332 Lesson 294

Basically we thought we couldn't get away from where the Demon King is, but apparently we're free to move in addition to our thoughts.

One reason for this is that there is Master Farga here.

Since this is already Farga-like territory, neither the Demon King nor a bypassing imitation, in addition to the fact that Mr. Leona and Mr. Caron are waiting nearby, I had some free time for me and my predecessors to move.

"I'm surprised the Ferms didn't show up."

"I guess she's thinking about being that kid, too."

The next day we arrived in Miarak.

Reminds me of the conversation I had earlier as I walked down a few popular streets lined with the same building.

I decided to use my free time to get out in order to get an idea of the surrounding building and where I was staying, but at that time Fermu refused to go out.

"You might make a scene when I follow you. I don't want to bother you, and I'm making a big deal out of you here for today. '

Perhaps Fermu cared about me.

Gratefully appreciating her care, she walks along an almost unpopular path with an owl nair on her shoulder.

"It's a strange feeling to expand a city."

"If you think the lake is spreading beneath you, it'll make you feel strange."

The place I'm walking now was on the water until before this.

The magic of expanding the city and allowing the impotence of creating new buildings on it seems really amazing.

With the technology of the original world, it would never be possible to make it so fast.

"It's nice to be less popular. If I talk, they won't suspect me."

"Tomorrow or the day after, things will be different."

Representations from all countries will come in earnest tomorrow.

A lot of people come from countries I know, from countries that exist far away.

……

The anxiety is, after all, subhuman discrimination.

We know that this meeting will be attended by the Elves, the Beasts, and the most hostile Demons.

The Demons aren't so worried because they have a weak, but shitty, demon king, but they're worried about something else.

"Don't you have to look around?"

"... oh"

"I wish I could pull my shoulder out at a time like this"

I'm embarrassed by Nair on my shoulder.

It's really important to take a breath.

"Then go see the rumor training ground!"

"What a way to pull out your shoulders."

A training ground I didn't think I'd ever go from myself.

We can only go at this time, so let's go see it now.

There won't be any people now.

"Don't make my heart jump...!"

"Your childhood is crazy.... don't you want to go?"

"That's settled."

If that's the case, let's keep going straight to the training ground.

The land added to Miarak is considerable and the training grounds are large enough to fit in whole.

Moreover, it is quite noticeable because it is in the middle of a section where many inns are built.

"... no, that's big"

Do you also have audience seats available, wrapped around the training ground in walls as high as a little arena?

"I thought you took care of looking good or something. It's like a recreational facility."

"Do you feel like comparing your escorts?"

"Looking good is going to happen."

That would scare me......

I'm worried that the evil ride of the Demon King will get me and my senior involved.

Apparently the doors and the like are liberated, so I step inside.

"Ooh..."

It's pretty wide when you come in.

It is placed on a neatly ground, on the edge of the ground.

Training weapons like wooden swords were also well stocked and seemed like an impeccable place to train.

"... if you think about it, it doesn't make sense to come here, does it? You can't just use it on your own."

"You can't force yourself in here, really, in your position."

……

Well, I could just see it, okay?

"I don't choose where to train..."

"I don't want to understand, but I'm unreasonable to understand because of my long relationship with you..."

I trained to keep the place alive during my journey.

Rather, there's so little I could have done in a decent place.

"--Hmm?"

Looking at the training ground from a place located in the guest seat, I feel someone's gaze from behind me.

You're not a senior... who?

"What's going on? Usato?"

"Is there someone there?"

When I speak to the entrance behind me with some vigilance, one figure emerges from the end of the aisle.

When I get to the signs and appearance of no one I know, the person who came out rushes out to a spot in the light with his hands up.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to alarm you."

"Are you..."

What came out was a boy wearing a distinctive robe.

Same as the other day, the lower back is equipped with a sword resembling a cutlass placed on the sheath.

Seeing its neutral appearance and weapons, I realize that it's the boy I saw all over the city yesterday.

"Well, yesterday we met, didn't we? Do you remember?"

"Oh, I was all over the city yesterday... why are you here?"

Ask him why he's here without breaking his guard.

"Oh, I'm here because..."

He tries to walk in front of me with those words, and he falls as-is with his feet taken by the steps on the ground.

I wake him up as he falls defenselessly and rushes over in disquiet. [M]

"It's okay. Oh, I'm sorry! I stink sometimes...! I'm a country man!"

"Never mind, I'm not angry. Stand up?"

"Oh, oh."

Make him stand up while making sure he's not hurt.

Then I notice a bandage wrapped around my right hand I took when I woke him up.

Blood seeps into a bandage wrapped in a luxurious hand that I don't think carries a sword with me.

"Hands, are you hurt?"

"No, this is... fall..."

"You're not the one who fell and got hurt... Cure with healing magic, okay?"

"Ugh, yeah."

