While Mr Usato was stalling, I took Mr Shea to the camp where Mr Koga and the others were.

I am worried about leaving Mr Usato alone.

Honestly, there was a desire to fight together, but I knew his intention was not to let Shia fight, which seemed strange to me.

"... Shia-san, I'm taking a break."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm just a little tired."

I was always flying alone, so it's a little tough to fly with one person in my arms.

While confirming that I flew a certain distance, I descend into the forest once.

"This doesn't happen when Usato-san is using my magic...."

Perhaps this is also my dark magic trait.

Because the wearer's strength is reflected to some extent in the cape, there are many differences between when Mr. Usato is using it and when I am using it.

"The rabbit stopped by himself....."

I'm sure he'll make it through.

He didn't let us escape in one or eight places, so he decided it was the best thing to do, so Mr. Usato moved on.

Even if he had a lot of enemies, he could do something about it.

"I'll fly again after a short break.Keep going, Koga... when you join your allies, I'll be on my way to support Usato. "

"Friend of the rabbit."

Shea murmured as she laid her hand on her head.

... I had the same reaction while flying, but I'm a little worried.

"Nh, uhh..."

"Shia-san...?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just got dizzy when I ran into them...."

I am not familiar with Mr Shia yet.

I understand that you are currently in a harsh situation, but I have no idea what to do or what to do.

"If we meet, there will be the same healing wizard as Usato-san, so patience until then...!"

Mr Uluru may be able to manage.

But Shia-san kept her head down and sounded distressed.

"But there are signs of demons ahead of us....."

"Eh! Are you saying you're ahead!?"

"Ah, no, those demons are still behind us... uhh"

Could this be as emotionally influenced as it was in my time?

The other Kannagi said that his spirit was unstable because of a terrible dragon called the Dragon of Evil Dragons... and so was Shia...

Anyway, you might want to calm this guy down first.

"Take a slow breath.It's okay..... "

"....."

"I know because I've had the same experience."

Slowly approached her, kneeling on the spot, and shook her back.

Then something like a sphere of light rolls out of the bag she was wearing on her shoulder.

She noticed it as well as I did, picking up a sole rolling on the ground with trembling hands.

"Hmm, why am I doing this...."

"Shia-san, that's..."

A sphere that emits warm light.

Among them is something like a familiar black vortex.

——— I will take out and compare the crystal that contains the help of the Demon King that Mr. Usato gave me earlier.

The vessel inside is different, but the black force inside is just like that.

"Maybe that's the devil's...?"

"I don't know! I can't have this stuff!! Because this is---"

Shia makes me feel upset.

Her doubts deepen as she shows real confusion, not acting or lying.

I wonder... if I should wait for Mr. Usato...

I feel really bad about taking Shia-san with me like this...

"No, I'm not, I'm not... but... ah, ah..."

Did you stop moving by staring at the sphere?

Without a voice, she backs down with her voice trembling as she brings back the light to her eyes, which she thinks are even going to be empty for a moment.

"It was me...."

"Eh...?"

"I took this from the devil...? How could I forget it when I did it myself...?Did I finally go crazy?No more..... "

I have no idea what's going on.

The situation is similar to that of Mr. Kannagi.

Another Kannagi, who talked to me and invited me to the ruins, was denied the story she had with Usato, and then - after a divisive speech - he fought him.

Shia is very close to the way Kannagi was disturbed at that time.

"... I'm going over there now, right?"

That's why you can't just leave it like this.

I know because I have experienced the same experience.

It's so scary and painful to be alone.

"Chi, stay away from me!"

Huh

Shia-san stopped me slowly with a strong tone.

I stopped when I saw her forcibly holding down her right hand, which was trying to reach into the sword of her hips, with her left hand.

"I'm sorry... I don't want to hurt you...! If I relax, I'll forcibly take away his power...!"

Since you have the power of the Demon King, you're reacting...?

"I'm getting out of here. You need to get somewhere safe..."

"What will Shia-san... do?"

"... I don't know, but I'm leaving here to avoid bothering you."

You can't leave this man like this.

That's absolutely no good.

But I can't stop this guy... but I can't do anything.

"Mr. Shea."

"Before I do anything to you, I...."

"I won't stop you. Please wait a moment."

"... to?"

Look at the fragments of the Demon King's power taken out to compare.

As I lightly gripped it trapped in the crystal, I turned back and threw it all away.

"Eh!!"

"Yeah yeah!?"

"... okay"

For now, throw a crystal with fragments of the poisonous Demon King's power out of sight and approach her.

Shea alternates between the flying crystal and my face in confusion.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

I knelt in front of her confused and was told to take out a bottle of spare food and water from my cape and pack it into a large backpack that was to be carried beforehand.

"Please take this.It contains food and water. "

"But...."

"I can't stop you.This is the only thing I can do for you in pain.... "

I was hungry and my clothes were worn out.

The blankets and jackets I had for the rush... after that, I'll be back in the city, so I'll pack everything I can.

"Thank you, Keira.... I want you to tell the rabbit I'm sorry..."

"If you say such a lifetime goodbye, Mr. Usato will be angry."

Speaking like that, I give it to Shea to press.

After receiving the backpack with both hands, she finally spilled a smile.

"I'm sure Mr. Usato will come to your rescue."

"... yeah"

"Don't give up. Maybe... yeah, I'll never give up on him."

"... thank you."

As she stood up, Shia disappeared into the woods holding her backpack.

After I dropped her off, I took a deep breath and picked up a crystal that contained the help of the Demon King I had just thrown.

"Come on, I..."

I'm worried about Shea, but I've done everything I can.

There might have been a better way... to reflect on it later.

"I have to meet Koga and the others first!!"

Usato-san may still be fighting!!

Maybe... no, just in case you're pinched!!

In order to help him in such a situation, I have to join Koga and the others as soon as possible!!

"As soon as you decide to do that--"

"Alright, I caught up!!"

"Kyaaaaaaaahhh!?"

As soon as she tried to jump up, she screamed at the rabbit who appeared through the bushes from behind.

Ehhhhhhhh!?

"Usato-san!? Who are you chasing!?"

"It's okay! I think they won't come after me because I blew it with healing magic!!"

"Blow up with healing magic!?"

No, it's not funny that this person blows up his opponent with healing magic.

The problem is that even though we're surrounded by 11 enemies, we don't have noticeable injuries.

Rather, I was caught up in a normal run... but you're doing a terrible thing to think calmly...?

"The devil's fake... isn't it?Yeah, that's impossible. "

"Why were you immediately convinced...?"

There is no other way to express healing magic and blow the opponent away.

In that sense, Mr. Usato in front of me can definitely be said to be authentic.

But...

"Just for a moment, I think I know how Amako and the others feel."

"... fufu"

"It's not funny, is it?"

"Hi...."

I didn't mean to blame you, but you apologized.

I deluded the depressed Usato-san and distracted him from the topic.

"Anyway, I'm glad we made it!!"

"I'm glad you're okay.Shia... didn't make it... "

"... yes"

I wonder if Mr. Usato had noticed, or if there was no sight of Ms. Shia around, I could see a serious expression.

In the meantime, I dive into the cape and attach it to Usato. I'll talk about the conversation I had with Shia earlier.

"So she had a fragment of the Devil's power unconsciously....."

"Probably."

"... the training has stopped."

Usato, who was listening silently while flying in the sky, murmured small.

"I'll stop as soon as I get there. It's just before sunrise....."

I know it's urgent.... worst of all, don't worry, I sleep in my cape. "

"It's similar to Ferm's magic...."

Did you assimilate Mr. Ferm?

... mmm.
