The rams were able to return safely to their guardians.

Mr./Ms. Gref, who was worried about Ram's safety until late, thanked me with tears, and I was greeted with a very itchy welcome.

I'm glad I was able to help safely.

I wholeheartedly agree.

 

"Can I make a play out of your struggles this time?"

"Can I slap you?"

 

He replies to the Demon Lord, who throws a silly joke at the head of the encounter, with a blue streak on his forehead.

The demon lord is resting his elbows on the table in the study, his mouth twisted in amusement.

 

"Stop joking."

"It was a masterpiece to joke about."

「…… Did you see it?"

"Obvious, right?"

 

Saying this, the Demon King floats a spell beside him and summons something that looks like a crow.

This is...... The guy who was watching me during the final battle.

As I was looking at the magic and remembering it, Mr./Ms. offered me a cup of tea that Ciel had brewed in front of me sitting in a chair.

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato was amazing."

"Ha, ha."

"It appeared and disappeared from the darkness, like a ghost......!"

 

I'm not very good at ghosts, but .......

I drink tea while smiling at Mr./Ms. Ciel, who says that to me as if it were an impression of a movie.

 

"But you're the one, and you'll do better if you let him swim without giving you bad instructions."

"I'll take it as a compliment."

 

But this time, things went in a good direction, so I was glad that something went wrong.

…… I have to reflect on that.

 

"I've been watching you charge like a wild boar from a distance, and I'm happy to see something hilarious."

"It's best to meet your expectations......

 

He shrugged his shoulders and said that, and the Demon King was in an even better mood.

 

"Anyway, it worked well."

"In the end, it was just a good result, but it didn't change the fact that it moved on its own."

"Still, it doesn't change the fact that you rescued a young child. ———Thank you"

 

What......?

At the words that came out of the Demon King's mouth, Mr./Ms. Ciel, who was standing beside me and the Demon King, rolled his eyes.

 

"I never thought I'd be thanked by you......

"This is the first time I've seen the Demon King say thank you."

"Aren't you too rude?"

 

The Demon King holds his eyebrows and sighs at the reaction of me and Mr./Ms..

No, I was really surprised.

But for the Demon Lord, the incident that happened this time must have been troublesome.

 

"We're going to hand them over to the other side of the country that we've captured."

"I've heard from Koga that I'll be present at the interrogation?"

"Oh, it's more convenient that way."

 

I know that, so I don't have anything to say.

As for me, I would like to know how to enter the Demon Lord's territory and information on the guy who hired the underlings.

 

"Couldn't you have prevented it this time?"

"It's my fault for that, I'm not going to make excuses."

「…… No, I'm sorry if I said it in a blaming way."

 

I know that the Demon Lord is in trouble, so I apologize for my thoughtless remarks.

He is the one who stabilizes the environment of the Demon Lord's Realm with magic and plays a central role in the reconstruction of the city.

　

"Now that we have the outline of the expanded city, we plan to devote more personnel to security in the future, and now that I have finally completed one task, I will be able to activate the sensing magic."

"Then you can rest assured in the future."

 

This incident was really bad.

It's like it succeeded because it was done before the Demon King put effort into security, and you can't even get close to it, right?

 

"I'm going to leave the overall security to Nero."

"Oh, it's a terrible ......."

 

It's far from getting close to the city.

But Mr./Ms. Nero is too dependent on security.

 

"That's all there is to it."

"Still something?"

"Oh, you can take it easy."

 

Is this a personal story?

Drink a cup of tea to calm yourself down and listen to the Demon Lord's story.

 

"It's about a girl named Keira."

"Yes? What's up with Keira?"

 

When I talked to her before, she seemed to be paying attention to me, but I ...... to talk about something?

The demon lord who rested his elbows on the table as I wondered continued to speak.

 

"I'm going to leave the girl in the Lingle Kingdom."

「…… Huh?"

 

I was stunned by the proposal that skipped several steps.

