After meeting with the reinforcement healing wizards, Gerna, Kate, Mr./Ms. Sharn Mr./Ms., I decided to help them with their work.

After that, I helped build a fort to protect the base. I was a little impressed by the surprising reaction of the soldiers around me when they saw me and the tough men carrying the wood.

Then, when the sun went down, Rose returned to the base of the rescue team's activities and decided to meet with Gerna and the others.

As for the reaction, Rose gave off an overwhelming carnivore aura just by being there, and all three of them, including Mr./Ms., had a tense expression.

No matter how you look at it, he can't help it because he's giving off an air of being a scary person...... but I thought it was really good that he was releasing it proudly instead of suppressing it.

Later, I was told by Rose, who had gone to the base's headquarters.

 

"You have confirmed the advance of the Demon King's army?"

 

I muttered softly as I stared at the fire burning in the firewood stacked like a campfire.

What I heard from Rose was about how the Demon Lord's army is currently behaving.

The Demon King's army has already passed through the place where the scout has been reported to have arrived, and is steadily moving towards us.

It was also a march with a large number of demons.

 

"Gu"

「…… Oh, it's okay. Bulllin"

 

After dinner, I sat on the linen-covered ground polishing my new armor, and Bullin, who was curled up beside me, looked up worriedly.

I smile at him and pat him on the head.

Guerna is with Olga Mr./Ms., Kate Mr./Ms., and Sharn Mr./Ms. are with Uluru, Nea, and Ferm Mr./Ms. getting to know each other.

If it were true, I should go to Gerna, but I wanted to think about it by myself for a while, so now I am indulging in my thoughts in front of the bonfire.

 

"It's reassuring to have you here."

"Hun-so."

"I'm so proud."

 

In the first battle with the Demon Lord's army, I made him stay away, but this time it was different.

Just like when you fought that evil dragon, you will have your back as a trusted companion. I have no worries about that. This is because he has a strong heart that will never give in to the opponent he decides to fight.

He snorts confidently and smiles naturally as he continues to speak.

 

"Are you scared?"

"Gua!"

"I thought you were going to look like that, hahaha, don't be angry because you're joking."

 

He smiles wryly at Bulllin, who has a sullen face.

I muttered to myself as I saw the flickering red and orange fire burning in my field of vision.

 

"I am...... It's scary."

 

When I murmur that, emotions overflow in my chest like an uncorked balloon.

 

"I'm scared to fight, I'm scared to be in danger, but the best thing is to be reminded of my powerlessness...... I'm scared."

"Gua ......"

「…… Haha, don't worry. I'm fine."

 

He pats the head of Bulllin, who looks up at him worriedly.

Did I let out a little bit of a weak sound?

 

"Well, don't talk all the time, move your hands?"

"Gua"

 

He moved his hand that had been stopped and moved back to polishing Bulllin's armor.

Listening to the sound of bursting flames and the lively voices of soldiers in the distance, I immersed myself in my work.

 

●

 

As the night wore on, I finally finished polishing my Bulllin gear and inspected it, so I straightened up.

It took a little time, but it was a good time to gather my thoughts.

He looked at Bulllin, who was dazed as he chewed on his lack, and then tried to clean up his messy armor.

 

"Damn it."

「……!」

 

I was suddenly deprived of my vision by the hand of Inugami Senpai who approached from behind.

　……。

It's ...... to think that the signs of knowing are approaching.

With my vision in total darkness, I didn't care and started to clean up Bulllin's armor.

 

"Ignore!?"

"Senior, please turn off the sound of footsteps."

"What's more, it was ruined!?"

 

Surprised, the senior moves in front of me.

I feel a little relieved that my seniors are the same as they were a few days ago.

 

"She's a beautiful girl!?"

"Finally, the subject is missing."

 

I know what you want to say by pointing at yourself, but if you're not a senior, it's a pretty strange statement.

…… No, even if you're a senior, it's pretty strange at this point.

 

"Why are you taking off the template like that?"

"If you're a senior, I don't ...... mind."

 

When I said that, the senior grabbed my shoulder frantically.

