163 Lesson 148

It's been a day since I joined Senior Kamikami and went home with him.

After all, the journey to which seniors joined was busier than usual. To a strangely wonky senior, the entangled Nair and Amako had a tired look, while Burlin was a senior demon's hand (?) is bouncing off and showing the same iron plate force.

And after a long journey, we finally made our return to the kingdom of Ringle, where it began for us.

"You're back."

"Right."

In front of the gates of the kingdom of Ringle, he groans so with emotion.

As Mr. Ark calls the gatekeeper to open the castle, the view of nostalgia pops into his eyes.

... There's actually a place I'd like to head first, but that's later.

"Shall we head to the castle first? I have a lot to report."

"... Usat, you haven't told me anything yet, have you?"

……

"Usato you!?"

"Oh, no, Ko, because when I hear about this, my senior will definitely pass out..."

As a matter of fact, it only tells us that what happened in the kingdom of the beast man was able to awaken Mr. Canoco safely.

I also learned from the boulder what kind of reaction would return if I told the truth.

"No, no, I'm used to it by the time of the Evil Dragon! … no way more…"

"I can't compare... Well, I'll talk to you when I report to Lord Lloyd."

Transfer your gaze to the view of the kingdom of Ringle that you haven't seen in a long time with a gentle answer to a senior who stood up for you.

"Heh, this is the kingdom of Ringle. It's not a beautiful place."

That's how Nair shrugged as he looked around the streets slightly in the way people

Speaking of which, you don't know this kid because he's one of us on the journey.

"This will be where you live for a while."

"Well, you don't seem uncomfortable living there.... but I can feel your gaze."

One of the brave men in this country, his predecessor, has returned, so it will naturally come to our attention.

I don't know what to say to myself, but I'm part of the life-saving corps myself.

As we walked down the street to the castle, Amako, walking next door, suddenly stopped, waving back to the people of the city who would be happy to return us.

Following her gaze, Mr. Salla, the woman who lived with Amako in the kingdom of Ringle, had a surprising look on her face.

"... Usato"

"Go. We'll be fine later."

"Yeah!"

Amako nods happily and runs to Mr. Salla.

When I dropped her off, I looked forward again, reassured that I had successfully completed my journey.

●

Before entering the castle, we entrusted Burlin to the guards, who took us to the hall where Lord Lloyd was waiting.

In the hall, Master Lloyd, who is sitting on the throne, and Sergio, who is standing beside him.

I also found Mr. Welsey and Mr. Siggles.

In time, I was away for a short time, but it felt like I hadn't seen him in a long time.

"Suzune, Usat. Well done. You made it back safely. The knights who served as escorts also struggled."

"" Ha. "

Keep your head down as you kneel.

If you look at Nair on the side, he's keeping his head down for the most part.

This guy worked disrespect and it wasn't weird to make a scene, so I was really relieved to be a kid who could read the air at times like this.

"Keep your head up. … The Lord's activity is heard by reports in Hoover and by parent books from other countries. Really... you did a really good job"

I raise my face according to the words of Lord Lloyd, who said so in a gentle voice.

"... you must be tired of the long journey, right? I don't mind the report later, but Kazuki and Celia are looking forward to seeing each other again."

"Kazuki, are you home already?"

"Oh, about five days ago. I've been worried about your lords for a long time."

Good... Kazuki was back safely too.

In all seriousness, I would like to follow Lord Lloyd's words and go get some rest, but I have something to report to you immediately.

"Dear Lord Lloyd, we have a serious report."

"What? Usato"

I slowly spin words to the surprised Lloyds once I've sorted out what I'm going to talk about.

"The story from now on is also a serious confidentiality of the water city of Miarak"

"Is Miarak confidential? I'm sorry, but the knights need to take this place off for a little while."

Knights, including Nair and Mr. Alk, exit the room.

All that remained were a few ministers, as well as Mr. Welsey, Mr. Signis, and senior dogs.

A senior lurks his voice and talks in the quiet hall.

"Usato, do you mean the brave man's weapon?"

"I'll apologize while I'm at it"

"Hmm?"

