229 Lesson 208

The day after I woke up from fainting.

Early in the morning, after sending Amako home, he was on his way to the castle with Nair.

I'm letting the seniors and Kazuki know I'm heading to the castle beforehand, so I don't think it means I can't get in, but the situation is so I'm going to leave before I bother you if it seems to get in the way.

"I wonder if Mr. Alk is here..."

"I don't know. Maybe he's still on the battlefield."

When you reach the castle gate, you will find the knights of the guard and the red-haired man you found in it.

He smiled and waved as he noticed us approaching the castle gate.

"Lord Usato!"

"Mr. Alc!"

Run over for a small run and see if Mr. Alk is cheap or not nearby.

He had bandages on his head and arms, but other than that, he doesn't look injured.

Maybe he pushed some injuries back here.

He responds with a bitter smile when I offer him a hand that wraps healing magic around him.

"Thank you"

"No, I'm glad Mr. Alc's okay."

"Lord Usato also seems magnificent and above all. I heard you woke up yesterday?"

Did you and Kazuki tell you that?

As he nodded at Mr. Alk's words, he shrugged his shoulders as Nair in the owl's condition shrugged.

"Yesterday, finally. In the meantime, you've been sleeping with a swallowing face? At all, how worried I was when I suddenly collapsed on the battlefield..."

"Ha, because I did all that work. I can't help but get tired."

"It's a question of how to fall. Because it's really bad for the heart to fall with white eyes without touching it..."

"Oh, did I fall like that?"

I remember falling, but did you have such a spectacular stun?

Somehow, it was like darkening in front of me without touching it, so you never thought about how it looked from around you.

"Those who were around, that's already a big rush. Once all the knights on the spot had taken Usat to the stronghold where Uluru and the others were, he looked like he had cut it off and was just asleep."

"I was on the spot then, too, but it was amazing. A lot of people were rushing around, like Lord Kazuki and Lord Suzune."

I just passed out, and I never thought I'd worry about so many things.

No, I'm sorry too for the confusing way I fell.

"When did Mr. Alk get back here?"

"Yesterday, right? Many knights can't move because of their injuries, and the power here is so thin that only knights who can move, including me, have come back here."

"Were you... If anyone is injured, should we cure them?"

Suggesting so, Mr. Alk shook his head sideways.

"No, I'm not going to let you have that much trouble. We've already been treated by the lifeguards on the battlefield, and Lord Usato will be sick?"

"Speaking of sickness, it's sickness..."

In the morning, Knuck, Ferm and morning training ran around as much as I wanted.

With a subtle expression on my face, Mr. Alk went on to utter words.

"Then don't push it. Maybe your heart is weaker than you think. Take advantage of this and rest your body and mind."

If Mr. Alk, who wasn't aware of that, but has traveled with him, says so, maybe he is.

Nodding at Mr. Alk's words, he turns his gaze and speaks to Nair, who is on my shoulder.

"Nea, would you like to speak to Lord Usato?"

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

To Mr. Alk's words, Nair nods with a confident look.

... hmm? Mr. Alk, why would Nair treat you like my guardian...?

"Well, it's time for me to get back to work,"

"Excuse me. Sorry to bother you."

"No, rather glad to see you again safely this way"

Then, after about two words exchanged, two figures appear from the side of the castle as they try to break up.

"Hey! Usato!"

"Kazuki and... Mr. Flana? She came back here, too."

Someone from the guard told me, apparently picked me up.

After bowing to Mr. Alk and all the guards nearby, he joins the two of them and steps into the castle.

"Ever since we met on the battlefield. Thank you for saving me then."

"I'm glad you're feeling better, too."

The battle against the Third Legion Commander was different from the other Legion Leaders......

But I'm really glad I was able to disable the Third Army Commander.

If you ignored me like that and fled the sky, you wouldn't have been able to chase me.

"Kazuki. Where are you headed now?"

"It's about the training ground. Leona says she's there now."

"A training ground... Speaking of which, seniors?"

I now realize that I don't see the seniors, and I ask Kazuki.

"Oh, they're putting together some enemy information or something from that war today. We came after this, so we picked up Usat before."

"That's right..."

So, are you gonna tell me about the report, too?

Perhaps Mr. Alfi will be in charge then.

"Hmm."

"What's wrong, Frana?"

Tilt his neck from next to Kazuki to Frana, who is looking at me.

Was it on your face?

"... Usat, the atmosphere is completely different from normal when fighting."

"Well, that's... I'm aware. Instead, I recently made sure to be aware"

If I stay stuck forever, Amako will be mad at me...

But no matter what they say, I'm no different from being human.

No matter what anyone says, I will never give in there.

"Sure, Usat, which is the time of battle, is no more reliable. Yeah."

"Sometimes I get scared of Kazuki's purity..."

