I was able to join Kira safely, but by then Shea was already gone.

I knew she was mentally unstable, so it wasn't like I couldn't have predicted the situation...... The fact that he was unable to do something about Shea's situation here may reverberate later.

…… First of all, report to the Demon Lord.

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato, that!"

"Ah, the Koga."

 

When the sky brightened slightly, Kira and I finally arrived at the place where the Kougas were camping.

Bulllin was the first to notice our approach, and Koga, who was on guard, noticed us as we descended to the ground.

 

"Oh, welcome back, did you get it safely?"

"Grr

"Oh."

「…… Hmmm? Oh, welcome back Usato-kun."

 

It seems to have caused Mr./Ms. Mr./Ms. Uluru and Hannah.

Mr./Ms., who is in a very bad mood when she wakes up, glares at me with her eyes sharper than ever.

 

"C'mon, what's the point, are you unharmed......"

"Not long ago, I was stranded fighting 11 enemies."

"Why are you unharmed......?"

 

- A ...... who was pulled over with a bare bare after being cursed.

I'd like to talk slowly, but I have to hurry now.

 

"Koga, I'm going to finish my training, I'm going to hurry back to the city."

"Hmm? I don't mind, but does it have anything to do with what I was talking about earlier?"

"Oh, there's a demon at your destination. Once you think you've repelled them, 11 of them ambush you, ......."

"Hey, what's wrong?"

 

For the time being, he asks Kira's cloak to step away and briefly explains to Koga.

 

"I let the kid I met at the destination escape and was stranded."

"Oh, I don't understand why you're arriving with Keira when you're supposed to be stranded?"

"I blew my opponent away with a healing spell, and then I ran to catch up with him."

"I thought so."

"Koga-kun!? I think it's too weird to accept normally, but this person!!"

 

If he wanted to, Koga would be able to do the same thing as me.

He's steadily copying my skills.

Anyway.

 

"You were able to recover the power of the Demon King, right?"

"Oh...... Keira"

"Yes!"

 

Kira, who was floating in the air, takes out a crystal containing the power of the Demon King from her cloak.

He takes it from Kira and shows it to Koga and the others.

 

"The fact that he has this guy means he's in a hurry to come back for a reason."

"Yes...... To be honest, I need to report it to the Demon King and Falga-sama in a hurry."

"Is that it......

 

Oh, and Mr./Ms. Nagi.

It's not normal for a girl to have Mr./Ms.'s memories and powers.

Considering his power, it is not surprising that it will be difficult later on.

 

"I'm going to stop the exercise now, so take this."

"Oh...... Also, I'm talking about those guys in training......

"Hmm?"

 

Did something happen?

I know that no one was injured or anything, as I saw that he wasn't in a hurry.

 

"Maybe you've noticed that there aren't any demons."

「…… Wow."

"On top of that, they're waiting for you."

 

I see.

Does that mean you're inviting me or Koga?

It's like they're trying to see through the perception that we've created a ferocious beast and trap me and Koga on top of that.

 

"If you didn't come, I was going to go...... What are you going to do?"

「……」

 

It was designed to reduce the consumption of magic power by applying system degradation, but it was moderately depleted.

It's an all-nighter, so I'm reasonably sleepy.

But physically, I don't have any problems at all, so I can ———.

 

"Then I'll go check the results of the exercise."

"Well, we're going to watch from here."

"Be careful, Usato-kun."

 

After nodding to Mr./Ms. and Keira who wave at him, he jumps off the cliff and into the forest.

I'll have to hurry back to the city, but please allow me to see the results of this exercise.

I was looking forward to seeing them grow.

 

●

 

There was a kind of discomfort.

A monster that screams but doesn't attack.

A battle cry that echoes at regular intervals.

And the best part is that there is a clear difference in the appearance of the magical beasts that we have witnessed.

If you say that the fangs are short, then someone says that the fangs were long.

If you say that there were horns, they say that there were no horns anywhere.

At this point of discrepancy, we finally realized that we were making a big mistake.

 

「……」

 

Perhaps Usato's purpose is to enter the realm of demons.

