I had heard that Mr./Ms. had already arrived at Calmhelio, but I never thought that I would meet her at such a time.

Moreover, I didn't expect that it was the person Prince Kyle was arguing .......

 

"Honestly, I'm glad you guys came......!"

 

Leona Mr./Ms., who walked up to me and my senior, muttered tiredly.

Leona Mr./Ms. looking towards Prince Kyle .......

 

"What are you doing as a royal?"

"Whew!?"

"How can I correct that snobbishness and bad temperament that creates a situation where I can't refuse an invitation......

"Oh, no, I didn't mean to do that!? older sisterreductioneyeI'm hooked! If the toes arereductioneyeI'm hooked!?"

"It's more unconsciousnatureUsRealize that it is bad."

 

…… Well, it's going to take a little longer.

I turn my gaze back to Mr./Ms. and call out with a wry smile.

 

"Well, a disaster? It was."

"I know how it feels, because I've been in a similar situation before......

 

Perhaps it overlaps with the situation at the time, but the seniors are also somewhat uneasy.

Nea on her shoulder also sighed at the sight of Prince Kyle, perhaps stunned by the situation.

 

"When is Mr./Ms. here?"

"Last night, you guys...... It looks like we've just arrived."

"Yes, I hate to say this in this situation, but I'm glad I met you early."

 

It was unexpected, but it's good to be able to join Leona Mr./Ms..

I'd like to share information as soon as possible, but .......

 

"Speaking of which, is Mr./Ms. alone?"

"No, I'm ...... one of my subordinates."

"I'm here."

 

With that voice, a woman comes from the direction Leona Mr./Ms. came.

She was dressed in a blue uniform reminiscent of Miarak, and the woman with her flaxen hair and unfussy atmosphere was someone I knew.

 

"Usato-kun, do you remember me?"

"Mr./Ms., isn't it? Charon's Mr./Ms. Mr./Ms. back."

"Yes, yes, I'm glad you remembered."

 

Mirfa Mr./Ms. the back Mr./Ms. of the Karon Mr./Ms. whom I met at a large-scale meeting in Mialak.

When I was surprised that she had come as a subordinate of Mr./Ms. Leona, who had the image of being a retired knight, Leona Mr./Ms.glared at Mr./Ms. Mirfa with wide eyes.

 

"Hey, why didn't you help me earlier?"

"It's interesting because it's an unusual situation, so it'...... interesting."

"Are you really my friend!?"

 

Leona Mr./Ms. is talking to Mirfa Mr./Ms. in a hushed voice.

I can't hear her voice, but Mr./Ms. Mirfa is smiling, so it doesn't seem serious.

 

"I'm a subordinate for the time being, so show me how to help ......!!"

"Of course, I would have helped him if he had been bad...... I was rescued by a prince in white instead of a white horse, so it's okay, isn't it?"

"Hey......"

 

Mr./Ms. looked sideways at me and was upset.

As I was suspicious of her, Mr./Ms. Mirfa turned to me and my senior.

 

"Nice to meet you, Hero of the Kingdom of Ringle, I'm Mirfa and one of the knights led by Leona, the Hero of Miarak. I am here as an escort on the occasion of the celebration."

 

After greeting the seniors up to that point, Mr./Ms. puts her hand to her mouth and speaks in a low voice so that the people around her cannot hear it.

 

"There are only three knights to accompany Leona, including me, and I'm the only one who has heard about the situation from Master Falga."

"I see...... huh? Then Charon's Mr./Ms. ......."

"I'm Charon's replacement, I'm retired, but I've been chosen to be Leona's trustworthy person."

 

Well, if you know someone, you can tell right away even if they are influenced by the devil.

While admiring the reason for Mirfa Mr./Ms.'s selection, Naia returns to Mr./Ms. as if Prince Kyle's punishment is over.

　

"I'm really sorry, Brave Leona."

"Oh, no, no, it's not that important, so ......."

"It's important enough, how disrespectful it is to the brave men who have come to our country...... Hah, there's already a lot of problems going on ......."

 

In addition to the demon problem, I ...... feel sorry for Prince Kyle for his heartache.

I'm sure Prince Kyle doesn't mean any offense, but he's hopelessly bad .......

 

●

 

Mr./Ms. Naia left Prince Kyle with the guards and led me and my seniors to the inn.

