I'll never forget the first time I found Keira.

A black amorphous beast that protects that child who was crouching in front of the corpse of a demon that had been devoured.

Not hatred or anger, but a howl like a wolf in despair, he disfigured like mud and returned to the shadows...... I didn't feel alive when I was in front of it.

 

At a glance, I could tell that he was a dark wizard.

At the same time, I felt bad for myself for figuring out how such a young child could be in a nest of ferocious monsters, but I drove Kira to the village where her parents were.

 

"What the hell did you do......

"Why did you come back?!"

 

However, the words that came back from the child's parents were not warm words, but cruel ones.

"Sending the damn"

A bad habit of instilling lies into a dark wizard child who is in trouble and sending him to the monster's nest.

I know that dark wizards are dangerous, but I still can't abandon them.

If not only the land of this Demon King Territory, but also the heart is desolate, what will be left in the end? That's why I took Kira in and took her on my journey.

 

「…… But now, that's it."

 

Kira, who had shown an unstable side due to the frequent occurrence of dark magic on her journey, now has a smile and a cheerful appearance like a child of her age.

It's just dark magic...... No, I guess it was because I was able to face myself.

Thinking about this at the workplace he just got recently, he smiles a little.

 

"I didn't know he was really human."

 

I couldn't imagine that the demon tribe that saved me when I was attacked by a demon during my journey was a human who had been disguised as a demon tribe.

Later, when I asked Keira the truth, I was very surprised.

However, there was a part of me that was convinced.

My leg was almost bitten off by a monster, and his healing magic that healed it without a scar ——— now healed it with healing magic, but thanks to that, my leg is still working properly.

 

「…… Do you want to check on the rum and rosé?"

 

The two young children are in the care of a woman they met when they were finding a place to live in the city.

Keira, Ram, and Rose are also good friends, so I'm not a bad person, so I can work with peace of mind...... However, my worries have not changed, so I use my lunch break to check on the situation.

 

"Is Keira doing her best?"

 

Kira seems to be participating in the training that Usato's administers.

I'm too busy to go see how she's doing, but as far as I'm concerned, she seems to be having a meaningful time.

 

"It was amazing! We're all running around the city. I was riding on the back of Usato's Mr./Ms.'s back, but it was still fun!!"

 

There were some parts that didn't make sense, but it seemed to be fun.

The description of Usato's back as a blue grizzly back really doesn't make sense, but it's just that his vocabulary is messed up by the excitement.

 

"It's the first time I've been out at this time of day."

 

Walk out of the building where you work and out into the street.

After the final battle between the group of heroes and the Demon King's army, the Demon King City of Verhazar changed from a place of military power to a place where many of his compatriots were invited and developed.

As a result, the number of soldiers seen on the streets has decreased, and instead more people have been working to rebuild the city.

 

「…… Hmm? What's that?"

 

It's a lot of buzz around me.

Passers-by sense something and look in one direction.

When he looked ahead, a group of people wearing the same clothes jumped out from the corner.

 

""Huh-huh-huh-huh!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sigh!!"

"Don't pant in public! I'm going to punch you!!"

"Aba, Baba......"

 

Three men running with their breath and three women who are not normal at all.

And a little later, following from behind are people in training clothes who are running at full speed while looking like they are about to die.

The six people in front of them still look relaxed, but their expressions behind them have a demonic expression, as if they are being chased by a ferocious monster.

 

"Hey, I'm here!?"

"Run, don't stop!!"

"Chase me, chase me!!"

 

"What's this?"

 

I've never seen that kind of expression, even while traveling, ......?

They are confused by the sudden incomprehensible group, and immediately after that, a particularly large silhouette appears from behind them, sliding on the ground.

 

"Don't rest!! Run!! These guys are aa-!!"

 

…… What, Usa...... G?

He can see that he is Usato himself, but his head refuses to understand it.

He carries a blue grizzly named Bulllin, and above that, he ———、

 

"Keira!?"

 

Keira clung to him from behind him, smiling as he looked down at them as they ran below.

Why are you there!?

 

"Oh, Mr./Ms. Usato! That person is late! !! Do it!!"

"Huh?!"

"Oh! …… Don't stop, run! Whew!!"

 

With his right arm free while carrying a blue grizzly on his back, he sends something flying at an unbelievable speed and slams it into the back of a man who is slowing down.

Enveloped in the green light of healing magic, he was pushed forward by the shock, his face stained with fear as he frantically moved his feet.

 

「…… Well, he's a healing wizard as much as the rumors say."

 

Like the two heroes, he is a healing wizard who has made a name for himself in the Demon King's army.

I assumed that most of the content was exaggerated...... Yes, as expected, I have no choice but to believe it when I see him chasing the demon tribe with a blue grizzly on his back.

 

"Oh, Mr./Ms. Usato, I'm going to leave for a minute."

"Okay! Let's stop!"

"I'll be right back, so it's okay to go ahead!"

 

Then, as if noticing my appearance, Kira jumped off the back of Usato's back, unfurling her dark magic cloak and flying towards me.

The girl who came in front of me floating fluffily seemed to be somewhat proud.

 

"Gref is going to check on Rose and Lamb?"

"Oh, yes, you seem to be doing well...... Isn't it?"

"Yes!"

 

Somewhere in her heart, she is relieved to see Keira smiling appropriately for her age.

Her magic, which was unstable a few months ago, is now manipulated like a limb, making sure it is her own.

 

"Does he always train like this?"

"yes, it's still a preparatory exercise."

 

…… That?

Listen to the words that make you doubt your ears with reason and keep your composure.

 

"Oh, then it's time to go!"

"Oh, well, good luck then......

"Yes!"

 

Flying through the air, he sees Kira flying in the direction where Usato and the others disappeared.

We often hear that children sometimes grow up without their parents' knowledge...... I didn't know ...... this was what it was.

 

"I think it's a good change for him."

 

He was prepared for the time of raising a dark wizard child, but it seems that he doesn't need to be prepared for that anymore.

Keira's future is bright because she has been able to face herself.

 

"You thought I wouldn't notice because Kira wasn't there! Hmmm! Healing magic bullets!!"

"'Gyaaa!?''"

 

「…… Are you sure you're okay?"

 

Usato's yells can be heard from afar, and the screams of the group directed at them.

When I heard that voice, I twitched my cheeks and became a little anxious.