"Though I know you're reliable. My words and actions are out of the ordinary."

Yeah, yeah, Nair and Flana show a slightly pulled reaction to the nodding Kazuki.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a little itchy, though I'm glad they said it's reliable.

"But from the people you're fighting, Usato must be terribly scared."

"Really?"

"In fact, it was not normal for me to be frightened of my men with the Captain of the Third Legion, which was temporary but captured. Now I ask, what the hell did you do then?"

"That's what I want to know... No, really."

I know I was confused without my phantom magic working, but all of a sudden I tried to stab a knife in my foot, or suddenly I started apologizing even though I didn't do anything.

At the end of the sentence, what's going on with the devil's treatment?

Why should my staple foods be turned into souls?

As for the various causes, I have a general conjecture.

"Later, I'll ask Ferm and Nair in the quarters. … I'm sure you know what you did?"

"He!?"

Don't get mixed up in the conversation, smile at Nair, who was turning into an unspeakable owl.

I forgot because I was fainting, but I need to listen closely.

From Nair, who turned blue in his face, he looked forward and remembered what Amako predicted.

……

Speaking of which, are Kazuki and Flana asking about Amako's predictions?

... No, I guess we shouldn't be talking here.

I don't know where people's eyes are, and Master Lloyd may not have informed me about the predictions in the first place.

If it's enough to confuse you badly, you shouldn't put it in your mouth.

"Usato, what's wrong?"

"... yeah, it's nothing"

"? Well, if there's nothing... it's time for a training ground"

Looking forward to Kazuki's voice, I can see the castle training ground I always use, too.

In that place, I find the figure of a woman pretending to be a spear.

"Huh!"

It's Leona, a woman with beautiful golden hair tied to one behind her back.

She had a spear, a brave man's weapon, twisted, paid, poked, and rolled it out to flow without any disturbance.

Frana gave a slightly more floating voice to the more sophisticated move than she had made when she joined forces at Miarak.

"Mr. Leona is a cool guy, isn't he? Maybe I'll admire you a little bit."

I know how that feels.

It was really cool when you ran me through the battle with Baldinak.

When we arrived near the training ground, Kazuki, who had stopped his leg, turned to us.

"Well, we're headed to the report."

"Yeah. Thanks for getting this far, Kazuki.

... Oh, yeah.

Before I break up with Kazuki here, I need to ask her if she can teach me how to resist magic.

"Right now, I'm wondering if I can make it as resilient to magic as Kazuki, but if there's a trick or something, can you let me know? Of course, I wish I had time."

"Usato resists magic?... I see, I don't mind at all!"

I thank Kazuki again for the smile. [M]

If there's nothing else Kazuki can tell you, you're a golden stick to a ghost, yeah.

"If it's time, how about this afternoon?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine at that hour."

"... rather than being okay, I only have basic training."

Nair whispered so loudly and nodded as she was poked at the star.

"So, we'll meet at the training ground this afternoon, then, Usato! Nair! See you later!"

"Yeah, see you later, Kazuki"

"Thanks for the guide."

Me and Nair, who broke up with Kazuki and Flana after discussing a light, training schedule or something, take us straight to the training ground.

The training ground still has Mr. Leona waving his spear, but he just can't get in the way of his training, so he decided to wait until he had a paragraph at the edge of the training ground.

"I've fought people with spears... but Mr. Leona's spear moves don't feel like it"

Somehow, it feels like there's a core through the attack.

Poking, twisting, paying, just repeating it, but the motion has no precipitation and no gaps.

"You've heard the story that if you stick to the basics, you don't need any other moves..."

"Uh, from who?"

"I manipulated it about a hundred years ago, from this spear man."

"The one named you..."

"Honestly, I didn't really understand what I was saying either, so I freed him up right away."

I unintentionally zero my sigh to the blatant Nair.

When we had that exchange, Leona, who was training with a spear, noticed us.

"U, Usato!? Hey, you there!?"

"Oh, is that so surprising...?"

Mr. Leona turns his previously riddled face into a look of surprise.

She smiled troubled as she walked over here, upset.

"You're a bad person, too. If you're here, I wish you'd call me."

"No, I just thought it was a bad idea to get in the way... Can we talk now?"

"Absolutely. I wanted to talk to you."

Mr. Leona turned the spear in his hand, along with the light, into a pendant.

In the meantime, lower your hips to the nearby raw material to talk calmly.

"Nair, I'm glad you look good too"

"You've become more brave than you ever were."

"Oh, is that right?"

To Nair's words, Mr. Leona shows a slightly lit appearance.

... I have to thank you now.

"Mr. Leona. Again, thank you for coming to help."

"I can't thank you enough. As I said during the battle, I've come to repay you, too. Instead, I still can't give it back."

"So, but..."

"But."