Mr./Ms. Naia had to tell the castle first that she had returned, so after listening to the explanation for the time being, she decided to act separately.

We ended up staying in a room of ridiculous size.

It was more like a mansion than a room in terms of size, and in addition to the lobby-like space, there were a number of rooms, all of which were equipped with beds and tables for sleeping.

 

"It's like there's a room in the room with a lot of Mr./Ms., well, I'm used to it as a young lady...... Hey!"

"I know you're a young lady...... I can't get used to it......

 

After putting down your luggage, return to the living room.

There are no eyes of anyone other than me and my seniors here, so Nea is also a person, and Ferm is resting on the sofa after disassimilation.

 

"You can finally rest in a proper bed, Ferm has been assimilated for a long time, so you're tired, aren't you?"

"Not really, it's pretty comfortable while you're assimilating."

"Ah, that's true."

 

…… What on earth is going on in the mysterious space during assimilation?

I can't confirm it myself, but I'm curious to see how it really is.

 

"What's going on with the food?" I can't eat in plain sight."

"It looks like you'll bring it directly to your room, there's a chance you'll be poisoned, but if you let Usato see the poison, you'll be fine."

"You should feel more guilty about me."

 

If you say to do it or not to do it, I'll do it.

At worst, if someone other than me eats the poison, I can heal it instantly, and I can also make it resistant to the poison with Nea's resistance magic.

 

"There is also a bath, and you can do laundry if you ask the servants, so you don't have to worry about living here."

"There are some places that are overkill, such as dedicated public baths."

 

I saw it a while ago, and I was surprised.

Isn't it a little too much to spend on entertaining the brave?

 

"After that, it's perfect if you have a place to work out physically."

"I hear there is."

"Is there one!?"

 

I was surprised by Nea's words as she read the spread that described the facilities of the inn.

I was going to concentrate on training for the most demonic power manipulation, but I don't know if there is a training facility.

 

"I heard that there is an indoor training ground behind the entrance that we entered, maybe it's only for the people who will be participating in this festival?"

"It's a lot of work......

 

I wonder if it's a facility used for warm-up things before the festival.

I'd like to go see it for a while, but it's an afterthought for now...... Uh-huh.

 

「…… You're here."

"Leona and the others?"

"Yes."

 

He reacted to the healing magic that stretched thinly around the door.

Immediately after sensing this, the doorbell rings, and I immediately walk to the exit and open the door.

 

"Mr./Ms. Leona, Mr./Ms. Mirfa."

"I'm sorry, I just got to my room."

"No, you can unpack as much as you want later."

 

Leona Mr./Ms. and Mirfa Mr./Ms. are welcomed into the room and seated in the lobby with sofas and tables.

 

"I've been waiting for you, tea."

"Thank you, Nea."

"You're the rumored familiar, and you're cute in human form."

"Hmmm, yes, I guess so."

 

Nea, who was praised by Mr./Ms. Mirfa and felt better, offers them a cup of tea.

 

"I'm going to share this information first."

"Oh, please."

 

He was accompanied by Mr./Ms. and the current state of the Kingdom of Calmhelio.

When I tell her that the devil is already involved, Leona Mr./Ms.'s expression becomes grim as if she understands the seriousness of the situation.

 

"A demon that takes advantage of the festivities to go dark, it seems to be getting into a lot of trouble."

"yes, I was really just supposed to find out Sia's hometown......

"I ...... that the demon possessed Shea is involved."

"We don't know yet."

 

Shea is related to Hisago Mr./Ms., the previous hero, so it's not unrelated, but .......

To be honest, I don't know anything at all at the moment.

 

"First of all, don't be distracted by the fact that we are aware of the devil lurking in this country."

"Okay, so we should have the minimum amount of contact?"

"No, I don't think it's too explicit."

 

At Mr./Ms.'s words, the senior with his arms crossed shook his head.

 

"We are comrades who fought together in the battle against the Demon King, and our relationship is not shallow, is it?"

"Oh, yes, yes."

"Senior, please don't embarrass Mr./Ms. Leona."

"Huh?"

 

But I know what you mean.

I guess my seniors want to say that we, who are not shallow in terms of relationships, may be suspicious if we take an unnatural distance.

 

"Well, for now, we're going to wait for information from Naia and get involved in the festivities."

"I see......

