying this out of spite, do I?"

 

"Kiriha told Usato's to listen to it!"

 

"How long have you been in contact with me!?"

 

Is it time for training?! Either way, you're too shrewd.

What's more, Kiriha is also throwing the whole thing at me!

 

"Senpai, please calm down!

 

Perhaps he didn't think it was a good idea to attract the attention of those around him, but Kazuki came to stop him.

In the past, this should have been stopped, but this time the senior was in a bad situation.

 

"I'm not going to stop, I'm not going to back down this time...... What's that?"

 

The senior who was grabbing my shoulder looked behind me and tilted his head.

I can only say that he was so delirious just a moment ago and immediately calmed down, but I wonder if there is someone behind him. I also turn my face to the direction that my seniors are facing.

 

"Fufufu, that sounds like fun."

 

"What are you doing......

 

Gladys, a woman with distinctive golden hair, and Ms. Welsey, who was standing behind her, looked at me and my seniors curiously.

The two of them sit next to Kazuki, who is sitting in front of them.

...... I don't think they came here for lunch.

 

"I have to apologize to you guys."

 

"Apologize?

 

I have no idea. Why do I have to apologize to Gladys? Rather, I think I should apologize for causing such a fuss.

She didn't care at all about the attention of the students in the cafeteria, and she looked around at us once.

 

"Yesterday, right after you left, we gathered the teachers here to discuss the agreement with the Lingle Kingdom against the threat of the Demon King's army."

 

"Why does that lead to you apologizing to us?"

 

Did something go wrong for us?

 

"That's right...... Some of the teachers were dismissive of the contents of the letter. Are you skeptical of the existence of heroes and are the Demon King's army that strong? That's what I was wondering. Many people have said that you are not worthy of believing that you are not even a good person, and that you are there to protect the children of this country."

 

「...... Even though we are emissaries from a neighboring country, we are outsiders. I can't complain if I get suspicious."

 

"But, you know, that's just the way it is, and everyone is really scared, and for those of them who have only seen that battle in the story of the Demon King's Army, the Demon King seemed to be a very powerful enemy. That's why I was so desperate to oppose it...... However, if the Ringle Kingdom had lost the battle against the Demon King's army in the previous battle, the next place to be attacked would be the neighboring country of Luqvis."

 

That's right.

If you think about it, after the Ringle Kingdom fell into the hands of the Demon King, the Demon King army that advanced should try to increase its power more and more using the Lingle Kingdom as a new base. There are many inexperienced wizards who don't know how to fight, so I don't think Luxvis has the strength to fight.

I wonder if Gladys knew that.

 

"No matter how much I plead, I can't tell you what you're capable of, so I've decided to try a little too Welsey."

 

"That's what got us involved in the training of the students, right?"

 

"Did you notice?"

 

"When Usato-kun was fighting, there were a lot of people in the building who were looking at him intensely, so I could guess something."

 

Was that what I meant by the demonstration I gave after the fight with Halfa? As expected, she is very reliable at times like this.

However, I wish I had said that beforehand, and even though it was necessary, it was hard to fight Halfa and I got more attention than I needed. ...... No, I don't think it's what this person intended when it came ...... attention.

At the words of her senior, Gladys also put her hand to her mouth as if smiling. Contrary to the gesture that shows the merits of age, the atmosphere is reminiscent of something like mischievousness.

 

"I'm sorry for deceiving you, but it was far beyond my expectations, and I ...... that the teachers who disagreed with you had to shut up when they saw a glimpse of your abilities. Fufufu, I didn't expect you to destroy something magically fixed with your bare hands."

 

After all, isn't it normal to pull it out?

I knew I was getting stronger with my daily training, but I didn't expect it to be this far. It makes me keenly aware of the importance of continuing with the basics.

As I was convinced in my heart, Mr. Wealthy, who suddenly remembered something, slammed on the desk and stood up suddenly, looking at me with a desperate look.

 

"Usato-sama, you said it yesterday, didn't you?! Adding magic power is dangerous! That's it...... Such a rough usage...... You're wrong!?"

 

"Well, Welsey, let's think the other way around, that's the way I fight."

 

"Don't say anything like Rose!"

 

I'm still okay because I haven't reached that person's dimension yet.

If I continued any longer, the sermon would go on for a long time, so I decided to calm Welsey down for the time being and ask her what she was interested in after listening to Gladys's story earlier.

 

"Is Mr. Halfa your money?"

