The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

A room filled with the smell of blood.

Crying figures.

Laughing men.

I stand by and watch this scene as if my heart is not in it.

"Hyahaha! Let's disinfect the wound...!

"Ohhhhhh!"

This is not disinfecting filth with fire.

It is disinfecting the wound of a wounded soldier.

...... haha. Well, what else does it look like?

"I've kidnapped the wounded, ----!"

"Kyaaaahhhh!"

Now, even Mr. Mokudanobo...... Nopo didn't kidnap a woman, but only carried a wounded man.

He didn't sell them off or hurt them like a bandit.

So I don't even know why that female soldier is crying.

"Hey, hey, you ...... what's with the arm? Don't hide it, you pig! Let me patch you up!

"I'm sorry!

Now that's not funny at all.

Because if you let an injury go unattended, it can lead to all sorts of strange germs and stuff.

It's not like I'm giving you a bonito or anything.

No, my guys are all great. ...... is exactly what you need to shut your mouth.

Actually, they're silenced by fear.

While I'm sitting here in a daze, one of my guys comes up to me. I turn to him with a little fear on my face.

"Deputy Commander! I've put the wounded man to bed! Make him comfortable the rest of the way!"

Hey, hey, you can't put a wounded man to bed!

Easing him up is not what you mean when you say .......

In a situation like this, you have to give him a warning.

How many times do I have to tell you to treat your patients with respect!　You and you too, you worthless idiots!

I'm sorry assistant commander!

Oh, I'm late.

My name is Ken Usari, and everyone calls me Usato or Vice Commander.

I'm just an extra brave soul who was summoned to another world.

I am now the vice-commander of an organization called the Rescue Mission.

My specialty is healing magic, a magic that can heal any kind of injury.

I'm very happy to work at a place where people are always smiling. .......

"haha ......"

How did I end up in this overly pleasant workplace when I was leading a perfectly normal high school life in my original world? ...... It started with a number of mistakes.

It was a terrible rainy day.

I was going home after school, feeling relaxed, when a torrential downpour interrupted my path.

However, I had left my umbrella at home, so I could only watch the other students as they walked out into the pouring rain with their umbrellas flapping open.

Darn, none of my classmates conveniently have two umbrellas.

But I don't want to get soaked in the rain and feel uncomfortable.

"No choice. I'll take shelter from the rain for a while and then go out."

I'm in no hurry to leave and I don't mind the rain.

But the rain has not stopped for about half an hour. I let out a sigh as I sit in the rain at the entrance. Hey, you'll hate the rain.

Another hour goes by, and the rain clouds are covering the sky, casting shadows on the scenery around me.

"Hmmm, it can't get any darker than this, can it ......?"

Two men and a woman come from the end of the hallway to the shoe closet.

I think those two are from the ...... student council.

The man is Kazuki Ryusen. Kazuki is a guy with a cool name. He's tall and handsome, and has an impeccable character profile that would be perfect in a gal game.

He is also the vice president and a classmate of mine. By all accounts, he is a perfect superhero with an overload of settings.

He is so different from me, whose only distinguishing feature is his surname, Usato Ken.

"...... Oh..."

"What's the matter, Inukami-senpai?"

"That girl is in your class ......"

Suzune Inukami. She is the student council president of this school and a senior in her senior year of high school. She is a dignified, well-groomed, beautiful woman with black hair.

She is the object of admiration of all the boys in the school, for she is a brilliant, intelligent, athletic, and beautiful woman. She is also popular among some female students with special tastes.

Rumor has it that she is dating Ryusen or not.

She finds me at my wit's end in the shoe box.

"You don't have an umbrella, do you?"

"Eh, well, ...... yes."

"I see, so that's why you've been waiting here for it to stop raining. But it's almost time to leave for school. ......"

It was already that late.

I opened my cell phone to check the time and looked outside to see that it was still raining.

It doesn't look like it's going to stop yet. .......

The idea of having my parents pick me up had crossed my mind, but neither of them worked, so I couldn't rely on them.

Inukami Senpai crosses his arms and makes a distressed motion.

"Moo...... it's against the good name of the student council to let you go home soaking wet."

"Then, senpai, I'll lend you my umbrella, Usato-kun, if you like."

"I have a folding umbrella," says Ryusen, handing it to us in a friendly manner.

I see why he is so popular among the female students for his good-naturedness.

I talked to him for the first time since we joined the same class, but he seems to be a refreshing guy. I was a little touched that he remembered my name.

"Thank you, Ryusen-kun."

"Oh, come on, it's itchy to call me 'you'. Feel free to call me Kazuki. I'm ......, too.

"Usato is fine."

There are a lot of guys like Ken at school.

But I never thought I'd be called by the most handsome guy in school as a friend... I'm going to get a lot of attention from his fan girls tomorrow.

"Then may I call you Usato-kun too?"

"I don't mind, okay?"

I was so happy inside, I could die to be called by the most beautiful girl in school.

Well, I thought today would be a bad day, but it turned out to be the opposite. I can't believe I get to be friends with the most popular girl in school. It doesn't happen often.

Rain, it's great, I wish it would rain more.

