The banquet was really hard.

I really didn't feel alive when Lucas and Harold were smiling and arguing with sparks.

I couldn't really hear the conversation because I was away from the scene, but I was sure that they were talking about something that had to do with me.

After the situation calmed down, I went to say hello to the Norn, who seemed to have had the hardest time this time.

When I looked closer, I saw that the stagnation in his eyes was as bad as when Mr./Ms. was out of control, so I gave him his consent and then performed a healing spell as part of shaking his hand.

After that, I was also talked to by the representatives...... I feel like I'm more tired than I normally train.

 

"Amako is going back to her hometown with Mr./Ms. Nagi, isn't she?"

"Yes."

 

A day has passed since the feast was over.

After the meeting, the representatives of each country returned to their respective countries, and I came to see off Amako who was following Hayate Mr./Ms. and the others back to Hinomoto.

Amako, who was next to Mr./Ms. Nagi on the ship docked in the harbor, nodded at my words.

 

"It's time to punish my mother, Mr./Ms.."

"What do you mean......?"

"I'm wandering around the city on a whim and embarrassing Mr./Ms. Hayate, so I'm angry as a daughter."

 

Oh, Mr./Ms. Hayate was having a hard time too.

Well, if you can see Amako for the first time in a long time, Mr./Ms. Kanoko will be happy.

 

"Could Usato be heading to the Demon Lord's Territory?"

"Do you know that?"

"Well, I heard that there is such a story, so if I am chosen, it will be Usato."

"Correct, but don't say too much."

"I know."

 

Well, it's not like I'm going to go right away.

It's about half a month later, so there's still time after I get back.

 

"Mr./Ms. Nagi, please enjoy your hometown after a long absence."

「……」

"Mr./Ms. Nagi?"

 

When I tried to talk to Mr./Ms. Nagi, for some reason she was bored.

I thought it was unusual for her, but when I called out to her again, she immediately returned to me.

 

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear that."

"......, is there anything that bothers you?"

 

It's hard to imagine that this person is bored.

Convinced of this, I asked.

 

"......, I'm talking about a demon who was killed. I'm wondering who killed him...... I don't know."

"The only thing that could kill the demon was the lineage enhancement of Hisago Mr./Ms.'s light magic...... That's what I was talking about. Maybe he—"

"No, I don't, absolutely not, Usato."

 

When I tried to say that he might be alive, Mr./Ms. assured him that it was different.

 

"Hisago's skills will be possible, and his lineage enhancement can even take the life energy of his adversaries into his own. …… But he's stubborn, he's dark, he's Mr./Ms., and he's a terrible guy who would eat insects if he could eat ......."

"Kannagi, hundreds of years of complaining are dripping."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

 

Somehow, I felt a sense of affinity with this angry dissatisfied word.

I've been told by Nak and Amako in a similar way, .......

 

"But no matter how rotten it is, he's still a good man at heart, and he told me to look into the future...... I don't think he was going to live long."

"Is that so?"

 

You didn't plan to live long, did you?

As someone who was shown his past to the Demon Lord, I'm curious about his subsequent story...... ...... think about his fate when Nagi's Mr./Ms. is sealed away and he is left alone.

 

"You're really...... That Mr./Ms.......!!"

"Yes......."

 

I was stunned by Mr./Ms.'s words that made my eyes spin.

 

"Because if I hadn't been sealed, I would have celebrated my sister Mr./Ms.......s engagement! When I woke up, that's it! I was so confused when I saw my little sister's Mr./Ms.!?"

"Small? Did I just say small? Hey? Kannagi?"

"I never thought I was a descendant of my sister Mr./Ms. ......! What's more, my skills are still there, the demon lord who is annoying is resurrected, and on top of that, there is another soul with a personality like me in addition to me who has awakened, so there are so many things that I have become confused and confused and difficult......!!"

 

Well, that sounds like a lot of work.

He smiles wryly as he walks in between Amako and Mr./Ms. Nagi, who gives off a sword-like atmosphere.

 

「…… I'm sorry, I ...... distraught."

"I know Mr./Ms. Nagi has been through a lot, so I don't care."

"I care."

 

Amako with smooth roots.

 

"What I can say for sure is that I don't think Hisago is alive to this age, which is why it's so puzzling......

"Hisago Mr./Ms. was there a way to destroy demons other than ...... magic?"

"That's possible...... Well, I can't do anything about it now. I'll leave that to Falga-sama and the Demon Lord."

 

That's right.

It's because both Falga-sama and the Demon King ...... smart.

 

"Hinomoto, but are you still looking forward to it for Mr./Ms. Nagi?"

"I think things have changed a lot, hahaha."

 

It must be a memorable place for Mr./Ms. Nagi.

 

"For the time being, I'm going to take Kannagi to Rinka's parents' house, where I'll show you the statue of Kannagi."

"Are you sure you don't want to do it!? I'm going to die in agony!?"

"Hahaha"

 

Come to think of it, there was a statue of Mr./Ms. Nagi.

