I escaped.
Training was hard.
I didn't want to fight Meena.
I didn't want to waste any more effort.
I didn't want to be fooled.
Various reasons...... no, I have an excuse.
Every one of them unfortunately recognises how small and weak a human being is: himself. It may have happened since I woke up to the magic of healing magic, or it had been decided that I would be as abusive as I had been since I was born in the first place.
"Ugh..."
Unpopular dark and narrow alleys.
Sitting in that alley with no shards of convenience enough not to even pass the subhuman, he just stares at the ground, frustrated by his sense of powerlessness.
Whenever Meena and the others are about to bully me, I run away here. Nobody knows this place, and I'm not trying to lean on it. Mine, my own secret place. No one would even know that there was a path like this, and it seemed to me to be a more calming place than any place I would have forgotten immediately, even if I remembered.
"Ugh... ugh"
Cry as usual in such a place.
No shame, no hearsay, no one's coming. Tears even in this place.
Sometimes I'm frustrated and crying, but today I was crying for different reasons.
"Sorry, please... please... please"
I ran away.
Usato... not from Meena.
I even feared that face yesterday, that smile that made me look down on myself, laugh, feel innocent without any pity. I understand. An obsession that seemed itself abused over the years, even a madness hidden in her delightful expression, as imprinted.
My body trembled. The hope of saying victory, which seemed insignificant without denial, was crushed.
I thought I could grow. I woke up with the nasty magic of healing magic, and my life went crazy, and I thought I could grow up, be recognized by everyone, and be as strong as Usat...
I also managed to endure painful training when I thought so.
I ate my teeth and tied them up and endured that I was about to pass out.
Even when Blue Grizzly chased me, I pushed fear to kill him and ran desperately.
I worked desperately to ensure that Mr. Usato's cursing voice could not be directed at me.
But I was exposed to an innocent malice called Meena, and it cooled me down all at once.
What's the drill for just running?
What do you want me to do with my legs?
Why do I have to do healing magic while running?
Why do I have to try a battle that I can't win because I feel so miserable?
No, it's not.
All this is a convenient excuse.
Mr. Usato's training made proper sense. My legs are light enough to realize that I'm clearly different from what I was a few days ago in that evidence. Even my health was amazing.
This achievement in just two days of training. There's nothing wrong with Mr. Usato's training, it was obviously me who was wrong.
Yesterday it's already time to run, but I'm sitting here crying pitifully and desperately on my own in a place like this.
"... I'm an idiot..."
I'm afraid to fight Meena.
It's scarier than anything to fight him.
If we lose, we'll be able to see worse. I can't really imagine it getting any worse, but maybe it's not strange that Meena shows so much brutality as far up as she imagines.
That's fine then.
If you're the only one who fits the unfortunate eye...... but if you lose, both Usat and one of the brave ones can make amends to Meena. Because he tried to compete against me like he was running away...
"I didn't want you to expect anything......"
If this were to happen, it would have been better if you hadn't stood in hope.
I wish I had only hurt myself.
The wound heals on its own. I wish I was the only one hurt.
That way no one expects me, I have nothing to expect from anyone either.
I don't have to get involved with Usat, with the brave... with the beastly Kirikhas who lent me the bunk.
"... uhh... uhh"
I couldn't stop crying when I thought about it that way.
Because the memory of the last two days has been evoked.
I was just training hard.
Even if such a hard training was a push of goodwill, it was the kindness of someone I hadn't touched in a long time.
Mr. Usato tried to train me.
I couldn't do it. I didn't let go of me using curative magic.
He encouraged me to lose consciousness over and over again.
I'm tired and I can't go home on my own. You carried me to Mr. Killiha's dorm and served warm food.
Beyond the hedges of the beast man and man, it was a good memory to be flabbergasted to see Mr. Usat joyfully bickering.
Kirikha and Kyou, plus I didn't look satsuki or particularly disgusted.
I always remembered that one dinner was so colored.
"uhhhhhhhh..."
I would have had those memories and I would have broken the future myself.
I let go of my happy moments so much that I also forgot my warm memories with my abominable family.
This time there is nothing left.
Just keep waiting for sanctions from Meena.
But I've given up on this. It's my downfall. At the very least, let's not bother Mr. Usato and the others. I'll make sure Meena doesn't get involved with Usat and the others at any cost.
"... eh"
Swallow a whimper and wipe your eyes.
Let's go. I'm not an animal man, but I'll do anything, Dogeza.
I'd rather choose the best future that won't hurt anyone but me than try Meena with a broken heart and lose and feel miserable.
"I have to go..."
"Okay, I found it"
"Huh..."
At that moment when I caged my strength in my knees to get up, my voice sounded so bright in the dark alley that it was out of place.
The voice lost its leg power and sat on the ground again, turning its neck in the direction of a loud voice, there was a boy standing there in a white coat that stood out in a dark space so out of place.
