A scream of a child echoing in the dark woods.
Having heard it, my senior and I rush to the voice-over with all our might to come out of the woods into an open space.
First, places like settlements lined with many old houses get into view.
"Mr. Usato! That!!"
Look in the direction pointed by seniors entangled in electric shock.
In front of the door of a house a turn bigger than the others, a demonic man bleeding out of his feet and falling down, and two children crying around beside him. And there are demons, girls standing in front of a bunch of Hangwolves, to protect a wounded man.
"Get over there! Get close!!"
At the girl's feet, the shadows shake, and things like tentacles are swung out into the universe to keep the demons away, but it's weak.
"That kid, do the dark magic...!?"
"It's better to deal with demons now!"
"Exactly!"
More deeply hooded, the senior accelerated at once with electric shocks all over his body, slamming a strong flying kick into Hangwolf as he tried to assault a girl using dark magic.
"--Huh?"
"Ah, cute!?"
The scream of a senior who sees a girl goes through.
I need to take care of someone who got hurt while the seniors were responding to Hangwolf trying to attack the kids.
"Senior, keep the demon away from us!"
I'll take care of it.
Seniors are electrically shocked forward and are holding us back from getting demons closer to this one.
In the meantime, I approach two children who are crying and clinging to a demonic man.
"Stay away from me! Who is it? You guys!!"
A girl using dark magic stands in between to be vigilant.
In front of the girl whose voice is trembling, I give in to gaze at her, and I speak in the most serene voice possible.
"It's okay, because I'm just gonna make allowance"
"... so, but..."
Is he a little older than the kid who's crying because of his age?
Girl featuring dark silver hair and small horns. From the looks of it, the knacks and the years also look close.
A stranger, and wearing a hood and hiding his face, can't help but be wary of me.
'--Ha, I can't help it. Do you want to try?'
Ferm?
When she whines so small in me, it feels like the hood worn on my head is pushed out into something.
With that, I hold something just a little uncomfortable with the black magic that covers my body.
"Usato, it's okay to remove the hood"
"Oh, but..."
'Fine!'
Black magic forces him to move the hood and exposes his face.
I tried to hide my face, but the children who saw my face besides my thoughts were not surprised.
Nair, who was as surprised as the children were, speaks from above her shoulders in a whisper.
"Usato, you, you got horns growing? And her hair looks white, and her skin looks like a demon..."
"What? Huh?"
When I do my hand on my head in confusion, I do have horns around my side head.
Instead, when I look at my hands, I have demonic brown skin.
"I used the power of assimilation to bring only the color of my skin to me. The horns are made of magic, so you don't have to worry weird '
Can assimilation do that?
No, it's a little complicated, but it looks like we could have de-alerted the kids in front of us.
Face the girl as she takes a small, deep breath to regain her composure.
"I want to make his allowance. Do you mind?"
"Ugh, yeah! Help Greff!! Uncle!"
... Uncle?
I look at the wounds of a demonic man called Greff, a little concerned about his uncle calling.
Hangwolf must have bit me.
To this extent, you can cure with healing magic - but if you show healing magic poorly, you'll find out you're human, so you cure with subtle healing magic while wrapping a bandage for first aid removed from your bag.
"Now we're all right"
"Ho, true!?"
"Yeah, but I'm fainting, so you guys wait here for a little while. We'll get rid of the demons that attacked you."
Tie the bandage properly and then get up and move on to the senior who is unleashing an electric shock
Healing magic is phylogenetic magic that is expressed only in humans. Someone who understands, so you shouldn't use healing magic to fight.
Cover your arms with black magic and let them whip from your back and protect the children behind you.
"Wow, the same dark magic as me..."
I can hear the girl from behind, but now let's focus on what's in front of us.
"The injured have healed. All we have to do is get rid of these guys."
"Wu, Usato, are you okay with that look?"
"Later...... Really, it's just the appearance..."
No matter how alert I was, I never thought I'd look like a demon myself.
The seniors also saw the demonic children behind me, and they understood everything.
"Now let's get this over with!"
Drawing the knife out and at the same time entangling the electric shock, the senior heads to Hangwolf with the roaring sound.
Having switched consciousness, I set my aim for the nearest Hangwolf and put my left arm up.
"Stretch!"
Stretch out the black magic on your left arm and grab Hangwolf's neck and pull him in.
Hangwolf getting semi-frequent and rampaging, but an arm made of black magic won't scratch one.
"Bye, Va!?"
"Oh man!!"
"Kuh-uh!?"
Throw him into the woods with a groan of pain.
Two Hangwolves, who saw their companion disappear into the woods with a sad cry, continue to rush into me.
As soon as Ferm deformed his left arm into the shape of a shield, he pushes his left arm forward and sets up a body hit.
"Different use!?"
Hey I don't know what you're talking about but thanks!!
I grab the frightened one and the other root that has been attacking me as it is.
And then if you throw it in the woods --,
"Danger!"
"Hmm?"
