The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Two days after the demon attack, another meeting took place.

This time, Lady Falga and the Demon King had to prepare for the unexpected by preparing all possible defenses through magic before the meeting.

I was also assigned as a guard, but I was assigned to watch the entrances and exits outside rather than inside the hall.

.

Senpai and Kazuki are inside guards.

I'm the outside guard, and I'm standing in front of the door like a guard, but there's no sign of demons attacking me like the other day.

"Are you sure you can stay here, Mr. Nagi?

I ask Nagi-san, who is leaning her back against the wall next to me.

She turns her head to look at me, trying to make up for her surprise.

She turns to me, trying to compensate. My part in this is over the other day. Besides, Falga-sama assured me that the devil won't come, so I don't think there's anything to worry about.

"Well, if Lapdo is like that, the demons are too scared to come. ......"

"I think one of the reasons is because you're here, too. Oh, no, it's nothing. ......

From the devil's point of view, I'm the only one who can sense his deception.

It's convenient for me.

<

He chuckles as he listens to the voices of Amaco, Nair, and Ferrum, all of whom have been assimilated into the group.

Ferrum is saying some very rude things, but I forgive him with a generous heart.

What are you going to do now?

"What are you going to do now?　Well, your position does not allow you to move freely, so for the time being, I guess you will wait for orders from your superiors.

"I see. ......"

"What would you do, Mr. Nagi?"

I asked her and she crossed her arms in distress.

"I guess so. I'm going to head to the beastmen's country for the time being. After that I haven't really thought about it. I thought about traveling, but ...... I've already seen what I want to see with you guys."

"As a view from the cage?"

Exactly.

The consciousness that has been awakened since the moment the sword was pulled out of the evil dragon's heart.

To be precise, it is the other Nagi-san who has Nagi-san's memories, but it does not make much difference in the present situation where two personalities are contained in one body.

"So, you know, I feel like I've done almost everything I wanted to do after seeing the streets of the Lingle Kingdom with my own eyes."

Have you finished what you wanted to do: .......

Hmmm...then you just have to find something new to do, but it's not that easy...

"...... I can't help you with that?"

"My help?"

Yes. Yes. I know it's a lot of work and I want to help you.

.......

I'm glad you offered.

However, considering Nagi's situation, I am very sorry to involve her in what I have to do and tie her down.

"You don't have to go out of your way to help me. ...... Nagi, you can live your own life, can't you?"

"No, no. It's not something I was forced to choose, but I have a good reason.

Reason?

Nagi-san, smiling and shaking his head, continues to speak.

My life has been a series of battles. Before I was sealed, I killed many demons and not a few people. ......

"Mr. Nagi ......"

"I wanted to live a life like you ......, no, like a lifeguard, to be able to help someone or save someone's life."

I never thought I had such a thought. ......!

There was no way I could say anything if he told me so much. ......!

I turned to Nagi, put my hands on her shoulders and turned to her.

"I understand. ......!

"What, what, what?　What ......?

A heart that wants to help others.

That's all you need.

Besides, I know how strong her heart is. ......!

Then..,

"Then today you are a lifeguard. ......!"

"No, no, no, no!"

Nagi-san panics at my words.

You can refuse if you don't want to, but only if it's okay with you.

<<>

The mascots on the inside may be rude, but Nagi-san has more than enough qualities to be a lifeguard, just like Nack.

"No problem!　Me? !"

"Yes, of course. ......!　I'm sure the Commander will not object. ......!

<<<<<>>>>>

I nodded my head, and Nagi-san looked somewhat moved.

This exchange reminds me of the exchange I had with Nack in Luxvis. ......!

<<>

The lifeguard is also excellent in terms of making a place for Nagi-san.

They are going to Hinomoto as of now, but things may be different for Mr. Nagi now that hundreds of years have passed.

Oh, that's right. .......

What about the other Nagi?　Is there anything you want to do?

Then Nagi's hand is wrapped around my arm as if to entangle it.

She pulls me closer to her, and her strength is so strong that I can't shake her off easily.

Hmm?　Is it a joint technique?

After a moment of stunned look on her face, Nagi-san turns red and rushes away from me.

"Wow, I'm too bold inside me!

<>

It looks like the other Nagi did that earlier.

What was his intention?　Is that it?　Is it like they want to have a hand-to-hand combat or a contest of strength?