 

"Yes, but the girl who challenged you in the first place is different, only Halfa has cooperated."

 

The first child is different...... I mean, Halfa saw that the girl had asked me for a mock battle and broke in. So was Carla a guru too......?

From the way he feels, I feel like he's going to give me permission to do whatever I want, even if I haven't been told.

 

「...... I'm really glad I left it to him. If it had been any other wizard, it would have been over before he could measure his ability. ...... As expected, it's her subordinate, and it's impossible for her to fly a single person with a single fist without any assistance."

 

「...... Hahaha, I'm not quite there yet. The training I did the other day was more than ten times blown away by Halfa. And if you dodge it, it's a roundhouse kick to dodge, right? Is there such an unreasonable thing?"

 

At first, I thought I was going to die, but once I got used to it, it became okay.

I think it's probably because I'm desensitized to pain by drugs in my brain.

 

「...... Oh, yes, ......."

 

"Usato-sama, you're ......."

 

Eh, that's where I'm laughing right now.

I wanted a reaction like Rose's stupid power~. Even Gladys, who had been smiling until a moment ago, returned to her serious face. And when it comes to Welsey, she looks at me with eyes like, 'I know it's true, but why are you alive?'

 

"Rose, you're amazing......

 

"Who is he, he ......?"

 

Kazuki and Senpai also have their own reactions. In particular, I created a strange atmosphere without being conscious of it.

 

"Oh, yes, Gladys, I have one request for you."

 

"I can allow it as long as it's not too much......

 

"Burlin...... Or rather, the familiar I'm carrying? Can I let the monster walk in this city?"

 

"I don't care because there are a lot of kids here who have familiars."

 

Okay, I got permission.

Wait for Bulllin, it's the only time I'll be able to coast for today. I'm going to run it well tomorrow.

I was a little excited to know that I could train with Bullin, but for some reason, Mr. Welsey called out to me hesitantly, so I turned to her.

 

"Well, Usato-sama, Bullyn is not a familiar, is he?"

 

「...... Eh, really?"

 

Oh my God.

So what can I say about Bulllyn from now on......

 

"What do you mean, Welsey?"

 

"Well, Usato-sama doesn't have a familiar-based contract, so it might be more accurate to say that he doesn't need to."

 

"Don't you need it?"

 

What is a familiar contract, literally signing a contract with a familiar? Me and Bullyn haven't done anything stupid about contracts, so if you say it's not, that's it...... But what does it mean that there is no need?

 

"The Familiar Contract must be made through the blood of the master and the blood of the demon, and there is also a strict condition that the demon must surrender to the Lord."

 

"Eh, familiars have to go through various procedures, ......?"

 

The fact that such a troublesome thing was a condition for creating a familiar was not something that could be written in the contract and done quickly.

But I don't want to make a fool of myself, I don't want to bring Bulllyn to his knees, and if I don't, he won't betray me.

 

"There is no master-servant relationship between Usato-sama and Burlin-sama, right...... It's almost like a friendship."

 

"Wow, that's amazing, you can fight a demon without making a familiar contract...... What kind of monster is it?"

 

"It's a blue grizzly."

 

「............ Hmm?"

 

「？ ...... It's a blue grizzly."

 

Gladys asked me why, and when I answered again, she froze. Mr. Wealthy scratches his head as if to say, "After all, I don't know. Why does what I said sound strange?

Question the unreasonableness that does not make sense.

Uluru said before that Blue Grizzlies are hard to get along with, but I wonder if that's true. Or is it that it is a dangerous monster and cannot be made into a familiar?

 

"Well, if there's no danger, it's okay, just be careful not to go on a rampage."

 

"Hah, okay, I'll take care of it if it happens."

 

「...... It's amazing that I wouldn't normally suspect it's a lie, but when you tell me, I don't think so......"

 

I heard Gladys muttering something...... Anyway, I got permission to walk Bulllin. With Bulllin, the training is completely different, and you can use him as a weight.

 

"Senpai, Kazuki, what are you going to do after this?"

 

"Well, why don't you go to Bullin's?

 

"I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to the inn...... Please have fun with your seniors and Usato."

 

Will Kazuki go home first? ...... I'm curious that he said that after looking at me and my seniors alternately, but as my seniors said, we'll go see Bulllin. But first, I have to go get my luggage from the inn.

 

"Well, that's what we're going to do."

 

"Yes, if you don't mind, come back...... That's right, there's a magic mock battle that will be held once a month in a week's time, and I'm sure you'll be able to see a lot of magic in the competition format, so if you're interested, come and see it."

