At first, it was just us and him.

Yet, a man named Lignus tried to get everyone involved and get him on his side.

Everyone was frowning at his selfish and domineering actions, and while his actions were failing, I was aware that things were getting worse.

There is no going back.

He turned what was supposed to be a small problem into a big problem that could not be recovered.

 

"Hmm? What do you think? If you want to withdraw, why don't you accept my challenge?"

 

Lignus incites me when I stop.

Suppressing my inner anger, I talk to Koga.

 

"Koga"

"Oh, I know, I'm going to take advantage of this provocation—"

"I'll do it."

"No, why......?"

 

Koga, surprised by my words, turns around.

 

"You'd better back off here, what are you going to do with the provocation?"

"If you react here, it's the pot that the other party wants, and even if you pull here, it won't be a good result for you to take advantage of the provocation."

 

If you were to back off quietly here, the demon tribe would come to the realization that it was okay to say such things easily.

However, if Koga gets on the provocation, his impression of the demon tribe will be bad.

I don't know if he's that calculated...... It's a way to take advantage of the bad position of the demon tribe.

 

"So I'm going to take care of it here, and if I come out, it's just a mock battle between people."

「…… No, I think that's too absurd."

 

You won't know until you try.

Besides, he's a jerk who does thoughtless things in a place like this.

In fact, it is more likely that you will receive it.

With that in mind, I turned to Lignus.

 

"If you're a training partner, I'll be in charge."

"You're human, aren't you? I want to fight the demons."

 

Come to think of it, won't the king on the other side stop it?

When I casually turned my gaze to the king in the audience, he was looking down at me with no expression.

Turning to the Demon Lord, he sat gracefully and looked at me.

…… Isn't that demon lord enjoying this situation......?

 

"Why are you doing this?"

"I just found a rare creature called the Demon Tribe, and I was intrigued. …… Oh, and the rest was just an eyesore."

「…… They didn't approach you on their own."

"It's the same thing if you see it in your field of vision, right? Either way, it's an eyesore when you're a monster that's different from a human."

「……」

 

Take small, deep breaths.

I know there are many different people in the world.

 

"If discrimination against subhumans is the norm in your country, please do it only in your country, and it shouldn't matter to us who belong to other countries."

「…… I don't like it. Okay. Then I'll deal with you first."

 

Here's what I don't like.

I'm sure that's the one who came at me with childish logic.

He swallows the words that come to his throat.

For the time being, he agreed to a mock battle.

 

"Take up arms."

 

When I was about to move to the battlefield, Lignus looked at me helplessly and said with a frown.

I show my gauntlet.

 

「…… No, you don't. There's also a gauntlet."

"No, take it, otherwise it will look like I'm bullying the weak."

 

Don't you know me?

Well, that's ...... unavoidable.

 

"I'm going to do it, he's trying to weaken Usato by taking up arms."

"No, no, I'm pushing myself, aren't I? You can't get away with it, man.'

『…… Certainly.'

 

Ferm and Nea, who are looking down from the railing of the auditorium, say whatever they want in a voice that I can hear.

Sure, I'm not used to using weapons, but I have an idea.

 

「…… Ferm!"

"Hmm? Oh, that's what I mean. I get it."

 

Ferm throws dark magic from his palm.

It sucks on my left hand, covering my fingertips and forearm before turning into a hard gauntlet.

He wields his arm once, transforming from a gauntlet into the form of a black sword and gripping it.

 

"This is my weapon, the power of the demon clan that you want."

「…… Hmm, that's good. …… Use bizarre tricks."

 

I wonder if I can only swear.

I don't know what kind of position he is in, but he is a very rude person.

 

"I don't understand at all, why are you trying to protect the Demon Clan?"

 

Facing him, Lignus doesn't start a mock battle, but for some reason begins to make a speech that looks like a speech.

 

"I wish the filthy vermin that clung to the land like the Demon Tribes had perished."

「……」

"They don't have much power anyway to not accept this challenge from me, and we are no match for humans."

 

Are you trying to make me angry?

Sure, it's irritating, but I'm not going to take his delusions head-on, as he's never even fought an army of demons.

 

"The Lingle Kingdom is also too megalomaniacal, it's pointless to throw a large number of soldiers at such a large number of people."

「…… Whew!"

 

He doesn't care about me widening his eyes, and he mouths the rest of the words as if he is drunk on himself.

 

"Well, I'm going to die in vain."

 

　……。

 

"The preamble is long, come on! Let's get started!"

 

The moment he raises the spear in his hand, he activates the magic with all his might.

Simultaneously empowering and accelerating the outburst of magical power, I instantly approached the front of Lignus and smashed his spear with the sword I swung from above.

 

「…… Huh?"

「…… It's started, isn't it?"

"Haha."

 

I warned him in front of me, and for some reason, Lignus stepped back with a crooked smile.

