Before I became a member of the lifeguards, I had no complaints about living in the castle.

Spread your knowledge through books, train your magic, and try to behave like a hero of the Ringle Kingdom.

It's a fulfilling life that is truly fantasy-like.

But after the battle with the Demon King is over...... Honestly, I had lost my way.

What will you do after defeating the Demon Lord?

Will you live as a hero?

Do you want to quit being a hero and go on a journey?

Of course, there must be some work to be done as a hero of the Ringle Kingdom.

But it doesn't mean much.

The life I seek is not immutable, but a stimulating daily life that is constantly changing.

 

"Good morning!!"

 

He opens the door, goes straight to the window, and opens the curtains vigorously.

The morning sun shines into the room, brightening the face of Ferm, the girl still in her dreams, and she frowns.

 

"Ferm!! It's a nice morning!!"

"Noisy...... This bokeh ......"

 

Ferm glared at me with half an eye as he sat up.

 

"You're making too much noise in the morning......

"If I don't do this, you're going to wake up, right?"

 

Or rather, you're the one who told me to wake up, right?

Ferm is a typical morning nerd, so he's in a bit of a bad mood when he wakes up, but it's not a problem because he's cute to say the least, waking up with his eyes watery.

Rather, it is legal because I have Ferm's permission to wake him up.

 

"I'm preparing breakfast, so please come down after you get dressed."

"Oh."

 

I nodded my head and slowly got off the bed, and when I decided that it was okay, I left her room.

Then, by chance, he meets a kannagi in the hallway.

 

"Good morning, Kannagi."

"Whew...... Tinne? Good morning."

 

Kannagi is also not as weak as Ferm, but he seems to be weak in the morning, and returns the greeting with a light gap.

I like the gap between being usually dignified and feeling dazed in the morning.

 

"You're doing well today......

"Oh! I always try to be healthy!! Also, I'm sorry I just woke up, but can I touch your tail!?"

"Hmm, I don't think so-"

 

I was gently refused.

As expected, I can't afford to let an unsuspecting kannagi attack me, so I'll put up with it and see it off.

I've had the experience of being almost crushed by the bulllyn when I woke up...... Yeah.

After saying goodbye to Kannagi as he headed to the water hole to wash his face, I walked down the stairs to the dining room.

 

"Oh, Suzune, did Ferm wake up?"

 

At the table in the dining room, she was already eating the salad that Nea had prepared for breakfast.

Basically, the life-saving team's breakfast is prepared by the duty officer and eaten by each person, so it is not a matter of everyone getting together to eat.

I sit down in my chair and reach for my breakfast bread.

 

"I'm awake, I don't know if I'll be here right away."

"If you look like you're sleeping twice, you'd better rip off the duvet, okay?"

"I'll do it then."

"I don't know what that means, but stop."

 

Well, Ferm doesn't live here either, so he'll wake up soon.

Above all, I wouldn't bother imitating Rose Mr./Ms. in a way that would make her angry.

 

"But Nea."

"Hmm?"

"You're a vampire, but you seem to be good at mornings."

 

Basically, Nea wakes up at a time close to me.

So, she and I are in charge of breakfast at this quarters, but considering her race, I have some doubts.

A hybrid of a vampire and a necromancer.

Both monsters are night owls no matter how you think about it, so how can Nea wake up so early?

 

"I've just gotten used to life here."

"Oh, that's ......."

"Vampires are night-loving monsters, but I'm an individual who doesn't care about that."

 

It has no weaknesses of either race...... I don't know.

It doesn't seem like it when you look at Nea normally, but it's actually a pretty amazing monster.

What if she stood in the way of the enemy...... To the point where it feels terrifying to think about.

 

"I wonder if I'll have to start accompanying Usato on his journey."

"What, are you proud of it!?"

"I reacted too quickly, just because it was daytime. Oh, but in the beginning, I slept on Usato's shoulder."

"Aren't you proud of it?"

 

Damn, it's a privilege to be able to transform into an owl.

 

"Well, it's okay, I'll go on this trip."

"I'm going too."

"It was...... Whew!!"

 

I ...... unconsciously thought that the owl Nea was a separate frame!

I don't know what it is, but I was conscious of it.

As she groans again, the door of the dormitory opens and a girl enters.

Keira, the girl with the baggage, smiles like a flower when she notices me and Nea.

 

"Good morning!!"

 

When we return the greeting, she puts the container back in the kitchen, washes her hands, and then goes back to the dining room to take a seat.

 

"Did you give Kukuru some food?"

"Yes, it looked delicious."

 

Kira had been entrusted with the task of raising rice to Kukuru before she knew it, so her morning was as early as the rest of us.

Perhaps because he originally traveled in the Demon King Territory, his basic lifestyle habits are solid.

So why is Ferm so ...... I think so, but I guess it's the difference between environment and personality.

 

"Keira, you're so cute today."

"Yes, thank you. Nea: Mr./Ms., I'm going to talk about today's training......"

"Hey, aren't you too used to my treatment!?"

 

It's Usato-kun! It's so insignificant!

I feel like Kira is starting to resemble Usato-kun in a different direction than Nak.

Even if I praise it, it will be treated like "yes yes" ......! !!

 

"No, because Mr./Ms. always says I'm cute, so I'm used to it."

"Damn, did I say too much...... I wish I could have seen you blush more."

"Keira, this is the end of the country's heroism."

 

You don't have to say it like you're so depressed!

But,...... I was just saying my own honest words, but I ...... this should be a variation!!

 

"It's been noisy since morning."

"Good morning, everyone."

 

And here Ferm and Kannagi come together.

Kannagi is fully awake and snappy, but Ferm is still sleepy and has a bad look.

