It's been a long time since the three of us got together.
I'm delighted to be gathered here now because I haven't been able to meet with the Demon King Realm, Senpai, or Kazuki in the castle for a while.
Seems like there were a lot of things in the Demon King Realm.
"Well, well, it's just a little too much for a lot of things..."
Mostly demonic or Shia-related.
Although I had only spoken a little, I should have told Kazuki about Shia, who had the same light magic.
Keira's in the lifeguard corps, isn't she?
Yeah, I think I'm training for the Commander now.
I'm sure it's going to be tough on you... well, it's kind of like a rite of passage here.
And I believe Keira can get over it.
"What happened to Kazuki?"
"I study at the castle." I've been taught codes and laws and everything. "
"I-I think it's tough..."
”Even if I don't go to school, I'm still studying,” she said, crying.
That's something I need to do given the future of Kazuki.
But he himself is doing it seriously, and it's going well.
”But if you're unhappy... you're a little dull.”
"Ahh..."
I've been practicing magic turning for a while, but I don't know if I can do it properly.
Magic turning is a simple technique, but I guess what Kazuki cares about is whether it's improving.
Certainly, it is a technology that does not know much about visible changes, so Kazuki, who will be busy recently, has no way of confirming it.
"Now, Kazuki, give me a hand."
"Hmm? Ahh"
Then, I shake Kazuki's hand and cast healing magic.
Continuing to speak to him with magic that thinly enveloped his whole body.
"Try to turn the magic force as it is"
Is that so?
The magic of healing that covered Kazuki circulated throughout his body, combined with his own magic power.
I nodded and let go of him as I felt the magic power flowing gently without much disturbance.
Yeah, I'm doing fine.
"Did you just understand...? That's amazing."
"That's my line."
Since there is no distortion in the flow of ruinous magical power, if you think about doing it, you will immediately degrade the system...?
No, in the first place, the technique of neutralizing Kazuki's light magic may also be a technique close to system deterioration.
And one more thing I could tell by feeling the flow of his magic.
"Kazuki, you should rest even more." You don't have enough sleep, do you? "
”Eh?... hahaha, oh dear”
I felt that the healing magic focused on my eyes, neck, and shoulders.
I don't know how I could feel that much, but with my level of healing sensing, I could tell where I needed my healing magic...
"Hey, hey, Mr. Usato, do the same for me!!"
"Yes, yes."
Take the hand of the senpai who shows a tremendous tenderness at such a time, and let the magic flow just like that of Kazuki.
——— I knew it, but senpai was just acquiring some system deterioration, and he was quite skillful in turning his magic.
"How was it!?"
"Energetic"
"Yes, I've lived a healthy life too much!!"
No, isn't that a good thing?
While smiling bitterly at senpai, I remember that I wanted to talk to Frana, an Elf, rather than Kazuki...
Kazuki, did you come back to the Kingdom of the Ringles?
"I just received a letter saying that you will come back to the Kingdom of the Lingles, but it will take a few days from the village of the Elves, right?"
"Ah, I see..."
"Did Frana have anything to ask you?"
I nodded to Kazuki's words and checked my surroundings.
Yeah, it's okay to talk about it.
In fact, in the realm of monsters, she was a mixed-blooded child of the Elves and Demons who possessed dark magic.
"I wonder if she's a pretty girl...!?"
There must be something more to eat.
In a sense, I proceeded with the conversation with reassurance in response to Senpai's reaction as expected.
"The Dark Wizard who drove the Demon King Realm and the descendants of the Elves who moved to the monster realm away from the battle between humans." My name is Roone... but I was hoping maybe I could talk to Frana about something. "
"Was that so?" What's he doing now? Did you protect the Demon King Realm? "
"No..."
I don't know where Rune is because she's gone after Shia.
Honestly, I'm worried.
When I hear that there is a monster in the realm of monsters... I get a lot of delusions.
"In fact, it was a series of surprises." When I met Roone, I felt like I was being attacked by an unidentified creature. "
"I knew it was just you!! I wanted to venture out too!!"