Eh, Kira to the Ringle Kingdom? I don't think it's a joke...... Why is the Demon King saying that?

 

"I've said it before, but the rarity of that girl's magic is immeasurable, and this incident has made me realize that once again."

"Is that it......

"Ah, the devil understands the usefulness of my daughter, and it is not unlikely that she will come to you as a hostage or a pawn."

 

…… Not low, huh?

Keira's magic has the potential to do just that.

 

"I could protect myself, but as you can see, we're in a situation where we don't have enough hands, and that doesn't mean we won't have anything."

"I haven't been in the Ringle Kingdom for a long time."

 

When I return to the Ringle Kingdom, I have an approximate location to go next.

In that case, it shouldn't be a good story because it will be in the form of leaving Kira, who was brought to the Ringle Kingdom, unattended.

 

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not leaving it to you personally."

"What?"

"I'm telling you I'm going to leave you in the life rescue team to which you belong."

「…… I see."

 

I agree with the words of the Demon King.

Not to me, but to the rescue team?

 

"Certainly, if you are close to the Leader, you can avenge any entity that comes your way."

"Your master is as good as Nero."

 

The question is whether or not Rose will accept this...... I'm sure you'll be fine with this.

As expected, I know his personality, so I'm sure he'll accept me even though he seems to be troublesome.

 

"I'll explain it to Keira for now."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll agree anyway."

"What...... Is that so?"

"I'd rather be happy to follow you."

 

He seems to be convinced now.

But no matter how much it is the Demon King's proposal, this is it.

I'll just explain it to Kira as a proposal from the Demon Lord.

 

●

 

When I left the mansion where the Demon King was and returned to the dormitory where Mr./Ms. and the others were, I found Bullyn and Nea, who had finished taking the people to the city.

Nea, who was sitting on Bulllin's back, waved at me when she noticed me.

 

"I'm back now."

"Gua!!"

"Welcome back, I've just finished reporting to the Demon Lord."

 

It seems that the people have already been taken away, and all that remains is to rest.

 

"You did a great job today, Bulllin, you can rest afterwards."

"Grua!"

 

If it wasn't for Burlin, I wouldn't have been able to find my kids sooner.

After being stroked on the head and squinting, Bulllyn squealed before entering the stable and lying down.

Smiling at the familiar figure, he speaks to Nea next.

 

"What are you going to do after this?"

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep here, and Hannah will be back over there and she'll explain the situation."

 

It's already late at night, and that's okay.

I nodded at Nea's words and entered the dormitory where I usually stay, and there was Mr./Ms. Uluru in the living room.

Apparently, she was waiting for us to come home.

 

"Usato-kun!! The kids were fine!?"

 

I answer with a sense of urgency from Uluru Mr./Ms., who came up to me with great momentum as soon as she saw me.

 

"Yes, I rescued him immediately, so he is safe and uninjured. I'm with my parents now, so I'm fine."

"That's it...... I'm glad I did."

 

Saying that, she exhaled and Mr./Ms. Uluru sat down in her chair as if she were weak.

I guess I was always worried about my children's safety.

 

"What about Mr./Ms. Alc?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention it, but I saw them when they were taking away the bad guys, maybe they were watching or checking on you?"

"Nea-chan is right, Usato-kun went to the people he caught just before he came here."

 

I see, that's what it was.

It's hard if the other party is the opponent and provokes the demon tribe people to get angry.

I understand that Mr./Ms. and the others went there in preparation for such a time.

 

"Was Mr./Ms. okay on her own?"

"I'm fine, and I'm sure Usato-kun will be back soon, so I've been waiting here."

 

I'll be lonely when I go back and there's no one there! Mr./Ms. laughs cheerfully.

I ...... that he was waiting for me.

Mr./Ms. clapped her hands and looked at me and Nea.

 

"Oh, Usato-kun, Nea-chan, are you hungry!?"

"Oh, yes."

"You're so hungry."

 

Come to think of it, I hadn't eaten anything since noon.