I don't know who this guy is, but he's pretty badly wounded.

Sit him in one of the audience seats nearby and take a bandage.

"Whatever you think, it's not a fall injury."

……

A number of lacerations are carved from the tip of the hand to about below the elbow.

I recognize this wound, and I speak to the boy who turns away at ease.

"Did you strengthen the system?"

"... do you understand?"

"It's not safe, is it? The outburst of magic will hurt you. [M] It's no surprise that if you do poorly, you'll never move again."

Heal his wounds with healing magic, under Nair's gaze, which mouth says.

The wound that I recently had healed quickly... but this injury should have hurt a lot for a regular person. If you said you were patient, it wasn't much praise.

For once, keep healing magic on himself as well.

"Thanks. I didn't even name you..."

"That's okay."

I still couldn't leave anyone who this boy was suspiciously unchanged but injured as a healing wizard.

Well, I can also imagine that you got hurt and approached me, but seeing him in front of me now doesn't seem like an act.

For once, I'll even ask Nair, who has her hands on her mouth and shoulders.

"Nair, do I look like an act?"

"... no"

If Nair says so, I'm sure it's not an act.

... It's a conundrum, but this guy doesn't look like a bad guy.

"Usato, you know what I mean?"

"... don't be alarmed, do you?"

He nods at Nair, who has whispered in his ear, and turns his gaze to him next door.

Then he talks in such a way that he was terrified that he was mopping his wound-healing right arm.

"I'm Shea. It's called Shea Garmio."

"Uh, I..."

"Usat, right? Usat Ken. I know you very well. Kingdom of Ringle, in the healing wizard of the Lifeguard Corps...... a meritorious man who ended his battle with the Demon King"

……

Wait, I'm honestly scared.

I'm freaked out by the fact that they know about me where I don't.

"I don't know why you look at me, but you're a celebrity. I'd rather not know."

"No, I think you and Kazuki are more famous for two brave men than I normally am..."

"For me, it's not."

He growls so with a slightly more serious voice.

Wait, I'm not the only one who knows about me, I'm the lifeguard.

"I mean, who wants to join the group...?"

"Where's the idiot going to hell from me..."

Hold your mouth with your hands, and when you squeal like that, Nair, who is on the opposite shoulder from the one with Shea, slaps you on the cheek with his wings.

The spread of my name increases the number of people who wish to join the group.

That hasn't happened once since the battle with the Demon King, but there's a chance it's about to happen in this place right now...?

"I'm traveling. I was so surprised when I saw you because I didn't know there would be a union meeting here."

Speaking of which, you were surprised.

"Yeah. I wish I could see you. I was walking around."

"Not too unplanned?"

It's amazing how you run into me.

Are you lucky naturally...?

"Who is this guy..."

"But it doesn't seem like a bad person."

Get to the point whispering and talking to Nair.

I don't look like a bad person, but I need to find out why because I'm pretty sure you're getting close to me.

"Why were you looking for me?"

"For one reason I simply wanted to see you. I fought that demon king, so what was he like?"

"Does one mean there's something else?"

"Yeah."

He snorted, only for a moment, with a troubled look on his face.

"I'm grateful to you."

"... it's your first meeting, isn't it?"

"Yeah, first time"

... What do you mean...!?

I just have to be confused by him smiling so happily.

Someone I helped? No, I don't remember anyone making this impression.

Could it be the relatives of those who helped him as a lifeguard? That's likely.

I forgot to tell you, I'm a woman.

"... eh?"

"Ha, I knew it..."

Even more tattered by my confusion and thoughtlessness...!?

Oh, lying... it's a girl...!?

I'm sighing like Nair convinced, but it's too unexpected a fact for me.

"Come on," he said.

Shea takes off the robe she wore.

That just changed my impression of being a boy to being a girl.

Reddish... No, is this the one called Mesh?

I distract myself from her awkwardly when I touched her in the light of her hair like red hair mixed with black hair.

"Of course, I knew it."

"Is it true? Well, I'm used to it, so it's okay."

"... maybe I'll tell Leona later..."

Hear Nair's disturbing whine.

No, you normally think you're a man because you call me...!

You're mistaken because you're hiding almost from the neck to the top with a robe...!

"Besides, it's easier to be mistaken for a man to travel alone."

"Really?"

"Even so, I've only been traveling for about six months"

"I think it's amazing if you're alone."

Even the handover journey is three months.

If it's six months, it's twice that, so it's awesome at that point.

"Why are you traveling?"

"... uh, I didn't get out of myself, but the... need to be driven"

?

What's the matter?

It's not a good idea to let the person you met today tell you what's going on there, so why don't you just ask him?

Then, slightly wolfed, she turned to me to deflect from the subject.

"That's better than that. Um... can I see your cage hand?"

"Cage hands mean this bracelet?"

