After Nair helped us and successfully left the cabin, we were up the stairs leading to the ground with Mr. Hayate, who still had no idea what was going on.
"Nair, is Amako okay?"
"Yeah, now it's night, so I'm deluding you. From that side, I'm just a demon of the owl, so it doesn't look that dangerous."
Mr. Hayate behind him leaked his surprise at the statement that Nair's user demon.
"The demon? Is the child a demon?!? Even though human demons are rare, I can't believe he's a demon..."
"Talk longer, so I'll skip that. My demon, Nair, had me transformed into an owl and followed him to Amako."
"Well, I don't think there's a human demon in the boulder..."
"Yes."
The user demon alone is not so dangerous.
Not to mention Nair plays the brain-weather owl naturally that doesn't even make him feel threatened or shard, so he can't even find out that this guy is a powerful demon.
"But I don't know what an operation is. What was the point of your conversation with Amako?"
"The first thing Amako told us was that she saw the prediction that we were going to die. First of all, that's the right prediction, but now she won't give up like that."
Nair stabbed me. Prediction.
Amako had placed absolute trust in his predictions, so he thought it would be the future as it were. But she learned and learned that the future was just one aspect and she couldn't understand everything.
From her mouth like that, there's no way there's a dialogue out there about giving up because you saw the prediction.
If she's that kid right now, she'll say, "Huh? Usat won't die to this extent." Absolutely.
In the first place, I knew it was a lie at a time when Nair wasn't in it, not to mention all my people.
"Instead, how can you die? It's like fighting a dragon man from the front, right? As for the human alc, anyway."
... Now that I'm explaining it to Mr. Hayate, let's do this later.
Remember, when I get back to the kingdom of Lingle, I'll give it to Senior Dog Ue with my dog ears...!
"And you're just about to think about it alone. First of all, Amako is not alone."
"... well. Amako had this girl..."
There's also Burlin.
On that occasion, I noticed because I dared only mention the names of me and Mr. Alk.
"And then... what Amako said I couldn't think of on my own. First of all, I knew Amako was lying, so I decided that Nair had a lead on saving Amako's mother. Isn't that right, Nair?"
Speaking that way to Nair walking in front, he turned around a little surprised.
"Well, I'm not sure, but I found it once. But... you've come to that idea a lot. Are you sure, Usato? Something's too conjectural and disgusting...... Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize, so stop ringing your hands in my ear."
"... ha. There's no way you won't find out about Twa."
My guess is that at the very beginning I knew Amako's words were lies.
As for Nair, she's lately lurking Nari, but her original girlfriend has a curious personality. It's more unnatural for Nair not to look into it, knowing about a special magic item called 'Twa'.
"My biggest anxiety was whether you were coming to help us. Well, I could break shackles and cages and get out, because then the noise would make me notice and make a scene. So I waited for you till the morning sun came out"
"Well, what you've been keeping quiet about..."
"It's a depressing act."
"... Alc too?"
Mr. Alk nodded bitterly at Mr. Hayate's words, and he dropped his shoulder disappointingly.
You worried about me.
You must have been angry for us, not just for Amako.
"Nair, have you seen Burlin? If you know where he is, I'd like to take him."
"Don't worry about that. I brought him here when I came here.... with her I stumbled upon."
"She? Did you bring anyone else?"
"Hey, no, I think you might be right to say I picked that up rather than bring it in."
?
Nair says that with a subtle look.
When I try to ask about it, the stairs end and I realize that I have reached the ground.
It's been a long time since I've even felt the outside air and the light of the moon plugging from directly above. When I finally went outside, someone jumped at me from the side of the door.
I thought it was the enemy!?, but when I realize who jumped at me, I inevitably take it as it is.
"Usato-! Amako just got caught! I tried to figure it out too, but I couldn't do it at all! Soldiers gave me sweets and sent me home!"
"Li, is that Linka..."
I can see that this gives Nea a subtle look as well.
It's something you hold on to with your sniveling, tearful face, so hold down your uniform so it doesn't get dirty and calm Linca down.
"Amako definitely helps. So stop crying first."
"Subi...... yeah"
Is this girl really fourteen?
You're the exact opposite of Amako, who's a grown man.
When I'm relieved by Linka, who finally stopped crying, Nair brings me closer from the direction she flew in.
"Gru."
"Brulin, what have you done?"
"Guhu."
Pong, and the look on Burlin's face that slapped him in the stomach is somewhere satisfying.
I'm guessing you didn't get a lot of rice for the Beast Man, did you?
... As it were, well, I'm glad Burlin is safe too.
"Linka! Good. You're safe! Did Jinya do something to you?!?"
Mr. Hayate, who followed me out, approached Linka with a relieved look.
Linka responded more pale than she thought to her reunion with her father.
"Ah. Dad. You came out, good. I'm fine."