I was the one who was so upset by the rain.

Kazuki was happy to have made friends with me, and he was a little excited when he invited me to go home with him.

For a moment, I felt like my heart was being grabbed by this guy, but I was just happy to have more male friends. I felt self-loathing for having doubted her, and apologized inwardly.

Inugami-senpai did not object to my going home with him, so I decided to accompany him.

"Are you thinking about your future career?

"No, I'm only a sophomore.

"Senpai, you asked me that question too, didn't you?"

"Hmmm, I don't have that kind of thing, so I'm interested in other people's things."

Walking down a road in the pouring rain.

Perhaps it has been raining for a long time, but strangely there are no cars passing by. Well, I guess it's natural that people don't want to go outside on such a rainy day. .......

Listening to the sound of rainwater echoing around me, I feel calm.

Strangely, it makes me feel calm. In fact, these two people must be emitting negative ions, right?

In a relaxed mood, I ask Inukami-senpai a question that has been bothering me.

"Inugami-senpai, haven't you decided on a career path or something? Even though you're in your third year?"

"I haven't decided."

Isn't that pretty bad?"

It's a rude question, but I'll tell you what I honestly think. Inukami Senpai is a senior in high school and should have decided on a career path by now. .......

He laughed bitterly at my answer.

It's a smile that doesn't seem to fit the dignified student body president, Inukami-senpai.

"That's true, but... I can't find anything that I want to do. ...... Even when I do find a goal, I achieve it right away. Somehow, this is not the place for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm not where I'm supposed to be."

"You're a great senior, Usato."

"Indeed."

"Oh, that wasn't sarcasm or anything like that. ......?"

I know," he said, looking at Kazuki and smiling.

Inukami-senpai, whose cheeks were dyed vermillion, turned away angrily.

"By the way, are Kazuki and Inukami-senpai dating?"

I'm going to throw in something that suddenly caught my attention here.

My question made both of them look at me with a puzzled expression.

"What? No, it's not."

Yes, people tend to misunderstand us, but we're just together a lot because of our job in the student council.

Surprise, I thought they were dating too. .......

"You're kidding, right?"

Haha, why are you lying here?

Kazuki seems to be much friendlier than I had expected.

When I told him that I thought he was a bit difficult to approach, he laughed and said, "I don't want to hear that from you, Usato. ...... I don't get it.

Well, I usually only talk to certain friends. I guess I can't blame him for thinking so.

"...... what?"

"Hmm?"

The other two people stopped, looking at me suspiciously. I look behind me and see both of them holding their hands over their ears as if they were listening carefully.

Did they hear something? I didn't hear anything.

"What's wrong, you two?"

"...... Usato, did you hear something just now? "Goooong."

"Nothing for me. ......"

"I heard it too. Is that ...... the sound of bells?"

I think two other people heard it.

"The sound of bells," Inukami-senpai said, "but there is no building near here that rings bells. And there was no way I could hear the sound of the bells over the sound of the surrounding rain.

However, since two other people besides me actually heard the sound, I can hardly say that I heard it in my ears.

"Are you all right, sir?"

As I stepped closer, a geometric pattern appeared at our feet.

My somewhat game-brained mind reflexively described the pattern in words.

"A magic circle?"

Magic circle, what is a magic circle in this science-dominated world?

I look at my current situation with a head that has become too panicked to remain calm. A magic circle on the ground, pulsing and shining.

This may be a ...... development that will open a way to another world. Under such circumstances, I was a little bit excited, even though it was unbecoming of me.

"Kazuki, what do you think about another world?

"What are you talking about out of the blue, Usato? What's more, what the hell is this? Filming!"

That's right!

I'm sorry, but that's what happens when you say something incomprehensible at a time like this!

"Usato-kun, do other worlds have magic, monsters,......, and heroes?"

"I felt like I could get along with Inukami-senpai very well."

Inukami-senpai is from this side of the world!

He is definitely a reader of online novels and ranobooks.

In the meantime, the magic circle was shining so brightly that it dazzled me. I meditated involuntarily from the glare and suddenly lost consciousness with nausea and a floating sensation that hit me.

In my slumber, I felt the cold touch of the floor on my skin and woke up.

I pressed my head down and put my other hand on the floor, and found that it was not the concrete of the road where I had just been, but a smooth, shiny surface.

"......n......here,is"

I looked around me and saw a gleaming hall.

In front of me was a man sitting in a big chair and a few old men standing around him.

I try to grasp the situation with my head still in a fog from sleep.

Upon closer inspection, the man seated in the center of the throne-like area was wearing luxurious Western-style clothes and a crown on his head.

In addition, the old men in the back are dressed like the attendants you often see in RPGs.

Looking from the old men to the surroundings, we see a line of knight-like figures in gray armor with western swords at their waists.

"Are you all right? Usato!"

"Kazuki, where the hell am I?"

Kazuki, who was standing beside me, approached me anxiously.

Thank God, it looks like we haven't lost each other. If Kazuki is here, then Senpai should be here too.

I turned my eyes toward Kazuki, and saw Inukami-senpai sitting next to me, already awake.

