I was able to escape the ruins safely and return to the settlement where Mr. Greff was.
After recovering from the stun, I broke up with my predecessors, who were hiding who I was, assimilated to Fermu and became a demonic mode, returning with Nair, Amako and Keira to the house where Mr. Greff and Ram and Rosé were.
The Greffs, who saw Keira healthy, were very pleased with her safety.
What a relief Mr. Greff made me cry so much, he was making Keira flutter and troubled, but I thought that's how much I cared about her, and I was relieved.
"You took care of me. Usato"
"You're okay with foot injuries now, right?"
"Oh, I never thought I'd be able to walk anymore."
"Ha..."
The next day, we were exchanging words of farewell to continue our respective journeys.
His leg, carrying a large bag, is lightly bandaged, but the wound is so healed that it won't be difficult to walk.
"Usato, thank you for helping Keira."
"No, she grew up on her own."
I don't think he thinks so.
Ni, laughed. When he points back, there's Keira, who looks terribly depressed.
Keira, who realizes our story is over, rushes over here on a small run.
"Greff, I need to talk to the Usatos for a second, so stay away from me."
It doesn't matter if I'm here.
……
"... uh, yes, yes, I get it. Lamb, Rosé, let's go over there for a second."
"" Yes ""
"Around the age," he said, distancing himself from us, Mr. Greff.
As I grin bitterly at the way it is, Keira approaches me silently.
"I... thanks to all of you, I was able to figure out my magic. Thank you, thank you."
Ferm, assimilated to me, speaks to Keira with a slightly lighter voice with a lowered head.
"You're still a dark wizard, because you just woke up. Sometimes things are going to change as you grow, so don't let that change fool you? '
"Ha!"
Keira responds energetically to Ferm's advice.
I'm a teacher.
It's a good way to teach, and maybe it's good for you, though I'm bluffing.
"The purpose of the journey you are all sending is to understand. Still, I... I wanted to believe you guys."
……
"The truth is, I still feel like following Mr. Usato on his journey. But Greff, Ram and Rose are my precious family… now, I give up"
"That's better. We can't get you into this for our own convenience."
"... Yes"
Now that the Demon King has distracted us, we don't know what's going to happen.
You can't take Keira in there like that.
"Nair, I hope it's not your fault that she said 'now'?"
"Yeah, you said that."
Amako and Nair next door are talking about something small.
I'm curious, so I'm going to ask you what you're talking about, but Keira's going to talk to me first.
"Where is Mr. Usato's country?"
That's abrupt.
Well, now I have nothing to hide, so I'll be honest with you.
"The kingdom of Ringle is a place. I'm the deputy head of the organization there."
"Lifeguards?"
"Running around to help hurt people...... I guess a group. Well, it's the kind of place you always train."
"Really?"
Briefly describe the life-saving corps.
After a few seconds of silence, Keira, with her face up, turns her gaze to Amako and Nair.
"Amako, Nair and... Ferm, too, there?"
"No, Amako's not. It's in..."
No, I'm not in there.
"Yeah, I'm not in either."
"Yeah, I'm not in there."
What happened to you all of a sudden?
When I turn my confused eyes, Amako and Nair look at me in a hurry for some reason to tell me something.
What, you don't want us to treat ourselves as a team?
No way... you think Keira's coming to the kingdom of Ringle? That's just dangerous on the road, and more importantly, you can't come alone.
Keira giggled small as she was confused by the uncertainty.
"You're lying."
"Oh, yeah. Nair and Ferm are part of the life-saving corps."
"Hey......"
"Yes, thank you for letting me know"
I think it's polite of Keira to say thank you for the dust.
I thought about it when I was a knucklehead, but when I was the same age, I wasn't this decent.
"Well, I'll get Greff and the others."
A cloak made of black magic pops out of the shadow at Keira's feet that said so and is worn on her shoulder.
Fluffy and raised as it was, she went smoothly through the sky as it was.
"It's amazing magic to be able to fly..."
"You were flying, too."
"No, I'm not. This guy's not flying, he's just blowing up."
Well, it's like I was floating in a magic outburst.
Even when fighting Mr. Hannah and her men, it felt more like they were traveling swinging than flying.
Nair shrugs in a slightly sinking voice when she sees Keira, who is no longer visible.
"... one more person will knock on the gates of hell"
"Are Dark Wizards all this trouble?"
"That's convincing when Fermu says..."
'... Shut up'
You seem to be getting along before I know it.
"By the way, the gates of hell mean the lifeguards?"
……
Shock from the inside of the clothes and a tibial attack by two legs.
It doesn't hurt or itch, but it's a good collaboration.
But why did you get kicked?
●
Mr. Greff and I were to break up in the settlement where we are now.
Keira brightened me up more than a few days before I first met her, and again I'm glad she was able to face herself and the dark magic.
"I want to help you on your crusade to the Demon King."
That's what Mr. Nagi said to us last night when we left the ruins.
who ran the battlefield with the brave predecessors.
I can see that strength is not half-baked.
