The morning of the day of departure to the realm of demons.
I was carrying my luggage in front of the dormitory at the training ground to take with me when I went on an expedition.
"Usato-kun, is that all?"
"Thank you, I'm sorry I let you help me so early in the morning."
When I thanked Mr./Ms. for helping me carry my luggage with her, she shook her hand with a wry smile.
"Ehehe, it's okay, it's Usato-kun who is the hardest, so I have to do this too! I'm so glad Keira helped me too!"
"No, no, not ......."
Keira, who was stroked on the head, looked down embarrassedly.
Mr./Ms. smiles even more at the reaction.
"Usato-kun, I wanted a sister."
"Mr./Ms. Olga is going to cry."
"My sister-in-law seems to be able to do it soon, and I think my sister-in-law will be able to do it at this time."
"What are you saying with a straight face?"
I'm not trying to make a sister-in-law as an extra.
Why is it that I am usually normal, but at times like this, I become a strange person with the same vector as my seniors.
"I don't think I should take you to the Ringle Kingdom."
"What!!"
"I can't."
"What......?"
For some reason, Keira looks disappointed.
It would be a shame if the rescue team, which is called a human nuisance by some, really became a human being.
"Keira-chan, the Ringle Kingdom is a good place-"
"Really......!"
"There are a lot of different things for sale, from unusual to delicious food, so you're sure to enjoy it!"
"Wow......"
I don't think so, but when Mr./Ms. Uluru tries to take Kira back to the Ringle Kingdom, I have to stop her.
Intrigued by the story of the Ringle Kingdom, Kira now asks Mr./Ms. a question of her own.
"So how do you get into the rescue team?"
"......, Usato-kun. Let's stop recruiting kids for lifeguards, okay?"
"It's too wet......!!"
Uluru Mr./Ms., who has returned to her natural tension at once, advises me with a straight face.
Keira is a good fit for the rescue team, but I don't think she would ignore her situation and invite her to join .......
"No, Usato-kun, I had Nak-kun join the life-saving team during the trip......
"During the journey? Is that right? Mr./Ms. Usato?"
"Oh, yes, but ......."
「…… Hmmm."
There were a lot of circumstances at the time of Nak.
Also, for me, I thought he was a person who could make it in the rescue team.
I'm sure she's still training while helping out at Mr./Ms.'s clinic.
"It's about time everyone arrived, so I'm going to bring Bulllin with me."
I'm sure Nak is doing his best, and I've got to do what I have to do.
With that in mind, I went to fetch Bulllin, who would be in the stables before Koga and the others arrived.
●
After packing up our belongings, we waited for a while and the six members of the team gathered Mr./Ms. Koga, Amako, Nea, Nagi, Mr./Ms. Hannah.
I'm a little relieved that Koga showed up on time, regardless of the crew.
It may be a few weeks of exploration, so the amount of luggage has become quite large.
"I'm here!"
"Oh, I'm glad you got up without being late."
"Your bombs and Senri's attack have become so radical that I had to get up early......!!"
It's your fault that you don't wake up.
I went through the trap and the trembling Koga and checked the members again.
Me, Koga, and six of my subordinates.
Then there's Kira, Hannah Mr./Ms. Amako, Nagi Mr./Ms. and finally Bulllin.
"First of all...... Keira, can I give you some magic?"
"Yes!"
A cloak made of black magic pops out from under Keira's feet and is placed over my shoulders.
Instructing him to deform the edges of the cloak with a somewhat familiar motion, he tosses the supplies he has placed on the ground into the inside of the cloak.
"It's really convenient."
"Keira's magic has changed in a few moments......
Listening to Nea and Amako's voices, he ignores all the laws of mass and its hen and throws all the supplies into the extradimensional space of the cloak.
What's amazing about this is that the weight of the cloak doesn't change at all.
Like Ferm, dark magic is a truly magical magic.
"Mr./Ms. Usato"
"Hmm? Oh, please."
The first preparation ends with Kira jumping into the lightly unfolded cloak.
The rest of the luggage will be carried by each person.
"Koga, I'm ready for this, so let's take care of the rest."
"Oh."
The captain is Koga, so he reports to him and urges him to move on.
Coughing, he took a step forward, looked around at his men's faces, and opened his mouth.
"You're leaving today...... Well...... yes, you didn't forget anything, did you?"
Without hesitation, I put a light sword in Koga's head.
"What are you doing!?"
"Decide that! You're a former corps commander, aren't you?!"
"I can't help it! I couldn't even think of the words to say!"
Even though it was before I left, I .......
It was a lot of Koga, but strangely, the appearance of his subordinates did not change at all.
"No, Itachi doesn't have that guy's subordinate."
"It was like this when I was a corps commander!"
