The expansion of the shelters for the rescue team progressed at an astonishing pace.

About three days after talking to Rose, we are already preparing to build a dormitory, and the hired Mr./Ms. are working with great enthusiasm.

It seems to take a certain amount of time, but I was a little happy to see the sight of a new dormitory for the rescue team.

A week had passed since I had been summoned to the castle of the Kingdom of Lingle to hear about being sent to the city of Verhazar in the Demon Kingdom.

At that time, my boss, Rose, also accompanied me, and I received an explanation from Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Sergio Mr./Ms..

 

"It's the first attempt, so it's not going to be very long, it's going to be two months at most. In the meantime, I want you to conduct research on the Demon Tribe, the land.'

 

There are other things that need to be done, but the general purpose is to investigate and report.

Anyway, from the perspective of other countries, the Demon Lord's Territory and the Demon Clan are still a vague existence, ....... First of all, I have to take the initiative to get involved with the demon tribe so that the people around me can understand .......

As for the personnel, Rose advised me to select a few people, so I have to find someone to come to the Demon Lord's Territory with me before I leave.

 

Well, after I finished talking about dispatching, I decided to investigate magic sensing with Mr./Ms. and her subordinate wizard Mr./Ms..

 

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

 

The place where you are now is the training ground of the castle.

Around him are a group of wizards under the Welsh Mr./Ms. with yellow balls that look like they Mr./Ms. children playing.

They're going to throw it at me, and I'm just going to avoid it...... I don'...... what it is.

 

"Now, Usato-sama, please cover your eyes and ears."

"Okay, I understand."

 

For some reason, I was assigned to cover my eyes and ears.

Cover your eyes with a black cloth around your head, and then plug your ears to block your vision and hearing.

I feel a little light through the cloth and my own breathing, which I can hear well.

…… Good.

With my vision still in total darkness, I crushed the magic bullet I had created in my palm and spread the magic around me.

 

「……」

 

The range is about 10 meters.

Feel the particles of healing magic in your body and sharpen your nerves.

…… The magic behind him flickered.

Sensing something approaching, he moves one step to avoid the ball.

 

"You can throw a lot more!"

 

I can't hear the reply because of the earplugs, but the ball flies continuously from all directions to meet my voice.

I understand.

You can see where it's coming from and how fast the ball is coming at you.

 

"Healing cat trick!"

 

Clap your hands and spread the healing magic again.

Maybe it's because I'm blocking my eyes and ears, but I feel like I'm able to concentrate on sensing magic even more.

As long as the ball is thrown, it's easy.

 

"Huh!?"

 

The ball that I tried to avoid with plenty of time to spare turned at a right angle in the air and headed towards me?!

I dodged it by knocking my body deeper, but obviously the trajectory of the ball was wrong!

 

"Oops!?"

 

And more than one!

The ball moves all around me...... No, is this a magic bullet!?

I feel the urge to remove the blindfold, but I think this is part of the investigation, so I let it continue.

 

「……!」

 

Dodge the magic bullet that soars from below by turning it backwards.

Backflip as it is. With one hand on the ground, he changes the direction of his fall, dodges the magic bullet that is aimed at landing, and takes a light step to bring the situation back to zero.

Oh, you've increased the number!

I didn't plan to use it, but ......!!

 

"Healing Accelerated Fist ......!"

 

Instantly, he wraps a gauntlet on his right arm and turns it into a movement that uses an outburst of magical power.

Faster than before, he falls backwards while holding back a large number of magic bullets with his healing bursting palm.

 

"Nhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Bounce with an elastic grant that is moved to your back—you land in a somersault backwards, slamming your healing fist into the ground, and then spreading the healing magic particles around you, increasing the range of your magic sense.

After all, there is someone next to Mr./Ms. who uses magic.

Speaking of people who can control magic bullets like this, .......

 

「…… Kazuki?"

 

As I muttered, the magic bullet that was trying to surround me again disappeared into the air.

…… Is it over?

After confirming that there was no sign of balls or magic bullets flying, I took off my earplugs and blindfolds.

 

"Yes, you're right, Usato."