"I don't know. But when I woke up, there were a lot of weird looking people around me. ......"

"I see. Are you all right, senpai?"

"Oh, don't worry. No one is hurt anywhere."

The crowned man who had been sitting so arrogantly in front of us looked at us, as if he had noticed that we were all awake.

I was somewhat overwhelmed by his majesty or the power of his eyes.

"It seems we are all awake."

He seems like a very important man, but what in the world does he want with us?

As I slowly try to comprehend my surroundings, Kazuki turns his head to the crowned man in alarm.

Who are you people?

"You! How dare you disrespect Master Lloyd?"

The attendant standing next to the king-like figure raises his voice angrily at Kazuki's irreverent manner.

The king (?) controls such an attendant with his hand. .

"It's all right. It's all right. If you are suddenly summoned to a place like this, such words will naturally come out of your mouth. Don't get too worked up about it, Sergio.

"But, but I understand."

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My vassals are very hard-headed.

"Yes, yes, ......."

"My name is Lloyd Brewgast Ringle. King of the Kingdom of Lingle.

The Kingdom of Lingle. I've never heard of it.

"You seem confused. I'll be brief. You have been summoned to the Kingdom of Lingle as heroes.

Brave men?

Just now, I heard a small voice next to me saying, "Kitta," but I believe it wasn't Inukami-senpai's voice.

Senpai, please don't ruin my cool-beauty image any more. I've always admired you.

Also, since Kazuki is doing the serious stuff, please pull your weight.

"Yes, a brave man. A few years ago, the king of demons, the Demon King, was resurrected. The resurrected Demon Lord leads an army and is steadily expanding his power. We, the people of Lingle Kingdom, have prepared ourselves for a desperate battle, but we are still no match for the power of the Demon King's army. We managed to repel the last attack, but we do not know what will happen next. ......Therefore, we have resorted to our last resort: ......summoning the heroes. The next time you are in a position to do this, you should be able to find a way to get the best out of your life.

Inukami-senpai, please don't suppress your excitement by clapping your feet next to me.

Your image is beginning to crumble. No, it's already crumbling. It's a pile of rubble.

What do you mean by "background"?

"We can't just summon people from other worlds without regard to who they are. That's why the magic circle is equipped with a technique to summon those with the necessary knowledge. Did you hear the bells ringing when you were summoned?"

"...... That's what that sound was. But that would mean that Usato is ......."

Kazuki looks at me. His gaze seemed to express some kind of apology.

The sound of a bell that only those who are educated can hear, which means that I am not educated if I cannot hear it.

So, that means ......?

"Am I involved?"

That's all I can think of.

...... I don't care at all, do you?　Even if I don't have any background, I have something to offer. I'm super competitive!

They look at me with puzzled eyes......Yes, I'm out of place, I know.

The fact that I'm involved in this is going to crack my heart open. King Lloyd noticed me struggling to hold my chest and meditated like he was serious.

Oh no, I'm going to be treated like a useless person and kicked out. .......

"You're involved in this,...... I'd like to send you home, but as it stands, summoning to another world is a one-way street,...... you can bring them here, but you can't send them back. The same goes for the other two people,......I'm really sorry,......I don't care if you curse me."

...... this king is actually a very nice guy, isn't he?

No, I can't say he's a good person because he summoned a brave man and brought an unrelated person with him.

"No, no..."

"You've got to be kidding me!"

Before I can finish, Kazuki, who is standing next to me, shouts angrily.

The hands of the soldiers standing on either side of the king reach for the swords at his waist.

Hey, hey, it's nice of you to be mad at us, but let's control it!

What about us then!　We have parents in our own world!　Even senpai, even Usato. ......"

"I'm sorry. But we are desperate too."

Kazuki clenches his fists and takes a step forward.

We've only been friends for a few hours, and what a nice guy he is. I'm too unpredictable to be serious. .......

"Calm down, Kazuki. I'm glad you're mad at me for my sake, but there's no point in getting violent here, is there?"

"Kuku............ if you say so, Usato."

I wonder what kind of power my statement has in Kazuki.

"I understand that it is selfish. I don't know if I can give you anything in return for forcing you into this world. But we will find the magic that will bring you home. In the meantime, please help us ......."

Mr. Lloyd!

Oh----While I've been paying attention to Kazuki, the story is getting more and more advanced!

I don't mean to be general, but he's a very good king! He's nothing like the kings in the novels I read!

"I am the king of a kingdom! I have a duty to protect my people! For that, I'll bow my head as low as I can!"

King Lloyd stood up on the spot, walked down to us, and bowed deeply to us. The king of a country bowing to a mere student.

In the midst of this bizarre scene, Kazuki, who had become calm, slumped his shoulders as if he had given up.

".........I am truly sorry for my rudeness earlier. Raise your head, my king. I, too, was too upset. ......Please tell me what you have to say. First things first."

"...... thank you for your warmth."

Kazuki bowed to King Lloyd and nodded his head as he looked at me and Inukami-senpai.

Inukami-senpai gave me a thumbs-up with the most innocent smile I had ever seen at school.

I think he is enjoying this situation the most.
