The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Fighting is fun.

It fills my heart.

Oh, it's so inappropriate...... friends, soldiers, kingdoms are fighting together and I am standing on the battlefield with the abnormal thought of enjoying the situation.

But I don't kill my enemies because I still have a sense of humanity,...... or simply because I went out to the battlefield with no good preparation.

It is also true that I have an aversion to the act of killing. We are fighting with the same "morals" as in the original world.

It is laughable that I, who do not want to go back to my world, am still bound by "common sense" that is totally different from this world. ...... It is really, really laughable. You may look pretty on the outside, but on the inside you are just ugly, dirty and cunning...... like a stuffed animal with mud inside.......

"......... ha."

>

In the middle of the fight --- a soldier of the demon king's army thrusts a fork-like stick-shaped spear toward us.

If it hits you, it will hurt, if it hits you, it will hurt you, if it hits you, you might die. The threat, filled with such a murderous intent that I could tell at a glance, was thrusting toward my heart.

Death is in the air. But that doesn't stop me. No, I can't even stop.

"Ha ha ha ........."

<

Twisting and turning, I dodge the spears and place my hand on the enemy soldier's armored abdomen.

I use my sword only for defense, because I don't have the strength to cut through the armor without the physical strength of Sigurth.

Therefore, my attack is inevitably a magic attack.

And conveniently, my magic is , which is very effective against living creatures.

"Huh!

>

But in using such a useful "tool" as magic, I have the greatest disregard for life.

I am neither prepared to kill nor to be killed, and I am standing on the battlefield with no resolve. ...... It is no wonder that I call this a disregard for life.

Kazuki is going into battle with determination.

He is standing on his feet, facing his weakness and enduring his fear.

Usato-kun is walking on a path completely opposite to mine.

...... No, in the big picture, he is just like me. He is neither ready to kill nor to be killed, that much is the same. But other than that, we are completely different. He is honest and competitive, though he seems to be somewhat apathetic. His indifferent attitude toward me is probably based on some understanding of my feelings.

"Ah, Usato-kun ........."

I'm lost in thought. This world is wonderful - even if people call me a psycho, I enjoy the world I live in now, full of new encounters, unknowns, hopes, and the impossible.

That's why I have to survive in this battlefield.

Next.

We look at the fallen enemy soldiers and look for the next enemy.

Before I knew it, there were no more enemies around me. They are looking at me warily.

I hope this will dissuade them, but...

"Kazuki-kun ......"

He was fighting.

Swinging his sword, he cut through the enemy. There was something devilish in his appearance, but ...... I could feel more passion from him.

His magic is not a convenient ability like mine.

Light magic---magic against demons that can cripple them with a single blow. In this war, his ability would be quite advantageous. But for Kazuki, it would be a burden.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh..."

The fact that they can disable a fighter without question means that they can't take it easy on him.

If the opponent had not been a demon, he would have still had room to go easy on him.

If he had been a "crazy person" like me, I would have been able to take it easy on him and make him unable to fight.

If he attacked me with the intent to kill, the one who was attacked would have responded with the appropriate hostility and intent to kill.

I run up to Kazuki-kun, keeping an eye on my surroundings, and attack one of the demons he was dealing with with an electric shock, disabling him from fighting.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes,...... but it's hard. Mentally.

"You can back off if you want."

"Don't worry about it. I can still ...... do it."

This is a waste of time.

He's stubborn beyond belief. He is prone to self-loathing.

But that is both his weakness and his strength. Being able to understand what's wrong with you is not something you can do very often.

"Okay, but if it gets too tight, you can leave."

"......"

After saying this to him, he draws his sword and runs toward the enemy soldiers.

Kazuki runs after me.

It seems that the battle is not over yet.

I wonder how many wounded I have already treated since the start of the battle.

As I get used to the smell of blood, Rose, who has healed the wounds of the soldiers she has taken on, mutters something to me as she heals the wounded soldiers who are being replaced in a hurry.

"I guess it's time to go to ......."

Starting with her words, Olga's expression tightened.

"Are you going? ...... Mr. Rose."

"You idiot, call me Commander here, Olga."

A few seconds after I heard Rose's words, I understood on my own.

Ah, I have to go to the battlefield now, too.

I have enough magic power, and I feel no physical discomfort.

The white uniform I was given is still in good condition. This is the proof of my responsibility now. And my pride.

What do you think, Usato? Are you ready for this?

Suddenly, the wave of wounded is interrupted.

In the middle of it all, Rose asks me with her usual ferocious smile.

It's not a question I ask lightly, it's a test---I don't need her to tell me why at a time like this. I intuitively understand that now is the only time I can answer this question.

"Of course. I was trained to be your right hand man.

"Yeah, well, ...... you're that kind of guy. Then you have nothing to worry about.

"You're worried about me? I'm surprised."

"You ...... are not talking less. ...... Well. Olga, Uluru, you're in charge here. If the enemy comes here you'll be the first to run. I don't have to tell you why.

The most important thing for the rear of the ship.

If you encounter the enemy, be the first to flee.

