Usato brought a healing wizard boy, Nak.

I had brought him here for a reason, but I could see the fear and a little confusion in his eyes as he looked at us beastmen. However, I couldn't let him go home because he was so weak, so I decided to let him stay.

Nak and I often met during joint training, so I didn't need to introduce myself, but it was hard for me to get to know him. It's a reason to avoid them because they're beastmen, but Nak himself is the boy who has been most harmed by Mina, and that alone can be a reason for us to avoid him.

It's just a matter of being difficult to interact with, so it's not something to worry about, but the problem is that Usato says that he will train Nak to a level where he can defeat Mina within five days.

Mina is one of the strongest people of her age. Even though it is still developing, it uses explosive magic, a magic that is instantly more powerful than normal fire magic. Unlike Usato, whose raw physical abilities are unparalleled, Nak is a poor word, to say the least.

How do you get him to ...... level of Mina? In reality, I think it's impossible, but I'm wondering what kind of training Usato will give to Nak, who is beyond expectations in every sense.

 

「......... I think you said yesterday that you were in the city......

 

Every student's day is different.

If you take a certain amount of mandatory classes, you can freely learn what you want to learn, and if you adjust well, you can finish the classes faster than the normal time.

 

"Are you sure you're training in a city like this?"

 

"That's what I said yesterday."

 

My siblings and I have almost the same class, so we start and end at almost the same time.

In the early afternoon, after a day's classes, Kyo and I came to see how Usato was training a boy named Nak in the streets of Luxvis.

I don't know what the training is like, but from the stoicism I saw in Usato's early yesterday morning, it seems to be quite hard. Besides, it's hard to imagine anything decent given the monstrous power he showed in the fight against Halfa.

Either way, there's a part of me that wants to see something scary.

 

"Didn't you see Usato and the other one in the morning?"

 

"yes, at least before I woke up, Usato and Nak were out for training and stuff."

 

Yesterday, the bread that Usato told me to put on the table was gone, so it seems that he is eating breakfast properly, and Amako who woke up later is also the usual. He said he was going to the stables and left.

Me, Kyo, and Satsuki...... In a sense, it was nice to eat breakfast with the same number of people as before, but I was surprised that I felt a little lonely. Last night was a tumultuous affair in many ways with the addition of a bizarre hero named Inukami, so you might have thought so.

 

"Satsuki at Inukami's place?"

 

The most surprising thing was that Satsuki and Inukami hit it off and were as noisy as fish out of water, which left the biggest impression on me last night.

He gave me a bitter expression as if he had bitten off a bitter worm at my question, and he pressed his forehead against it.

 

"Oh, I'm going to see you, so you can go home first!" Because...... I wonder why he doesn't stop when he starts running......

 

"Well, Inukami can only stay here for a short time, so it wouldn't hurt to see him a lot while ...... still can."

 

Even though he is a strange and brave man, he will surely have a good influence on Satsuki.

As for Satsuki, there is one more thing that surprised her. It's Kyo Usato...... It's like opening up a little bit to people.

Kyo has also been exposed to a lot of malice and various things here, so he doesn't think favorably of humans, and unlike me, he has a personality that is easy to show it, but since last night, the thorns in Usato have surprisingly disappeared.

 

"Look at my face."

 

「...... No, it's nothing."

 

He's a kinder brother than he used to be.

Rather, he must have been quite overwhelmed by his sharp attitude so far.

I'm glad I did, but on the other hand, what about me? I also think.

 

"Hmm? Suddenly, I remembered that my sister, when Halfa was punched in the stomach by Usato, and when she hit the target, she was so scared, but what was that?"

 

"Yesterday's ......."

 

Kyo's abrupt words reminded me of yesterday's scene of Halfa being hit like a ball thrown at Usato, and the scene of him pulling it out of that sturdy target with his bare hands.

When I first met Usato, I couldn't stop shaking at the thought that I might have been like that.

It was the same amount of force as when he stepped on me or attacked me completely, and the problem was that Amako came to stop me afterwards.

If she hadn't stopped me, who can predict the future to some extent, I might have been in a lot of trouble...... Regardless of the presence or absence of healing magic.

 

「...... It's nothing."

 

"It's nothing...... I hope it's okay."

 

It's a bit of a connotation, but that's fine.

