The bases set up on the plains were much larger than I had imagined.

With the troops and supplies of the Four Kingdoms gathered, I think this size is natural, but I was still overwhelmed.

 

"Is there a lookout tower or a wall on the other side of ...... base?"

"Even though it's unfinished, it's amazing to be able to make something like this in such a short period of time."

 

He glances sideways at the walls and lookouts being built on the front line of the base and nods to Nea's muttering.

When we arrived at the base, we were guided to the place where we were going to be working under the guidance of the knights of the Ringle Kingdom who greeted us.

The soldiers from other countries passing by looked at us curiously, but most of the reason was probably Burlin.

A familiar knight from the kingdom of Ringle wouldn't think anything of it now, but to the soldiers of other countries, the Blue Grizzly is a dangerous monster.

 

"How's your armor doing?" Bulllin"

"Grua~"

"Well, I'm not comfortable with you, I'm sorry, I asked you something strange."

 

Stroking the cheek of a frustrated bulllin, he looks at the armor he wears.

Pure white armor, like me and Rose's uniform, is equipped to cover the entire body.

Of particular note is the belt attached to its back and the large saddle.

The wounded can be placed in this saddle, secured with a belt, and carried to the base in the same way as in black.

 

"You know your role, don't you?"

"Gru"

 

At my words, Bullin nodded emphatically.

Bulllin has two roles in the rescue team.

To undertake the injured from the black clothes.

Use that armor to protect the wounded and rescue them in the same way as the black clothes.

Rather than attacking the enemy as a demonic beast, Burlin's role is to save his allies as a member of the life-saving team

 

"Usato"

"Yes? What is it?"

 

Suddenly, he is called out by Rose walking in front of him.

She talks to me while looking forward.

 

"I was just told by a knight that an additional healing wizard has already arrived."

"Is that so...... so let's meet now?"

"Yes, but I have work to do first. I'm sorry, I'm going to see the new face later."

 

Well, I know Rose is busy because she has her duties as the leader of the group.

 

"Does that mean I'm going to give you an explanation about the rescue team?"

"You're getting better, you're right, and I think you're the right person to do this."

"What? Why?"

"I can't scare them right now, you'll have a little easier doing it than I do."

 

Was this person aware that he was scared......

No, it's true that the healing wizard you're about to meet has the same personality as Nack when you first met him in Luxvis, so there's no way he wouldn't be afraid of Rose.

 

"If that's the case, leave it to me."

"Oh, I asked for it."

 

You've taken on an important role.

Even if it's a sudden participation, you'll be joining the fight together, so you don't want to leave any weird ruts behind.

 

"First impressions matter, yes."

"I have a bad feeling ......."

 

Nea muttered something like that, but it didn't matter.

Through my journey of handing out letters, I have learned how to interact with people I have never met before.

It's safe if you don't yell at them.

 

"Speaking of which...... Kazuki and his seniors are also here......

 

I haven't seen them, but I'm sure Senpai and Kazuki are here.

I'm sure they're both busy working as heroes, but I'd like to see them at least once.

 

●

 

The base of operations of the rescue team that we were guided to had a considerable amount of space.

It seemed that there were several large tents, first aid supplies, rugs for laying down the wounded, and everything else they needed.

If this much space is secured, it is unlikely that it will be overwhelmed with injured people soon.

 

"The healing wizards who arrived earlier are in that tent."

"Oh, I know."

 

After seeing off the knight who was guiding her, Rose turned around and turned to face me.

 

"Usato, as I said before, I'm going to leave this place, and I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, leave it to me."

"As the deputy leader, do your job well."

 

Placing her hand on my shoulder, Rose passed me and headed towards the back of the base.

I took a deep breath to calm my excitement with a sense of mission, and turned to the rescue team members.

 

"Let's start by sorting out our belongings and supplies, Ferm, and I ask you to stay out as little as possible."

"I know."

"Please? It's not out of the realm of possibility that you'll be attacked by a misunderstanding. Even if you get caught, we'll do our best to protect you, but it's better not to get caught."

