Amako and Mr./Ms. Nagi came to Verhazar.

I was surprised that I arrived much earlier than expected, but I was convinced when I heard that Mr./Ms. Nagi ran with Amako on her back.

Mr./Ms.'s physical ability is faster than running on a normal horse, and there is no reason to run through a forest full of obstacles.

 

"So, Usato, I'm sorry to hear from you, but can you tell me about Sia?"

 

I finished my training a little early and moved to the dormitory, and Mr./Ms. Nagi asked me.

Hannah Mr./Ms. asked the Demon King to inform her that Nagi Mr./Ms. and the others had arrived, and now that Kira has returned home and Veena Mr./Ms., the only people here are me, Nea, Nagi Mr./Ms., and Amako.

 

"What about that girl...... I told you in a letter that Sia Gammio was a girl who was implanted with the memories and magic of Mr./Ms. Hisago, right?"

"Yes."

"To be honest, I don't know how much of an influence Mr./Ms. Hisago has on her, all I know is that she is getting rid of demons and unconsciously seeking the power of the Demon Lord."

 

From the way Sia speaks, it can be assumed that her body is moving unconsciously, or that another personality is moving her body.

To some extent, when I explained about Shea and the request I was asked to do by the Demon Lord, Mr./Ms. Nagi, who had been twisting her head in annoyance, suddenly changed the color of her eyes to purple.

 

"Usato, the other me wants to talk to you."

 

Apparently, he has switched to another Nagi Mr./Ms. personality.

 

「…… Aren't you lying? I don't know what to say, but you're too kind. It's possible that they're being bonded by that."

"I don't think so, I don't know for sure, but she was in so much pain that she asked me for help."

「…… Do you want to ask for help? When you say that, you can't say anything."

 

Perhaps remembering the battle in the ruins, the purple-eyed Mr./Ms. smiled in annoyance and returned her eyes to their original blue.

It's true that I'm gullible, but I want to believe that Sia's words about asking for help aren't a lie.

 

"If I had been there then, I might have figured out something."

"What was Nea doing?"

"I was trying to trick the members who disguised themselves as cats and threw them into the forest to find out what's going on.

"Usato ......?"

 

Whew, I've been told.

Even though it's necessary, how many times in a day do you have to be pulled over by Amako and Nagi Mr./Ms.?

 

"I was here to lead a search party to the Demon Realm, at the request of the Demon King and Koga."

"Maybe the people from earlier......

"Yes, they are. So, it was Mr./Ms. Veena who was trying to blend in with the members and find out about me and the Demon Lord."

 

Looking back on it now, I don't think I had any intention of hiding at all.

Mr./Ms. Vina stood out.

…… Let's get back to the story.

 

"It was just me and Keira who met Shea, and things were a bit complicated...... When I went to my destination for the Demon Lord's request, I was attacked by a demon."

"Were you okay?"

"The demons, I fought surrounded by about 11 people, including the Owl Mr./Ms., but oh well...... I managed to do it."

 

If the other side had successfully coordinated the Owl Mr./Ms. and the dark wizard sisters, they might have been stuck in the middle of the defensive battle...... Otherwise, it wouldn't have been particularly troublesome.

 

"Eleven people...... It was a good job."

"Heh, if I focus on defending and dodging, I'm going to be incredibly reluctant, and I'm confident that I can keep running all day."

"It's going to be a nightmare for them, that's it."

 

In fact, only Mr./Ms. understood the situation.

As expected, he is a person who knows something out of the norm called Rose.

If the devil had someone who could make calm decisions, it might have been pretty bad.

 

"So we can accompany you on that quest with Usato, right?"

"Yes, it would be reassuring to have Nagi Mr./Ms. and Amako with clairvoyant magic, and maybe having Shea meet Nagi Mr./Ms. would stabilize her condition."

"I've been implanted with his memory, so of course he should know me...... I'm a little worried."

 

I understand that Mr./Ms. Nagi is worried.

You never know what's going to happen.