 

"Did you do something again?"

"I'm tired of Suzune telling Kira how cute and cute she is."

"Hmmm."

 

Ferm sits in a chair with no interest in him, and Kannagi smiles wryly.

When all five of us are together, we all start eating the breakfast we have prepared.

 

"I haven't scheduled a training session after I have Mr./Ms. Rose watch the training in the morning, but do you guys train Mr./Ms.?"

 

In response to Keira's question, Kannagi, who is next to her, opens her mouth as she looks like she is thinking.

 

"So, are you going to run with me in the afternoon?"

"I was going to do some magic training, too, but it's free."

 

I was thinking of doing basic training on system degradation and all that, but I don't mind running in at all.

Also, no matter how much the Ringle Kingdom accepts Kira at the moment, it's dangerous to run around the city alone.

 

"Nair and Ferm will run together if it's free training?"

"Ah, me and Ferm have to be called by Usato to help with his training."

"When you say you were called by Usato-kun, I wonder if it's a coordination training or something?"

 

Basically, Nea and Ferm are mainly used as combat support, so I wonder if they will train for that.

 

"No, I'm going to train you using my magic and Ferm's assimilation."

"Well, what exactly does that do?"

 

Kira asks, wondering if it bothered her.

I can't imagine training using magic and assimilation, so I'm curious about it.

Then, Ferm, who had been throwing the torn bread into his mouth, opened his mouth in a somewhat dazed manner.

 

"I'm going to make it difficult for Usato to move around with my assimilation, and then I'm going to restrain him with Nea's restraint spell, and he was still laughing and moving around before, and it really didn't make sense."

"I see, so you're training with a load on your whole body.

"How do you understand, ......?"

 

There are similar training methods in the original world, albeit to varying degrees.

As expected, there is a limit, but Usato will not have to worry about it.

 

"He got a gravity magic scroll from the Demon Lord, so he'll use that as well."

"Scrolling? The Demon Lord?"

"I used to ask the Demon King to make it for me."

 

Aren't they friends anymore?

Even though he fought to the death like that, he only feels like he's already getting along with the Demon King.

 

"Usato-kun has quite a wide range of friendships, doesn't he?"

"No, no, I don't think there are many decent people, including us."

 

…… Certainly.

Come to think of it, it seems that Usato-kun is also a normal acquaintance with the former corps commander of the Demon Lord's army.

In his case, it may be that he has little interaction with people in a normal position.

…… You've gone off the rails from talking about your training schedule.

Just as I was about to return to the topic, the door to the dormitory opened again and someone entered.

 

"Oh, good morning!!"

"Oh."

 

When Kira greets Mr./Ms. Rose, who enters, she takes off her clothes and hangs them on the wall.

Rose, Usato's mentor and the leader of the rescue team.

Since I started living in the dormitory with her, I feel like I have come to know a little bit about Mr./Ms..

 

"Keira"

"Yes?"

"We're going to do evasion drills today."

"What?"

"Do your preparatory exercises well so that you don't throw up."

"Wow."

 

Letting out a fur seal-like moan, Kira nodded, her face pale.

Her training, while intense, is determined to the extent that it doesn't inhibit Kira's growth, and the effect is palpable.

Well, it's not just the results of the training that you can see, but also the changes in your personality.

As Rose was about to head upstairs, I thought I'd ask Mr./Ms. something that had been bothering me a little for a while.

 

"Speaking of which, where does Mr./Ms. Rose usually go in the morning?"

 

Mr./Ms. Rose always goes out somewhere early in the morning.

He always came back in about an hour, but I was honestly curious what he was doing during that time.

 

"I've got an errand for the castle."

"Oh, really?"

 

If you think about it every day since I came here, it seems to have been going on for a long time.

However, when I was in the royal castle, it was not often that Mr./Ms. Rose came from early in the morning.

If so, she used to go there every morning to find her men sleeping near the castle...... No, it's too much of an evil guess.

 

"I was just a little worried, so I'm sorry I stopped you."

"Well, I think you know what I'm talking about, but I don't want to say too much, do you?"

 

No, I don't know why I know what I'm guessing.

I feel like I'm being read as I see her go up the stairs.

 

「…… Well, let's eat fast and go to training!!"

 

Well, anyway, let's train as a life-saving team member Suzune today!

After a quick breakfast and various preparations, I left the dormitory while doing some preparatory exercises.

 

"Oh, oh!"

 

Just in the direction of the stables, I saw Usato-kun coming with Bulllin, so I waved my hand and greeted him with a dash.

 

"Good morning, senior."

"Good morning, Usato-kun, and so is Bulllin."

"Guh~"

 

I'm still sleepy.

Resisting the urge to stroke his cute blue coat, she naturally walks side by side next to him.

 

"Are you going to train with Bulllin?"

"yes, I've been having a lot of this stuff lately, so I thought I'd move it."

"Gua!"

 

- Burlin punches Usato's leg.

I smile wryly at him who doesn't shake in the slightest.

 

「…… It's fun."

 

It wasn't that I was dissatisfied with my life in the royal castle.

I came to another world and was impatient with fantasy.

He accepted his mission as a hero and threw himself into the fight for his life.

And after the battle with the Demon King as a hero, I think I had lost a little of my purpose.

You can live freely, but you don't have a purpose.

I'm a heartless woman who doesn't have the determination of Usato-kun, and who has no plans in her original world.

 

What can I do in the future?

What should I do if I want to live in another world as a dog misuzune instead of a hero?

The answer is still hazy, but now I think it's fine.

What I can say for sure is that I am "here" for my own purpose, not as a hero.

Because I can feel it strongly next to Usato...... It's a lot of fun and makes me happy.
