262 Lesson 237

I know how to fight Usat.

Usat's own human detached reflex nerves, defense by cagemen, restraint and resistance by Nair's sorcery, Ferm's dark magic coat, numerous moves that applied the outburst of phylogenetic enhancement, and - elastic grants knitted by looking at techniques that make my magic resilient.

I have dealt with any opponent by doing everything I can and using it separately depending on the situation.

But Usat in front of me is different.

It was too different from what we know about Usat.

"--- Wow!!"

The movement is like a storm itself.

Usat's behavior as he makes his assault on seniors, spinning heavily, is too off track when it comes to humans.

Originally, if you gently wield a long sword that should be wielded with both hands, you will easily double cut the tree that is supposed to be an obstacle, stab a small sword in the ground with your backhand, and change the direction you are forced to travel - launching a fierce attack to ensure that you hunt down your senior.

"Corresponding to my movements...!?"

"I've just gotten used to it...!"

"That responsiveness is the same here! You're not too adaptable!?"

Usato and senior exchanging swordspears at unstoppable speeds in their eyes.

But seniors have no choice but to back down to Usat, who slaps his long sword with stormy rotation.

The long sword Usat uses - that's what I used.

It is something that has been broken in the battle against Koga before, and it is also the longest handled weapon in this world.

"You're dragging our death...!"

It wasn't the fist Usat was good at, and I was terribly upset that he was using it.

It's like you're trying to keep me and my senior dead from ever forgetting it, even if it's your fault, and you're driven by the feeling that there's nothing you can do about it.

"Humph!"

Usat pierces a small sword on the ground as he wields a long sword.

Axis it and increase the rotation further, flying with the momentum to the seniors.

"Miscellaneous handling of my sword!"

Yes, a few trees are broken at once when a senior-in-law who had a scratch on Usat gives himself up.

A sword technique at the mercy of power with no sword technique or snare.

But that's why that extra power is forcing me to elevate it into a move.

"Or, Kazuki! HELP!! Shit, if it stays like this, it breaks my knife!?"

"Huh, seniors, scaffolding!!"

Release a disc-shaped magic bullet and stall it around your predecessor.

With it scaffolded, she avoided Usat's wielding long sword on a piece of paper and fed a kick wrapped in electric shock to her neck.

A flash of discharge--but Usat turns his face to the seniors who unleashed the kick, without looking slightly frightened.

"Ah... oh, I'm sorry?"

……

I try to stab my sword at a senior who can't do anything until he lands as-is---but I won't let that happen!!

I unleash the magic bullet created in the cage hand of my left arm to Usat at the same time.

"Usato!"

In number, he releases fifteen magic bullets to Usat at the same time.

Attack by granting them elasticity so that they don't disappear poorly ---!!

"Now make a move -"

"Sweet"

Usat knocks his foot on the ground, he protrudes the ground like a tatami and wipes out half the magic bullet.

In addition, he flew massive amounts of debris towards us by striking the ground that raised a loudly wielded long sword.

"...... Huh!"

Attracting a magic bullet and wiping out the debris jumped into my eyes, along with a leap, the figure of Usat about to wave down his long sword.

"Do we have to intercept...!"

Roll over and avoid the attack, pulling out the sword on your back and letting a magic bullet float in your cage hand.

Disadvantaged in melee. I'm not in a situation where I can say anything!

Release the elastic grant and release a small magic bullet to Usat with the ability to extinguish it.

"...... Huh!"

If only we could take away the freedom of hands and feet, we should be able to render them powerless...!

Turn the manipulated magic bullet against Usat with disgusting emotions.

Seeing the magic bullet going to himself with cold eyes, Usato thought he would not hesitate to move to dodge it, and he went into the magic bullet without a hesitation.

"Become!?"

A magic bullet hits him directly in the leg and shoulder, leaving a hole empty, but the wound plays at a rate that even healing magic can't think of.

When you take a protruding little sword by the hand of a cage, a terribly cold voice emanates from Usat.

"The aim is too sweet. If you don't shoot me in the head, I can't take you down."

"Usato! What did you drink...! That's not normal!!"

"... a drop of Kreha Fountain. Well, I wouldn't know if I told you---"

As it is, it is played with only arm strength and allowed to melt back.

I hesitate unintentionally to make and release magic bullets.

"--- You're too alarmed."

"Huh."

While hesitating, Usato stepped into the nostalgia at once.

His fist, which at some point let go of the long sword, was pointed at my torso.

"Huh, Shima -"

"Healing Crushing Fist"

"Gah......"

A strong impact runs in the abdomen and is bounced back.

Still manage to stay and get in shape while supporting the sword.

Before I breathe on my shoulders, Usat walks up to me with the sword I picked up while paying the blood on my hands.

"Kazuki, you're too kind."

As it was, Usat waved his sword down unconstitutionally with my head hanging.

"Grr...!"

