There were 15 people in the crowd.

After subduing all of them and rescuing the kidnapped children, I first tied them up and locked them in a room in an abandoned house with the magic of Nea's restraint.

 

"That's it."

"Shall we take the kids outside, then?"

 

After confirming that they have locked them up properly, Nea and I go to call Kira and the others.

The three children, Ram, Cal, and My, seemed to have calmed down considerably, and looked relieved when they saw me enter.

 

"Come on, all the scary people are gone, so let's get out."

"I'm most scared of your words."

 

While being taunted by Nea, I put on the cloak with Kira and lift the children out of the abandoned house as if they were cloaks.

It's getting dark around him, so he lights up the light of healing magic in his right hand to illuminate the surroundings.

 

"Hmm?"

「「「……」」」

 

With a wry smile on my face as the children look up at the glowing magic bullets with a look of curiosity, I give them the magic bullets I made three more.

 

"Thank you! Usato's brother!!"

"Wow."

"Wow!"

 

I'm relieved that my energy seems to have returned.

…… I hope the previous experience is not traumatic for these children.

 

"Are you okay Keira?"

『…… Yes.'

 

He spoke softly to Kira, who was in his cloak, and a somewhat depressed voice returned.

 

"I'm sorry, I forgot myself."

"It's the one who beat the kids, that's understandable."

 

Earlier, when he was trying to capture the people, Keira's magic went out of control a little.

At that time, I was able to control and subdue the people...... I don't care about this at all.

 

"It's because of you that I was able to save the children."

『…… Yes.'

 

If they had been taken away, it would have been a hassle.

 

"Huh, I'm a little relieved that I didn't use the last resort."

"By the way, what were you going to do?"

 

Nea's voice on his shoulder makes him smile wryly, imagining what would happen.

 

"Relying on the edge of the world to push it in."

"Wow, I'm honestly horrified because of your friendship......

 

It's going to be horrible, especially around Lucas......

I know you like it, so it's not that I'm not good at it.

As soon as I get out of the abandoned house where I am trapped with my people, I hear loud footsteps and a bulllin jumps in.

 

"Grua!!"

"I'm sorry, but it's hard when you're on a rampage with a half-guy."

"Hun-so!"

"Oh, I'll give you rice Mr./Ms. later."

 

When I smiled wryly at the bulllyn who punched my leg, the children on the cloak on my back appeared.

 

"Wow, it's Bulllin!"

"It's a monster that my brother always carries on his back......

"Did you come with ......?"

 

Bulllin attracts the attention of children and snorts and snorts.

He looks back at the children as he strokes his head.

 

"Give me a compliment to Bulllin, because I wouldn't have found you if it wasn't for him."

"That's right...... Well then...... Bulllyn is great! It's so great!!"

"Thank you!!"

"Grua~"

 

In fact, I found this place thanks to Bulllin.

I was smiling when I saw Bulllyn being stroked by the children, but I noticed several signs approaching this place.

He steps in front of the children in a daze, but soon realizes who is approaching and unpacks his stance.

 

"Oh, it's already over."

"It was early, Koga."

 

It was Koga who jumped out of the forest and landed in front of me.

He walked up to me without looking particularly tired, and when he saw the children behind him, he looked relieved.

 

"The kid seems to be safe."

"yes, I was able to help before it was too late."

 

Maybe the Demon King let me go.

A little later, the five El-Mr./Ms. and Nono-Mr./Ms. on a flying dragon arrive.

…… Hmm? Is it Hannah Mr./Ms. who is riding the flying dragon with Nono Mr./Ms.?

 

"Yes, good job Sean...... Mr./Ms. Hannah?"

"Mmmmmmm!!"

 

Mr./Ms. Hannah, who got off the flying dragon without a word, approached me while glaring at me with jito eyes.

When she came up to me, she glanced at the children before quickly returning her gaze to me and waving her arms———、

 

"This idiot Mr./Ms.!!"

 

I slapped it with goo.

When I tilted my head, Mr./Ms. glared at me again while holding her hand with teary eyes.

 

"Didn't you tell me not to move so arbitrarily?"

"I'm sorry, I thought I had to go help quickly or I wouldn't be able to make it in time......

"You should at least let me know, right?! Or should I be accompanied by them and punished for the thugs who have tormented the children!?"

 

I'm leaking my personal feelings as much as I can.

That? Isn't this the person who is actually the angriest?

 

"For the time being, I'm going to show you the most terrible demonic visions in the world with the people you capture......

"Hannah, you can't do that."

