Mr./Ms. Nagi's personal training began shortly after.

In the first place, it seems that there is no time to relax because it is close to the city where the Demon King is located, so she completely changed her usual gentle impression and strictly instructed her senpai and Kazuki.

 

"Kazuki, use your skills more flexibly! Don't hold back! Come on!"

"Ha, yes!!"

 

While handling Kazuki's magic bullets with plenty of time to spare, Kannagi sheaths off his senpai's sword.

 

"Suzune, you should watch and learn my skills!" If you can't do it, show it to your body!"

"Where you want it!"

"Then let's go! Kannagi style,IchikataIt'sTWei-tigerIdola!!」

 

Hold the handle held in both hands at the top and swing it down as much as you can.

That alone cracks the ground and sends a cloud of dust and smoke in the air.

 

"Oh, when I look at it again, it's amazing......

"I guess that's what Kannagi is really capable of."

 

Mr./Ms. and I were watching the scene from a distance.

There are also other faces, such as Nea, Ferm, Amako, and Burlin.

 

"Ferm, Nea, Amako, let's do it too."

"Huh"""

 

I ...... like it.

Ferm assimilates with me, and Nea and Amako enter my body.

Black is mixed in with my uniform, and the assimilation is complete.

 

『…… I can't get used to it.'

 

As she relaxes her body as if she were doing preparatory exercises, Amako mutters something like that.

In response to her muttering, I hear Nea's voice in a rather cheerful voice.

 

"Really? I'm used to it, okay? It's pretty cozy.'

"No, you're too relaxed......

 

I'm curious what it's like to assimilate with me in a sober way.

It seems that Ferm can sleep normally, and I wonder if it is surprisingly comfortable?

…… No, it's what it's all about.

My body is like a share house or something.

When I was thinking for myself and rushing into it myself, Bullin came to me while I was doing preparatory exercises.

 

"Gru"

"I'm sorry, I can't assimilate any more......"

 

Bullin also seems to be interested in his current appearance.

However, my body is now over capacity, so even if I want to assimilate, I have to replace it with either Amako or Nea.

Now we have to see how much we can do with this basic assimilation, so for now, let's let Bulllin watch the game.

After stroking Bulllyn's lower jaw, he turns to Leona's Mr./Ms..

　

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

"Oh, what are you going to do first?"

"There's something I want to try, can you send me a magic bullet?"

"Understood."

 

Mr./Ms. creates a number of ice gravels that emit cold air and floats them in the air.

They come towards me pretty fast.

 

"Whew!"

 

Approaching them at once, I step back and hesitate.

Listening to Amako's foreknowledge, he dealt with the ice gravel, and dealt with the resistance spell that Nea had given him for any attacks he couldn't avoid.

 

"Usato, I don't look special, but does this mean anything?"

"Of course!"

 

He moves while flicking the ever-approaching ice gravel with his fists.

At some point, the location shifts from near the basin to the forest.

 

"Ferm! Do you remember what we talked about before this training?"

"What? Is that what makes my dark magic resilient? Like I said, do you think you can do something so delicate?'

"No, I can! If it's you!!"

 

Ferm was skeptical, but considering the nature of dark magic, it shouldn't be impossible.

Or rather, the fact that Koga was able to imitate my elasticity so easily means that it is not a very difficult skill for a dark wizard.

 

"Well, I'm trying to do something weird......

"It's the usual Usato."

 

Amako and Nea's stunned sighs can be heard.

As if to drown it out, he unleashes a shockwave from his dark magic sword stretched out from his arm, blowing away the ice gravel.

To begin with, Ferm is skeptical about making dark magic resilient.

So, I'm going to use effective words to fire her here.

 

"Koga is ready."

『…… What's that? If he can do it, I can do it!!"

"Choroi"

"It's a little bit."

"You guys are noisy!!"

 

After yelling at Amako and Nea, Ferm transforms the black magic he has gathered on his left arm.

The black magic that was made hard becomes elastic like rubber.

If you try to hit a tree lightly, you will get a backlash.

 

"The elasticity itself is stronger than my elasticity...... This is it!"

 

Spread your left hand to catch one of the ice gravel.

With a slight recoil, the ice gravel sinks into the palm, completely killing the impact.

As it is, he wraps his legs with elastic magic and moves while kicking trees.

 

"This is how it is used!"

"That's what you want to try!"

 

Mr./Ms. with a spear comes towards us, creating more ice gravel.

Ice gravel attacks in increasing numbers.

