Returning to the kingdom of Lingle, I visited the captain's office with Nair, who was reunited on the road, on his shoulder.

When I said no and then went into the captain's office, Rose's appearance as he glanced through the paperwork on his desk entered his sight.

While I looked through the paperwork, I was surprised by her writing something on the form at hand. Because I knew I was working as a life-saving corps leader, but I never actually saw where I was working.

After being slightly distracted, he immediately returned to me and told me that I had returned from the meeting.

"Captain, I'm back from the talks."

"Oops. Legend has it, I've heard what you said in the talks. He was first appointed deputy commander, but it looks like he did well somehow."

"A lot of people have helped me, though. Ha..."

I don't even know for myself if I was able to complete my duties as deputy commander.

I just wanted to say that I did it myself, but it's also true that there are more points to reflect on in this meeting.

Rose, who stopped by my words and looked at this one, leaked a smile and put the pen at her desk.

"So, it's about the Demon King's Army."

"How will the Lifeguards move until the Demon Kings arrive?"

It was a sudden march last time, so after summoning all the lifeguards, including Mr. Uluru and Mr. Olga, we headed right to the battlefield, but compared to that time, there must be a lot we can do by the time we leave.

"Basically, unlike the castle knights, they don't move significantly until the Demon King's Army is in full swing. If it moves, it's time to rendezvous with the armies of other countries."

"And?"

"Prepare for the march to come."

Do you feel the lifeguards themselves don't need to move that far?

Instead, it's not until the battle begins that the lifeguards need to move in full.

One person was convinced that Rose slipped the paperwork on the table in front of me.

"What's this?"

"It's a plan I came up with before you came back. Look at that."

Take the paperwork and move your eyes to the letter.

I look into the first sentence, and I leak a distracted voice. [M]

"Send a healing wizard from another country...? Captain, this is..."

"Literally, that means more healing wizards coming from the outside."

"The healing wizard outside...? Do you train them? Like me."

"Are you nuts? No matter how many healing wizards you use, they shouldn't be like you. I'm not gonna let you train, I'm just talking about healing injuries."

I don't know, it's totally inconsequential.

It's as if I wasn't decent from the beginning. I was told in a targeted way.

You're the one who created that hell...?

He kicked me, he cursed me, didn't he?

No, I'm the one who didn't want to lose and didn't resolutely run away ready to reward Rose with one arrow...

Nair, who has always been quiet, looks at me sideways and groans, "I knew your spirit sucks..."

"... but are you okay?"

I'm glad to have more manpower.

Although I'm happy...... considering the perception of a healing wizard outside of the kingdom of Ringle, I get a little worried.

You perceived my anxiety, Rose puts his chin on his combined hand and looks at this one.

"Don't expect too much. Not all healing wizards are as strong as me or you."

"... Yes"

"Peaceful times when the battle is gone dramatically change people's perceptions. So is the healing wizard that was needed in the battle."

"Mr. Welsey told me. The healing wizard used to be a treasure."

Although ironic, healing magic was working because it was a world of battle.

But after hundreds of years of peace after the battle with the Demon King's Army, the need for a healing wizard was also eliminated, and at last became identified with the healing magic that could be handled by 10,000 people.

"Oh. The general perception of healing magic nowadays is magic that heals just a little faster than healing magic. Pulled by that perception, the user himself does not face his own magic, he rots"

"Rot?"

"If it's unusable magic, if it's halfway healing magic, it stops trying so thoughtfully. I mean, I'm finally going to crush even my own potential.... like a once knack"

Nack, who was born with healing magic but was therefore cold treated and having a hard time by his parents. As a result, I stopped moving forward like Meena said.

Given his past, I know exactly what Rose is talking about.

"It would have been somewhat better if we could have handled system strengthening, but in this day and age it is difficult to meet system strengthening and the healing wizard who has reached that level of sophistication...... to my knowledge, it's just me and you"

Although I think it would be great to be user-friendly to ask that healing magic phylogenetic strengthening can even cure diseases, it is extremely difficult to get phylogenetic strengthening in the first place itself.

