It's been a week since I became Deputy Head of the Lifeguard Corps.
For the time being, I didn't recognize them as deputy commanders. I waited for a surprise attack in a group of people, but against my expectations, they were positive that I would assume the post of deputy commander.
On the other hand, it's the ferm that's stuck.
I can't believe you're standing on top of me! You monster! '
So I repelled the beaten Fermu with a decopin, but you're still not convinced, and he's been raiding on me like every day since then.
Somehow, I started to wonder if this is what it's like to be a brother with a rebellious sister.
No, I'm an only child.
"Mr. Usato."
"Hmm? Nack. Why don't you sit down while you're standing?"
The night before we headed to Lukvis to meet the Four Kingdoms.
After dinner, sitting on the outskirts of the training ground for a change of mood, relaxing and looking at the view of the night, Nack came out of the dormitory to speak.
In the meantime, I'll let Nack sit next to me, and then I'll ask him what he wants.
"So, what's up?"
"Um, you're going to Lukvis tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah. Yeah, but..."
As a result, Nair was asked to leave a message this time.
Although he wanted to go, Rose says there are issues such as attraction, witchcraft, and other abilities that may distrust Nair.
You can't take her any more than it could make them distrust you.
... Though I didn't mean to let you use that ability.
Nair said that while I was going to Lukvis, I would have a training pickle with Ferm every day. Something like... psychiatric training or evasion training with Fermu.
Fine, sounds fun, but Nair and Ferm were asking me for help with a face like the end of the world.
"So... would you tell Kirikha and the others about it? I took great care of myself when I left Lukvis. I wish I could see you..."
"Okay. I'll tell you what."
When I get to Lukvis, I plan to meet the Kirikhas in my spare time.
At that time, I have to tell you a lot about souvenirs. Kew and Satsuki and all that sounds so intriguing.
"But the truth is, I wish you could have gone, too."
After assuming office as deputy commander, I went to the castle once to ask Mr. Wellsey if I could take Amako, and he gave me permission easily in addition to my thoughts.
After I told Amako that, I thought if I could take Fu Nak with me... but no other Nak turned it down.
"I really want to go, too, but over there...... because Lukvis has Meena"
"Oh, that girl... You still don't like her?"
She was abusing a knuckle, a chic girl with an impressive red twin tail.
But from the mouthfeel of Nack, Nack seems to think he simply doesn't want to see Meena rather than hate her.
Did something happen with her after I left Lukvis?
"It's not like I'm bad at it. Before I left Lukvis, I had a chance to talk to him, but instead of apologizing to me, he said," I'm sorry you've always been so lousy "again, didn't he? Sure, there's something wrong with me, too, but that was so mouth-watering that I even felt crisp on the contrary."
"And then what happened? Feels like we broke up with each other just like that?"
"By and large, yes, but somehow when you graduate from school, you say something about coming to see me... I'm already insulated from my parents, but I have no idea what I want."
"... I see"
Ho, this is it.
I smile and slap Nack on the shoulder, nodding.
"Let's see, Nack. Are you blunt?"
"Excuse me, are you serious about that? Would Usat say that?"
"That?"
I was instantly answered with a genuine voice.
Nack, bitterly smiling at me confused by the unexpected response, spins his words as he waves to his side.
"First of all, it's impossible. He trained in magic to get revenge on me, and when he graduates from school, he comes here, right? No matter what you think, you can't have such a maiden idea. I just can't stand the fact that you're still losing to me."
"Oh, really...?"
"That's right. He hated losing when he was little."
I see, you mean you can't stay losing.
I don't even know.
Not really, although I can't grasp the relationship between Nack and Meena, for now, I understood that Nack and Meena are like rivals.
"In the meantime, I'll tell Kirija and the others about you."
"Thank you"
"Thank you. I wanted to tell Kirija and the others about you."
Lucvis has people he wants to see, but I'm not going to play.
As one of the representatives of the kingdom of Ringle---and as deputy head of the life-saving corps, I must firmly carry out the task entrusted to me.
"Oh, yeah. While I'm at Lukvis, would you give Brulin some dinner? I'm asking Nair and Ferm to do it, but they're a little nervous."
"If that's the case, I'll take care of it."
"Later, I hope they let me exercise or something..."