Kyo glances sideways at me with slightly suspicious eyes, but quickly looks forward. I look forward with a little relief, and I notice that the city is a little strange.

 

「............ Hmm, I don't know."

 

"Certainly...... I wonder if something happened."

 

The clerks and students on the side of the road were looking ahead at the road we were walking on and were gossiping about something.

......... I don't know what the matter is, it's not strange that it's noisy because it's usually a lively road, but this noisy is something different.

 

「......... Uh-huh."

 

"Kyo?"

 

Kyo, who was next to him, looked ahead and made a disgusting voice, so I looked at him.

There was a man with gray hair and a suspicious woman's face who stood out disgustingly in the crowded street.

 

"Halfa ......"

 

"Oh, my gosh."

 

Involuntarily, I called his name in a voice that seemed to be disgusting.

Halfa, a man who had a mock battle with Usato the other day.

My siblings and I don't like this. I don't like the merciless, refracted meritocracy of the way he fights as a wizard, and the strangeness of this guy trying to treat anyone as strong as possible is disgusting more than anything.

Halfa notices me and Kyo with the same subtle expression as Kyo, and approaches me with a smile and raises his hand even though I have a disgusted look on my face.

 

"Hey, are you both on your way home?"

 

He's as reserved as ever.

But why is Halfa in such a remote place from the school? This guy lives in a dormitory in the school, so he should not come here very often.

 

「......... Oh, you didn't get hurt yesterday, did you?"

 

"Fufufu, don't worry, all of Usato's attacks are safe with healing magic passing through them."

 

"The shock was unimaginable," he said with a slight glee, and when I saw him rubbing his arm, I was reminded that this man was a combat maniac.

What I'm curious about is why this battle freak is here.

 

"So, why are you here, the head of the school asked you to do it?"

 

He lives in the academy and rarely comes here, and he knows very well that this guy doesn't use magic tools or anything like that, and he hasn't heard that he needs anything in class.

Possibly under the direction of the school principal.

Halfa's magic vision is useful in many ways. Since you can see various things such as the amount and flow of magic power, it is a rare magic that is not originally used for combat and is quite useful among some magic researchers.

He is one of the few students who is trusted by Principal Gladys due to his own ability. Perhaps, but it is natural to think that the reason why Halfa, who rarely comes this far, came here is because of the instruction of the school headmaster.

He smiled and nodded at our question, then turned his attention to the street and returned the words to us.

 

"As you may have guessed, the head of the school asked me to call Usato-san in a hurry......"

 

"Hurry ......?"

 

"Don't you know?"

 

Tilting his head, Halfa is surprised.

Does it mean that Usato has done enough to be called by the school principal? No, he doesn't look like someone who wants to cause a ruckus on his own. ...... It's a little bit natural, but it's also a little bit natural.

 

"I don't understand the details of the situation myself, but I heard that they have been running around this city since early morning, and they complained...... Something like that reached the ears of the school principal."

 

「......」

 

「......」

 

What are you doing, ......?

Running around? In the city? What's more, they run around so much that they get complaints...... What?

 

"It's extraordinary to be in trouble here, what the hell did Usato?"

 

"It's refreshing to me."

 

Because of the crowd of young children, Luxvis is a noisier country than the rest of the world. Even if magic flies around the city, the passers-by don't care and go about their daily lives.

 

"I've heard that we're going to pass through here soon, so we're waiting."

 

"That's why you're here."

 

"Yes, it's hard to find Usato-san running around town."

 

Halfa scratches his head as if he is in trouble.

 

"You've been talking a lot today."

 

"Oh?"

 

"To be honest, I'm very surprised because he didn't even talk to me when I talked to him."

 

「.........」

 

Certainly...... He was talking normally, but it was certainly not often that he talked to Halfa this much.

Neither I nor Kyo have any friends in the class. They all know each other to the point of acquaintance, but Halfa is the only one who likes to talk to them willingly.

An exception is Carla, but she is not particularly close just because she is a teacher who does not discriminate, which is rare in humans.

 

"I still don't want to talk to you, and if you don't want to have a proper conversation with us, stop grinning."

 

"Hahaha, it's still tough."

 

Halfa smiles embarrassed at Kyo's words.

