The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Nirvarna is characterized by a national culture that emphasizes "strength.

The father, his predecessors, and his predecessors before him have ruled the country according to this national culture.

Although the culture of Nirvarna is very different from that of other countries, it is this policy that has kept Nirvarna a nation.

"Father, this meeting. It has been fruitful."

"Yes. I've seen some interesting things."

I had returned to my own country and was on my way to the palace with my father, when I spoke to him as he was working with his subjects who had been ruling the country.

"If there was no land issue with the demon tribe, then I understand well that it was our side that was defeated.

"Yeah?　Is that it?"

Father nodded happily at my words.

"As it turns out, the Kingdom of Lingle made the best choice."

A meeting of the nations to discuss the future of the demon tribe.

Frankly speaking, for Nirvarna, discrimination against subhumans is a non-existent issue.

"I am so relieved that you have returned safely. Father."

When I entered the halls of the palace, I found a large man at work.

He was Rild, the first prince of the Kingdom of Nirvarna, and my brother whom I respected and admired.

He had been in charge of ruling the country during our father's absence, and he greeted us looking somewhat tired.

"Rildo. Thank you for your hard work while I was away.

"I'd like to refrain from ruling the country for the time ...... being."

What are you talking about?　If I die tomorrow, you will inherit the throne.

"Father, you're going to live another 50 years, aren't you?

The father responds to his father's light-hearted words, and the elder brother responds with sarcasm.

I feel a sense of relief at this scene, but I also throw my voice at my brother.

"Don't say such a thing. Who else but you would take the throne?

Ouka. I'll leave it to you.

"No. I'm better at moving than sitting. All I do is to be a pawn in my brother's game.

"He says all the right things in good shape: ......"

You sigh, your large, bear-like body slumped in a heap.

"So, did anything happen while I was gone?"

"No, not really. Well, the crop yields are up from last year ...... but Senri's back ......."

"Hmm... again. Who is it this time?"

"The winner of this season's fistfighting tournament, his name is Takeru. ......"

Oh, him.

He, the famous feline beastman of Nirvarna, has asked his sister for her hand in marriage. .......

The difference in race is not so much of a problem.

In fact, I was named after a beastman who was a friend of our father.

How did Senri find him?

She hit him right in the jaw, knocking him unconscious in an instant.

"You are too much of a monster, my sister. ......"

Father and I both let out a sigh.

When I think of my sister's battle record, as if she was born to fight, I feel uneasy about her future.

She is having a hard time finding a man who is stronger than she is, perhaps because she also wishes to choose a man who is stronger than she is.

"So, do you have any souvenirs to share with me?"

"Yes, of course. Let's talk over a cup of tea.

He sits down in his chair and tells his brother about the events that took place at the meeting.

Kazuki, a hero of the Kingdom of Lingle and our friend.

A being called the Devil.

The king of the demon tribe, the Demon King.

Usato of the Kingdom of Lingle.

"The Demon King is a man of great wisdom and arrogance. Even now that he is weakening, he is still a powerful man.

"I wish I could have met you, father, if you insist so highly."

My brother nodded happily.

In fact, the man who is called the Demon King was not an ordinary man, even from the atmosphere he wore.

Could it be said that he had an air of unknowing awe around him?　

Anyway, he was a terrifying person.

"Kazuki's friend, Usato. He was a more extraordinary young man than rumors had said.

"You mean the healing wizard who fought alongside the heroes against the Demon King?"

I nodded to my brother's words.

"It was just as Kazuki said. In addition, was he just as Hyde said?

"Yes, he also said that he met him at the meeting of the four kingdoms. I remember that he seemed to enjoy talking with him.

I had heard about a man named Usato Ken when he visited the Kingdom of Nirvarna to deliver a letter.

I had been paying attention to him because he was the peerless friend of the hero of light, the one who saved my life, and also because he was the disciple of Rose, a well-known member of the Lifeguard Corps.

In person, he seemed to be a gentle young man, very different from the rumors, but when he was put into battle, he was a completely different story.

"Well, I am impressed. It's hard to even put into words what he was fighting for.

Is that all you got?　Even your father?

But his strength lies in the physical and mental strength he has cultivated through extraordinary training. I was hoping that you would become Senri's son-in-law. ......

He chuckles at his father's disappointment.

Kazuki did not allow Senri to meet him because he did not think they were compatible in terms of personality.

Or, to be more precise, I should say that Kazuki had avoided an encounter with Senri with his god-like intuition.

"She turned me down."

"That's true. If she were there, she would be angry and tell you not to make up your mind, wouldn't she?

No, he wouldn't.

"Yes, your father is right."

It is more likely that he would have challenged Usato to a duel on the spur of the moment.

In a good way or a bad way, my sister has the senses of an animal. .......

"Well, I didn't know you'd say that much. ......"

"He's close to Senri's age, and he's more talented than Senri. She's a skilled healer. Even if we exclude his combat ability, he's someone I'd like to have.

He is also an excellent healing magician, as it was reported that he also uses lineage enhancement on the battlefield.

The fact that the training of healing wizards in Nirvarna had all ended in failure shows how rare he is.

"Yes, that's right. He gave me some advice on how to train healing wizards. ......"

Just as he was about to convey the advice of Usato, the healing wizard, to his brother, who was entrusted with some of the affairs of state, a woman appeared from the shadows of the pillars that lined the halls of the palace.

Senri, a woman with her mother's ash brown hair tied in a braid, steps out in front of us, looking somewhat pleased with herself.

"Senri, eavesdropping is not a very complimentary thing to do, is it?"