 

"You seem to be confident in your speed, but don't think you can compete with me on an equal footing at that level......!"

 

I accelerated again and approached in front of him, pressing the hilt of the sword I was about to pull out of its scabbard with my palm to prevent him from pulling it out.

 

「…… Whew."

"What's wrong?"

 

If the sword doesn't work, use magic, and push his shoulder with his left hand as he tries to move his right arm, so that he won't shoot the magic.

 

"Are you done?"

"Heh, don't be silly!"

"I won't let you back down."

 

It lightly stomps on the foot and prevents even the behavior of jumping backwards.

A technique that reacts visually to all attacks and movements and continues to stop with the nose, leaving it to the reflexes.

It's a way of fighting that would never be understood if the opponent was a reasonably talented player, but ...... to say that he can understand this, that's what it means.

 

「…… Enough is enough."

 

Stop disturbing his movements, lightly press his right shoulder and force him to step back.

It would be a waste of time to prolong it any longer.

 

"Oh, don't look at me like this!"

 

What I released from my palm while stepping back was an electric shock.

It is a childish thing that cannot be compared to the electric shock of his seniors, and he knocks it to the ground with his right hand.

 

"Wow, my magic...... Who are you......?"

"I'm a healing wizard from the Ringle Kingdom."

"...... silly!"

 

In a fit of rage, Lignus pulls out the sword at his waist.

There was a rustle around the sword, which had not been drawn, but I didn't think it was a threat at all.

 

"it!!"

 

He sees Lignus approaching to slash at him, and transfers his dark magic to his right arm.

Dark magic that is shaped like a silver gauntlet.

He points the tip of his fist at the Lignus who is about to slash at him.

 

"——— Black Arm, Healing Flying Fist"

 

The sword-shaped dark magic ejected by an outburst of magical power that he named Darkness Healing Flying Fist pierced the abdomen of Lignus, who was approaching about five meters away, and blew his body backwards in a big way.

 

"Huh......!?"

 

He couldn't even react and was hit in the abdomen, just crawling on the ground with an anguished expression on his face.

Still, he manages to get up and show it, but he can't do that because the dark magic that unraveled at the same time as the direct hit is restrained by his body.

 

"For the time being, I did take care of it."

 

Otherwise, he would have reaped consciousness immediately after breaking his spear.

We tried to at least set up his mentality for our position, but this is the limit.

 

"This coward ......!"

「……?」

"It's a surprise!"

 

As far as this is concerned, I have not cheated at all.

Looking down at Lignus coldly, I slowly mouthed the words to him as he collapsed to the ground, unable to swallow the situation.

 

"I only moved after you gave the signal to begin...... Besides, this is not an official match or a match, so there is nothing cowardly about it."

 

Cowardly, he had already signaled the beginning.

I just started moving and attacking him as soon as he finished saying it.

 

"If you can't react to an attack of this magnitude, you can't deal with him."

「…… Hey, you'......!"

"That's it."

 

He lightly shakes his index finger and wields dark magic.

The dark magic that had been wrapped around his body returned to my hands.

 

"Koga, let's go back up."

"Oh...... Well, what. Thank you."

"Don't worry about it, because I was angry too."

 

It was a completely useless battle.

It was a good idea to fight Koga with this.

With that in mind, I hear a "sound" coming from behind me.

 

「…… Usato"

"I know...... Sigh."

 

I turned around and at the same time pointed my palm at the electric shock that was approaching from behind.

 

"——— Hmmm!!"

 

He instantly activates a healing explosion wave from his palm and blows away the electric shock that is approaching in front of him.

In an instant, the electric shock was gone, and the healing magic particles that had soared from the shockwave rained down on the lignus that would have released the electric shock, looking at me in disbelief.

 

「……!」

"Ahh

 

I stretched out the dark magic in the shape of a gauntlet, grabbed Lignus by the collar, and pulled him with all my strength and slammed him to the ground.

He coughs lightly at the impact on his back, but he doesn't stop his arrogant attitude.

 

"Whew, let go! Hey, what are you doing?! Stop this guy!!"

「……」

 

Even as I was pinned down to the ground, Lignus was desperately trying to break the restraints on my left hand.

The people around him who asked for help all turned their cold gazes on Lignus.

The two surprises seemed to have brought the worst impression of this person.

 

"It seems useless to say anything to you anymore."

 

Gather your strength in your right fist and raise it high.

 

"Hey, wait, Usato! First of all--"

 

Before Koga can stop me, I swing my fist down.

The fist slammed right next to Lignus's face sank deep into the ground, carving a cobweb-like trap.

 

"What...... What......

"Once again, I'm going to fight you with all my might, but be prepared. I'm not going to mess with you anymore."

 

He said that the people of the Lingle Kingdom who lost their lives in that battle were in vain.

Still, I endured the feeling of my gut boiling over and over, but I couldn't do it anymore.

