A lot of things happened in the demon realm.

Encounter with Rune, half demon and half elf.

A labyrinth hidden in decaying ruins.

Fighting with Mr./Ms. Owl.

Fight against the demon Kayla.

Then, he encounters Shea, who is possessed by a mysterious being.

Judging by the results, it would be a disastrous achievement.

Although he had accomplished the purpose of the table, he was unable to secure the power of the Demon King due to the loss of the gauntlet, and he was unable to help Xia.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel frustrated, but first I have to do my part.

Return to the Demon Lord's Realm and report on the results of your exploration of the Demon Realm.

In order to do so, we must first pass through this forest safely.

 

Naturally, on the way back to the Demon Lord's Territory, they were attacked by demons.

There are a wide variety of monsters, including large monsters that have not yet been confirmed, and every time you are attacked, you will see more and more new monsters.

And this time———、

 

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Is it a humanoid wolf?"

"Werewolves! Mr./Ms. Usato!!"

 

He nods at Keira's voice.

Werewolf...... Although it is humanoid, it is a monster that has only the intelligence to use simple tools, and has the nastiness to attack in groups.

Now they are under attack by a pack of werewolves

 

"There are so many of them! Defend and repel non-combatants!!"

"Huh."

 

Give instructions and start the battle.

While making sure that his subordinates are protecting Mr./Ms. and Amako, he faces the five werewolves approaching in front of him.

 

"Wolf-man, this is the first time I've encountered one."

"Uluru ......! Gaa!!"

 

A werewolf swings a club and approaches.

It is an intelligent monster that uses weapons, but its attacks are all about power.

You can deal with ...... as much as you want!

 

"Whew."

 

He lowered his right arm, which he was about to receive.

There are no more gauntlets.

He wears his arms with elastic magic and parries the club that is swung down.

 

"Hmmm."

 

With a feeling of being bored, he swept the attack and instantly moved the magic power to his right leg with a magic spinning, and hit a roundhouse kick with momentum.

His foot sank into the monster's side——— and his body was blown away by the elasticity.

 

"Gaaa

"Huh!? Wow!!"

 

What's next?

Seeing their friends blown away, two of them attack.

He parries with the same elasticity as before, and at the same time hits him with a blow to the jaw and knocks him unconscious. ——— immediately after that, he attaches his magic power to the one that stunned him, and hits the one that is about to attack.

 

"Gaa!? Gee!?"

 

The werewolf realizes that the body of his companion who was hit will not leave him, and he struggles while falling to the ground.

 

"You can't move, can you?"

 

A magic bullet with restraint spells and elasticity adjusted.

The combination of these two is glued together to seal the movement.

 

"It's not bad for usability."

 

Incapacitation without wasting force.

Including this, it seems that it can be applied in any number of ways by using it in combination with magic spinning.

 

"Eh, Usato, what is the magic power on ...... arm?"

"It's a healing coating."

"That's ......."

 

I can't hear anything......!!

Avoiding the attack of the werewolf that pounced on him from behind while passing Nair's muttering, he turned around and tapped his forehead with his palm.

 

"Healing Eye Crushing"

"Kyau!?"

 

The magical power away from the arm sticks to the monster's face with viscosity, depriving it of vision.

Naturally, the confused monster tries to push me away by waving my arms widely, but I calmly grab its thick paws and throw it away.

The monster flew in the air in an arc and crashed into the tree from its back——— clinging to the thick trunk.

 

"Gah, woo!? Ahh

 

The monster clinging to the tree from its back is flapping its limbs in a panic.

 

"I've been doing it before, but what did I do?

"I put a spell on my back before I threw it, the one that gave me the spell of your restraint."

 

Well, he only used the spell of restraint to immobilize the monster and the magic and immobilize the tree.

It's not that difficult.

 

"A combination of restraint spells and healing coatings...... If I had to name it, it would be the Healing Adsorption Fist."

"Hah, you're doing another weird trick ......."

 

If you restrain your body normally, you can break it with a half-hearted restraint spell, but if you stick your body to a place you can't reach, such as a wall or the ground, or if you stick your body to each other like before, you can restrain them more easily than stunning.

 

"This way, you don't have to hit them unnecessarily."

「…… It's pretty useful when you think about it."

 

Over time, the magic power disappears, so it can be said that safety is also considered.

 

"It's a healing coating, and it seems to be more applicable than I thought."

"Um, can you please call me the name of that technique? It's going to make me crazy......

 

It seems to be a terrible thing to say.

Where is my head going to go ......?

 

"Keira, what is magic...... It's an applied ability."

"It's a great way to learn!"

"Why don't you tell Keira weird things! What would I do if I were like you?!"

 

Please stop saying it's a disgrace to be like me.

Little by little, we are able to use technology to cover the hole created by the loss of the gauntlet...... I feel like.

However, the mere fact that we were able to defend ourselves did not make up for the strong defense of the gauntlet.

Don't be satisfied with healing coatings, but refine your skills.

 

●

 

Fighting off the demons, he proceeds through the forest, and finally overcomes the towering cliff by flying in the air with Kira's cloak, and continues through the forest until he finally arrives at the Demon Lord's Domain.

It would be about two weeks, including the return time.

I don't know if it took a lot of time or if it was a short time for exploration, but I think it was quite dense.

 

"Okay, Usato-kun, run with me on your back."

"It's a huge difference in reaction compared to the first time......

 

Mr./Ms., who had finished her role of grasping the terrain and creating maps by entering the Demon Lord's territory, said so.