Even though he manages to divert diagonally with a sword that stands tall, the bones of his right arm sweep and severe pain run.

This despite the recirculation……! Now I may have gotten a jaw in my right arm bone……!

If I back down here, I can do it for sure.

I dared to step in big and roll out my left fist caged in light magic with Usat's shoulder hanging.

"WOOOOOOOO!!"

"So sweet"

Before my hand, Usato's knee kick slaps him to the stomach.

Usato looks down on me, kneeling in intense pain.

"Don't do anything about it. You should be stronger."

"... Usa, t?"

I don't see his expression in the shadows.

Usat, who wields his sword as it is, but his predecessor is slashed with a knife from behind before that sword is swung down.

"I won't let you kill...!"

"I can't. I've come to a point where I can't turn back."

"It doesn't matter!"

"You're a strong man."

"That's me! Your troublesome senior, the dog bell tone!"

"Do you say that yourself……!"

Usat began his senior offense as he turned around.

On that occasion, the two of them scratch out and battle at high speeds.

Usat follows in a movement that transcends even the limits of man with the power of a mysterious water called the Fountain of Creha, with an extremely fast movement of the electric shock system.

While we were fighting to destroy our surroundings and heat them up with electric shocks scattered around - I was thinking of something else as I held my abdomen down and thoroughly recovered.

"Usato, you..."

I've always felt uncomfortable.

If Usato is serious about killing me and my predecessors, something obviously unnatural has happened in previous battles.

The fact that Usato became the enemy and was not even questioned by the shock that he was going to fight, but now he finally realizes it.

"No way......"

Noticed, anger crept up in me.

This may be the first time in a way that I've had the anger so far.

And why Usat is fighting us.

And why Usat has become like this now.

If it's what I think it is, I have to be angry with Usat.

……

Get your hands off your abdomen and work out your magic.

No more hesitation.

I'm not going to take care not to hurt you badly - and I'm not going to kill you.

Just stop Usat with all your might, without looking at yourself.

"If you say it's sweet, just say it! I could say a lot to you too!!"

Stick your hands forward and force yourself to create twice the amount of magic bullets you can make at the same time.

Let them all be endowed with elasticity - to recreate the outburst of Usat's system strengthening.

"Senior! I will get involved!! Sorry!!"

"Yeah, I get it!! What do you mean, eh!? Get involved -"

"Disperse (spread)!!"

Systematic strengthening erupts and blood flows from the right hand where magic leaks out.

The resulting shock wave diffuses the Magic Bullet in all directions, flying extensively.

"" Become!? "

Magic bullets launched with acceleration, which cannot be done by my magic manipulation, bounce the surrounding obstacle by imparting elasticity, killing them both through an incredible orbit.

"--I see, that's what I'm talking about! Thunderbeast Mode 3!"

As the senior wraps a purple thunder, he hits back toward Usat one after another with a magic bullet that flies out.

Hurry up and manipulate the magic bullet while you panic a little to the seniors who did something different than my thoughts.

"Suction!"

Suck a magic bullet towards Usat and let Usat restrict its movement.

He sees a magic bullet sucking on his own body, and he moves slowly, but he turns toward me as he quickly changes his target.

But - the movement has fallen so far that even I can see it.

"System strengthening……!"

Throw your sword and cage your magic in the cage hand on your left arm.

The magic of a condensed light system turns into a dangerous substitute that extinguishes everything it touches.

"Kazuki!"

"Usato!"

- Wave a caged hand that has been turned into a hand knife by a long sword that will be swung down.

Without a glance at the long sword that was melted from the roots so as to cut the butter, he takes and erases with his palms the small sword that was next handled by the seniors rolled out.

"...... Huh!"

"Teeth, eat up!"

To Usat, who instantly lost his weapon, he puts up a right fist wet in blood.

In contrast, Usat opened his eyes wide and the next time he smiled small - he let go of the pattern of weapons he had and dropped them to the ground.

Usat, who is punched in the cheek as it is, falls backwards without even taking a reception.

"Ha... ha...! Ouch...!"

My right hand is bloody because of the sudden consumption of magic that has erupted system strengthening from me.

Me breathing on my shoulders, and my senior running over to the fallen Usat, talk to me in confusion.

"Mr. Kazuki... take care of the wound..."

"No, it's fine now"

I don't have time for that right now.

I grab Usato's chest, which lies powerless.

Staring at him already losing his temper of war, I slap the words I wanted to say with anger.

"You're the one who's doing it!! From the start!!"

"... ugh."

"It doesn't look good on me! It's not like you to be forced to be evil like that!!"

It was something I would know if I thought about it a little bit.

Usat had noticed it since the first time he was slashed by a senior.

So the tone was back to salutations like it was when I talked to my senior, and even when my senior got his arm grabbed, she was safe.

If Usat was really here to kill him, the seniors were finished when they grabbed him by the arm.