When I suddenly became aware of it, I was extremely hungry.

 

"I was too worried to eat anything, so I'm going to make it now!!"

 

I see off Mr./Ms. Uluru, who seems to be relieved and energetic, and runs to the kitchen with a flutter.

 

"He's really doing well."

"That's why I brought you here."

 

One of her strengths is that she can treat everyone equally.

I'm also helped in part by her sole.

As I listen to the sound of Mr./Ms. making dinner in the kitchen, a quiet moment passes.

I also closed my eyes without thinking about anything in particular, and passed the time by turning my magic power———、

 

"Hey, Usato."

"Hmm?"

 

——— Suddenly, Nea calls out.

When I see her resting her elbows on the table, she speaks somewhat languidly.

 

"You're going back to the Ringle Kingdom soon, aren't you?"

"yes, that's right."

 

There's almost nothing for us to do here.

I'm done helping the Demon Lord, and I can train my troops without me.

I don't want to stay here a little longer, but the rules have been decided, and I can't extend my stay on my own.

 

"For some reason, I enjoyed my life here."

"That sounded like fun...... In many ways."

 

…… There's something to it.

When I look at Nea, she diverts the topic with a slight panic.

 

"Where are you going next?"

"What's next?"

"After the Demon Lord's Domain, I know that you will return to the Lingle Kingdom for a while, but something has not been decided?"

 

It's too early.

As for me, I'm curious to see how the seniors in the Lingle Kingdom are doing, and I want to see how much Nak has grown in Olga's Mr./Ms. clinic.

 

「…… You're not going right away, are you?"

"But it's decided, isn't it?"

 

I knew, I could only shrug my shoulders at Nea, who was smiling at me.

I can't help it, I'll tell Nea.

 

"I think the next place I'm going to go is Calmherio."

"Why?"

"One of the reasons is that it's Sia's hometown."

 

Earlier, when I spoke to Xia in the poisonous land where the Demon King's power was sealed, I heard about her hometown and her family.

If Sia's family lives somewhere in Kamherio, I want to find out if there is any information about Shea's safety and what is haunting her.

 

"Shea also said that she found Mr./Ms.'s body near her hometown, and that it implanted memories in her."

"Certainly, we should look into that."

 

Mr./Ms.'s body.

If there was, there must be some kind of clue.

 

"But I can't move right away, because the Demon King asked me to do something again today."

"Well, what are you doing this time?"

"Bringing Kira to the Ringle Kingdom"

「…… Huh!?"

 

I explain the same thing to Nea, who reacts almost the same way as I do.

At first, he seemed suspicious, but as soon as he heard the story, he was convinced.

 

"I don't have any complaints, but ......."

"But?"

"It's tough to knack."

"Oh, yes."

 

Suddenly, the number of friends of the same age may increase, and Nak may be in trouble.

Maybe I wasn't able to make many friends like that at Luxvis because of the environment around me.

 

"And the tins."

"......, it's okay if you're a senior."

"Hey, maybe Vina and Hannah are paralyzed, but Suzune is also quite a bit, isn't she? In fact, it's the hardest thing to deal with you."

 

I'm a little scared of the senior's reaction when I take Kira to the Ringle Kingdom.

Moreover, since she will be in the care of the rescue team, Kira will inevitably live in a dormitory with her seniors...... Yeah...... Good luck to Nea and Ferm.

 

「…… I get chills, but it's my fault, right? Usato? Why look away? Usato?"

"Come to think of it, I'm hungry."

"Look over here......!!"

 

She leans over and grabs my head between her hands and tries to push me forward, but I resist it with my neck muscles.

 

"Gugugu!! I can't turn it at all!?"

 

I wonder how Ferm is doing.

That kid seems to be getting along well with his seniors for some reason...... When I get back, I'm going to hit me.

 

 

 

It was a confirmed time to go to the Ringle Kingdom.

He told Usato about Sia's hometown around episode 336.
