Surprisingly, Koga's room is in the center of the city.

When I asked him why he didn't like crowds and lived in the middle of the city, he gave me a very simple answer.

 

"Here, even if you're late, you can get to most places in the shortest way!"

 

At this time, I was seriously wondering if I should correct this man's sloppy lifestyle.

Why are you wasting your brain in such a place, you really ......!

I couldn't help but be stunned by Koga, who said with a sunny face that he couldn't believe was the statement of a person who led one of the Demon King's forces.

 

"Is this you, Keira?"

"Yes!"

 

After receiving the news from Keira, I arrived at the training ground near the center of the city and turned my gaze to the crowded surroundings.

It used to be a remnant of the Demon King's army's training ground, so it seems to be almost treated as a square now, but .......

 

"I'm doing it."

 

You can hear the sound of blows that you can't think of as a relaxation square.

If you look there, you will find the people of the city watching the battle from a distance, and the appearance of Koga and Senri-sama fighting with almost the same momentum as the actual battle.

 

"You told me not to rush into my room!!"

"It is only by overcoming all the things that stand in my way that my true feelings can be conveyed!"

"It's not like breaking down a door with your bare hands!"

 

Well, we're fighting while arguing.

Senri-sama seems to be enjoying this situation, and the way he fights seems to be somewhat lively.

Well, it seemed the same to Koga...... Hmm? The people over there .......

 

"Mr./Ms. Helena"

"Oh, Usato-kun......."

 

Senri-sama's escort...... Rather, Helena Mr./Ms., who is in charge of the eye, is watching the battle between the two with a somewhat twilight look.

In addition to her, you can also see other warriors so that the people of the city will not be harmed, so apparently this fight? It seems to be protecting it from damage.

 

"I'm glad you came."

"Shall we stop it?"

"Ah, no, it's dangerous if you get so motivated, so I think it's better to let it get tired as it is."

"It's like a beast."

 

Even though she is the princess of Nirvarna, is it okay to treat her like that?

 

"Besides, Senri-sama is also able to live a fulfilling life, so I try not to stop as much as possible."

"Well, it looks like fun."

 

I wonder if the royal family of Nirvarna is a fighting race or something.

If you look at him wrestling with Koga, you won't be wrong.

…… Oh, it looks like Koga uses magic.

 

"Please, please finish this!"

 

A belt created by the black magic of dark magic covers Koga's body, making him look like a humanoid beast.

Dark magic "Beast".

He specializes in wild movements and tricky attacks using his belt.

Clothed in magic that has been rubbed many times, Koga makes his way to Senri-sama with enhanced physical abilities.

 

"Keira, it's a good opportunity to watch Koga's magic."

"Is it because it's dark magic?"

"That's part of it...... He's able to use the same tricks as I do."

 

To be honest, I stole it after seeing the techniques and techniques that I had worked so hard to develop.

Elasticity, outbursts, and magic manipulation.

It's frustrating to see him use the same technique as me and sublimate it into a completely different technique, but it's worth seeing.

 

『!』

 

Senri-sama, who was slightly surprised by Koga, who was accelerating with his bouncy magic power and heading towards him, stepped back while loosely opening his fist.

Just like the first mock battle, Senri-sama is not good at what it is.

 

"Then this one!"

 

Has Senri-sama's stance changed?

He pulls his right arm, which is probably his dominant arm, wide and tilts his head at her as she prepares to step forward with her left foot.

Then, at the moment when Senri-sama slammed his fist into the ground as if he were going to hit something on the ground———, Koga's body was repelled as if he was crashing into something.

 

"Guo!?"

 

…… Koga bounced against an invisible wall?

No, if you look closely, you can see something like an invisible transparent wall between Senri-sama and Koga.

That is.......

 

"I've explained before that my magic system is like wind."

"Come to think of it, that's right...... It's the first time I've actually seen it!"

 

Wind Magic ...... Is it?

Even so, it seems to be somewhat different from Nero Mr./Ms. and El Mr./Ms., .......

 

"Helena Mr./Ms., Senri-sama's magic is ......."

"Ah, his wind magic is a little special, it's not about manipulating the wind, it's about hardening the air with magic."

"Wow."

"I rarely use it because physical techniques are enough for most opponents...... He's also very strong."

 

There are so many different kinds of magic.

At first glance, it seemed to be a type that was fixed by hitting the ground rather than manipulating the hardened air.

 

"My magic is a magic that doesn't have enough attack power to solidify the air, and I didn't do anything special just by forcing it into the ground and creating an improvised shield."

 

If you think about it normally, it seems to be a bit of crippled magic.

Even if you can make it, it will only solidify the air, and you will not be able to manipulate it in that way.

…… It's a bit like healing magic.

