After traveling in a horse-drawn carriage, we arrived safely in the magical city of Luxvis.

This is my second visit to the city, but not much has changed from before. However, even so, the thought of Kazuki and Senpai heading on their respective journeys from here made me feel a little emotional.

 

"Unlike last time, we will continue to drive to the center of the city in a carriage, and we don't know if the talks will start anytime soon, but please be prepared."

 

I nodded at Mr./Ms.'s words.

In the course of my travels, I have met people of high status many times, but I still can't get used to it. You have to be careful and make sure you're well-groomed.

With that in mind, as he straightens the collar of his uniform, he notices that Kazuki is looking at the scenery outside the carriage.

Beyond his gaze, he saw the city of Luxvis.

 

"It's still a place full of kids."

"Like any other country I've visited on my travels, this one is unique enough."

「…… The kingdom of Nirvarna that I went to is the complete opposite. It was a place with a lot of physical people."

 

Come to think of it, I hadn't heard much about the Kingdom of Nirvarna from Kazuki. He told me that he had a tournament in the arena.

 

"I'm sure Kazuki was doing a tournament or something?"

"Ah," said the king, "if you want to get what you want, win it by force!" I couldn't help but be told that I ...... to participate."

"He's a very aggressive king......

"Haha, I'm not a bad person, but that's why I've been able to train my sword skills."

 

However, if Kazuki's words are true, the soldiers of the kingdom of Nirvarna, who are flesh-blooded, are the exact opposite of ordinary healing wizards.

There are exceptions, me and Rose, but they will treat me as a general healing wizard.

At that time, I am a little worried that I will be disrespected.

 

"Realize that you're insane, don't you?"

 

I remember what Amako said to me.

Now that I'm the deputy leader, I'm here with the sign of the Rescue Team on my back.

There is no way that I should imitate the name of the rescue team.

 

"Okay, I've decided, let's try to behave like the leader of the group during the meeting."

 

Like the last time I came to Luxvis, I don't want to behave in a way that makes me feel bad for the students.

As I was making up my mind, Mr./Ms. called out to me if she heard me muttering.

 

"Usato-sama, I thought I heard a very disturbing murmur just now...... It's your fault, isn't it?"

"No, I mean exactly what I mean, I have a position as the deputy leader of the rescue team. It would not be good for the Ringle Kingdom for me to be underestimated by my appearance, behavior, and attributes as a healing wizard."

"Yes, that's right, but I don't need to refer to Rose-sama ......."

"I know, the leader is indeed a horrible man, to say the least. But that's the kind of person he is, and that's why he's just right this time."

 

Yes, the aura emitted by that demon leader is intimidating to most opponents.

Normally, it would unnecessarily detract from the other person, but it is perfect for face-to-face meetings.

If you're going to be ridiculed, don't let them do it.

Show it with your presence, not your words.

I know that I'm scared of imitating Rose by the way the amako reacted to me before I joined Hinomoto.

 

"I don't want to be ridiculed just because I'm a healing wizard, I think it's good."

"I agree, because first impressions are important at gatherings like this. Besides...... There is also the matter of the caricature of Usato-kun that I spread as an article ......."

 

It's also a chance to get rid of the caricature of that prince's face.

Instead, there is a possibility that rumors will spread that it is scary, but it is better than the princely style.

Okay, let's give it a try.

 

"During the meeting, I——"

 

Like Rose, she brushes her bangs with her left hand and smiles thinly as her gaze sharpens.

With the image of Rose in my mind, I leaned my back against the wall of the carriage and looked up as I crossed my legs.

 

"I'm going to try to stay like this as much as I can in Luxvis, and I don't think I'll ever be fooled by this."

"It's going to be scary, yes, it's okay. You don't look like a healing wizard."

"I don't know if I'm complimented, but thank you."

 

He thanked Amako lightly and looked over at Kazuki, Senpai, and Welsey Mr./Ms..

Kazuki and Senpai react in admiration, but Mr./Ms. is stunned.

 

"Oh, you really look like Mr./Ms. Rose!"

"Hey, people change their atmosphere so much...... Wow, wild Usato-kun is also ......."

 

It seems to be quite popular with Senpai and Kazuki.

However, I can't stay in this state forever, so I quickly relax my shoulders and talk to Mr./Ms., who is still screaming.

 

"Should I stop after all?"

"Well, Usato Mr./Ms. doesn't act badly...... I was amazed at how strange it was. The atmosphere was very similar to Rose's."

