Senpai and Kazuki's training is going well...... Seem.

On the other hand, we were just looking for the possibility of our own collaboration.

I reflect the "tribal characteristics" of assimilated beings in myself.

 

"Whew!?"

 

Well, although he was thinking about it, it wasn't going to work out so easily, and for the three days since he was in this form, he had been blown away by a direct hit from Leona Mr./Ms.'s magic bullet.

 

"Uh, bu, Bulllin's sense of smell and hearing are too sharp to get used to ......."

"Guru!"

"You can't move like a wild animal so easily."

 

As expected, it was difficult to avoid magic bullets with the feeling of a magical beast......!

As I was rubbing the place where the magic bullet hit, Leona Mr./Ms., who was controlling the magic bullet from the top of the hill, looked at me.

 

"Hey, are you okay!? Usato!"

"Mr./Ms. Leona! Do it again, again, without hesitation!"

「…… You really haven't changed since Mialak."

 

After successfully assimilating with Burlin, I ran away from my obsessive seniors in earnest and trained with Mr./Ms. Leona again.

However, the content is almost the same as before, but the difference is that I am now in a new form that I have assimilated with Bulllin.

 

"Go!"

 

Mr./Ms. is standing on a hill and operates a magic bullet hidden among the trees with a spear in her hand.

In the forest, where the vision is unclear, it is difficult for me to fend off the accurate magic bullets that Leona Mr./Ms. controls.

It's at times like these that Amako's precognitive magic is needed.

 

"Bulllyn, help me again!"

"Grua!"

 

I've assimilated with Bulllin, and I have his senses.

Confused by the unfamiliar sensation of his senses expanding, he dodges the magic bullets approaching from behind him at breakneck speed by shifting to the side.

 

"Okay, I've got the hang of it......!"

 

After being so swayed by my senses, I was finally able to get something out of it...... I feel like it!

Should I say the smell of magic?

I don't know if it's a biological trait of a blue grizzly or something inherent in a magical beast, but now that I've reflected the Bulllin's sense of smell, I'm able to smell the scent of magic.

 

"Oh, that's it!"

"Grr

"What's going on with your adaptability......

 

While repeating steps, jumps, and backflips, he has a complete grasp of the magic bullets that are constantly chasing him, using only his sense of smell and hearing.

But it doesn't last long.

Or rather, it's really hard because the information is getting into my head so much that I feel like I'm going crazy right now.

 

"I'm going to go to the next one at once! Mr./Ms. Leona, strengthen your lineage!"

 

Mr./Ms. nodded at my voice and extinguished the magic bullet she was controlling and activated ice magic from the top of the hill.

It is a block of ice created by system strengthening.

Blocks of ice created in the air fall to where we are.

 

"Ferm, Bulllin, I'm going to do it!"

"Gua!"

"Are you sure you're going to do ......?"

 

Falling from the sky is a block of ice that Leona Mr./Ms. made by strengthening the system.

It's ice that even Mr./Ms., who ran away in Miarak, couldn't destroy.

 

"Reflection enhancement ......!"

 

My arms, wrapped in black magic, are wrapped in black fur.

Mindlessly, there is even a reproduction of what looks like a paw on the palm, but I don't care about it and squeeze my arm wide.

Hold on to your strength.

 

"Hmmm!"

 

He slams his fist into the ice block with all his might.

With a roar, a trap enters the ice block created by the strengthening of the system.

 

"Heal, Continuous Fist!"

 

The second blow, fired directly from the fist, finally shattered the ice block.

When I saw the remnants of ice falling to the ground, I gave a thumbs up to Mr./Ms. at the top of the hill.

 

"That's bulllyn, you're more than powerful."

"Gru!"

 

The power is amazing, though...... Maybe the fur of the Bulllin is reflected in the uniform, so the defense is also increased.

 

「…… Decided. Let's call it Bulllyn Mode."

"Okay, I'm in Demon Beast Mode."

"Gua!"

 

What did you find?