 

"What if Ava did the same thing as me?!"

"Eh, that's usually shy, isn't it?"

"The difference in treatment--!?"

 

He smiles wryly at his senior, who shouted at him with his hands on the ground on his knees.

It's no secret that when my eyes were covered, I was quite upset inside.

When I tried to talk to my senior, Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana walked up from behind me with a wry smile.

 

"The interaction between Usato and Suzune is kind of interesting to watch......"

"Senpai, don't take it all off. It looks like you've arrived here safely."

"yes, Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana seem to be doing well, and so are the seniors."

 

When she looked at her seniors and said so, her expression brightened up with a momentum that seemed to make an onomatopoeia.

No, I was the one who made fun of him, but his emotions go up and down ...... a lot.

As I was thinking about this, the senior who changed the target from me to Bulllyn was leaning towards him.

 

"Bulllyn, you're here too! Let me stroke it!"

"Grrrrr

 

She smiled belligerently at Bullin, who instantly brushed off her senior's outstretched hand.

 

"Huh, I'm going to do it!"

"I think you can be petted if you go into Thunder Beast mode......"

"That doesn't make sense, Usato-kun, I want a situation where Bullin will let me stroke him voluntarily...... Whew!"

 

At the very least, I feel like I can't do it with my desires exposed, .......

From the senior and Bulllyn who are glaring at each other, he turns to Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana.

 

"Have you seen Usato's since before the meeting?"

"Yes, and Mr./Ms. Flana is also here...... Are you going to join the fight?"

 

Even though they are elves, is it okay for them to participate in the conflict between humans and demons?

She shook her head firmly at the question.

 

"yes, this is my choice, so I decided to fight for Kazuki. Besides, Kazuki is reckless, so you have to keep a close eye on him!"

"Am I ...... child?"

"By the way, let me tell you that it is also a request of the princess personally."

"Wow, from Celia...... too."

 

You love me, Kazuki.

I stand up with a wry smile on my face when my senior shows me a smug face that says, "Look, it's just as I said."

It's really bad to talk while standing, so let's get a place to sit anyway.

While laying the linen cloth that is gathered nearby on the ground, I call out to the seniors.

 

"Why did you come here, do you want to sit down and talk? If it's okay in a place like this......

"It doesn't matter at all, we're just going to rest after this. Kazuki-kun and Furana don't mind, do they?"

"Absolutely."

"Yes."

 

When the three people who were standing sat down, I decided to ask them what was on their minds.

 

"Senpai is listening...... Right. The Demon King's Army."

"Oh, I guess it's only a matter of time before I get here. The battle is imminent."

 

I frowned at the words of my senior who turned to me.

If it was a similar battle like the last time, Rose could go destroy it when she built a bridge over the river, but she herself objected.

The Demon King's army couldn't leave their previous mistakes as they were, and above all, this time there was a flying enemy called the Flying Dragon, so they decided that it would be difficult to go and destroy the bridge.

…… Besides, Rose seemed convinced that she would never be able to break the bridge.

 

"I think we've done what we've got to do...... You can't command an army like Sigurd."

"What have you been up to today, Kazuki?"

After all, it's not easy to rally four armies, so I first understood the chain of command and how to fight."

 

I didn't know everything just from the previous exchange games.

Unlike me, who runs on the battlefield on my own, my seniors go to battle with their fellow soldiers, so cooperation is more important than anything else.

 

"And more...... I've also met with the commanders of the various kingdoms."

"Speaking of commanders, Mr./Ms. Hyde from the Kingdom of Nirvarna?"

"Ah, Kamherio, Samarian is a warrior chief because he has little experience as a commander...... Hyde was to lead the front line...... Sigurd was to take overall command."

 

Mr./Ms. Hyde, the warrior leader of the Nirvarna Kingdom Warriors, who taught me various things in the magical city of Luxvis.

If Mr./Ms. Hyde is here, I can't help but be counted on.

Just as he was relieved to be here, the senior spoke up this time.

 

"Usato, Sigurd has given you a big explanation about the rescue team."

