The main meeting this time will definitely be the heroes of the Lingle Kingdom and their attendants.
The runner-up is the hero of Mialak with the spear of the divine dragon Falga.
A talented person who was invited from another world by an external tool called the Hero Summoning Ceremony, and a human who was involved.
Their presence was very interesting to me as well.
"There were a lot of things, and this meeting was a place."
An inn prepared for us as guests from the Kingdom of Nesha.
After the tedious event of meeting the heroes every time, my students sat on the sofa as if they were exhausted.
"Haha, I've never been in a place like that, so I was nervous."
"Good job, Elisha, it must have been hard."
"It was hard, but I wasn't as scared of the heroes as I thought I would be...... In fact, the hardest part was ......."
"Hmm?"
Elisha looks at his sister, Liz, who is as weak as liquid on the couch.
Liz is basically a person who is not tied to anything. That's what makes her who she is, but it's hard for Elisha and me.
"Also, that person from the Garga Kingdom was a little scared."
Is it a reval...... He's just dashing, he's not particularly threatening.
In fact, the girlfriend I was biting was Aura, who was doing more interesting research.
"Have you ever thought of other heroes?"
"Others...... I don't know Lanzas' Mr./Ms. of the Kingdom of Milva because I haven't spoken to him...... I have the impression that Mr./Ms. Aura of the Kingdom of Flemia is a poor person...... I thought Claude Mr./Ms. of the Calf Kingdom was a shrewd person."
"yes, yes, I'm watching it a lot. Claude...... He is a veteran warrior who has been in that position as a hero for a long time. When he was young, he was called a "brave" hero because of his fierce spear wielding, and in his old age, with his experience and skill, he was called a "non-relenting" heroveteranSieveThat's it."
I'm familiar with him.
Maybe they don't like me.
"Leona of Mearlac was a very rational and cool person when I actually talked to her Mr./Ms.
"She's a powerful person who fought against the Demon Lord's army with the heroes Inukami and Kazuki as the heroes of Miarak."
"Oh my God, I felt like a hero when I was talking!!"
You're not wrong.
Apart from the heroes who were invited from other worlds, she is the one who has made many martial honors as a hero.
The battle with the dragon man who put Miarak in danger.
Participated in the Demon King's army's third invasion of the Ringle Kingdom.
One of the key players who infiltrated the Demon Lord's territory with a small number of elite people and led the battle against the Demon Tribe to an end.
When I actually came into contact with her, she was visibly powerful, and above all, she was humble, which exactly matched the image of a hero that Elisha had imagined.
"Lastly, Inukami Mr./Ms. of the Ringle Kingdom, but ......."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
「…… I didn't really understand because I was intimidating with my sister......
"Well, yes, I can't help it with her."
She's the same as Liz, and she moves at a unique pace.
He often moves too freely and swings around, so he is the type of person who struggles with those around him.
However, from my point of view, Inukami Suzune is a ridiculous person.
"Brave Inukami, she's more than a rumor."
"Hmm."
"Liz, I know you're hostile, but honestly, you're not smart."
I've had my fair share of it, but when I see her such a recognizable genius, I don't even deserve to be compared.
"Her free demeanor is conspicuous, but she sees the essence of things very well, ——— she is aware of you. She's "
「…… Why, ......?"
"I don't think you noticed much more than that, Liz...... Well, I'm sure you're wondering, but you haven't noticed it either."
Perhaps she made some hypotheses and drew conclusions from our little conversation, the atmosphere.
"It's really terrifying."
"Master-servant? Is it Mr./Ms. Usato?"
Elisha looks surprised.
Well, when I was talking to him, I tried to keep myself as relaxed as possible, but inside it was ridiculous.
"Honestly, it sent chills down my spine."
"Teacher?"
"What, that teacher who understands people's feelings and incites them without blood and tears......?"
"Is this the mouth that says bad things? Stupid disciple."
"I'm glad ......."
He pinches Liz's cheek as she says something cheeky, then sighs and leans her back deep on the couch.