"There's something I haven't told you yet."

That's what I say. I turn to Master Lloyd.

Lloyd urged me to talk to him when he made sure he was completely paid.

"Then please, Usato"

"Yes, Lord Lloyd, do you know what happened in Miarak?"

"Of course. You were talking about Miarak's knight turning into a dragon man and storming him?"

"Yes, in the midst of that incident, I met a certain being."

So I cut the words once and take a small, deep breath.

I'm nervous to talk about him, even though I can't help explaining the brave man's weapon.

"Dear Divine Dragon Falga, It is a dragon who is responsible for" peace "and" harmony ", said to have made the weapons of the previous brave men."

"Hmm?"

What is this, a voice that almost erupted on the verge of spitting solidly?

No, now let's not look next door in the honor of our seniors.

As he was unconscious from next door, Mr. Welsey shook his voice and spoke to him.

"And the Divine Dragon!? Did the Divine Dragon exist?!?"

"Yes, you are quite old, but you do exist. … there is also evidence"

With that said, I wrap my right sleeve around and unfold a caged hand made from the sword of an earlier brave man.

"This is a caged hand, based on the sword of an earlier brave man, obtained on the journey, and replaced by Master Farga.

"... Usato. May I see it for a moment?"

Show Mr. Welsey the cage hands.

For about a few dozen seconds, she watched the cage hand carefully, her stunning, less round eyes.

"... can I say this is a magic prop? At least it's not something humans can create. It's as if the metal itself is integrated with the arm… it won't even be possible to mimic it with existing technology"

People in the hall squeak at Mr. Welsey's reaction.

In the meantime, Master Lloyd, who was silently watching the situation, opened his mouth.

"Usat. Let us believe in the word of the Lord"

"Thank you.... Falga says he will make two brave weapons for the brave men of our time, seniors and Kazuki, to fight the demon king who should come."

"... Oh my God. It is, but…"

"So much so that the Demon King is mighty, Master Farga seems to think"

Master Lloyd puts his hand on his chin and gets lost in thought.

"... I didn't know there was such a thing as survival in the story... you still had some surprises this year. Usato, thank you. It would have been tough."

"I just did what I wanted to do in a way..."

Sure, it was tough, but almost everything was either sticking my neck in from me or sticking my neck in after I got caught up in it.

So there's nothing I've regretted on my previous journey.

In my words, Lord Lloyd held his forehead by his hand.

"... A report received by Hoover the other day heard that he had also fought two Legion Chiefs of the Demon King's Army in the Land of the Beasts. The sentence sent by Lucas of Samarial stated that the Lord had lifted the terrible curse that eroded the royal family and saved his daughter..."

"Usa and Kun, Doyuko and?"

Lloyd, who gives his expression in remorse, and a senior who sees this one like a machine run out of oil.

Listen to what Lord Lloyd has to say while keeping an eye out for seniors.

"Both Suzune and Kazuki have fought mighty monsters and sent dangerous journeys. I cannot thank the Lord for fulfilling his mission and returning to the kingdom..."

"It was certainly also a dangerous journey. Still, I don't think it was a meaningless journey."

I say that to Lord Lloyd, who regrets sending us on a dangerous journey.

"It was a very difficult experience for me to meet so many people and spread the word about what I saw and heard in this world. … How was your senior?"

All of a sudden he talks to me and I'm a little surprised senior, but I immediately smile and look at Master Lloyd.

"I feel the same way about you, Usato. And I'm pretty sure this journey meant a lot to me."

"Suzune, Usat......"

Lord Lloyd meditates on our words for a few seconds.

I can't read what Master Lloyd is thinking from that look, but he doesn't seem to regret what he did, as he did earlier.

"I'm a busy one, too. The lords grew bigger than I thought. Once again, as king of the kingdom of Ringle, let us send a word of gratitude."

"" Yes ""

Lord Lloyd smiled gently at me and my senior as I bowed my head on my knees.

But you saw us and you remembered something, and you just started roaring a little bit.

"How did it go?"

"Ugh, um. Look at your lords, I need to ask you a few questions... do you mind?"