It's not normal, either.

They are making them do things that they don't understand the meaning of fighting not real monsters, but fantasy monsters of their own making.

What's wrong with that is that I didn't notice his intentions until ——— more than a week had passed, and I was mentally drained.

 

"Just because you notice it doesn't mean it's ......!!"

 

I'm sure Usato thinks that it doesn't matter if he is aware of the purpose of this training or not.

Whichever way you fall, it will be the result of your training.

Frustratingly, this training makes sense.

We had certainly been familiar with the monsters, and we had assumed that we would be able to complete the survival exercises without difficulty.

It's safe to say that he was optimistic.

That has now been shattered.

 

"It's a terrible way to do it, but ......!!"

 

Let's be honest.

- It is a state of mind that makes the intestines boil over and over again when it goes as Usato's intentions.

Is it okay to finish the exercise normally?

Definitely not.

 

"You guys! That rotten outside...... Don't you want to show the captain the results of the exercise?!"

""Oooooooo!!""

 

The first thing I did immediately after was to motivate my former colleagues and new recruits who were fascinated by muscle and training.

I'm going to get him on board and get him to blow a bubble, and then I'm going to add Vina and Nono.

 

"Nono, if you let Usato recognize the results of the exercise, you will see Sean again!!"

"Shouton!!"

 

Is that a shout that makes you feel good?

Pull lightly on Nono, who has smashed firewood with a hand sword.

Thanks to the physical modification of training, I can no longer feel uncomfortable that I can do it so easily.

 

"Hey pervert"

"Yes?"

"Cooperate with us."

"Huh."

 

When it comes to Vina, it's the easiest to deal with.

Because this guy is a pervert.

What kind of kettle is it to unite everyone's heart? In a short time, we devised a plan and disappeared into the woods as hunters who trap their prey, as if inviting either Koga or Usato.

They will be aware of our intentions and will take advantage of our provocations.

 

"Nya"

"Anyway, if I don't blow a bubble on them, I can't fit ......!!"

 

As night fell and the sun gradually rose.

Vena and I had climbed to the top of a tall tree and were in ambush.

He strokes the chin of Rin, a black cat with a two-tailed tail on his shoulder, to keep his composure, but to be honest, he's nervous.

 

"Veena"

"I haven't had a reaction yet."

 

He calls out to Veena, who is emitting light pink magic from her hands like smoke to the ground.

The pink magic emitted from her eyes closed becomes transparent as if it dissolves in the air.

 

「…… I wonder how long it took me to be able to sense magic."

"It's only been a while since I've been in this forest, but I can't do it while I'm moving."

 

I just found out that this guy had acquired a technique that can be acquired by magic, magic sensing.

 

"Usato doesn't do it normally."

"Maybe this magic sensing isn't meant to be used that way."

"Huh?"

"Nya"

 

Rin nodded enthusiastically.

Oh, it's cute, and I look at Vina while returning to myself for a moment.

 

"It's almost impossible to use this in conjunction with offensive magic, and even if you could, you'd have to be quite dexterous."

「…… He was a hand-to-hand combat."

 

I understand that it is difficult to have the consciousness of attacking with magic and the consciousness of sensing magic at the same time.

Usato's healing magic is a bonus...... Or rather, he's a bad guy who focuses on irregular hand-to-hand combat with the goal of eventually getting close and punching.

 

"It's simply that Mr./Ms. is skilled at manipulating magic in her body, and perhaps she is constantly circulating magic throughout her body to make magic more efficient."

「…… After all, it's a monster......

"I think one of the reasons is that we had the groundwork to make it possible."

 

It's not decent.

I'm curious what kind of idea you came up with to keep turning your magic.

…… I don't think it's a good training or something like that, right......? That's too crazy.

 

"Activate the circulation of magic power by turning magic and specialize your senses...... To be precise, it is a technology that awakens the potential of magic that has been dormant in our creatures?"

"I know it's amazing, but is it that much?"

"At least I don't know anyone who uses this kind of technology."

