Shortly after the sun rose, Nea returned to her men.

From now on, she will be in charge of their diversion and to some extent control their behavior.

…… Well, instead of asking her to listen to me, I made a promise that I would listen to her to some extent.

I have to carry out the mission that the Demon King asked me to do, so I take out the luggage I packed.

 

"I'll take it into my cloak."

"Thank you, Keira."

 

Kira, who had not changed her mind after one night, decided to accompany me on my mission.

I didn't want to take him to a dangerous place if I could...... It's not a good idea to ignore this child's will.

It's just that I have to do everything in my power to protect this child.

 

"Koga, if I don't come back......

"Oh, the exercise is canceled, I, Nea, I'm going to check on Uluru."

"And I'm going to report it to the Demon Lord, yes, yes, I know."

 

Mr./Ms. tosses up and says without hiding her grumpiness when she wakes up.

Maybe it's low blood pressure, but I feel like my eyes are fixed on my mind.

 

"Well, I can't imagine what if, as far as you're concerned, and I'm not even sure you're going to die in the first place."

"Oh, that's a terrible thing to say...... I'm in a lot of trouble, right......?"

"Hey, tell me who you're going to be in that situation."

 

　……。

 

"Evil Dragon, Curse of Samariar, Runaway Dragonman, Koga, Leader, Nero Mr./Ms., Nagi Mr./Ms., Amira Mr./Ms., Demon King"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really a pimp......"

"Usato-kun, you fought all the legion commanders in a row in the previous battle......"

"It's definitely a pinch, it's just that the opponent is ugly."

 

No, Koga, don't forget that you're in that frame too......!!

Looking back, I realized that I was only fighting with ridiculous people.

 

"In the first place, I have to rely on the support of my peers, so there is only so much I can do on my own."

「……」

"No, can you please stop looking at me like 'what are you talking about, kid?'"

 

I was looked at as if I were looking at a bare and unbelievable creature.

 

"Hey, I'll support Mr./Ms. Usato this time, so leave it to me!!"

"Yes, I'm counting on you, but don't be rash."

"Yes......!!"

 

…… I wonder if it's okay?

He's got a lot of ability, but you have to make sure you don't rely on him.

Kira creates a cloak of dark magic, and when I put it on her, she herself slips into the cloak. After that, I put my bag in my cloak and get ready to go.

 

"Be careful, Usato-kun."

"Yes, Uluru should also Mr./Ms.stay as far away from Koga and Hannah Mr./Ms. as possible. Bullin also asked for Uluru Mr./Ms.?"

"Grr

 

A squeak that seems to be an affirmation of Bulllin.

Unless there is still a reason, he is the usual bulllin who does not let his seniors or Uluru Mr./Ms. touch his body, but when he does, he does it well.

 

"Then let's go, Keira."

"Yes!"

"Come on!"

 

While waving back to Mr./Ms. who waves his hand widely, he flies through the air and leaves the place.

 

"Is the destination far away?"

"No, it's not that far away."

 

At the very least, it's close enough to affect the exercise site.

I was actually going to run and travel, but it would be easier if I could go while checking the location from the sky.

 

"If you're traveling from the air, you can't go in the wrong direction, and you'll arrive quickly."

"It's a place where poison spreads, isn't it?"

"It's a toxic spell to be exact, so it has to be my healing magic...... We'll have to check it out on site."

 

Wear a cloak and fly over the forest.

When I run, I feel like I'm moving my body, but this one is like moving at my will.

And if you want to, you can let Keira move through the air.

 

"You seem to be able to face your own magic."

"Yes! It was magic that I hated at first...... After the events of that ruin, I was able to change the way I faced it. This magic is my own.'

 

Dark magic is like a mirror.

Reflect the emotions of the surgeon and use those emotions as abilities.

 

"That's why I'm glad that Mr./Ms. lied to me at that time."

"I didn't want to lie too much......

"Ehehe"

 

Keira smiles happily, and I naturally smile too.

…… Oops.

 

"I can see it."

"What......

 

The scenery below changes from a forest to a wasteland.

The lush nature has been replaced by decaying land, and purple smoke is gushing out of the earth instead.

 

"Is that your destination?"

「…… It's a little further down the road. It's still not poisonous here."

 

Fortunately, the poison has not reached the sky...... The earth is no longer habitable.

If you smoke that poison for a long time, it will probably be fatal.

 

"It's creepy, isn't it?"

"Ah, let's get some errands done and get out of here."

 

As you fly a little in the air, the poisonous smoke that spews out from the ground gradually thickens.

They cover the ground like a thick fog, and when I can't see below, I stop in mid-air.

 

"I don't think it's possible to find it from the sky, Keira."

"You're going down, aren't you?"

"If you feel unwell, tell me right away."

"Yes."

 

…… Good.

As he slowly descends to the surface, he wears healing magic that has been diluted in concentration due to phylogenetic degradation.

The poisonous mist was neutralized by the magic of healing magic...... I don't have any physical problems.

It seems that this healing magic can also neutralize poisons.

 

"Keira, are you okay?"

"There is nothing unusual about it! Ah, but the effect of the healing magic has reached me on the inside, so I'm feeling rather good!"

"Well, then, I'll keep going."

"Yes!"

 

Is it through healing magic without passing through harmful things?

After all, dark magic is amazing......

For the time being, it doesn't seem to be a problem for activities, so I'll try to explore the land where poison spreads while wearing a cloak as it is.