"Yes, what is it?"

I don't know, from a stick to a stick.

"Rumors that your lords are in love are flying all over the country, but what about their authenticity?"

To an unexpected topic, Gikri, a senior whose shoulders tremble loudly and become suspicious of behavior.

On her behalf, I will explain to Lord Lloyd what happened. [M]

"Oh, yeah, that's what happened? We were close to setting a place for celebration at the kingdom..."

"That was dangerous... seniors"

"So, Soudane..."

For some reason, my senior turned away from me.

When I saw us, Master Lloyd gave me a soothing look.

"But in a way, I'm relieved."

"Why not?"

"Nah, in the sentence sent by Lucas, king of the Kingdom of Samaria, his daughter's letter was also enclosed. There was some mistake, I was in the same envelope, so I read a little... oh, my God, you can't keep it in the corner either."

Sergio gives me a carefully folded letter. [M]

I said no, and I looked through, and I got a sentence in my eye that said thank you from Eva, the daughter of Master Lucas.

If given normally, this is not the kind of text that would enlighten the erotic shanty.

But if you change the situation, the way you look at it will change.

"Ha, you tried, Master Lucas...!"

"Huh, Usato? The king's daughter is a princess, isn't she? I don't know if I care as a senior."

I definitely enclosed this on purpose, didn't I?!? That's a far-fetched parent idiot assist!?

The content itself is a normal text, but the purpose is to keep Lloyd's eye on it!?

Shit, the outer moat is buried steadily!?

Lucas-sama's smile laughed a little evil in the back of my brain when I was left to shake my shoulders with a smile on my shoulders.

●

In the meantime, the full report to Lord Lloyd came later, so we left the hall behind.

We broke up with Mr. Alk. We were walking down the castle aisle with our seniors and Nair.

"Is it the curse of Samaritan? I didn't think you were involved in a case involving magic."

"It was a hell of a case. Souls tied to the world by witchcraft have attacked me with entities, and I honestly didn't feel alive..."

"How does a soul strike you?"

"It feels like the translucent skeleton is biting as it rattles its cocky bones"

Wow, said senior with a blue face.

I don't like ghosts, I'm just a little traumatized about that time.

When I was forced to let the ghost memory flow through my head, it was a terrible pain.

"It's okay to talk to the public about swallowing, but where are we headed now?"

Nair blurred as he transformed into an owl and jumped on his shoulder.

I've reported this to the castle folks beforehand about Nair, but I hope he doesn't transform where there are people's eyes.

"You're going to see me and my senior friends."

"Could that be about another brave man?"

"Right."

According to Lord Lloyd, Kazuki is waiting for us in a separate room with Master Celia, so he's on his way there now.

When I hear you're a brave man and you're walking down the aisle laughing bitterly at Nair for getting in a better mood, a shadow popped out of the bend, so I stop my leg.

"I finally found it!"

"Kazuki!?"

Kazuki looked relieved as he approached us with his early feet as he breathed.

"Weren't you supposed to wait in your room first?"

"When I heard you two were back, I couldn't be there or not... and I popped out of my room. Ha..."

In the same refreshing smile of kazuki, I remember nostalgia.

... Somehow, it's really a different reunion than when I was a senior. Neither of us are happy to change, though.

"But I'm so glad we're both safe...! Me, I've been worried..."

"Oh, uh, don't cry, Mr. Kazuki..."

Me and the seniors panicking to a tearful kazuki.

Nair whispers to me in a slight pull when she sees such a kazuki.

"Unlike Suzune, you're not terribly evil, this guy. I'm scared in a different way..."

"Kazuki is a pure young man..."

He has a pure heart, unlike me and Senior Dog.

Kazuki, who was impressed with how worried he was, continues his words as he wipes his eyes.

"Excuse me...! But when I found out Senior and Usat had fought a dangerous existence... I didn't really feel alive..."

"Did Lord Lloyd tell you?"

"No, I asked a fortune teller I met in an elf settlement"

"Oh, yeah... uh, elves... hmm"

Seniors who get upset as much as they want.