"What, why?"

 

Nea calls out to Hannah Mr./Ms., who emits an aura that seems to look like the characteristic side tail stands on end.

Well, I'm stunned, so I can't cast an illusion spell———、

 

"I've already seen the terrible devil in the world."

 

It's impossible in that sense.

I also did it intentionally as a punishment to some extent, but ....... I don't think it's more than the phantom magic that Mr./Ms. Hannah shows.

 

"Damn, don't do anything more terrifying than my illusion magic!"

"Is there such an unreasonable thing?"

 

And why is it supposed to be doing something more terrifying than the phantom magic that Hannah Mr./Ms. shows?

Isn't that funny?

- She looks disappointed, and when she pulls back a little, Koga talks to her this time.

 

"Our mission is to rescue the children and secure the people who kidnapped them."

"After all, on the orders of the Demon King?"

"Oh, the Demon King was laughing too. You're on the move before you give orders. After that, I've come here by following your magic with the magic of the Demon Lord."

 

Koga points behind him with his thumb and sees a magic pattern floating in Nono Mr./Ms.'s hand on the back of the flying dragon Sean, which seems to have been given to him by the Demon Lord.

The geometric pattern in the shape of the arrow was pointing towards me, so it must have tracked me.

 

"So, let's talk about the next step......

 

I nodded when I noticed that Koga's gaze had turned to the children behind me.

It's a story that's hard for these kids to hear.

 

"Mr./Ms. Nono"

"Whew!!"

 

When I called out to him from behind, he was defensive.

He turns around with a momentum that seems to make an onomatopoeia, and tells him his requirements while wondering about Nono Mr./Ms., who takes a mysterious stance.

 

"Can I leave these kids to you for a moment?"

"Oh, what...... I don't mind at all!"

 

…… Are you sure you're okay?

Well, Keira is solid and should be okay as long as there is nothing too much to do.

We left the children to Mr./Ms. Nono, who was by the side of the flying dragon, and we moved a little further away and listened to Koga's story.

 

"You know they're going to take them to the city and detain them, right?"

"Oh."

 

Naturally, it is impossible to leave it here.

This is probably a big problem in the city as well.

 

"So, the problem is that the Demon Clan is in a precarious position in the eyes of other countries."

「…… Maybe you can't even interrogate them?"

"It's not just us."

 

At this point, I knew what Koga was trying to say.

In other words, if I am present, I can interrogate him.

Mr./Ms., who was traveling with her, raised her index finger.

 

"Well, it's just a statement, because an outsider, Usato-kun, has detained him at his own discretion. That's a lot different than what we catch."

"I see......

 

If you catch them based on the judgment of the demon tribe alone, there is a possibility that problems will arise later, but this time I caught them first, so I can treat them as villains.

 

"That's why the Demon King was trying to get you to go in the first place."

"He went straight to help, though."

"Ahaha......

 

Koga and Mr./Ms.'s words make me smile wryly.

I went with a lot of momentum, but depending on the situation, it could have been bad .......

 

"The interrogation seems easy, after all, there are me, Hannah, and Usato here. It's a full course of making you vomit with charms, phantom magic, or fear."

 

What's wrong with me being in the natural?

…… But they'll have to figure out how to enter the Demon Lord's Realm and the people they've hired.

 

"It's best to spit out the information and finish them off at their rendezvous."

"I don't think you ever thought that every single one of them would be caught......

 

I've confirmed that with my magic sense and Bulllin's sense of smell.

He caught no one missing, so that no one would know that he had been caught.

 

"Captain, I brought these guys with me......

"Oh...... Hmm? Hey, hey......"

 

Koga looks at the stunned faces of the people who were brought in, and smiles twitchingly.

 

"How do you get a face like this?"

"You look worse than we did after training, this is ......."

 

He peels the whites of his eyes with a look of fear, but honestly, if I don't scare him this much, I'm still going to repeat it.

But.......

 

"I don't think I'm doing anything more than fainting."

"What exactly?"

"They took advantage of the darkness to stun him, and he used his magic to stick them to the wall."

"It's a different kind of horror, and I'm going to pass out with a face like this."

 

Koga looks at one of the stunned people and makes a face like "Uh-huh".

Maybe I was unconsciously doing something creature-like a horror movie ......?

 

"And how did they do in terms of their abilities?"

"I stunned him with almost nothing...... I don't know."

"Well, even if it comes out of your mouth as normal, it's not a standard. If you can control it, that's about it."

 

Then why did you ask?

