The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Hisago was like a father to me.

He saved me when I was a child from being killed as a decoy against the magical beasts that invaded the land of humans, and gave me the name Kannagi.

I owe him for saving my life.

I am also indebted to him for giving me a name, since I had no name.

But for that, I seriously regret that you sealed it for me so unexpectedly.

It is also my fault for not realizing that Hisago had been driven to that point.

But I think he should have at least asked me for my consent.

I haven't said goodbye to my sister, and I haven't even met the man she is going to marry.

In addition, I had to pass hundreds of years and wake up in this time period at the age of 18 years old.

......No, to be honest, I have no complaints about our meeting in this time period, but I still have nothing but resentment toward Hisago.

"......The forests and such haven't changed."

We crossed the other side of the river from Mialak and proceeded into the realm of the beastmen.

Riding the horse that had been brought to the other side of the river, I was riding along the mountain road toward Hinomoto, the land of the beastmen.

"I knew it!" I thought to myself, "I miss this place so much!

Amako, who was also riding a horse, asked me.

Rinka was standing next to me, so I guessed that the two friends were talking amicably with each other.

"The view of the forest. I know some of the scenery of Hinomoto itself, since I saw it from Usato's cage.

"That reminds me. It's a little strange to think that ...... all that fuss was within a year of each other."

"If you put it that way, isn't it just like the series of disturbances you and Usato were involved in?"

"Yes."

Just looking at it from the small sword and basket hand is quite a feat.

The battle against the evil dragon that awakened in the modern age.

The curse of Samaritan.

Kalon, awakened by the dragon's power, has gone berserk.

The rebellion of Jinya, the chief of Hinomoto.

At least, we are caught up in all this commotion as we travel.

"You know, Amakoh..."

"Hmm?　What is it?　Linka."

"Usato, was he that powerful from the start, like a beast?"

"...... ah."

Amako looks a little uncomfortable.

To tell you the truth, I was wondering about that part too.

I know that he was recruited into the rescue team right after he was called to this world, but I don't know what he did after that.

"I don't know much about when Usato joined the rescue team. But I do remember that it was very unusual for someone to join there, so it was a big topic of conversation in the city.

"That was rare."

Well, that's a bad group of people with that much practice. .......

In my opinion, the black suits are quite physically strong.

"At first Usato said he was a normal person, but from the way Rose-san was into it, I think he was probably not normal."

"I'm going to say it categorically - ......"

"Because it's Usato."

It's funny how those words convinced me.

It seems that my mental health has been seriously compromised since I got caught up in the schemes of the outlandish sorcerer of Samaritan, whom I was going to lead to the end of the line.

The sorcerer got what he deserved, just as hisago said.

"The first time we consciously saw each other was probably when I was ...... tending to the store. I think it was before Mr. Rose ...... Usato's boss threw me into the forest where magical beasts and such live."

"Wait a minute, isn't it funny ......!!!"

"...... Linka, did I say something funny?"

"You're numb, amako!"

Hayate and the guards, who had been casually listening, turned around in surprise.

"I heard it's a fond memory for you, Usato.

"You miss it!　You don't have nightmares or something?

"It was also the first time I met Bulrin. He was told not to come back until the grand grizzly was defeated, and he was alone in the forest for about ten days.

"What's the lifeguard organization for? ......"

I have the impression from what I've heard so far that the organization tries everything it needs to do in case of emergency.

They are trained to put themselves in extreme situations to be able to cope with any contingency that may arise, and they make the most of it in the real world.

It is a fierce training policy that can be said to have healing magic.

"I think that Usato's technique started to go wrong after he started throwing healing magic. Before that, there was the healing punch,...... but that was a technique that Rose taught him."

"Healing magic doesn't sound like a big deal when you hear it, but when Usato throws it at you, it's really scary. In fact, it was very scary.

"That was Rinka's own fault for suddenly shooting an arrow at me."

"Ugugu ......"

As we exchange small talk, we soon reach the deep forest that surrounds Hinomoto.

We finally arrive at Hinomoto, pulling our horses and making our way through the trees where the sun's rays do not penetrate.

Once in the city, we split off from Hayate and the others, and Amako and I head for her house in the city to meet her mother.

"Is it okay?　You're interrupting my home."

"Yes. I heard it's a pretty big place, and I thought it would be good for Kannagi to know some people."

"I guess you're right. Thanks.

"Also, I'm kind of curious to see how my mom will react."

"Yeah."

You're wondering what it's all about, aren't you? .......

Sure, Amako and I may look like sisters at first glance.

With some dismay, I turn my eyes once again to the streets of Hinomoto.

Wooden houses and nature combine to create a tranquil scene.

"I knew that ......, but it's so different from the time I was there."

"Well, it's been hundreds of years."

