I think the number of people in the lifeguard corps has increased considerably.

Well, it was like I pulled in.

Just because the number of people has increased doesn't mean that the life-saving troupe itself will change, it just means that each of them will spend the daily routine of training as usual.

In the event of an emergency, dispatch at the castle commander's command and carry out duties as a life-saving corps.

The role of rescuing injured people on the battlefield has been switched to a wider scope of work.

Now, Keira's training begins today.

Three days have passed since I returned to the Kingdom of Lingle.

In the meantime, I was in a hurry with the reports and stuff, but today is Keira's first training day, and I decided to show my face.

Thanks for coming, Knuck.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Knuck also stopped by the clinic to help me.

The first meal of the first day's welcome party seemed to be the first thing gone, and there was no sinister atmosphere with Keira.

"Nack, are you ready to come?"

Keira speaks to Nack like that.

It was a shattered tone, not a salutation, of the same age.

Yeah, I was trained by Mr. Rose, and I'm like a senior.

"Knuck, you're the same age."

"Even in the same age, the age is different."

Well then, how long?

"... about half a year"

"Is it so old...?"

"... shut up"

No, somehow, when you see a conversation that's appropriate for your age, it feels a little dull.

The appearance of a quarrel and a light voice resembles a bit of an exchange between me and the strong faces.

... I don't know, I'm still in my teens, but I feel like I'm watching my teacher.

"...... ah"

Nack, what's going on?

"No, it's a bit chilly..."

Are you okay?

She muttered as she saw where the snack was shaking her body.

Knuck's direction is probably Lukvis's, but... yeah, it's my imagination.

"So, Mr. Usato, I heard that Mr. Rose will be watching the training..."

Yeah. Before I do that, let me tell you something.

"I see..."

Shun smiles bitterly at Keira, who looks sorry.

I'd like to teach you if I could, but I don't have as much leadership as Rose.

Let's start by telling Keira about our readiness.

For now, training is all about keeping your mind strong.

"My heart..."

"Don't think about extra things." If you want to be more specific, don't think about it. "

?

I go on explaining to Keira who tilts her neck.

"'A little bit more' 'How long will it last?' 'When will it end?' Even if you just think about it, it'll only make it harder."

"That's what I was taught." At that time, I was kicked, but.... "

I didn't have much time when I was at Lukvis, and I was really training for Rose.

"But I'll do my best...!! I was watching Mr. Usato's training nearby!!"

If you're watching me train in the Demon King Realm, you still have a lot of room to spare.

"Keira, how bad was Mr. Ussat's training?"

"It was amazing how hard I can hunt down my heart!!"

……

Knuck is staring at me with his dazzling eyes.

And Keira's full smile seemed to pull him back.

"What were you doing in the Demon King Realm..."

You can use clap signals to push yourself up, or you can live a survival life in a safe forest without monsters.

"You're telling the truth, but you're not telling the truth...!?"

Why did you find out?

While coughing at Knuckle who looks at me with his dirty eyes, I take a brand-new notebook out of my pocket and hand it to Keira.

Keira, let's start with this.

"Wow, it's a diary!" Thank you!! "

"Ah......"

Knack's face looked like he had guessed.

Dare to go through it and explain it to Keira, who is cherishing her notebook.

“It's about what you think and feel in training. Sometimes you can spit out feelings of depression, or simply write down your shortcomings and points for improvement. Perhaps it will be important to protect your heart."

"Yes! I will take care of it!!"

Maybe she won't need it... but I'll have to give it to Keira for me, Felm, and Nack.

If you give me this far, it's like a tradition.

... by the way, I didn't give it to senpai... yeah, do you want him?

I think you know the rest, but you can't use dark magic unless instructed to do so during training.

“I know. I'm not cheating either.”

I didn't think Keira would do that, so I just said it formally.

"--Oh, you've got it all."

Looking back at the voice that came to the training ground, Rose came here.

I call out to her in her pure white regimental clothes. [M]

“Are you going to teach me now?”

