The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Inukami-senpai and Kazuki were lying on the ground, and a knight in black armor was trying to stop them. My mind went blank as I caught a glimpse of a scene that resembled that scene.

"I didn't make it ......!　No, I made it!

After I beat the black knight to death, I immediately approach Inukami-senpai and Kazuki and cast a healing spell on them.

Inukami was pierced through the chest, and Kazuki was pierced through the abdomen by a sword like Inukami's. Inukami's chest was pierced through, and Kazuki's abdomen was pierced through by a sword like Inukami's.

Normally, they could have died from these serious wounds, but I can save them. ......!

"Umm, Sato-kun. I never thought I'd have such a hallucination at the verge of death. ......Ah, at least a hallucination...he called me Suzutan for the last time. ......"

"Inukami-senpai, you have more time than I thought. Then I'll give priority to Kazuki's treatment.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm pretty bad myself, I've got a hole in my chest."

How can you be so foolish in this situation?

But she's right. The injuries are bad enough.

Even if the wound is too serious ......... to be healed in time by ordinary magic, it will be healed in no time. First of all, we need to heal the unconscious Kazuki's wounds..,

"Usato, ...... behind you!"

"!"

The older man's voice made me reflexively grab the two of them and jump away from the scene.

As I activate healing magic on both arms, I look at where I was, and there is a black knight, breathing hard, slamming his sword down on the spot where I was, looking down at me. A chill runs down my spine at the threat to my life.

"Oh, no, thank you very much for ....... Senpai."

"Oh, no, don't worry, you've got me too. It's a perk."

You're a real blur, you know that?

She has recovered enough to speak, or at least to feel comfortable enough to speak, and she makes a crazy remark in spite of the battlefield.

"What the hell? ......"

"Hmm?"

The black knight in front of me mutters something while lowering his sword. As I change my gaze from Inukami-senpai, the black knight, who had been lying on his face, looks up.

"What the hell, you ......!"

"Your mask..."

The black armor I hit him with crumbles away, revealing only half of the black knight's true face. I can tell by her appearance and the silver hair that flits about in the area I can see that she is not a human girl.

I'm more interested in ...... why Senpai is so surprised.

I'm sorry, I don't understand why Inukami-senpai and the enemy are surprised.

"The black knight uses a tremendous amount of magic to return attacks with his magical armor. I and the knights who are lying here were hit by it ......."

"What the hell is that? Isn't that a foul ......?"

He looks at the fallen soldiers, wary of the black knight. All of them have wounds as if they had been cut by blades, so it seems that Inukami-senpai was not lying when he said that they had been knocked down by returning attacks.

They are still breathing, so we can save them.

As one would expect from a skilled knight, people in this world are truly amazing.

Inukami-senpai, please take care of Kazuki.

"Usato-kun?"

After most of the treatment, I put them down and looked at the black knight.

The fact that he is made of magic probably means that his lineage is and that he has the same rare ability as me, and that he is better suited for fighting than I am.

The black knight holds his red, swollen cheeks and turns his angry eyes on me.

"......... wow."

This is a different kind of bad person from Inukami-senpai.

Why, after the bear, the snake, and Rose, he's the next in danger.

But I can't be perplexed. To tell you the truth I don't want to fight but if we don't do something soon the knights' lives will be in danger.

He puts healing magic on his body and takes a step forward.

Usato-kun?

I'll hold him back.

If they attack back, it doesn't matter to me, because I can even heal my own injuries. I'll throw them far away or restrain them and incapacitate them.

No, no!　I don't care how you do it!

With the voice of my senpai at my back, I quickly close in on the black knight.

The black knight---no, she swings at me from the side with her huge arm transformed from her armor.

It is a monotonous attack, but I guess it has a function to repel attacks.

I might get hit by it, but I can't take the pain or the wound to some extent anyway, so I just flick it off with my right foot.

"Nnnn!"