No, it's harsh to ask for that.
Burlin moves when he's willing, but there's something troublesome about it, so it's a long time before he moves.
"I've been granted voluntary training, too, and I'll be working out with Burlin."
"Are you all right? He might get it on his back by mistake with me..."
When I asked him that, he laughed like he was in trouble and said to me, 'When it comes to trouble, I call on the people around me for help'.
In Lukvis, I didn't rely on him to grow, and while I was heartily happy, I got up.
"Well, I guess I'll get some rest early in case of tomorrow."
"Shall we go back to our quarters?"
Me and Nack walk up to the dormitory, paying for the leaves on our clothes.
I have to make sure I don't fall asleep because I'm leaving here early tomorrow morning.
●
Early the next morning.
I was able to wake up without sleeping, I tried to pick up Amako after finishing my departure greeting to Rose with my pre-prepared luggage -- but there was a little noise at that time.
What an owl-transformed Nair was trying to hide in my luggage and follow me.
Even I didn't realize she was lurking with luggage, but the other guy was too bad. During the greeting, Rose stuck her arm in my luggage and immediately caught Nair hiding.
When asked how she noticed, she was just briefly answered as "Kang".
The sixth sense was a moment of feeling smudged when it became something more paranormal than magic when extreme.
After a little noise, I left the lifeguard quarters and headed to the city to pick up Amako as planned.
It's been a long time since I've been able to get into a city where I can stand in the morning with emotion "I knew this was it," and I find Amako in front of the store, so I rendezvous.
"Morning, Usato"
"Good morning. Looks like you woke up without sleeping."
She looked up at me with a slightly muddled look as she greeted Amako back.
"I'm not that much of a child."
"Yes, I know."
Though small, this kid is old enough...... no, he's mentally firm enough to beat an adult face.
But still, it returns a year-to-year response, like it does now and then.
"What about Nair?"
"That kid left a message. In the meantime, you'll be training with the captain."
"Heh."
What floats in my brain is that Nair, who was confused earlier and tried to follow me, was caught by Rose and dragged to the training ground with Fermu, who somehow got caught up in it.
I'd like to shelter you, but I don't think Rose can do it with him.
Then head with Amako to the castle gate for a chat without any other love.
When we reached the castle gate in about a dozen minutes, we saw several discerning faces and knights gathered in the larger carriage.
Kazuki to seniors, plus Mr. Siggles and Mr. Welsey.
Having confirmed the appearance of the four men and the knights, I greet them with my hands raised.
Since the battle was not involved, seniors and Kazuki wore clothes that were not similar to what they usually wear when they left for the journey.
"Is the journey familiar to the two of us?"
"Right. I haven't traveled to Dada for months."
"It's what I went through once, and I'm less nervous than I was when I first started."
Seniors and Kazuki who return that to my questions.
In fact, the journey is familiar to me, so I guess I'll be much more relaxed than I was when I first started.
Move your gaze from the two of you to Mr. Wellsey.
"Mr. Wellsey. Are you leaving soon?"
"Ah, good morning, Master Usato. I'm just about ready to leave."
Sounds like you got here just in time, then.
He said he was ready, so I, seniors, Kazuki, Amako, and Mr. Welsey would be in the carriage. I hear Mr. Siggles and the knights will escort the carriage with horses.
"Hey, you kind of feel the same way when you first got on the journey"
"You were these five, including Welsey, back then."
"Oh, sure."
Nodding at seniors and Kazuki's words.
Then, you remembered that time. Seniors leaked emotional exhalation.
"Compared to then, I feel like we've grown up, too."
"Even so, it was just a while ago. Well, I'm pretty sure we've had enough intense travel to feel that way, too."
"You might be right to say that Usato is more mutated than growing."
"It sounds like I'm changing from a human to another creature."
Turn a grin drawn to Amako, who has pinched his mouth next door.
I do think I've grown, but I haven't grown enough to change my appearance...... I should.
"It feels more like a neoplasm called Usat than another creature"
"At last my name has become a race name..."
"Usato, I think that's Ali! A kind of clan superorganism! Something's going on... something's going on! It feels so one-of-a-kind!"
"I don't know what it feels like to feel that way, but when the subject is me, it's completely ruined..."
Are the seniors following me?
No, I saw a smile without malice, and I could see you were saying it in earnest.