"Speaking of which, Mr./Ms. has you ever participated in the Hero Shujie Festival?"

"No, this is my first time."

 

Does that mean that Mr./Ms. doesn't know what she will do at the festival?

Well, I'm worried about the devil, but I'm also scared that I don't know what I'm going to do at the festival.

 

"However, depending on the content of the festival, it seems that the heroes of each country will compete with each other, so we will be competitors in that case."

"Huh, I'll tell you what I want, Usato-kun."

 

I smile and nod to the senior who looks at me and makes a fist.

 

"Yes, Mr./Ms., let's work together to do our best."

"What?"

"Usato-kun, are you on that side!?"

 

No, I'm just kidding.

I wonder if this is a trend that I will participate in.

It doesn't have anything to do with fighting, it's going to be an obstacle course or a running system.

 

"Well, let's get rid of the formality...... What are we going to do now?"

"What's going on ......?"

 

Ferm asks impatiently at Nea's words, and she raises her index finger and opens her mouth in a lifted manner.

 

"We've come all the way to Calmhelio, so let's take a walk around the city."

 

Take a walk.

…… For a moment, he glances sideways at his seniors and looks forward.

I could see that my senior's expression was hardening, perhaps thinking the same thing.

Okay, I'm ...... here.

 

"Nea, we didn't come here to play."

"It's also important to check the state of the city, right?"

 

　……。

 

"What would you do if the devil took advantage of your flirtatious feelings?"

"It's not a problem as long as you're there."

 

　……。

 

"Hey, Usato, what are you really thinking?"

 

- Damn, even though I know, I'm asking ......! !!

He admits his defeat to Nea, who asks him in a cat-stroking voice with a huge smirk.

 

"It makes me shudder to think that I'm an idolized version of myself in the city."

 

Rumors between me and my seniors that Calmhelio is still whispering about it.

According to Mr./Ms. Naia, the topic was rekindled by the story of a senior coming to Calmhelio with me.

 

"I don't know, one of my goals is to go find out."

"Damn ......."

"And the brave ones who are trying to hide in the room in silence."

"Ugh!?"

 

The senior, who was about to evacuate to the room without a sound, said an excuse with suspicious behavior.

 

"Wow, I'm a brave man and my face is known, so I don't think I should go out too much, right? That's why it's enough for them to go for a walk......

"Disguise yourself, change your hairstyle, put on a hood, or whatever."

"Wan......"

 

The seniors, who are usually pushy, are weak this time.

Nea shifts her gaze from her senpai, who dropped her shoulders, to Leona Mr./Ms., who is confused.

 

"How's Leona?"

「…… No, let's not do it. If I go, I'll stand out even if I disguise myself, "Huh!?"

 

Leona Mr./Ms.tried to refuse, but Mirfa Mr./Ms. who was next to her poked her side with her finger.

 

"What are you doing, why don't you go without refusing?"

"But I'm ......!!"

"You're going to disguise yourself anyway, so it's okay, right? Earlier, Prince Yancha made me a fool, but I was going to see the city, so it's just right."

"Ugh."

"You've got a lot to lose in serious matters, so it's okay to cheat a little."

 

It's the first time I've seen it.

Leona Mr./Ms., who is always calm and reliable, is a challenge.

 

"I'm glad you're going to accompany me with you."

"Yes, the guards are also with Usato, so it's okay...... I'll ask you, Ferm?"

"If you assimilate, there will be no problem."

 

Can't help it.

I hate it, but I ...... you have to see the city once.

 

"Usato is...... Can you disguise yourself as a normal face?"

"Isn't it funny?"

 

Is that the perception of disguise is different between me and Nea?

I don't think I'm normal now ......?

 

"Just kidding, you'll be fine as long as you're not in uniform."

"Hah, I get it......

 

For some reason, I often wear this uniform in an impressive way.

When I had no choice but to take off my clothes, my senior, who had returned to the room, came back to me with his hair tied behind his back.

If you look at him, he is wearing black-rimmed glasses that he doesn't always wear.

 

"Hey hey Usato-kun, how's it going? I'm wearing Date glasses and a ponytail!"

"Why do you ...... Date glasses?"

"I was expecting this kind of situation...... Haha."

 

I also smile bitterly at my seniors who look away with a very dry smile.

But I'm too embarrassed to put it into words...... It looks good, yes.
