While Mr./Ms. Usato's was stranded, I was heading to the camp where the Koga Mr./Ms. were with Mr./Ms. with Sia.

I'm worried that I've left Mr./Ms. alone alone.

To be honest, I wanted to fight with him, but I knew his intention was not to let Mr./Ms., who looked strange from my point of view, fight.

 

「…… Mr./Ms. Sia, I'm going to take a break."

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm just a little tired."

 

I always flew alone, so it was a little hard to fly with one person.

After making sure that I had flown a certain distance, I went down into the woods.

 

"This doesn't happen when Mr./Ms. Usato is using my magic......

 

Maybe this is also my characteristic of dark magic.

The power of the wearer is reflected in the cloak to some extent, so there must be many differences between when Mr./Ms. Usato is using it and when I use it.

 

"Usato ...... stranded alone."

"I'm sure he'll get through it."

 

Mr./Ms. didn't let us escape in one fell swoop, and he decided it was best to do so, so he took action.

Even if there are a lot of opponents, that person should be able to do something about it.

 

"I'll take a break and then I'll fly again, and I'll go straight Mr./Ms. Koga...... Once I meet up with my allies, I'll head to Mr./Ms.'s aid."

"Usato's friend"

 

Mr./Ms. muttered to herself, and she put her hand on her head.

…… I had a similar reaction while flying, but I'm a little worried.

 

"Oh, ......."

"Si, Mr./Ms....... Sia?"

"I'm sorry, I've been dizzy since I ran into ...... guys."

 

I still don't know Mr./Ms. very well.

I understand that they are in a harsh situation at the moment, but I don't know what to do or what to do for them.

 

"If we join, there will be Mr./Ms. healing wizards like Mr./Ms. Usato, so be patient until then......!"

 

Uluru Mr./Ms. might be able to do something about it.

However, Mr./Ms. Sia still kept her head down and uttered a pained voice.

 

"But there is also a sign of the devil ...... where we are headed."

"What! Does that mean you're ahead of the curve!?"

"No, no, those demons are still behind me...... Ugh."

 

Could it be that this is somehow psychologically affected in the same way as it was for me?

The other Kannagi Mr./Ms. was mentally unstable due to a terrifying dragon called the Evil Dragon...... Shea Mr./Ms. also .......

Anyway, you might want to calm this person down first.

 

"Slow down, breathe, it'...... going to be okay."

「…… Huh?"

"I know because I've had a similar experience."

 

I slowly approached her who was crouched on her knees and patted her back.

Then, something like a sphere of light rolls out of the bag that was slung over her shoulder.

She notices it as well as I do, and with trembling hands she picks it up from the ground.

 

"Why ...... this?"

"Shea Mr./Ms. that's ......."

 

A sphere that emits a warm light.

Among them is a familiar black vortex-like thing.

——— I take out the crystal that Mr./Ms. Usato gave me earlier, which contains the power of the Demon King, and compare it.

The vessel is different, but the black power inside is exactly the same.

 

"Could it be the Demon Lord's ......?"

"I don't know! There's no way I have anything like this!! Because this is ———."

 

Mr./Ms. Shea reveals her agitation.

It's not acting or lying, it's about her real embarrassment.

This is...... I wonder if it would be better to wait for Mr./Ms. ...... Usato.

I feel like it's really bad to take Shea Mr./Ms. with her as it is...... join us.

 

"No, I'm not...... I don't know, but...... Oh, ......."

 

Staring at the sphere and stopping moving?

Returning the light to her voiceless and seemingly hollow eyes for a moment, she stepped back, her voice trembling.

 

"It was me......

"What......?"

"Did I steal this from ...... devil? I did it myself, so why did I forget ......? Hahaha? Did I finally go crazy? I don't want ...... anymore."

 

I don't really know what's going on.

The situation is similar to that of Mr./Ms. Kannagi.

The other Kannagi Mr./Ms. who had admonished me and invited me to the ruins refused to talk to Mr./Ms. Usato——— and after incoherent behavior ended up fighting with him.

Shea's current Mr./Ms. is very close to the way Kannagi Mr./Ms. was distraught at that time.

 

「…… You're going there now, aren't you?"

 

That doesn't mean we should just leave it like this.

I know because I've been through the same thing.

It's very scary and painful to be alone.

 

"Oh, don't come close!"

"Huh?"

 

As I slowly approached him, Mr./Ms. stopped me in a strong tone.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw her forcibly suppressing her right hand with her left hand, which was about to reach for the sword at her waist.

 

"I'm sorry...... I don't want to hurt you......! If you let your guard down, I'll try to take away his power by force......!!"

 

Is it because he has the power of the Demon King that he ...... reacting?

