The day after waking up from fainting.

Early in the morning, after dropping Amako home, she and Nea were on their way to the castle.

I've let Senpai and Kazuki know in advance that I'm heading to the castle, so I don't think I can't get in, but the situation is the situation, so if it gets in the way, I'll leave before I cause trouble.

 

"I wonder if there is Mr./Ms. Alc ......."

"I don't know, maybe I'm still on the battlefield."

 

When you reach the castle gate, you will find the knights guarding Mr./Ms., and among them you will find a familiar red-haired man.

When he noticed us approaching the castle gate, he smiled and waved at us.

 

"Usato-dono!"

"Mr./Ms. Alc!"

 

He runs up to him and checks on Mr./Ms.'s safety nearby.

He had bandages on his head and arms, but other than that, he didn't appear to be injured.

Maybe he came back here with a bit of an injury.

When I hold out my hand with healing magic, he responds with a wry smile.

 

"Thank you."

"No, I'm glad Mr./Ms. Alc is safe."

"Lord Usato, you seem to be in good health, I heard that you woke up yesterday, right?"

 

Did you hear it from your seniors and Kazuki?

Nodding at Mr./Ms.'s words, Nea, who was in the owl state, shrugged her shoulders in dismay.

 

"Yesterday, finally, you slept all the time with a dazed face, didn't you? I don't know how worried I was when I suddenly collapsed on ...... battlefield."

"Hahaha, you've done so much, and you can't help getting tired."

"It's a matter of how you fall, because it's really bad for your heart to fall down with the whites of your eyes without warning......."

"What, did I fall like that?"

 

I remembered that I had collapsed, but did I faint in such a spectacular way?

It was like my eyes went black without warning, so I didn't even think about how people around me looked at me.

 

"The people around him were already panicking, and all the knights present carried Usato to the base where Uluru and the others were, and he looked like he had done it, and he was just falling asleep."

"I was there at the time, and it was amazing, because there were a lot of people rushing to it, including Kazuki-dono-den and Suzune-dono."

 

I just fainted, and I didn't think I was going to worry about so many things.

No, it's my fault that I fell in a confusing way.

 

"When did Mr./Ms. Arc come back here?"

"Yesterday, many of the knights were injured and unable to move, and the strength here was short, so only the knights who could move, including me, came back here."

"Is that so...... if someone is injured, let's heal it?"

 

When I suggested that, Mr./Ms. shook her head.

 

"No, I can't make you go through that much trouble, everyone in the rescue team has already been treated Mr./Ms.on the battlefield, and Lord Usato, isn't he?"

"Speaking of getting sick, I'm getting sick......

 

In the morning, I ran around with Nack and Ferm as much as I could in the morning training.

With a subtle expression on my face, Mr./Ms. Arc continued to speak.

 

"Don't be too hard, then, for perhaps your heart is weaker than you think. Take this opportunity to get enough rest and rest your body and mind."

 

I wasn't aware of that, but if Mr./Ms. Alc, who has traveled with me, says it's true.

Nodding at Mr./Ms.'s words, he turns his gaze to Nea on my shoulder and speaks.

 

"Nea, I'm going to ask you about Lord Usato, okay?"

"Yes, leave it to me."

 

At Mr./Ms.'s words, Nea nods with a confident expression.

…… Hmm? Mr./Ms. Alc. Why does Nea treat me like ...... protector?

 

"Well, I think it's time for me to get back to work."

"I'm sorry to disturb you."

"No, I'm rather glad to see you again."

 

After exchanging a couple of words, they were about to part ways when two figures appeared from the direction of the castle.

 

"Hey! Usato!"

"With Kazuki...... Mr./Ms. Frana? She's back here, too."

 

Apparently one of the guards had told me about it, or they had come to pick me up.

After bowing Mr./Ms.Mr./Ms. Alc and all the guards nearby, he joins them and walks into the castle.

 

"It's been a long time since we met on the battlefield, and I'm grateful for your help then."

"I'm glad you're doing well."

