Episode 462.

A short time later, Elisha noticed that Liz was not in the room, and came to the training ground with a change of blood.

Spotting Liz sitting with a blank face, Elisha apologized to me and my seniors over and over again with surprising speed before grabbing her by the neck and walking out of the training grounds.

Claude Mr./Ms. and his granddaughter Lore also arrived.

 

"Don't hold back!!"

"Thank you very much!!"

 

The two of them were supposed to have their daily morning practice, but now the senior is doing a light hand-to-hand with Loa.

Actually, I should be helping, but I'm getting sick and I don't want to worry about my seniors anymore, so I'm quietly sitting on a nearby couch.

 

"Anyway, you Mr./Ms. had a lot of trouble, didn't you?"

"It's mutual."

 

While watching Loa's training with his seniors from a distance, I was making light small talk with Claude Mr./Ms., when he suddenly said something like that.

 

"But I didn't think we were going to fail the operation in that way."

"Considering the nature of the devil, he must have been invincible when it came to winning people's minds, and he thought that if he infused them with sweet things, he would do as he pleased."

 

However, Claude Mr./Ms. continues to speak.

 

"He couldn't stand it because he had only been through that, and to be treated like a pawn and treated like someone who looked down on him hurt his self-esteem a lot."

「…… I see."

 

I realized that my actions were irritating him more than I thought.

He looked down on people to the fullest.

 

"So, you've been setting up the moxibustion firmly, haven't you?"

"yes, that's solid."

 

When I said that with a clenched fist, Claude Mr./Ms. laughed teasingly.

 

"But, well, my granddaughter got to go through something that she rarely gets to do, and she got involved in a lot of commotion, but that's where it was."

"Hahaha, that's strong."

"More than that, you and the brave dog were a good stimulus."

 

Claude Mr./Ms. looks at Loa and Senpai.

At the end of his line of sight, he sees a senior who is boldly attacking with a spear.

 

"What will Claude Mr./Ms. do when he returns to his country?"

"Hmm? Even if I go back, it won't change much. He just keeps taking care of his disciples. …… Ah, but I don't have a long way to go, and I wish I had a successor."

"Please don't say it in a way that is a little difficult to refuse......"

 

You pretend to lament and look here and there.

 

"I'm kidding...... Well, come visit my country next time. Then let me invite you to my dojo as a temporary instructor."

"No, no, what does a lecturer teach?"

"And placate with the flow and become our successor."

How many times do you repeat it?"

 

Claude Mr./Ms. laughs happily again.

I've been holding the pace ever since we first met.

But maybe someday I can visit Claude Mr./Ms.'s dojo.

 

"I'm back, Usato-kun."

"I didn't get hit once......

 

While I was talking to Claude Mr./Ms., my senior and Loa, who had been holding hands, returned.

Loa, who is depressed while coming here, is smiling lightly at her senior.

 

"Compared to the first trial, your movements are no longer disturbed, so you've grown a lot."

"Oh, really......?"

"I'm going to tell you, there's no doubt about it."

"Oh, thank you!"

 

In fact, as my seniors said, I was hiding in the movement...... Or rather, the disorder is gone.

It can be said that it is the result of training in magic rotation, but more than that, it is probably because of Loa's efforts.

 

"Well, it's time to go eat breakfast, how about you Mr./Ms.?"

"Senior, are you okay?"

"Yes, if you don't mind, I'll take you with me."

 

I nodded to my seniors, and I was about to stand up, just like Claude Mr./Ms.——— just as the doors of the training ground opened again, and three familiar women entered.

They are Mr./Ms. Aura, the hero of the kingdom of Flemia, and her two servants.

 

"Huh? It's rare to be this early in the morning."

"Is it for us?"

 

When I was surprised by the arrival of Mr./Ms. and the others, who usually come a little after breakfast, she came to us at a brisk pace.

 

"Inukami Mr./Ms. Usato Mr./Ms.."

"Oh, Aura? What's going on? Such a hurry."

 

She looked up under her breath.

 

"We're going to the Ringle Kingdom soon!!"

「「…… Huh?'"

"And I'm going to live in the Ringle Kingdom!!"

"What?!"

 

Both I and my seniors were surprised by the sudden declaration.

By the way, Claude Mr./Ms., who sits next to him, bursts out laughing, and Loa is warm.

———No, no, what's going on all of a sudden!?

Isn't it very important that Mr./Ms., the hero of the Kingdom of Flemia, moves to the Kingdom of Ringle!?

 

"Hey, wait a minute? What are you going to do about the Kingdom of Fremia?"

"The brave will stop."

"Is it that easy to stop!?"