I feel an uncomfortable sensation on the sole of my foot, and pop my arm. The pain is not ...... a dud, huh?

"What?

Why are you so surprised that you attacked ......?

But there's no pain. It's not like he's out of magic ......, but maybe he's not using it right now. That's an opportunity, though.

He spins around and swings his right fist at the black knight. He thinks he's being defended, but his left fist is the real target!

"Gah!"

"...... that?"

He took a right fist without even defending himself.

Maybe he's not that strong?

No, maybe this is another one of his tricks. As long as I'm attacking him, he can't do any damage. I'll pull him out of this place at once.

I grab the black knight by the collar and try to throw him in the right direction, but the hard feel of the armor in my hand disappears. When you look at your hand, you see that a sludgy black liquid is spilling out of your hand. What is this armor? I don't understand it at all.

"Ugh ...... you incomprehensible bastard!"

"Oh, my God."

I find that another arm is right in front of me, so I jump away from the spot to Inukami-senpai's side. No grabbing, so it's impossible to throw him away from the spot.

Then we have no choice but to stop him.

"Inukami-senpai, do you have anything to tie him up with?

"There is no such thing here ......... but, Usato-kun---"

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not into that kind of thing."

"Let me finish: ....... But why did you say that ......?"

"If you don't have a ......, I guess that's okay."

He takes off his lifeguard uniform and holds the collar with his left hand.

His eyes are fixed on the black knight, who is mumbling something to himself as he turns his head.

"I'm sorry, Commander.

He takes a big step forward, feeling the coat with his left hand as he mutters a few words. As I run toward him, holding the coat, the black knight transforms his armor into a needle and thrusts it toward me.

"Die!"

He told me to die, and I did!

I catch the needle with my palm in front of my face.

Blood spurts from the wound, but he grits his teeth, holds on, and pulls the needle toward him with all his might.

"What?

The black knight is knocked down, but he still glares at you, draws his sword, and swings it at you from an unsteady position.

"Watch out!

He dodges the sword thrust at his face by leaning his upper body to the side, and strikes his elbow at the empty left side of his body.

It's a blow that won't impede my action even if it's returned, but I don't think it's that effective....

"Ugh......!"

The black knight takes a step backward as if he were dizzy.

Is this working? ...... don't know if this guy is strong or weak.

No time to think about it, even if it feels so weak now, it is in fact a monster that has overpowered Inukami-senpai and Kazuki. We'll push him off before he recovers.

He slams the coat of his left hand down on the black knight from above, grabs both cuffs of the coat, and binds the black knight's body tightly so that it is wrapped around him.

"Got him!

Now he is neutralized. If the attack doesn't work, just catch him!

He tells Inukami-senpai that the black knight is safe as he shows her the black knight wrapped in the coat with only his face showing.

But Inukami-senpai is frozen, her eyes darting around.

"What?　Usato-kun, are you all right?

"No, not really. ...... But we have to fix these people as soon as possible!"

I'm not sure what Inukami-senpai's question means, but the important thing is to heal the seriously wounded soldiers.　The black knight on my shoulder is a little bit in the way, but I can't let him go now, so I'll heal the knights with him on my shoulder.

"d*mn! Get off me! You son of a b*tc*!

I really wish you'd stop fussing over my shoulder, but I'll bear with it for now.

It's a bad idea to give the knight your coat of arms and go off to war. If you are not careful, he may not recognize you as Rose's subordinate.

What have you done?

"What did you do ......"

"They don't usually give them back! Why not! It's this easy ......."

He is delirious.

Apparently, Inukami-senpai was surprised that I was fighting this guy like a normal person. Moreover, I just noticed that this girl is not affected by my magic.

I don't know why, but I guess it has something to do with it. ...... maybe.

"I'm not going to answer you."

"Gosh ......."

No, the truth is that we don't know the reason or anything.

But I can tell you one thing: I was just attacking ...... Rose as he told me to.