 

"But I have never regretted having this magic."

"Why?"

"This fist is enough to defeat those who stand in your way."

 

I see, I have a point.

For some reason, the people around me all tilted their heads, but I understood what Senri-sama meant.

 

"Well, you can explain it to me a lot, don't you?

"No, I ...... you want me to get to know you better, and now we can understand each other better."

"I wonder if I can't do what I didn't hear just now!?"

 

When I thought that it would be amazing to come this far, Senri-sama turned the palm raised in front of me upward.

When the air gathers so that it is compressed, a translucent mass of air is created above her left hand.

And that's what she ———、

 

"Hmmm!"

 

...... struck out with a large right fist!

Koga looks astonished at the mass of air that flies like a cannonball, knocking it down with a dark magic whip.

 

"What an insane use of magic......!"

"That's right......! It's like Mr./Ms. Usato ......!!"

"yes, it's just like Usato-kun."

「……」

 

I don't know what it is, but I don't feel any malice or teasing at all.

At times like this, I miss Nea.

 

"Let's start from here."

 

Senri-sama, who hardens the air one after another and punches it and flies away, jumps forward this time.

Perhaps as an application of this, he uses the hardened air as a foothold to leap, and at the same time he releases his fist and slams a cylindrical mass into Koga as if in pursuit.

But Koga isn't Itachi either.

With a ferocious grin, he intensifies the battle as he changes his movements to become even more inhuman.

 

"Mr./Ms. Helena, should we stop this?"

"Well, what should I do, it seems that the two of you still have the thought of being considerate of the surroundings, so it seems that you are still fine...... We're getting a lot of attention on that, so let's wait a little longer."

 

…… Certainly, if you look around, there are a few people who have come to watch the fight between the two.

I wonder if the exchange between Koga and Senri-sama has become familiar in the past month.

If it's accepted as a form of entertainment, it might be a good idea to wait and see.

 

"For the time being, I'll be on my guard so that there is no damage to those around me."

"Oh, please."

 

Activate your magic senses and be ready to drop the aftermath with healing magic bullets at any time.

 

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

"yes?"

 

We see Kira looking at the battle between Koga and Senri-sama.

 

"Can I do it like that......

"Is that kind of wind like Koga? Or like Senri-sama?"

"Both, like Koga Mr./Ms. using dark magic well, or fighting like Senri-sama...... It is."

 

Longing, ?

In a way, it's natural for Kira to think that way because they have the same dark magic and the same women.

 

"It's better to cherish that feeling."

"What......?"

"It's important to set goals."

 

Like Keira, there are people who have been aiming for me for a long time.

I've been chasing them all the time, and I don't feel like I'll be able to catch up yet.

 

"Hah, this is a good opportunity! I'll show you a new trick!!"

 

It seems that Koga is trying to do something while they are having such an exchange.

...... new tricks? What the hell are you going to do, kid?

Koga pops off the cube-shaped air mass that Senri-sama kicked and flies away, causing the dark magic he wears to expand.

 

"Go!"

 

In an instant, Koga's dark magic split, and another Koga appeared.

…… Alter ego? No, in healing sense, there is only one body.

The other one is just a bundle of magical power...... The alter ego moves towards Senri-sama in a movement that is completely comparable to Koga himself.

 

"What kind of technique is that......?"

"I was able to do it when I was doing something called magic spinning! I don't really understand the principle!

 

No, I'm not going to use a technique that I don't even know.

I still don't know if the movement is due to Koga's will or if it will move automatically to some extent, but it seems like a simple tricky trick in that there is another Koga.

 

"There's another Koga Mr./Ms., ...... what's going on Mr./Ms. Usato ......?"

"I think it's partly due to the benefit of the improved magic manipulation of the magic power rotation, and partly because of the transformation of Koga's own dark magic."

 

But an alter ego?

Strangely enough, he ...... to learn a new trick just like me.

My Afterimage Fist is also the same, but why did he ...... such a similar technique?

 

"Can you break through this air barrier?"

 

Senri-sama continuously strikes the ground with the air that he has solidified, creating a kind of large wall.

A thick shield reminiscent of a castle wall.

In front of this, Koga unabashedly stepped forward with his alter ego———、 stretched out his right hand and grabbed his alter ego's arm.

 

"This guy isn't just an alter ego!!"

 

In an instant, the alter ego transforms from a humanoid form to a club like the one I used to wield with Koga as a weapon.

As it was, he slammed his club into the air wall, smashing it with a single blow.

——— weaponization of alter egos?

If it is unleashed with the physical ability of Koga, its power should be considerable.

Above all, he seems to be better at handling weapons than I .......

 

「…… That is definitely the result of Mr./Ms.'s dark magic being altered."

"Keira......? Why do you look so disappointed ......?"