Her face is dark and invisible, but her voice, her lips move naturally in her standing position.
"Usato, …"
●
Finding Knuck was very easy.
Even if it's easy, it's hard for me to find it unless I run around town all by myself, except with Burlin and Amako.
Follow Knuck with Brulin's nose first. I can't tell you exactly where it is just by following the smell, but I dare you, we're going to work out where the hit is going to get us. In the middle of this, Amako sees the future if she 'searches where she went earlier'.
Squeeze all ranges with Brulin's nose and look for lice to lice the knuckles that would be within squeezed range with Amako's predictions. Exactly the perfect collaboration... although I'm not at all helpful.
As a result, we could find Knuck in a short time, but when we first discovered him, he was pretty panicked because he was whimpering, pushing his voice to death and crying.
Was it that hard to train!? You're lying...... I was going to be as nice as I could.
You're more conscientious than Rose for pinching a break in between just a minute, but no, wait. Isn't it normal to put a break in the first place?
………
And, for now, I try to discuss it one-on-one with him as he drives the little fox and bear outside the alley watching him blame me behind him.
Speak as lightly as possible, watch his reaction, and then sit next to him for ease of discussion.
Looking at Knuck, who kept me in sight and then leaned down while fleeing reality because it was the ground in an alley without sunshine, he remained either awkward or leaning down with me.
"Oh, uh... what, with"
"It's such a small city. We'll never find you."
I didn't do anything myself, but hey.
I laugh ridiculously at Nack, who just looks up with his eyes as if he can't believe it.
"Sorry. I think I made it a little too harsh. I knew I wasn't used to teaching people anything."
"Chi, no... no. So. The reason I ran away wasn't because of Usato, but because I realized I wasn't prepared to fight Meena..."
"Scared to notice...?
Didn't you dislike the training?
Then why were you crying in here? Leaning his neck and wondering, he began to tell Potty Potty why he was crying here.
As I listened, I found that something more akin to imprinting than his fear of Meena was something deeper than I imagined. Whatever it is, it's enough to break his heart just once, face to face.
That would be unimaginable to me.
"Were you annoyed by Meena because you're a healing wizard?
I didn't dare ask you these past two days. If it's going to be this far, you better know it.
"... I was close enough to know him in my hometown. Even so, the families were close to each other..."
That we're close enough to know each other and our families are close to each other...... that? Sure, I heard Meena's a noble daughter, but maybe Nack is, too?
No, even so, I don't understand more and more. If Nak's house were to belong to a nobleman, he would be treated the same way as Meena.
But isn't reality the exact opposite?
"As Mr. Usato wonders, I am originally out of a wealthy house. Before I came here, I realized I had a pretty good life."
"What's that?
"Most of the lineage people in my house wake up to the lineage magic that conducts the water. My mother, who married someone who was my father, was also deliberately chosen to have a wizard with a water system... naturally, this I was also supposed to learn the magic of the water system under a wizard instructor hired by my father..."
"... healing magic"
"Yeah, on my ninth birthday before I came here, I was going to find out what phylogenetic magic my sister and I were. Naturally, my parents thought both me and my sister would be the magic of the water system... But it turns out my sister was the only one who showed the suitability of the water system."
I laughed at myself. I felt some emptiness in his appearance.
The worst predictable possibility emerges at this point in the story.
If you look at the current situation of Knak, a foreign body born into a nobleman proud of his family and blood ties, perhaps his parents......
"Then my routine changed. That was so sweet. My father and mother got cold like people changed and I couldn't even meet my sister who was close... Ha, you sound stupid, don't you? You're discriminated against just for magical propriety, aren't you? At the end of the day, he was forced into Lukvis to kick him out of the mansion. At that point, there was no place for me to go... but my heart was lighter than when I was in the mansion. Finally liberated, I thought so..."
When I first met him, I thought, was Nack in such a hurry because he was desperate to take classes to avoid being kicked out of school, which would be his last place?
It depends on where I live, so I can be convinced to panic.
But even the last place for him, the school, could not be a place of euthanasia.
"So Meena, who wasn't very close, took you..."
"I don't know why Meena annoys me. There are many verses where I think it's because of my parents or healing magic... but either way, I... I don't want to go back to my old house."
………
Heavy...
Why do I know so many people with such heavy problems? Is it in a good shape to attract people like that? If so, I'm too sick of mental health.
But I heard his troubles. I guess there's no option to abandon him at that point.
"At last, Meena's not getting along, but for some reason, she's a pain in the ass, okay?
"No, not such a cute thing..."
"I also found your parents to be quite assholes. I also know that you have nowhere else to go back to. [M] So what do we do now? When you graduate here and you have to travel... what do you do?
"Oh, that's..."
This world is tougher than you think.
Seeing a country ruled by a peaceful and gentle king named the Kingdom of Ringle makes me almost forget, but in other countries we also have to pay close attention to the slave trade, banditry, demons, moving the country and the country.