"But this view is what the beasts were looking for back then. ......"

A place free from strife and malice.

Hinomoto is the realm of the beastmen alone, untouched by man.

...... now that I think about it, I am glad that Jinya's attempt to take advantage of Amako and her mother failed.

"I'm here."

"......It's a pretty big house. ......"

We arrived at a large wooden building.

It seems to be heavily guarded, with soldiers on guard, perhaps because I am one of the few wizards who can foretell the future.

"Welcome home, Amako-sama, Hayate-sama has told me about you.

I'm home. Is ...... mom inside?"

Yes. She just returned to the house a few minutes ago. ......

A female soldier with a spear nodded at Amaco's words.

Amako's expression seems to be a little sad.

"My mother got you into trouble again, didn't she? ......"

"You said you were celebrating Amako-sama's return today, and you were so excited that you were going to cook alone. ...... Before you knew it, you wandered off to buy ingredients alone. ......"

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

"No, it happens all the time."

......You really are an odd one, Mr. Kanoko.

To tell the truth, she is just like my sister in personality and carelessness, and she is a descendant of my sister. .......

Let's go. Kannagi."

"Yeah. ......"

I take off my shoes and enter the house.

A woman comes from the back of the house with a clattering sound, as if she has heard our arrival.

She is Kanoko-san, a person with waist-length blond hair and the same fox ears and tail as Amako and myself.

"Welcome back. Amako."

"Hey, I'm home, Mom."

She smiles happily with a gentle smile on her face and hugs Amako with her arms outstretched wide.

While I was smiling at Amako, who looked embarrassed but not too full of joy, Kanoko-san, who was still holding Amako in her arms, turned her gaze to me.

"Welcome back. You've grown up, Amako."

"Mom, I'm still in your arms."

"...... Oh?"

"No, no, no, no, no."

Isn't he a little too fast-paced than expected ......?

Amako is left to her own devices, and Mr. Kanoko puts his hand on her cheek in surprise.

"Are you Amako's child?"

"He's older than me."

"...... could it be my other daughter?　I don't remember. ......"

"Of course not, because that's not true."

"Don't tell me she ...... didn't tell you she had an illegitimate child ......!"

"Please don't bring my dad into this, he's in heaven. ......

I think you're a natural. ......!

The fact that the speculation that he keeps spouting one after another is not even a hint is just too much.

"Oh, so they're sisters. Amako must have wanted a big sister for a long time."

"......Soudane"

"Amakowo!　Don't give up trying to explain!"

If I don't explain before things get any more complicated, I'm going to be in big trouble!

Amako was getting more and more impatient with me, and I hurried to explain the situation to Mr. Kanoko.

"Actually, sir... ......"

He desperately tried to explain with gestures and hand gestures.

That I am the sister of Amako and Kanoko's ancestor who was sealed hundreds of years ago.

After I was sealed, Usato and the others rescued me, and I am here today.

I asked her questions so that she would understand what I was trying to tell her,

"So, from today on, Kannagi-chan is my daughter, is that right?"

For some reason, I was made Kanoko's daughter.

...... No, I don't even have to think about it!

"If we share the same bloodline, we're like relatives, we're like family now, aren't we?"

"Oh, no, I mean, you know,......

I haven't had parents for as long as I can remember, so I'm a bit embarrassed by Kanoko's response, which is so unexpected.

What the hell?　What is this feeling of confusion and joy?

"Kannagi, you should give up."

"Oh, Amako is fine ......?"

"She's my mother. And I think it would be better for you to stay here with me and your mother.

That's true, but...

Even though I am weakened, it is better to make my position here since I am also a precognition magician.

"I think we have a deal. I'm looking forward to working with you. Kannagi!"

"......, thank you."

I bow, too, while sitting on my knees.

In no time at all, you've turned me into your daughter. .......

"Well then, I guess it's time for dinner. I had a premonition that Amako would be back with Kannagi-chan, so I made a lot of food for her.

When I hear the word "rice," I get excited.

As I stand up, feeling ashamed of this, I suddenly feel my consciousness being pulled back to the back of my mind.

Sometimes, I feel as if another me is controlling my body.

What on earth are you doing?　I wondered without any alarm, and then the other me stepped forward and embraced Canoko.

"What?"

"~~~?

What is the other me doing?

What's more, she's doing something terrible, like bringing her consciousness back to me after hugging me!

"Oh, dear."

"Kannagi, were you that hungry for family love ......?"

While Amako looked at me like I was some poor soul, Kanoko-san smiled at my sudden embrace and stroked my hair.

"Oh, ah, um, this is ......."

"Don't be shy. We are family now."

"~~......!!!"

I could no longer bear the loving look in her eyes, and I fell down on the tatami mats with a mighty thud.

Wow, it's me inside me!　Prepare yourself for later!
