I was able to escape from the ruins safely and return to the village where Mr./Ms. Gref was.

Later, after recovering from my fainting, I parted ways with my seniors who were hiding my identity, assimilated with Ferm, went into demon mode, and returned to the house with Mr./Ms. Gref, Ram and Rose with Nea, Amako, and Kira.

Mr./Ms. Gref and the others were very happy that she was safe.

Mr./Ms. Gref was so relieved that she started crying, and she was embarrassed by warming up Keira, but she was relieved to think that he cared about her that much.

 

"You've taken care of me, Usato."

"You're okay with your leg injury, aren't you?"

"Oh, I never thought I'd be able to walk again."

"Hahaha......"

 

The next day, we said goodbye to each other to continue our journey.

His leg is lightly bandaged as he carries a large bag, but the wound has long healed, so it will not be difficult for him to walk.

 

"Usato, thank you for helping Keira."

"No, she grew up on her own."

"I don't think he thinks so."

 

He smiled and pointed behind him, and there was a very depressed looking Kira.

When Kira realizes that we're done, she runs up to us.

 

"Gref, I'm away because I want to talk to Mr./Ms. and the others."

"Hmm? I don't care if I'm there."

「……」

「…… Ah, yes, yes, I know. Lamb, Rosé, let's go over there for a minute."

"Huh."

 

"I'm about my age," says Mr./Ms. Gref, who distances himself from us.

As she smiles wryly at the situation, Kira approaches her without saying a word.

 

"Me...... Thanks to everyone's Mr./Ms., I was able to understand my magic. Thank you very much."

 

Keira bows her head slightly, and Ferm, who is assimilated with me, speaks in a slightly shy voice.

 

"You've only just awakened as a dark wizard, and you may change as you grow up, so don't be fooled by the changes, right?"

"Yes!"

 

Keira cheerfully responds to Ferm's advice.

You're a teacher.

The teaching style is good, and although it is blunt, it may be suitable for me.

 

"I think we all know the purpose of the journey that the Mr./Ms. is traveling, but I am ...... Everyone wanted to believe in Mr./Ms.."

「……」

"The truth is, I still want to follow Usato Mr./Ms.'s journey, but Gref, Ram and Rose are my precious family...... For now, I'm giving up."

"That's better, because we can't let you get involved in our favor."

「…… Yes."

 

Now that the Demon King has distracted us from our existence, we don't know what will happen.

I can't take Kira with me in such a situation.

 

"Nea, I hope it's not your fault, but did she say 'now'?"

"Yes, I told you."

 

Amako and Nea next to me are talking about something small.

I'm curious, so I try to ask what they're talking about, but before I can do that, Keira talks to me.

 

"Where is the country where Mr./Ms. Usato-san is?"

 

It's abrupt.

Well, I don't have anything to hide now, so I'll be honest.

 

"It's called the Ringle Kingdom, and I'm the deputy leader of an organization called the Life Rescue Team there."

"Rescue team?"

"Running around to help the hurt...... I think it's a group. Well, it's the kind of place where you train all the time."

"Is that so?"

 

Briefly describe the lifeguard.

After a few seconds of silence, Kira looks up and turns her gaze to Amako and Nea.

 

"Amako Mr./Ms., Nea Mr./Ms....... Mr./Ms. Ferm is there, too?"

"No, it's not Amako, it's in--"

"No, I'm not in."

"Yes, I'm not in either."

"No, I'm not in."

 

What's going on with you guys?

When I turned my eyes in confusion, Amako and Nea, who seemed to be impatient for some reason, were looking at me to tell me something.

What? Don't they want us to be treated as members?

Surely?????? Do you think Kira is coming to the Ringle Kingdom? As expected, the road is dangerous, and above all, you can't come alone.

Confused by the incomprehensible phrase, Kira giggled and gave a small laugh.

 

"That's a lie."

"Oh, yes, Nea and Ferm are part of the rescue team."

"Wait......"

"Yes, thank you for letting me know."

 

I think it's polite to Keira who says thank you.

I thought about it when I was Nak, but when I was my age, it wasn't so decent.

 

"Then I'll call Gref and the others."

 

As she said this, a cloak made of black magic flew out from the shadows at Keira's feet and draped over her shoulders.

She floated softly as it was, and proceeded smoothly through the sky.

 

"It's amazing magic to be able to fly......

"You were flying too."

"No, it's not flying, it's just blowing."

 

Well, I was kind of floating in a magical outburst.

When fighting Mr./Ms. and her men, it felt like they were swinging rather than flying.

Seeing Kira disappear, Nair mutters in a slightly subdued voice.

 

「…… I'm going to knock on the gates of hell again."

"Are all dark wizards such troublesome people?"

"It's convincing when Ferm says it......

『…… It's noisy.'

 

The best part is that they seem to be getting along without me knowing.

 

"By the way, do you mean the Gates of Hell for the Life Rescue Team?"

「「『……』」」

 

The impact from the inside of the clothes and the shin attack by two legs.

It's not painful or itchy, but it's a good partnership.

But why was it kicked?

 

●

 

I had to part ways with Mr./Ms. Gref in the village where I am now.

Keira is brighter than she was a few days ago when we first met, and I'm glad that she was able to face herself and her dark magic again.

 

"I would like to help you on your journey to defeat the Demon King."

 

These are the words that Mr./Ms. Nagi said to us last night as we left the ruins.