"Oh, that? You're overreacting. Something like this... I was wondering if you could be happier..."
"Because it's your father. Amako is more important than that!"
"Hih, that's terrible..."
Is she a rebellious daughter...?
Mr. Hayate, who is dropping his shoulders heavily on the blatant Linka, turns around and turns to this one.
"... Usato, I'm calling Hoover now, do you mind?"
"Huh?"
"Hey, if you call me Hoover, they'll look around you."
Would you even send a letter to someone?
Nair's doubts are especially true, but he also has an idea for Mr. Hayate, so let's hear it to the end.
"In my position, I was entrusted with the task of assisting the chief of the clan, and as part of that, I commanded the guards for the security of the country. So I want to tell my men to get out of here and rendezvous away from the country... can't we?"
"Subordinates? Subordinates... are they the ones we welcomed together when we got here?"
"Yeah, you are."
You mean the beastly woman I scared.
I don't know what's going on, but I think sending Hoover here is a little inadvertent.
"... aren't you confused with Jinya's men or something?"
"I don't think so. Sometimes I've been a subordinate since before I was an assistant, and most importantly, I'd have had a better place to keep an eye on me if I'd given directions away from the scene."
I see.
If you're referring to an assistant chief, I guess you have a lot of work to do besides security.
Then you should let him dive into a closer position than bother to keep an eye on Mr. Hayate in the guard.
"Besides... we need one of our people right now."
Mr. Hayate's eyes, who shrugged so, also seemed ready for something.
Sure, I want one of my people when I think about what's to come.
Troubled with his hand on his chin, Mr. Hayate continues in a slight panic to spin his words.
"Oh, don't worry about Hoover either. It's not just a regular Hoobard, it's a troop-only Hoobard, so no one but my men should find out."
"Usat, you decide."
"... ok. But pay close attention."
Some parts are dangerous, but others are positive for us. At the rendezvous point where there is a danger of an ambush, you and I can follow Mr. Hayate.
Mr. Hayate, who nodded at my words, whistled his fingers.
All I had to do was wait for Mr. Hayate's hoobird, so I decided to use this time to talk to Nair.
"Nair."
"I know. Leave Amako to me."
"Thanks, and... you know how to help Amako's mother?"
"There's no certainty, though. But it's worth it... the problem is, we have to wait to finish the" twa "thing."
"Wait for it to finish? Is that why Amako stayed?"
"Yes."
If there's a 'twa' in the terms of saving Amako's mother, we have to let it form. But 'Twa' won't be organized without Amako.
So Amako stayed from herself.
"Amako is impotent too..."
"You're always so impotent. Do you understand how we feel?
Oh, this makes me want to say a lot.
When I'm in a position to do something, I feel like I can't do anything.
... Not now, if you're immersed in sentiment. Though it hasn't caused any noise, this is the middle of the enemy land. I can't stay long.
And I'll tell you what I found out about Jinya's predictive magic.
"Hmm? What?"
"Jinya's predictive magic is weaker than Amako's."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, he didn't say anything when he heard about Amako's predicted future. I'm guessing within ten seconds of normal predictability."
"How do you even know that?"
Nair grinned badly at the question that went on.
"'Cause your moves to catch you are too impersonal. Maybe he was trapping Usat because he thought he was just a human being. You were trying to make fun of me when I stopped Usato, weren't you? And it was a success, so I disturbed it."
"... I see"
"I mean, you see the future and you can only do that kind of thing, which means you know the predictive magic that Jinya uses."
I don't care if you're being treated like some kind of amazing out-of-the-way person, but let's put that aside.
I mean, according to Amako and Nair, Mr. Jinya's predictive magic is Amako's inferior compatibility? Well, I can't say it's weak magic either way, but you heard good things about this.
"And then I accept it after the fact... is it okay to use my abilities here?"
"... your ability, huh?"
In this case, you mean the vampire charm I used earlier and the ability to manipulate people, not magic. Until now, the power to confuse those who have forbidden their use on decency.
I don't want to take a way to manipulate people, the ability I've ever had them use before, but I don't have a hand to not use in this situation.
Instead, if you're getting cocked up to this point, I'll give it my full thought.
"How many people can you side with?"
"Myself, I have limited time to act, and I have Jinya with predictive magic, so I have to move with great care. Plus, there's a magic problem... about three of the soldiers here in three days... and I think we can do about a quarter of it."
"Can't you manipulate Mr. Jinya directly? Or troubled with charms."
"I can't do that. It's risky for a predictive magic opponent, and I'll explain it to you again, but the charm doesn't work for anyone, does it? It hardly works against someone as mentally strong as Usato."
Does it not work for those whose spirit is strong?
Plus the ability to manipulate people makes no sense if you have to poke them in the gap because you have to bite them.
They say the handy ones have drawbacks, but Nair's ability is no exception.