He's right, it's unusual for those of us who ignore or have minimal conversations when spoken to to to us to talk to people like this.

I didn't realize it because I was unconscious, but I think it was probably because Amako and Usato came.

We've only been together for two days, but their presence has had a significant impact on me and Kyo.

 

"It seems that you are coming here!?"

"Hide your familiar!"

"Lies!?"

 

As I was immersed in a kind of sentimentality, I heard a voice that resembled a cry from the back of the street.

What? While I was wondering, the few familiar students around me hid their familiars behind their backs and began to make frightened voices.

 

"What? What a reaction like when this dangerous monster approaches."

 

"Why are they all hiding their familiars?"

 

What? Kyo and I looked around as if we were confused.

Just as a decidedly strange air reigned over the place, the sound of dull footsteps gradually approached with a growing bustle.

It resembles the sound of a monster larger than a person approaching. I don't think it's possible in a city like this, but for the time being, I'm going to put my arms out of my robe and put out a gauntlet so that I can fight at any time.

Together with Kyo, who is also on guard, he looks at the end of the road so that he can see the back of the street...... At the end of the road, you can only see a large gate and there is nothing.

 

"Why are you following me?"

 

"Well, I'm curious too......

 

He glared at Halfa who had followed him without a hand, but looked forward again. The main street leads to the city gate, so you can see all the way ahead. Even if there are some people, it can be seen clearly with the eyes of a beastman.

As I was vaguely looking ahead of the road, something small jumped out of the corner.

 

"Huh...... Gwe......... Huh......... Huh......

 

"Hmm? Yes......"

 

"Nak......?"

 

The identity of the small thing that jumped out was Nak.

He came out on the main street where we were with a lot of momentum, and although he was about to fall, he turned around and started running with a dangerous step.

His face was terrible with tears and runny nose. Anyway, I have a bad feeling when I see him running towards me in a desperate way.

 

I was suspicious, but I stopped thinking when I saw behind him--no, the blue blob that emerged from the corner from which the knack had just popped out.

The blue-and-white blob that emerges from the bend hits the ground as if it is about to be swept away, stops abruptly, and turns to face us.

 

"What...... yes, yes, yes, yes!?"

 

Exposed to the gaze of "one" and "one" pouring into me, I finally understood what had appeared and at the same time raised my uncontrollable voice.

Double eyes that seem to overlap.

Double pattern of blue and white.

The identity of a bizarre and bizarre pale giant who chases a boy who screams in fear and runs away with no expression.

It was Usato, a foreign healing wizard who carried a large bear demon lightly on his back and chased a boy who was fleeing in desperation.

 

●

 

"Is Mr. Gladys calling me?"

 

We caught a glimpse of Usato's shocking training scene.

Halfa, who was about to continue training without noticing us, stopped him and told him that the head of the school was calling him.

Hearing this, Usato crossed his arms in concern as he stroked the Blue Grizzly, the monster that had fallen from his back.

 

「......... I understand. I'll head right there."

 

"I hope you will......... So, is he okay?"

 

"Hmm? Do you mean Nak?"

 

Halfa looked a little puzzled at Nak, who was helplessly stunned on the back of the Blue Grizzly.

Nak was desperately fleeing from Usato, but when Usato stopped him, he had a relieved expression on his face as if he had been saved, and he fell to the ground with that expression.

 

"It's okay, I've only been running it for half a day, and I've cast a healing spell on it, so I don't think there's anything to worry about. I've taken a break now and I'll be fine if I get a little rest."

 

"No, no, no, that's not what you meant, you're an ogre!"

 

I knew it wasn't a normal training method, but this was obviously funny!!

What kind of training is only half a day? You don't have to do that if you just want to build up your physical strength! What's more, if you take a break now, it sounds like you've been running continuously since the morning!

First of all, the Blue Grizzly is a monster that is famous for being a fierce and powerful magical beast! It's not a monster to put on your back!

As he was screaming inwardly while destroying even his own personality, the devil in front of him had an expression that said he didn't know what was being said for a moment, and he rubbed his cheeks as if he was in trouble.

 

"Oh, no...... There's no demon as good as me."

 

Usato is stunned by my words, but he smiles wryly and says such a thing.

Eh, lie, I really think so, this guy.