Oh, you can't train a kid like that.

If you let Keira train what she has done, it will interfere with her development, and above all, I will overdo it.

I was able to train my men in the Demon King Realm because of their skills and their strength as Demon King soldiers.

Dear Sir, thank you!!

It looks like you're ready to go.

Keira shouted out loud with a beautiful bow, and Rose put her arms together.

After watching Keira for a few seconds, she suddenly turned to me.

"Are you the castle after this?"

"Yes, with senpai. I received a call from Mr. Wellsie to submit the report that I have compiled so far."

Nea helped me out, too.

I'm looking forward to meeting Kazuki at the castle.

"I've been busy for the last three days and couldn't come to see you..."

"He was pretty rough, too." I know you want to be pursued. "

"Do you need Mr. Wersey?"

Yeah.

Maybe it's some kind of system deterioration or something.

The letter I sent back to you when I was in Demon King's Realm was a lot of pursuit... In this case, do I have to explain the explosion of system strengthening and system degradation?

I was wondering if I could borrow a knight's cage at the castle.

"Get up and get the fuck out of here."

"Roger that. Ah, and..."

What?

Suddenly, when I met Rose, I thought I'd ask for a favor, so I'll tell you right here.

"If I have time, I'd like to ask for guidance."

“I don't care, I'll see how much you've grown.”

Thank you!

The training with Nero was also meaningful, but it still suited me better with my master, Rose.

You will get the experience and attention you deserve.

When I tried to leave the scene after throwing words lightly at Keira and Knuck, I felt something. Knuck shook his voice and raised his hand.

"Then I'll train myself somewhere else---"

Knack

Shiritori and Rose grab the collar of the knuckle that tried to leave the place.

"Temae is good at training healing magic, but isn't your body dull?" Along with Keira, I'll train you again. "

"... hi"

... Knuck, do your best!!

Listening to Nack's trembling voice behind me, I headed to the dormitory to take my report to the castle.



It was unexpectedly difficult to submit the report to the castle.

No, it didn't seem like it was this old-fashioned, but the people in the castle who saw what I had woken up and experienced in the Demon King Realm were in a state of stunning chaos.

It took a while for that to happen, but it ended around noon. Now, I and my senpai were taken by Mr. Wessey and were inside the castle's training ground.

"Thank you for your report."

"When I submitted it, it was quite noisy..."

I returned it with a bitter smile as I was labored by Mr. Wellsy.

There's no one else in the training ground right now but me, my senior, and Mr. Wersey.

At the time of the Demon King Realm, there were many unknown parts for us, but I didn't expect to receive information on the monster realm that was even more unknown.

"Is that so after all...?"

Yeah, I'm out of my league, but monster-related scholars are kind of eye-catching.

The monster realm is inhabited by monsters with different levels of ferocity and strength...

It was a harsh place to be, because I couldn't come back alive with half the gear.

That's why it's okay to say that monsters can survive in untouched environments.

"Monster realm, I wanted to go too...!!"

And then, while listening to the conversation between me and Mr. Welsie, senpai muttered such a thing in a flattering manner.

"Hey, did you find anything else in the Demon King Realm!? The ruins!!"

"That's sharp. There was a ruin."

There is something!?

"A city swallowed by a lake, a trap set by someone, a labyrinth filled with lake bottom ruins, a group of water dragons, countless skeletons protecting the labyrinth's secret treasure ——— and a fragment of the demon king's power erected as a secret treasure"

"Why are you all so adventurous like in the theatre!!?"

It was a series of adventures, though.

But in the end, it was like I was killed by Shea.

"Did you know about Wersey?"

"No, I haven't grasped all the reports yet... so I'm afraid to check them now."

What should I do? Mr. Wellsie's eyes are blind.

... if I find out about Roone in the report, it's going to be even more serious.

Let's talk like this and show you the skills we've learned in the Demon King Realm.

“That's right, I was really looking forward to this day.”

The purpose of my presence on the training ground was to reveal the technology I had invented in the Demon King Realm.

