A lot has happened since he was sent to the Demon Lord's Territory.

He was tasked with training and recruiting Koga's men to train new units.

He also collected a fragment of the Demon King's power, which was the request of the Demon King.

Looking back, it was a pretty intense two months, but the end was near.

 

「……」

 

When I visited the building near the mansion where the Demon King was, where the bodies of Rose's men were kept, I touched the coffin that contained them and lowered my eyes.

 

"I'm going to send you home."

 

And Mr./Ms. also frees herself from the clutches of the devil.

Muttering with determination, I let go of the coffin and called out to Kira, who was beside me.

 

「…… Keira, please."

"Yes."

 

The shadow that crept up from under Kira's feet turned into a cloak.

The cloak, which spread wide on the floor without any end of its transformation, sucked in six coffins like a bottomless swamp.

 

"I stowed it away!"

"Thank you, so let's go back and keep everyone waiting."

"Yes!"

 

He leaves the building with a smile on his face at Keira, who seems to be in good spirits.

 

"We're leaving now, but have you talked to Mr./Ms. Gref?"

"Yes, Gref was willing to send me away...... I'm a little lonely Mr./Ms. but I'm going to send you a letter, so it's okay."

"That's it."

"The hard part is that I started to complain that I wanted to go to rum and rosé too."

"Ha, ha, ha."

 

As expected, rum and rosé are still too young to be good.

But I'm glad that neither of us seemed to be traumatized by the incident the other day.

 

"You're under the protection of the rescue team, so you're not obligated to participate in training or anything."

"Yes, I'll do my best......!"

"Uh, yes......?"

 

Do you know?

I feel a lot of enthusiasm.

 

Before joining up with "Alc Mr./Ms. first become the Demon Lord...... What?"

 

I was thinking of leaving the building with Kira and stopping at the next pavilion where the Demon King was, but when I saw a large figure standing in front of the entrance, I approached him with a smile on my face.

 

"Aren't you busy?"

"Oh, I'm taking time for you. Be grateful."

 

——— before we showed our faces, the Demon King was already waiting for us at the entrance of the pavilion.

He's tall and intimidating, so even if he's just standing there with his arms crossed, he's a great presence.

The Demon King shifts his gaze from me to Kira and narrows his eyes quickly.

 

"Are you Keira?"

"Ha, yes!"

 

The opponent is an opponent, and Kira is a little frightened by the intimidating Demon Lord.

Thinking that it is understandable, I talk to Keira.

 

"It's okay, the Demon Lord isn't as scary as he sounds, and he'll forgive you for a certain amount of rudeness."

"You're too rude."

"See."

 

He smiles at the Demon Lord's words, and Kira nods, albeit awkwardly.

I think he prefers to speak in a broken way rather than to be overly respected.

 

"Is your next destination around Calmherio?"

"What do you expect?"

"I don't know that there is a body of him in a country that has a connection to the cult of heroes, and I have a feeling that it will be troublesome."

"Please stop trying to flag it weird......"

 

To be honest, I also feel faintly.

In the first place, there is even a possibility that there is a more troublesome incident in that country that has to do with me and my seniors.

No, maybe that's the trouble that the Demon King is worried about.

 

"I'm not particularly worried about you, but don't stray too far from people."

"I'm sorry, I'm a human by nature."

 

What the hell is this guy going to say?

The demon lord twists the corner of his mouth in amusement at my twitch and lightly flicks his hand and turns his back to me.

 

"I can't wait to see what you're going to do, Usato."

 

With that last word, the Demon King walked back into the pavilion.

Keira looks up at me as I sigh as I leave the place.

 

"The Demon King and Mr./Ms. Usato are good friends, aren't they......?"

"Haha......"

 

If you call it a good friend that you don't have to worry about it, maybe me and the Demon King are good friends.

Probably...... No, I definitely wouldn't say it to me and the Demon Lord.

 

●

 

Kira and I left the building and headed to the dormitory.

Everyone except me was preparing to return to the dormitory first, so I went back to my room to carry the luggage I had packed as soon as I returned.

 

"Usato-dono, I'm ready."

"Yes, Mr./Ms. Alc."

 

Nodding to Mr./Ms. Alc who called out to me through the open door, I grabbed my luggage and walked out into the hallway.