 

It's a way of saying things that have a lot of implications.

This guy really has that kind of thing.

 

「…… I was caught by sensing. It was Mr./Ms. Usato who came."

「! Then I'll give you a signal."

 

Float the stones you have picked up in advance in your palm and flip them away with the magic of the wind.

It hits a metal water bottle that was placed a short distance away, making a high-pitched sound as a signal to the friends waiting around it.

 

"I'm aware of the existence of the object, the sound, but I'm still moving forward, and I'm probably aware of my magic."

"After all, I've been on board......!!"

 

Then let's trap it to our heart......s heart's content!

Half-hearted attacks and individual attacks will deal with you.

 

"What are the requirements here......

 

Scoop up a large amount of stones packed in a backpack with the magic of the wind and float them.

Float them around and aim them with your fingertips.

 

"Whew, heh...... You just stuffed a lot of stones into my bag......!! I'm going to attack you with the way it's used ......!!"

"Nyaa~"

 

Expand the firing position in a fan shape so that the location is not lost in the direction of the flight, and then rotate to increase the hit power and speed.

——— a technique that I couldn't do before I trained for this hellish half month.

I'll show you what he taught me ......!

 

"Veena, thank you for reporting and coordinating directions."

"Got it."

 

I can't see him yet because of the branches and leaves of the tree, so I follow the instructions of the Veena in the direction of launching.

…… Besides, a half-hearted attack will be dealt with immediately.

There are literally no blind spots in the healing sensing he uses.

But———、

 

"Launch!!"

 

——— strafing with a long-range attack from outside the detection of magic power is a different story!

If the attack approaches almost at the same time, you can eliminate the advantage of his healing sense!

The gravel with the rotation flies in the direction where Usato is supposed to be.

The silence is followed by a continuous popping sound.

 

"It was all averted."

"It's expected."

 

The healing sense was crushed with a decoy called gravel.

Just as I was about ——— move on to the next move, something passed between me and Veena and crashed into a tree right behind me.

His throat twitches at the magic bullet that passed right next to his face.

 

"Caution!?"

"You seem to have noticed...... It's funny, the direction should have been misdirected. Oh, I'm going to run as fast as I can."

"That's intriguing, it's expected! Kevin! Nono!"

 

In a position where you can visually see it, you can see the figure of Usato, who is running on the ground at an incredible speed.

While suppressing the screams that are about to come out unconsciously, he orders the two people who were waiting in advance to start moving.

No reply.

However, when he approached a few tens of meters closer, he was hit by a magic bullet of water that was thrown at his feet.

 

"Oh, this is ...... of Nono Mr./Ms.."

 

Nono's magic is not ordinary water magic.

The magic of water systems with unusual properties that can create flammable water, close to oil.

Seeing the slippery ground, Usato stopped in his tracks when the roots of the tree stretched out like tentacles from under his feet.

The magic of manipulating Kevin's tree, and the magic of manipulating Nono's water.

Usato calmly dodges the attacks of the two who control magic from outside the range of healing sense.

 

"You stopped in your tracks...... Wool!!"

"Got it!"

 

Waiting nearby, Wol uses his earth magic to release a large number of gravels into the air.

I pick them up with my wind magic and release them all at once at Usato, who is floating and restricted from moving.

 

「……!! You're much tougher than the devil!!"

 

Usato, on the other hand, slammed his feet into the ground before wrapping a gauntlet around his right arm and his left arm with elastic magic as he prepared to attack the magic of gravel and wood.

 

「…… If it's a physical game, we're going to lose."

 

Still, it wouldn't be surprising if that healing magic monster surpassed us in its recovery and physical strength alone.

…… In the first place——— the flow of this series of operations is to nail Usato, who has an irrational amount of evasive power, to the spot, so the operation is proceeding smoothly.

 

"Thane! Now!!"

 

At the same time as I spoke, two arms burst out from under Usato's feet and grabbed his legs.

 

"I caught you! Captain!!"

"Thane Mr./Ms.......!? Whoa!?"

 

A different type of earth magic than wol.