Me and Kyo are pulling, while Halfa is smiling admiringly, and he just nods his head in agreement.

 

「............ Yes, it's Usato-san."

 

"You don't give up your thoughts......!"

 

It's a tantrum, but it's forgivable that you, who are the most decent person in this situation except Kyo, turn away from reality...... Whew.

Or rather, it's not at that level. No wonder the students on the street are making noise.

Basically, those of us who study here rarely fight wild monsters. Even if you fight, it's just a demon or a familiar that doesn't have much strength. Powerful monsters such as blue grizzlies live in areas with a lot of magic, so you can't meet them normally. Even if you meet him, he will usually be killed by his thick skin, sharp claws, and huge body.

But what was the perverted healing wizard who was carrying such a presence lightly in front of him right now and running through the city with the sound of dull footsteps? I doubt whether or not I'm human as a premise, but .......

 

"Whew...... Oh...... Haha............ Wow."

 

Besides, is he okay when he faints and is about to die?

It's more like a torture or punishment game than a drill.

Usato, who swallowed the words that came out of his throat and looked at me suspiciously, a twitching grin, gave him a thoughtful expression as he put his hand on the head of the Blue Grizzly beside him.

 

"Burlin...... Oh, that's his name, but he's my buddy who came to this city with me, and I finally got permission from Gladys yesterday, so I took him out."

 

"Grua"

 

"It's a good weight, so it's useful as a weight," he said somewhat out of place, patting the head of the bulllin who squealed. On the other hand, Bulllin, who was stroked, slams his arm into Usato's leg as if it were annoying.

Even when the Blue Grizzly slams a blow to his leg that makes an inaudible thud, he pulls back even more when he sees his calm face.

 

"I know about that bulllin, but why are you chasing him around in the middle of the day with a monster on your back? It's a tough training, so I imagined something else. No, what you're doing is pretty crazy too."

 

"As for Bulllin, it's a bonus because it's also my training, and when it comes to running, I had to limit my training to make him stronger in five days."

 

Bonus...... That?

The sight of Usato and the Blue Grizzly rushing at each other with the power I had never seen before was screaming......

 

"I don't have enough time to do the training that I'm supposed to do, and I can't be ruthless enough myself, and I don't have enough training for my whole body. ...... That's why I thought I'd just train his legs. It's not that difficult because it's just a monotonous thing to do, just running. You won't be yelled at, you won't be kicked, you can even faint, and you won't be overheard when you cry and beg for forgiveness."

 

"True unreasonableness is in the form of a person," Usato says with a smile that doesn't look like he's smiling.

The fierceness on his face makes me realize that a real healing wizard is terrifying.

When I get back to my hometown, I'll tell everyone that healing wizards are dangerous.

 

"Well, if you train your legs, you can escape and gain strength. It is thanks to that training that I am able to live like this, and it is because of my training that I have been able to help many people......... But I don't think I'm going to let him do the same thing as I did."

 

"By the way, what do you do Mr. Usato?"

 

"I'll leave you in the forest infested with monsters for about ten days, and you won't be able to return until you hunt the Grand Grizzly, push-ups with never-ending weights, training to keep receiving until you can break the leader's fist, and then--"

 

「...... No, that's enough."

 

"What have you been able to live on until now, ......?"

 

Inside, is this guy really human? Usato has an experience that makes him suspicious. Isn't that the leader of the group, the one who taught Usato healing magic? Isn't he a devil in human skin......?

Usato smiled annoyed at me twitching my cheeks.

 

"There were a lot of times when it was hard in the beginning and I wanted to run away, but I don't regret it because it was all necessary...... I think. What I can say for sure is that it was because of my training that I was able to meet Bullin."

 

Does that mean there were a lot of things?

I'm really curious about how he came to have the relationship with Blue Grizzly that he has today, but I'm sure it was a spectacular one. A relationship of trust has been built so that you can feel it from the sidelines.

One and one that shows a different relationship from the relationship between the lord and the familiar.

I was in a daze in my field of vision with him and the Blue Grizzly in my view.

 

"It's good."

 

I unconsciously muttered such a thing.

Perhaps he heard the voice, and Kyo and Halfa looked at each other. Kyo doesn't want Halfa to be distracted in a weird way anyway, so he shakes his hand as if he's in a hurry to fix it.