Forcing an injury like me to see system strengthening is not the kind of thing a normal person would do.

Mr. Wellsey told me it was scattered and strange...

"Where's Olga?"

"You know, he's just born with a lineage enhancement line of magic. I'm not specially trained to strengthen my system."

I see.

Well, then, there really aren't many healing wizards in this day and age who can handle lineage enhancement.

"A time when healing wizards are no longer needed."

That would certainly be a joy, but it seems like a hard time for a healing wizard.

"Will the captain receive this increase?"

"I don't care how many people I have just this time. A healing wizard who would be dispatched would not be as much a user as Uluru or Olga, who routinely deals with healing magic, but he is nevertheless a healing wizard. It's definitely better than not being there."

"That's true."

There are only five healing wizards in the lifeguard, Mr. Olga and Mr. Uluru, even if they pair their knacks.

But I will never take Nack to the battlefield, so essentially only Mr. Olga and Mr. Uluru will be able to treat him with healing magic at the base.

Given that, strength is very gratifying to have an increase in healing magic even in unknown numbers.

"There's a chance I won't be able to move. You should be as prepared as you can be."

……

I dared not respond to her whining.

This guy doesn't say anything weak. For example, it would mean that it might be possible for Rose, who is as strong as a ghost, to be unable to move according to that word.

... I don't want to imagine the situation, but at that time, I, the other white clothes, have to take the initiative.

"Do you have an opinion? As deputy commander."

"... well, there is no objection to the decision itself. But there are two things you need to do before the Demon King's Army arrives."

"What?"

"The first step is to send a sentence to Lady Norn, Queen of Miarak, about the weapons of the brave."

We need the weapons of the brave in the battle of the Demon King's army.

If you don't seem to make it, you have to figure out a way to fight assuming that, so either way, communication is mandatory.

However, since the person to be sent is the other person, it must be sent through the castle as an official sentence approved by Lord Lloyd.

And I'd like to ask you a few questions about my cageman, so I'd like to visit you.

"The other thing is, if you have time, I would like to ask the captain for immediate guidance."

"Wow. It's gonna hurt again?"

"It's where I want it"

"Huh, that's good"

"Ho, ho..."

II, and leaks Nair's frightened voice to Rose, who distorts the edge of his mouth.

No shortcuts to growth.

If, for example, there are definite achievements ahead of you in trying to get bogged down, you have to train them.

When I'm ready inside, I realize that Rose, with her arms together and eyes closed, is thinking of something.

"Captain?"

"... fits around, huh?"

She squeaks like that after a dozen seconds of silence or so, look here.

I couldn't ask what I was thinking from that look, but I figured it was something important.

"After dinner, come to the captain's office. I need to talk to you."

"Huh? Can't you do it now?"

"Hate, I have to clean up. I have work to do. This way first."

"... ok"

Night.

I don't know if it's about Nero Argens, the demon tribe that caused Rose a hand wound, or something else.

But I had a feeling it was going to be important to me.

After hearing all the reports and instructions, Nair and I left the captain's office, we were taking a trip to the lifeguard quarters with Burlin.

The purpose is to see how Burlin is doing.

I don't know, I haven't been away from Burlin for a long time, so I was worried he wasn't messing with anything.

I can assure you that you will not attack people, but there is also the possibility that you could mistake me for a sleeping clap and rub it on Nack's back.

According to Nair, he hasn't caused any noise like this...

"Brulene, were you a grown-up?"

"Gua?"

"Kew."

"Ah, Mr. Usato"

A visit to the stables with Burlin with Nair on his shoulder with that in mind, there was a knack besides Burlin and a kukukuru of noir rabbits, a black rabbit sitting a bit on a bunch of straw.

Seeing what Kukuru looked like, Nair, who was overtly alert, was relieved that he seemed to be doing well with Brulin because of this look.

"Welcome back, Mr. Usato!"

"Yeah, I'm home. Brulin seems to be okay."

"Yes, I'm basically a big girl, so I was perfectly fine!"

"Guar."

Naturally, I stroke a burlin that just rang out loud.

The nair above my shoulder jumped up untouched when I thought it was the same as ever to the wretched furrows.