Thane's magic, which turns the soil itself into mud and manipulates it, greatly restricts Usato's movements.

——— at this point, Nono, Kevin, Woll, Thane, and Veena have achieved their objectives.

And that's the end of the strategy I revealed to the five of them.

Here's myReal・・・It's the purpose.

 

"It's finally time...... isn't it?"

"Hmm, it's a good feeling of malice......

 

Gently handing Ryan Ryan on his shoulder so that he would not be in danger, he picked up the club he had made for this occasion.

Dressed in wind magic, I dare to charge at Usato, whose movement is still blocked.

He's distracted by the magic of stone and wood flying around him, even as his feet are caught on the ground.

 

"What, Elle Mr./Ms. what are you ——— doing?"

 

Nono, who was hiding in the bushes and emitting water magic, looks at us with scared eyes.

You seem surprised to see me making a move that is not in the plan, but this is my true plan!

 

"The only purpose of this operation is to make me beat up in the end!!"

"yes, yes!?"""

「!」

 

- At a stone's throw away, he notices my presence, but it's already too late!

The club has already approached his torso, and as a devastating blow, it slams into his body as it passes——— and is shaken off with surprising uncontrollability.

 

"What!?"

 

No, this isn't the feeling of hitting a guy with whole body muscles!

If you look at your hand, you will see something that looks like a cloth made of magic clinging to the club.

…… Elastic magical power! In the first place, the moment the piece of stick hits, I feel that Usato's body ...... doubled.

 

"Well done."

「…… Whew!"

"Healing Afterimage Fist, I never thought I would be forced to use a new technique so easily."

 

Usato himself was standing behind me, who was agitated before I knew it.

My voice trembles as I realize that my plan has failed.

 

「…… How do you ...... restraint?"

"I hit the ground and escaped."

 

If you look at where Usato's restraint was earlier, you can see a fist-sized hole in the muddy ground.

…… Isn't this guy funny after all......?

 

"I didn't think I was going to be able to get this far, I did a good job."

"Captain......"

"I'd like to praise you more, but the truth is that we have to hurry back to the city.

 

Yes! Kevin, who had a loud voice, began to prepare for his return.

Even if you hear that the training will end unexpectedly, you won't feel it.

 

「…… Whew."

 

A slightly tired-looking Usato, lightly loosening the collar around the neck of his uniform and letting out a sigh, he sees Rin coming down from the tree with Vina and running towards him.

 

"Oh, Lynn."

 

When I think about it, I might not have been able to maintain a decent mind without this child.

The operation itself ended in failure, but finding an ultra-cute angel named Rin couldn't have been a better achievement.

Conscious of her natural relaxation in her mouth, Rin squatted down to ———greet Rin as she came towards him, and as she passed me, Rin jumped on the shoulder of Usato, who was behind her.

 

"Hey, you've added a weird trick again, haven't you!?"

「…… Whew."

 

Eh, are you talking?

That? Why was Usato so surprised...... Missing?

While slapping Usato's cheek with his paws, Rin can't keep up with his thoughts as he begins to complain in human language.

 

"What the hell happened?"

"I guess I was attacked by the devil and the Owl Mr./Ms., and although I achieved my goal and I wasn't injured, it was a bit of a bad thing."

「…… I'll tell you later. Look, explain it to me sooner."

 

Usato looks at me as if he noticed me stunned.

Then, the moment Rin jumps off Usato's shoulder, she transforms into the form of a dark-haired, red-eyed girl who looks too familiar.

 

"I was asking Nair to keep an eye on you and support you."

"That's not all I've done...... Well, I'm sorry, aren't you?"

 

Nea, a vampire disguised as Rynn, smiles awkwardly and smiles wryly.

 

"I'm this person's familiar."

 

These guys are real demons.

- The shock of being betrayed by the existence that I had thought was cute and cute, and the fatigue caused me to do the bizarre thing of fainting while standing.

______________________________________

They were subordinates who showed teamwork that was more formidable than the devil.

It's also the time to unveil your own magic, but Nono's magic is plain, but it's quite strong in terms of ability.