"It's a title imposed on me, so I'm going to stop!! In the first place, it was too much of a position for a researcher!!"

 

At this point, I've come to think that a country with a hero must have some kind of problem.

So far, the only thing that seems to be a problem is Claude Mr./Ms........

 

"Of course, I won't bother you two ......! In the first place, when I think back, I already felt that I had a lot of limitations, so I was already blown away!!"

"Gee, the limit ......? ...... exactly?"

 

The senior asked, and the two Mr./Ms. Aura and Mr./Ms. attendant behind him looked down together, and a shadow covered their eyes.

Then they began to speak.

 

"...... boss who doesn't understand!!"

"A royal family that only sees profits...... !!"

"Research funds ...... to be reduced!!"

"Another department that is jealous of the hero certification and harasses ......!!"

"My parents' ...... don't understand magic research!!"

 

Complaints come out at a great rate.

Mr./Ms. Aura, dressed in a gloomy atmosphere that gives the illusion that she can see something like a dark and gloomy aura, turns around and clenches her fists.

 

"Ever since I saw Mr./Ms.'s magical skills at this festival, I've been wondering if I can go back to my country. Beings like you are the very problem of a mass of magical innovation...... I wondered if I could forget about it and live happily ever after."

"Huh? Didn't you say you were a problem child ......?"

 

I'm aware of it, but .......

 

"Besides, I have a feeling that I will soon be tied up in a position by the country with a suitable fiancée."

"It's pretty raw......

"Well, if you say you do it or don't do it, you're going to do it."

 

Mr./Ms. nods while rubbing his chin to the senior who pulls the string.

Are you trying to placate yourself with your fiancée...... Eh, I'm scared.

 

"But is it okay? Is the title of Hero something that can be easily quit there?"

"I'm a different researcher than a knight involved in battle, and it's just a recognition of merit, and it's just an emergency recognition by the royal family as a hero, so naturally there are a certain number of people in the country who oppose it."

「…… I see. Even if you are recognized as a hero, does that mean that you are Mr./Ms.?"

"Yes, because it was chosen just before this festival......

 

Does it mean that Mr./Ms. Aura was chosen as a hero just before ...... festival?

If that's the case, wouldn't you feel free to quit at that point?

 

"In the past, we didn't have the option of quitting because of our position within the Kingdom of Fremia, but if we have the option to move to another country, that's a different story."

"So, you mean to move to the Lingle Kingdom?"

 

Mr./Ms. nodded at her senior's words.

 

"We were in a research position because we liked to study magic, and if even our freedom to think is restricted, then there is no reason for us to stick to the Kingdom of Fremia."

"Yes, you're right, we like magic."

"It was a blissful time while I was here."

 

If I were to superimpose Mr./Ms.'s situation on me, I might do the same.

I like to train, but I can't stand being told that I can't do it and being held down, and above all, it's annoying.

 

"As soon as we return to our country, we will step down from the mission of the hero and follow the messenger to the Kingdom of Lingle."

「…… Well, if there's no problem, I'll talk to you, ......."

"No."

 

Mr./Ms. shows her palm to her senior and shakes her head.

 

"I can't bother you that much, so I'll do something about it on my own, so it's okay ......! Luckily, I spent most of my personal life researching, so I have a lot of savings ......!!"

 

Isn't it the same as having three more Wealthy Mr./Ms. in the Lingle Kingdom......?

No, does this mean that ——— can do it more messily ......?

It's like a healing rotating fist that applies elasticity and magic rotation.

You can temporarily transfer the other person's magic power to yourself by applying magic power and use it yourself.

 

「…… Oh, that? What is it? Chills?"

"What, Ah-chan too?"

"I felt it too......

 

Hmm? Mr./Ms. and the others looked around as if they felt a chill.

Well, it's early in the morning, so it's usually chilly.

 

「…… So, that's all I wanted to tell you, so we'll excuse you."

"Oh, yes."

 

Mr./Ms. leaves the place with a clear face that has already been blown away.

I looked at my seniors with a feeling of regret that I had accumulated so much stress.

 

"I'll tell you Welsey for ......."

"That's the way it should be......

 

It seems that Mr./Ms. will find a place to live on her own, but if she wants to help Welsey Mr./Ms. in the Lingle Kingdom, it would be better for me and my seniors to talk to her.

 

●

 

After eating breakfast with Claude Mr./Ms. and the Rivals, I went back to the dormitory with my seniors.

Nea, Ferm, and Rune had already gotten up and finished breakfast in their rooms, and they had to give a little bit of a quip about being at the training ground in the morning.