 

"According to the Demon Lord, there is a possibility that the concentration of poison is in a place where the concentration ...... thick."

"Then it would be better to go to a place where the fog is thick, and if you get lost, you can just fly over again."

"That's right."

 

Thanks to Keira, things seem to go smoothly.

On a decaying earth where not a single blade of grass grows, the ground is a poisonous color.

As I stroll around the place that feels like the end of the world, I talk to Keira.

 

"I'm here to retrieve the fragments of power that the previous hero took from the Demon Lord."

"A fragment of power?"

"Yes, its overpowering force has a bad effect on the earth. That's the danger zone where this poison spreads."

 

At this point, I'll have to explain it to Keira.

You can trust this kid, and most importantly, let him know what you're going to retrieve.

 

"I didn't know there was such a place in the Demon Kingdom."

"It seems to be a place that people rarely go to."

『…… Could it be that the Demon King Territory has gone crazy......

「…… It's just as you imagined."

 

The purpose of the previous hero is a test for the future.

As part of this, he buried the power he had stolen from him in the land of the Demon King in order to weaken the power of the Demon King and the power of the Demon Clan.

…… I think he could have done more, but I'm not in a position to say anything to him at the time.

The treatment and suffering he suffered must have been more painful than I can imagine.

 

"Whew."

"What's wrong? Mr./Ms. Usato?"

 

At that moment, I heard the sound of iron beating against each other somewhere not far away.

Battle sounds? In a place where such a poisonous mist prevails?

He reflexively senses the magic that radiates out of the scene as he runs out of the place.

 

"Keira! Ready for battle!!"

"Oh, yes!!"

 

He tosses the unfolded gauntlet forward while creating a healing magic bullet.

The healing spell landed on the ground far beyond the dense fog, scattering particles around ——— four shadows.

 

「…… Four people!? Three people are attacking one person!?"

 

Moreover, one of the three of them has something like wings.

The shape of this wing, remember!!

 

"The devil!!"

 

Oh, it's bad, the person being attacked is coughing on his knees!

Was it affected by poison?! If you don't treat it quickly, you will lose your life!

- A ...... that wears a magical power that gives elasticity to the legs and jumps out like a rocket together with the healing acceleration fist!

 

"Let me rub my hands!!"

"Haha, goho...... ......

"I'll stab you in the end!!"

 

What caught my eye was a bad-looking demon from Gala and two demons with inorganic eyes.

And the red-and-black-haired "she" who kneels in front of them and vomits blood is ———、Shea!

Why is she here, who should have been in Mialak!?

No, more than that!!

 

"Let me do it!!"

"Guha!?"

 

For the time being, he beats the demon who tries to stab him with a sword with a wavy shape, but with a healing elastic fist.

Immediately, two women who appear to be demons who have been fighting together try to make a move, but one of them is blown away by the cloak that Kira has stretched.

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato!!"

"Thank you, Keira!!"

 

He repels the attacks of the female demon tribe who attacks him with a knife without even glancing at his blown comrades.

…… These people are the same as the Owl Mr./Ms. ......!

 

"You guys!! How much do you have to play with people's lives to get rid !!?"

 

Magical power gathers in the palm that is pointed at you.

At the same time as recognizing the black, shadowy magic power, he overlays his left hand ——— counteracts it by hitting him with the same amount of magical power.

 

「!!!?」

「…… Is it dark magic?"

 

To the demon tribe, black magic power...... He has dark magic.

If you are someone who has been forcibly brought back to life like Mr./Ms. and the others, poor adjustment is meaningless.

He grabs his palm back and uses his strength to prevent him from escaping, and then wraps his free right arm with magic.

 

"Healing Instant Fist!!"

 

When she stops moving, she shoots a shockwave of healing magic at the same time as the bottom of her palm.

The female demon tribe, which received two shocks at the same time, was blown into the depths of the dense fog by involving the other who tried to get up.

 

"Usato Mr./Ms., that person......"

「…… He's a dark wizard."

 

A resurrected dark wizard like Mr./Ms. and the others.

If you look closely, you can see that they are twins or something, judging from their appearance.

If that's the case, it's possible that the other one is also a dark wizard...... First of all, I have to prioritize Sia, who is suffering from poison.

 

"Oh, ......."

"Don't talk! I'll help you now!!"

 

Injury...... I don't know.

He is vomiting blood due to the effects of the poison, but he can also be healed quickly with healing magic.

 

"Whew."

 

He picks up Shea and flies away from him.

The next moment, the sword swung by the devil slammed into the place where we were.

 

"Why, Temeje is here!" Healing Wizard!!"

"That's the line, why is the devil here?"

 

In response to my question, the devil of a man who seems to be rough growls and glares at me.

I'd like to hear why Shea is here, but first let's do something about this demon.

He lifted Shea up in his arms, wrapping him in a cloak and freed his hands while casting a healing spell.

 

"Wow......"

 

If you move too hard, it will put a strain on the shea.

Circulating the magic throughout my body, I calmed my breathing, and slowly raised my fists——— releasing a refined healing sense due to the degradation of the system.

 

"Come on, I'll deal with you."

"I ...... the healing wizard atmosphere!!"

 

I saw that the two demon tribes that had been manipulated to surround me from three directions had moved, and I braced myself.

Fighting while sheltering the wounded.

I don't have any neas to support me all the time.

Kira is still inexperienced in combat, and she can't force herself.

It's not a flattering situation, but if there are still injured people to protect, this situation must be ...... through!
