When we arrived at Miarak's base inn, we left our luggage in each room before heading to the inn where Mr. Hayate stayed.
Nair and Ferm said they were going to rest at the inn, so me and the two seniors are going.
"A room for two..."
"I guess it's more efficient to hold two people together than a single room in providing escorts. … in my case, I think Armilla and I are going to be in the same room because we both act as watchmen?"
Do I have to keep an eye on Koga... well, even the Lifeguard was in the same room as Thong, and I'm used to it, so I don't care.
Ferm and Nair were in the same room, so that would be no different from when the Lifeguards were there.
"Usat, what's Mr. Hayate like?"
"He's a sweet man. He's the chief of the Beast Clan, and he helped us on the paperwork journey."
"It is."
We've written to each other a few times to tell them what's going on, but it's been months since we've seen each other.
"I have a girl named Linka, Amako's friend, who is Mr. Hayate's daughter."
"She's small and cute."
"I didn't say a word about that."
"You're a wolf ear."
"I didn't say a word!?"
Wait, how do you know!?
I never said Linka was a wolf beast!?
"Yeah, 'cause Amako's a fox beast, isn't he? Then her friends are determined to be wolf beasts, aren't they?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand at all."
"I mean, it's also natural for me to mingle there, which bears the name of a dog"
"Do not distort the laws of nature"
What kind of super theoretical minutes are you spinning, this guy?
I'm saying something very unreasonable, but I wish this was normal for this guy.
Well, it's nice not to get bored, but you can't embarrass me by showing such bizarre behavior besides me.
"Well, be prepared if your seniors are about to flaunt you, because I'll do everything I can to stop you"
"Usato, your eyes aren't laughing...?"
If it's going to run wild, I have to stop it responsibly. [M]
With such an exchange, we arrive at the Inn, where Mr. Hayate and the others are supposed to stay.
Coming in front of almost the same building as the inn we were guided to, I speak to the guarding knight and ask him to pass through the inn.
"At first, I'll leave it to you, knowledgeable."
"Copy that. I'll just knock."
Knock gently on the door - the door opens before knocking.
"You're finally here, Usato."
Amako, with his face out of the gap in the door, gives him a soothing look somewhere.
I can get into the inn as it is, but the interior of the inn doesn't look so different.
There is also room in the center where we can get together and discuss, and there are soldiers of the beasts who look familiar there.
"Usato -!"
"Yeah?"
The figure of a white-haired Beastman girl storming with tremendous momentum.
I felt like a dejab. I'm a girl - about three steps back after I took Linka and softened the shock.
"Long time no see!"
"Right. You're fine...... right? I know. Did you come here too?"
"Yeah, your mother wants you to support your father."
I laugh bitterly at her words, which gave birth to a hair color close to white and a wolf's ear.
In the meantime, I'll introduce you to her as I hand control a senior who is running wild silently next door.
"Linka, this man is Inukami Suzune. He's a friend of mine, a brave man in the kingdom of Ringle."
"Nice to meet you! Suzune!! Me, Linka!"
……!?
Linka smiles and laughs at the seniors who were wolfed like they were struck by lightning.
Slightly, shaking my voice.
"Linka, can I call you sister about me?"
"Huh!? Because I'm my only child, I didn't have a sister! Wow, that's your sister!"
———
Was this kid this low in mental age...? No, is this normal to be fourteen? I can't compare Amako because she has a calmer personality than me.
A senior named your sister to Linka turns a gaze at me with no expression.
"Usato, don't call me that."
"Why really...?"
"The kid who smiles at me for the first time with his sister doesn't think he's in real life..."
Everything you say and do is too sudden.
I'm not the only one surprised by Amako and the soldiers.
"Don't you think I can do anything for you if you dream?"
"Shh, yeah."
"Well, I'll call your father!" said Nagi, sitting in his chair, after dropping off Linka heading upstairs with the same vigour, approaching the central table with Amako.
"Ah, Mr. Nagi!"
"Looks like you made it. Are you here to see Mr. Hayate?"
"Yes, because I heard you were arriving here first"
When Mr. Nagi urges me to sit at the table, I also see the soldiers of the Beast, who would probably be escorts.
These are the men of Mr. Hayate who fought with him when Amako was imprisoned by Mr. Jinya in Hinomoto.
Didn't the Demon King do anything? I hope he hasn't bothered you because he still has a bad personality... "
"No, I didn't do anything particularly suspicious, did I?"
"What about Usat?"
"Amako, isn't it weird that you think I'm doing something suspicious with this flow?"
They think he's the next man to do something about the Demon King?
"Because it's Usat. Well, if you take your eyes off it, it's not weird to stick to the wall."
……
"You're lying...?"
"Not walls, ceilings"
"Are you stupid...?"
Damn, I can't say it back...!
Because Nair says the same thing...!
"Hey, how was Nagi?"
"What, me? Miarak is mostly different from the streets... and then the people here were really surprised."
When Nagi laughs at the tease, the nearby escorts shake their heads vertically.
"You look much like a bronze statue, so that would surprise me..."
"I'm a Kannagi student, so I want to give you a guide."
"... this, this kind of thing"
"I see..."
I nod at Mr. Nagi, who dyes his cheeks in embarrassment.
Is it also natural for me to be embarrassed if the school of my own name continues into this world?
"That said, I am Master Kannagi's apprentice. Doesn't that mean you're my apprentices?"
"Senior, here's a treat, right?"
"Yeah? Thanks?"
Pass some soothing senior a treat wrapped in a package placed on the table in front of him.