 

"Do you think you'll meet up with Senri-sama and Helena Mr./Ms. later?"

"That's right, we're talking about meeting at the outer gate of the city. At that time, it seems that the demon tribe will also come to see you off."

 

Is it a send-off?

That's a little embarrassing.

When he and Mr./Ms. Arc walk out of the quarters, Kira, Uluru Mr./Ms., Amako, Nagi, Mr./Ms. and Nea are already waiting for him, and behind them, Kurumia Mr./Ms. and all the knights Mr./Ms. are loading their horses.

And among them is a bulllin with a special saddle, and when he notices me, he quietly approaches me.

 

"Gua!"

"Good morning, Bullin, it's great to hear Mr./Ms. Kurumia quietly."

"Gua!!"

 

Mr./Ms. calls out to Uluru as she strokes the head of the bulllin who is tapping her feet while squealing another voice, and puts the luggage on her back.

 

"Good morning, Usato-kun!"

"Good morning."

"Bulllyn too!"

"Gru"

 

Uluru casually reaches out after me to stroke Bulllin Mr./Ms....... But Bullin snorts to avoid his hand.

Apparently, the treatment of Senpai and Uluru Mr./Ms. is still the same in Bulllin.

She looked at the hand that cut through the void stunned for a moment, then placed her hand on her head as if to deceive her, and turned back to me, her voice trembling.

 

"Hehe, hehe...... Usato-kun, have you forgotten anything?"

"Well, it's okay, because all I have is a change of clothes and a book."

"You have my book, so don't forget it!"

 

When I was replying to Mr./Ms. Uluru, Nea said something like that.

Even if I don't tell you, I don't have to worry because I kept the book in my bag. …… I mean, it's your luggage, so you just have to carry it, right?

 

"Is Mr./Ms. Nagi okay?" We're heading to the Ringle Kingdom."

"Hmm? Oh, I'm not worried about that."

 

For some reason, I couldn't ask until today, so I'll ask Mr./Ms. Nagi again about returning to the Ringle Kingdom.

As for the flow, it's like calling a place where you're slow in the land of beastmen, so you have to be careful about that.

 

"It's enough for me to be able to see with my own eyes what my sister and her family have built and spun into the present era, and the rescue team seems to accept me."

"yes, I guarantee that."

 

I told the leader about Mr./Ms. Nagi in advance, so it should be okay.

Besides, with this person's physical ability, I would be able to participate in the training of the lifesaving team normally, and I am looking forward to being able to train with him.

While they are having such a conversation, Uluru Mr./Ms. suddenly approaches Nagi Mr./Ms..

 

"I'm surprised, too! I can't believe the new member Mr./Ms. is such a beautiful person!"

"Oh, it's beautiful...... That's ......."

"It's beautiful!! It looks like Amako has become big as it is! Oh, can I call you Kannagi-chan from now on!?"

"Chan!?"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi is a little taken aback by her communicative ability with a big smile, but she looks away to see if she is embarrassed.

Come to think of it, Nagi Mr./Ms. was about the same age as Senpai and Uluru Mr./Ms..

 

"Hey, Usato, do you think this is Uluru saying I'm small or promising?"

 

Amako is next to me, looking up at me and saying something like that, but it's very hard to answer .......

As for me, I think it's about time for Amako to grow taller.

 

"Alc-kun, I've finished loading all my luggage."

"Oh...... Lord Usato, we're ready, let's move."

"Okay, Keira, I'm going to move, but are you already in the cloak?"

"Yes!"

 

With a thud, Kira slips into her cloak and puts the cloak on my shoulder.

Now I'm ready.

Let's head to the front gate of the confluence place.

 

●

 

In front of the outer gate, there were already soldiers guarded by Helena Mr./Ms. dispatched from the kingdom of Nirvarna and Princess Senri.

And in front of her stood Koga, whose hands were clasped so as not to miss her, with a puzzled expression.

 

"Koga-sama, my honeymoon with you was a lot of fun and full of sweet memories."

"You're charging at me without permission, aren't you?"

"It has become my daily routine to see your sleeping face every morning, but from tomorrow I will be lonely."

"It's about when you moved into our house without permission, right?"