"You haven't changed anything from the Usat we know!"

……

"He's kind, thoughtful, reliable... he's my friend!!"

Even when I am.

I had any chance of killing me fighting without the determination to fight for real.

When I used a technique called that healing crushing fist, or when I kicked my knee, on second thought, Usat's power would have made it easy to kill him.

"The truth is, you knew. That we're not fakes."

"--- It's the same as fake. 'Cause they're not the same seniors I know and Kazuki."

Usato, who finally said so, smiles mocking himself as he looks up at the sky.

"... even he knew. You're not Kazuki with the seniors I know. I didn't know what you meant... but if you were there in real life, it wouldn't have mattered otherwise"

"Did you understand me?"

When the senior pointed at himself as surprised, Usat smiled as he nostalgic.

"I only know seniors who say crazy things like that in battle."

"Oh, uh... here, my fiancée is a fact"

"I wish it was fake"

"I don't like it that much!?"

I think it's first bad to try to make up the facts on your own.

As he was only slightly shuddered by the senior, Usat, who sighed small, opened his mouth again.

"I... am half the man who couldn't be a lifeguard or a healing wizard. Halfway down, crushed by the weight of what I lost, and as a result, I'm a killer."

"Usato......"

"Now, what kind of face can I put on both of you? My senior and Kazuki are dead. I've taken a lot of lives because of those two deaths."

I don't know how Usat lived since we died in this world.

But I know it's not a half-breed thing.

"Is that why you tried to take us down?"

"... Honestly, I don't know. You wanted me to stop, or you wanted me to kill you again... But you do -"

Raising his body only in his upper body, he drops his gaze on two swords that became only a pattern that fell to the ground.

Two swords left behind by me and my senior.

Speaking only of the results, it would have destroyed what was important to Usat, but for Usat, who lives now, this was only a shackle.

"The untrained have been cut off...... no, am I right in saying that you have cut me off"

"Gurrah."

That's how he shrugged. Brulin, who's been watching us fight, approaches him.

He looks like a possession has fallen, hands on Burlin's cheek.

"Thanks. Keep your hands off me."

"Guru"

"I'm all right now. … come on."

Usat, fluttering but rising, looks back at us as he wraps his healing magic around him.

Having regained his current composure, it seemed unlimited to us to know that one drop of the Fountain of Creha and its effects had expired.

"I don't ask why you two are here---"

"Actually, hey! He was sent to this world by a bastard called Kannagi while he was infiltrating the demon kingdom! Next time I see you, I'm going to do everything I can to catch you and make you regret being born with your beast ears and tail on!!"

"... well, it's a fantastic world. There must be a lot of things. I don't ask deeply."

Even in the words of the air-breaking senior, Usat has a nostalgic look on his face.

And when I turned my body to my senior again, I bowed my head deeply.

"I'm sorry. I got caught up in this on my own. Honestly, I was scared to fight the seniors at first, but the seniors were still reassured at the seniors"

"Hey, Usato. Is that a compliment?"

"Of course."

Usato, who said so and smiled, turned me next and bowed his head just like his senior.

"Sorry, Kazuki. I said sweet about you... no. Your compassion is not weakness. [M] That's definitely your strength over anything."

"... Usato"

"So whoever denies it, you go down the path you thought was right"

"Oh, okay"

After all, the fundamental part doesn't change when the world changes.

Usat is Usat.

As I carve his words firmly into my mind, I realize that the body of the senior next door is gradually becoming transparent.

"Seniors, my body...!"

"That's what you are, too. Does that mean time has come?"

I will be brought back to the original world.

Even though I still wanted to talk to Usat in this world.

Usat watched us gradually disappear, and he talked to us without worrying.

"Senior, Kazuki. Am I in your world?"

"... yeah"

"Aren't you bothering both of us like me?"

"Rather I'm bothering you"

"Senior, were you aware...!?"

It's a plain stunning fact.

Usat smiles bitterly as he is slightly surprised by the seniors' words.

"Then let such a happy man be in more trouble. Maybe I'm a legitimate healing wizard who doesn't rely on the Fountain of Kreha or fight like a shredder."

……

It reminds me of Usat fighting in a crazier way than the Usat in front of me in the back of my brain.

This Usat is pure strength, which is why I managed... but it's scary that Usat in our world really doesn't know what he's going to do...

"Sounds like it's time"

"Usato, are you..."

"I'm going my way."

Usat makes that a straight word.

Our bodies are disappearing.

Never again will I see Usat in front of me.

Does he know that too, he seems sad... still kept smiling and opening his mouth.

"Because thanks to both of us, we're finally moving forward"

Using that word, the sight in front of me shifts.

Kannagi said he'd give us nightmares.

I also told him to get rid of the sweetness.

But no.

"I do what I think is right."

Now once, reminding me of Usato's words in another world, I now relate to Kannagi once with my senior.