A person who ran on the battlefield with the heroes of the previous generation.

You can see that his ability is not half-baked.

No one would voice their opposition to her offer of cooperation, and she decided to accompany us on our journey to defeat the Demon King.

 

"Eh, did the previous hero have a child with his wife Mr./Ms.!?"

"I heard that he was there before he was summoned, and he was like a father figure to me......

 

We left at a different time with Mr./Ms. Gref.

As he walks towards Nejo, where the Demon King will be waiting, he suddenly hears a conversation between his senpai and Mr./Ms. Nagi.

 

"So, the previous hero was summoned to another world, leaving his wife Mr./Ms.and child behind......

「……」

"Hmm?"

「…… Yes that's right. I think that's what it's going to be."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who reacts a little late, looks at her suspiciously.

Perhaps sensing that it was something she shouldn't touch on too much, she immediately talked to Mr./Ms. Nagi to change the subject.

 

"With you joining us...... In terms of strength, does that mean that there are now five people who can use the armor of the Brave?"

"It will be...... I wonder? But the sword I have has already used up enough space to seal it, so it's just a sharp sword."

"Your combat power alone is more than enough."

 

Certainly.

I haven't heard if he can use magic or anything like that yet, so I don't know, but when he can use precognitive magic and swordsmanship, he's a pretty good force.

However, Mr./Ms. Nagi still only smiles wryly.

 

"The Demon King is already distracted by your presence, so you can't make too many big moves."

"I can't help it if you notice me, I don't believe what you say, but you're waiting for us, and we'll take it."

"Suzune is positive."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who smiled at her senior, noticed me and spoke to me.

 

"Usato, are you okay?"

"Yes, I've got some sleep, so I'm fine, is there anything wrong with Mr./Ms. Nagi? Nea said you did a pretty crazy thing by fusing souls?"

「…… To be honest, I think there's still some confusion in my head."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi stares at her hands.

It's like two consciousnesses united, and it's complicated in a way that I can't even imagine.

 

"I think your current state is a fusion of good and evil, right?"

 

Isn't it too easy to summarize?

In the example of a senior, he has a subtle expression.

No, it's easy to understand as an expression.

 

"Well, I can't say it's good or evil, but it's not wrong to describe it. It's a bit confusing to put it into words."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi laughs like she is in trouble.

The seniors who saw her became stunned.

 

"Kannagi, can I call you Nagi like Usato-kun?"

"Well, I don't mind that--...... No, I can't."

"What?"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who was about to reply willingly, changed in an instant.

She quickly returned to herself and put her hands on her senpai apologetically.

 

"I'm sorry, but it seems that the other private person is no one but Usato."

「…… Usato-kun."

"Don't glare at me."

"Gurururu! Wong!"

"Don't bark......"

 

It's a comedy. Did you like it?

But why is it just me?

While wondering this, Mr./Ms. Nagi, who was comforting a depressed senior, smiled wryly.

 

"I've only ever been the only one who called me that, so I guess that's part of what it means. I don't know how you feel about it."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi's expression looked somewhat sad when she said that.

However, on the other hand, the senior next to him seems to remember something, and approaches Mr./Ms. Nagi with a grin.

 

"What? Suzune"

"Speaking of which, Kannagi, I'll make amends for the grudges of that parallel world with your tail and ears...... Whew!"

"Well, it's understandable considering the way I've treated you...... What are you going to do?"

"Of course, that's something you can't say!"

"Wow! Stop!?"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi avoids the seniors who jump on him.

What on earth did the seniors do? He's selfish as usual, but he looks a little angry.

 

"Well, I can't help but be angry with my seniors."

"Do you know Kazuki?"

 

Seeing the exchange between Mr./Ms. Nagi and Senpai, he tries to talk to Kazuki, who mutters so.

 

「…… As a matter of fact. Senpai and I are in Kannagi--"

 

Kazuki then explains the ordeal given to him by Kannagi before he fused with Mr./Ms. Nagi.

It was my story in a parallel world.

A future where Senpai and Kazuki were killed by the Black Knight and went on as it was.

It seems that I had become the kind of person who would use every means possible to get my hands on the enemy.

It seems that Kazuki and Senpai fought to the death against me.

 

"What if I'm in the world?"

"It was a tough fight, because Usato over there was also fighting in a ridiculous way."

"What, exactly?"

"Even if I got my arms, I was sticking them together."

"It's a pimp."

 

No, I wouldn't do that.

Eh, or rather, something happened that could be taken off?

 

"I didn't think I really should talk about it, but I was ...... I thought I had to tell you."

"That's ......."

 

The death of someone close to you.

As a result, I have changed.

Honestly, I can understand why I would be like that when I hear Kazuki's story.

 

"Did I change properly?"

「…… Oh, because I hit him and made him mad. I'm fine."

"Then you can rest assured."

 

For me over there, Kazuki's fist would have hurt more than any injury.

…… From now on, we will head to the central zone of the Demon Lord's Domain, where the Demon King is waiting.

To be honest, I was also worried about witnessing the presence of the Demon King and its power.

 

"Humans and demons......

 

Mr./Ms. Gref and the others were good people who were just living a normal life.

The other demon tribes, as well as the demon tribes they are fighting, are fighting for their own survival.

I'm ready to fight the Demon Lord.

However, I must act with an understanding of the possibilities beyond our mission.