"Is that the bracelet? But caged hands are not in shape..."

... you don't know anything about cagemen?

Speaking of which, when I solved Miarak's case, my sketch with my cage hands was in the paper? Seniors told me it was used for.

Is that the information we got from it?

"Do you know what this is?"

"I don't know much, because I know it's amazing. … I want to touch the memorial."

"In memory."

That sounds like a tourist destination.

... Well, if it's enough to show you, fine.

Gradually releasing her guard against Shea, she wraps her cage around her right arm and shows it to her.

"This is..."

"He's been fighting with me for a long time. He's my partner."

Caged hands I've relied on since Miarak.

Master Farga made it for me, and there were many occasions when it would have been dangerous without this.

Having touched her fearful right arm, she stares at the caged hand for a moment.

……

I'm not even looking around, I'm just passing the time she's watching the cage hands.

Was it about a minute later?

I notice tears in her eyes as she watched the caged hands with an indescribable expression.

"Shea?"

"... Eh, sorry"

There was no element of crying!?

What do you say yourself, you're just a stiff cage hand!?

"I'm kind of happy... thanks... thanks"

"Yep..."

Many times I get thanked for crying.

I don't know what that means. Gratitude only puzzles me the other way around.

"Usato, that's bad, this guy. My emotions are too unstable..."

That's just how Nair is donning to Shea, who is looking strange.

I can't believe anyone else rocks his emotions as much as he saw my cage hand... no, I immediately thought of him as a senior, but on the contrary, I'm surprised he was outside of that guy.

"Calm down?"

"Yeah...... yeah, sorry. I (...)... feel safe."

"... peace of mind?"

Shea makes a profound statement, although she stopped crying.

This kid has something.

I've noticed that over the past year, I breathe lightly and deeply.

"... All right"

I am aware that I am destined to attract people who have had problems with me.

I can't say I accepted it yet, but if she's having any major problems next door right now, you should just listen to her.

So determined, I turn to her leaning down again. [M]

"I thought you were having some trouble."

"Uh...?"

"I don't know if there's anything I can do... why don't we talk about it?"

What do you say...?

Asking how she was nervously, Shea drops her gaze down to patronize after giving her a distraught look.

Temporary silence.

I was silently grinding, waiting for her to talk to me.

"... you know, Usat. My magic..."

"Hey, Usato. I'm here. '

"Huh!"

When Shea tried to tell me something, I could hear the voice she was used to hearing from the aisle she had just arrived in.

Looking back at that voice, I notice multiple footsteps approaching from the aisle.

"Kazuki?"

"Hey...... oh, I was really there"

"Amako's right..."

"I told you. He said he was at the training ground."

It was Kazuki, Mr. Flana and Amako who came out.

Kazuki and Mr. Flana don't know why Amako is here anyway, but I'm surprised they came here.

"Kazuki, why are you here...!?"

"I'm here to see you. I finally have time to rest, too. When I came to you and the seniors, I was looking for you because I heard you were out there."

What about Amako?

"It's just like Kazuki.... Kannagi accompanied us to the inn, so it's okay."

So Amako came to the inn just like Kazuki?

So you came to our inn with Mr. Nagi, and then you came looking for me with Kazuki?

Amako, wearing a hood to hide her ears, tilts her body and looks next to me and tilts her neck.

"... there was someone there? I heard you talking."

"Huh?"

Looking back, no one was where Shea sat until earlier.

Even the seeping bandage of blood that was wrapped around her arm had disappeared, and I couldn't see her anywhere when I looked around.

"Shea...?"

"Usato, what's wrong?"

"I had a girl here earlier..."

"When we got here, there was nobody but you?"

Twist your neck to Mr. Flana's words.

True, she was there.

A reduced amount of magic tells the story of it, and more importantly, there is a witness named Nair.

"Did they show you the illusion?"

"It doesn't. I think it's almost impossible to hypnotize you."

"Say that much..."

Mr. Flana has assured me.

If the phantom magic user says so, yes, but don't be so sure.

"Even if all creatures other than you were hypnotized, if you're wrong, I'd believe you more than I do."

"Are you happy about that...?"

I don't feel like I've been called a monster out of the blue.

Talking that far, Amako now talks to Nair.

"Nair, what happened?"

"Usat attracted me again"

"... haha..."

Wow, that's a heavy sigh.

It would be nice to save you the trouble of explaining, but it's a rather troublesome issue for me.

"Not fast to find out...!? What do you mean!?"

"Usat is a freak whee"

"I don't know what that means!?"

Things don't swallow up. One person confuses you, Mr. Flana.

——— Unidentified girl, Shea.

In retrospect, I knew little about her but her name.

It seemed like he was intentionally hiding his identity, and he seemed to be asking me for help.

I don't know who she is.

But she didn't like the people I've been involved with before - I felt like I was in danger.
