The comfort of the future beastman country that I didn't know wasn't so bad.

No, if you think about my life so far, I think it's safe to say that I've been able to live a surprisingly calm life.

Amako's mother, Mr./Ms., accepted me with open arms, and the people of Hinomoto were kind to me.

…… Occasionally, every time a student comes to receive the teachings of the Kannagi style, I end up writhing inwardly, but other than that, I am pleasant———、

 

"Kanoko-sama is gone again!"

"You shouldn't be far yet!"

"Where is it this time!? I was there a while ago!?"

 

I wish I didn't have this.

As I was relaxing on the veranda with a cup of tea in the sunlight, I heard such a hurried voice from the servants in the mansion.

 

"It's peaceful."

"Kannagi, don't escape reality and go find your mother, Mr./Ms.."

「…… Uh-huh."

 

Amako calls out to me from behind while escaping reality.

Nodding helplessly to her, who is getting used to it and getting ready to go outside, I get up from the porch.

Mr./Ms. regularly goes out for walks.

It's not like she's going to go out, she's just going for a stroll in the neighborhood, but it's hard for her to go out because she's been in a coma for a long time and isn't very strong.

 

"It's been that way before, but it's really ...... now."

 

Moreover, it is not an aftereffect of many years of coma, but simply the original problem.

To tell you the truth, she looks exactly like my sister.

 

"My sister was like a girlfriend Mr./Ms., she had a bubbly personality that didn't get into fights...... He was also the kind of person who would disappear as soon as you took your eyes off him."

"Heredity from my ancestors ......!?"

"Uh, uh, well...... That's going to happen......

 

Although they may be the same in terms of bloodline, Amako looks pretty solid.

I wonder if your father had more influence on your personality.

While going out into the city to look for Mr./Ms., she continues the conversation.

 

"Kannagi's sister Mr./Ms....... What were your ancestors like?"

"Hmm, he was a kind person, he cared about me when I was fighting, and it was my sister Mr./Ms. who organized the beastmen who were freed from slavery at that time."

 

He was also the one who tried to change the environment of the Beastman tribe in a different way than fighting.

If I showed the power of the Beastmen by force, it would not be an exaggeration to say that my sister Mr./Ms. was holding the Beastmen together with her will.

 

「…… Was it painful?"

"Hmm? What?"

"When I woke up, everything I knew had changed."

「……」

 

To be honest, I was shocked.

If I could, I wanted to see my sister happy, and I also wanted to see the world alive after defeating the Demon Lord.

 

"It was hard, but I'm still having fun."

 

The present I am standing now.

It can be said that it is a future that Hisago has realized through a series of miracles that he never imagined.

I'm sure that stupid hero thought that there were only two choices: the Demon King would win and humanity would lose, or the Demon King would die and humanity would win.

That's why I want to ridicule it so much.

There is a more hopeful future here and now than the damn ideal future you envisioned.

 

"Hinomoto, the Ringle Kingdom, and the Rescue Team are like home to me, and I sometimes think back to the past, but I don't think I ever wish I could go back to those days."

「…… That's it."

 

For me, it's over.

From now on, you just have to live your life the way you want.

 

"So, isn't it hard to be single all the time?"

"Suddenly the question became painful?"

 

Did you come to my heart by surprise?

I've only been living for 18 years, but it's relatively painful because the years that have passed are too much......

 

"Uh, uh, that ......."

"It's okay, I know."

 

No, I'm aware that it's easy to understand.

Why is she so young than me?

 

「…… I think Usato is subconsciously avoiding taking his thoughts in that direction because he fills his thoughts with missions and training."

"Ah, I see, there are a lot of things that need to be done."

"yes, that's why I've recently realized that it's not just insensitivity."

 

Usato always had some kind of mission on his back.

The first war is a mission as a lifesaver to help people.

The journey to deliver letters is a mission as an emissary of the Ringle Kingdom.

The journey to defeat the Demon King is also to end the battle...... This time, he was sent to the Demon Lord's Territory because of the mission he declared in the battle against the Demon King, "standing between humans and demons".

When you think about it, it's easy to understand that he doesn't have time to be in love with the present.

 

"Even if you leave that part out, it's still dull."

"Aha......"

"If you take your eyes off it, it's attracting something weird."

「……」

 

This time, a dry smile did not leak out.

It was an undeniable fact.

 

"I've already given up on the fact that Usato is a person."

"Oh, I gave up."

"Because, if you go back to Omoto, it's not Usato's fault in the first place."

 

Indeed, it is.

There are times when I need help, like the other me, and most of the time I have to make a decision because Usato has to help.

Rather than being prone to commotion, I think it's correct to say that we are currently in a position and situation where commotion is likely to occur.