Senpai slaps his legs with both hands like he's kneading waste.
If you were in the monster realm, you'd definitely have a good time.
"What kind of life did senpai live in the lifeguard group while I was gone?"
To change the subject, I'm going to ask you about senpai.
"Hmm, I had some fun days." But when I hit Mr. Rose, I thought I'd really break my head. "
Did you mess with the leader of the regiment when you asked him to do it?
”I chased her around trying to deepen her relationship with the tongs, and she got angry.”
It's hard for them to escape.
"But they seem to be too weak for the strength of your pushing..."
Maybe I saw Rose, and I felt sorry for her, and I came to her aid.
"Senpai has an extreme method of distance packing." Even if you didn't struggle so much in the original world, it would be tough. "
"Fu, I'm a beautiful girl...!!"
... that's why, senpai, did you have a bug about how to pack your distance with someone you've never met!?
In the original world, even if you didn't close your distance from senpai, you would have gathered people around you who wanted to get along.
When you think about it, you are convinced that the way you pack yourself away from people is not very good.
Somehow I know the fact of the shock even more now.
"In retrospect, I had a strange sense of distance..."
"At that time, Kazuki-kun might have been the same, so it might have been hard to understand."
I think of the last time I came to this world.
At that point, I didn't expect it to be like this... there was really a lot of it.
"However, the lifeguard group's environment is optimal for training." Because of this, I was able to learn about system degradation from fragmented information. "
"When it comes to system deterioration... does it feel like the opposite of system strengthening?"
Kazuki had heard about the system deterioration for the first time, so I actually showed him my magic power and explained it to him.
Then he floated a magic bullet from his palm.
Do you want to give it a try? As I watched, Kazuki, who was tilting his neck and playing with magic bullets, wore a cage, a hero's weapon, in his left hand.
Mm-mm.
The color gradually faded from the magic bullet that was attached to the cage, turning into a translucent white object.
Looking at the sole like a white bubble, he gasped lightly and turned to me and Senpai.
"Is it like this?"
"Senpai and Kazuki are amazing..."
I'm not particularly shocked.
I thought you two would learn how to do it right away, and I had that much experience. Rather, it was good to be able to help the two of them.
"From my point of view, I think it would be better if a rabbit weaved this out on its own." Normally, I can't think of anything that would degenerate the properties of magic power itself. "
"I agree with that."
Looking at Kazuki's magic bullet, I was only slightly flinching at the words of their praise.
Light magic that has diluted its properties due to system degradation... don't worry about what kind of thing it is.
"Kazuki, why don't you try throwing it regularly?"
Oh, I'm curious how it's different from elasticity.
Kazuki nodded, lightly releasing magic bullets nearby.
His magic manipulation made the magic bullets fly straight into the air! It burst with the sound of a rupture and disappeared.
……
... like a bubble, like a bubble itself.
It was almost harmless because it had little light magic effect.
"I'll do it again..."
With a uniform silence, Kazuki creates even more magic bullets created by system deterioration from both hands ——— and releases them to the target, breaking them all at once with the sound of "baba-baba-baba!!".
I and my senpai called out to Kazuki, who was stunned by the idyllic sight.
Well, that's cute magic.
"I-I think it's going to be popular with kids."
"I'm glad you two are consoling me, but on the contrary, that's what's tormenting me...!"
Unusually depressing, Kazuki.
No, it looks pretty fancy, and I think it's much better than all the dangerous light magic I've seen!?
"I can sense magic power!? It's not strange to be able to sense magic power at a level as good as magic power!!"
"Oh, that's right..."
Kazuki, who made some more bubbles, cracked them with his fingers as his eyes meditated.
Pahn, when the magic bullet disappeared after scattering particles of light ——— Kazuki's expression surprised.
"So, it's ready! Wow, for a moment, I can see how we reacted in the position where the magic power bounced." This is magic sensing... it feels kind of weird like I'm getting more perception... "
"The light magic bubble was like a road show, but if the bubble itself was within the magic sensing range, the story would change"
Senpai thrusts a magic bullet with his fingers as he winks.