 

The battle with the Third Corps Commander was different from the other Legion Commanders......

But I'm really glad that I was able to neutralize the Third Corps Commander.

If he had ignored me and flown away, he wouldn't have been able to chase me.

 

"Kazuki, where are you going now?"

"It's in the direction of the training grounds, because Mr./Ms. is there now."

"...... a training ground, by the way, what about your seniors?"

 

He notices that he can't see his senpai, so he asks Kazuki.

 

"Ah, it seems that today we are going to summarize the information about the enemy that we got from that war, and we will pick up Usato before that."

"That's right......

 

So, will I be able to talk about reporting to you?

At that time, I think Alfie Mr./Ms. will probably be in charge.

 

"Hmm."

"Hmm? Mr./Ms. Frana, what's wrong?"

 

I tilt my head at Mr./Ms. who is watching me from next to Kazuki.

Did it have something on your face?

 

「…… Usato has a completely different vibe in battle than in normal times."

"Well, that's it...... I'm aware of it. Or rather, I've become more aware of it recently."

 

If you stay out of focus forever, Amako will be angry with you......

However, no matter what people say, I am still a human being.

No matter what anyone says, I will never give in to that.

 

"Certainly, when it's time for a fight, Usato's more reliable, yes."

"Sometimes Kazuki's purity scares me......"

"I know you're reliable, but I don't know that your words and actions are insane."

 

Mr./Ms. Nea and Furana react slightly to Kazuki, who is nodding.

As for me, I'm happy to be told that I can count on you, but I'm a little itchy.

 

"But from the point of view of the opponent you're fighting, Usato must be very scary."

"Is that so?"

"In fact, the Third Corps commander who captured him, albeit temporarily, and the way his men were frightened were not normal.

"That's what I want to know, ...... really."

 

I know he was confused because his illusion magic didn't work, but he suddenly tried to stick a knife in his leg, and suddenly started apologizing when he didn't do anything.

At the end of the day, what's going on with the demonic treatment?

Why should my staple food be made into a soul?

Well, I have a general idea of the causes.

 

"Later, I'll ask Ferm and Nea in the dormitory...... I'm sure you know what you've done, right?"

"Huh!?"

 

In order not to mix in the conversation, he smiles at Nea, who has turned into a silent owl.

I had forgotten about it because I was stunned, but I had to ask it carefully.

As she turned her face blue, she suddenly remembered Amako's prophecy.

 

「……」

 

Speaking of which, I wonder if Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana have heard about Amako's prediction?

…… No, I don't think we should talk about it here.

I don't know where the eyes are, and maybe Lloyd hasn't told me about the foreknowledge in the first place.

If you're going to confuse them, it's better not to say them.

 

"Usato, what's wrong?"

「…… No, it's nothing."

「? Well, if you don't have any, that's fine...... It's time for a training ground."

 

When I turn to the sound of Kazuki's voice, I can see the training ground of the castle, which I also use all the time.

In that place, he finds a woman wielding a spear.

 

"Whew!"

 

It's Mr./Ms., a woman with beautiful golden hair tied back in a bun.

She held the spear, which was the armor of a brave man, and she slashed, slashed, and thrust, and carried it out in a flowing manner without any disturbance.

The movement was more sophisticated than when they joined hands with Miarak, and Mr./Ms. Flana let out a slightly buoyant voice.

 

"Mr./Ms. is a cool person, I might admire her a little."

 

I understand that feeling very well.

It was really cool when he came to fight Barginak.

When they reached the vicinity of the training ground, Kazuki stopped in his tracks and turned to face him.

 

"Okay, we'll go to report."

"Yes, thank you so much, Kazuki."

 

…… Oh I got it.

Before I break up with Kazuki here, I need to ask him if he can teach me how to make my magic more resilient.

 

"Right now, I'm thinking about whether I can make my magic as resilient as Kazuki, can you tell me if you have any tips? Of course, if you have time, that's fine."

"Usato is resilient to magic? …… I see, I don't care at all!"

