The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

The mistakes I have made up to this point in my life have been quite simple.

The first is that I was summoned to this world by my senpai and Kazuki, the heroes.

The second is that Rose found me and recruited me into the rescue squad.

Third, I wanted to help my senpai and Kazuki, who were fighting as heroes.

I am sure that if I think about the training Rose gave me and the powerful enemies I have faced in this world, I would say that they were mishaps and wrong choices.

Without them, I would have been able to live in a peaceful world for a long time, and I would not have suffered.

But I can assure you that I would do the same thing no matter how many times it would be repeated.

Because no matter how hard the path I have taken, the things I have met, learned, and gained here, I could never have gained in my former world.

So, I will continue to move forward.

Today...even on this day of the battle, when I don't know how things will turn out, I will run as fast as I can.

"Tongs, you!　I told you not to use the disinfectant so carelessly!　We've only got a limited amount of disinfectant!

I'm sorry!　I'll leave the rest to you!　Deputy Commander!

And that goblin!　Put on a normal face when you speak!　Don't scare the wounded!

I've always had this face!　You're a bastard!

I yell at the tough guys who give me a hateful smile and walk out of the tent.

I've been thinking about the past for a while, but I need to stop yelling and start doing something.

I don't want Gerna and the others to see me as a disappointment.

While I was treating the two knights lying next to each other with my hands on them, Ferrum and Bulrin jumped into the tent.

On Bulrin's back were four wounded knights secured with belts, while Ferm had one knight on his back and two on each arm.

Ferrum approached us, a little out of breath, and lowered the three knights who had been secured with dark magic.

"I've got them! ......!"

"Are you okay?　Are you hurt?

"I'm fine. ......"

He and Nair lower the four knights who are secured by the belt on Brullin's back, and he is concerned about Ferrum, who looks tired.

Bulrin seems to be totally fine and sniffs confidently with a "humph".

"Is it still hard to deal with people who used to be your friends?"

"...... It's not that. It's just annoying. ...... I'll get the next one."

Ferme says bluntly and runs outside.

He gives a concerned look to Bulrin and then turns his attention to treating the wounded.

No matter how many times he heals the wounded, their number shows no sign of decreasing.

It is no wonder that every time a healed knight returns to the front, another injured person is brought in to replace him or her... but once again, we are reminded of the intensity of this battle.

"Let me help you. Usato-kun."

"Mr. Uluru, ...... would be very helpful."

"It's times like this when we have to help each other."

With a grim expression on her face, Uluru-san comes up next to me while I am using healing magic.

She opens her mouth as she heals the wounded person that Ferrum and Bulrin brought earlier.

"I heard from the knight who just treated you that the battle is currently competitive," she says.

"So ...... is it?"

"But you know, they haven't shown up at the corps commander's level yet. There were several big snake monsters, but it seems that the demons haven't sent out their main force yet.

"......"

It's tough that there's more than one of those snakes, and I'm worried that we haven't seen a corps leader like Koga yet.

Maybe there is no Amira, a demon tribe with the power of a corps leader, and I can't predict how the war will turn out.

"And ...... I heard one thing that's been bothering me."

"What's bothering you?"

"One of your knights was wounded in an attack by one of our own. ......"

"Attacked by an ally?　Not like you got hit by the wrong blade or something?"

"No, the knight who told me about it said that his best friend since childhood attacked him as if he had changed."

"...... change?"

Manipulated?

It could be that he got confused on the battlefield, but the worst possibility is that there are demons or monsters who have magic to manipulate people.

If so, he/she is making us fight with each other.

As I was putting strength into my hands that naturally emit healing magic, I heard a loud, piercing yell coming from outside the tent --- from the battlefield.

As if in response, countless demons' screams are heard late in the day.

Hearing the voice, I quickly turned my attention to Rose, who had already finished healing the knight and was looking up at the sound of the voice.

"---Usato."

With that one word, I knew immediately what Rose was going to say.

I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do as a white uniformer---run the battlefield and save my allies.