On the other hand, he slams dark magic transformed like a cloak into the front, and the impact itself is incapacitated by elasticity.

 

"Then can this be prevented?"

"Oh, Usato! Above!!'

 

Ice gravel rolled out to overlap the sun overhead.

The gravel slams into my blinded body and falls to the ground, but the black magic concentrated on my back causes my body to float back into the air as if bouncing on the ground.

 

"Well, it also prevents the impact of attacks...... It's a dark cushion."

"You guys, the name of this technique should be Cushion Armor?"

"Yes."

"I'm not complaining."

"Huh?"

 

Didn't you hear me?

Well, it's a little unsatisfactory, but cushion armor is fine.

I give myself elasticity for movement, attack, and defense, and I give Ferm elasticity as armor that offsets the impact of attacks.

If you use these two well, it should be a weapon that can be used well in actual battles.

 

"Well, let's continue!"

"I'm not going to hold back either!"

 

I wield a gauntlet with my right arm, and Mr./Ms. Leona wielded a spear.

Time is limited.

In the meantime, I need to train my cushion armor to a level where it can be used in real combat.

 

●

 

Leona's training with Mr./Ms. ended just before we got serious about each other.

Sometimes it's just training to practice something new and want to try, but most of all, Mr./Ms. Nagi asked me to cast a healing spell on my senpai and Kazuki.

After administering a healing spell to the exhausted two, they make grilled fish over a bonfire, but their training continues at a distance.

 

"Kazuki! I got it!! Make the most of your characteristics!!"

"Huh!"

"But it's too late! Then you'll be dropped right away!!"

 

It wouldn't be bad for me to look twice at Kazuki, who had gotten into the disc-shaped light magic and started to move through the air.

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who uses precognitive magic to anticipate the magic bullets that Kazuki unleashes, challenges Nagi with plenty of time to spare.

 

"Eat it! Raiden, Dog Run!"

"Sweet! Kannagi style, unconcealed!"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who stuck the tip of his black sword into the ground and instantly whipped up a cloud of sand smoke, fended off the attack of his seniors who slashed at him while wearing lightning.

Mr./Ms. Nagi let go of the sword and slammed the palm blow with both hands into the senior.

 

"No hands, no ox!"

"Ugh!?"

 

While rolling on the ground, the senior stands up again.

She wipes her mouth while smearing it with dirt and smiles.

 

"I'm still ......!"

"That's what you're going to do, Suzune! You can do more!!"

"Oh, Master Kannagi!"

"Come on!"

 

- Training that intensifies by involving Kazuki as it is.

…… Is it a spoken?

 

"It's hot, they'......."

"Somehow, it goes well with Suzune, isn't it?

 

Ferm and Nea are squirming as they eat grilled fish.

Even though they aren't serious about each other, it's amazing to take that senior and Kazuki as a cue ball.

If I had time, I would have liked to participate in the training, but right now I can't even get in the way of them.

 

"Yes, Usato.

"Oh, thank you."

 

Amako offers a purple nut.

When you receive it and put it in your mouth, a peculiar sourness and a hint of sweetness spread in your mouth.

yes, it's not astringent and it's usually delicious.

 

"Okay, this is an edible nut."

"Hey, little fox, you've poisoned me again."

"Hmm, just kidding."

 

Are you really kidding?

He glances sideways at Amako, who is eating the fruit of the tree without care, and shrugs his shoulders.

Then, Mr./Ms., who was sitting across from me, spoke to me.

 

"You come up with new moves every time you fight."

"Hahaha, I just used Koga as a reference this time."

 

You could say that he imitated my elasticity, so he imitated it back.

Well, I didn't handle it as well as Koga, but I was able to give it my own elasticity and differentiation, so let's say it's okay.

 

"After all, I think your presence is reliable."

"You're more capable, and that's ......."

"It's not about force, it's about you...... What can I say, it seems to manage any situation in a way that no one can think of...... There's a kind of trust."

"I ...... trust."

 

Is it a compliment to do something that no one else can think of?

No, I'm sure Leona Mr./Ms. is complimenting me, but I had mixed feelings.

 

「…… Hey, Ferm."

"Hmm?"

 

While Mr./Ms. and I were exchanging such exchanges, Nea was talking to Ferm, who was eating grilled fish next to her.

 

"Does Leona meet the criteria for assimilation?"

"What!?"

 

Ferm tilts her head while biting into the grilled fish, and Leona Mr./Ms. responds with a slightly over-the-top reaction.

Ferm stares at her for a few seconds and slowly shakes his head.