Mr. Leona, who blocked my voice, raised his index finger.

"Given your personality, that doesn't seem convincing, so why don't we call this your son? I was saved by you, too."

"The way you put it is a little sloppy..."

She looked at me eating her face and laughed strangely.

After all, will you understand with your face? Hmm, they read my thoughts.

"Huff, I'm glad to see your year-to-year response."

"Yep..."

It's like I'm not old enough...

Slightly illuminated, Nair on his shoulder nodded to agree with Mr. Leona that he was out of sight.

"From what I usually do, it takes as long as I think you're a child, but you're also seventeen years old."

"You're about 300 years old, and you're very persuasive."

"Huh, by vampire standards, I'm your age."

"... eh?"

What's that first ear?

No, just the standards don't change you older than me, but vampires have that lifespan.

Stunned by the fact that I had never cared, I turned to Mr. Leona again.

"Mr. Leona to the kingdom of Ringle after the battle?"

"Oh, before I went to the battle, Master Farga ordered me to wait in the kingdom of Ringle."

"I see..."

From the current state of Miarak, Mr. Leona assumed that he would have to leave soon, but Master Farga had some thoughts, too, and maybe that's what he ordered.

"We are now having an exchange of information and discussions with Norn, Farga and Lloyd, the King of the Kingdom of Ringle, in Miarak, via Hoover"

"When it comes to discussion, is it like post-war measures?"

"I haven't been informed of the content itself, but they're just a little different"

Maybe it's a discussion about Amako's predicted crusade to the Demon King.

Then I can explain to you that we are having a discussion with Falga, who is a secret being.

"You seem to have a pretty good guess."

"... excuse me. Now......"

"I know. To avoid unnecessary confusion?"

Am I really going to get on my face?

Ms. Leona changes her gaze from me, leaning her neck as she touches her cheek, to the training ground.

"After the battle, you're restless..."

"Right. Maybe it's because I assume you shouldn't be relieved somewhere in your mind."

Nod to agree with her and let magic float in her palms.

The turbulence is not over yet, and that's why I was trying to develop a technique to compensate for my weakness.

Mr. Leona asks me a question about your interest in the magic that is floating in your palms.

"Usato, what is that? It doesn't seem to be the same thing that would have caused the strengthening of the previous lineage."

"Oh, this is-"

Explain what you are practicing to make your magic resilient.

Ms Leona, who heard it, reacted somewhere.

"Ma, you are about to grow in a strange direction again... Now I feel safe in a direction that is not dangerous..."

"Ha..."

"Resilient to magic? A move that can be done because it is an indeterminate magic, unlike attributes like flames and thunder. My magical properties make it impossible... interesting."

Mr. Leona groans so as he puts his finger on his chin.

"Is that possible?"

"I hope you use Master Farga's cage hands. You don't know if you can do it unless you try."

If you can grab something, even if it's impossible, that's fine.

Blah, blah, blah. Not as hard as elasticity, but it can be treated as a healing glove for both hands.

"Next time, Kazuki... the brave man who can make his magic resilient will see his training."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm going to do it this afternoon."

Maybe seniors will come too, so I'm not looking forward to skipping training.

Leona, who was listening to the training and showing her how to conceive, looks up.

"Can I take part in that training?"

"...... eh!?"

I was surprised by the sudden offer.

She looks slightly anxious when she looks at me surprised.

"... su, sorry. If it bothers you..."

"Yes, no! I don't even wish it! But... okay? Mr. Leona, I'm busy..."

"No, from a standpoint, it's not like I can talk to conferences in other countries. We're running out of time until the next life comes from Falga and Norn."

If that's the case......

"Well, that means Mr. Leona's in the afternoon training, too."

"I don't know if I can help you, but I'll try my best to be."

But it's a luxury for me to train with three brave men.

We have to try to grasp something today so the three of us won't be disappointed.

"And what about the kingdom of Ringle?"

"It's the first place I've been, but I think it's a good place. Unlike Miarak, it's surrounded by trees… what a place to calm down."

Miarak is a city surrounded by lakes, so I guess everything looks different compared to the kingdom of Ringle. … By the afternoon, do we still have time?

"There's still time, and should I show you around the city? I'd like you to meet Amako."

"Mm, okay?"

"I was guided through Miarak before. I'll pay you back."

"If that's the case, let me spoil your generosity"

Stand up straight and start walking towards the castle gate.

Even though it's the war, you've come to the Ringle Kingdom at the corner.

Let's get to know some of the good things about here.

"First of all, what's good here? I wouldn't be surprised if I ran with Burlin on my back."

"... the people of the kingdom of Ringle are mighty"

"You're used to it. Maybe you have more liver than the rest of the kingdom?"

That's not what I was expecting?

Leona leaned her neck slightly and we headed into the city.