 

"Oh...... No, because I thought she was cute......

 

"Oh, seriously, sister, aren't you scared?"

 

To be honest, I regretted it after I said why I did it this way.

Kyo is pulling back while saying "Uh-huh", and Usato is like, "yes, it's cute, isn't it?! He shifts his body and shows off his bulllin. Bulllin, who is being shown, snorts softly and glares at me.

.........。

 

"Yes...... No, I'm not going to do that for now. Usato must also be busy because he has to meet the school principal, right?"

 

「......... That's one of them. There's also a knack training, so let's save it for another time."

 

I feel relieved and relieved.

No matter how quiet you are, it takes a certain amount of courage to touch a big monster.

 

"It's time for me to go, Halfa going to Gladys?"

 

"I have a few things I want to buy, so I'm going to say goodbye here today."

 

"Well, then, Kiriha and Kyo...... Oh, I'll go home after dark today...... After that, I'm sorry, but can you prepare some rice for Nak for the time being?"

 

"It doesn't matter, one or two more won't make much difference."

 

"Thank you, let's go, Bulllin."

 

He gives him a relieved look and thanks him, then turns his body towards the academy with a shout out to Bulllin.

A healing wizard boy dressed in white and a large bear demon ...... With another healing wizard on his back like a captured prey, they begin to walk side by side. ...... I mean, it's really strange.

I felt like I was so tired even though I hadn't spoken to him for that long......

 

"It's amazing, it's ...... Usato."

 

"Yes, but that's a greatness that shouldn't be emulated...... I think."

 

Next to Kyo, who was awe, I couldn't help but mutter, staring at the back of one and the other as they walked past me.

 

●

 

 

After parting ways with Kiriha and the others, whom I met during Nak's training, Burlin and I took the unconscious Nak to the Luqvis Academy where Gladys was.

I let the unconscious Nak and the demon Bulllyn wait outside, and I moved to the principal's office in the school, and the moment I came face to face with Gladys, she let out a big sigh.

 

"It's a mess."

 

"Huh."

 

Gladys's words sounded puzzled.

After all, did you train too much in the city, ...... did you do it in the same way as the Ringle Kingdom, but it didn't work.

 

"I'm sorry, I'll run somewhere else next."

 

"Isn't that ......?

 

「...... You trained in the city, didn't you? As for Burlin, I got permission yesterday...... That's all I can think ......."

 

"Yes, I gave you permission to take the Blue Grizzly out, but instead of letting it walk, you carry it on your back!" Who could have predicted that it would run through the city as it is!?"

 

...... It was certainly an anomaly when you think about it.

It's because I've gotten used to the people of the Ringle Kingdom. No, it's a magical city, so there are a lot of people parading around with monsters, so I thought it would be okay to run...... Hmmm.

 

"I was a little distraught............ Your story has reached me. I know about the commotion yesterday, so I know the general circumstances, but if you can, could you tell me how you came to act like that?"

 

"I understand."

 

Here's a brief explanation of the process from yesterday's commotion in the square to helping Nak with his training.

When she had finished explaining the outline, Gladys pressed her eyes lightly and gave her a puzzled expression.

 

「...... I'm sorry. The students here are causing trouble for you."

 

"No, it's like I stuck my neck ...... my own."

 

"Even without that, she...... It's our fault for letting Mina Liasia run rampant."

 

Is that girl good enough to be seen as a problem by Gladys?

I thought he was the kind of kid who looked like a brat, but it seems that the presence of Nack being eyed is more troublesome than I thought.

 

"Couldn't you say something from the school?"

 

"It's complicated, and from the point of view of those of us who are in charge, it means a betrayal of trust to the daughter of the house who is helping us. The aristocracy is a troublesome existence, and for them, who exchange information through various exchanges, the scandal of the academy means that it will be propagat......ed as it is. Luxvis is not a country made up of individuals. It is maintained by donations from many nobles and voters."

 

"So you can't warn him or guide him?"

 

"Yes, I will."

 

What's that?

It's too messy, and I understand why Gladys can't come out strong. It can't be helped because it is about the survival of this city. But Mina will not do as she pleases.

If this were the school in the world where I used to be, Mina would be a selfish problem child, and the aristocratic parents behind her would be monster parents. If this was the school of the world you used to live in, there are still some salvages to be had.