Then, after Rune went to tell Shea that I had woken up, Mr./Ms. Naia came to visit my room after hearing the news that I had woken up.

 

"It's the first time we've seen each other like this, Ferm. Regards."

"Yo, thank you."

 

Ferm has been assimilating with me all the time except in this room, so this is the first time I've met Naia Mr./Ms..

There's no reason to hide it anymore, so I'm introducing myself like this now, but of course Mr./Ms. Naia seems confused.

 

「…… I didn't notice it at all. I knew I was hiding something...... I never thought that one person would go unnoticed ......."

"I've been assimilating with this guy for a long time, so it's no wonder you don't notice it."

 

Liz noticed it, though.

Well, in her case, it was probably because she had a special sense of smell.

While thinking about this, Nea, who had been silently watching the exchange between Mr./Ms. and Ferm, opened her mouth.

 

"So, Naia, you didn't just come here to check on us, did you?"

"Yes, the first requirement...... This is a rough plan for your return to Japan."

 

The Hero Festival was canceled due to this commotion.

Even though the damage was minimal, there was definitely damage and injuries.

 

"If we leave the city now, it will be rather confusing, so we will ask you to stay in Kamgerio for a little longer."

"Oh, I know that...... A lot of people have seen us heroes scrambling to solve problems. Usato-kun has healed all the injured people."

 

I don't regret it because it's the duty of a healing wizard to heal injured people.

I told the patient, "When I saw it up close, it was different from the novel!!" When he said something like that, it was more damaging than Envar's taunts, though.

 

"And the sky was blowing up, too."

"Exploding."

"There was a lot of rumor going around in the castle, wasn't it......?"

 

Naturally, he was also seen exploding Rune's magic and blowing up the sky, so I'm afraid of how distorted and how much the rumors around that will spread.

It seems that it is about to be called a super creature that cannot be described as a monster ...... this world.

 

"So you won't be able to return home until the city is a little more settled."

"What exactly?"

"Probably, but it may be in three to five days."

 

As expected, a week or two weeks is a long time, but I don't think it's a problem at all.

My seniors seem to have the same impression, and they nod their heads without any particular objection.

Mr./Ms. Naia was relieved by our reaction, but she still looked up without letting her guard down.

 

"And the second one...... It's about Sia Garmio."

"Is it her......?"

"Did you hear anything from her after that?"

 

Now that Envar's problem is cleared up, the only thing left is Shea.

If you move without thinking about the situation, you just need to catch Shea immediately...... But without her this time, Mr./Ms. Lanzas couldn't have saved her.

Above all, Shea and her subordinates, Mr./Ms., protected the people from the damage of the storm, so they couldn't break their promise.

 

"Usato-kun woke up, so her companion, who had been with us earlier, went to tell her about it, and now I'm waiting for a response."

"Is that so...... If so, after that."

"I'm just going to go to the village where Sia Ghamio was home and talk to her directly."

 

At the words of the senior, Mr./Ms. Naia looks worried.

To be honest, I understand that it makes you anxious.

There's no guarantee she'll tell the truth.

 

「…… Naia was doing some research on Shea, wasn't she?"

"Yes, it's only fragmentary, but thanks to that, I was able to figure out the village that would have been her home."

 

It's not wrong because Shea came to stop it.

What I don't understand is that Shea herself has a stance that she doesn't mind as long as she can come back home.

 

"Indeed, before you were about to head to the Demon Lord's territory to fight the Demon King, heavy rain fell on Kamgherio, causing the ground to loosen and cause a landslide.

"Then you don't lie about what Shea told me...... That's what it is."

"That's going to happen."

 

It's sketchy, but it's timelined, so it's not funny.

It's not funny...... Well let's see.

 

"Was there no body of Mr./Ms. Hisago there?"

"No, in the first place, if the body of the former hero is found, the whole country will be in an uproar, and your father will also go on a rampage."

 

Or so it seems.

Rather, if Mr./Ms.'s body is found, there is no way that Falga-sama will not know.

 

"But other than that, ——— reports."

"I'm back!!"

 

As if to interrupt Mr./Ms.'s voice, a cheerful voice suddenly sounds.

When I looked at the owner of the voice, I saw Rune, a lion cub engulfed in blue-black flames, by the window.

 

"Eh, engulfed in flames...... Cat?"

 

Mr./Ms. Naia is also surprised by Rune's use of magic.

 

"Rune, are you back yet?"

"Oh! I've been talking to Shea a while ago! After this, we can talk in that village!!"

 

After this, ?

I think it's early, but I was stunned, so I had to wait a long time.

I don't have a problem here, but I have to let Mr./Ms. and the others know about this first.