「…… Ahh

 

While you're in this base, you'll need Ferm to hide his face.

The knights of the Kingdom of Lingle are well aware of Ferm's existence, but the knights of other nations are not. At worst, you could be treated as a spy and slashed on the spot.

And.......

 

"Mr./Ms. Olga must be tired from traveling, so leave the rest to us and rest your body."

"No, no, I'll help you with something."

"You're right, Usato-kun, your brother is too poor, don't overdo it."

 

Mr./Ms. Olga was born weak.

Traveling in a carriage is tiring just to sit, so I want him to rest as much as possible.

Besides, he is arguably the most important person for the rescue team.

 

"You're right with him and Uluru, Olga."

"Tongs...... Sorry. It's just that my body is weak."

 

Mr./Ms. apologizes to Tongs who patted her shoulder lightly.

He talks to him as if the other tough guys care.

 

"If you were born with it, you can't help it."

"We don't think you're a nuisance, we don't care."

"You Mr./Ms.'re the linchpin of the rescue team, so you need to get a good rest."

"Leave the heavy lifting to us."

"Everybody...... Thank you."

 

Mr./Ms. nodded in gratitude at their words.

…… Even if his face is scary, he's basically a good person. The face is scary, though.

 

"So, the tough guys and Ferm are going to check and sort out the supplies."

"What are you going to do? I won't allow you to slack off just because you're the deputy leader, Korra."

"Listen to the end...... I've got to get my hands on the reinforcement healing wizard first. Besides, I think Nea and Mr./Ms. Uluru will follow me."

 

As I explained, Mr./Ms. pointed at me and tilted her head.

 

"Usato-kun, what should I do?"

"Mr./Ms. is going with me to meet the reinforcements, and to be honest, I'm worried about being alone, so I hope I can get your help."

"Of course, leave it to me, I'm glad you relied on me right away."

 

Frankly, I'm worried about meeting face-to-face alone.

So I can rest assured that Uluru Mr./Ms., who has a cheerful and kind impression, will be with me.

 

"Usato, why am I?"

"You seem to have an eye for people, so why don't you come with me?"

"Ah, I see."

 

It's one thing to say it myself, but I'm not good at being suspicious of people, so it's easy to be fooled, and I've actually been a mess. That's why I decided to take a lot of sharp nea with me.

If there is Mr./Ms. Uluru, who has high communication skills, in addition to Nea, it is a gold rod for the demon.

Okay, so that's the end of the first allocation.

As I try to get them to move on to their tasks, I notice that Tong has a hand on his chin and a look of emotion on his face.

 

"But if you're going to be the new Healing Wizard, and you're going to be the ones to have our backs, I'm looking forward to meeting you now."

"No, you guys shouldn't see each other right away."

"Huh? Why?"

 

I'm going to answer Tong's question without hiding it.

 

"When people who don't know anything see you, they'll think you're bandits or bandits first, so I'll explain it to you first, and then I'll put it together——"

"I think you're pretty good too."

"In terms of the scariness on his face, he's a bit of a jerk."

"No, it's more vicious because of the sudden change."

"Sure, you're going to be fooled by your first impression."

"It's not decent when you get into a fistfight with your sister."

 

　……。

I see, I see.

 

"Alright, why don't we settle this place with a fistfight without any further fistfights?"

"Usato-kun!?"

"Oh, calm down! Usato!"

"Oh, what do you mean by calm, ......?"

 

Oops, I was trapped in anger.

Mr./Ms., Nea, and Ferm's words brought me back to myself, and I said, "Excellent!" While apologizing to both the tough faces with the expression on their faces, I will return to the story.

 

"I'll help you with that as soon as you're done, so you guys can start first, so please don't start fighting or making noise, okay?"

""Oooh""

"Ferm, too?"

"You don't have to say it over and over again. …… I don't want to bother you."

 

Ferm turned away and said.

