The outside world for the first time.

The scenery I saw in a different place from the Demon Lord's Territory was a series of surprises for me.

Food you've never seen in a lively cityscape.

In the midst of all the unknowns, I came to the place where I was going to be taken care of, the rescue team.

The rescue team has two dormitories, one is a large old building and the other is a slightly smaller building that seems to have been built recently.

The smaller building seems to be where I will be sleeping from now on.

 

"You can heat the water with a magic tool, but it's on duty, and we'll help you until you get used to it."

"Yes."

 

Right now, I'm in the process of getting Nea Mr./Ms. to show me around the dormitory with Mr./Ms. Kannagi.

I've been taught how to use magic tools in a place called a bathhouse, but this is the first time I've seen a bath.

 

"Basically, breakfast and lunch are over there...... It's separate here and there. It's mainly me or Suzune who makes it, so don't oversleep in the morning."

"Understood."

"I'm good at getting up early!"

"Then you don't have to worry."

 

Mr./Ms. smiles at me as I reply cheerfully.

 

"Hey, I found Kannagi's training uniform, but is it okay to use this smallest one from Keira?"

 

As Mr./Ms. and I were talking, Mr./Ms. Ferme appeared from behind with folded clothes.

Maybe he brought me some clothes to wear here.

 

"That's fine."

"But this is obviously huge, isn't it? Are you okay?"

"Huh, I want you to leave that to me."

 

A little later, Mr./Ms. comes out from behind Mr./Ms..

She smiles confidently as she holds the futon instead of her clothes.

 

"If it depends on this dog and a sparrow, it will be a sewing ...... or two!"

"Are you sure you can't do it?"

"Huh, I'm not bragging, but I can basically do anything."

"It's infuriating that you can really do anything......

 

It seems that Mr./Ms. Suzune was a brave man.

I was really surprised when I found out, and I never imagined that the hero who was rumored to be a terrifying being in the Demon King Realm would be such a pleasant person.

 

"I'll take care of the clothes for me and Suzune, but first let's show Keira and Kannagi to the room."

 

Nodding at Mr./Ms.'s words, we went straight upstairs to the dormitory.

There are many doors in the passage, and there are as many rooms as there are.

 

"There are three rooms filled with me, Suzune, and Ferm, but other than that, you can choose any room you like."

"Oh, while Nea and Usato-kun were away, Mr./Ms. Rose moved to the third floor."

"Oh, is that true?"

 

Mr./Ms. looks upstairs and turns blue in the face.

 

"Heh, I'm usually scared......

"If you don't make a lot of noise outside of training, Rose won't be angry, so you don't have to worry about it too much."

"......, come to think of it, you're the one who somehow separates training from ...... rest of the world. In fact, it's only Usato and the others who are making a lot of noise and getting angry, yes."

 

But Mr./Ms. Rose certainly thought she was scared.

It had the atmosphere of an angry Mr./Ms., and above all, just being there made his presence felt amazing.

It was like being in front of a demon lord.

 

"Pick yourself up, Keira, Kannagi, you can choose your room."

"Oh, yes, hmm~......"

 

It's probably the same room everywhere, so it's not a problem.

I pointed to a room about two rooms from the middle that caught my eye.

 

"Then I'll do it here."

"It's the room next to mine."

 

　……。

 

"After all, I'm going to do it here."

"Why did you shift one, Keira? Why don't you make eye contact?"

 

Suzune Mr./Ms. has the same atmosphere as Hannah Mr./Ms., so let's keep a little distance.

…… Why do both Suzune Mr./Ms. and Uluru Mr./Ms. want me to be their sister?

 

"Then I'll go into the room between Suzune and Kira."

"How about saying that I'm dangerous next to you?"

 

He's not a dangerous person, but I think he's a person to be wary of.

Mr./Ms. is shocked for a moment, but soon smiles and begins to rub her hands.

 

"But Kannagi...... If I'm a fox, I can be you......!!"

"Hey, you're so reckless!! Stop, don'———."

 

It ...... that the sparrow Mr./Ms. is playing with the kannagi Mr./Ms..

I honestly think it's amazing that you're scaring Mr./Ms. who is so strong, but I think this person is also a weird person.

 

"Let's get our stuff in Keira's room first."

"That's right."

 

Nea Mr./Ms. and Ferme Mr./Ms. seem to have gotten used to Suzune Mr./Ms.'s behavior and are carrying the futon into the room I chose.