"I touched his body after he ——— greeted Usato, but I was so thoughtless, and I regret it."
"What did you do?"
"I was glared at, by someone who wasn't him."
I didn't intend to do anything in particular.
If I had to say it, I just wanted to touch the body of the best warrior created by Rose——— the leader of the rescue team, and see how dense his muscles were.
However, his curious gaze and actions were not good.
The moment I touched his shoulder, I saw ——— red eyes staring at me from the shadows peeking out from Usato's neck as if intimidating.
Blood-red eyes.
His eyes, floating in the darkness flickering like shadows and creatures, continued to glare at me as if admonishing me.
"The healing wizard Usato is using vampires as his demons, hehehe, I'm aware that I've been alive for a long time, but I'm not as formless as a monster than me."
Moreover, his familiars are not just vampires, but a hybrid of necromancers.
It's literally too different from a human being who only lives for a long time.
"Eh, but in this book it says that Mr./Ms.'s familiar is a black eagle."
In response to my muttering, Elisha pulls a book out of his bag.
I sigh for the first time when I look at the novel I ordered from afar to gather information about the heroes of the Lingle Kingdom.
"Elisha, I told you before, didn't I? It's an entertaining book made by twisting the facts."
"Well, it was a completely different face, and I was scared at first......
"Rather, we should consider rumors that are thought to be lies to be facts, okay? Rumors are often exaggerated, but vice versa -- facts so outlandish that they don't even seem true."
At least if you meet him today, you will know that he is not the chivalrous prince that is ridiculed in books.
It wasn't talent that was there, it was a human being who had reached superhuman status after extraordinary effort and a lot of hard work.
…… It's human, right? …… Well, yes, if I had to classify it, it would be humans. Probably.
"And yes, the Rival of the Garga Kingdom just got involved with him, and in a fit of rage he fell backwards without warning, didn't he?"
"I was trying to use magic, but Usato stopped me."
"Oh, really!?"
Of course, Liz, who has a good nose, is aware.
Then I'll explain it to a surprised Elisha.
"He definitely tried to attack Usato with his magic, he lacked composure, and above all, he was usually domineering. There wasn't much hesitation."
"But how did you stop it? From my point of view, Mr./Ms. Usato only looked like he was grabbing his wrist......"
"Well, I don't know."
The magic he possesses is healing magic.
Healing magic that transforms magic into healing and life force.
With a spell that was almost indestructive, he forcibly stopped the very appearance of his magic.
"From the outside, it may seem that the hero of the Garga Kingdom just fell on his own, but there was certainly a battle between him and me that was beyond our perception——— or in this case, it could be said to be a one-sided attack from Usato."
It's terrifying.
At the very least, he has the ability to nullify magic that can be activated at the touch of a touch.
Moreover, even from my point of view, I can't even understand how they are doing.
"How's Liz?" Did you feel anything with your senses?"
"For a moment, I felt that Usato's magic had been transferred to the other party."
"With healing magic? Hahaha, it's a lie, it doesn't make any sense at all. Aha."
Could it be one of the many techniques he would have invented through his magic?
I envy the magic researchers of the Ringle Kingdom.
It must be a hellish heaven to witness a magical innovation of decades, or even a hundred years, in a short period of time.
●
Mr./Ms. Usato, a healing wizard in the Kingdom of Ringle.
Following his words, I left the meeting venue and returned to my room at the inn first.
Meanwhile, Lanzas-sama was confused by the condition of his body, which had been healed by Mr./Ms.'s healing magic.
"Lanzas, your body is ......."
"yes, it's okay, I'm fine. Thank you very much."
A chair with a backrest provided in the inn.
I asked him as he sat there supportively, and Lanzas replied with his usual soft smile.
"A healing wizard from the Ringle Kingdom, I've heard rumors about it, but it's more than that. I never thought it would heal my body so ......."
「……」
"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry! I'm not blaming you!!"
Master Lanzas panicked at me for showing my inner thoughts, but it's true that my healing magic is immature.