Then, after seeing the strong faces heading to their respective jobs and Ferm, I turned to Uluru Mr./Ms. and Nea.

 

"Okay, let's go meet the healing wizards who are reinforcing us, and Nea has been transformed into an owl."

"I know."

"I don't know what kind of people they are, I'm nervous, but I'm looking forward to it."

 

Seeing Nea transformed into an owl on my shoulder, I approached the tent with the excited Uluru Mr./Ms. to the tent where the reinforcement healing wizard was.

I immediately arrived in front of the entrance of the tent, took a small deep breath, put my hand on the cloth at the entrance, and went inside.

 

"Excuse me--"

"Look, look! This is an article that summarizes Suzune-sama's great confession to Usato-sama! It's the full version!"

"Whew...... Whew!"

 

The moment I entered, I was on my knees......!?

Nervously, he looked into the tent and saw a girl with bluish-black hair in a ponytail holding a bundle of articles and a woman with black blonde pigtails with a troubled smile on her face.

And away from them, a blonde man about the same age as me is sitting in a chair with no place to go.

Presumably, these three are the healing wizards of reinforcements.

 

"Usato-kun, are you okay?"

"Yes, but the healing wizard of the increase...... It's a force to be reckoned with......

"Isn't it just because of the tin......?"

 

All three of them seemed to notice me and immediately lined up side by side.

I can't allow myself to expose any more ugliness, so I'll introduce myself firmly.

 

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ken Usato, the deputy leader of the rescue team. On my shoulder is my familiar Nea. Thank you so much for coming here. We, the rescue team, are very happy to have you join us."

"Wow, it stinks ......."

 

He introduces himself as he almost breaks a smile at the murmur of the nair on his shoulder.

 

"Is it completely different from ...... picture?"

 

The ponytail girl's muttering cuts her mentality, but she manages to get through and makes sure to introduce herself to Mr./Ms..

 

"I'm 18 years old, Uluru, and I'm a member of the Rescue Team! Coming here, there may be some anxiety, but let's all do our best to overcome it!"

 

There's not a shred of my friendliness, it's the kind of guy who likes me a million times more than I introduce myself.

If it were me, I would have a better impression of Uluru Mr./Ms. than I do.

 

"Can I tell you your name?"

 

Let's change our minds and check their names.

 

"This is Gerna from the kingdom of Nirvarna."

"I'm going to see you for the first time! My name is Kate from the Kingdom of Kamherio!"

"Uh, uh, Mr./Ms. kingdom of Dara...... This is Sharun from a nearby farming village. Best regards, please......"

 

A tall man with short-cropped blonde hair is Guerna.

Mr./Ms. is a girl with black hair with a slight blue color.

The woman with black blonde hair in pigtails is Mr./Ms. Sharn.

Mr./Ms. and Kate are the same age as me. Sharn Mr./Ms. is in his mid-twenties, and he is close in age to Olga'Mr./Ms..

 

"I was surprised to see a younger person than I expected, so listen carefully as I explain what you guys need to do."

「……」

"Yes!"

「…… Yes."

 

Well, this is going to be thoughtful.

In particular, Guerna is glaring at me.

For now, let's briefly explain what you should do and what you should be aware of.

I asked Mr./Ms. Uluru to add supplements and teach the main points for ten minutes.

After I finished giving a general explanation, I called out to them to check my understanding.

 

"——— you got it this far?"

"Yes!"

"yes, that's a good answer."

"That's all I had to say!"

 

While I can hear Kate Mr./Ms.'s cheerful voice and Sharn's faint reply Mr./Ms. Sharn, Gerna is giving me an observant look.

They seem to be listening...... I'll try to ask Nea.

Covering his mouth with a troubled gesture, he speaks to Nea in a low voice.

 

"Nea, how is Gerna from your point of view? Suspicious?"

"They look at me suspiciously...... Maybe it has nothing to do with conspiracy or anything."

「?」

"Aren't you just that I don't like you?"

 

…… Is that so?