The room I chose was too big for me to live in alone.

I was surprised to find a bed with shelves for clothes, a desk, a chair, and so on, and I wondered if I could really use it alone.

 

"You can take out your luggage."

"Oh, yes."

 

First of all, let's take out my luggage that I have stored in my cloak.

I've already unloaded the rest of my luggage, so when I undo my cloak, my bag lifts up from under my feet.

 

「…… Your abilities have changed from the last time I saw you."

"Yes, I can do a lot of things besides flying."

"It's crazy, dude......

 

Mr./Ms. Ferme looked stunned when he saw my magic.

But I think Mr./Ms.'s magic is also absurd.

 

"I heard that Keira is going to be training here."

"Yes, that's what I was going to do."

 

I nodded to the voice of Mr./Ms. Nea who put the futon on the bed.

 

"I thought it would...... Well, I don't think you need to worry too much."

 

I mentioned earlier that I would be participating in the rescue team training, but Mr./Ms. seemed to know.

 

"You're still a kid, and your training policy isn't that bad."

"Oh, is that so......

"......, no, forget what you just said. Either way, the training here is horrible."

 

Mr./Ms. Ferm is saying something scary.

I'm used to seeing Usato Mr./Ms.training up close, but I don't think it's the same .......

 

"Anyway, we won't know until tomorrow about training, and maybe Mr./Ms. Rose will be the one to coach you."

"Eh, isn't it Mr./Ms. Usato!?"

"Mr./Ms. will see some of it, but Rose will decide the general training content, and Usato doesn't have the experience yet to teach you so that it doesn't interfere with your growth."

 

Oh, I see......

If you train too much, you may not be able to grow taller in the future......

I didn't think about it at all.

 

「…… I'll do my best."

 

It's my decision.

I'm not going to give up on it, and most of all, I've come here hoping to come here.

 

"Speaking of which, how long did you learn to dive into dark magic?"

 

As I was quietly muttering, Mr./Ms. Ferm asked me such a question.

Are you talking about diving into a cloak?

 

"Before I knew it, I was able to do it."

「…… Is your magic supposed to be able to be worn on anything other than Usato?"

"No, it's just Mr./Ms. Usato."

 

When I answer, Mr./Ms. holds her forehead.

 

"It's a matter of circumstances and it's a problem."

"It's the same as Mr./Ms.."

"You know what I'm saying......

 

I look up at Mr./Ms. Ferm, who sighs for the first time.

From now on, in a new place and a new place, my daily life as a lifesaver will begin.

If there's one thing I'm worried about, it's .......

 

"It's like declaring war on the momentum...... Are you okay?"

 

Nak ...... I was rude to Mr. Nak when I first met him.

To be honest, I think I was so overwhelmed that it was a terrible meeting when I think back on it. It makes me realize that there are still parts of me that can't control my emotions.

 

"Hmm? Did you do something?"

"Oh, yes, actually, ......."

 

I talk about my encounter with Mr. Nak, who was introduced to Mr./Ms. as a member of the group of the same age.

 

"He doesn't really care, he's the type of guy who takes it and stands up."

"Oh, really......?"

"You're starting to resemble Usato, it's just that you're not going in as weird a direction as he is."

 

At Nea Mr./Ms.Mr./Ms. words Ferme nodded in agreement.

 

"The next time I see you, I'd like to introduce myself again."

"Well, that's fine, if something goes wrong, I'll help you."

"Ferm Mr./Ms.......!"

 

After all, he ...... a kind person!

I look up at Mr./Ms. who looks away and says so with embarrassment.

 

 

●

 

While Nea and the others were escorting Kira to the dormitory, I was also seeing the tough men who had returned from training after carrying their luggage to the room for the first time in a long time.

Alec is preparing dinner, so the usual dining room table is with me, Tongs, Mill, Gourdo, and Gomulle.

 

"Oh, Usato, how was the Demon Lord's Domain?"

"It was a normal time I didn't expect."

"Really? You're doing something wrong, kid."

 

Guld is suspicious of my words.

If anything, I'm doing it, so I'll keep a poker face on my face.

 

"Excuse me, I've been living in the same way as in the Ringle Kingdom."

"It's not good, is it?"

"If you're just as usual, you're going to make a big fuss."

"Can't you see yourself objectively?"

"Why don't you bring the Ringle Kingdom and the Demon King Territory together?"

 

I feel that the country we live in is treated badly.

