The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

A senior student has decided to participate in the lifeguard training.

That's all there is to it, but it was quite a surprise to the people of the Lingle Kingdom that she had joined the training as a member of the lifeguard squad.

When she was running with us in the city, they looked at us twice.

"I see the dormitories are almost finished.

"Yes."

A senior member, dressed in the training uniform provided by the lifeguard corps, leaps lightly and throws a flying kick at me.

He catches it head-on with his crossed arms, then spins around in mid-air to deliver a spinning kick.

"Woah!"

He swerves his body to avoid the kick.

He is currently in a kumite match with his senpai at the training ground, but even without a sword he is a tough fighter.

Each blow is less powerful than the last, but he always manages to pull out moves beyond my expectations. ......!

"Well then, let's use magic."

"Yes."

Senpai's whole body is covered with a thin layer of electric shocks, and I grip the magic bullet floating in my palm.

I, who had broadened my senses by sensing magic power, and Senpai, who was moving at high speed by electric shocks, accelerated the speed of our pairing.

I detect the attack with my eyes and senses and defend myself precisely, while senpai tries to pass through the hole in my defense with his skill and speed.

"That's it!

"Mwah!

Suddenly, my senior puts his hand on my arm, and my vision spins around.

When I realize that I have been thrown, I change my position in the air and land on the ground.

"Aiki ......?"

"I've learned a bit of it in my old world. Well, a little self-defense."

You mean you used my power to throw me.

It's not just about power, it's about skill.

I stand up, feeling as if I were under a spell.

"Shall we stop here?

"Yes. Are you going to the castle now?

Yes. I heard that the personnel to be dispatched to the Demon King's territory have been decided, so I was told to meet with them before my departure.

I guess you could call them "auditors" who are going to the Demon Lord's territory with us.

My general role is to report on the demon tribe and to deepen my friendship and understanding with them.

I think that the Lingle Kingdom will choose someone who is as knowledgeable and sensible as possible. ...... Well, I guess I won't know that until I meet them.

"Well then, senpai..."

Hmm?　What's going on?

"Right now, Nair and Ferrum have detected the training and are trying to escape from this place, but please take care of them while I'm gone."

""UGU......!""

Ferrum and Nair let out a moan as they try to leave the place without a sound.

If you're under my spell, there's no way you can escape.

"......, okay!"

"Usato!　Did he just give me an impure smile?

He's going to do something!

I don't trust him.

He's been training seriously for the past few days.

What are you going to do, by the way?

"I was thinking of giving ...... you two an electric massage after the run."

"Well, that sounds great."

"Not good!　You'll only be putting yourself in danger!

I think you're a little scared of him.

...... Oh, that kind of massage?　You don't know that there's such a thing?

"You human-like creatures may be fine with the electric shocks, but we're demons to demons!"

That's a terrible thing to say. .......

I'm a human too.

I explain to Nair who is desperately trying to appeal to me, my cheeks scrunched up.

"It's a good idea, electric massage. It might help with training fatigue, stiff shoulders, etc.?

"What?　Stiff shoulders? ......"

"Hey, you titty ghost. What are you worried about? ......!　Why are you looking at me with pity......!　Inukami, don't look at me like that!"

......The two of you are somehow getting along well with your seniors.

During the early morning run, she was talking to Tong and the others as usual,...... and the tension was so high that it made those tough guys shudder a little, but if she's doing well here, that's all that matters.

"Well then, senpai, I'm counting on you here.

"See you later, Usato-kun!"

"Yes, I'll be back later."

At any rate, before heading for the castle, let's head for the dormitories to change into our official company uniforms.

I wonder who will be the members of the group that will be sent to the castle.

I wonder who will be sent to the castle.

I headed to the castle and was immediately ushered into the training area where those who would be dispatched were being gathered.

I don't have to worry about who will be chosen, since I know the faces of the knights of the Lingle Kingdom, even if I don't know their names. .......

"How many people have you gathered to be dispatched?"

I ask Mr. Welshy, who is guiding us.

The mage puts her finger to her mouth and answers with a friendly smile.

"There are about five of us.

"Surprisingly few. ......"

"From the very beginning, personnel have been dispatched to the Demon King's territory. The people who are being dispatched this time are following in their footsteps,...... but their actual purpose is to assist and escort Usato-sama."