Don't tell me he is trying to continue the battle at the ruins. ......?

?

The second meeting ended without a hitch, and we returned to the inn with the Demon King.

The content of this meeting was the treatment of the demon tribe and how to deal with them.

According to the story of the Demon King, for the time being, personnel from the Kingdom of Lingle will be dispatched to the demon tribe to monitor them.

Then, they will investigate the temperament of the demon tribe, their way of life, and the causes that led to the poverty of the land.

While I am glad to hear that the treatment is not as bad as I had imagined, I am curious about who will be dispatched to the Lingle Kingdom.

I know that there are currently knights from the Lingle Kingdom in the demon king's territory, but they are only assigned to the territory, not to do anything other than watch over it.

So, I'm going to assign one of them to you.

"What about ......?"

I was told this in the room where I was summoned by the demon king, and he simply said such a thing to me.

Freezing for a moment, I pointed my finger at myself and tilted my head.

"Oh, it's me?"

"Lloyd, as a result of our discussion with Falga, there is no one better suited for the job than you, is there?"

What do you mean by "the right person"?

"Probably, the demon's next target is the demon king's territory.

"Oh, really?"

I'm just saying it's a strong possibility.

I see: .......

That makes sense.

"Another reason is that you can relate to the demons in a friendly manner. ...... Well, the image of the demon tribe is that of a demon."

"That's your fault. ......!!!"

"It's your fault, too, isn't it?　I only encouraged it.

Gu,gugg .......

I don't like being demonized ......!!!

Well, that part is fine if you can get rid of the image after you are dispatched.

However, if they are sent to the demon king's territory, they will be staying there for that period of time, right?

...... hmmm.

"In other words, it's a traveling rescue mission, isn't it?"

"What?　It's not like that. ...... No, you can do whatever you like there."

"Master Demon King, you're up to something, aren't you?"

"Huh, I don't know what you're talking about. ......"

So you're saying I could be a lifeguard?

I know I shouldn't think this way, but I'm looking forward to meeting Keira.

"You're in on the third meeting tomorrow, right?"

"Yes. I just have to practice my magic spinning, right?

That's right. Well, it's just a matter of me doing it.

The demon king moves magic from finger to finger at high speed with the best of intentions.

Well, I'm not surprised that he can do it normally, and I'm not surprised that he can detect demons in other ways.

"It would be more efficient for you to teach him than for me, the Demon King. You seem to be getting a lot of attention.

"Are you being sarcastic?"

No, I'm just trying to be funny.

The Demon King laughs at me as I make eye contact with him.

You're really smiling with amusement, you devil king. .......

Is this the end of the meeting?

"Yes. Later that evening, they will hold a banquet to celebrate the gathering of the delegates, but I will decline.

I remember Master Lloyd telling me he was going to do something like that.

If the Demon King were to join us, the air would be more than a little chilly.

Why don't you join us?

You're getting good at sarcasm, aren't you?

It doesn't seem to be working at all, though.

...... Well, it's a delegates' banquet, so I won't be attending.

Or rather, I don't want to attend when there are people who want to contact me.

You are forced to attend.

"Yeah. ......"

"You should at least learn the faces of the representatives of each kingdom for future reference, right?　You need to work on your social skills first."

"Huh. ......"

What he is saying is not wrong, but I wonder.

Worst case scenario, if I can get through this acting like Rose, no one will talk to me, yes.

"Oh, yeah. You can take Ciel with you."

"What, wait, Demon Lord, you're not listening!"

Ciel stopped making tea and looked surprised when he was suddenly asked to speak.

"I have to give a little reward to my excellent subordinates.

"Usato-san and the others are just crazy, but everyone around them is prejudiced!"

Ciel has a point.

I wonder if he is thinking about that.

He is the type of person who enjoys the reaction of people who don't dare to say anything. .......

"No one would have the guts to harm my men. I'll have Coga as a bodyguard."

"Please let it be Amira-sama!!!!　Mr. Coga is just fine and will be gone soon!"

Ciel laughs at Coga's low opinion of him.

If Amira-san is my escort, I don't have to be so uptight either. .......

"Well, it's not so bad to be on the losing end. I have enjoyed this meeting as much as you have. Looking forward to the next one, right?　Usato."

"You really are a ......!!!"

Now that the war is over, you can really do whatever you want.

It's much better than being wronged, but as for me, it makes me feel like I'm getting back at them.