"You were moving like crazy, even though you were restricting your eyes and ears......

 

Near Welsey Mr./Ms., whose cheeks twitched somehow, were Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana.

What does that mean? Looking at Welsey Mr./Ms., she looks somewhat sorry.

 

"In my initial practice, it was easier than I expected, so I asked Kazuki-sama, who came to this place, to do it."

"How was it...... you? What about magic sensing?"

 

When I asked Mr./Ms. about it, she gave me a troubled look as she rolled up the documents in her hand.

 

"My impression is that Usato-sama has gone to a distant place."

"Why......

"Sensing objects without seeing or hearing, this is magic sensing...... Interesting, interesting, isn't it? …… I would have been distraught if I hadn't told Farga beforehand."

 

Mr./Ms. makes her glasses glow suspiciously.

Has the spirit of a researcher been ignited?

 

"We're all here!"

"'Yes!'"

 

Suddenly, Mr./Ms. raised her voice, and her subordinates around her gathered around her all at once.

 

"Mr./Ms., did you notice anything?"

"It was a great move!"

"It's not an impression! Give your opinion, give your opinion!"

 

It seems that he is listing things that he noticed when he saw my movements earlier.

The sight of a group of black-robed men shouting at the edge of the training ground is surreal.

 

"To my magic eyes, it seemed that Usato-sama's magic was circulating at an incredible speed!"

"It seems that when the magic power scattered around you interferes, it will be transmitted to Usato-sama himself as a sense!"

"Since it was compatible with Kazuki-sama's magic bullet that draws a mysterious trajectory, I ...... that the accuracy is also quite high."

"No, it's just that his reflexes are amazing?"

 

…… It's incandescent.

I thought it was important to express this kind of opinion, and as I watched quietly, Kazuki and Mr./Ms. Furana came to my side.

 

"Usato, I'm sorry for the suddenness."

"No, I had a little fun too."

"It was fun......

 

Kazuki wasn't serious either.

If he manipulated the magic bullet with serious precision and speed, it would be easily caught by me, who had limited eyes and ears.

 

"Usato was also kind of moving really well, and when I thought he was falling off his back, he was jumping up and down the spot all of a sudden."

"Whew, that's a no-motion jump move with elasticity, it's a healing bounce."

"Hey, is Nea here?"

"I've left him with the leader."

 

Mr./Ms. Frana. Why are you looking for Nea here and now?

Do you have any complaints about my healing bound?

 

"By the way, if you gather it in your feet and stomp it, you ......."

 

He jumped up on the spot about a meter lightly.

I usually use this elasticity to accelerate, but .......

 

"By switching between defense, acceleration, movement, and landing with this elasticity, you can move without relying on the gauntlet."

"It's not healing magic anymore, I've been thinking about it for a long time."

 

For a moment, I was stunned and turned to Mr./Ms. Furana.

I don't know what to say.

It's healing magic because it's using healing magic.

 

"Hahaha, Mr./Ms. Furana is interesting."

"Hey, Kazuki!? Is it okay to be angry with this person!?"

"Well, so-so......

 

As expected, let me explain.

With that in mind, I cut the story to her.

 

"Mr./Ms. Frana, there's a reason why I'm devising a lot of magic."

"Really?"

"Oh."

 

It's not like they're using magical outbursts or elasticity without thinking.

Most of the techniques I've developed seem to have been developed on the spur of the moment, but of course, I'm thinking about how to use them accordingly.

 

"As a life-saving team, I have to be the first to get to the injured who need help."

"Yes."

"But they might be physically far away."

"Yes."

"Maybe there's a bad guy next to the injured person."

"Well, yes."

"Then you have to train your body."

"I'm sorry, it's magical, isn't it? Did I miss one of them?"

 

Unconsciously, we were talking about training.

I think it's okay because it's not a mistake, but Mr./Ms. Furana won't be convinced by it.

 

"In other words, Usato's new skills and physical training are being used to ensure that he can save those who need help...... That's what you mean, isn't it

"Yes, that's right, Mr./Ms. Furana, it looks like Kazuki said everything I wanted to say."