Unlike Mr./Ms. Usato, he can't use advanced techniques to strengthen his lineage, and his healing magic isn't as sophisticated as his.
"Rain, you're always there for me."
"But it's true that I'm an inexperienced healing wizard."
"He used a lineage enhancement that even the most seasoned wizards find difficult to master. It's outrageous that he's learning at such a young age."
Lineage, strengthening.
Certainly, at that moment, I realized that Mr./Ms.'s magic power contained tremendous power.
Improve the quality of magic itself, not the amount of magic power.
I ...... that it's a technology that can't be done half-heartedly.
"But I'm glad I got to see him."
Lanzas says as if to spit it out.
"Yes, that's right, if Mr./Ms. Usato strengthens his lineage, Lanzas-sama won't suffer from physical condition here."
"No, you don't care about me."
「…… You don't care, do you?"
I tilt my head and place the hand of Mr. Lanzas, who smiles fleetingly.
"You've finally found someone who can teach you proper magic, and that's the best thing about coming to this country."
"Yes, we will try to bring the technology back to our home country as much as possible."
Originally, he had been ordered by the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Milva to find out information about heroes from other countries and the technology of the healing wizard Usato, who is currently in the midst of a hot topic.
However, at my words, Mr. Lanzas changed his smile from a smile to a puzzled expression.
Did I say something that would ruin my mood?
"Rain, for such a kingdom...... No, you don't need to learn healing magic for me."
"What......?"
Lanzas's words stunned him.
He opened his mouth as he gazed into the distance at the night view of Calmherio, illuminated by the light outside the window.
"Didn't you say that when you were talking to Inukami-sama and Usato? The silly speculation and politics above...... I wanted to put it in an environment where you could learn what you were capable of, regardless of my body."
"So, but...... His Majesty ......"
"You don't have to worry about those who are afraid of me."
The king of the kingdom of Milva is afraid of Lanzas.
He fears Lanzas, who single-handedly pushed back a great storm that ravages the sea and destroys buildings, as a human-sized disaster, and wears a collar with the title of hero.
But even so, if the backing of the Milva Kingdom is gone, Lanzas-sama will ...... Tsu.
"From experience, I have an eye for people, and both Usato and his lord Inukami-sama are kind-hearted people worthy of the name of hero. So I can trust you."
"I'm going to leave it to you......!!"
"Either way, I won't live long, but you have a future. That's why I ——— to live in a place other than the kingdom of Milva, which doesn't understand healing magic."
"I want Lanzas to be alive!" Don't say that!!"
「———」
I don't have parents.
For as long as I can remember, I have been entrusted to an institution and have lived without opening my heart to anyone.
So, for me, who has lived like a doll every day without hope, Lanzas, who gave me a reason to live, is a benefactor.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about your feelings. But still...... Layne, I want you to have the happiness you deserve."
"I'm happy to be able to help you right now."
In that country, the kingdom of Milva, the only person who can forgive his heart is Lanzas.
The people around him treat Lanzas like a hero on the outside, but despise and curse him as a monster behind the scenes.
I don't mind being called a useless healing wizard.
But Lanzas...... - I can't stand being told what he likes because he overworks his body, which is always tormented by pain.
"You must have been tired today, I usually suffer in the middle of the night, but now I think I can sleep properly thanks to his healing magic. So don't worry about me and rest today."
「…… Oh, yes."
"Also, I'll send a messenger to Usato."
After bowing deeply, he turned his back on Master Lanzas and entered the room where he was assigned.
Of course, I wasn't convinced.
I can't be convinced.
There is no way I could have abandoned Lanzas as I was told.
I was striving as a healing wizard because I wanted to heal the pain of his parent, who was like a parent to me.
"I'll do my best."
If the magic continues to erode his body, he will not be able to live for a very long time.
However, if you can learn the green glow that Mr./Ms. showed -- lineage enhancement -- you may be able to extend Lanzas-sama's life.
He can be trusted.
It's not because they're the same healing wizards.
His eyes had a certain warmth and strength of will that was different from those of the people of the Milva Kingdom.