"Well, that's how much I was squeezed by the leader, and it might be more accurate to say that I learned it naturally rather than imitating it."

"It's just that my mental structure is closer to Rose'Mr./Ms........"

 

I thought Amako was muttering something, but I couldn't hear it. I thought it might be the case myself, so I dared to go through it.

As they talked, the carriage stopped, perhaps because they had arrived at the center of the city.

While looking out at the scenery outside, we lightly groomed ourselves before getting out of the carriage.

 

"This is ......."

 

Nearby, we could see the school building of the Luqvis Academy, and in front of the building next to it, which was no less than the school building, the carriage we were riding in and the carriage that seemed to belong to another country were parked.

There are also other people who don't seem to be students of Luxvis.

 

"The meeting will take place here in the Great Library of Luxvis."

"When you say library, do you mean that you talk to people where books are lined up?"

"No, we are supposed to meet in the great hall that was built for the meeting in advance, and this is a place that was originally made for that purpose, right?"

 

Mr./Ms.'s explanation exclaimed me.

When I came here before, I didn't set foot in it, but when I saw it in front of me, it was huge.

As I looked up at the Great Library, I saw Mr./Ms. Sigurd, who had been my bodyguard, talking to Mr./Ms.. Welsey.

 

"Wealthy"

"Oh, I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to inform Principal Gladys, who is preparing a meeting for me, that I'm arriving, so please stay here. A guide will be coming soon, so please head to the inn first."

"Yes""

"Also, the meeting itself will start the day after the Four Kingdoms are aligned, so it might be a good idea for Mr./Ms. Amako to meet the people she wants to meet before then."

"Yes, thank you, Mr./Ms. Welsey."

 

Smiling kindly at Amako as she said this, Mr./Ms. Welsey headed towards the Great Library with Mr./Ms. Sigurd.

They will probably go to discuss the arrangements for the meeting.

 

"So, when you go to leave your luggage, do you want to go see Kiriha and the others?"

"yes, let's do that."

 

I nodded and decided to wait with my seniors for someone to pick me up.

The luggage is carried by the knights, so I don't have anything on hand, so I talk to the senior who seems to be wary of the surroundings from earlier.

 

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"No, I just found a carriage with the coat of arms of Kaumherio, I know it's not coming, but I'm a little wary ......."

 

He doesn't look like his usual seniors.

When I think of Kamherio, there is one person that comes to mind, but is it that person?

 

"Vigilance? That's ———."

"Oh, Suzune, it's Suzune!"

"Gee, this voice is ......."

 

I turned to my senior, who had a disgusted expression, in the direction of the voice.

From there, I saw a red-haired boy of about the same age, accompanied by several knights of the guard, running towards him, waving to his senior.

 

「…… Why are you here? Prince Kyle."

"Huh, you don't have to give me an honorific title, feel free to call me Kyle."

"Okay, so why are you here, Prince Kyle?"

 

Oh, the seniors are drier than I thought.

Is this a return to the senior before he was summoned?

Prince Kyle begins to speak triumphantly to the cold attitude of his senior.

 

"Let me answer your question, because I also participated in the meeting for the battle against the Demon King's army! No, let's tell the truth! That's to see you too!"

"Oh, yes, that's why I should have declined your confession."

"If I had succumbed to that level of setback, I'd have been mentally killed by my sister long ago!"

 

It's a different story ...... this.

What can I say, I feel like I'm listening and I'm not listening.

 

"So, where is the healing wizard? I'm here with you, aren't I?"

「…… Uh-huh."

 

The senior looks at me hesitantly.

He doesn't know what to say about me.

I want to go see Kiriha and the others as soon as possible, but I can't help it.

With a furrow between my brows and a sullen look on my arms, I move next to my senior.

 

"I'm Usato, a healing wizard."

"What, was it you, who stood there just now? I didn't see it at all, but I ...... see how similar it was to the caricature."

 

Prince Kyle stiffened when he saw my face.

Naturally, I'm creating an atmosphere that frightens my travel companions.

 

"Suzune, what is it, a man with a physiognomy who seems to have gotten rid of some of these people?"

"He's Usato-kun."

"The common sense of the healing wizard will be broken!?"

 

It sounds like a lot of things, but I know it and I'm in a bad mood, so I don't say anything.

But is there still a rivalry with me? He thrust his finger at me, his voice trembling slightly.

 

"Are you really a healing wizard?"