As I was soberly depressed by Nea's straightforward words, Mr./Ms. tapped me lightly on the shoulder.

 

"Usato-kun, Usato-kun."

"Yes?"

"Now that we've finished our explanations, let's talk a little bit about getting to know each other."

"That's true, then...... Does anyone have any questions?"

"So, then...... Let me ask you a few questions, but ......."

 

When I asked, the first person to raise my hand was Mr./Ms. Sharn.

Inwardly surprised, he accepts her question.

 

"Mr./Ms., what is it?"

"Uh...... How many healing magic people are here?"

"There are only four of us: me, Uluru Mr./Ms.Mr./Ms. the leader who isn't here, and Uluru's brother."

"Four...... So, I heard that the healing wizards of the Rescue Corps go to the battlefield themselves to heal the wounded, but do you expect all four of them to go to the battlefield?"

 

Listen to Mr./Ms.'s questions and respond while summarizing what she is saying.

 

"No, it's just me and the Leader of the Brigade running on the battlefield, and the role of the Uluru Mr./Ms. is to heal the wounded brought here with healing magic, and this is the job that the Sharun Mr./Ms. and the others will do."

"By the way, the color of the clothes of the rescue team has a meaning, and the healing wizards who run on the battlefield, Leader Mr./Ms. and Usato, are dressed in white. I'm outside now, but it's the black clothes that carry the wounded who have fallen on the battlefield to the ash clothes at the base while giving first aid with healing magic."

"I see......

 

Uluru Mr./Ms. explains as if to supplement my words.

Mr./Ms. seemed to be convinced, nodding intently and indulging in thoughts.

 

"Well, then, yes! Usato-sama! Can I ask you an irrelevant question?"

"I don't mind at all, you don't have to put anything else on it."

 

The next person to raise her hand was Mr./Ms., a girl who looked full of energy.

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato! What happened to your relationship with Suzune-sama!?"

"Whew......"

 

He almost bursts out in shock, but he keeps a smile on his face and shakes his hand.

He asks Mr./Ms. for help, but she gives him a hopeful look, wondering if she cares about the answer to this question.

Nea presses her wings to her mouth and holds back a smile.

 

"No, that's a bit of a complicated situation, the article was a mistake."

"What......?"

"I'm sorry, did I disappoint you?"

「…… No! Because it's interesting in its own way!"

 

What is funny?

…… Let's not worry about it too much.

 

"So, what about Mr./Ms. Usato?"

"Does it depend on the content? As you can see, the caricatures and things like that are completely different."

 

Someday I want to preach an hour to the person who drew my likeness.

As for the article, most of the physics-related stuff is true.

 

"I ...... that the healing wizard of the Ringle Kingdom is such a nonchalant person."

 

While I was having such an exchange with Kate, Mr./Ms., Gerna muttered something like that.

His seemingly irreverent attitude caught Mr./Ms. next to him.

 

"Hey, excuse me! Mr. Gerna!"

"You thought so, too, for carrying around that bogus article. Why don't you blind them with healing magic, or beat them with healing magic, or give the healing magic any more weird impression......

"What! It's bogus, but it's not bogus!"

 

Wow! Mr./Ms. waves her arms around to Guerna while screaming mysteriously, but she is easily grabbed by the forehead and stopped.

I'm sure you're from the kingdom of Nirvarna.

If that's the case, it's natural for him to react because I've suffered some kind of reputational damage.

 

"If you're complaining, listen to it now."

「…… Huh?"

"I understand what you mean, Gerna, and I'm sure that rumors about healing magic have spread because of me. So you can say everything you want to say right now."

 

It's not what I want to do, and that's about a dozen of the reasons.

The reason for the rest is to avoid a situation where he will get in trouble when he talks about it in front of Rose.

Somehow, I feel like he's not that strong mentally.

Even now, he seemed to be stronger than angry.

 

「…… Because of you, the reputation of the healing wizard is wrong."

"Yes."

 

He seemed to be struggling with my words, but he spat out the words in a choppy manner as if he had made up his mind.

