The night I finished training Kazuki with my senior.

Sitting in a way that surrounds the fire in a forest surrounded by darkness, we turn our gaze to Nagi, who gathered us all.

"Shall we first check the power of the Demon King's army, excluding the Demon King, as it turns out at present?"

"Right. Let's start there."

Seniors nod at Mr. Nagi's words.

"First of all, you're Hannah, the Third Army Commander. I think Usat and the others know best about her."

"Victims of Usat"

"Bad Character Conditioner"

"Yes, no, I don't want you to explain your impression..."

Mr. Nagi will have a subtle look on Nair and Ferm who will respond immediately.

Rather, he's my victim. [M]

Although I do admit that I frightened you.

You know you were just kidding me too much, Nair starts talking with her finger on her chin.

"You're a phantom magic user. She was the one who used extensive and applied magic to make allies fight each other during the last war."

"... Now that I remember, you have bad chest shit. That one."

You remembered the knights fighting each other, Kazuki flattering his face.

"I'm glad I fought because it was Usat, the psychotolerant, but if it was Kazuki or Suzune, it might have been dangerous. It would have been troublesome if we had eaten it by accident and distinguished the enemy's allies“ inversely. "

"That's not true. I'm afraid I can't say enough."

Seniors grumble like that with a serious look.

If seniors and Kazuki had fallen into Hannah's magic, misery would not have been spared.

Hannah's opponent should be me, then.

I can disable phantom magic. [M]

Mr. Hannah herself, he wasn't a fighter and he shouldn't be a threat.

"I feel like I'm going to be out of combat just to see Usat's face anymore."

"Well, I still carved in the trauma."

Nair and Ferm are whining about something, but what is it?

When I try to ask, Mr. Nagi moves on.

"Second Legion Chief Koga is next. As for him, well, we all know because we ran into him recently, right?"

"Oh, the man who deals with dark magic, right?"

Nagi nods at Leona's voice.

"He's a troublesome demon who grows just like Usat."

Wait, you sound like I'm a troublesome person...

It's not even the air we can say that, everyone is snorting uniformly.

"He's a pain in the ass. My physical abilities are like Usato, and my thoughts are like Usato."

"Fermu, don't you have to take me for a reference?"

Ignoring my point, Fermu keeps talking.

"Above all, it's troublesome that Usat is being watched. If we're bad, we could go beyond our expectations and launch a direct raid on Usat."

I don't like that.

Honestly, if we're going to have a real fight with Koga, I have to be prepared.

If you don't have to fight, that's fine... I can't do that.

"I, too, engaged Koga during the last war, but he imitated the explosion of Usat's system strengthening, and he was able to use it right away."

"My elasticity grant was imitated just a little bit."

I'm not convinced why all my technology is absorbed, but his ability to learn is troublesome.

Sometimes, rather than, the scope of application of dark magic is too wide, but I can't complain about it because that's something I can also say to the assimilation of the ferm.

"But unlike Hannah, he's also someone who can fight on each side."

"If you don't have a handful, you can call them easy fighters."

Unlike phantoms, Koga, who has many direct attacks, can fight both seniors and Kazuki.

The problem is about his unexpected behavior, but that would be futile to think about.

"But for Usato... isn't he a little hard to fight?"

"Huh?"

I'm taken aback for a moment by the seniors' words.

Her words were surprising to everyone, and her gaze gathers.

"When we ran into each other in the last ruins, Usato looked like you were having fun."

……?

Tanoshiso?

In retrospect, we only remember eating Lariat from each other when we ran into him in the ruins.

Unable to understand, Mr. Nagi roared with his arms in his arms.

"Um, when Golem of Evil Dragon, Usat and Koga fought in the ruins, you looked pretty breathtaking.... Usato grabbed Koga's leg and swung it around and it was all so spectacular though"

"Koga's"

"Feet."

"I swung...?"

Seniors, Kazuki and Leona tilt their necks and Amako, Nair and Fermu look like they perceived something.

Mr. Nagi's malicious whining is trying to create a misunderstanding!

"No! I was just using Koga as a weapon to crush my enemies!"

"You fell to talk."

Usato, it's not human behavior on the brave side.

"What are you doing while we're gone, you guys?"

Words are hard...!

When I often look back at my words, I find myself plainly depressed when I realize I'm saying something outrageous.

... You can't just be depressed.

In a way, the next story is like the real deal.

Next up, First Regiment Leader, Nero Argens.

"... yeah, it's about him"

Mr. Nagi nods strangely.

Demonic tribe linked to Rose.

I've fought only once, but I didn't have my hands or my legs on that overwhelming strength, and I ended up only buying time.

"Through Usat's cage hand, I saw his power too... but he has the same or more strength as the powerful men who were in the days before I was sealed"

"That's enough for you to say?"

"In every age, a non-standard existence comes into being. At least one of Usato's masters."

Rather, it seems Rose beat Nero up and repelled him......

I would have been seriously ill, but it's still awesome.

"Honestly, if you're going to be dealing with Nero and the Demon King at the same time, you're sure to lose this one. That's why I don't run into Nero, and I just want to get to the Demon King, but if that's not possible -"

Mr. Nagi lifts his index finger as he looks around at everyone.

"Someone has to stop him."

That Nero Argens stall, huh?