No, that's fine.

While I was unassimilating Ferm and Burlin, Mr./Ms., who was on the hill, came down to me.

 

"It looks like you've finally gotten it."

"I don't know if it will be useful in an emergency."

 

Do as much as you can right now.

I've been doing my last training with that in mind, but no matter how much I do, it's not enough.

 

"When I'm training with you like I was just now, it reminds me of when I was teaching you how to fight in Myalak."

 

Time of Miarak?

At that time, Leona Mr./Ms. and Alc Mr./Ms. taught me how to fight.

Before that, I was just beating them by force, and because of that experience, I was able to overcome the battle with Mr./Ms. Karon and the battle with Koga in Hinomoto.

 

"Hahaha, there are still a lot of things I'm missing, just like I did then."

"It's the same for me...... I haven't fully mastered this weapon yet."

 

A staff given to the hero of Mialak.

Leona Mr./Ms., who handles it to change it into the shape the user wants, is as strong as Kazuki and her senpai.

No, when it comes to the application of techniques and magic backed by actual combat and experience, this person is outstanding.

 

"Hey, Usato."

"Hmm? What's the matter, Ferm?"

 

Ferm taps him on the shoulder from behind.

 

"Look at that."

"Huh?"

 

Looking in the direction Ferm was pointing, looking at the sky through the gaps in the trees, he saw what looked like a mass of light flying around in the sky.

 

「…… Kazuki?"

 

Kazuki is riding a board-shaped light magic.

He skillfully manipulated his light magic as if he were riding a wave, moving the magic bullets that floated in the air in all directions, and following them, he was piercing through the blue sky with a shining trajectory.

 

"I don't know if I've been able to fly that far yet......

"That's right, I don't think I'll be able to manipulate magic so delicately."

 

I guess it means that they are doing different operations at the same time.

It may be said that it is a technology made possible by Kazuki, who has mastered magic manipulation.

Does it mean that the mobility that Kazuki lacked was compensated?

 

"Ferm, if I use dark magic, will I be able to fly?"

"I can do it."

"Oh, really!?"

"Maybe, but it's more gliding than flying, isn't it? You can't do it if you don't assimilate with Nea...... Well, you'd better run faster. There's no point in flying."

 

I was told in a very dumbfounded way.

Even if you could, is it certainly not something you should be practicing now?

 

"Usato"

 

As I was indulging in my thoughts, Mr./Ms. Leona spoke to me.

At the serious tone of her voice, I turned to myself and looked at her.

 

"I don't think it's a good idea to ask this before a fight, but I want you to hear it."

"What is it?"

"What should we do if our power is not as strong as the Demon Lord?"

「!」

 

It's not a battle you can always win.

No, if you listen to Mr./Ms. Nagi, the battle with the Demon King may be a battle with few chances of even winning.

 

"It's understandable that Kazuki and Suzune are growing exponentially now with Kannagi-dono's guidance, but the Demon King isn't the only opponent they're fighting against. The Demon Clan, the Demon King's Army, the Legion Commander, everything around you is an enemy."

 

The only people on your side are those who are currently traveling.

It is also a hopeless difference in strength, which is equivalent to dealing with a single country.

In such a situation, I think it is quite tough to fight the Demon Lord.

But in a way, the answer was already in my mind.

 

"If you're going to lose, I'm going to keep everyone alive."

「…… That's not the problem, is it? No matter how much of a healing wizard you are, ......."

 

I shake my head at Mr./Ms.'s words.

It's healing magic, not curing.

 

"I'll do whatever it takes to get everyone out alive, because with you, Kazuki, and Senpai, there's still hope."

「……」

 

Mr./Ms. Leona and Ferm, who was playing with Bulllyn next to me, looked at me with a stunned face.

 

"Usato, you're the same as I used ......."

"I know, of course I don't want to do that, and I don't want to. But when you're forced into a situation where you have to do that...... I'm ready."

 

I still remember the story of Mr./Ms. trying to eat the Kureha Fountain.