"Oh, really? …… By the way, what kind of explanation do you have?"

"If you encounter someone dressed in white or black on the battlefield, entrust them with the wounded who are unable to move, and if they are in danger, go to their aid with all your might...... Because."

"I see......

 

I don't want to be in a situation like I was in the second half, but in the first battle, I was helped by a knight in a dangerous place. It really helped me at that time.

Also, I'm very grateful that people know about us beforehand.

The main thing is to find the injured on your own, but if the person who sees us asks for help, we can go to help faster.

 

"I heard that Usato-kun has increased the number of healing wizards......"

"Yes, I've just met with the three healing wizards who came as reinforcements during the day."

 

When I answered the senior's question, Mr./Ms. Flana spoke to me in a calm manner.

 

"Well, ...... a healing wizard other than Usato, you don't hit or move very fast, do you?"

"Hahaha, they're all general healing wizards, and it's more rare to find a healing wizard like me and the leader."

"Oh, yes! There aren't many healing wizards like Usato and Mr./Ms., the leader of the Rescue Team!"

 

It's not that there aren't many, it's that I've never seen anything other than Rose.

No, did Rose start in the first place? When you think about it, he's really terrifying.

 

"Three, what kind of people were they?"

"Well, if I explain them one by one—"

 

Guerna and Kate introduce Mr./Ms. them, thinking of Mr./Ms. Sharn.

I've only known him for a short time, but I know his personality.

 

"I'm glad they came in and seemed to fit in well with the rescue team."

"Yes, ...... honestly, I was a little nervous...... I'm relieved."

 

He nods obediently at Kazuki's words.

Then, when the senior heard my introduction, he put his hand to his chin as if he was thinking.

 

"It's a little bit, but I'm curious about a kid named Kate from Calmherio."

"Why do you think so?"

"No, I don't have a reason for this, but I have a bad feeling ...... it, and I wonder if I'm overreacting to the word calmerio."

「……」

 

Remembering how Kate Mr./Ms. was during the day, she fell silent.

…… Let's talk about it before the senior gets seriously injured.

 

"It's Mr./Ms., but it might be better not to meet your seniors."

"Why?"

"She's ...... A complete version of the article in Kamherio...... I brought it here."

"Huh......!?"

 

A senior who collapses as if he is sitting down.

I knew it was going to happen somehow, so I immediately put it on her shoulders.

 

"Eh, is that serious?"

"Seriously, I denied the rumors and articles, but Mr./Ms. Kate is a strong person, so I thought I'd tell you about it."

 

At the point when the confession in public eyes is written in an article and it is known to Mr./Ms., the seniors must be quite embarrassed.

Also, what I felt when I heard Kate's story was Mr./Ms., but I would like to say this as well.

 

"This is just speculation...... Maybe Mr./Ms. Kate was watching her senior turn down Prince Kyle's confession on the spot."

「…… Huh!? …… Huh!?"

 

I feel like there was a lot of enthusiasm in the story.

The way Kate Mr./Ms. mentioned the name of her senior was like meeting someone I admired, or an entertainer in my world.

I had him correct me right away because he was trying to figure me out, but it was the same at that time.

 

"Hey, Kazuki, Suzune is lying there writhing in shame, is ...... okay?"

"I'm sure it'll be fine...... yes, I wish my seniors could reopen it too."

 

A senior who is groaning while turning red in the face.

Little about the scene where Prince Kyle refuses to confess...... I mean, I don't know anything about it, but I guess I said something quite embarrassing.

Otherwise, I wouldn't react like this.

 

"Senior, by the way...... What did you do with the big story?"

"I can't tell Usato never! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've completely forgotten ......."

"Yes......."

 

While hugging Bulllin, who always refuses to be stroked, the senior is writhing in shame earnestly.

Looking at such a senior, I was scared to find out what she had done with Calmherio.

 

"If you find out about this, I'll have to make up my mind ......!"

"Excuse me, is that a curse or something?"

 

Do you make your seniors make up their minds just by knowing about it?

Or rather, what are you prepared for? In some cases, it ...... more terrifying than the curse of Samaria.