 

"A week or ......."

 

"As for the letter, it looks like there's still a lot of discussion going on, and I'm sure you guys don't have anything on hand, so if you feel like it, okay?"

 

It looks like a mock battle in the form of a match.

We stood up, bowed to Gladys, and left the place to go outside the school.

Wait, Bulllin, don't think ...... can stay rumbled forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usato-sama and the others walk out of the cafeteria.

I was watching them off with Principal Gladys, and when I confirmed that they were gone, I questioned her next to me.

 

"Are you glad you didn't talk about it?"

 

"He was thinking about it, and it's best not to say it now, ...... that the mock battle between him and Halfa had any meaning other than convincing the teachers."

 

Of course, there was also the idea of making the teachers understand what you were capable of. The plan succeeded spectacularly, with Suzune-sama using overwhelming attack power, Kazuki-sama precise attacks with elaborate magic bullets, and Usato-sama using speed and power that surpassed the realm of humans using healing magic diagonally.

I wasn't expecting him to do a disruptive attack using a lineage enhancement, so when he did it to Halfa, it literally sent chills down my spine.

 

「............」

 

"We need a spark to reform the consciousness of our students who are obsessed with power, magic, and race, and that's why we asked Usato, the healing wizard, and Halfa the magic wizard, to be the spark."

 

It was no coincidence that Halfa and Usato-sama fought.

Normally, he should have fought against Suzune-sama and Kazuki-sama, who are stronger wizards than him, but Gladys didn't dare to do so in order to show the students their battles.

 

「...... Healing magic that can only be cured, and magic that can only be seen, these two types of magic are different, but the way they are the same. That's why the fight between the two of them was worth showing to the students, or rather, to the people who live here."

 

A mock battle to change a rigid ideology.

It is safe to say that the effect is outstanding. The students, who had judged superiority and inferiority based on the amount of powerful rare magic and magical power, were forced to realize that those who handled the magic they looked down on were far stronger than them.

It's a brute force, but it couldn't be more effective.

However, even though it was for the sake of the letter, it was heartbreaking to proceed silently to Usato.

 

"Fufufu...... Usato's actions are too unexpected. I prepared a place to stay, but I couldn't stay in the wrong place...... What's more, from what you heard, it's where the beastmen live...... They hate people here, and yet...... He ...... a truly mysterious child."

 

"Aha......"

 

She giggles as if she can't get any funnier, and Welsey laughs wryly.

The sensibilities of the three people summoned from another world are really far from their own perceptions. Touching this world, your eyes light up like a child at everything you see.

Especially...... When you see Amako-sama, who is a beastman, acting with Usato-sama, you can see that she really relies on him. Normally, it should be a sight that you would never see.

 

"Because he doesn't shy away from creatures that are different from people, I want him to change the wrong way of thinking about this country, that any magic is a shining gem, that he should not waste the talent he has cultivated, and that people can grow as long as they want...... I want you to understand."

 

Principal Gladys, who said this as the person in charge of this city, had a kind look in her eyes.

She herself must have itched her teeth to leave it to them, but she was the head of this city, and even if she wanted to improve the situation of the academy so far, she could not do so because of her position as the head. That's why I enlisted their help outside the country -- because I wanted to do it even if it was by using the pretense of proving their power.

However, her gentle expression quickly changed to an astringent one, and she pressed her hand to her forehead as if she was worried.

 

"The question is, won't the kids who saw today's mock battle do things prematurely...... That's what I'm worried about......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After saying goodbye to Gladys and Welsey, Inugami and Inugami-senpai parted ways with Kazuki in front of the inn and headed towards the stables where Brulin, Amako, and the knights were.

In the midst of this, a senior who is in a good mood is walking next to me, but I am worried that I will not go somewhere because I am attracted to strange products like the first time I passed here.

 

"I suppose the same healing wizard as you was in the underclassmen who were in the morning training?"

 

"Yes, you were very surprised to see my face, after all, you were surprised that the face you had seen was the same healing magic as yours?"

 

"Maybe it's more correct to be surprised because you're so far removed from yourself, because if you don't know anything, you don't look like a healing wizard when you're fighting. Didn't you finally find out that Carla said you were a healing wizard?"

 

Is there such a way of thinking?

I'm aware that I don't look like a healing wizard, but if Carla told me to do it, that expression makes sense.