"Immutable"
It seems that it was familiar to Mr./Ms., who was originally Koga's subordinate.
My love...... I don't know if he's been like that since he was ...... corps commander.
"I've been asking Senri-sama more often for this."
"Gee......"
"Anyway, I'm going to leave now, so please bring your own luggage."
Instead of Koga, each of them carries the luggage they have prepared.
Exploration is almost the same as an expedition, so in addition to the supplies I store in my cloak, I will have to carry my own luggage.
"Amako is on Bulllin's back."
"Yes, see you soon, Bulllyn."
"Gua!"
It is reassuring to have Bullin to protect Amako, who lacks mobility.
In addition, if you combine Bullin's sense of smell with Amako's precognitive magic, you won't have any accidents.
"As I told you the other day, I'm going to move to the front of the Demon Realm by the end of the day, so don't forget to stay hydrated as I'm going to run."
「…… Yeah? Oh, um, I'm sorry. Usato-kun."
"Yes? Mr./Ms. Hannah, what's wrong?"
Mr./Ms. tapped me on the shoulder as I looked around to see if I was curious about something.
"I'm going to ask you a question, but of course the means of transportation to your destination is a horse, right? You said earlier that you would run to your destination, but you didn't mishear, did you?"
"No, it's not."
"Oh, I misheard, I didn't expect to run from here to ———."
"You can only run before you enter the Demon Realm."
"......, are you stupid!?"
Mr./Ms., whose voice is rough, is crowded.
Her eyes were very desperate as she grabbed the chest of her uniform and brought her face closer.
"I'm an ordinary demon like you! Ordinary demon tribes, right? You don't run all the time, and you don't run as fast as a monster!"
"At some point, I'm no longer an ordinary demon ......."
"Nono, give up on that."
It's certainly a strange way to say it, but Mr./Ms. is a general demon.
His physical abilities are not as good as those of his subordinates.
"It's the same with Amako-chan, isn't it?!"
"Oh, I'll get you on Bulllin's back, so it's okay."
"Gua"
"So, what about Nea Mr./Ms.!?"
"I'm not going to run because I'm going to get stuck on Usato's shoulder."
Mr./Ms. Hannah is dismayed at the sound of Amako on the Bulllyn and Nea, who jumped on my shoulder as an owl, and points at herself.
"Then what about me!? Are you telling me to run too!?"
"If you want a ride to your destination, I'm going to run for it!" Don't worry! I'm sturdy and squeals a lot!!"
"Mr./Ms. El, keep the mouth of the devil bad for the education of the child next to you."
"Yes, yes."
"Mugugugu!?"
I wasn't caught off guard or at all.
He glances sideways at El Mr./Ms. as he covers the mouth of Mr./Ms. Veena and looks at Hannah's Mr./Ms..
Of course, I also think about Mr./Ms..
"Don't worry, I have an idea."
「…… Really?"
"Yes...... Keira, I'm going to change the shape of my cloak."
"Yes!"
The cloak is inflated and transformed into a chair-like shape at the edges.
He holds it out in front of Mr./Ms. and urges her to sit down.
"Please sit down."
「……」
I moved her back to back as she sat in a deformed chair with a disgusted look on her face, and then surrounded her by a roof and a wall.
Is it easy to imagine a snail?
"That's it."
"Where? I don't agree with any of them?"
"Now you can move around while looking at the map, right?"
"That's right! That's right...... Well, I'm angry that there is a sense of stability in ...... needlessly!"
It's like there's no weight on me because I'm always running with a bulllyn on my back.
"There are other ways, do you ask?"
"For the time being."
"I'm going to leave it to Koga's alter ego...... It's a way to get Mr./Ms. Nagi to carry it on your back."
"By the way, I was really scared when I was being carried on my back by Kannagi."
"Oh, Amako......?"
I don't think either of them is dangerous, but Mr./Ms., who looked worried, sighed resignedly.
"Hah, that's fine."
"I'm sorry, I thought it would be difficult to take ...... horse."
"No, I know, I don't want to be too selfish either."
…… For now, everyone is ready.
After checking my subordinates once more, I turned back to Mr./Ms. Uluru.
"Well, Mr./Ms. Uluru, I'm coming."
"Yes, come on! Hey everybody!"
Seeing off Mr./Ms. Uluru, we set off to leave the city first.
If you run as fast as you can here, you will cause trouble to the people of the city, so as I was running lightly, I heard a voice from Mr./Ms. Hannah behind me.
"Huh? Isn't this easier than you think?"
"It's partly because I'm using resistance magic, but this person doesn't have any upper body shakes at all."
I'm conscious of it, too.
If you leave the city as it is, speed up your steps and reach your destination.
We don't know what lies ahead until we enter the realm of demons...... There is no doubt that there will be more than we expected.