Pahn, she put her index finger up after observing the magic bullet that was bouncing again.
In other words, Kazuki can now detect the intrusion of external enemies by placing a large number of light magic bubbles he created!
"... moreover, system deterioration is also a technique to suppress the consumption of magic power, so it's good for Kazuki, who has a lot of magic power from the beginning."
"Hmm, that's right."
Not for attacking, but for spotting.
If I can sense it by the magic power of the healing sprayed on it, then Kazuki can sense the external enemy who cracked the magic power of the bubble ball arranged like a torpedo.
My sensing range was limited, but Kazuki's magic bullets were all I could get.
"... my new use of magic." If you can master this better, it could be a demon countermeasure. All right, let's do our best! "
Unlike me, it seems to be effective against demons because it can be installed in quite a range.
I knew I could do something new. I got up and got mad. Looking at him like that, I speak to the senior next door. [M]
By the way, can senpai sense magic power?
I can, but due to my magical properties, it's not easy to use in normal conditions.
Certainly, Senpai was just as aggressive as Kazuki.
So, in a state of system deterioration?
"Yes, but unlike Rabbit-kun and Kazuki-kun, I can only do a narrow range." I use it in conjunction with Thunder Beast Mode 0... mainly for counter use. "
I felt like I was specializing in close-quarter combat rather than spotting enemies.
It's interesting that senpai specializes in magic sensing over short distances, medium distances, and long distances.
Haha, that's for sure.
I smile and scratch my cheek casually, and I look at him and lean my neck.
"Huh? Rabbit, did you leave your hand on the basket?" Even though I wear it all the time
"Huh? Speaking of which, Mr. Usato, you haven't followed me since you returned to the Lingle Kingdom, have you?"
"..... ah"
There's been so much since you left, you forgot to tell senpai...
I'm going to tell you my frustration, but it's true, so I'll tell you both.
I'll explain to both of them that Shia took my hand.
”I've been robbed of my hand!?”
Well, I was naturally surprised.
"Was that how much you used to manipulate Shia Garmio's body?"
"No, that was the end of the move, but it was my cowardice that took my hand."
"... it's about you." It was about taking care of Shia Garmio's body, wasn't it? "
Sometimes the opponent was good.
Having heard the whole story, senpai puts his hand on his chin and shows how he thinks.
"However, if I had to turn my back on the hero's weapon, I wouldn't be able to exert light magic satisfactorily without using the sole."
"She couldn't handle the system enhancements..."
The cage hand itself shouldn't be able to handle it right away.
It was adjusted exclusively for me by Master Farga.
"Rabbit"
"Hmm?"
When I looked at him in his voice, I saw Kazuki touching me with his left hand.
"I probably don't need the armor of a hero anymore, so why don't you ask Lord Falgar to give it to Usato?" I guess the rabbit still needs a cage hand..... "
Shaking his head to the side, he was delighted with his kindness.
Even if the mission of the brave man is over, you need the power of Lord Falgar.
"Rabbit..."
And I said, "Well, like me, there's something you need to do, right? Then you should have that handkerchief."
I don't know what's still lurking in this world like a demon.
I want Kazuki to have a basket for that.
"Don't worry about me." I'm looking for a new way to fight by losing my hand. "
It's not all bad to lose your hand.
You can also train your skills to make up for it. One of them was the healing flush taught to me by Aul-san.
”Fufu, then I'll give it to you... it's wild.”
"Senpai isn't going to give it to me from the beginning...?"
"Oh, that's not supposed to happen, is it?"
Your voice is trembling.
Senpai looks good at fighting with his sword, so I'd rather you have it.
... it's time to cut that story out.
"I need to talk to you two."
"What's the matter with you?"
I will explain to the two of them in a strange manner the festival "Festival of Heroes" that will be held in the Kingdom of Rio to Karm, which I talked about in the castle the other day.
"I'm headed to Rio to find out about Shia... but I have a lot of problems going there alone."