 

「! …… I found it."

"That's how it is."

 

Seeing the scene where he found Mr./Ms. Kanoko with precognitive magic.

About ten seconds later, I spotted her walking with a man at the end of an alley.

 

"Oh, Amako, did you come looking for me?"

"Well, it looks like you were walking around without saying anything, ...... at all."

 

Mr./Ms. Kanoko, who walked in the form of being sent to Hayate, the chief of Hinomoto, smiled softly apologetically.

Why is Mr./Ms. Hayate here?

Noticing my gaze, he pulled out a letter from his pocket with a wry smile.

 

"I received a letter from Usato, addressed to you and me."

"Huh, from Usato?"

"What do you mean?" Mr./Ms. Hayate?"

 

Amako asks him if he's worried about it too, grabbing Mr./Ms.'s tail so he doesn't run away.

I'm sure he had a contract with Hayate Mr./Ms. at Hoobard through a personal connection...... That's true? He should be in the Demon Lord's Realm right now, so it's safe to assume that he's sent me a call from there.

 

"What is directed at me is asking for permission to join you with Usato, who is in the Demon Realm."

「…… Something happened, didn't it?"

"The details are written here, and I have read them...... Well, it would be quicker for you to see it in person."

 

Open the sentence given to you by Mr./Ms. Hayate and read through the text.

Certainly, from Usato.

The content is .......

 

"———."

"Kannagi ......?"

 

The hand holding the letter is full of strength.

Speechless at the unbelievable content, I stepped back with dizziness and was supported by Mr./Ms. Kanoko.

 

"What's the matter? Hayate-kun, don't show Nagi-chan anything weird, okay?"

"No, no, why am I being blamed here? …… Do you understand the situation?"

 

I nod at Mr./Ms.'s voice.

Things could be much worse than I imagined.

 

●

 

I encountered a girl with Mr./Ms.'s memories and magic.

Her name is Sia Garmio.

You may be so overwhelmed by your memories that you may not even be able to make a calm decision.

The devil is also after her, and it is a dangerous situation.

We may need your help.

 

●

 

That old man Mr./Ms. reluctant to leave something more troublesome in this era than anything else this time.

Neither memory nor magic is absolutely necessary, so how can it be imprinted on an unrelated girl?

At least the Hisago I knew wasn't such a shallow idiot...... It should be.

 

"I'm going to join up with Usato."

「…… Endorsement. However, in order to enter the Demon Lord's Realm from Hinomoto, you must pass through the Demon Realm. I don't have to worry about your ability, but I'll make you prepare accordingly, so please wait for a while."

 

Sia Garmio...... I want to join up with Usato, for her safety, but I can't afford to be in a hurry to cause an unforeseen situation, so let's wait and calm down first.

 

"Then Amako is with you."

"'Hmm!?'"

 

Kanoko's Mr./Ms.'s remarks strangely overlap with Hayate'Mr./Ms.'s voice.

Amako looks up at her with jito eyes while being held in Kanoko's arms from behind by Mr./Ms..

 

"No, it's only Kannagi who was called."

"I'm sure Usato-kun needs you too."

"What is the basis for that......?"

"It's my mother's gut feeling."

"I couldn't believe it all at once......

"Huh?"

 

Mr./Ms. Kanoko still keeps smiling at Amako, who is nervous.

…… Well let's see.

 

"No, let's go with Amako."

"What, and Kannagi?"

"I can count on you to have a strong clairvoyant magic, but if I leave you alone in Hinomoto, it will be difficult to return to the Ringle Kingdom, right?"

"That's true, though."

 

Although public perception is changing, the position of the beastmen remains unstable.

It would be too uneasy to have Amako go all the way from Hinomoto to the Ringle Kingdom, and Amako wouldn't want to make such an exaggerated trip with the help of Miarak or other countries.

In that case, it would be quicker for me to go to the Demon Lord's Territory, complete the dispatch in two months, and return with Usat and the others back to the Ringle Kingdom.

 

"Originally, we were planning to return to the Lingle Kingdom after two months, so you would be okay with that, wouldn't you?"

「…… If it's not annoying. I get it."

"It's a demon realm...... yes, there are two clairvoyant wizards, and above all, I'm very strong, so I'll be fine."

"I know that, I suspect you're stronger than Usato."

 

I don't know what it is, but I can't help but feel like I'm being treated as an outsider when Usato is cited.

No, I'm not treating Usato as a monster.

…… Anyway, I ended up joining Usato and the others in the Demon Lord's Domain...... Hisago's guy is really superfluous.

Maybe I should have hit him when I could.

Hayate and the others are swayed by Kanoko Mr./Ms., who often goes out.

Then, Kannagi and Amako were scheduled to join Usato.