From his point of view, he must have mixed feelings about the fact that his statue is being made.

 

"Is it a send-off for Amako and Kannagi?"

"Mr./Ms. Hayate, Linka."

"Hey, Usato."

 

While talking to the two of them, Hayate Mr./Ms. and Linka come to this place.

Mr./Ms. Hayate sends a smiling glance to Linka, who runs towards us with excitement.

 

"Well, there were problems, but I'm glad that we were able to end the meeting safely."

"It was a tough meeting for both of us......

"Hahaha......"

 

I came here as the head of the Beast Tribe.

Combined with the prejudice and discrimination around him, it must have been mentally painful.

 

"I wasn't there at the time of the meeting, but Usat was amazing!"

"Not really."

"It's an absolute lie!"

"Why do you swear......?"

 

Moreover, he smiled and was told by Linka that it was a lie.

That? Are you referring to the time when you invented the healing cannon, the technique that was the source of the healing flying fist?

Does this kid still think I'm throwing a fist ......?

 

"Damn, I ...... that the words of pure Linka resonate with my heart more than the malicious words of the mascots!!"

"I think there's a problem with Usato."

"Shut up, ......!"

 

While replying to Amako, who is giving her a quick tsukkomi, she faces Hayate Mr./Ms., who is smiling wryly.

 

「…… Is it time to leave?"

"Oh, what about you?"

"I'll be in the same boat as the Demon King for two more days, hahaha."

"That sounds like a lot of work......

 

He's got a section that's been reopened since the fight was over.

He enjoys playing with me.

 

"He's got a really bad personality, right? He definitely thinks I'm a toy or something."

"I can tell from what Usato's actions are looking like he's having fun."

"Whoa, are you a demon lord too?"

 

I didn't expect you to agree with Amako.

As I shrugged my shoulders, the boat on which Amako and the others were riding sounded a whistle.

 

"It's time."

"Yes."

"It's good to see you again."

 

I nodded at Mr./Ms.'s words.

He, Mr./Ms. Nagi, Amako and Linka board the ship.

 

"See you soon, Usato."

"See you then!"

 

Waving to Amako and Linka, he sees them off.

When the boat that Hayate and the others boarded Mr./Ms. proceeded through the lake and headed toward the opposite shore, I left the place and headed for the boat I was on.

The dock itself is not that far away, so as I walked slowly, I noticed three figures heading in the same direction as me.

　

「…… That? Mr./Ms. Leona, Mr./Ms. Charon?"

 

Two of the three people walking were Leona Mr./Ms. and Charon Mr./Ms..

Leona Mr./Ms. is planning to accompany me on the return boat...... Did Mr./Ms. come to see me off?

 

"Oh, Usato, I thought I'd go see you off right now."

"Oh, thank you, uh, that one?"

 

The other is a person who looks to be the same age as Leona Mr./Ms. and Charon Mr./Ms., with flaxen hair and an unfussy demeanor.

Mr./Ms. Karon introduces me to the woman behind me.

 

"This is my wife, Mirfa, and I need to ask you if I want to see you. I brought him to see me off."

"Nice to meet you, Usato-kun."

"Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Usato, and I ...... you're Mr./Ms. Charon."

 

I've heard the story, but she's beautiful.

When I hurriedly returned the greeting, Mr./Ms. Karon smiled at me.

 

"You don't have to be so clever, this guy used to be the same knight as me and Leona, so he's pretty bad—"

 

With a calm smile on his face, Mirfa Mr./Ms.'s palm hit Charon Mr./Ms.'s abdomen directly.

Oh, that's what I meant by being laid on ...... ass.

 

"Charon, I told you, didn't you? He's been a lifesaver for you, and you want to say hello to him."

"Oh, oh, bad."

 

Mirfa talks to the groaning Charon Mr./Ms. Mr./Ms..

Since he is the same knight as Leona Mr./Ms. and Charon Mr./Ms., he may be amazing in terms of ability.

In fact, the bottom of the palm was amazing.

 

"It's still the same, these guys......

"It's not unusual."

"Oh."

 

I call out to Mr./Ms., who is sighing in amazement at the exchange between the two.

She smiles wryly and nods.

 

"I guess it means that we get along well in this way."

"Haha......"

"It's really frustrating to be able to show it up close and long."

「……」

 

I felt like I had caught a glimpse of Mr./Ms.'s true feelings casually.

I'll leave it ...... you here.

Then, as if he had finished speaking, Mr./Ms. turned around and bowed deeply.

 

"Thank you so much for Charon's loss of self, because thanks to you, my husband is here without losing his life......

"No, I don'...... that."

 

To my surprise, Mr./Ms. Mirfa continues.

 

"I was surprised that they were more normal than I thought, because Charon and Leona are already exaggerating ......."

"They often say that...... By the way, what about Leona Mr./Ms.?"

"Usato!?"

 

I asked, noticing Leona's shoulders shaking Mr./Ms..