Aside from Rose and me, the two of you are not physically strong, so if you find yourself in a dangerous situation, you should run away as soon as possible.

"I understand. Don't worry about us. Help others as much as you want.

"Please don't get hurt."

"Oh."

Rose turns her back to Olga and Uluru and waves lightly.

It's a very simple gesture, but somehow I think it's her way of expressing her intentions. It's not very honest of her, though I don't have the personality to say so.

"Well, Olga-san, Uluru-san. I'll do my best to make sure this is not the last time I see you.

"Take care ......"

"If you're in danger, run away, Usato. ...... and come back safely."

Thank you, Ms. Olga, Mr. Uluru.

Turning away from them, I leave the tent to follow Rose, who has gone on ahead of me.

"Come on, let's get going!"

Unexpectedly, Rose was waiting outside the tent.

I silently follow her, arms folded and looking very grumpy.

As we leave the tent, we receive a pep talk from the guard ...... Aruk, and after hearing from the soldiers about the current war situation, we leave the tent.

I walk one step behind Rose, suppressing my racing heartbeat.

It is only a short distance to the place where the battle is taking place, and I can say that this time is my last rest.

As I walk, feeling the sweat slowly seeping into my forehead, Rose, who is walking in front of me, glances at me with one eye and speaks to me.

".........I'll give you one last piece of advice before you go out into the battlefield."

"Yes?　Advai......s?"

"I was talking about you anyway. You can't hurt someone in human form, can you?"

"No, it's ...... my job to help people."

"You'd have to be a very stupid idiot if you said the same thing when cornered."

...... No, I didn't even think of that, let alone hurt it. I was thinking that if I was attacked, I could heal quickly and just focus on avoiding it. .......

"Well, I've got some great advice for you, you idiot. ...... No, I'm going to teach you a trick, you hear me? I'm only gonna say this once."

"......... yes."

"It's-- --------"

from the mouth of Rose.

The technique was too violent, too savage, too crude, too unprecedented ---- to know what it wanted to do.

It was pointless to use it, and even if it worked, it would probably knock him out.

But the "technique" was a description of the wrong use of healing magic.

But the wrong use was ----

"Isn't this perfect for me?"

"Well, that's good to know."

"Don't tell me you've been thinking about it for me or something?"

"......, there's no way that's possible."

"Thank you very much."

"......... oh."

Rabbits are timid.

That's why I don't use this technique, and even if I did, it would be in a way harmless to the other party.

Rose turns around, satisfied with my answer.

The battlefield is just a stone's throw away.

The sounds of animal-like voices and human voices echo through the air, and a cloud of dust dances in the air.

I am not afraid of the battlefield in the presence of this reliable man.

"Come on, Usato!"

Yes, Commander!

Me and Rose run.

I take one look at Rose, who runs silently in a different direction from me, and we fly at once to the front line of the battlefield. Rose covers a different place from me.

The smell of blood, blood, blood. I'm used to it. I won't stand still for this! Ignore the incoming Demon Army soldiers, and leave all the wounded inside to my trusted companions.

Straight ahead, straight ahead, straight ahead.

"This is the battlefield ......"

Keep a strong heart.

Never be swallowed up.

The front line was literally all-out warfare. Is this what a bloodbath is like?

It was a battle so fierce that there was no time to even recover.

But in the midst of it all, I knew what I had to do. Immediately I see two seriously wounded people in my vision. I run with all the strength I can muster in my legs.

My dynamic vision has been trained in the forest.

My physical strength was trained in the training.

I learned to run among people in the city.

Fatigue is solved by magic.

Healing magic is at its best today.

I run through the crowded crowd of people and demons and take the shortest route to the first injured person and carry him up.

"What?　You're the one with the healing magic!

"......"

A nearby demon tribe is swinging an axe at us, but it is too late. The fear and intimidation are less than that of the snake, but it's bearable.

Fighting is not my fight. My fight is to help others.

With one person in my arms, I dodge and ignore the demon who attacks me, and reach the next injured person without difficulty, carrying him with my other arm.

"Uu...... you?"

He's conscious. A wound like this will heal in a few seconds.

The other has already finished treating his wounds, but he too is conscious. He is also conscious.

The other one has already been treated. Please do not move.

He moves one step away from the front line and dismounts the two men carrying him.

They looked at me with surprised faces as I rubbed their wounded places, but I didn't have time to worry about them.

But this is not the time to worry about it. I have to get back soon.

"I'm fine now. If you still have any physical problems, please move back from the front line.

With these words, I go back to the front line.

I will not let anyone within my reach die.

Also on the front lines, at the same time as Usato's departure.

Inukami and Kazuki were facing a formidable enemy.

<

A knight in black armor that moves and undulates like a living creature. The unnatural sheen of his armor gives the viewer an intense sense of discomfort and fear.

It is no ordinary armor.

In fact, he (?) There are soldiers of the Royal Army lying around him as well, all of whom are bleeding profusely.

"Looks like we're going to have to deal with this guy. ......"

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

He's a real badass, but I'll take him down here.