The technology derived from the magic turn is unknown in the world, so as a Welsey, it is a field that I would very much like to study.

First of all, it's the deterioration of the system.

I put magic power into my hands, gradually losing color.

The opposite of strengthening the system to enhance the quality of magic power ——— Show them the magic power that has changed to light green due to the deterioration of the system.

Is this the deterioration of Mr. Usato's system?

"It's an unbelievable phenomenon when you actually see it with your eyes..."

"In my case, the effectiveness of healing for others decreases, but it increases for me."

I wasn't sure what the principle was, but it was really the opposite of strengthening the system.

It's like the advantages and disadvantages are reversed.

"The reason I tried to do this... I tried to reduce my consumption by reducing the quality of my magic power in order to improve it, because I often tried to cause it to run out of magic power."

"I see... you tried to make it more efficient." Certainly, healing magic has almost no disadvantage over other attack magic..... "

Welsey wrote her thoughts in an open notebook as she watched my system deteriorate.

"I thought if I could help anyone with this, I might be able to help people like Alk and Olga who are worried about the quality of their natural magic..."

Alk could even burn herself with the magic of fire.

Olga's healing magic, which is close to strengthening the system, has reduced her healing power.

“I think it's worth trying.”

"I can't believe it."

“System deterioration. This is really amazing technology. There has never been a way to relieve the symptoms that can only be solved by suppressing magic power and avoiding handling it.”

Apart from Olga, Alk seemed really struggling with his own magic.

Even he is, so people who are troubled by other things may have a harder time.

"The problem is how to learn..."

"I feel like I've succeeded if I do it with the image of removing the color from my magic power due to the opposite of strengthening the system."

"In the case of Mr. Usato, it must have been because he had mastered system strengthening and was extremely skilled in magic turning."... exactly, it's too difficult to acquire system enhancements for mastery conditions. "

"Fufufu, actually, I am also learning about system deterioration...!"

... eh.

Senpai, you've mastered it!?

Fufu, to the surprise of me and Mr. Welsie, she suddenly wrapped her magic power around her body in an upbeat mood.

This is the normal Lightning Beast mode.

Senior with a rough electric shock.

However, immediately, the rough electric shock was suppressed into your body and your strength was concentrated.

"Thunder Beast Mode 2. And ---"

The golden lightning strike turns purple when senpai puts his strength into his body.

Thunder Beast Mode 3 of System Enhancement

... senpai, you haven't touched your sword, have you?

In other words, senpai has barely used the power of the sword.

But why are you explaining Thunder Beast Mode in sequence......? When Wessey and I turned to ask such questions, senpai smiled and closed his eyes while in Thunder Beast Mode and took a deep breath.

And this is the new appearance that enables the efficiency of magic power and long-term battle due to the deterioration of the system.

At the same time, the electric shock wrapped by senpai returns from purple to yellow.

Thunder Beast Mode 3 to 2, 2 to 1---and finally, senpai with a thin white light grin, whose color was lighter than the one on the sole.

"A new figure created by system degradation ——— named Lightning Beast Mode 0 (zero), thickness"

"Something cool...!?"

It's too big of a clump of taste.

I hate the sense of using zero instead of negative here...!!

That's right, senpai...!!

Senpai is even in a better mood when I'm behind him.

My system deterioration has reduced the attack power of lightning magic, and instead it has been able to activate the electricity in my body.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll skip out on electric signals and reflexes and all kinds of jargon... but the reflex nerves are getting better!! Instead, the movement speed will be slower than the rest of us."

Still no good, huh?

In other words, in one-on-one battles, seniors can always stay ahead of their opponents.

"I'm surprised that Master Suzune has mastered it."... why didn't you tell me? "

"Eh, ah, that's... there's a timing for this. Ah, ahahaha

Senpai is anxious to see Mr. Wersey with his eyes.

I guess I just kept my mouth shut so I could show you.

I was surprised, too. Perhaps senpai has reached a system deterioration only with fragmentary information from me, so that's amazing.