No one could possibly speak out against her offer of cooperation like that, and she was to accompany us on our journey to the Crusade of the Demon King.
"What, the previous brave man had a wife and child!?"
"I heard you were there before you were summoned. He was like a father to me..."
We left out of time with Mr. Greff and the others.
As the Demon King walks on to Negi, which would await him, he hears a conversation between Fu and Nagi.
"Then it would mean that the previous brave men were summoned to another world leaving their wives and children behind..."
……
"Hmm?"
"... yeah, you are. I think that's what's gonna happen."
A senior who turns a surprise to Mr. Nagi, who reacts slightly late.
You guessed it was something you shouldn't really touch, and she immediately talks to Mr. Nagi to try to change the subject.
"With your addition... is it OK to say that warriorly, now we have five people who can use the warfare of the brave?"
"Will it...? But the knife I have already used the capacity to seal it, so it's just a sharp knife."
"Your combat skills alone are powerful enough."
Indeed.
I don't know because I haven't asked if I can use magic or anything yet, but it's a lot of fighting power at a time when predictive magic and sword moves are available.
But still, Mr. Nagi only laughs bitterly.
"The Demon King already has your presence, so you can't make too big a move."
"I can't help but notice. I don't believe the words over there, but they'll be waiting for us, and I'll take them and I'll stand up for you."
"Suzune is positive."
Nagi laughed at me for saying that, and he spoke to me.
"Usato, are you all right?"
"Yeah, I got some sleep, so I'm fine. Is there anything unusual about Mr. Nagi? Nair said you were pretty unscrupulous about fusing your soul?
"... to be honest, I wonder if there's still any confusion in my head"
Mr. Nagi stares at his own hand.
It would be like bringing the two consciousnesses together, and I guess it's complicated things that I can't even imagine.
"To my mind, your condition now is a blend of good cannabis and evil cannabis, right?"
Isn't that too easy to summarize?
For a senior example, I get a subtle look.
No, it's easy to understand as an expression.
"Um, I can't say good or evil, but you're not wrong as an expression. Two souls in one, thereby making me, what I am now. It's a little confusing, to put it into words."
That's what Mr. Nagi laughs like in trouble.
A senior who sees her like that gets a hazy look.
"Kannagi. Can I call you Nagi, like you, Usato?"
"Oh, don't worry about that -... no, you can't"
"Huh?"
The way Nagi tries to reply pleasantly changes in an instant.
She immediately returned to me and, sorry to say, joined hands with the senior.
"Sorry. Apparently not the other one, privately, except for Usat"
"... Usato-kun"
Don't stare at me.
"Guru! Wong!"
"Don't bark..."
Conto. You like that, huh?
But how come it's just me?
When I doubt that, Mr. Nagi, who was comforting a depressed senior, laughs bitterly.
"That's what you've been calling me, because there's only one person I've ever known. I think that makes sense, too. I don't know what it's like to think that way."
The look on Mr. Nagi's face that I put to you looked somewhere sad.
But on the other hand, the senior next door remembers something, niggling and approaching Mr. Nagi.
"What? Suzune."
"Speaking of which, Kannagi. I'll have that parallel world grudge redeemed with its tail and ear... duh duh!"
"Come on, I can't think of a way to treat you... but what are you going to do?"
"Of course, that's something you can't say!"
"Wow! Stop!?"
Avoid seniors with Mr. Nagi flying around.
What the hell did the seniors do? I'm all over my personal greed, as usual, but I just seem a little angry.
"Well, that doesn't help seniors get angry."
"You know Kazuki?"
I'll see how Mr. Nagi interacts with his predecessors and talk to Kazuki, who squealed like that.
"... actually. Seniors and I went to Kannagi..."
Kazuki then explains the trials given by the previous Kannagi fusing with Mr. Nagi.
What a story that was about me in a parallel world.
A future where seniors and Kazuki were killed by the Black Knight and moved on as they were.
I used every means I could to become someone with an enemy in my hands. [M]
It seems that Kazuki and his predecessors fought hard against me like that.
"What if I was in the world?"
"It was a tough fight. We fought a hell of a lot over there."
"What, exactly?"
"He was stuck with his arm."
"Don't pull it."
What? I wouldn't do that.
What, more of an arm thing was going on?
"I really didn't think we should talk about this. But I knew... I thought I had to tell you."
"Oh well..."
Death of a familiar person.
That changed me.
Honestly, I can understand how that happens to me when I hear about Kazuki.
"Have I changed?"
"... oh, because I beat him up and made him so angry. It's all right now."
"Then don't worry."
For me over there, Kazuki's fist would have hurt more than any injury.
… From now on, we will head to the central part of the Demon King's territory, where the Demon King awaits.
Honestly, there is also the presence of the Demon King and the anxiety that we have witnessed in his mightiness.
"Humans and Demons..."
Mr. Greff and the others were just good people living normal lives.
The other demons and the demons who are fighting are fighting for themselves to live.
I am ready to fight the Demon King.
But I must act with understanding the story of the possibility that lies ahead of our mission.