In the meantime, I would answer that it would be quite difficult if he were asked if he could stand alone with only the only skill he would say healing magic without any claws or connections.
Did he know that too, distort his expression and see the ground.
I get up slowly, laughing at him like that. [M]
"You can come to the lifeguard."
"... eh"
"We talked about the lifeguard, didn't we? There are three healing wizards like you and me after, and one of them is different from you... you mean? Well, it has similar healing magic. It's comfortable... if you meditate on the unreasonableness of the captain and the noise of his colleagues, the devils, and the creatures."
From what I've seen of him over the last two days, some getting used to it would do the training for the Ferms position.
When it comes to healing magic, there is also a path to becoming a lifeguard in black that is the same as both of those strong faces at the point where they can heal their bodies. Either way, Rose wouldn't refuse.
"I can't, but it's my hand to come to the kingdom of Ringle. My friend's healing wizard wanted help with the clinic. If you don't want to be trained in the life-saving corps any more than you are now, you can start there from scratch."
Mr. Olga and Mr. Uluru's ex can do well, too.
Even the healing magic of Knuck. Maybe it'll go back to normal.
"Hey, wait a minute!! Oh, what are you going to do with me and Meena fighting!? If I don't fight like this, Mr. Usato will..."
"Well, you don't have to bother to get paid or anything, and if you threaten to seal your mouth to some extent, you'll be fine."
"Yep, yep!?
Honestly, I didn't need to get paid for Meena or anything, and either way, I was thinking about stepping down if it was an unscrupulous request. Well, that's only a last resort.
Blah, nobility. If you don't have the power of a house, you're just a little girl, very... very distressing, but I don't hate ghosting my heart.
I'll do it in the nori.
Finally, Senior Kamikami invites you too.
"I'll get you a place to go. So never mind, it sounds silly to be crushed with both assholes who mistake magic for fashion or something, right? You should be happy where you can take advantage of your flavors."
"............"
"I cannot take you directly to the kingdom of Ringle because I am entrusted with an important journey now. So I'll write to you instead... it might just take a little while because I'm not used to writing yet."
Take a breath there and look down at the nack.
Well, I'm starting to get scared that I'm going to be okay now that I'm on my own. Mr. Olga and Mr. Uluru will be fine. But about Rose, he said, "Hey, how long have you been in a position to increase your team on your own?" or something like that. I'm very likely to get pissed off and bummed off, so all I get is fear.
Well, maybe when I get home safely, I'll catch a terrible eye, won't I?
... well, let's not think about that.
"What do you want me to say so far?
"... are you sure..."
"Fine or nothing, you're the one who chooses. I'll just show you the way."
Now let me show you the way, as Rose did to me when I came to this world.
I look up at this one. I give my hand to Knuck. When he looked at that offered hand and let his eyes wave wide, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve before approaching the dreaded hand and stopping on the brink.
"I figured I'd fight Meena..."
"There's nothing you can't do, is there?
You don't have to go out of your way to take risks.
As he slowly shook his neck to the side of my words, his red, swollen eyes aligned straight with this one. In the blind, blackened eyes, it had changed from more gloomy than it had just been, to more reliable with a slight light.
"I don't deserve to go where Mr. Usato is right now. I'm not convinced it's not until I can cut off the cause with her properly and face her properly. So for that..."
Once separated, he grabbed my hand and stood up.
"To me...... train me!!
For the first time here, I felt like Nack and I were in accord.
Maybe it's because of our minds, but I don't hate this feeling of each other's wills meshing disappointingly.
Then... let me stop making myself sweet by projecting myself to him already. This sweetness is not for the sake of knacks, but rather rude in itself.
"Fine. But I won't be nice next time. [M] I won't stop you from trying to pass out. [M] If he faints, beat him up and heal him even if his leg stops moving. Whatever it takes, keep moving as long as your magic runs out."
"Huh............ Ya, I'll do it! No more weak sounds or stupidity!!
What is it between now and now?
I felt that it took a moment for me to agree.
... Well, let's not worry about that.
"Then let's get out of this dark place quickly. We'll start training when we get back to school."
"Ha!"
From the dark alley, head towards the street where Burlin and Amako are.
Three days left to work out the knack, including today. I've lost a little time, but that's just fine. Nack is full of motivation, and most importantly, I can train him without caring.
The truth is, I was experientially tempted to use a means like Rose's, but the idea that I would spare him if I saw his will disappeared completely.
But can I train like Rose... No, you can, you can. Nack trusts me. [M] It's like my mission to live up to that trust.
Let's throw away the extra goodwill, compassion and sympathy.
Let's ghost our hearts for him.
At this time, I don't mind being scolded as an outsider.
Hit the body, not the head, with all the running techniques applied to me.
Three days left, I 'm-- I'm gonna be a livestock S.
"... Ugh, chills..."
What's wrong with the nack walking next door suddenly bluing his complexion?