"It's almost impossible for a limited amount of time because the gatch bees are guarding us to go to sleep. He's protecting himself thoroughly when he's unconscious."
"That's natural in a way."
Mr. Jinya should probably have full confidence in predictive magic. It's stranger not to impose any measures at bedtime that would be his only weakness like that.
You seem to trust predictive magic so much, but don't even make that a weakness.
"... All right, all right. Move as far as you can not be suspicious."
"I know. Even I've ruled one village for 300 years without anyone noticing? It's not like that."
"I'm not proud to say it."
I laugh bitterly at Nair's words, but now I'm comfortable with that confidence.
"Then I'll go back to Amako. Oh, yeah, yeah, Usat."
"Hmm?"
I'm leaving a message from Amako.
Message? What the hell?
When I think about whether it is important or not, Nair says the message in a slight disgust.
"'Always, come and help me,' he said."
……!
I'm surprised by the words for just a moment, but I immediately smile.
"Oh, of course. Tell him I'll definitely help you."
Yeah, I'll be sure to tell him.
Pom, and transformed into an owl, Nair nodded and flew to dissolve in the darkness of the night.
After taking a deep breath and preparing myself, I turned to Mr. Alk and the others.
●
After Nair and I broke up, Mr. Hayate, who sent Hoover to his men, was taking us to try to escape from the kingdom of the Beast Man.
Even when it comes to escape, now is the time when everyone is asleep. I haven't walked outside except for the soldier on the lookout, so the journey itself isn't that difficult.
"I knew you were right to wait for Nair"
"Right. If we had made a scene there, we might have had difficulty getting out."
Worst of all, me and Burlin are all in charge of getting out of here, but that's too dangerous to be a last resort.
So I'm really glad we got out of here without anyone noticing.
"But I also wanted to bring a horse"
"Anyway, the roundabout burlin can interfere with moving around in the dark... The next time you come, take it back with Lord Amako."
The horses we've come a long way with are one of us.
That's why I didn't abandon him and wanted to take him... but now I just had to leave him.
……
"Linca, are you still mad?"
Linka, walking next to me, looked up at me with a musty look.
"Of course you do. If I heard Amako got caught for such super crap, I'd look like this."
I told Linka how Amako got caught.
Maybe we shouldn't really talk about it, but I decided this kid should explain it properly because he's Amako's friend.
Linca, who heard the story, was angry enough to turn her face bright red.
"What did Amako do... Amako was deprived of her mother for such a reason, and now she's deprived of her freedom... that's too weird."
"... right, I think so too"
I agree with Linca's words by pushing my emotions to death, too.
Rinka looked up at me with a little surprise at how I looked like that.
"Isn't Usat angry? I'm not gonna show you how angry I was earlier."
"Me? I'm... I'm not mad."
"Lies."
When he was surprised by the words returned immediately, Linka gave him a confident look somewhere.
"Usat, you're actually very angry, aren't you? Because it was so unnatural right now. My eyes weren't laughing at all, and it seemed normal and not normal at all"
"... I guess I'm easy on the face"
As a matter of fact, I keep my anger under control all the time.
But you didn't blow it up in the cage because my anger wasn't for Amako.
"To be honest, there's no way I'm not mad at you. My people are about to get a terrible look. But now I'm trying to be cool because I'm not prioritizing my anger."
This is a problem you can't solve by forgetting me and going wild.
We must save Amako, and save Mr. Canoco's life.
For that reason, now we just have to contain our anger and put up with it.
"But if it explodes, it could be a big deal. Ha ha."
"It could be a really big deal. Usato's got more legs and more power than a beast."
Linca finally gave me a smile on my joke.
"But what's really going to happen? Are you going to run around like a demon already?"
"On the boulder it's..."
No, the moment I tried to say it, I switched consciousness by putting my face up like Brulin noticed something.
"Hey you guys!"
voice from the rear at the same time.
Turning back faster than anyone else, I hold the lights more than twenty meters away, reflecting in my sight the two beasts trying to set up a weapon.
At the same time recognizing it, he kicks the ground hard and approaches the eyes and nostrils of the two beasts with a breath.
"To?"
"What?"
"I'm sorry."
Whimpering small, he slaps the healing punch into his abdomen one blow at a time.
I'm on the mend, but I bumped into him with as much force as I could reliably stun him, so he won't wake up until nightfall.
After checking the two beasts for injuries, I turn back to Mr. Alk and the others as I wipe my forehead.
"Phew, good. Stunned me before I found out... Hmm?"
……
If you look behind your back, you'll see two parents and children bluishing and flashing their faces.
Near them is Burlin, who is lacking in Mr. Alk, who is grinning bitterly.
Again, when I see a soldier who has passed out, I return with a face.
"I have nothing else to say to my life, so I'm fine."
"" That's a lie. "
You look like a parent or a child.
I couldn't help but grin at the two cleverly voiced whilst pressing and killing my voice.