 

"Not yet...... It seems impossible. I feel like that. I guess it's just because we just met the other day."

"I see......

 

Mr./Ms. shrugs her shoulders somewhat disappointedly.

When I tried to call out to follow her, Ferm spoke to me faster than I could.

 

"Well, I can tell right away that you're not a bad guy, I just got to know you, so I don't really care."

「…… Oh, thank you, Ferm."

 

…… No, I was impressed.

When she first joined the rescue team, she was stinged in all directions, but now she is able to say words that care for others, and I realized that Ferm has grown.

Perhaps I was distracted by such a surprised expression, but Ferm glared at me.

 

"Hey, what are you looking at......

"No, it's kind of like parenthood, ...... Amako thinks so too."

"Good boy, good girl"

 

Amako pops and before she knows it, Amako moves next to Ferm and strokes her head.

Noticing this, Ferm shook off Amako's hand, her face turning bright red.

 

"Don't treat me like a child!"

 

Just as I was smiling, someone tapped me on the back.

 

"Grr

"Oh, what's up, Bulllin?"

 

When I turn around, I see Burlin.

Hmm? I want to say something, but what?

 

"Maybe Burlin wants to assimilate with Usato?"

「…… Is that so?"

"Grr

 

It seems so.

Come to think of it, I wanted to do that earlier.

I'll be fine now, and I'll see if I can assimilate into Ferm.

 

"Ferm, can you assimilate Burlin?"

"Huh? …… Ah, well, you can. I'm kind of involved with this guy."

 

Come to think of it, we used to run on the battlefield together.

It seems that he will try it immediately, and Ferm, which has turned into black magic, assimilates with my body.

And then Bullin, who was right next to me, jumped on me -- and assimilated as it was.

 

"Grr

"Oh, I hear the voice of Bulllyn from inside me."

 

Unlike Ferm and Amako, it feels kind of fresh.

 

"So, what do you think?"

"I don't think there ...... any change in appearance."

"It's the usual Usato."

 

Leona Mr./Ms. and Nea look at it with interest.

Then, the Ferm inside me talks to me.

 

"Then why don't you try to reflect the racial characteristics of the assimilated Burlin?"

「…… How can you do that?"

"I mean, I've done it many times already, and when I made you look like a demon, it was like showing my character."

 

Amako looks interested at these words.

 

"So, can you show me and Nea's characteristics as well?"

"It's not impossible, well, I didn't do it because I didn't think it was necessary."

 

I don't need the ability to be a vampire......

The beastman's senses may come when they need it, though.

While I'm saying this, Ferm reflects on Burlin's character.

Then, I was surprised to see my hands changing from the collar of my uniform and my arms from the elbow to the end covered with black hair, as if they were wrapped in a black blanket.

 

"Ugh, my arm is ......."

 

I feel like I'm overflowing with power.

Does this mean that the power of Bullin has been reflected?

I feel like my senses have become sharper.

I thought it was a success, so I looked up and looked at Amako and the others, and for some reason I was holding back a smile.

 

"What? What's going on?"

"Why are you laughing?"

 

Amako and Nea are holding their lips and smiling, but Mr./Ms. is shaking her shoulders as she looks behind her.

When Ferm and I were confused, Nea pointed to my head with tears in her eyes.

 

"Oh, you have ears like Bulllin, don't you?"

「…… Huh?"

 

I was so taken aback that I touched my head, and there were round ears that weren't supposed to be there.

Could it be that as a result of reflecting the characteristics of my race, I have a bearworm on my head?

Perhaps she couldn't stand it, but as it was, she started laughing while pointing at people.

 

"Whew! You look good on me!"

"yes, I think it looks great."

"Hey, these guys ......!"

"I want to see it, I want to see it and laugh as much as I can."

 

I don't have an ally with a conscience.

Leona Mr./Ms. is just enduring it, shaking her shoulders as she glances sideways.

No good.

I can't stand it anymore.

Moreover, if this situation is found by that person...

 

"Usato-kun has a chemomimi!?"

 

No, it was late!

It was locked on even though it was quite a distance!

 

"Master, stop! Now I have a place to go!!"

"Suzune, don't look away!"

"Then it's time to surpass the master now! I'm going, Kazuki-kun!"

"Oh, hey, senpai!?"

 

A senior who heads towards Mr./Ms. Nagi with tremendous motivation.

When I saw that, I twitched my cheeks imagining what would happen next.

He seemed to have a strong assimilation with Bullin, but I ...... he couldn't show it in front of his seniors.