 

"You can't believe that you used healing magic to attack, throw, or fight a dragon man who almost destroyed a country in the end, ...... I can't believe it when I look at you now......

 

I've been told that I don't have a sense of superiority, but what does I look like in normal times?

I wonder if he looks so pathetic .......

 

"But the rumors are strangely believable, so the guys above got serious and tried to train me as a healing wizard in Nirvarna......"

"By force?"

"No, I volunteered, but there were still three of us."

 

Did the fact that it was a volunteer system mean that at least Gerna wanted to become stronger as a healing wizard......?

 

"At first, I wanted to get stronger with the healing magic that had been ridiculed so far, and the other two were thinking the same thing as me. But what awaited us was a penance in name ...... training!"

「…… What kind of training did you do?"

"I was made to run until I passed out!"

 

I nod at him in a hoarse voice.

 

"And then?"

"And the next day! I was forced to train so much that I didn't do it properly! It's just that it's actually happening in the Ringle Kingdom......!"

 

Run until you pass out, or do you?

As an ordinary healing wizard, it must have been quite painful for him to be forced to run until he passed out.

Even if you're wrong, don't think the same way I do.

 

"Eh, can you forgive me for fainting ......? Hey, Usato. I don't know...... That's the kind of training we do."

 

Nea speaks to him with blank eyes on his shoulder, but he's talking about something important right now, so he'll let it go.

I heard it from Lucas' mouth before. Samariar also tried to train healing wizards like me and Rose, but failed.

Could it be that the same thing is being done in other kingdoms?

 

"The other two healing wizards were also heartbroken, and they escaped after only a few days......

"You stayed, didn't you?"

"I still wanted to believe in it, to prove that healing wizards can be strong, that it's not magic that doesn't exist for no reason......

 

Hearing that, I knew what kind of words he had received as a healing wizard.

He wanted to show his worth as a healing wizard.

That's why he came here.

 

"I came here purely because I wanted to help as a healing wizard, but I also wanted to know if the rumors about you were real ......."

「…… Or was it?"

 

Don't hesitate to reveal your power here.

If I hesitated, then I haven't grown anything since the meeting.

For the time being, all you can see here is a healing magic bullet and a healing punch. If you're not convinced by that, let's do a healing fist or a mock battle.

Determined to do so, he talks to Guerna.

 

"Gerna-ku—"

"Hey, Usato! If you're done saying hello, come and help me! We need Teme's stupid power!"

「……」

 

At this timing, Tongs calls me from outside with a uselessly loud voice.

At the sound of his voice, not only Kate Mr./Ms. and Sharn Mr./Ms., but also Gerna's shoulders shook in surprise.

...... that skinhead bastard.

 

"Hey!"

"Oh, um, are you calling?"

"No, don't worry about it, Mr./Ms., you can think it's the cry of a wild monster."

"Isn't that bad too......?"

 

It would be too shocking to meet those tough-faced people without any explanation.

Even I mistook him for a bandit when I first met him, and I almost cried.

No matter how you look at it, Mr./Ms. is scared, but it's hard not to be scared when you see his tough face.

 

"Mr./Ms. Uluru, please quiet him out right now."

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

 

Tell Tong about the situation and ask Uluru Mr./Ms. to be quiet.

I was relieved and relieved for a short time, but when Uluru Mr./Ms. tried to walk out of the doorway...

 

"Are you listening, Usato, they don't have enough hands to do it...... What's that?"

"Ah, this is the perfect timing again......"

 

At this point, a sea-shaven head came in through the entrance of the tent.

Seeing the strong face of the tongs, Gerna sneered, Sharun Mr./Ms. let out a small scream, and Kate Mr./Ms. said, "Wow!" I don't know if I was surprised or pleased.

I glanced sideways at the reactions of the three of them, and with a smile on my face, I grabbed the collar of the tongs with one hand.

 

"Hey guys, I'm sorry, I've got some business to do, so wait for me."

"Oh, what's all of a sudden?"