 

"I'm going to get out of here, and you're going to be safe as soon as possible......

"What about Mr./Ms. shea...... What are you going to do?"

「…… I don't know, but I'm leaving here so as not to bother you."

 

You can't leave this person alone.

That's absolutely not good.

But I can't stop him...... But that doesn't mean you can't do anything.

 

"Mr./Ms. Sia."

"Before I do anything to you, I'......."

"I'm not going to stop, so wait a minute."

「…… Huh?"

 

He looks at the fragments of the Demon Lord's power that he took out to compare.

Trapped in the crystal, I lightly gripped it, turned around and threw it away as soon as I could.

 

"Eeeeeeee

"yes, yes!?"

「…… Okay."

 

For the time being, he tosses the crystal containing the fragment of the Demon Lord's power, which is poisonous to the eye, out of sight, and approaches her.

Mr./Ms. Sia looks alternately at the flying crystal and at my face in confusion.

 

"What? What? Huh?"

 

Kneeling in front of her bewilderment, I pull out a spare bottle of food and water from my cloak and pack it into the large backpack I had been told to carry beforehand.

 

"Take this, it contains food and water."

"So, but ......."

"I can't stop you, because that's all I can do for you when you......re suffering."

 

I was hungry and my clothes were in tatters.

The blanket and cloak I had with me in case of emergency...... Anyway, I'm going back to the city after this, so I'm going to pack everything I can.

 

"Thank you, Keira...... I want you to tell Usato...... I'm sorry."

"If I say something like saying goodbye in this lifetime, Mr./Ms. will get angry, won't you?"

 

While talking to him, he hands it to Mr./Ms. Sia as if to press it.

She took the backpack in both hands and finally smiled.

 

"I'm sure Mr./Ms. will go and help you."

「…… yes."

"Don't give up, maybe...... No, he's never going to give up."

「…… Thank you."

 

Mr./Ms. stands up and disappears into the forest with her backpack in her hand.

After seeing her off, I took a deep breath and picked up the crystal that contained the power of the Demon King that I had thrown earlier.

 

"Hold tight, ...... me."

 

I'm worried about Mr./Ms. Sia, but I'm sure I did what I could.

Actually, there could have been a better way...... I'll reflect on it later.

 

"I have to join Koga Mr./Ms. first!!"

 

Mr./Ms. Usato may still be fighting!!

If...... No, by any chance, you may be in a pinch!

In order to help him in such a situation, I must join Koga Mr./Ms. as soon as possible! !!

 

"As soon as it ——— decided."

"Okay, I've caught up!!"

"Kyaaaaaaa

 

The moment he was about to jump up, he screamed at Mr./Ms. Usato, who appeared through the bushes from behind.

Eh, yes yes!?

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato!? What about the pursuers!?"

"It's okay! I don't think they will chase me because I blew them away with healing magic!!"

"Blow it away with healing magic!?"

 

No, no, it's not strange that this person blows his opponent away with healing magic.

The problem is that even though he is surrounded by 11 enemies, he is still not seriously injured.

Or rather, I ran normally and got caught up...... Even if you think about it calmly, aren't you doing something ridiculous ......?

 

"A fake disguised as the devil...... It's not. yes, no way."

"Why did you agree so quickly......?"

 

There is no way to express that you can blow away an opponent with healing magic other than this person.

In that sense, it can be said that Mr./Ms. Usato in front of me is definitely the real thing.

But.......

 

"I feel like I understand a little bit of how Amako Mr./Ms. feel."

「…… Whew."

"It's no laughing matter, is it?"

"Hi ......"

 

I didn't mean to blame him, but he apologized.

Mr./Ms., who has become depressed, thinks that she should not do it, and deflects the topic while misleading.

 

"Anyway, I'm glad I was able to join you safely!!"

"I'm glad you're safe, Sia...... Didn't you make it in time......

「…… Yes."

 

Mr./Ms. must have sensed this, but the absence of Sia Mr./Ms. around gave him a serious expression.

For the time being, I crawl into my cloak and become obsessed with Mr./Ms. Usato, and I tell him about my previous exchange with Mr./Ms..

 

"Does that mean she unconsciously had a fragment of the Demon King's power......?"

"Possibly."

「…… Training has been canceled."

 

Mr./Ms. Usato, who had been listening silently while flying through the sky, muttered softly.

 

"I'm going to stop as soon as I get there, even though it's before sunrise right now......

"I know it's urgent...... At worst, I sleep in my cloak, so don't worry.'

"That's similar to Ferm's magic, isn't it......

 

The same thing with Mr./Ms.'s assimilation?

…… Hmmm.