"I see. ......"

If that is the case, it makes sense why there are so few of us.

Well, I guess you'll have to guard Uluru rather than me.

"And this is a sudden decision, but ......"

What's going on?

The Kingdom of Nirvarna will also be sending personnel.

"Nirvarna ......"

In my mind's eye, I see Lady Ouka and Harold, whom I met at the meeting earlier.

"It's really urgent. ......"

"It was not long after the meeting. However, since the Kingdom of Nirvarna is a country that does not discriminate against subhumans, it is a suitable country to dispatch personnel to, so I have obtained the Demon Lord's approval and will be heading to the Demon Lord's territory with Usato-sama and the others."

If the decision has already been made, then I have nothing to say.

In fact, it is reassuring.

"It seems that we will be able to cooperate with them there.

"Yes, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, Mr. Usato."

Nirvarna.

I hope someone like Mr. Hyde comes.

And then we arrive at the training ground.

"These are the knights and mages who will accompany us this time.

I look where Mr. Welshy's palm is pointing, and I realize that someone familiar to me is there.

"Mr. Aruk!

It is Mr. Alc, my trusted companion with whom I shared the journey to deliver the letter.

He waved his hand to me as if he had recognized me.

"Your presence here means that you are ......."

"Yes, I have been asked to participate in this expedition by Lord Usato."

It is reassuring to have you here, Mr. Aruk!

But .......

"The destination is the demon king's territory. ......?"

"Yes, sir. I know it's dangerous, ...... but above all, I accepted your request because I want to help you."

"Mr. Aruk, ......"

The rest of us are here with the same thought in mind."

Mr. Aruk then introduces me to four other people.

Three of them were new to me, but one of them was someone I knew.

Mr. Krumeier, is it?　He was accompanying my senpai on his trip when he handed over the letter ......"

"You remembered me. Yes, I have been requested to join you on this mission. I am looking forward to working with you, Mr. Usato.

Mr. Krumia, the knight who was escorting my senior.

He was a good friend of my senior, and his personality is perfect.

The others are not difficult people either, and for the time being, there is no problem with the personnel.

"Once again, thank you for your cooperation. I am sure that this dispatch will not be easy and there may be some problems, but we will not give up and will complete our mission.

""""Yes!"""

"Also, there will be one more person, one more animal, and one more animal from the rescue team, not including me."

"With one?"

One and?

"One ......?"

Oh, that's not so easy to understand, is it?

But Neah is sometimes an owl and sometimes a person.

"Usato-dono, I heard that Amako-dono returned to Hinomoto once, who will accompany you besides Bulrin and Nair?"

"Aruk-kun, you know ......?

Mr. Krumia is extremely surprised, but we are friends who have traveled together and overcome many hardships.

I trust you too.

"This is Uluru. She is a healing magician like me, and the Commander recommended her as the best in terms of personality.

"I see what you mean. I understand.

With Mr. Aruk and the others, Uluru's protection will be rock solid.

If something were to happen, I would also work to protect her.

We then talked about the demon king's territory to be dispatched to, and after some discussion, we decided to break up for the day.

"Ah, Usato-dono!

"Can I help you?　Mr. Krumia."

I look back at Mr. Krumeier, who spoke to me after we broke up.

"No, I heard that Suzune-san is now a member of the lifeguard corps. How are you doing?　How is Suzune-san?

Yes, she ran well today.

I can easily imagine the scene!

"As a member of ......, I'm glad to see you running hard enough for me to cast a healing spell on you. Hmm?　Can I help you?　Mr. Krumia?"

I tilt my head to Mr. Krumeier who is holding his eyes for some reason.

"......Suzune-san's tearful efforts brought tears to my eyes.

"?"

"The other party is probably stronger than the Demon King!　Suzune-san ......!!!"

What on earth are you fighting against ......?

As I tilted my head at Kurumia-san's words, Kurumia-san suddenly thought of something and smiled like a mischievous child.

"Oh, by the way, may I ask you to tell Suzune-san that I am going to participate in this dispatch?"

"Hmm?　No, it's fine.

"I hope this makes you feel a sense of urgency. ...... but it's Suzune-san, you know..."

I didn't understand the whole story, but I could tell that he was worried about his senpai.

At any rate, I'll make sure to tell him about Mr. Kurumia.
