Although he was attacked by a demon, his subsequent help came to an end without incident.

The idea of appealing to human beings has completely failed...... Well, if you ask me which is more important, the safety of the people here or my impression, it goes without saying the former.

So I decided to give up on the idea that I would still be seen by monsters, and that I would open up again and work to my heart's content.

 

"Hmmm!!"

 

A log about the thickness of three human beings combined is thrust vigorously into a hole dug in the ground.

With a thump, I stood up ——— stool that served as the framework of the outer wall of the log standing vertically, and I let out a light sigh and relaxed my shoulders.

 

"Usato!? Please help me here!!"

"Oh, he's heavy!?"

 

Without having time to catch his breath, he ran up to Hiruk and Eige, who were doing the same work nearby, and lifted the leaning log.

It's a log that's a little smaller than mine, but it's not heavy enough for two demons to lift.

 

"I was saved."

"It's not something that comes up recklessly at all, so be careful."

"What are you doing to lift it up without being reckless......

"I'm training."

"No, I'm scared."

 

It's not my intention to be on the same page as these two guys, it's just that they happen to be together because I'm going to help out with all the heavy lifting...... Somehow, I got to know each other.

 

"Aren't you both just missing muscle? I can ask Koga to recommend you to rejoin the Corps......

"yes yes, I'm going to hold back!!"

"I don't like it...... I don't want to train......

 

It's not like I'm going to train them.

Well, the people here were former Demon King Army soldiers, so they were quite trained, but these two are almost the same as ordinary Demon Tribes.

 

"Well...... You don't have to force yourself to work out."

 

The Demon Clan has always sought the power to fight, but from now on, it will be necessary to learn other fields.

In that sense, the same can be said for me who decided to live in this world.

 

"Oh, hey, what are you laughing at......?"

"Are you thinking of something that will send us to hell ......?"

"No, why would it be?"

 

Do you think I'm just laughing and thinking that......? Isn't that unreasonable?

For the time being, while clearing up the misunderstanding, the three of them plunge the raised log into the ground and then move away from them.

It's time for a break, so I'm going to sit down and rest.

 

"Whew."

"I don't hide it anymore."

 

Nea, who was wearing my team uniform, said something like that.

Before you know it, ......? Is it instead of an awning?

 

"I don't have to hide it anymore."

「…… Certainly. It's going to be unfixable."

 

It's been three days since I started helping.

I was helping out as I moved around the city.

It's all hard work like I'm doing now, but I don't think about appealing as a human being anymore, so I'm doing it to my heart's content.

 

"Okay, it's getting a lot of sunlight and it's getting really hot."

"Maybe it's because the Demon King's power has been removed."

 

The reason why the sun did not shine into the Demon King Territory was because it was covered with thick clouds.

If it is due to the power of the Demon King buried in this land, then this change in environment is understandable.

 

"Good job, Usato-kun!"

"Mr./Ms. Uluru"

 

Mr./Ms. Uluru came in as cheerful as ever.

I take a towel and a water bottle from her and finally take a breather.

 

"You're a hard worker!"

"In fact, that's all he can do."

"That's not true, because Usato is a healing wizard."

 

Uluru Mr./Ms. says as she closes the distance to Nea, who says while glaring at her.

Because of the presence of Mr./Ms., who specializes in healing, I can do heavy lifting in the field, so what Nea says is not wrong.

 

"Oh, why are you wearing Usato-kun's uniform? I'll let you in."

"Hey, I'm not coming in because it's hot! You've got your own, don't you?!"

 

Uriuri smiles wryly at Mr./Ms. Uluru, who gets involved with Nea.

It's really amazing how close the distance is.

This pushiness is something I don't have.

 

"I'm really grateful that Uluru Mr./Ms. came."

 

It would have been hard for me to be the only healing wizard.

Thanks to Mr./Ms.'s dedication to healing magic, I was able to train my squad, and I'm really grateful.

 

"Usato-kun, that's your line."

"What?"

"It's about thank you for bringing me here."

 

Mr./Ms. Uluru smiled funny at me and continued.

 

"I've been working in the clinic as a healing wizard all my life, so I didn't know much about the outside world, so I was happy with that, and I didn't even think about leaving the clinic because I was worried about my brother."

"Is that so?"

 

I was overprotective of Mr./Ms..

 

"But now he's found someone with whom he could build a good relationship, and he's grown up to help out at the clinic without seeing him for a while......

"Huh, Nak is working hard every day."

 

I'm mentally and physically better than I was when I was Luxvis.

I feel like I've grown a little taller lately.

 

"That's why I was secretly determined to come here."

"Do you think you can change?"

"I don't know, but I enjoy living here."

 

It was good.

At least as far as I could see, Uluru Mr./Ms. was smiling the whole time.

 

"It's also fun to see how Usato Mr./Ms. become more and more like Rose."

"Oh, it's a lie, isn't it......?"