"The daily training is intense--"

"I'm suspicious of the expression from a while ago!? You're trying to fill in the outer moat by planting misunderstandings around you!?"

"The outer moat has already been filled, so we are now pushing in."

"Isn't it supposed to be more serious?!"

 

Koga is very angry with Senri-sama who makes statements that are really likely to be misunderstood by people who don't know anything, but for me, it's an exchange that I've become accustomed to seeing in the past two months.

I finished saying goodbye to my subordinates the other day, so I'm not here, but Nero, Mr./Ms. Amira Mr./Ms., Hannah, Mr./Ms. Keira...... There are Gref Mr./Ms. who came to see Kira off.

 

"It's like going back to the Ringle Kingdom."

"Yes, thank you for accompanying me in training for two months."

"No, I had a lot of fun, too."

 

The other day, I thanked Mr./Ms. Nero for being in charge of the city's security force.

I've been really indebted to this person for training.

 

"Do you have any message for the leader?"

"No, I don't need it, he and I are going our separate ways."

"Well, I ...... know that if I tell you, I'll get a harsh response."

 

I wonder if Mr./Ms. Nero was able to look forward.

Only Mr./Ms. himself knows that, and I don't think I'm naïve enough to ask about it.

But...... The feeling of talking like this, I feel like he doesn't have any doubts anymore.

 

"Mr./Ms. Hannah also helped me a lot."

"It's true, it's been really hard since you came."

"Hahaha"

 

Mr./Ms. smiled wryly at Hannah who said that while turning away.

I've caused trouble for this person, and I've been taken care of. But I think we were able to get along quite well.

 

「…… Sigh."

"Isn't it too rude to look at people's faces and sigh?"

"No, I see, there was talk the other day that you and Mr./Ms. Amira might be given a new position by the Demon Lord......

"What kind of position do you have?"

"It's almost like an intermediary between the Demon King Territory and the Ringle Kingdom...... In the future, I'm going to visit the Ringle Kingdom often."

 

I see, it is true that the interaction between the Ringle Kingdom and the Demon King Territory will increase in the future, so such work will increase.

I feel like I can understand why the Demon King would entrust that role to Mr./Ms. Amira and Hannah Mr./Ms. whom he supposedly trusts.

 

"That's why I sigh when I think I'm going to see Usato-kun's face again."

"Then I'll show you the rescue team then."

"Oh, I don't like it......

 

I say to Mr./Ms., who turns pale in the face, without changing my smile.

 

"Don't worry, almost all of them are immune to phantom magic."

"I told you to rest assured now, didn't you?! Where's the reassuring factor!?"

 

That's because you don't have to deceive others and you can speak naturally.

And of course, I don't have any personal grudges...... Missing.

 

"And you're the last one."

"It's not the last time I like it."

 

Koga, who was about to exchange words for the last time, sighed when he looked at Senri-sama with a sideways glance and a smile on his face.

We've been talking about it for a long time.

 

"Wake up early in the morning."

"Oh."

"Work hard."

"Oh."

"Don't fight with anyone."

"My protector or something."

 

That's all I have to say.

I feel like I'm going to meet this guy for some reason, and I don't feel like I'm breaking up.

 

"No, I don't have anything else to say, so I'm confused."

"It's something you say in front of ......."

 

Koga scratched his head and looked dumbfounded.

This guy is also going to have to lead the squad from now on.

I have to act as a person in a solid position, not as appropriate as when I was the commander of the Second Corps.

I'm not in a position to say anything great, so I can't say this or that, but .......

 

"Well, you can get along with it."

"It's easy to say, seriously."

 

Somehow, they'll do it.

At least in the last two months, Koga has grown.

 

"Good luck, Koga."

"Huh...... Wow."

 

Koga smiles wryly and nods.

At the end of those words, I get on the back of Bulllin.

…… There were a lot of things, but the two months in the Demon Lord's Realm were a lot of fun.

 

"After all, your biggest nemesis is Mr./Ms. Usato......!"

"Hey, Usato, Senri is glaring at you......"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it...... yes."

 

Maybe Koga will have a harder time after this.

With that in mind, I began to move forward to return to the Ringle Kingdom.

The long Demon Lord's Territory arc is over, and the next step is to return to the Ringle Kingdom.

It seems that I can write a lively senior for the first time in a long time.