"Of course, you can handle healing magic like this."

"Oh, it's true......

 

When he shows the healing magic in his palm, he has a twitching expression.

Prince Kyle, who looked at me and my seniors alternately and began to bite his nails and mumble something, was talking to the knight of the guard behind him as if to give up.

 

"Kyle, I don't ...... do this very often."

"After all, he's a healing wizard, and it's decided to be tinsel......!"

"No, that's not what I meant, it's a bit of a stretch to ask for a duel in a place like this——"

"Don't worry, I, as a prince, don't have two letters of defeat. Hey, Healing Wizard!"

 

Prince Kyle, who shook off the restraint of the guard knight, pointed his finger at me.

At that moment, the knights notice a woman approaching from behind and turn blue in the face. A woman with a face somewhat similar to Prince Kyle's approached behind him——、

 

"My name is the First Prince of Kamherio! Kyle Lark Calm Herio! I'm going to duel you to decide the sex——"

"This fool"

"Should I apply!?"

 

He slammed a beautiful low kick into Prince Kyle's leg and knocked him down.

The red-haired woman, who looked a little older than us, straightened her cloak that stretched from her shoulders and pulled up Prince Kyle's chest, which was writhing on the ground.

 

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Oh, oh, sister!? This is the ...... of it."

 

Older sister......!?

The woman who looked down at him with a neat doll-like face certainly resembled Kyle.

 

"What did you, the benefactor Brave, confess in the kingdom and be greatly embarrassed when you smashed the ball, what did you mean to say to the Healing Wizard Hall that you heard rumors about this time?"

 

He opens his mouth as he stutters at the woman who forced Prince Kyle to his feet.

 

"Sister! I'm going to challenge him to a duel as a man!"

"Have you ever been a man?"

"It's terrible!? How can you say such a terrible thing, sister!"

「……?」

"I don't even realize I'm saying terrible things!?"

 

Prince Kyle is shocked by the woman who tilts her head with a stunned expression.

 

"No, I was genuinely wondering what you were talking about when you profess to have more than one person in your home country ...... have feelings for."

"Oh, no, that's ......."

"Huh......"

 

With a sigh of dismay, she continued.

 

"There's no way you're going to beat him."

"Why do you swear it!?"

"On the other hand, how can you think you can win? Look, does that look like a normal healing wizard? You can't see it, can you? You're like that. It's going to knock you down with just one finger."

 

What's that. Is it a new kind of spiritual practice?

It's painful to have to be told to because of it, even though I'm scared of myself.

I declared it to my seniors earlier, but I won't do it anymore except for meetings. This is a bit mentally unpleasant.

Anyway, did the seniors know about Prince Kyle's sister, Mr./Ms.?

 

"Senpai, did you know that he has an older sister, Mr./Ms.?"

"I knew I had an older sister and a younger brother, but I hadn't seen them because they were in different countries when I visited ...... Calmerio."

 

So, this is the first time I've met my seniors.

However, Prince Kyle, who is being abused earnestly because of his unexpected personality, looks a little pity.

 

"You're suspicious of even being a wizard in the first place, right? All the rumors about him are true, except for the crap you spread through your misdeeds."

「…… Oh, that's a lie."

"If you think it's a lie, fight it."

 

…… Hmm?

It was a very natural progression.

Prince Kyle is also puzzled.

 

"What, are you sure?"

"Yes, I don't mind, as long as the other side agrees......

 

A person who seems to be Prince Kyle's sister who looks at us with a sideways glance.

I can feel something in his gaze that seems to be guessing at me.

 

"But it's a good city...... It's a pity. I ...... that the First Prince of my honorable kingdom of Kamherio would be so traumatized in his spirit that he would give up his right to the throne."

"I've got the truth out now, and I'm glad it's convenient."

"Yes."

"Don't deceive me there!?"

 

It ...... that Prince Kyle has completely turned into a tsukkomi.

Somehow, Mr./Ms. older sister seemed to be more serious, but apparently not ...... case.

 

"If you don't inherit the throne, Calmherio will be mine, and if you suffer a great deal of mental damage at this time, I will kick you down later...... You don't have to talk about it."

"Doesn't my sister have any love for her younger brother!?"

"Yes, there is, right? I can't help but think that my only brother, Bren, who will be three years old this year, is so cute."

"I'm one of my brothers, too!"

 

The woman is stunned by Prince Kyle's pleas.

I really want to leave this place, but I can't do that, so I decided to talk to him.