But why was he in such a hurry when he woke up from his fainting? Because you're going to be late for class? If you've been tormented for a few years, you should want to leave a place like this as soon as possible, but I think that's strange. If there are other reasons, .......

 

「.........」

 

No, let's not let the weird imagination get the better of us.

Perhaps my seniors sensed that I was walking silently, and they walked without saying anything. It was late afternoon, so there were many people on the main street. I wonder if they are spreading the word about me and Inugami-senpai, and they are whispering to me as if people passing by are gossiping when they see us.

At times like this, my uniform stands out. It's natural because it was made to stand out, but at times like this, I think this design is toothless.

 

"Your clothes don't stand out."

 

"Should I take it off?"

 

"No, no, you don't have to, because I know that your clothes aren't just fashionable, they're meaningful. I'd rather wear it too."

 

"No."

 

It's okay if you lend it, but they can't make the same thing as me.

This outfit doesn't seem to have been made except for the other one Rose is wearing, and I don't know what the material used in the clothes was made of.

It's true that it's made of a mysterious fabric that is different from leather and cloth.

 

"Usato-kun...... Previous"

 

"Yes?"

 

My seniors urge me to look forward. I followed her and looked ahead to see a crowd of people in a familiar alley. At the end of that alley is the square where the child of the healing wizard of this country fainted in the morning.

...... I have a bad feeling about it.

 

"Let's go!"

 

"Oh, Usato-kun!?"

 

I immediately ran to the crowd in front of the alley, passed through the people, and looked into the alley. All I heard was a roar, like something had exploded.

Normally, I wouldn't hear an explosion. I imagined the worst, and as I was about to run out of the place, I spotted a wild man out of the corner of my eye who had gathered with the healing wizard boy in the morning.

 

"Oh, you dressed like crazy in the morning, ......."

 

"What happened!!"

 

"Oh, my God, he's hurting me again in the morning, and he'...... ...... like I've never seen him before."

 

Is it my fault...... Whew.

I didn't expect an uproar to happen so quickly, but if you want to hit eight, you can aim directly at me...... Whew.

The anger at myself that wells up inside makes me calm down. First of all, let's get past these bastards and go to the square.

 

I'll go first!"

 

"Usato-kun!!"

 

Alternately kick up the walls of the alley and jump over the bastards in one fell swoop. I can hear someone's voice startling me from below, but I'm trying to calm down but not be quiet.

When you land as it is, you can finally see the scene of the square.

In the square, there was that healing magic boy--that's...... The girl with the twin tails who first challenged me to a mock battle! There are men and women who seem to be around them.

 

"If you're hiding your abilities, why don't you just show it?"

 

「...... I'm ...... Wrong...... What?"

 

The girl, who has an orange sphere in her hand that is slightly different from a fireball, smiles wickedly with a group of cronies and shoots the sphere at the boy.

One of the boys is lying on the ground, worse than he had been in the morning. That look...... Out of magic!?

What happens if you cast a spell in a state where you are almost alive when you run out of magic...... Does she know that?!

 

"It's bad......!"

 

I hurriedly took off my uniform and wrapped it around my right hand and started running at full speed.

After a few steps, I reached the boy's front and wielded my right arm, which was wrapped around the fireball that approached in front of me. In an instant, the fireball explodes as if it were bursting, and a small cloud of black smoke engulfs me for a moment.

 

"Huh!?"

 

But it's not much magic. It is a power that cannot burn the clothes of the team, but it has the power that can cause serious injury if a person eats it.

I shook off the black smoke with my hands and put on my uniform, and turned to the boy behind me, ahead of the stunned group in front of me. As expected, the boy who was looking up at me in dismay, waved his hand and activated the healing magic.

 

"After all, the magic power is gone...... I was able to keep my mind on it."

 

"What's that...... Me and you...... ......."

 

Perhaps it was the limit, but the boy faints while casting a healing spell. Injuries are minor burns and ...... He must have been beaten and has blue bruises on his face. If you turn over your clothes, you can see any number of injuries, but .......

The problem was that as a healing wizard, he had suffered more injuries than he could heal himself. How many minutes, or even hours? It's possible that it could have been done right after we finished the mock battle.

 

"Hey...... Will you please not do anything arbitrary?"

 

First of all, let's cure everything, including fatigue.

If you don't do it right, you may have an injury that will last a lifetime.

However, he often uses magic on people so casually. The knights of the Ringle Kingdom I knew had decent morals...... I'm not forcing the students here to use magic for the good of the country, but this is not something that we should do as human beings.