I nodded to her and stood up, and Uluru-san looked up at me with anxious eyes.

"Don't die, Usato-kun ......."

I'll be back later."

After looking around at Olga, Sharun, Gerna and Kate, I start to follow Rose to the entrance of the tent.　

As I do so, Nair, who has transformed into an owl, jumps onto my shoulder from behind.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I brought you all the way out here."

"It's not too late for that. Besides, I am your messenger, so it would be unnatural for me not to follow you.

When I learned of Nair's true identity, I never thought we would have such a trusting relationship.

I had a bad impression of her because of her betrayal, her playing with my pure heart with charms and other things, and then her reviving the evil dragon.

But now, after my journey, I can trust him with my back ...... or rather with my shoulder.

I am glad you are here. Thank you."

Nair is in a good mood as he hears these words of heartfelt thanks.

As I leave the tent, straightening up the collar of my uniform, my eyes meet those of Mr. Alc, who is escorting me.

--He was a very strong, yet dependable man.

He was a very strong, yet dependable person. Thanks to his kindness and counsel as a familiar adult, I was able to overcome my anxiety-filled journey.

So, I can leave this place in peace and move on.

After exchanging silent glances and nodding, he and Rose head towards the entrance of the wall that leads to the battlefield.

"This is the second time, isn't it?"

"What?"

Rose's unexpected words made me tilt my head.

"I mean, going to the battlefield with you."

"So ....... As for me, I'd rather there had never been a battle.

"Ha, no doubt. But now that it's started, we have to do what we have to do.

Of course, I understand that.

Even if we do not want to fight, the Demon King's army will attack us without question.

There is no way we can just stand by and watch.

"Commander. I'll tell you now.

What?

If you see Nero Agens, don't even think about stabbing him in the back, okay?

What about ......?

Rose's stunned expression may be the first time I've ever seen it.

But I'm being extremely serious, so I don't make fun of her.

"No, I know that the leader of the group, who has talked so much about self-sacrifice to me, would never do such a thing, but I thought I'd just say something. I mean, I don't think in the slightest that the Commander will die.

"I wish I didn't have to say it rather than make excuses so quickly. ......"

I just wanted to say this: ......!　

I had a feeling that if I didn't say it out loud, Rose would actually take action.

It's not fair that she doesn't protect herself after she's been so hard on me.　

"......"

Rose smiles at me, and I'm ready to get decapitated at any moment.

But, predictably, I'm not shocked.

Instead, Rose, who was brushing her hair back, was smiling brightly.

"You idiot! Why should I give my life for a demon tribe you don't like?

"So, right!"

There's no need to risk your life. Just blow them up first.

It's an incredibly messed up thing to say, but when Rose says it, it's very convincing.

I guess my concerns were misplaced in the first place.

I am more relieved than ever by her reaction, and I turn around to face forward again.

"We're going our separate ways from here on out."

"Yes."

It was a completely different battlefield from before, but I was still calm.

Partly because it was my second battle, but most of all because I had my mentor, Rose, next to me.

"Don't you die, okay?　If you die..."

"I'm gonna knock you out, aren't I?"

You're a real cocky son of a b*tc*. You're so cocky.

After saying this, she puts her hand on the door of the wall.

I breathe in time with them, and my legs are ready to move at any moment.

Are you ready?

"Ready when you are."

"I'm ready, too."

After confirming my words with Nair, Rose opened the door with great force.

The moment I felt something like the wind on my skin, my feet propelled me forward and my body shot out like a bullet.

"Let's go!　Usato!"

"Yes!"

I see the horrific scene of the battlefield in my mind's eye.

Rose is already out of sight, already heading in a different direction from me. I looked once next to where Rose was, and then turned around to face forward again.

Behind me, a squad of archers and wizards kept checking the flying dragons attacking from the sky. The flying dragon I saw in person was about two times larger than a horse, and it had no front legs.

It seemed to be not so different from the flying dragon that we often hear about in fantasy stories, since it breathed fire like flames from the sky.