It's not a good thing to be ready for half a life.

Even just buying time isn't on the level that it's hard to stop even though it was a life-saving thing.

"And I'll take that role"

"Mr. Nagi...?"

"The important thing is that you, the brave men, reach the Demon King."

I can feel a strong will from Mr. Nagi's eyes.

"The Demon King awaits you. I'm not the one who just woke up, but you guys who have fought through these days. Once upon a time, I don't know what you're thinking. He's a hell of a guy, but - that's all I know."

……

"If that's what you're gonna do, I'm gonna do my best."

No one could speak to the words unleashed with a readiness to go out of line.

As only the long silence, the sound of the bonfire sounded, Mr. Nagi spoke brightly to take care of it.

"And, well, as I said so far, there's nothing fine dust about my intention to die. I have a lot to do in this day and age, too!"

"Ya want to do?"

When I asked, Mr. Nagi nodded with a grin.

"I want to see with these eyes how much this era has changed. I've seen a lot of scenery from the journey through Usato's cage, but I still want to see it... and then there's food!"

"When it comes to food, it's not what it used to be?"

"Well then, in my day it was normal to lack food, and since it was just solid enough to eat rice in the first place, all the food in this day and age looks delicious and I've always wanted to try it!"

They used to be overflowing times in battle, and maybe it wasn't at food culture.

Like Nagi's rising tension, they make me understand how harsh her time was.

"So when I'm done with this fight..."

"Stop, Kannagi! Don't say any more...... ugh!"

"Hiya!?"

A senior who grabs the tail of Mr. Saragiri and Mr. Nagi so he can hold it.

Mr. Nagi trembles greatly on his shoulders in a sudden eccentricity.

"Hey, what the hell! It's too rude to grab your tail all of a sudden!"

"I prevented your death flag. So this tail is like a reward. Hey, Usato!"

No, I understand the death flag itself, but I'm having trouble getting my consent now.



Mr. Nagi had been scared of his predecessor's onslaught (?) and had evacuated me and Amako, but discussions about the Demon King's Army continued after that.

There are many elements of honesty uncertainty, such as forces other than the Legion Leader, about Armilla Belgrade, and the possibility of violent demons such as Baljinak appearing.

I guess we should really get more ready before we do, but if we do poorly, we'll also be giving time to the Demon King's Army side.

Are we leaving tomorrow?

In front of the waterfall used by seniors and Kazuki as a training place with Mr. Nagi, one person is delayed in thinking.

It's about half a day away to a city with a castle with a demon king.

If we get any closer, we will find ourselves in a situation where it is not strange when we fight the Demon King's Army.

"I wonder if the battle is inevitable"

You whine and then mock yourself for being sweet with me.

Then the footsteps approach from behind.

Slightly narrow stride, noticing if anyone came right to the mild footsteps.

"Amako. What's wrong?"

"I thought it was about time I was worried by myself, and I tried to come"

"Foresight."

Amako, coming from behind, sits next to me.

As the waterfall drifts down from the top, and she stares at the waterfall stump, she speaks without looking this way.

"You've always been lost."

"... oh"

Defeat the Demon King.

I know exactly that it's a journey for that.

But what I imagine is after that.

What will happen to the Demon Clan if we defeat the Demon King?

What happens if we defeat the Demon King?

I'm sure both outcomes will make a huge sacrifice to either humans or demons.

"If the demons were bad people... I'd be mad at Samaritan mages and Jinya the Hinomoto, but they're completely different."

"... yeah"

To survive on a barely connected earth on the brink of death called this demon kingdom.

To that end, he has fought us so far.

I am irritated by emotions that cannot be said to be right in their actions, but cannot be said to be given that.

"My predictive magic doesn't activate at these pivotal times...... If I could have looked ahead, I could have been more helpful."

"I'm helpful enough. They're still talking to me."

"No one can do that."

Amako holding her knees like an infidelity rotten.

Smiling at her like that, I sit on the ground just like her.

"Honestly, I don't know what to do."

Assuming you defeat the Demon King, what happens to the Demons?

Will the demon king disappear and perish?

But even if there was a way for the Demons to survive, is that the right choice?

"I think it's too hard to think about"

"Yep..."

When I hear my troubles, I groan at Amako, who returns them briefly.

"Usat is a brain muscle, so you just do what you think"

"I was seriously worried for once..."

"There's no answer. Because Usat's troubled story is about the future (...) I don't know if it will."

They told me it was useless to just think out of the blue.

Somehow I can't argue, Amako turns to me with her knees in her arms and smiles at me.

"Besides, if Usat chose to do whatever it takes, I'll accept it."

"... okay? You might make a hell of a choice, huh?"

"We've been traveling together, and we've done less normal things, haven't we? Besides, knowing that you don't have to predict can't be a bad result (...)"

That's what they said, and I felt strange and light-hearted.

"So, Usat can stay Usat. Doesn't sound weird to me."

"Like me."

Maybe you've been thinking a little too much.

You should think a little more positively, simplistically.

"I knew it would help to have Amako."

"You can't do that without me."

"Isn't that a little too much?"

Exchange such a light mouth with Amako.

♪ Just like me ♪

Indeed, it wasn't like me to worry about the same thing as Ujiuji forever.

Before we leave tomorrow, I'm glad you made me realize.
