"Rain, I got a reply from the girls of the Ringle Kingdom, and they are going to see you as soon as possible."

 

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I was a little confused by Mr. Lanzas, who happily said so.

I was amazed that the other side had accepted the story so casually, and that Mr. Lanzas, who was always pale in the morning, woke up more energetic than usual.

 

"Strengthen the system, if not possible, at least ...... clue."

 

If he can heal Lanzas's body even a little, he will be more positive.

That's why I'm that person from the Ringle Kingdom...... You have to teach Mr./Ms. Usato's healing magic.

 

"Usato, Ken......"

 

Rumors about him have spread well in the kingdom of Milva, as well as those of the hero.

The healing wizard of Ringle will blind you with healing magic.

Carry a bear on your back and run around the city.

He punches you while casting healing spells.

In one battle, he fought against all the commanders of the Demon King's army.

He beat the Demon King to death.

——— I don't know which of them are true, but if there are so many unbelievable rumors, it will be believable.

 

「…… It's here, isn't it?"

 

A training ground connected to a designated dormitory.

Arrive at the place created in the room and take a light, deep breath.

 

"Hmm? Is there anyone else?"

 

Through the gaps in the large double doors, you can see someone in the training ground.

When I looked closely, I saw Mr./Ms. Usato, who I was teaching healing magic today, and Claude, a hero from another country, facing each other with a spear.

 

"What's that...... Game? That one who is a healing wizard?"

 

Healing wizards fighting?

Sure, there were rumors like that, but the other party was Claude.

A master who carries the name of the brave for a long time. How could someone I know ......?

However, my thoughts disappear somewhere in the next moment.

 

"Huh!?"

 

The moment Claude took the stance of thrusting out his spear, the sound of cutting three winds echoed at the same time as Mr./Ms.'s upper body blurred.

The moment he realized that it was the sound of Claude throwing his spear three times, the Mr./Ms. Usato approached Claude Mr./Ms. with the sound of a bursting step, ———and after exchanging some more fights and defenses, they distanced themselves from each other again.

 

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

 

At least the healing wizard I know...... No, it wasn't human movement.

Claude understands the position of a hero.

But who is he?

He's supposed to be a healing wizard, so why is he able to move like that?

 

"Don't show me useless magic!"

"Ah, healing magic...... Healing magic, isn't ......?"

"Even if you don't rely on healing magic, if you have healing magic, it's fine."

 

The memory of before he was picked up by Lanzas flashes through his mind.

Shaking my head as if to shake off the unpleasant memories, I reluctantly opened the door and stepped inside.

Mr./Ms. seems to notice me right away and waves at me while carrying an owl on my shoulder.

 

"This way-"

"Ha, yes!"

 

He beckons me and runs up to him.

I was a little worried because he was very energetic earlier, but now he seems to be kind.

 

"Oh, well, thank you for your time today!!"

"Yes, thank you."

 

I feel relieved when he smiles softly.

Plus, this is the first time I've met a healing wizard like me, so I feel a sense of kinship with him.

 

"Once again, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Ken Usato. I belong to an organization called the Rescue Team, and now I have the title of Deputy Leader. He's a little different from an ordinary healing wizard, but you can trust him when it comes to technology."

"What's the point?"

「!!??」

 

Hehe!?he

The monster, who I thought was an ordinary black owl familiar, suddenly spoke human language, and I was surprised that I couldn't make a sound.

The owl giggled at me and moved away from Mr./Ms.'s shoulder and turned into a human figure with a flash of light.

 

"I'm Nea, and I'm a vampire who is Usato's familiar."

"Kyu, vampire !?."

"You don't have to worry about him, he's not harmful to people, he's my friend."

 

Wait, all at once, the perception of the healing wizard in front of you seems to be strange.

Even as a child, I understand the abnormality of demons using human language.

 

"Is it okay to call me Rain?"

"Ha, yes! It's okay to call it out!!"