 

"Hey!"

 

"Oh......?"

 

I myself responded in a slightly rough voice, perhaps irritated.

The boy around me, who grabbed my shoulder and called out to me, turned around and looked at my face, lost his voice and stepped back.

 

"If you don't like it, you can tell me directly......

 

"I think I'm misunderstanding...... He and we are friends. If you don't care, will you not touch me?"

 

"Well, it doesn't matter......... Huh--"

 

This is it.

I really can't do it anymore, I don't know what to do.

I think it would be fine if we could just stun them all and end it.

...... Don't be too short-sighted. I keep telling myself to calm down as I look at the girls in front of me.

Five people...... Or?

 

"Healing magic...... It's not a convenient spell to relieve your frustration, is it?"

 

I've learned.

Hell, pain and respect.

I was able to help a lot of people with the magic she taught me.

It's definitely not something you can handle like a sandbag.

 

"I don't exist for your silly self-esteem in the first place. I don't care if you're constantly irritated or munched ....... Burst earlierdegree・・Even if you're so ignorant that you don't know how many injuries your magic can inflict on a living person."

 

"Ignorance, you mean?"

 

I'm going to lick it up.

Do you think I'm going to pull the word flimsy friend?

Even if you miss it to that extent?

If you put on an innocent face, you'll be forgiven?

 

"A healing wizard who just followed the hero...... I'm going to get on with it--"

 

"There's a word that my boss, a healing wizard, said."

 

I may be more prone to anger than I think. Even in the original world, I rarely got really angry, and the only time I was shown something so disgusting was in a badly made movie.

But this is not a good idea. A distinctly different anger spreads in my heart than when Senpai and Kazuki were almost killed by Ferm.

He places his left hand on a tree that is planted just nearby and gathers his strength. The attached part is distorted and the whole tree trembles.

 

"When you get involved with someone who can't help but look down on healing magic, don't hesitate to blow it up, and that's exactly what you ...... to do. Above all, the word "friend" is ...... It's not a word you can use as an excuse to get away with it."

 

The crushed pieces of wood are crushed into pieces and dropped to the ground with a flip.

That alone made the dashing girl look frightened. His expression is stained with fear of me.

 

"A healing wizard who just followed the hero...... What's that? Shall I make you go through the same thing as this child? There are ...... little girls who can't do anything without a herd."

 

The closer you take a step, the bluer your face becomes. Some of them are even in tears. After confirming the situation, I slowly relaxed my shoulders and released the tension.

...... If you threaten him like this, he will be quiet for a while. The line that mimicked Rose's tone a little at the end seemed to be very effective.

I'm not mature enough to get emotional and raise my hand to a younger child, and in my experience, once I've instilled fear in them, they won't want to rebel. The next time you do something similar, you can bring in Bulllyn and do the same thing with a more sword curtain than you have now.

...... But for me, intimidation wasn't something I wanted to do willingly...... Is this the end of the matter? All I have to do is carry the boy who is fainting behind me to a place where I can put him to bed.

 

"Usato-kun, calm down."

 

"Hmm?"

 

When I finally came out of the crowd, my senior put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down.

It's just right, the place is settled, let's talk about where to take this child.

 

"Ah, senior, just now--"

 

"You guys seem to want to make the Healing Wizard your enemy for a long time...... Indeed, meritocracy is just a bad thing at this point."

 

However, the senior, who turned to the girls without listening to my words, provocatively said such a line to the girls.

Senior, no way...... Do you think I'm really crazy?

A senior who triumphantly steps forward in front of me. The girl, who was somewhat less frightened by the appearance of her senior, who looked somewhat decent, looked back at her senior with a sullen expression.

 

"He and I are outsiders, and we have a grave responsibility that will determine the future of our country -- so we must not lay our hands on you...... It's frustrating. ...... Don't get me wrong, we're not going to beat you."

 

Don't put your hands down, said the senpai, who smiled faintly as if he were pointing a nail at the girls who tried to make up with his words.

I understand why you're angry, but I'm very happy if you notice me being confused behind me.

 

"What the hell is going on?"

 

"There's going to be a mock battle in a week's time, right?"

 

"Oh! There's no way you can win! To the monsters and heroes there!!"

 

"Hey."

 

"Huh!?"

 

Even though I called him a monster, his reaction was strange. At least not in response to people.