Looking at me with my shoulders down, Mr. Welsey and Kazuki were laughing like trouble.
"Ha.... but what's different then is that the purpose of this meeting is"
"Uh, right. As soon as you feel like you can go home sooner than last time, it changes your mind a lot."
Although a long period of time was envisaged for the last journey to hand over the letter, this meeting can return to the Kingdom of Lingle in a relatively short period of time.
The talks themselves can begin as soon as representatives of the countries have gathered, so it will not take a week to arrive late.
If there was an incident or something, though I might be very late for a meeting.
"Oh, I was. I'll tell you about the meeting right now."
With that in mind, Mr. Welsey called out to us.
Although Rose has heard a lot about the talks, she doesn't really know what I need to clarify.
Is there an explanation for the area as well?
"Your role in the talks will be face-to-face with the representatives of the kingdom you each visited. Don't worry, Mr. Siggles and I will run the talks"
"Is there anything else we should do besides meet?"
"Master Kazuki and Master Suzune, as brave men of the kingdom of Ringle, and Master Usat, as deputy head of the life-saving corps, behave as they deserve in that title. Perhaps the talks will bring together the powerful of each kingdom."
"The mighty? That's..."
"I am talking about people who are on an equal footing with Mr. Siggles in our country and who also have the strength. I wonder if any of you would think of going to each country?"
Was there someone who thought of Mr. Welsey's words, a nodding Kazuki and senior?
Speaking of the country I went to, Samaritan's mighty man... Mr. Fegnis, but that guy would be a problem before he got here.
He lost the curse he had defended and, in addition, learned that he was helping the sorcerer in his evil deeds.
Though what he tried to do was never something I could forgive, unlike the sorcerer who was acting with his own personal lust, he was acting for the Kingdom of Samaritan.
If Mr. Fegnis' clan hadn't been distorted by the presence of a sorcerer, he might have been a good man thinking of a genuine country.
"Usato?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was a little bored."
Looks like he was a little stuck on his mind.
Listen to Mr. Welsey as he smiles back at Amako, who has sounded worried.
"One of the purposes of this meeting is to make friends with people who fight side by side in battle with the Demon King's Army."
"I see, because you won't be able to trust each other as soon as they tell you to fight with me in person for the first time. I do need a prior face-to-face meeting. But what kind of people are coming? I'm a little excited to hear you're a powerful man in the kingdom."
I laughed bitterly at the same seniors who made that sound like fun. [M]
"Senior, don't you suddenly sprinkle a duel or something?"
"I wouldn't do that to a boulder!? Usat, what do you think I am!?"
"No, just to be careful. I can't predict the behavior of the seniors."
"I don't want Usato to tell you that!?, Amako thinks so too!?"
"Yeah, I don't think Usat should say that"
Whoa, did Amako get to senior here?
I can't hide my agitation from an unexpected betrayal.
At least when I opened my mouth to argue, Mr. Welsey and Kazuki, who were listening to our conversation, spoke first.
"You have an image of Usato doing something extraordinary when you look away for a moment. You know, when I was trying to force you to see me to strengthen my system..."
"Surely Usat does things that you can't think of normally. That's what's so great about Usat."
Regardless of Kazuki, who smiled and praised me, I had no idea I would be pushed into this situation.
When I'm told so far and worried about how to argue, Amako shifts the gaze that was directed at me to the senior.
"But Suzune also does unexpected things in a different direction from Usat, so you end up with both."
"Amako!?"
"Uh, sure. I forgot who I was when I was Frana."
"Mr. Kazuki!?"
"Suzune is just as tearless as Usat."
"Until Welsey...... Is this how I can dis!?"
As he chased him, Amako, Kazuki and Mr. Welsey's seniors, who ate the scratches in their turn, glanced at him in shock, dropping their shoulders and depressing.
After worrying for a few seconds or so, the senior who turned his gaze to me gave me a flinching, cool grin.
"I see... Usat you and I are the same. So you and I are Avec, right?"
"Sorry. Super theoretical. Too much spinning to make sense. And you know what that means?"
"Of course."
Drop your shoulders to a senior who speaks softly of today.
I'm glad I left the kingdom of Lingle, but the time to arrive, the scratches and so on, seems a lot tired.
