After Senpai and Kazuki returned to the castle, the life-saving team members I, Nak, Nea, Ferm, and Amako were in the life-saving team's quarters.
When the sun went down and it was getting dark outside, I had finished my dinner and was sitting on a chair in the dining room, practicing making the elastic magic that Kazuki had shown me.
Even though it is a practice, it is not so exaggerated, but rather a sober one, such as manipulating the density of the magic power floating in the palm.
I was practicing like that with the cooperation of Nea.
"No, you can't do it."
"It's been less than five minutes."
A little while after it started, I was completely ruined.
The magic that envelops my right hand just flickers and shows no sign of changing.
"I mean, it doesn't have to be you, I know from what I've seen a little bit, but Kazuki's magic manipulation isn't something you can learn with practice."
「…… Magical manipulation, huh?"
"In the first place, at the point when you can manipulate the hardness of the formless magic of light, you must be using a different sense of magic than we do."
Previously, Kazuki had said that he would handle magic with natural movements, like handling his hands.
In other words, for Kazuki, the perception of magic is no different from the hand that he usually moves.
It's easy to put into words, but it's not hard to do.
"But," he said, "I can't do it on your own, but I don't know if I can use that gauntlet, can I?"
She pointed to the bracelet on my right arm.
A gauntlet given to me by Farga-sama, which was originally a hero's sword.
"That gauntlet should have the ability to assist magic in addition to its ridiculous hardness, and if you use that ability, it's not impossible to make magic resilient."
"So you can use this gauntlet when you practice?"
"Well, I don't think it's easy."
Does this mean that even if you master this technique, you can only handle resilient magic with your right arm?
「…… No, wait."
「? What's going on?"
How about moving a magic bullet created by a gauntlet through the body?
Previously, when I visited Luqvis for the first time, I had a mock battle with Mr./Ms. Halfa.
At that time, I tried to transfer the magic power from the arms to the legs in order to confirm Mr./Ms.'s magic vision of "anticipating movement with fluctuations of magic power".
At that time, I wasn't particularly conscious of it...... Maybe we can put that technology to use.
"If that's the case, I'll try practicing this too."
"Well, are you going to do something again?" It's just a story about making magic resilient ...... unrealistic."
"No, it's not that hard."
Spread your palms in front of Nea and light up the magic on your index finger.
Seeing this, Nea tilts her head curiously, and shows her how to transfer magic from her index finger to her middle finger via her palm.
"Wow, you're so dexterous."
"I'm going to try to do this as fast and fast as possible, and I think the more I get at this, the more refined the flow of magic will become, and the more efficient my healing magic will be...... Maybe."
He says confidently, and Nea watches curiously as the magic moves from finger to finger.
"When I'm on your shoulder in the form of an owl, I'm doing magic in the same way?"
"Oh, really?"
When I thought about it, it was natural that the principle would be the same, since I was sending magic from Nair through my body to my arms, legs, etc.
"On the contrary, I'm surprised that you have such basics."
「…… Is this the basics?"
"Didn't you know?"
"It's like learning how to handle magic while running......
"Oh, yes......."
No, now that I think about it, I think it's quite a learning method.
In the end, though, thanks to healing magic, he was able to get through the horrific training that I couldn't even describe in words.
"I don't think most wizards train too much, because all they have to do is channel magic into the hands that emit magic from their core...... As far as you're concerned, it might be an effective training."
"You can move magic from your arms to your legs, but in the end, it's better to be able to move it the moment you think about it......
"It doesn't take long for this to happen, and from what I can see, the magic transfer from finger to finger is very smooth."
As he moves his magic from his index finger to his thumb and from his thumb to his little finger, Nea tells him.
"For the time being...... I'm going to practice this 'magic spinning' at the same time."
"Don't pack too many roots, okay? It's kind of like I'm watching to make sure it doesn't happen."
"Are you an untouchable child?"
"It's worse than that, oh, I really can't take my eyes off it."
As my cheeks twitched, Nea sighed and rested her elbows on the table.
He just nodded his head and looked straight into my eyes.
"I'm your familiar, and I'll follow you after the battle is over."
「…… Haha, what if I have to go back to my original world?"
The moment I said it myself, I immediately regretted it.
I haven't found a way to return to my original world, but if I could, it would mean saying goodbye to the people of this world.
She wasn't particularly surprised when she saw me upset after she said it, but instead smiled and pointed her index finger at me.
"I'm bound to follow you, as long as there's the unknown I'm looking for."
It was easy to see that the confident words were not a lie.
That's why I can't help but smile unconsciously, even though I'm distracted.
「…… I think you're really going to follow me."
"I told you I was going to stay with you for the rest of my life."
Certainly, that's what he said when he was forced to sign a familiar.
It's not much, but it feels like a long time has passed since that evil dragon incident.
Remembering a while ago, while I was exchanging such an exchange with Nea, Amako came out of the kitchen.
"It's hard for Usato too, he's possessed by Nea."
"Did you hear that?"
"yes, a little bit."
"Hey, what do you mean it's hard?"
Listening to Nea's voice, Amako put her apron over the table and sat down on the seat across the table.