On the way back, I thought about refusing because I was going to go in a hurry rather than going, but when I thought about it, I made Hannah Mr./Ms. quite uncomfortable, so I quietly walked with her on my back.

 

"Then I'll ride too."

"Then can I ......?!"

 

What surprised me here was that both Amako and Kira said they wanted to ride.

Maybe I'm mistaken for a horse-drawn carriage or something......

No...... Well, it doesn't matter at all, does it?

Even if the number of people carrying it increases, it will only weigh less than Bulllin.

 

"You're going to be on your back."

"It's okay because it was like this in the ruins."

"It's an honest question, but what were you doing in the ruins?"

 

While exchanging such an exchange with Koga, he transforms his cloak and makes three seats on his back.

Amako, Mr./Ms., and Keira sat there in that order, and then started walking home.

 

"Keira-chan"

"Yes? What is it?"

 

Suddenly, I hear a conversation behind me.

 

"Why is there a partition on either side of me? I can't see Amako-chan or Keira's face with this?"

"Do you need it?"

"What?"

"You don't need it, do you?"

"Yes......

 

This person is no longer good at various things.

Keira also seems to be slightly wary of Hannah because she knows Mr./Ms.'s slightly bad side.

 

"Usato, did Mr./Ms. Hannah do anything?"

"Look, Amako, this person looks decent, but he becomes a senior under very limited conditions."

「…… Wow."

"Usato-kun, can you please don't say anything bad about people?"

 

It's a fact.

I sigh in annoyance at Mr./Ms. who pulls the hood of my uniform from behind.

 

"I'll report to the Demon King when I get back...... Sigh."

"It's really disrespectful to the Demon Lord."

 

Koga sighs and says to me, "It's depressing to see you...... At the same time, it is a meaning that comes from the unworthiness of having failed in a mission.

In the end, I couldn't recover the power of the Demon King.

 

"I just don't feel like I can do my job."

"That being said, it's just one of the purposes of this exploration, and the focus is on investigating the development of the demon realm. That's what I did, and I don't think the Demon King will complain."

 

Did you fulfill your role?

Well, if you look at it objectively, the search seems to have been successful.

 

"Usato-kun has a strange habit of not having common sense, isn't he?"

 

Mr./Ms., sitting in a chair behind her, enters the conversation.

 

"It's better that you're not a mess like Koga-kun, but it's annoying to see you depressed."

"'That's a terrible thing to say......'"

 

Koga and I muttered the same thing.

But yes, as Mr./Ms. Hannah said, I may be thinking too strangely.

 

"Well, this will be the last time the Demon King has asked me to do it, and I will return to the Lingle Kingdom after my two-month term."

"Don't be quiet when you're gone, physically."

"Usato-kun has caused quite a stir in the city."

 

I want you to stop talking about people as if they were the cause of the noise.

At this point, Amako, who came out to lean forward, began to speak proudly.

 

"It's business as usual in the Ringle Kingdom."

"So, is it quiet over there while Usato isn't around?"

"Well, we have Usato's colleagues, and Suzune is now in the rescue team."

"Are you serious......?"

"By the way, Kannagi has also been confirmed to be in the rescue team."

"Ahaha......"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who looks a little embarrassed, finally pulls Koga's cheek.

 

"Isn't it overpowered? Where are you and this organization going?"

 

It's not an organization to fight.

For the time being, I would like to explain to Koga about the current state of the life-saving team.

 

"When the war was over, the role of the life-saving team was to secure and treat the injured during the war, but now that the war is over, the main purpose of the life-saving team is to be dispatched in the event of a disaster or other emergency."

"Wow."

"Well, I usually do something like a clinic...... There's a clinic in the castle town run by Mr./Ms. Uluru and his brother Mr./Ms., so people rarely come."

 

In the event of an emergency, they will be dispatched to save lives.

Today's rescue teams may be in a position similar to the fire department or the Self-Defense Forces.

 

"Oh yes, a lot has changed."

「…… No, I'm talking about it like it's someone else's business."

"Huh?"

 

I sigh at Koga.

 

"The members here are going to work for the Demon Clan from now on, right?"

 

That's what the squad is for.

He didn't just let Koga hear it, but he glanced back and looked at his six subordinates.

 

"This exploration is not the end of your role, but rather the real work is about to begin. Your hard work is indispensable in cultivating the place of the Demon Realm. That's what I've trained for, and I think the Demon King will be counting on you from now on."

 

It's about the Demon Lord.

I think it was because of this idea that I allowed the corps to train.

And I myself thought that their growth would be good for the demon tribe, so I was strict.

 

"Koga is also the captain, so do it well."

「…… Wow, that's a shame."

 

Koga scratched his head and nodded.

When I first met him, he was just looking for a fight, but somehow this thing is changing.

 

"You've got people to support you."

"......, wait a minute. What the hell are you trying to stick me into?"

"Nobody said it was Senri-sama, did you?"

"Damn ......!!"

 

I was a little teased, but I think Senri-sama's presence has also had a positive influence on Koga.

I think we are usually similar people, and I think we can build a good relationship regardless of our intentions.

 

"That's what you're doing...... No, I don't. You're worse than me......

"......Hey, wait a minute. Can you please stop trying to provoke me and stop turning to me? It's like I'm in a really bad situation."

「……」

 

Why do you look away from me?

He sensed that Koga's reaction was not a joke or anything, and he was impatient as usual.

It was Usato, who was about to change his fighting style from a defensive center to a strange direction.

 

That's all for this update.

Maybe the next episode will be updated as soon as possible