When I was wondering what was going on, Kukuru jumped on my shoulder instead of Nair, who jumped up.

Apparently Kukuru jumped up on Nair's shoulder and Nair avoided it.

"Ha, not me before! I can't believe I stopped attacking a rabbit like you! Baka! Aho!"

Nair mouths low degree ramblings as he flies through the sky.

As I pull a little, I turn my gaze to her.

"Nair, don't you get sad for your rabbit opponent?"

"If I knew what this guy was all about, I wouldn't be like that at all!"

Well, he's a rabbit like a demon who brings people along fine.

Kukuru on the other hand doesn't even care as much about Nair's incitement and other hairs, rubbing his head on my cheek.

Cute.

"Kimmy, that's mine!"

"Kiyu!"

Nair is incredibly intolerant of incitement and storms Kukuru.

Kukuru, who had sensed it, jumped right off his shoulder, kicking Nair's back in the owl state and heading towards the entrance to the stables.

Nair got kicked in the back and crashed with a pitiful scream? I will, but before I do, I'll take it with both hands.

"Are you okay, Nair?"

"Ugh, guh, that rabbit...! There it is! I won't forgive you anymore!"

Nair, who returned to the appearance of the brunette red-eyed girl with a flash of light, left the stables following the kukukuru she had fled to.

... Sounds more fun than anything.

Kukuru seems somewhat happy to have someone to play with... Is that it?

When I saw the exit of the stables, I smiled vaguely, and I lay down on a mountain full of straw bundles.

"I've been meeting with the Kirikhas in Lukvis. And to Meena."

"! Really? It was the same, right?"

"I don't know... I thought you and that kid were in a lot of trouble. Your relationship wasn't on the right level."

If we met each other at school, it was still easy to understand some of the relationship, but I thought it was somewhat familiar with childhood.

I won't put it in my mouth until then.

"After all, do you think so?"

"Oh."

"... well, there was something wrong with me and him, too. I can't easily forgive him for what he did... but I can't afford to think about it right now, so it feels like I'm putting it on hold."

Pending, huh.

Well, it doesn't have to be almost an outsider for me to say it, and if you can, you should keep an eye on it.

... You're a little old now.

What's wrong with me these days? Are you getting a little old mentally for having a disciple named Knuck?

"Anyway, how were the Kirikhas?"

Nack has changed the subject when he's shocked that his spirit is getting old.

I quickly change my mind and laugh at him.

"Of course. Kirija, Kew and Satsuki all cared about you."

"Everyone..."

"Why don't you send him a letter? I think Amako can deliver Hoover to the Kirikhas in Lukvis."

"Be sure!"

Even for Nak, Kirija and the others must be irreplaceable friends.

I smiled at him and I stood up and gently prepared myself for gymnastics.

"Well, it was a carriage trip until today, so I guess I'll move my body a little. How about a knock?"

"I'd like to run with you, Mr. Usato, if you like"

I really want to move my body today because of what Lord Lloyd and Rose told me about the Demon King Army.

The truth is, Rose tells me to rest... well, I wouldn't be mad at you if I wasn't pushing you too hard, would I?

Then let's wake up Brulin, who is devouring his sleep.

Walk out of the dorm with Knack, mopping Brulin's back up asleep but still gently.

Then, outside, Nair was still falling to the ground with her breath constantly.

"This! Get out of the way...!"

"Ki no, Ki woo!"

"Come on, you fool me so many times...!"

Nair tries to pay off the kukukuru he's stirring up by jumping a little over his head, but he flinches and gets away with it again.

I turned away when I saw that. [M]

"... Nair doesn't have to ask me out."

"Right, right"

Having already passed the exhausting Nair, we run out in slower footsteps than usual.

Because I run more sparingly than usual, I think about a lot of things.

Tonight, the content of the story that will be revealed from Rose's mouth, when the Demon King's Army will come, and what policy should I use to move forward?

I keep thinking mainly in bad directions, but if I can say one thing for sure -

"Less time is left."

The battle cannot be avoided.

That's why we have to do everything we can in that limited time.