"But now we have two masters." Perhaps this will help us figure out how system deterioration works? "

"That's right. I'm afraid I might have to bother you both..."

“Don't worry about it. If you can help people with my technology, I will be happy to help you."

I'm not thinking of monopolizing it over the original.

"That's it, Mr. Rabbit."

Yes?

Actually, I'm a little worried about this system deterioration.

Worries...?

I wonder if you've found any flaws.

"Actually, I'm trying to deal with system deterioration and system enhancement at the same time, but this is really difficult..." Either way, one of them disappears. "

Of course I do.

Mr. Wellsy speaks for me. [M]

"The mechanism of system strengthening and system deterioration is the opposite. Positive and negative, so to speak. If you try to handle both at the same time, the magic power itself will not be able to repel, cancel, and activate properly."

"... I see, that's what it is."

... erm.

While feeling a little awkward, I strengthened the system in my right hand, and wrapped the magic power of the system deterioration in my left hand to show it.

Looking at my hands, they stiffen.

"Um, for once... I can do it"

"Huh? Huh, Mr. Ussat? Why can you do that!?"

Nea was mad at me once, but I didn't think this was the technology I used.

In my case, I try to divide the magic power within my body.

"Rasat-kun, I told you to separate, but I can't separate the flow of magical power flowing into your body so easily...? What kind of image are you doing?"

”The image...... is of a flow of magic power in a river... not by a train, but by changing the route, I feel that the [flow of magic power to strengthen the system] and [flow of magic power to deteriorate the system] in my body are independent,”

Honestly, I don't know because I'm doing it with my senses.

But now that I've been training to strengthen the system, I can just remember.

As far as I'm concerned, it's just a feeling that I've been applying what I've been doing.

"Do you mean that different concentrations of magic power are circulating separately in your body...? How could that be possible...?"

"I'd like to have another look at it..."

What surprises me is that I can see it, so I'll ask you to reflect on this while the impact is low.

I walked a little closer to the training area and stretched a ping-pong ball-sized magic bullet of systematic degradation.

This is a magic bullet that degrades the system.

Rusato-kun, can I take a look at the magic bullets?

"Application of elasticity, above"

"Kia yum"

While explaining that the story was unclear, I gathered the magic power of the system enhancement at my fingertips and touched it regularly.

Instantly, a rupture sound called pahn sounded, and the magic bullet sounded.

"After all, it's dangerous if you don't have a cage hand..."

"The system deterioration and system enhancement will explode when combined."

……

"Mr. Wersey?"

Oh, there's no response.

I wondered, but she didn't react. She waved her hand in front of Mr. Wellsie's eyes.

"I seem to have fainted after making a capa-over..."

"... no, I'm sorry about that."

Should we have taken more steps to show them?

After casting healing magic, I left Mr. Wellsy lying in the shade.

Both me and senpai sit down without taking a break.

Hmm, it still seems difficult for me to use system enhancements and system degradation at the same time.

“I don't think there's any need to force it?”

"But don't you think it's cool to handle white and purple shocks at the same time?"

"... certainly"

I have no choice but to agree to it if I am told to do so.

With a bitter smile, I breathe lightly. [M]

Somehow, this place will settle down.

"Now, this country is like our home to us."

Home, huh?

As you say, the Kingdom of the Ringles is my home in this world.

When I think about it, I notice someone coming out of the castle.

I and senpai face each other as soon as someone spotted me in the distance.

”... oh, Kazuki-kun's here”

Seems so.

Find him in the distance and get up.

Kazuki also noticed me and senpai, smiling and waving his hand.

"There it is! Hey!!"

"This way! Cuzky!!"

I also wave back to him. [M]

It's been a long time since we had all three of them.

"Yes, there are lots of souvenirs."

I greet him with a smile as he runs towards me.

He will have been busy for the past two months, but he looks fine.

Now, I'm going to talk about souvenirs... but I need to tell you about the Kamui Kingdom's Festival of Valor, which will be held soon.