 

"I always act unexpectedly, so I can't take my eyes off him."

"Leona Mr./Ms. I'm sorry ......."

"No, no, I didn't mean it that way! Hey, Mirfa!"

"Hehehe, I'm sorry."

 

It was just a normal worry......

It's always been a trick to look good, a monster, a monster, an ogre, and lately, it's becoming a mess with demons and demon killers.

It was the same place to go, and I headed to the dock with Mr./Ms. and the others.

 

"It's going to be tough from now on, Usato."

「…… Do you know?"

"Ah, Master Farga, it must be difficult to send you to the Demon Lord's Domain."

"You're going to be sent to the wrong place......

 

As Charon Mr./Ms. and Mirfa Mr./Ms. say, it's a tough place.

They will be sent to a place that was enemy territory just six months ago.

I'm sure there will be a lot of problems standing in the way.

 

"I'm not sure if they're scared."

"I know your personality very well, and I think we can get along well."

"Thank you."

 

Oh, and Mr./Ms. Charon doesn't know.

Well, yes...... If you don't know, that's fine, it's not enough to bother teaching you.

 

"Oh......."

「…… Leona? What's wrong? He looked like he had guessed that."

"No, no, nothing."

 

Apparently, Mr./Ms. sensed why I might be scared.

It can be said that half of it is the fault of the Demon King, and the other half is my own fault, but the people of the Demon Tribe, recognize me as a demon and fear me.

The Demon Lord is half funny, but I want to clear up any misunderstandings as soon as possible.

 

"Well, I'm also the deputy leader of the Lingle Kingdom, the Life Rescue Team, and I'm going to be the one to carry out the activities of the Life Saving Team wherever I'm sent."

"Haha

 

Mr./Ms. Karon patted me on the back and smiled brightly.

Finally, we arrived at the boat for the return trip.

In front of the ship, Ferm and ...... For some reason, I can see the figure of a senior who is carrying an owl on his head.

 

"Usato guy, he's finally here."

"Oh, oh! Usato-kun!"

 

When I arrived at the spot while waving back to the senior who was waving at me, Nea, who was on top of the senior's head, jumped on my shoulder.

 

"It's late."

"I'm sorry, I had a bit of a long talk."

 

As he apologizes to Nea, Ferm speaks to him next.

 

"Did Amako leave safely?"

"Oh, Mr./Ms. Nagi is there, so I don't think there's anything to worry about."

"I've already loaded your luggage."

"Oh, really? Thank you, Ferm."

 

「…… Looking at this exchange, you can see that he is an unusual child in a good way. I'm talking to a little owl and a demon cub in a friendly way......"

"Isn't that so?"

"Why are you so proud......?"

 

While answering Ferm, I introduce Charon Mr./Ms. and his Mr./Ms., Mirfa Mr./Ms., to my seniors.

The seniors seemed to be surprised that Mirfa Mr./Ms. was Mr./Ms. back Mr./Ms. Charon.

 

"Well, it's time for us to leave."

 

After putting the seniors on the boat first, I said goodbye to Mr./Ms. Charon and Mr./Ms. Mirfa.

Mr./Ms. puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles nicely.

 

"Be careful."

"Now when you're settled, come visit Mealak."

"Yes."

 

I nod to Karon Mr./Ms. and Mirfa Mr./Ms..

Seeing that I nodded, Mr./Ms. Charon spoke to Leona, who was standing next to me, Mr./Ms..

 

"Well, Leona, did you ask me to do the rest?"

"I know you don't have to be told, you're the one who hides in Mirfa and doesn't let them find out you're drinking with your men."

"If you didn't tell me in front of this guy, I could have hidden it!?"

"Charon?"

"Wow, you're angry!?"

 

The large Karon Mr./Ms. laughs wryly at the surreal sight of being frightened by Mirfa Mr./Ms..

This time, I want to come to Mearlark with no mission or anything.

With that in mind, I said goodbye to Charon Mr./Ms. and Mirfa Mr./Ms.once again, and boarded the ship with Leona Mr./Ms..

 

"This meeting was a tough one."

"Yes, really, I never thought I'd be called a demon slayer."

「…… I don't think the word 'kill' suits you......"

"What?"

 

She smiles softly as her eyes reflect the cityscape of Mealak as it recedes into the distance.

 

"You are a man who can keep people alive, even though some will ridicule you as unprepared for not being able to kill your enemies...... That's not true. That's your strength, and I'm sure that's what you've seen so far."

「…… Thank you. Mr./Ms. Leona."

 

Leona Mr./Ms.'s words are engraved in her heart, and she looks at the surface of the lake from the boat.

Is it my strength?

I wasn't really aware of it, but I was able to convince myself of it.

 

"Even in the Demon King Territory, I have to do my best......"

 

I don't know what the future holds.

Perhaps, like in the case of the Demon Lord, you will be confronted with a choice.

But even so, I thought in my heart that it would be nice if I could move forward without bending myself.