It's a classic for elves and fantasy, so I guess it bothers me sooo much.

I've managed to keep myself in control now, but I don't know when it's going to collapse, so I'll ask the question instead.

"What do fortune-tellers say about us?"

"Two of the three calamities that occur on this continent were prevented by the brave men who dwell in them thunder and by the white healers…"

"White healer... could it be about me?"

"Yeah. I soon found out it was referring to Usat"

White healer...... normally, no, that's so cool.

I wonder how it got out of the elf fortune teller's mouth about me in the first place.

"" The Evil Divine Dragon, "" The Thunderbeast Who Eats Man, "and" The Monster Who Eats the Forest ". The bulimic monster managed to take him down, but he was a pretty strong enemy. I can't imagine what would have happened by now without the help of their… elf people. That's why I've always been worried about the two of you who fought against beings with the same power as my relative monsters..."

In the fortune of the elves, were evil dragons also arranged in the same row?

Well, if I let that go, it would have even been annoying to scatter destruction and poison. It's not strange to be treated that way.

"But it's good to see the three of us again like this"

Kazuki, who makes me happy to say it, makes me and my senior laugh.

Second, Kazuki leaned her neck with her gaze toward Nair on my shoulder.

"Usato. I was wondering, what owl is on that shoulder?"

Whoa, yeah.

I'll have to introduce Nair to Kazuki.

"A fellow who joined me on my journey, Nair the Demon of Usage"

"Greetings. Another brave man."

"The owl talked!? Could it be a demon who can talk! Wow!"

"Heh, you would. I bet you are."

Nair straining her chest to Kazuki, who is normally surprised and admired.

I guess I'm honestly happy to be praised.

"Oh, I have to introduce my new buddy too..."

"Or maybe you, Kazuki, use the demon too!?"

"No, you're not a demon."

Ho, reassuring seniors.

I'd like you to hide it for a little while, but it doesn't look like it's the same for seniors.

"I'm an elf hunter. He was the only daughter of the chief, but he became one of us after a long bend."

"Are you there!? If you have an elf daughter in this country!? Introduce --"

"Yes, sir, please calm down."

Stop the senior who tried to question Kazuki with his blood-running eyes by strangling him with wings.

Kazuki smiled nostalgically at me as I grew up like a cat I had borrowed after about a few seconds and tired and weak.

"I knew it was this exchange. Seniors and Usato... yeah"

"Well, where the hell have you been?"

A familiar voice from afar......

Could it be Master Celia? Are you looking for Kazuki?

"Oh, I shouldn't. Celia's looking for me.... Whatever the seniors, what about Usat? Do you want to stay with me?"

"Hmm, what shall I do"

After a few thoughts, I'll tell him about my upcoming plans.

"Me and Nair are going back to the lifeguard."

"Oh well. Well, I'm back in this country, and I can see you anytime. I'll introduce you to my new buddy later."

"Well, then, seniors, we're dissolved here."

"Oh... see you later"

Leave the scene with Nair.

You haven't been able to talk to all three of us in a long time.

But for me, it hasn't really come back yet.

"After all, the house for me is a lifeguard."

I can understand no matter who tells me.

That he's waiting for me back at that place.

"Hey, hey, Usato"

"What is it, Nair?"

"I live in a castle, so why don't we break up here?"

I laugh bitterly at Nair's suggestion.

"Naa...... I'm fine. Nobody discriminates against you because you're a monster."

"No, I'm not."

"Because most of them are like demons even though they're human."

"Including you?"

……

"Don't worry. No matter what anyone says, I'm going home with you to the lifeguard."

"Hey, will you listen to me? I live in a castle, so I don't have to take you to a lifeguard."

"Together in any painful time!"

"You don't like it!?"

"Right! Will you come with me! I'm happy for you, too!"

"Oh yeah!? Maybe I'm ignoring you after asking!?, Gyufu!? Don't grab every wing!? Let me get away ah!?"

You are my demon.

Then it is in your job to share your destiny with your husband.

With Nair desperately trying to escape from my hand, I proceeded to the lifeguard quarters.