"It's an absolute lie......

 

As I was looking away from Mr./Ms. Flana who was looking at me with jito eyes, a small black animal suddenly jumped on my shoulder.

Normally, I'd think it would be Nea, but now she's training with Ferm in the dormitory, so it's different.

With its fluffy fur and slightly scruffy ears, it was Rose's pet, a rare monster called the Noir Rabbit.

 

"Kyu"

"Kukuru, didn't you go to the leader?"

 

He strokes Kukuru's chin with his fingers, which has followed him so far on a whim.

Is it a gesture that fascinates people? The first person to react to Kukuru, who naturally did so and narrowed his eyes, was Mr./Ms. Furana.

 

"What's that kid so cute?"

"You better be careful, this kid has a good personality."

"Kyu"

"I'm really selling it to you!?"

 

I've been so fond of her that I've been fooled by her.

 

"Oh, come on......

 

Somewhat surprised, Mr./Ms. turned her hand at Kukuru, who stared at her hand and with a small leap she used Mr./Ms.'s hand as a scaffold and crossed it to Kazuki's shoulder.

 

"Wow, haha, what a ticklish......"

"Kyu ♪"

 

Kazuki seems to be tickled by Kukuru who rubs his cheeks.

Mr./Ms. Furana, who watches Kukuru and Kazuki's exchange without saying a word, senses an intuitive danger.

 

"Hey, Usato! Isn't that kid bad personality!?"

"Kukuru can only be obedient to the Lord, the leader.

"Kyu"

 

At the sound of my voice, Kukuru comes back to me.

He sighs lightly as he checks Kukuru who has jumped on his shoulder.

 

"I look obedient to you."

"Hahaha, that's just how it looks."

 

I'm scared because I don't know what I'm thinking in my stomach.

Then, Kazuki looks at Mr./Ms., who is still exchanging opinions.

 

"I'm glad you're getting better, Welsey."

"Were you depressed before?"

"Oh, we've decided to stay in this world."

 

…… Oh I see?

Then you gave Welsey Mr./Ms. a hard time.

He promised to return us to our original world, but none other than us refused to return to our original world.

 

「…… Usato, have you heard that you might be able to send a letter to the original world?"

"No, it's the first time I've heard of it...... Really?"

"In theory, it's just a story, maybe it's a different time, maybe it's a different world."

 

It's just a possibility, Kazuki continues, and I suddenly think about it.

...... letters to the original world.

If you could send it, what would you write?

 

"If you write honestly, it's going to be hard."

"Well, I guess so...... I think it's best not to write the reason for his absence, just to say goodbye."

 

If you write that you were summoned to another world and fought the Demon Lord, you would definitely think that you lost your sanity.

Here, as Kazuki says, it's best to write only the parting words.

 

"Speaking of which, has Kazuki heard about Senpai yet?"

"Oh, you mean you want to join the rescue team? Then I heard it."

"It's a very good idea, isn't it?"

 

Senpai seems to have already spoken to Mr./Ms. Kazuki and Furana.

At this rate, I wonder if Celia is listening.

 

"I don't think so," he said, "because life in the castle didn't seem to suit me so well. …… Oh, no, I don't mean to be a bad word."

"You mean there's no formal atmosphere, right?"

"yes, something like that."

 

He nods to Kazuki who is followed by Mr./Ms. Furana.

I kind of understand.

In that sense, I think the rescue team is more suitable......

 

"Even if my seniors step down from the role of heroes, it doesn't change our relationship so far, so the truth is that I don't care that much."

"Certainly, it doesn't change that much just by changing where ...... live."

 

Just because a senior member of the rescue team joins the daily routine, it doesn't mean that the country they live in has changed.

Maybe I was thinking a little too hard.

 

"Besides, it's also true that it would be interesting for a senior to go to Usato."

"Oh, I know that."

"No, I don't know, do you?"

 

He said it with a very nice smile.

I'm scared of what Kazuki expects me to do, even if he says I'm funny.

Seeing the situation that Senpai and Usato were in, Kazuki was surprisingly enjoying it.