"Is it true what you just said?"

......"

Oh, no, they heard.

Hmm?　Is that not bad?　...... No, it's not a good idea.

Nirvarna shouldn't take any strong measures.

"Senri, calm down. This is what happened in Mialak, and he has refused to talk to us ......."

"Brother Ouka. What do you say ...... I am not that ignorant?"

Good, good. .......

It seems that you have a sense of reason.

So where is my good husband?

"Lildo, Ouka. My daughter seems to have lost her mind. ...... will take care of the rest.

Father?

Wait, father, don't run away!

It's too scary. It's like it's already decided.

We stop him from getting up and my brother and I try to persuade Senri to stay.

"Well, you're still 18, aren't you?　There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?

"I can't help but feel a sense of crisis at the fact that the only warrior who can beat me at 18 is Uncle Hyde.

"......"

"My heart was once shattered by the fact that he was married, though."

I couldn't say anything.

I mean, that was when you were only nine years old!

Father!

......

Where is he?

"In the Kingdom of Lingle, but ...... he'll be sent to the Demon Lord's domain soon, right?"

Then let's go to the Demon Lord's territory right now!

Wait!

My brother and I jumped on her and stopped her from going ahead at the same time.

But our opponent is a genuine fighter who has transformed all the qualities necessary for royalty, such as grace and manners, into military prowess, and even two men can't stop him.

"Brothers!　What are you doing touching a lady!

Don't pretend to be a lady just at a time like this!

Your language is the only decent thing about you!

My brother doesn't really mean it either, but I'm really trying to stop Senri.

If we don't do something, Senri will be on his way to the Demon King's territory!

What are you doing heading for the Demon King's territory on your own!　You are the second princess of the Kingdom of Nirvarna!　Father!　Stop it!

"......"

Huh?　Maybe it's a little bit of a good idea.　You look like you're having a hard time!

It may not be such a bad idea from your father's point of view, but please consider the impression you're making on the other side!

Then I'll give up my position as second princess right here and now!

Don't try to quit the royal family like a man!

What's stirring you up so much?

Fear for your future!

Don't tell me what's bothering you!

Before this anxiety, nothing can stand in my way!　I'm convinced, this is the very fork in the road ......!

Oh no. ......!

He has beaten up Nirvarna's warriors because of his strength, and even his own gender looks at him with pity because he's so strong.

"In general, Usa--"

"I don't need to tell you my name!　I know my destiny at first sight!　I will challenge you to a marriage duel, and the one who shows me that he can defeat me will be my husband!"

"You know what they say about not bringing the culture of Nirvarna outside!"

And that's just a bad street crime!

It's a ritual that they fear if they beat you, they will make you their husband!

d*mn, no. ......!

Senri tries to head out of the palace like a wild boar.

But then Hyde, the leader of the Nirvarna Warriors, arrives before her.

"Excuse me. I'm in the middle of something. ......?"

"Hyde!　Stop Senri!

He knows us ...... since we were kids, he'll do something about it. ......!

He looks at me, my brother, and Senri and tilts his head in wonder.

"Uncle Hyde ......?

"Oh, Senri?　How can I help you?"

"I'm on my way to the demon king's territory now!　Please don't disturb me!"

......

Seeing me and my brother trying to stop Senri, and my father meditating as if in thought, Hyde strokes his beard and turns his attention back to Senri.

"I guess you are trying to find your good man in the demon king's territory, aren't you?"

"Do you understand ......!"

Yes, of course.

You are indeed a quick learner. .......

Keep it up and stop Senri. ......!

"I was also present at the meeting as an escort, and the one who was escorting the Demon Lord seemed to be quite a powerful man."

"Even from your point of view?

From my point of view. A man called Korga, I believe. His physical strength, which he has trained to achieve despite the strength of his race of demons, is nothing short of magnificent.

"Oh ......!"

Senri's face lights up, and my brother and I stand up, exasperated.

He still has great strength. .......

Senri doesn't look tired, but I'm exhausted.

"Well then, let's get to the demon king's territory right away!

"But not now!"

Why?

Because we need to prepare for the journey.

I took a deep breath and looked over at Hyde, who was giving Senri a well-deserved rebuke.

"You may say you're fine, but those around you won't be so sure.

"But ......"

"I fully understand your impatience. But it is not your intention to cause problems between countries by your careless actions, is it?"

"...... Yes."

That's Hyde for you: .......

Probably only two people can convince my sister like this, my father or Hyde.

Hyde watches Senri calmly walk out of the hall and turns his body toward Father.

"I am sorry. I was out of line. ......"

"No, it's fine. I'm sorry about my daughter. Hyde.

No.

"It looked like he was going to head off on his own to the Demon Lord's territory. In that case, it would be better for us to contact the Kingdom of Lingle and ask them about it so we don't cause any more problems."

I never thought my sister might go to the demon king's territory. .......

I'm worried ...... about the Demon Lords encountering my sister .......

"The Kingdom of Lingle will not be troubled by the understanding of other countries. It is inevitable for us to know the current situation of the demon tribe."

"So soon?"

"Yes, I will send a message to Lloyd and see if we can't send some men from Nirvarna as well. ......But this is the first thing I'm going to do as soon as I get back. ......I can't say I'm very happy about it. ......"

Father mutters, sounding somewhat tired.

My brother sees this and turns to me, cowering his shoulders.

"I don't want to be king for a while. I don't want to be king for the time being.

Normally, I would have replied with something as light as "Don't say that," but this time, I couldn't say anything like that and had to nod my head in silence.