"Thank you...... Okay."

 

Mr./Ms. Usato snapped his hands and bent his knees and lowered his hips to make eye contact with me.

Looking at his eyes, which changed from a gentle expression to a serious one, I felt as if I was being seen through my inner thoughts.

 

"First of all, let me ask you what you want to learn from me."

"What do you want to learn?"

"I'm supposed to teach you how to use healing magic and magic, but Rain...... I want to hear what you want from me first."

「…… Oh, I'm ......."

 

Master Lanzas said he didn't need to learn healing magic for himself, but I didn't mean to.

Even if it means breaking Lanzas's orders, I want him to live for a long time.

Make eye contact with Mr./Ms. Usato and firmly put your intentions into words.

 

"I want to learn how to strengthen the lineage ......!!"

「……」

"I know I'm inexperienced, and I know it's incredibly difficult and dangerous to strengthen the system. But I still want to help Lanzas...... Huh?"

「…… That's all I need to hear."

 

A hand is held out in front of me who has said his true feelings without a price.

 

"It's hard to master system enhancement, you have to have precise magic manipulation and a sense of it. And, most importantly...... The wielder himself must have a clear idea of who he is supposed to heal."

"Still, I'll do it, no matter how hard or dangerous it is."

 

Hold the proffered hand.

He squeezes back into a hard, large palm and makes eye contact with me.

 

"Let me tell you at the outset, I don't have much time to coach you."

「…… Yes. I know. At worst, if you can tell me how to ———."

"It's going to be a little bit of a stretch."

"What, well, ...... impossible?"

 

...... to force them to do it with healing magic training?

Without answering my question, Mr./Ms. Usato smiled.

It was the same friendly smile as before, but I felt something faintly cold.

 

"So I'm going to start training right away."

"Well, listen to me--"

 

In an instant, warm magic flows through my whole body through my clenched hands.

Healing magic——— which is stronger and warmer than mine, circulates from the hands to the arms, through the heart, and throughout the body, further accelerating.

Unintentional magic spinning, even faster and smoother than what I'm doing———

 

「～～～!!!?」

 

You will be attacked by the sensation of being stirred inside your body!

What you feel is not pain, but a ...... that is constantly attacked by a refreshing sensation and is tormented by the sensation of being healed by the vibration of healing magic from above!

It's hard to know what you want to say, but the feeling of numbness in your legs while sitting in a chair is the same as the feeling of attacking your whole body!

 

"What, Nana is this!?"

"I've accelerated your magic by interfering with my magic, it's a little forced, but once you get used to this, you should be able to improve your magic manipulation skills."

 

I don't understand what you're saying!

What is this person who is interfering with my magic power?

As I shake my body, Mr./Ms., the familiar familiar who was watching beside me, looks at me with eyes like "Acha", but I am far from it.

Well, I can't sit properly!

Even if I try to shake off the arm that shook my hand, it is hardened with a ridiculous grip strength and I can't shake it off!

 

"Hey, Usato, how long are you going to do this?"

"I think it's about an hour."

 

It's a good hour!

This!? This state!?

 

"It's just as disgusting as normal training."

"You're going to do it later, right?"

"What?"

 

A magical power that accelerates and runs around the whole body.

I writhed in agony at the incomprehensibility, but Mr./Ms. Usato stubbornly ——— no, he didn't let go of my hand as if he wouldn't let me escape.

 

●

 

「…… Did I go a little too far......?"

"No matter how you look at it, it's not a little, is it...... this?"

"——— 、———."

 

Yo, I'm finally free.

But towards the end, the discomfort in my whole body disappeared, and I could see that I was getting used to the speed of the magic turn.

But even though I'm not moving, I'm sweating all over my body.

 

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Heh, I'm fine, I'm tired, but I feel like the magic is light......"

 

I'm aware that it's getting easier to turn the magic power into a circle.