"Mr. Tong, let's go outside for a minute."

 

With the tongs in one hand, he walks out of the tent.

A short distance away from the tent, supplies were piled up to a height of about two meters by two meters and a height of about three meters.

This is certainly not possible for one person alone.

Moreover, it seems to be difficult to untie it because it is tied with a rope, probably to prevent it from collapsing. I don't understand the idea of joining forces with me to carry this all at once.

No, it doesn't matter now.

I put my tongs down on the ground and finally broke my smile and my shoulders shook with anger.

 

"Isn't Temeje able to do the job he was told to do satisfactorily? I told you to be quiet......!"

"Did you explain it to me yet...... well, it was bad. Okay, help me out."

「…… Hah, I'll get it done."

 

I lift the supplies piled up to about three meters with both hands with him.

I thought I heard a breathtaking voice behind me, but I didn't look back because I was lifting the supplies.

 

"Nea, is anyone behind you watching over here?"

"Uluru...... No, there's no one, right?"

「…… Mmmm, that's it."

 

I thought my voice was shaking a little, but .......

Well, if she says it, I'm wrong.

Carry the supplies with tongs and lower them to the ground.

He looked up at the large quantity and wiped his forehead as he turned to his tongs.

 

"Is this okay?"

"Oh, I'm glad I did."

"Sure, next time, you'll have to figure out what's going on here......

"It's going to be a rag soon anyway, so it's okay, isn't it? Or rather, look behind you."

"Hmm? …… Ahh

 

I turned around as Tong told me to do, and I saw Guerna and the others peering at me through the open tent entrance.

Could it be that you saw the lifting of supplies from the interaction with the tongs earlier?

As I entered the tent with a delicate air, I was met with a smiling Uluru Mr./Ms. and the gaze of three people.

 

"Oh, I'm sorry, I ...... show you something scary."

 

With a wry smile, Guerna stepped forward, barely looking confused when she said it.

He bowed vigorously, and uttered a familiar voice.

 

"Sorry for being cheeky......! If you want, you can beat me until I feel like ......!"

"You wouldn't do that!?"

"As a member of the Nirvarna Kingdom, I must wear this drop ......!"

 

What world does Nirvarna live in?

In a panic, he manages to get Guerna to look up.

Looking at the other two, Sharun Mr./Ms. surprisingly looks the same as before, but Kate Mr./Ms. has a somewhat knowing expression, "This was true."

When I was relieved that I wasn't scared, Mr./Ms., who still had a big smile on her face, spoke to me.

 

"Usato-kun, I showed you the exchange of tongs with the three of you."

"Oh, was it Mr./Ms. Uluru......?"

 

I was able to confide in Mr./Ms. Uluru without even having to practice healing magic techniques, so I guess this is Uluru's fine play.

…… I'm really glad they didn't scare me when they saw the exchange between me and the tongs.

 

"Thank you, Mr./Ms. Uluru."

"It's okay, thank you, and besides, it would be quicker for him to show you what Usato is capable of."

 

Saying this, she glanced at Guerna and the others before turning to face her.

 

"After all, sometimes force push is also effective!"

 

I couldn't help but laugh at Uluru Mr./Ms. as she confidently said so while clenching her fists, and I was reminded that she is not an ordinary woman, but a strong person who belongs to the rescue team like Rose.

___________________________________________

"And then?" → don't think it will end with a fainting.

"And the next day!" → think it's the next day.

 

The discrepancy in consciousness is terrifying...... isn't it?

 

Here's a brief introduction to the new addition of healing wizards.

 

Gerna: From the kingdom of Nirvarna.

A common healing wizard who longed for strength.

He is mentally weak, but he genuinely wants to save people.

 

Kate: From the Kingdom of Kamherio.

A healing wizard who only cares about being healthy.

 

Sharn: from the kingdom of Mr./Ms. Dara (nearby farming village)

A woman who has healed people as a healing wizard in the village.

I heard that many people would be hurt, and I couldn't help but volunteer.