 

"That ......."

"Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Naia Lark Kamherio, the first princess of the Kingdom of Kamherio."

"Oh, be polite...... My name is Usat Ken, Deputy Leader of the Ringle Kingdom."

"As you may know, I'm the brave Inukami Suzune."

"I'm also the brave Ryusen Kazuki."

 

She looked at us in turn as we introduced herself, and Princess Naia smiled contentedly.

 

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience my short-sighted, shallow, and stupid brother has caused."

"It's simple, it's simple, it's simple, it'...... it."

 

Next to Princess Naia, Prince Kyle is very depressed.

What does it mean to make him look like he's protecting his younger brother and slap him in the face...... Let's refer to it.

 

"An alien who was summoned with the Hero-sama, even though he is as respected as the Hero at that time...... I'm really sorry. My brother is still just an ignorant child, so I hope you will forgive me ......."

"No, no, don't be so afraid! Prince Kyle hasn't done anything in the first place!"

 

As expected, the royal family cannot be so feared.

Even if the other person doesn't intend to make it a problem, it's a big problem for those around them.

 

「…… Will you really forgive me? If I had done it wrong, it could have led to a problem that would have caused a rift in the relationship of trust with the Lingle Kingdom......."

"Yes."

"Isn't it unforgivable?"

"What?"

"Can I punch you in the face with this spatula?"

"No, you don't have to do anything ......."

"Oh, don't worry, it won't be a problem."

"Why are you trying to proceed with the premise that I'm going to hit Prince Kyle......?"

"That's right, sister! Why are you so stubborn trying to beat me!?"

 

This person is a bastard who pretends to be low!

And you don't listen to me half the time!

Leaving me and Prince Kyle apart, Princess Naia has a slightly over-the-top reaction and mouths the rest of the words.

 

"Oh, Usato-sama, what a generous will! - How can you give such compassion to a foolish brother who persistently followed a woman and tried to challenge you to a game without being able to defend himself...... I was very impressed. As expected, he is the best friend of the Brave and the best disciple of Master Rose, the leader of the rumored lifesaving team."

"That's what you're going to say......

 

Why can't I just rejoice?

Is it because I know this information casually, or because I pinpoint words that make me happy?

But I know he's saying it from the bottom of his heart. But what...... There is also a sense of discomfort, like when I talked to Lucas in Samaria.

Princess Naia shifts her gaze from me to Senpai and Kazuki.

 

"It's the first time I've met Suzune-sama face-to-face, but he's a very beautiful person, and I can tell at a glance that Kazuki-sama is quite strong. It's a pleasure to meet you here."

"Oh, I guess ......?"

"Hahaha, it's kind of itchy......"

 

Contrary to Kazuki, who is usually shy, Senpai notices something and smiles twitchingly.

At this point, I realized the true nature of the discomfort I had earlier.

 

"I have a suggestion, but we met here is one of the connections, so could you give us a little time after this?"

"Well, what is time?"

"I just want to talk to you for a moment, of course I won't let you take too long, and I'd like to do my best to entertain you, but what do you think?"

 

At this point, I made eye contact with my senior, who was probably aware of Princess Naia's intentions, and nodded once before answering her.

　

"It's an invitation, but we have other plans, so I'll decline it this time, and if possible, I hope you can invite me another time......

"Well, I'm sorry, but there are plenty of opportunities as long as the talks are going on, and let's talk about it then."

「…… Eh, yes. That's right."

 

Nodding reluctantly, she smiled thinly and grabbed Prince Kyle by the collar of his neck.

 

"Okay, we're going back, and the next time we see each other is when we're talking. Thank you in advance. Kyle, you've got a sermon waiting for you, so be prepared."

"Huh!? Oh, sister! Come here and give me a sermon!"

 

Princess Naia leaves this place dragging Prince Kyle as if there is no question asked.

When I saw him off, I involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

 

"Senpai, Kazuki, that's it...... You're here to pull it out, aren't you......?"

"Well, it's not strange in the sense of the country of Kamherio, but I didn't expect the princess herself to come so blatantly......

"I'm used to being recruited, but not so far. They're more like martial artists or gladiators than wizards, so I'm sure they'll like Usato."

"I'll be careful......

 

I wondered what it was, and the image of Daitetsu Mr./Ms. and the others who had an arm wrestling match in a hidden village came to mind.

I made a terrible prediction, but I don't want it to be ...... reality.