Ahh, the name of Usato was also known in the fight against the Demon King.
You were rampaging around at the last meeting, too.
"Yeah, it's something I can't help but talk about..."
Continuing the conversation with a bitter smile at the two people who were convinced.
"If I go alone, I may be perceived to be in Rio or other countries, so I suggested that I go to Rio to accompany the festival" Festival of Brave Man "."
”Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Didn't Kazuki know? He reacts the same way he did when I was there.
It's the festival of the Kingdom of Rio in Calm, which brings together the brave people of all countries.
Did you know senpai?
"It was an interesting festival for me." I couldn't see it when I went on the letter-writing journey because it was out of time... but it seemed to be quite a large-scale thing. "
Senpai had been to Calm Rio before, so it was strange to know.
"So, what you're trying to say is that either I or Kazuki would like you to go to Calm Rio with me..."
"Yes, that's right."
I nodded to the senpai who immediately understood the content of the story.
I'm really sorry, but I know I can cause unwanted confusion on my way to Rio.
"Don't be so sorry." Honestly, we're glad you can count on us. [M] ".... Kazuki-kun."
"That's right. I don't even think it would be annoying if the rabbits didn't rely so much on us."
"Thank you both..."
I thanked Senpai and Kazuki for their kindness.
With a smile of satisfaction, Senpai immediately turned his eyebrows into an eight-shaped shape, troubling him and putting his arms together.
"Now, the question is whether I or Kazuki-kun are going to Calm for Rio....."
No, I think you should go to Calm and Rio.
Huh?
Kazuki's immediate response left me and my senpai dumbfounded.
"Oh, is that okay!? To be honest, I was prepared to exchange blades here!?"
"What are you prepared for..." Well, it's one of the reasons I should stay in a position. "
Kazuki, who had his index finger up, explained in turn why he was not going to Calm for Rio.
The other thing is, I'm weaker mentally than the two of us.
"I don't think so, but..."
"Compared to the two of you, it's nothing." Senpai has been to Calm and Rio before, and he's mentally fierce, so I'd like you to go in that sense. "
To be sure, Kazuki's seniors, who were screaming at the ground, were wolfing.
Isn't that too much to say, Kazuki?
"It's true that senpai is very graphic, and he has no mental problems..."
"Usuat-kun, shall I show you that the older heterosexuals cry without shame or external appearance?" Hmm? Are you serious?
I'm a little rattled by senpai who makes a threat with a serious face that's too horrible.
I think it is said that such a place is frightening.
However, senpai is able to live normally in a life saving group, and I can rely on it very much when I have to.... but that doesn't mean Kazuki can't do it.
"To be honest, I want to be a rabbit, but when it comes to fighting demons, I'm like an amateur." Then we'd better leave it to senpai who's been fighting the devil before. "
"... All right. I'll go to the Brave Gathering Festival."
Kazuki, who nodded deeply to senpai, stood up.
Looking up at the sky, he collected a lot of magic power in his hands ——— and suppressed the light.
This is trying to unleash the magic of system degradation...?
"System deterioration" "Light float ball (bubble)" "
The moment he spread his hand wide, a magic bubble of clear power unleashed spread into the training ground.
I was stunned by the fluttering solo as it reflected the light of the sun, but I looked back.
"In the absence of Usato and senpai, I will protect their places of return and their loved ones." No matter who they are, I won't let them touch one finger. "
If his magic were to be able to place itself within the bounds of the realm... the devil would never be able to do anything.
"Um, hmmm... that's right, I..."
"Ah, Usato-kun, Kazuki-kun." Wellness is awake. "
It was my fault that Mr. Wellsie woke up from a capa-over and fainted.
Mr. Wessey, lying in the shade of the tree, rose to his feet as he looked around him and saw a thin bubble of light floating around the training ground, stiffening it.
"...... Wasatosan, what did you do this time?"
I'm sorry, I know you're going to be the first to come after me, but this isn't me.
We immediately went to explain the situation to Mr. Wellsie, who spoke with tears in her eyes.