I keep talking as I look sideways at a senior who leans his neck strangely.
"How was Nagi's meeting with Hayate?"
"I'm relieved... I guess. I used to know about him through your cage hands, but I also really understood that he was a good enough person to trust."
"Really..."
I won't put it to words, but I'm glad Mr. Nagi seems to be able to accept all the beasts.
More importantly, he's about the same age as his neighbor.
That's why I sincerely hope the kingdom of the Beast becomes a new home for her.
"Actually, there was something I wanted to tell you."
"What do you want to talk about?"
Is something wrong?
Listens to Mr. Nagi as he tilts his neck.
"Were there any strange things going on in this city?"
"...? No... Is that what the fuss was about?"
When asked that question, Mr. Nagi shakes his neck sideways with a rugged look.
"Yeah, if there's any noise, Master Farga will feel strange.... I didn't feel uncomfortable, not like that."
"As things stand… there must have been nothing uncomfortable"
"I'm just like you, Usato. At least no one could have done me harm."
For a moment, the boy who waved to me with a nostalgic look? I think of the look of it, but that felt different than uncomfortable, so I shake that idea off.
"If it's murder or malice, I kind of know..."
"I think that's pretty weird"
Amako snaps at me.
This is what it feels like when your skin feels like it's creepy.
"If nothing happened, that's fine. Maybe I'm just being too nervous."
"... no, we'll be careful too"
Something is likely to happen if Mr. Nagi, with predictive magic and sharp senses, is to be vigilant.
As I try to be careful, Linka comes down from the top floor.
"Usato! Dad's calling about Usato!"
"Mmm, okay."
Apparently, Mr. Hayate and I are going to be talking upstairs.
Rinka, coming down to the ground floor with her bare head, rushes up to us.
The senior who sees him turns this way with a straight face.
"Usat you ---"
"Senior, here's a treat, right?"
"Not cluttered!? I tried to take action. What do I say, but I'm not an easy enough woman to fish with sweets -"
"Suzune, the sweets here are so delicious!"
"Hey Shiniyasu!"
Immediate decadence.
Hearing Linka's words pointing to the table, the senior throws the treat into his mouth with a full smile at great speed.
"Usat! Dad's in the front room right up this staircase!"
"Thank you, Linka. Would you mind if I played with the seniors for a moment?"
"Yeah!"
"Why would Usat say something like Suzune's guardian...?"
"Don't even nod Linka..."
Hearing Mr. Nagi and Amako whine, I head upstairs to the room where Mr. Hayate is.
"Hey, long time no see. Usato"
"It's been a while. Uh, how are you...?"
Hayate's complexion, which had been around for a long time, could not be said to be good for flattery.
No, it wasn't something sick or anything, it was something that was simply tired or something like that.
"For now..."
"Yeah?"
"Healing magic, let's do it"
Maybe he's got the process and all sorts of hard work until he gets here.
I immediately perceived it, and I first thought about doing my job as a healing wizard.
●
After applying healing magic to Mr. Hayate, sitting in the shape opposite him at the table, I was supposed to talk about what had happened.
The journey from leaving Hinomoto to today.
Speaking as briefly as possible, Mr. Hayate zeroes his emotional sigh.
"I remember when you came to Hinomoto."
"Ha, I was pretty impotent then, too,"
"But with that impotence, there is now... I think"
When I came to Hinomoto, it was a turbulence from the beginning.
They released arrows from Linka, and then the outrage continued to unfold that they would get along with the Beasts in the settlement.
"… what is happening to Twa now?"
A magic tool that transfers predictive magic to others.
The magic that Mr. Canoco tried to make in order not to let his daughter, Amako, lead a life bound by predictive magic.
It had ended in failure, and Mr. Canoko had been deprived of his predictive magic by his former chief, Mr. Jinya.
Now, I used Twa in reverse to undo Mr. Canoco's predictive magic, but then I still don't know what happened to Twa.
"I'm disassembling and storing it now. I suppose we should really dispose of it, because no other mushroom stopped it."
"Mr. Canoco, are you trying to finish Twa again?"
"They don't know that. At least now Hinomoto doesn't care so much about predictive magic."
Isn't that what you need?
Isn't it important to Hinomoto that the Wizard of Prediction remains the same?
"Temporarily by predictive magic, Hinomoto was in a crisis of confusion. I understand, of course, that it is not because of the mushrooms and the amako. But it was a cut-off for Hinomoto to change his perception of predictive magic."
……
"We can't just rely on predictive magic. It's not just the future, it's the present."
Though it's a moonlight statement, Mr. Hayate laughs lightly.
I don't know what predictive magic is going to be like, but I hope it goes in the best possible direction.
Mr. Hayate is a moderate man, unlike Mr. Jinya, so he doesn't have to worry so much either.
"How are you doing, Mr. Canoco? I hear you're feeling much better, too."
"Oh, she is. Yeah, I'm fine. Instead, I'm so healthy that I'm in trouble..."
I get a tired look on my face as soon as possible.
I zero my voice like I guessed "ah" on that look.
"There was something too free about her as she used to be... and when I took my eyes off she went somewhere flustered and made a fuss and it was already hard... Well, that's also something to be happy about because it's proof she's feeling better..."
So I cut the word, and he raises his face.
"Now, can I whine about stupidity?"
Yeah, if it's okay with me.
"Thanks...! Thanks...!"
This man has moved to this day as the chief of the Beast Clan.
The hard work of getting down on him who can't even speak weakly to his men in a position would be tremendous.
Well, now let's enjoy a long conversation with Mr. Hayate.