If you just do it normally, you will definitely not be able to do it so well in about an hour.

 

"Forced adaptation to the use of magic on others, well, I did it in a different direction...... Usato, while you're here, send a text to Welsey."

"Well, that's right."

 

Placing her hand on her forehead, Mr./Ms. Usato Mr./Ms. who is turning back into an owl before she knows it.

 

「…… Now, it's time to practice strengthening the system."

"What!? But I ...... that strengthening the system is dangerous."

 

It should be dangerous to activate it.

In order to increase the concentration of magic power, continuing to pour magic power into it is the way to strengthen the system.

However, if it fails, the magic power that has nowhere to go will burst——— and the body of the practitioner will be greatly damaged.

 

"I told you, didn't I? It's a little too much. Don't worry, I'm with you, so you won't be hurt."

「…… Yes."

"Now, hold my hand again."

「…… Huh?"

「…… Don't worry, it's a different training this time, okay?"

 

Remembering the hour of hell earlier, I pulled back the hand that was about to be stretched.

But I wondered what I was going to do this time, so I held his hand.

 

"Cure diagnosis...... Then I'm going to explain how to strengthen the system now."

 

According to Mr./Ms. Usato, the system enhancement mechanism is to keep the magic power at a certain size and then pour more magic into it to increase its concentration.

I thought it would be easy if I just listened, but if I failed as a result, the magic power with increased concentration would attack the user himself, and in some cases, he would be seriously injured.

 

"Maybe I'm not going to be a role model, but I'm going to show you how to strengthen my lineage."

 

The opposite hand holding the hand is lit with the green magic of healing.

It gradually darkens in color and changes to a deep green.

 

"It's amazing......

 

It's the second time I've seen it up close.

When I saw it once, Mr./Ms. activated the system enhancement in an instant, but now that I can slowly show him the process in front of me, I can understand how amazing he is.

 

"Okay, let's do it."

"...... if the magic is about to explode."

"I'm here, it's okay, trust me."

 

…… Nodding at Mr./Ms.'s words, she puts her magic in the hand opposite to the one holding his hand.

Then, as described, he keeps the form of magic constant and forcibly infuses magic power.

 

"Whew!!"

 

This is impossible......!!

Try it and find out. It's like pouring more water into a container that has already been filled with water.

Was this person doing this without doing such a thing?

 

"Usato, Mr./Ms.!!"

"Pour in the magic power without any gaps, concentrate on it."

 

No, no......!! Burst!!

I can't suppress the magic power I put into it, and it swells.

 

"———."

 

The moment I closed my eyes to endure the pain, Mr./Ms. Usato's magic poured out of my clenched hand——— the magic power burst, and something like warm droplets of water flew onto my cheeks.

I almost cry when I realize it's blood, but my hand doesn'...... hurt. That?

 

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

 

When I opened my eyes and looked at my hand, there was no wound on my hand.

But instead, Mr./Ms.'s hand and another hand were covered in blood.

There are cuts on the palms, fingers, and backs of the hands, from which the healing magic overflows like smoke.

 

「…… Huh?"

"I'll take over the failure to strengthen the system."

 

For a moment, I didn't understand what was being said.

But when I thought about my intact hand, Usato's Mr./Ms. hand, and the healing magic that ran through my body at the moment of its explosion, I understood that Mr./Ms. Usato had taken my failure to strengthen my lineage instead.

 

"I don't know if this will happen if I transfer the other lineage enhancements to ......."

"What's that...... But there's blood ......!!"

"It's okay, I'll heal it soon."

 

The wound healed in an instant, not in the blink of an eye.

But he must have felt the pain.

Why would you go to such lengths for me when you are so scarred?

 

"I'm sorry."

「…… Huh?"

 

Mr./Ms. Usato bowed his head to me who was upset.

Why are you apologizing?

In fact, I should have apologized for hurting him.

 

"I should have said it first, but I kept silent because I thought it would make me hesitate."