Checking the sky, we soon reach the front line.

The front line is a jumble of both friend and foe, and some apparently ferocious-looking demons are attacking the soldiers.

Not far away, you see a red wolf about to attack a warrior of the Kingdom of Nirvarna, who is stuck with an injured leg.

He seems to be somehow blocking the bite of the red wolf with the hilt of his spear in his hand, but a soldier of the demon king's army raises his weapon and approaches to put an end to him and his companions.

I grasp the situation at a glance and create a magic bullet in my palm.

"Glow Wolf!　Bringing such a dangerous demon here ......!"

"Nair, I leave the use of magic to your discretion!"

Yes!

I change my running direction and accelerate at once, and with my momentum, I kick the red wolf that was attacking the warrior - Glow Wolf - in the side with a binding spell and blow it away.

It was a big wolf, nearly two meters in height when seen up close, but perhaps it couldn't withstand the unexpected blow, and it fainted.

After confirming this, I fire a healing magic bullet at the injured Nirvarna warrior's leg, healing it to the point where he can move.

"Hey, you are ......"

Can you move?

"!?　I'm healed ......!　How long have you been ......"

A Nirvarna warrior and his companions are surprised that the pain in his leg has subsided.

One of the demon soldiers saw this and pointed at me, extremely upset.

It's the healing wizard in white!　You two, get rid of them before they heal you!

At the feet of the demon soldiers, there were still alive Nirvarna warriors lying on the ground.

Are they trying to kill those who are still breathing in order to countermeasure against us lifeguards ......!

Not so fast!

"Well, let's use our magic!　Get rid of them as fast as you can!"

I deployed my right hand and slammed my fist into the jaw of the closest demon soldier, while using the basket hand to knock down the magic coming at me to protect the warriors behind me.

He then grabs the other two in the face with his hands, which are imbued with a binding spell, and restrains them from moving.

"--What?"

One of the demon soldiers let out a stunned voice.

Without looking at the three soldiers who have fallen to their knees, he slams his palm into the gut of the soldier next to him.

"Holy shit!"

"......"

"Hiccup!"

I shifted my target to a soldier near the wounded warriors and held my spear as if frightened - but the response was too slow for me.

I close the distance in a single breath, grab the tip and handle of the spear with both hands, and throw it sideways with all my might.

With a cry of grief at my back, I set about treating the wounded warrior.

"Okay, let's get him out of here... mmm?"

As I try to hold them up, I notice an arrow flying toward my forehead.

I quickly grab it and let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh no, an arrow!"

"I don't think dangerous is usually enough. ......"

I stared in the direction from which the arrow flew, and saw the demon who had first shouted to attack me drop the bow and arrow from his hand with a look of disbelief on his face.

"You're not human ......?

"......"

"No, don't come here!　Oh, my God!

Why does he react like he does when he encounters a monster in a horror movie?

For a moment, he wonders this question, and then he uses his sword to knock the demon out of his consciousness.

After that, he quickly heals the fallen warriors and goes to another place, asking the black-clad man to take care of them.

--The amount of magic used is minimal.

--His physical strength is perfectly fine.

--I still have enough energy.

Then, as long as I live...

Look out!　Healing magic bullet!

Ow!

Ow!

The knight of Calm Helio, whose arm has been slashed and is about to be speared by a soldier of the Demon Lord's army, is hit by a healing magic bullet.

The impact of the healing magic bullet bounces him to the side, and Nair is startled to see that the spear that was about to pierce his torso has been dislodged.

"Was that a technique to be used like that!"

It saves and heals the wounded at the same time.

That is the true use of the healing magic bullet ......!　In fact, you could say that the way it has been used up until now has been wrong. ......!

He strikes a stunned soldier with a spear with the bottom of his palm, and reaches out a hand to a fallen knight and stands him up, drawing the hostility of the soldiers in the Demon Lord's army toward him.

Good job, ......!　I clenched my fist hard and stepped hard on the ground to save the life in front of me.