Maybe Shea's condition will worsen, or nothing will happen.

 

"Anyway, you can relax here until you leave."

"Yes, should I find a place to stay?"

"Oh, that's it...... I arrived earlier than planned, so I couldn't find it at all."

 

If you ask the Demon Lord, he may be able to prepare it, but it's not a good idea to ask too much.

Because Mr./Ms. Nagi will want to take a break...... Good.

 

"Then you can stay in this dormitory."

"What, are you sure?"

"The room is vacant, Nea won't complain, will she?"

"No, I don't, I've got a spare room as Usato's said."

 

"Is Usato's staying here too?"

"Well, it's close to the training grounds, but it's ......."

 

The guys staying at the dormitory will be me, Hanna Mr./Ms.h, Nea, Nagi Mr./Ms. Amako, right?

With that in mind, he turned to the two of them, making up his mind.

 

"I'm going somewhere else."

"'Huh?'"

 

Amako, Nea, and Mr./Ms.'s stunned voices overlap.

 

"I mean, it's not common sense for me to stay with four women."

"Why is Usato talking about common sense?"

 

It's a terrible thing to say.

I was told that by tilting my head.

 

"You see, there's a public body, and you can't be misunderstood by people in the city, right?"

"I think Usato has already been irrevocably recognized."

"Well, I'm sure you're the cause of a great misunderstanding of the human race."

 

I don't know what you're talking about.

Nea, who seems to be somewhat unconvinced, looks at me with a cane.

 

"Where else are you going, Alc?"

"Eh, is Mr./Ms. Alc coming too?"

"No, it's just the right time, I think it's time to go to him."

"He?"

 

I could go back to Mr./Ms.'s place, but I still can't fix my habit of being late, so I always have to do something about it.

With that in mind, I opened my mouth to the three of them.

 

"Koganhouseblood」

 

●

 

"That's why I'm here to visit you."

"No, why not......

 

Koga's room is located in the center of the Demon King City of Verhazar.

I came there with my luggage and dinner as a souvenir.

 

"It's too sudden...... isn't it?"

 

When I was led into the room and explained how I had gotten to this point, Koga looked blatantly disgusted.

 

"I thought it was time for you to take good care of yourself as captain, and I came here to correct your tardiness habit as a first step."

"It's too much care, ......."

"It's necessary to take extra care, isn't it? After me and Senri-sama return to our country, are you going to live the same dissolute life as before?"

 

No matter how much the Demon King's army is gone, the search party I led will remain.

It's not me who leads it, it's Koga.

Koga scratches his head in disgust at my point.

 

"I know, but it's hard to change what you've been doing all of a sudden, right?"

"The same is true for me, but you can't stay the way you have been...... Isn't that right?"

「…… Well, I know that."

 

After the battle with the Demon Lord, my position changed significantly.

Along with that, Koga also needed to focus on other things than just fighting...... That's what I think.

"Honestly, the current situation is not as bad as I imagined, and I can fight with you regularly."

"What about Senri-sama?"

"He's like a tornado."

 

Do you mean it in a favorable way?

From the tone of his voice, he doesn't seem to hate it.

 

"Huh...... I don't mind staying overnight. Anyway, it seems that this room was originally for two people."

"That's why you have two beds."

"One of them is a shed."

 

When I turned my gaze to the room, it was a little large for a single room.

I don't have that many things, and I feel like I only put the bare minimum of things such as a change of clothes.

…… In Koga's case, his hobby seems to be fighting, so I wonder if he doesn't have much to put in his room.

 

"It's not funny."

"Hmm, I'm sorry, but I'm going to change the subject, but why don't you come to the early morning training tomorrow?"

"Do you mean the guy you fight with Mr./Ms. every morning? Come to think of it, I couldn't go there for some reason."

"Oh yes."

 

After all, this man couldn't get up in the morning and didn't come to the early morning training.

I'm not forcing you to do it.

 

"Nero Mr./Ms. will come tomorrow, and it seems that Nagi Mr./Ms., who arrived today, will also come."