 

"——— Ferm, Nea."

 

He raises his outstretched hand and calls out their names.

Within seconds, Ferm jumped out of the audience and assimilated with me, and Nea landed on my shoulder.

 

"Devil? Or is it a chimera? I don't care which one it is, okay?'

"Well, I hope I don't overdo it, but I seem to have a cool head."

 

In an instant, a flaming black pattern appeared on the uniform, and the surroundings were buzzing, but even if they exposed a few cards here, there was no dangerous option to leave them alone.

At the outset, he was a dangerous guy who didn't hesitate to attack Koga.

It is possible that this will be directed at other subhumans, the elven relatives of Mr./Ms. Flana, and Mr./Ms. Hayate.

Then, here's the thing.

 

"That's it, Usato, I know how you feel, but you shouldn't give up."

「……?」

 

Before I knew it, someone approached me and put his hand on my shoulder.

Muscular arms, as thick as logs.

I was surprised to see a familiar voice and see its face, thinking it was someone.

 

「……!? Mr./Ms. Hyde!?"

"Oh, don't see me again in hard times, Usato."

 

A tall large man with short cropped red hair.

Mr./Ms. Hyde, the warrior leader of the Warriors of the Kingdom of Nirvarna.

Amazed at the fact that he was here, I let go of the lignus that was holding my chest and let go of the assimilation.

 

"You Mr./Ms., don't do it anymore."

"Damn it! ……!」

 

Lignus looks up at Hyde, who is nearly two meters tall, Mr./Ms. gasps.

He looked down at him in dismay, and then went on to say a few words.

 

"I didn't help Mr./Ms.."

"What...... what!?"

 

Mr./Ms.'s large fist slams into Lignus' cheek.

He slammed into the ground with a lot of force, and he looked up at the man, holding his cheek.

 

"But, what?!"

"I'm glad it was me who was beaten, and if it was him, it would have been hard for him to heal his wounds, wouldn't he?"

"Hyde Mr./Ms......."

"Leave this to me...... After all, it's also an order from His Majesty."

 

Majesty......?

Mr./Ms. Hyde turned from me to Lignus and looked down at him, giving him a sharp look.

 

"You Mr./Ms. insulted my men who fought for their lives on that battlefield, and above all, the Knight of Ringle deserves respect. They were brave."

"Uh, ......, heh, don't be silly, if you do something like this and get away with it—"

"This is Nirvarnaking・・Warning from: If you make any more foolish imitations that dishonor the warriors, you will take appropriate measures...... And that's it."

 

His words were heavy yet pressing, and Lignus fled.

His back looks very small as he walks out alone, exposed to the gaze of the people around him.

 

「…… Helpful. Mr./Ms. Hyde."

"Don't worry about it, I've been sitting quietly until the halfway point. …… Hmm?"

 

Suddenly, Mr./Ms. Hyde looks around.

As expected, he and we seem to be getting a lot of attention from him.

He smiled at her gaze, as if to say that he had done it.

 

"Huh, it looks like you've gone too far!"

"No, what are you really doing?! Warrior Chief!!"

 

Out of the crowd, Hyde's lieutenant, Helena Mr./Ms. Mr./Ms. also arrives.

As usual, he seems to be swayed by his bold actions.

 

"It's been a long time, Helena, Mr./Ms.."

"Oh, Usato-kun, it's been a long time! What a warrior chief! No matter how much His Majesty's permission is granted, fists are not good here!?"

"Hahahaha, what should I really do? Am I bad!?"

 

Mr./Ms. Hyde laughs cheerfully.

I didn't think it would be a good thing to come here, but it was a pleasure for me to be reunited with him, who had helped me a lot in the battle between Luxvis and the Demon Lord's army.

Then, Koga, who looked somewhat tired, spoke to me.

 

"I really thought I was going to hit him."

"No, not really, but it's true that I was angry. If I hadn't been stopped like that, I would have used you as a weapon to hit a home run for him."

"No, no, why are you trying to use me as a weapon?"

 

I shrug my shoulders at Koga, whose face turns pale, as if he has truly received it.

 

"Just kidding, ogre joke."

"A joke that can't be laughed at isn't a joke, right...... Also, you're not funny at all, so don't do it."

「……」

"You're really hurt, ......'m sorry."

 

While being hurt normally, check the situation around you.

Lignus was a terrible guy, but the reaction of those around him was ...... It's like a relief that the storm has passed. Koga was warned, but the fact that he didn't take advantage of the provocation seems to have eased his vigilance from the beginning.

Well, it would have been a good result, except that the gaze directed at me changed to one that looked at a rare beast.

…… Yeah.

Usato, who has improved his magic power rotation technology, can activate magic outbursts more smoothly, and is also capable of healing explosive waves from no motion.

 

When you combine dark magic, it moves in a way that really doesn't make sense when you look at it from the side (laughs).