"I'm not lying, I look exactly like Mr./Ms. Rose when I'm training."

 

Mr./Ms. Uluru says to a stunned Nea.

It's not that I'm not happy to be told that I look like my mentor, but I think I still have a long way to go.

 

「…… Hmm?"

 

While talking to Uluru Mr./Ms., I suddenly notice a shadow approaching me from the sky.

…… Kyra?

She came to me with a dark magic cloak and came to me with great force, and as soon as she landed on the ground, she rushed towards me.

 

"Hey, Keira!? What's going on!?"

"Usato Mr./Ms.!!"

 

When I took her in and checked her expression, something was wrong.

I can't believe Keira is so upset...... Did something happen?

 

"Oh, that! Mr./Ms. Usato!! Ram ...... Ram!"

"First of all, calm down, I'll listen to you."

 

To calm the distraught Kira, she places a hand on her shoulder that contains a healing spell.

Keira, who had regained some composure from the healing vibrations, cried out to me in tears.

 

"Ram...... I was with the kid I was playing with!!"

 

——— ram was beaten.

As soon as I hear those words, I hold Kira and put on my dark magic cloak.

I'll ask for more details later.

First, soar high into the sky with the momentum of a leap and stop at a position where you can look down on the entire city.

 

"Usato Mr./Ms. I also looked for it from the sky......

"Keira, cover your ears."

 

He makes sure that Kira has covered his ears with both hands and takes a deep breath.

I couldn't have taken more air into my lungs, and I exhaled my voice at once ——— shouted my partner's name.

 

"Bullyyin!!!"

 

My voice echoes through the city, followed by a moment of silence.

But immediately after that———、

 

"Grraaaa!!"

 

After confirming that the staff of the dormitory had returned a reassuring roar, we descended to the ground.

When he gets down to where he used to be, Nea, who understands the situation, immediately talks to him.

 

"Keira, you said that Ram was beaten, but where did you get hit?"

"It's by the outer wall."

"Speaking of the side, the outside?"

"No, that's the inside, and it seems that there was a hole in the outer wall before I knew it...... Maybe that's ...... from there."

 

Is it planned......

At least not let the momentum take its course.

It seems that they knew where the children were playing and took action.

 

"They said they had black cloth wrapped around their faces, and only Rosé was hiding in the shadows and was saved...... The children who were with Ram were taken away...... Huh?"

 

Kira clutches tightly at the only shoe left of her.

It probably belonged to Ram, who had been left on the spot.

 

"What's Rose doing now?"

"I'm with Gref, I've already told the guards and they'll leave the search party soon......"

 

I ...... it already working.

But I don't feel safe.

 

"Usato, the other party is probably ......."

"Oh."

 

Premeditated crime.

Targeting the children of the demon tribe who are easy to abuse.

That the face was hidden.

Although it is not yet possible to say definitively, it is highly likely that the other party is a slave trader or someone who will be handed over to them.

Did you set it up when the Demon King's power was weakening? If you want to kill several children at once, there may be a decent number of them.

 

"It's a good courage."

 

I was prepared.

There will be such a person.

In fact, I also encountered bandits in the early days of this world...... This time, I came to my head.

 

"We've got a foundation for demons and humans to come together, and we can't let that ruin like this."

"Grrrrrr

 

Bullin, who appeared behind me with a cloud of dust, snorted enthusiastically.

In response to my voice, I stroked the head of Bulllin, who had run up to this point, and quietly burned with anger.

 

「…… Don't think you can get away with it."

 

I'm sure the people who have tormented their children now are thinking.

The relationship between demons and humans is still ambiguous, so as long as you leave the Demon Lord's Domain, you will be safe.

If you hand over the child, it's yours.

 

"It doesn't matter if they're human or not, I'll chase them even at the end of hell."

 

Even if I manage to escape from the Demon Lord's Domain, I will chase him across the country.

If necessary, I will rely on the people I have met on my travels so far to catch up.

We searched day and night——— and we made them angryexistence・・I'll let you know what it is.

 

"Bulllin, can you follow the smell of rum?"

"Grua!!"

"Okay...... Mr./Ms. Uluru. Tell the Demon King that I will move, and that he will track my magic."

"Okay!!"

 

He could do that.

I really want to call Amako and Mr./Ms. Nagi, but I don't have time right now.

After seeing off Mr./Ms. who ran out of the place, I unfolded my cloak.

 

"Keira, I'm going to help your family."

「! Yes!!"

 

Seeing Keira jumping into the cloak and Nea perched on her shoulder as an owl, I run out of the place with Bulllin.

Kidnapping a child must be a premeditated crime.

If so, you can assume that you have a base somewhere.

 

"I'm going to show you why I'm afraid of ...... devil."

"I'm going to say it myself, ...... but now I feel the same way as you ......!!"

"Grua!!"

 

I nodded to the enthusiastic Nea and glared ahead.

Absolutely help.

So don't give up until then, ...... wait!!