"Dark magic is really ......!!"

 

…… Anyway, it looks like this fuss is coming to an end soon.

Fortunately, the fights between the two, and even the mock battles, are accepted as entertainment by the townspeople, so all that remains is to wait for them to end with moderate caution.

 

●

 

In the end, the mock battle, which would have started abruptly this time, ended with Koga's victory.

It didn't seem like there was anything to do with winning or losing, so Senri-sama seemed satisfied, but Koga came over as soon as the mock battle was over.

 

"Heh, how's my new move?"

 

He was aware that we were watching.

To be honest, I think it's a pretty tricky technique when you can turn it into an alter ego and then become a weapon.

 

"Huh, sweet Koga, if you're an alter ego, I've already mastered it as of two days ago."

"How can I turn into an alter ego with healing magic......

 

Let's put it into practice.

Stretch the elasticity and wear it thinly.

From there, in the manner of a repetitive side-jump, I took a vigorous sideways step, leaving the remnants of the healing magic that remained like a shell in the place where I had been earlier in the form of a humanoid.

 

"Wow, the magic is still intact!"

"I'm wondering if this can really be called an alter ego, or rather, a molt?"

 

Mr./Ms. Helena reacted subtly, but Keira seems to like it.

He points to the remnants of magic that are slowly fading away, and he smiles at Koga, who is twitching his cheeks.

 

"This is the healing afterimage fist."

"It's not a brute force, and it doesn't move."

"Sweet Koga, I'm going to do this on the move. I mean, they're going to have the illusion that I'm going to be there."

"Don't suddenly turn it into a trick, I don't want you to do that with your movements."

 

Since I was familiar with the devil and Owl Mr./Ms., I should be able to use it in actual battle.

But this technique still has a lot of room for application.

 

"Does your alter ego feel like it moves freely?" Or is it your will?"

"Well, it's somewhere in between, and when you give an order, it acts like a good thing."

"What's that?"

"I don't really understand the principle either."

 

Although it seems that the aboutness is also dark magic.

While we were talking about a new technique, Senri-sama also arrived.

 

"Oh, did Mr./Ms. Usato come too?"

"yes, I'm just going to see how it goes."

"Fufufu, I'd like to ask you to join hands with Mr./Ms. Usato this time."

 

Senri puts her hand on her cheek and smiles...... This person still seems to be doing well.

The same can be said for Koga, but this person is also so strong that you can't think of her as a princess.

 

"Hahaha, we can't make a fuss any louder, Senri-sama is tired, isn't he?"

「…… I wasn't tired, but it was true that I had caused a ruckus. Ugh, I'm going to be scolded by my father again ......."

 

Mr./Ms. Helena is smiling wryly at Senri, who is depressed with an expression that she has finished.

After all, even if you are a royal, you ...... be able to bear to be scolded by your parents.

 

"Isn't Mr./Ms. Usato with Nea Mr./Ms.?"

"What? Oh, yes, that's right. It's a day off today, so she's having her own time."

 

By now, you'll be reading a book in your room.

 

"Well, since you're a 'ma'am,' I always thought you'd be with me."

"....... Ha, ha."

 

I want to apologize and confess that I lied.

Are you aware that you lied?

I mean, yes? I felt like something had been put on my shoulder .......

 

"Keira, for some reason, your cloak was put on me."

"Mr./Ms., what do you mean by ma'am? Mr./Ms. Usato?"

 

Right next to me, I feel a pressure close to Amako in Kira, who is grabbing the edge of her clothes and looking up at me.

And I don't know why Keira's magic was attached to me now.

For the time being, I'll tell Kira about the situation later, and I'll apologize to Senri for lying to her when the time comes.

 

"Well, I don't care about it now."

"Yes? What does that ...... mean?"

 

Speaking to Senri, who muttered in a low voice, she smiled and then turned her gaze around.

Perhaps because of the mock battle I mentioned earlier, people were gathering here.

 

"People have gathered, let's move, Mr./Ms. Koga, please don't run away. You had a day off today, didn't you?"

"Hey, let go! Don't master your skills!!"

 

Senri-sama catches Koga's arm as he casually tries to escape.

After all, I thought that this person was a strange princess, and I followed them as they walked ahead with Keira, who was looking up at me from earlier.

_______________________________________________

[Koga's New Ability: Alter Ego]

Dark magic awakened by the improvement of magic manipulation by magic power rotation and the learning to cooperate with others by fighting and acting together with Usato.

Feelings such as laziness to wish there were two of them, and rivalry with Usato, are also factors that awaken him.

 

As for the fact that an alter ego can transform into a weapon, he previously told Usato's weapon (?) It was a little traumatic to be swayed as a person, so I just unconsciously became such an ability.