 

I thank Kazuki again for smiling and nodding.

If you can tell me none other than Kazuki, it's a gold rod for a demon, yes.

 

"If it's time, how about this afternoon?"

"yes, I'll be fine with that time."

「…… It's not that I'm okay, it's just basic training."

 

Nea muttered in a low voice, and nodded as she poked Zuboshi.

 

"So, we're going to meet at the training ground in the afternoon, and then we'll see you then, Usato! Nea! See you soon!"

"yes, see you soon, Kazuki."

"Thank you for the guidance."

 

After briefly discussing the training schedule, Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana parted ways and Nea and I walked straight towards the training ground.

At the training ground, there is Leona Mr./Ms. who is still wielding a spear, but I can't interfere with the training, so I decide to wait at the edge of the training ground until it is over.

 

"I've fought people with spears...... Mr./Ms.'s spear movement feels different."

 

It's kind of like the core of the offense is running through it.

Even though he is just repeating the thrusting, slashing, and brushing, there is no stagnation in his movements.

 

"If you stick to the basics of spear jutsu, you don't need any other techniques...... I've heard that before."

"Eh, from whom?"

"I wielded it about a hundred years ago, from some spear wielder."

"You're ......."

"To be honest, I didn't really understand what I was saying, so I let it go right away."

 

- I can't help but sigh at Nea, who is so open.

While we were exchanging such exchanges, Mr./Ms. Leona, who was training with a spear, noticed us.

 

"Woo, Usato!? Hey, what did you say?!"

"Is that surprising......?"

 

Mr./Ms. changes her dignified expression to a surprised expression.

She walked up to me, upset, and gave me a troubled smile.

 

"You're a bad person, too, and if you are, I wish you could talk to me."

"No, I didn't want to disturb you, ...... can we talk now?"

"Of course, I had something I wanted to talk to you about."

 

Mr./Ms. Leona turned the spear in her hand into a pendant with light.

For the time being, I sat down in a nearby field to talk calmly.

 

"Nea, I'm glad you're doing well."

"You're more like a hero than you used to be."

"Oh, is that so?"

 

At Nea's words, Mr./Ms. Leona looks a little embarrassed.

…… I need to say thank you now.

 

"Mr./Ms., thank you again for coming to your rescue."

"I can't thank you, and as I said in battle, I'm here to repay you. In fact, I still can't give it back."

"But—"

"But."

 

Mr./Ms. Leona interrupted me and held up her index finger.

 

"Considering your personality, that doesn't seem to make sense, so why don't you call me a son-in-law?" I'm the one who was saved by you."

"That's a bit of a cunning way to say it......"

 

She laughed funny when she saw me in the face.

After all, can you tell by your face? Hmmm, you read my thoughts.

 

"Hehe, I'm glad to see your age-appropriate reaction."

"Yes......."

 

It's as if I'm not appropriate for my age, ...... a way of saying it.

Slightly embarrassed, she looked away and the Nea on her shoulder nodded in agreement with Mr./Ms..

 

"It takes a lot of work to think you're a kid because of what you usually do, but you're seventeen years old, aren't you?"

"It's convincing when you say it, when you're about 300 years old."

"Huh, by vampire standards, I'm the same age as you."

「…… Huh?"

 

It's the first time I've heard of it.

No, it's just that the standards don't change the fact that you're older than me, but vampires have that kind of lifespan.

Surprised by the fact that I hadn't paid attention to it before, I regained my composure and turned to Leona Mr./Ms. again.

 

"Mr./Ms. Leona will return to the Ringle Kingdom after the battle is over?"

"Ah, before we go to battle, Falga-sama ordered us to stay in the Lingle Kingdom."

"I see......

 

Based on the current situation in Miarak, Leona Mr./Ms. assumed that she had to leave immediately, but maybe Farga had some idea and ordered it to happen.

 

"Right now, I'm in talks with the Norns, Farga, and the King of the Lingle Kingdom, Lloyd, via Hoobard."