"Usato, what about Nak and Ferm?"
"Nak went back to his room first, Ferm ......."
"You keep it in your daily diary, because she's pretty good."
I wonder if he still keeps a diary .......
Even though I recommended it, I'm glad that it's still going on.
Well, it's probably written as a complaint about me, but it's still a good thing.
"Well, then, Amako...... Can you tell me a story?"
「…… yes."
What Amako wants to tell me.
I could tell it wasn't something she was in a hurry to do, but judging by the look on her face of concern, it seemed complicated.
"I saw a foreknowledge."
「…… While I'm sleeping?"
"Yes."
Then this expression makes sense.
But apparently that's not the only thing that bothers her right now.
"It wasn't the same as my usual prediction until the halfway point...... It was a little bit different."
"Isn'......?"
As I tilted my head, Amako began to talk about the preknowledge she had seen.
Me and my seniors going on a trip.
The Demon Lord's Realm and the Hero's Past -- and the Sword of the Predecessor Hero.
Also, a mysterious woman who spoke directly to Amako from the scenery she was watching with her clairvoyant magic.
…… As far as the first part of the prophecy goes, I knew what was going to happen.
"Hmm, he's a fox beastman like Amako, and he had a sword, you've never met him, have you?"
"He didn't even give his name, and he disappeared without exchanging a word."
Beastmen, swords, and precognitive magic.
She also resembles Amako's mother, Mr./Ms. Kanoko.
That's all I know.
"Did you tell the people in the castle about the foreknowledge?"
"Yes."
"What about the beastman woman who appeared in the precognitive dream?"
Amako shakes her head at Nea's words.
Well, even if you look at it as part of precognitive magic, the beastman woman is very uncertain.
If you do it poorly, it's possible that the prophecy that Amako saw is itself false.
"That's why I wanted to talk to Usato, because she said something that I didn't understand that she was looking at me through 'him', so maybe that's Usato ......."
"Me? Why me?"
From what I heard, it doesn't sound like I'm involved.
That "he" was looking through something, and I'm sure I had nothing to do with it.
I tilt my head, and Amako awkwardly lowers her gaze at an angle.
"Because it's Usato ......."
"Ah......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, shall we first change the perception that I am always in trouble?"
For some reason, even Nea agreed, so I'll deny it.
"Even if I look like this, I'm from another world, right? The only connection is from when you came to this world, right?"
It's a terrible mess.
Even for me, who has been involved in incidents related to the previous heroes everywhere I go, I don't remember it.
"It's impossible to see anything through me in the first place, and I still believe that someone who can use magic like Falga-sama was watching."
「…… Well, I just said it."
That being said, your suspicious gaze doesn't change, does it?
How much of a mess do they think they are supposed to be?
It's understandable when you think about what you've been through.
"Anyway, based on the content of the prophecy, I'm sure we'll be approached soon, Amako was also in the premonition of traveling, right?"
"yes, but I didn't know the members except Suzune and Kazuki."
…… Is this something to think about?
Perhaps that prediction will soon become a reality, and until then, we can go on as usual.
Let's end the story of prophecy and then talk about tomorrow.
"I'm going to see Mr./Ms. Leona in the castle tomorrow, but will Amako go too?"
"I really want to go, but I have to help out at the shop tomorrow, so ...... if you see Leona Mr./Ms., tell her when you see her."
"Yes, I understand."
Nea is naturally willing to go, so you don't have to ask.
「…… How was Leona, Mr./Ms.? We met on the battlefield, didn't we?"
"It was very reassuring, because if he hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to move. I'm really grateful that they came."
"You didn't spare me on giving me a magic recovery potion."
"After all, is that an expensive one?"
"Yes, many times more than Usato thinks."
I was distracted during the fight, but I want to know the value of that potion.
"In the first place, potions that work just by drinking them are basically expensive, right? In particular, potions that restore magic that can only be restored naturally have a special manufacturing method, and it seems that it is difficult to make Mr./Ms.."
"Is that so......?"
Even though he was in the middle of a battle, he drank such a rare thing.
Thanks to that, I was able to keep moving after that, and I can't thank you enough.
"Anyway, I'm going to say thank you tomorrow."
"Then you should rest early today to prepare for tomorrow, you woke up today, so you're not in good shape, are you?"
Indeed it is.
But before I rested...
"Amako, are you going to stay in the dormitory? If you're going home, I'll take you home, okay?"
"No, I'm going to stay here today."
That means I was here for three days until I woke up.
I was really worried.
Again, I thought about it and continued to talk to him.
"Do you have a place to sleep?"
"Don't worry, I've prepared a futon in Ferm's room, Amako is small, so it doesn't take up much space."
"Hmmm!"
Amako glares at her with a sullen expression, and Nea smiles.
If I don't have to drop Amako home, I'll take a break early.
Nea is right, I just woke up today and I'm not feeling well, so let's get some sleep and get in shape.

Nea is a heroine in a special position.
I feel like I'm sitting in the closest position of familiar, so I don't need to ask for more.
In addition, it seems that there is the biggest enemy in the mascot sense called Kukuru.
