Ferm, after the reunion

 

In the morning, he wakes up as usual, during the day he is made to run until he collapses by Rose, and at night he writes in his diary and sleeps as if he were collapsing.

That's my daily life as usual.

In such a daily life, I was oppressed by Rose as usual, but the next time I opened my eyes, I saw Usato's in front of me.

It seemed very real, but I decided I was dreaming.

He's now on a journey to deliver letters. There is no way that such a person would appear in front of me without warning.

Having concluded that, I started to punch Usato.

In my dreams, I should be able to beat up Usato...... But for some reason, as before, I was stunned without any way to do it.

 

"How long have you been sleeping?"

"Fugya!?"

 

I woke up with a tremendous shock on my forehead.

I guess I should say that I was woken up, but I already know who woke me up, so I get up even though I am writhing in pain.

In front of me was Rose with her fingers and Nak looking into my face.

 

"From the looks of it, it looks like you've been talking to Usato."

"Over there? What, Usato......?"

「...... Take plenty of breaks. Rest your body in the meantime."

 

Break!? No blood, no tears, this woman! I can't say that even if my mouth splits, I nod my head.

After saying that, Nak tilted his head and called out to Rose as she walked towards the dormitory.

 

"Are you going somewhere?" Mr. Rose."

"I've got my way to the castle, I think it's going to be fine...... You know what I'm going to do?"

 

At the glance that even the monster seems to be intimidating, Nak shakes his head many times, just like me.

It's not surprising that this woman can sense that she has slacking off, even if she doesn't see it. Or rather, I have sensed it several times.

Although I was suspicious of her behavior, I saw off Rose, relaxed my shoulders and sat down on the ground.

 

"Whew...... how are you, Ferm-san, Usato-san?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"What? I mean, wasn't that what they called witchcraft?"

 

...... Hmm?

I don't understand the meaning of Nak's question.

I tilted my head and began to explain what had happened to me.

This guy says that I was drawn into Usato's place by magic and came back unconscious.

......。

 

"Wasn't that a dream!?"

「...... Is Mr. Ferm an idiot?"

"Ugh!"

 

While yelling at Nak, who looks dumbfounded, he remembers his exchange with Usato.

Looking back, I feel like there was someone else besides Usato.

Usato was also Usato, and he was stunned to see me being belligerent...... In the end, I was decoupined and slapped on the head.

 

"Does that mean I was knocked unconscious by him again...... Damn it! What is "well done"! !! I'm not happy at all when you praise me!!"

 

As I stomped on the ground to vent my frustration, I noticed Nak's gaze looking at me with a smile.

 

"What's the matter, ...... look at me with a disgusting smile."

"No, I don't know...... For some reason, I ...... that Mr. Ferm is the same as me."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

"I'm not going to say it because I'm going to deny it anyway, so it's time to get back to training. If you slack off, you're scared of what will happen later."

「......」

 

What is the same as this guy? Are you trying to confuse me by saying something I don't understand?

I'm not going to take that kind of speculation, so I'm going back to training quietly. ...... I don't want to be found out for slacking off and being beaten up by Rose.

...... Speaking of which...

 

「...... What was that......?"

 

When Usato touched the armor made by my magic, something strange happened...... I felt like that.

It's like the armor started to move on its own.

In the first place, it is strange that my armor changes its shape without my will. I had never had such a thing when I was in the Demon King's army.

 

"I don't care, my magic is sealed again."

 

The magic tool on his neck, which he thought had been removed, has returned to normal before he knows it.

Now that magic is not available, there is no point in thinking about anomalies.

 

"The next time I see you, I'll show you what ...... look at!"

"What are you muttering to yourself? Don't talk to me in vain, let's get back to training."

"I know!"

"Oh, don't go ahead a minute!"

 

He yells at Nak, who has a stunned face, and starts running.

Look at it now, a monster in human skin. The next time I see you, I'll make you stronger than you were today......

I made up my mind to do so, and I focused on training.

Quiet story Suzune in a neighboring country

 

Kingdom of Glarial.

That was the third country we visited to deliver the letter.

Handing over the letter was surprisingly easy. Instead, we were given a commission by the king of the kingdom of Glarial.

 

"I want you to save Mialak from the crisis?"

 

Mialak, a city located next to the kingdom of Glarial.

By the time we arrived in the kingdom of Greal, there was already a problem in the city.

A knight belonging to the Mearlark is out of control, freezing the water around the Mearark and destroying the city.

And the people of Miarak are now taking refuge in the kingdom of Glarial.

Even though it is a city, the number of people living in Mearlark is not small. The kingdom of Glarial also saves food and supplies as much as possible and shares them with the people of Myalak, but not for long.

If this continues, we will have to abandon the people of Mialak.

Just when we had to make a ruthless decision, we appeared before King Greal.

 

"Usato-kun......"

 

The castle of Myalark is still in touch with Hoobard.

By the time we arrived in the kingdom of Glarial, Usat and the others had already arrived in Mialak, and it seemed that they were working to stop the runaway knights.

...... When I heard the contents of the communication, I was relieved that it seemed that he had not changed at all, as he seemed to be demonstrating the same outrageousness as before, such as setting up a hand-to-hand battle with a knight who was running away alone.