"When you say talks, are you talking about post-war measures?"

"I haven't been told what it is, but it seems to be a little different."

 

Maybe it's a discussion about Amako's journey to defeat the Demon Lord.

That would explain why they are having discussions with Farga-sama, who is a secret being.

 

"You seem to have a general idea."

「…… Excuse me. I'm ...... now."

"I know, to avoid unnecessary confusion, right?"

 

Am I really going to show up in my face?

Mr./Ms. shifts her gaze from me tilting my head while touching her cheek to the training ground.

 

"It's after the fight, but I can't calm down......

"Well, maybe it's because somewhere in my heart I don't think I should be safe."

 

He nods in agreement with her, letting the magic float in his palm.

I thought that the turmoil was not over yet, and that is why I was trying to learn skills that could compensate for my weaknesses.

Mr./Ms. asks if she is interested in the magic in her palm.

 

"Usato, what is it? It doesn't seem to be the same as the one that explodes the system reinforcement that I was talking about before."

"Oh, this is—"

 

Explain that you are practicing to make your magic resilient.

When Leona heard this, Mr./Ms. reacted somewhat frightened.

 

"Well, I ...... you're about to grow in a strange direction again, and this time I'm relieved that you're in a direction that isn't dangerous......

"Hahaha......"

"It's a technique that can only be done with amorphous magical power, which is different from attributes like fire and lightning. Although it is impossible to do due to the nature of my magic...... It's interesting."

 

Mr./Ms. murmurs as she puts her fingers to her chin.

 

"Is that possible?"

"If you use the Falga-sama gauntlet, you won't know if you can do it until you try it."

 

Even if it's impossible, if you can grasp something, that's fine.

Frankly, even if it's not as hard as elasticity, it can be used as a healing glove for your hands.

 

"And next time, Kazuki...... Heroes who can make magic resilient can watch the training."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, I'm going to do it this afternoon."

 

I'm sure my seniors will come as well, so I'm looking forward to it even without training.

Mr./Ms., who had been listening to the training and seemed to be pondering, looked up.

 

"Would I mind if I participated in that training?"

「…… What!?"

 

I was surprised by the sudden offer.

Seeing me surprised, she looks a little worried.

 

「…… I'm sorry. If it's a nuisance—"

"No, no! It's an offer you couldn't have hoped for! But...... Is it good? Leona: Mr./Ms.'...... busy, aren't you?"

"No, I can't interfere in the meetings of other countries because of my position, and I have a lot of time left until the next order comes from the Farga and Norns."

 

If that's the case, .......

 

"So, Mr./Ms. Leona is also participating in the afternoon training."

"I don't know if I can help you, but I'll do my best to help you."

 

But training with three brave men is a luxury for me.

I have to do my best to get something out of it today so that I don't get disappointed by the three of them.

 

"Well, what about the Ringle Kingdom?"

"It's my first time here, but I think it's a good place, because it's surrounded by trees, unlike Mealak...... It's a place to calm down."

 

Miarak is a city surrounded by lakes, so everything looks different compared to the Kingdom of Lingle. …… Is there still time until the afternoon?

 

"There's still time, so why don't we show you around the city? I'd like to see Amako too."

"Well, are you sure?"

"I've been shown around Mealak before, and I'm giving it back."

"If that's the case, I'll let you indulge in your kindness."

 

I stood up and started walking towards the castle gate.

Even though it was because of the war, he came to the Ringle Kingdom.

Let's let them know the good things about this place as much as possible.

 

"First of all, the good thing about this place is that you wouldn't be surprised if I ran with a bulllin on my back."

「…… The people of the Lingle Kingdom are strong."

"You're used to it, and I think you're probably more intelligent than the rest of the world, aren't you?"

 

Hmm? Is it different from the reaction I expected?

Mr./Ms. looked a little withdrawn, and while tilting her head, we went out into the city.

_______________________________________

If you think about it, it's quite a luxury (?) to have three heroes watch the training. Right.

 

This is the end of this update.