I don't want to do that because I like it.

 

"Are you serious?"

 

Ferm, who has a slightly low voice, smiles in annoyance.

 

"I'm serious, I'll force you to leave."

"If you can, do it, because I won't let you do what you want."

"Gru"

 

She rolls her eyes at Ferm and Bullin, who speak so forcefully, and she shifts her gaze to the side.

 

"And that...... Don't tell Nea and Amako."

"If I say something like this, I'll be angry, so I won't say it."

"It's really bad that you know and think...... Whew!"

"Grua!"

 

Ferm kicks my shin and Brulin hits me with his front foot.

I can't help but smile at the breathtaking tsukkomi.

It's going to be a bit of a dark atmosphere, so let's just make a joke.

 

"Ah, but I wonder what will happen if I am captured by the Demon King's army, hahaha."

"Koga's playmate"

"What are you going to do, I can't stop shaking."

 

- I thought I was going to make a tea, but I became serious at Ferm's muttering.

And it's easy to imagine the horrors.

I had forgotten that if I was caught by the Demon Lord's army, Koga would automatically follow me.

I'm afraid he would.

 

「…… It's time to go back to Lord Kannagi."

"That's right."

 

Time passed while we were talking.

He travels with Leona, Mr./Ms., Ferm, and Bulllin to the place where Mr./Ms. and Senpai are training.

An open place with a waterfall through the forest.

There, with a metallic sound, Mr./Ms. Nagi and his seniors were fighting.

 

"Thunder Strike One Sword, Wei Tiger!"

 

The sword of the senior wearing lightning and the sword of Mr./Ms. Nagi, who is holding a scabbard and a black sword, clash.

The air trembles with the sound of metal popping.

Despite this, the senpai, who had a belligerent smile on his face, swung his sword at Mr./Ms. Nagi while spinning in the air.

 

"Monkey dance, it's a miserable snake—"

"I won't let you! Kōhai-hsienKogai!」

 

However, before that, Mr./Ms. Nagi with a fist on a black sword held horizontally slams into his senior.

Did you crush the move with the first quick ramming?

However, the senior also landed on the ground while regaining his position in the air.

 

"Thunder Beast Mode 3, Dog Run"

 

The electric shock that covers the senior's body instantly turns purple.

The Thunder Beast mode, which has been enhanced by the strengthening of the system, and in that state, the sword is placed in the scabbard, and when it is about to jump out in a low position---

 

「———Tseng-hsienThin……」

"Yes stop!"

"Hmm!?"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi puts a stop to it.

The senior, who leaked a voice that was taken aback by the voice, rushed to Mr./Ms. Nagi with a pout.

 

"Hey, why are you stopping!?"

"No, I thought it was time to forget myself and use my big moves. If you take it any more seriouslyTo be noticed・・・・・Maybe."

 

While looking up at the sky, Mr./Ms. Nagi put her hand on her senior's shoulder.

 

"Suzune, I've taught you the basics of the techniques you need, so you can make the rest your own."

"You haven't told me everything yet, have you? It's like an unconcealed return."

"I can't do it because it's not right for you."

"Total denial!?"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi becomes warm to the shocked senior.

 

"You're stronger when you slash at your opponent without thinking."

"I hope you don't treat people like a slasher."

 

In the case of seniors, fighting is more important than dodging than defending in terms of fighting style.

I feel like I understand what Mr./Ms. Nagi is saying.

 

"Well, that's all I can tell you, and the rest depends on your hard work."

"Yes! Master!!"

"Is that a joke that still continues? Well, well, that's fine."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi, who looked a little withdrawn, turned her gaze to us who were watching the game.

 

"Kazuki and Suzune are finished, so it's time to get everyone together."

"What do you mean?"

"Ah, let's talk about how to deal with the Demon King's army."

 

After the final training, the next place to head is the city where the Demon King is located.

The destination of our journey and the place of the decisive battle.

I can't imagine what kind of battle there will be, but we still have to go for it.