 

"Are you worried?"

「...... Oh, I'm worried."

 

Outside the gates of the kingdom of Glarial, I was watching the people of Miarak resting in makeshift tents, and Kurmia came next to me.

 

"If you ask me, the runaway knight is the one who said he would have been given the title of hero, and he is rampaging while turning into a dragon...... I wish something happened to Usato-kun, ......."

 

I don't know what's going on in Mealak either.

However, when you hear that someone who has turned into a dragon is on the rampage, you can imagine how serious the situation is.

Dragons are portrayed as strong beings in every story. That should be no different in this world.

 

"So, what do you really think?"

"I'm too embarrassed to have a face to let me see."

 

She hides her face with her hands at Kurumia's words and writhes in shame.

I've done a lot of things to get to this ......!

What's more, the rumors have gone all the way around and ...... have become a lot of trouble!

 

"Usato-sama is also in trouble, perhaps because of his peculiarity as a healing wizard, he has a tail fin attached to the rumors, and it is supposed to be amazing."

"Ugh......"

"That's it, if you beat a demon with your bare hands, or if you blind it with healing magic, or if you beat it in the end, the person who was beaten by Usato-sama will not be able to move as if he were in a bondage...... There were rumors about it."

「......」

 

In the past few months, Usato has been treated like a superhuman.

And I'm supposed to be like a sorcerer...... Usato doesn't do that, like blinding him with healing magic...... It should be.

 

"The truth is, I know that Usato-kun will be fine...... But I don't know what kind of face I should meet. Perhaps, definitely, no, absolutely, Usato is trying to get revenge on me. ...... No, that's what I'd like to do, but I'm too embarrassed to meet you first and I can't make up my mind ......."

「...... It's a hassle."

"Isn't it terrible!?"

 

I'm aware that it's a hassle, but it's most hurtful to be told face-to-face!

At my words, Kurmia shrugs her shoulders, as if stunned.

 

"I don't know about your maiden heart, we're going to help Usato-sama, that's fine."

"Gugu, my squire is too strict......

"Besides, there are those who are suffering now, and we cannot turn a blind eye to it. Isn't that right?"

「...... I know. So I guess that's why we're getting ready to go."

"It was kind of escapism."

"Oh, that's ......."

 

This kid really pokes you where it hurts.

But it's still a fact. Just because I don't have the face to meet Usato-kun doesn't mean that not going to Miarak is not an option from the beginning.

Right now, in front of me are the people of Mialak who can't go home, and behind me are the people of the Kingdom of Glarial who are doing their best for them.

First of all, we have to ignore the feelings of individuals and do something about the problems of Mearlark.

 

"Brave--!"

"Hmm?"

 

As he was about to signal his companions to depart for Mialak, a knight from the kingdom of Greal rushed towards him from the castle.

Mindlessly, wondering how his expression was full of joy, he spoke to the knight who was breathing heavily.

 

"What's wrong? I was going to leave for Mealak......"

"You don't have to do that......! The crisis of the Myalark is over today!!"

"What?"

"This!"

 

The knight presented him with a letter that would have been sent by Hooard from Mealark.

Wondering, he opened the letter and read it, and found the news that the Usat had succeeded in stopping the knights who were rampaging in Mialak.

 

"Well, Usato did it, as expected of Usato-kun."

"He is beyond our imagination, and perhaps he should have followed Usato-sama after all......"

"Can you stop telling me to be heard!? I'm going to get hurt normally!?"

 

I'm joking," Kurumia replies, shrugging her shoulders as she turns her attention to the news.

...... If the crisis in Myarak is over, then I don't need to go. I'm a little sad that I won't be able to see Usato, but I'm really glad that Miarak was saved.

As I read the news with half joy and half regret, a sentence caught my eye.

 

"Hmm? A shining silver right arm? Usato the healing wizard who runs on the ice with his black familiar......?"

 

Hmm?...... Hmm?

Oh, that? What does that mean? Did he have silver gear on his right arm? Run on the ice with a black familiar...... Is it Bulllin? But he wasn't black, and he .......

The person who sent the message may have tried to give credibility to the news, so he added a handwritten picture to make it easier to understand.

If you look at it, you can see that Usato and his friends are the same as when they parted ways in Luxvis.

However, on his right arm was a gauntlet that was too good-looking, to say the least.

In addition, on his right shoulder was an owl that was too cute, to say the least.

...... Hmm?

 

"No, really, you managed to get away with it before we went, Suzune-san. ...... Mr. Suzune?"

「...... No, it's cunning!"

"Huh?"

 

Kurumia leaks a bare voice at my words.

But my shoulders shook so much that it didn't bother me.

Leaving aside the fact that he has a gauntlet that we didn't see in Luxvis, it's cunning that he has a cute stubby creature called an owl on his shoulder despite the presence of Bulllin, ...... Usato! I don't even have an encounter with a familiar...... Envious......!

 

"Somehow, Usato-kun, aren't you traveling in another world with me!?"

 

Usato-kun, I wonder what kind of journey you are ......!

When I see you again, I'm scared to imagine how much you......ve grown.