 

"What were the demon tribe guys like?"

「…… He was no different from us. We worked together to live every day."

 

In response, Tong leans back in his chair with his arms crossed and looks up.

 

"Then it made sense."

"What?"

"What do you mean by going to the Demon Lord's Domain?"

 

I'm a little surprised by the unexpected words of the tongs.

There were missions and various purposes, but I think it was certainly a big deal for me to see the Demon Lord's Realm and the lives of its people with my own eyes.

 

"You're a kid who doesn't have a lot of life experience."

"I don't respect my seniors either."

"I've always been cheeky."

"It was only the first two days you were normal."

 

I regretted looking at them for a second.

I'm your junior.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a little kinder? It's too creepy to be suspicious, though.

 

"Usato, were there any demons or anything rare?"

"No, I don't ...... anyone as great as you."

"I'm going to punch you, Teme!!"

 

I thought about the monster while joking and joking with the yelling Guld...... Suddenly, he remembers the many demons he encountered in the Demon Realm.

 

"When I started exploring the Demon Realm, there were only monsters I had never seen before."

"How far have you come?"

 

Mr./Ms. sketched the monsters she encountered and wrote about their brief characteristics and ecology, so I will summarize them again and publish them with the report.

Maybe it's information about monsters in places that can never be confirmed in the realm where we humans live...... Hmm?

 

「…… Is this a terrible discovery?"

"That's right, isn't it?"

"No human has ever gone deep into the realm of demons."

"Nu......"

 

Oh my gosh, that's a bit of a hassle .......

But I can't just throw it at someone, and I have to make sure that the report is properly published.

Hannah Mr./Ms. even wrote a sketch of the monster ...... a joke.

 

"I'm back now!!"

"Hey guys."

 

At this point, Nak comes to the cafeteria with a cheerful voice.

Behind her is Mr./Ms. Olga, smiling softly and raising her hand lightly.

 

"Oh, Olga, sit here."

"Thank you, tongs."

 

Prompted by tongs, Mr./Ms. Olga sits down in an empty seat.

Nak sat down in the empty seat next to me and looked around.

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato, where is he?"

"Kyatsu ......? Do you mean Keira?"

 

It's a great tone.

 

"Keira is being escorted to her quarters by Nea, I think she'll be here soon."

"I see."

"I think it was a bad start ......."

 

I'm starting to get a little worried, so I ask, and Nak smiles after a slightly surprised expression.

 

"No, I don't hate it, I guess that's the case over there, too."

"Oh, really?"

"But there's a line that I can't compromise on, and if he's going to be in the rescue team, he's a rival."

 

It doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Isn't it okay if it's a competitor?

The feeling that you can't lose is also a motivation.

 

"It's been a long time since I've seen Olga, Mr./Ms.."

"yes, it was tough to be in charge of the Demon Lord's Domain."

 

I'm glad that Mr./Ms. Olga seems to be doing well.

He seemed to be busy during the day.

 

"Mr. Nak did a great job, and he quickly learned what I taught, which was very helpful."

"No, I don't ...... that big of a deal."

"You don't have to be humble, I'm so glad you're here."

 

Mr./Ms. Olga praises her and Nak is embarrassed.

I put my hand on his head in compliment and let the healing magic flow for a moment.

…… Yes.

 

"It looks like you're doing a good job of turning your magic power."

"Wow, do you understand?"

"Somehow, though."

 

It's not a magic vision, but I tried to feel the flow of Nak's magic through my magic.

It seems that she has seen healing magic near Mr./Ms. Olga and has learned it well.

 

"Didn't Uluru bother you, Usato?"

"On the contrary, it was just helping."

 

Mr./Ms. took the initiative to help with the training, and especially the mental care of her subordinates who collapsed from fatigue, which was an important job that only Uluru could do, and I can't thank her enough.

 

"And ...... the Uluru Mr./Ms.?"

"He's going to show his face in the other quarters...... I'm scared that I'm going to say I'm going to live there someday, but I'll be glad ...... then."

"Ahaha......"

 

The room seems to be vacant, so it seems quite likely.

I don't think there will be any problems with that.

 

"Is Kannagi's sister a member of the group?"

"And the children of the demon tribe are coming, aren't they? Does he feel the same as Ferm?"

"yes, he's a good girl."

 

They will treat Kira just as kindly as they do to Nak.

For some reason, these guys are kind to juniors other than me, so .......