But Luxvis Academy is different. Without the backing of the aristocracy and other voters, you can't sustain a city.

Luxvis is similar to the school in the world where he used to live. No, because they are too similar, they seem to be inconsistent with their surroundings. It's kind of ironic, but my honest opinion is that it was too ahead of its time.

 

「...... You need a place to train him as a healing wizard, don't you?"

 

Gladys, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked a question.

 

「...... Eh, well, yes. I thought it would be a good idea to run around the city, so I thought I'd find another place."

 

"Then you can use the training ground, at least you should be able to train him in a better environment than running around the city. As the person in charge here, I can't interfere in the private battle between the students, but I personally support the healing wizard child. It may seem like a good idea for him."

 

It's certainly a convenient story.

Even though I can't do it, it's an inexcusable fact that I turned a blind eye to Mina's rampant behavior. But I don't have the right to condemn it, and I don't blame it. Even if I don't say it, Gladys knows it.

It's about switching your mindset and a new training ground.

The training ground is probably where Halfa and I fought yesterday. It's quite wide over there, so it seems to be okay to run Nak and Bulllin.

When I asked several times how much I could use it and whether the students who were in class would come, I was told that the training ground is always open a week before the monthly mock battle, so I can use it until the school closes, and for the same reason, it seems that the use in class is also restricted, so I can use it as much as I want.

 

「...... Then why don't you go back to training? Now, Gladys, I'm sorry for causing a ruckus."

 

"Don't drive through the city anymore."

 

He smiled softly and waved his hand lightly, bowed to her, opened the door, and walked out.

Now, wake up Nak, who has fallen asleep, and resume training. I've had a good break, so I'm sure Nak will be okay by now, and I'll do what I can to try out Nak's training. It's a magic academy, and it's not a bad idea to hone my own healing magic and lineage strengthening.

I love training, and I walk the way I came with a wry smile.

Then, I saw a tall woman I recognized walking in front of me.

 

"Hello, Carla."

 

"Oh, isn't it Usato, what's wrong with the school headmaster?"

 

"It's more like I've been called than an errand, and it's over."

 

Carla, a woman with a masculine tone reminiscent of Rose.

Well, the fact that she is passing through here means that Carla must have something to do with Gladys. It's bad to interrupt you, so let's cut the story off and hurry on.

I bow my head lightly and continue to walk past her. As I was about to go to Nak and Bullin, Carla, who had changed direction for some reason, kept pace with me so that they were lined up next to me.

...... Eh, why?

 

"That ......."

 

"Can I talk to you for a moment?...... Oh, don't worry about me. It's not something that is in such a hurry to be used by the head of the school."

 

I don't mind that...... Don't be nervous, I feel like Rose, who has curled up a little, is next to me, and I can't calm down.

Besides, if there is anything that this person would like to talk to me personally, there is only one thing that comes to mind.

 

"As you may have noticed, I know your master."

 

「...... Isn't it?"

 

The only thing that comes to mind is her, my boss and mentor.

He seems to have an understanding of healing magic, so I was curious about it. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask a lot of questions.

 

"If you know the leader, were you in the Ringle Kingdom?"

 

"Ah, now that I'm teaching here, I used to be a knight in the Ringle Kingdom, and that's when I got to know her, Rose. At that time, she was the youngest woman to rise to the rank of battalion commander. She was my idol and my goal."

 

I was aware that I had a decent position before the rescue team, but was battalion commander such a great position? Considering Rose's current ability, it's not strange at all.

He's basically unreasonable.

 

"Do you know each other personally?"

 

"It was, more than five years ago, but I still remember it. I wasn't one of her subordinates, but I had been taught by her on several occasions. She was strong, her single-minded physical ability could easily shattered even a steel sword......"

 

"Ugh, how much of a monster is that person?"

 

I've never smashed steel with my bare hands. It's just that I don't have the opportunity, but even if I'm told to do it, I'm not confident that I can do it unless it's a tree or a rock.

As I was looking at Rose's terrific saga with a bitter expression on her face, Carla looked at me and laughed happily.

 

"Haha, do you say? From my point of view, you're quite a category, aren't you? First of all, you should understand that after surviving her healing magic training, you are no longer considered a normal person."