In fact, the only one who was the strongest was the one with an iron gauntlet on the arm that came out first, but he was able to sink it without any difficulty.

Fifteen people.

After hauling all of them out of the abandoned house and tying them up again while they were still unconscious, Koga gives instructions to his men.

 

"Oh, I'm going to load some of them on the flying dragon and carry them on our own."

"I'll help you too."

 

Transporting people is my specialty.

I was a little nervous and tried to help, but Koga shook his hand faster than I could.

 

"You don't have to."

"No, I can say it's my day job."

"We're going to take care of them, and you're going to have to get them back to their parents."

"Koga ......"

 

I was surprised by the unexpected care.

In the beginning, he was a guy who would start fighting out of the blue...... It's kind of emotional.

 

"You...... It's rounded ......."

"Okay, let's punch each other in the early morning training tomorrow, I'll beat you up......!!"

"Huh? It's great. I'm going to get my revenge."

"The flow of the conversation is so fast that it's going to capsize."

"These people are really ......."

 

He stares at Koga without caring about the muttering of Nea and Mr./Ms. Hannah.

I ...... that I was going to wake up early in the morning.

Senri-sama's efforts are bearing fruit.

 

"If that's the case, I'll indulge in your kindness."

"Oh...... Oh, as soon as you get the kid back home, go to the Demon Lord."

"Ryokai"

 

I'm sure it would have made the Demon King feel hilarious again. I can see the smile on his face as he still laughs funny.

With a sigh, Hannah and Mr./Ms. go to Kira and the others who are with Nono Mr./Ms..

 

"Keira, we're done talking about this, let's go home."

"Yes!"

 

Keira slips into my cloak and puts it on my shoulders.

The cloak is deformed and widened to make it easier for people to ride.

 

"Okay, it's okay to ride."

"Then don't hesitate."

 

Mr./Ms. Hannah was the first to get on board.

The children follow suit.

These children also rode it once when they left the abandoned house, so they rode without confusion.

 

"Bulllyn, you can take a ride, but what do you do?"

"Grua!"

 

Burlin shook his head and pointed with his head at the crowd being carried outside.

 

"Are you going to help Koga and the others?"

"Gua!"

 

Did he want to go on ......?

But if that's the case, I thought, and when I tried to leave it to him while stroking Bullin's head——— Nea, who was on his shoulder, moved to Bulllin's head.

 

"Then I'll go home with Bulllin, so we can deal with it when the spell of restraint is broken."

"Grua!"

"I think it's safe if Nea follows you, but then I'll drop them off at home, so be careful."

"yes, that's too."

 

I tell Koga that Bullyn and Nea will help me take them away, and I fly up into the night sky in my cloak.

The children shouted with joy at the scenery of the forest seen from the moonlit sky.

 

"Wow."

"I've never been to such a high place before!"

"Me too!"

 

Well, it's not often that you have the experience of flying.

That's how special Keira's magic is.

 

"It's dangerous if you fall, can you hold on to me?"

 

What about Hannah Mr./Ms....... No, I won't tell you.

 

"Usato's brother."

"Hmm?"

 

As I smile wryly at Mr./Ms., who seems to be the only one who seems satisfied, Ram calls out to her.

 

"All the people I've met so far have been kind people...... Those who beat us weren't."

「…… Let's see. I've scared you guys. I'm really sorry."

 

Ram has probably met the servants who were sent to the city and the people of the Ringle Kingdom.

But today, it was other people who turned their ill will on these children.

…… There must be a certain number of such people outside the Demon Lord's Domain. This time, we saw the malice of such people, so it is not surprising that these children have been deeply traumatized by it.

 

"It's not your fault, Usato."

 

Ram denies my words.

Taken aback by the cheerful voice, she continued.

 

"I know there are people who are scared, because there are people who are scared of demons like us."

"Lamb ......"

"That's why I'm not scared of Brother Usato! Because they came to help us!"

"That's right!"

"I'm not scared at all! And it was so strong!!"

 

They tell me to follow Ram's lead.

Isn't it scary?

After scaring a lot of people, this kid's words are a bit of a slap in the face.

 

"It's funny...... Usato-kun isn't scared ......."

"Mr./Ms., do you want to walk home to the city alone?"

"Isn't it your loss when you think I can go home on my own?"

_______________________________________

It's funny, why am I losing?

Confused by Mr./Ms., who was mentally stronger than when I came to the city, we continued to fly toward the city.

It was the Demon King who was surprised by Kira, whose magic was a little out of control, and Usato, who was already charging before giving the order.