"You could destroy five or six of your country in one night."

 

If you look at the strength alone, there is no doubt that it is a ridiculous mentality.

In the first place, Nero Mr./Ms. and Nagi Mr./Ms. alone are too powerful.

 

「…… If that's the kind of people who get together, I'll have to participate."

"Are you coming......!"

"Oh, force me to wake up."

"Make an effort to get up on your own first."

 

I don't know if it's a good idea.

…… Well, I hope it will be an opportunity for you to start thinking about it yourself.

You can't suddenly get rid of your habit of being late.

 

"Well, I'm getting hungry, so I'm going to eat."

"Well, by the way, what do you usually eat?"

"What...... Lately, Senri's guy has been making it up on his own."

 

It's steadily grabbing my stomach.

Maybe you don't realize ......?

 

●

 

When I think about it, I became good at waking up early after being thrown into the lifeguard.

I have experienced firsthand what kind of hell it would be like to oversleep in the extreme environment of the initial rescue team, so I inevitably became good at it.

 

「…… Okay."

 

As soon as he wakes up, he gets out of bed and changes from his nightgown to his training clothes, and looks at Koga.

After all, it seems that he is still asleep.

 

"Hey, Koga, wake up."

"Guoooooo......"

"It's morning, it's time for early morning training."

"Ahhh......hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

There's not the slightest sign of it happening.

Hah, I can't help it. I'm taking a pledge, so I'm going to force it to happen a little.

I put the mini-healing explosive bomb I had created in my hand by my bedside and took about three steps away from the spot.

 

「３…… ２…… １」

"Gubo!?"

"Okay."

 

A few seconds later, the mini-healing explosive bullet at his bedside explodes, and Koga lands on the floor, blown away by the shockwave.

 

"What, Nana!? Senri finally attacked me in my sleep!?

 

His hair is unkempt from the shockwave, and he greets Koga with a smile as he looks around even though he is sleeping.

 

"Good morning!! Koga! It's a nice morning!!"

「…… Huh!? …… Oh, oh oh you have a bug in the way you wake up!?"

 

It can't be helped because it doesn't wake up even if you call out.

And Koga had given permission.

 

"It's going to be a nuisance to the neighborhood!!"

"Don't worry, I've adjusted it to burst silently. Look, I've woken you up, so wash your face."

"Where are you going......

 

Koga sighs melancholy as he heads towards the sink.

When I saw it off...... Suddenly, there is a knock on the door of the room.

 

「……? So early in the morning?"

 

If.......

Koga won't be able to play now, and I'll be out instead.

With that in mind, I unlocked the door and opened it.

As expected, in front of the door stood the princess of the kingdom of Nirvarna, Senri-sama, with a smile on her face.

 

"Good morning! You finally woke up on your own today! This is also the result of my efforts——"

"Ah, Senri-sama, good morning. It's early."

「…… Mr./Ms. Usato? Oh, that's ......?"

 

She was upset when she saw me, and she looked around like Koga earlier, and then checked the door again.

 

"Senri, you're still good."

 

Koga, who has been washing his face here, still comes out sleepy.

Seeing him like that, Senri-sama speaks to him with a trembling voice.

 

"What Mr./Ms. ...... is this?"

"There were a lot of things that led me to come here from the dormitory."

"Hey, listen to me, Senri, this guy forced me to wake up in my sleep by exploding healing magic."

"It was bad."

"I was so surprised......

 

…… Hmm? There's something wrong with Senri-sama.

Are you angry that you have taken away Senri-sama's job of waking up Koga?

 

"I'm convinced at this moment."

"Hmm?"

"You're my lifelong nemesis......!!"

「…… I understand that you are misunderstood."

 

He said something similar to Koga before him.

However, I knew that I had been misunderstood.

For the time being, let's clear up the misunderstanding of Senri-sama, whose eyes have begun to settle.

_____________________________________________________

It was Usato, who decided to stay at Koga's house for a short time.

It's also unreasonable to be common sense in a strange place......