The skin of the monster was peeled off, and the lack of hesitation towards me became apparent. In the first place, I was completely seen as an enemy to this girl, so I can't help it, but .......

Rather, it was about the monthly mock battle that my seniors said. I don't know what the intention is, but unlike the daytime mock battles, we can't go to formal school events, right?

 

「......... It's not me or Usato-kun who comes out. He's the boy you used to hang out with."

 

「...... Huh? Do you think the guy lying there can beat me?"

 

Wait a minute...... I don't understand the intentions of my seniors at all...... If you let him fight like this, it could be a terrible one-sided game. In the first place, the boy in question is also unconscious, and I can't even talk about threatening him.

The girl looked down on the fallen boy and glared at her senior, but she had a smile as thin as the wind blowing everywhere on her face, and she pointed out with her thumb at me who was behind her.

 

"I'm going to make him stronger than you in a week, this Usato-kun."

 

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

 

Me!?

I was surprised to be suddenly thrown out, so I immediately turned my senior to listen to the situation and talked to him in a hidden voice.

 

"Wait a minute, what do you mean?"

 

"It's best for me to solve these problems, it's a bit rough, but I can't think of any other way to do it."

 

"That's true, but ......."

 

"Besides, you know more about healing magic than anyone else in this city."

 

Train him? Only seven days...... No, I can't do it today and the day of the mock battle because I'm stunned, I only have five days.

I think it's impossible to train at least as much as I do.

But...... If you ask me if there is any other way than threats, I can't think of anything ....... Stand up to bullies with your own strength. In some ways, this may be the most effective and most difficult way to end bullying in boys.

The senior, who accepted the silence as an approval, turned to face forward and began to talk even more exaggeratedly.

 

"You are free to accept or not to receive...... If you're afraid of losing to him as a healing wizard...... You don't have to take it, do you?"

 

"Ha, just kidding, be prepared if he loses...... It doesn't matter if you're a hero or an emissary of the Ringle Kingdom...... Reward...... I'm going to let you take it!"

 

"At best, make that failure stronger," she spat out a throwaway line, and the girl walked away to a different alley from the main street with her cronies who giggled and smiled sarcastically.

All that was left was the bastards peeking at us, the boy who fell down, and us. I sighed that I was involved in trouble again.

 

"No, I was impatient to see Usato so sharp, because if I had messed with them here, I wouldn't have written a letter."

 

"Hey."

 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

For the time being, I would like to thank you for proceeding with the story without permission. I know that my seniors also had good intentions, but I felt like I had to do this for the time being.

 

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

 

I thought I did it lightly, but the senior who held his head with tears in his eyes looked up at me.

I felt something immoral, but I had a gut feeling that it was an emotion that I shouldn't be aware of, so I didn't bother to explain it.

 

"Senior, I was angry, but I didn't want to raise my hand."

 

"What? ...... Haha...... He looked really scared."

 

"I thought I'd try to lightly threaten him to stop."

 

"Do you ...... lightly?"

"It's a lie, isn't it, he looked like the ogre I saw in ...... book?"

"I was plucking the trunk of a tree with my bare hands...... You can't do it unless you have more grip strength than a beast......

"Beastmen...... Are you a friend?'

 

.........。

Well, I guess my acting skills were that amazing. I didn't expect to be drawn to such unrelated bastards.

 

"However, the suggestions made by my seniors will still lead to the best results...... The problem is that he doesn't seem to want to win."

 

"That's what I decided on my own...... I'm sorry, but I don't think it's an extra burden."

 

「...... Certainly."

 

When you look at that situation, it's natural to think that something must be done.

Even more so if it is none other than a senior.

 

"Anyway, I'm glad that the monthly competition was exactly what I imagined, and if I had been wrong, I would have been very embarrassed."

 

"Why are you so haphazard with all that......

 

While being stunned by a random senior here and there, he checks to see if there are any other wounds on the boy's body.

No amount of healing magic can heal body defects or emotional wounds.

If you're out of magic like you were before, and you get hit by an exploding spell, you might die if you don't do it right.

...... I've heard that there's nothing more terrifying than a kid with a weapon, but it's really terrifying. He does magic with a smile that hurts people.

After confirming that there are no wounds left, he lifts the unconscious boy and carries him on his shoulders.

 

"It's light."

 

The weight of a boy who is inappropriate for his age seems to represent the suffering he has experienced, and an incomprehensible emotion wells up in my heart.

There are many ways to make healing wizards stronger...... First of all, I have to confirm this child's intentions.