"" Gah! ""
At the same time as the voice of such a girl, I can hear something flying from left to right.
Are you trying to pinch me from the sound?
But...
"Let it be!"
"You see it!"
- I have no blind spot in this state...!
From around the shoulder blades of his back, a sharp clawed arm stretched out mimicking the black knight's caged hand, grabbing two bodies that tried to ambush him, simultaneously casting a curse of restraint.
"If I can't use my arm, I thought I'd eat it easily, you wanker...!"
"Wow, you look like a devil, this is..."
Calm down, don't you think I look pretty bad right now?
He's a demon figure, and he grows two things like black knight arms on his back.
If I add, I'm grabbing a hang wolf in each hand.
... No, let's not worry about it now.
"Sora!"
"" "" Kuh-uh!? ""
In the meantime, I'll throw the four I grabbed into the woods.
"Well, and"
If you look at the senior with your hands hanging, you can see the sight of a paralyzed hang wolf cramped and lying on the ground.
Looks like the seniors cleaned up the rough way.
"Mine... hey, huh?"
"" "Huh!?" "
When I glanced at the rest of Hangwolf, I realized that they would do the same thing as the guys who threw them away, too, and they fled in the direction their buddies were thrown at full speed, with their whole bodies in total furrow.
"... I feel more scared of demons these days"
"Are you aware of this?"
I whine about that while returning the black magic stretched out of my back.
The Hangwolf herd is good to have repelled, but I'm not sure I can get involved with them staying here.
Even if I'm the only one dressed as a demon, the senior and everyone who hasn't arrived yet have to hide their faces in the hood.
Nair accidentally jumped out of my shoulder as I was trying to figure out what to do while checking with the seniors rushing over here.
"... Nair, what's wrong?"
"I've come up with something good. Wait a minute."
"Oh, hey!"
Nair, feathered with rust and wings, flies into the shadows of the building.
I know you didn't go far, but what did you go...?
"What are you gonna do, Usato?"
"I just want to wait till everyone gets here, but you should get him to the building where he's falling first"
"... you know, Usato"
"I'll talk to those kids. Seniors feel dangerous."
"What do you think of me?"
No, what is the first person who sees a child using dark magic saying "Cute!"?
Leaving it to the seniors is going to borrow in an instant, so when I tried to talk to her again from me, she came out of the shadow of the house where Nair flew away, transformed from owl to human form.
It was as if Nair's head, rushing over with the body that chased us, had horns like goats, and her skin had turned to the same brown color as the demon clan.
"I've turned into a demon clan. You wouldn't be suspicious of this."
"Ne, Nea has a demonic daughter attribute...!? How much attribute do you exalt, this child!?"
"The one named you..."
"This guy is anything..."
But I'm pretty sure it's a lot easier to communicate than talking alone.
Nice decision in that sense.
Bringing a gruesome senior-in-law behind him, me and Nair approach the girl and two children looking at me from earlier.
"Uh, nice to meet you. I say Usat, Usat Ken."
"Hello, I'm Nair accompanying him on his journey"
The two children cry and hide behind the girl's back when they talk to avoid scaring her as much as possible.
Ugh, not good. I can't grasp the sense of distance.
Nair followed with a grinning grin about how he looked at me like that and opened his mouth.
It's my wife.
"What are you lying to a child about, you?"
"Chan!?"
Hit Nair's forehead with a healing rifle that flew out of his cage hand.
Ignoring her stuffy with the women's ragged voices, she talks to the children looking refreshed.
"May I have your name?"
"... Keira. These kids, Rose and Lamb."
"Bye, Keira. The demons may strike again, so let's just get this guy who's passed out into a nearby house."
"... yeah"
Confirming that Kokuri and Keira nodded, I am in charge of a demonic man called Greff.
"Senior, when Kazuki and the others arrive, can I ask for an explanation or something?"
"Either way, that seems to be all I can do right now... All right, Kazuki, I'll meet you there, and I'll be waiting for you."
The first thing you need to do is make sure this guy is safe and sound like a guardian.
When Mr. Greff lays his hands on the doors of the doors of the nearby house where he was falling, he can smell the sound of wood pounding and the smell of mold that hasn't been used in years.
"... do other houses feel the same?"
As it is, they pull the hem of their clothes from behind as they try to step into the building with Nair.
Turning around, a girl named Keira took her hand off the hem of her uniform in a slight panic.
"Oh, uh, uncle, the... thank you"
"Uncle......"
"Pu, hehe, uncle."
Ignore Nair, who is laughing, and see herself in the glass window at the entrance.
It is blurry and dirty with dust, but there is my face where black horns grew and turned into demonic brown skin.
Put your hands on your chin, thinking of Master Lloyd, Mr. Siggles, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. Hyde.
I would have been shocked to call my uncle before... yeah.
"Was it so... dandy?"
"You're not even full..."
"You're such an idiot sometimes."
Every time, they just tell me it looks like Rose, so I just feel a little fresh.
You just don't care because they call you worse than your uncle ever called you, do you?