 

"I'm only half a person, at least for the Leader."

 

Unspokenly, I was told that I was also a monster, which made me a little annoyed.

I certainly know how strong my body is. But it's disrespectful to Rose to be put in the same category as Rose, and I don't agree with it.

I don't want to have the "strength" of her, I respect her stance as a lifesaver in my own way, and my current goal is to get her to recognize herself as a healing wizard.

I'm nowhere near the passing line she set for me now. It's frustrating.

 

"As far as I'm concerned, you're more than capable of it, at least I've never seen anyone at your age strengthen its lineage to that extent."

 

「......... How did the leader of the group come to be a rescue team? You used to be in the amazing position of battalion commander, right?"

 

Nothing is more rewarding than gratuitous praise.

If I get any more compliments, I will soar, so I will be embarrassed, but I will try to change the subject. However, perhaps what she heard was unpleasant, and Carla had a stunned expression as if she was surprised for a moment.

 

"Well, did I ask you something wrong......?"

 

"No...... She created the Life Rescue Team before the Demon King was resurrected. Not as much as it is now, but the Ringle Kingdom had been skirmishing with the demon tribe before that. He never set up a move from this side, but it was not uncommon for two races that were incompatible from the beginning to draw their swords the next moment they came face to face."

 

Was there any conflict with the Demon Clan before the Demon King was resurrected?

As I gaze beyond the dreary corridors, I think of the peaceful scenery of the Ringle Kingdom at that time. ...... It doesn't seem to have changed as much as I thought. It seems to be as busy as ever.

 

"It was still peaceful, even though there was a feud with the subhumans as it is now, but if it weren't for that, ...... it would have been."

 

"Something like that?"

 

「...... Nope."

 

Carla replied with a suspicious voice, clearing her throat as if to deceive her. It's an attitude that hides something. It's suspicious, it's suspicious, Carla!

I thought I should ask a question, and when I was about to open my mouth to ask, she stopped in her tracks as she was walking next to me before I could do so.

When I turned around, Carla, who had a mysterious face, was looking at me as if she were looking into the distance.

 

"It's not something I should talk about, and if you want to hear it, you should hear it directly. That's all I can say, you......... It's very important to Rose."

 

"Such an exaggerated ......."

 

It's not like I'm joking.

What happened to Rose as she knew it?

...... I don't know, no matter how much I think about it, I have no idea. First, what does it mean that I am important? Important members...... It doesn't look good to say that, but I understand it better when you say so.

While I was thinking about it, Carla walked in the opposite direction. I waved my hand and looked at her as she disappeared into the hallway.

 

「............ Hah! It wasn't a case of standing still!!"

 

You don't have time to train your knacks.

I've got to run lightly today and get my body used to it. At the very least, tomorrow I need to be able to do both healing magic and running at the same time.

I turned around and ran ahead.

Perhaps he killed more time than he thought by talking to Carla, but in less than a minute, he arrived at Bulllyn near the entrance and Nak, who was resting like a futon on his back.

 

"You kept me waiting, Bulllin...... Now, I've got to wake him up."

 

If you rest your body for a few minutes, you'll be fine.

Truly, I'm sweet too. Rose certainly wouldn't have rested so much.

Sleeping with the whites of your eyes peeled and drooling? I shook him while calling out to him, repeating it for a few seconds, and Nak woke up with a groan.

 

"Are you okay?"

 

"Oh, that...... Mr. Usato? Oh, me...... What are you sleeping on...... Oh, yes, I have a scary dream right now...... I'm being chased to death by a monster .........."

 

"Hmm?"

 

I wonder what happened.

They say it's a scary dream, but I've heard that it's easier to have nightmares when you sleep for a short time, so you don't have to worry about it. Apparently, my body is fine, and I think I'll move on right away.

 

"Let's go, then."

 

"What?"

 

"What...... You're going to do it, aren't you?"

 

Nak stiffens when he sees my face.

I tilt my head at him, who has an expression on his face as if he doesn't know what he's talking about. And when he finally realized that he was on Bullin's back, he stiffened again when he saw Bullin's back with his hand.

Nak looks at me with a sluggish movement that seems to be onomatopoeia.

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"It's a continuation of the training."

 

In an instant, the light disappeared from Nak's eyes.