"Oh, please hold your head up!!"

 

I would have hesitated, for sure.

In fact, it is even possible that he did not understand the meaning even if he was told that he would take over the role.

That's how strange the techniques Mr./Ms. Usat used in this series of training.

 

"Um, just wipe the blood off for now."

"Oh, yes."

"Ah, what are you doing?!"

 

When Mr./Ms. tries to wipe her blood-soaked hands with a hand towel, Mr./Ms. the owl changes into the form of a black cat with light again and begins to lick Mr./Ms.'s hand dripping with blood.

 

"Hey, I'm talking about something important right now, so stop it, you're mean."

"It doesn't make sense to tell vampires to stop drinking blood."

「…… Huh. Is it better to be in the form of a cat? I get it."

 

He put the black cat on his shoulder and held out his hand, making eye contact with me as if nothing had happened.

 

"You always have to be prepared for this to happen when you practice lineage strengthening, I'm a healing wizard and I was able to train because I could endure the pain, but I can't force you to do it."

"That's why you're ...... to take my place."

 

It teaches you how to strengthen your system.

That's enough, but this person is trying to help me even though I'm seriously injured.

Why would you do so much to me, who I only met yesterday?

At least not because he's a healing wizard.

 

"I know Mr./Ms.'s body very well."

"Huh?"

 

Perhaps sensing my doubts, Mr./Ms. Usato mentioned Lanzas-sama.

 

"His body is battered from the inside out by the immense amount of magic, and even healing magic is only a stopgap, and maybe...... The reason I tried to get you to teach me healing magic wasn't for his own good."

「…… Yes. Master Lanzas told me to take the teaching of healing magic for me, not for myself. He said it was because he wasn't long...... I want to be able to live after I......m gone."

「…… After all, I don't know."

 

Mr./Ms. must have sensed it.

He looked a little troubled by my tears, and put his hand on my shoulder.

 

"After this festival is over, I may be able to introduce someone who can manage Mr./Ms.'s body."

"Is there such a person!?"

"I can't name them here, but I know a couple of them, but I can't do it on my own. You have to get permission. Still, it's worth a try."

 

I don't know how much to believe.

But I want to believe that this person will do this for me, whom I just met yesterday.

 

"But you can't just teach him how, Rain, you teach Mr./Ms. Lanzas hope to live."

"Me?"

"Oh, you're the closest to Mr./Ms.."

「……! I'll do it!"

 

Lanzas no longer has the desire to live in the future.

I'm sure that even if Mr./Ms. and I say that there is a way to save them, they won't shake their heads.

It may be cured.

In the past, he has been told this over and over again, and his hopes have been shattered, and he has become exhausted, so now I have to teach him hope.

 

"That's what you're going to use me for, and you can tell the people above you in your country."

"No, that...... I'm glad to hear from you, but I don't think I can understand your technology."

「……」

"Of course, the wizards of the country who are shown the real thing are scratching their heads every day. If you can understand it just by reporting, you won't have a hard time."

 

Even I, who actually received the technique, don't understand it, so I don't think the people in the kingdom who just heard the report can even understand it.

In the first place, it is absolutely impossible to analyze this person's technique with only the information on the top of healing magic and magic rotation.

 

"Anyway, don't be afraid of failure this time. You don't have to worry about it, you just have to give Nea blood later anyway, and it saves you a lot of trouble."

"Eh, this is a separate belly, so I'll get it normally later, okay?"

「…… Huh. …… Okay, let's continue."

 

Sighing at the sound of Nea Mr./Ms.Mr./Ms. voice, Usato holds out his hand to me.

When I saw his hand, he said something that sounded like a question.

 

"Can you do it? Rain"

"I can do it."

"That's a good answer."

 

Squeeze his hand back.

I want to help Lanzas.

I'm here with that in mind, but I've decided that I need to do one more thing.

Above all, I have to live up to this person's trust.
