The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

We had an unforeseen incident with Keira's dark magic that made us fly through the sky, but we were able to encounter Koga, and for the time being, we are on our way to the Demon Lord.

Aruk-san would have headed straight to the Demon Lord's place, and although there were some problems, it was as if there were no problems at all.

I feel a lot of eyes on me when I walk around the city with Koga and Keira.

They don't seem to be hostile to me, but they seem to be puzzled by the fact that I am walking with Koga.

"If only Ferrum were here, I could disguise myself as a demon tribe..."

"Mr. Ferrum, aren't you here?"

I nodded to Keira, who was hovering in her cloak.

She's more proficient than before, so she must have worked hard. .......

It seems to be useful for getting around, and it seems to be a very useful magic.

"She's away from home."

"I see. ...... I'm sorry to hear that. I missed you. ......"

As a dark wizard, Ferm is my teacher.

Apart from that, I guess we have a lot in common as dark wizards.

How long have you been here?

"About two months. I'll be here to help the Demon King and the demon tribe, and I'll keep a record of their lives and submit it to the Lingle Kingdom ...... where I belong.

"Wow. ......."

The edges of the cloak are fluttering, as if to show Keira's happy emotions.

I smile at the movement, which reminds me of a dog's tail, and Keira looks at me again.

"Oh, Gref is here, too, so why don't you meet him?

"Oh, Gref is here too! I'll find time to go see him. How's his leg?

"Yes!　He doesn't have a scratch on it anymore and he's walking normally.

I didn't know what happened to him after that, although the healing magic had healed him properly.

I'm so glad to hear that your injuries are completely healed.

Hey, Usato.

"What's up, Kohlga?"

As I was talking to Keira, Koga, who was walking with me, called out to me.

"You said you were going to help me," he said.

"Yeah. It's just a part of my job.

As for me, my primary purpose is to deepen my friendship with the demon people.

Koga nodded and folded his hands behind his head.

"Maybe you'll be helping us with our work.

"What kind of work?"

"It's a mission to explore the realm of demons. It's a dangerous mission to explore a forest infested with ferocious monsters.

"I see, so that's why I'm a healing wizard."

If there are ferocious monsters in the area, then of course there will be a battle.

If there is a battle, people will be injured, but healing magic is a magic that can only be awakened by humans, so you mean that until now we have not been able to do any dangerous pioneering .......

"That's one thing, but they're simply too strong. And you have a blue grizzly bear with you.

"Bullin doesn't follow me, he's my partner. I'm not following him, I'm following you.

He corrects himself and shows Koga the owl-like nair on his shoulder.

Nair spreads her small wings with a confident air.

Yes. I'm her messenger. I forced him to sign a contract with me so that I could follow him for the rest of my life.

"...... Hey, aren't you surrounded by a lot of nasty guys?"

"You're one of them.

Except for the fighting, he is a reasonable guy.

"Well, we'll have to train the guys in my squad first. If we enter the realm of demons, we won't be able to maintain our physical strength half-heartedly.

"It's going to be a physical challenge, isn't it?"

"It's just that, ...... honestly, I'm not very good at teaching people things..."

Keira nods in strong agreement with Koga's words.

In Keira's case, she even left this girl alone and ran off to a meeting. .......

"Ah, yes. You, can you train a search party?"

"...... Koga, is that a request for me, the vice commander of the lifeguard squad?"

What?　Well, well, I'll have to get permission from the Demon Lord first. ......"

A lifeguard on the road.

This is getting real.

Perhaps we could even try to work as healing wizards like Olga and Uluru and run a clinic of some sort.

"Mr. Usato, you look like you're having fun."

That's it. You're not thinking straight, are you?

"I wonder if I can join in."

"This girl is almost like a knacker. ...... I'm scared."

That said, Senri will be there when we meet up, so let me tell you about her while I'm at it.

"There is a woman from the kingdom of Nirvarna who has come to see you because she knows about you."

"Nirvana?　You mean those guys who were all over you during the meeting?"

"I wouldn't say they got involved, but ...... yeah, that's who they were."

You know Coga because you've been watching him too.

Well, that's a good thing.

No, it's too weird.

"?　I'm not suspicious.　...... don't you believe the way I look at people at all?"

"I don't believe you! I can tell if someone is a bad guy or not, but you can't tell if someone is a freak or not!

To be honest, I'm not sure if I have confidence in my eyesight.

So, Koga's question is quite right.

But as to whether or not I am a freak, let me deny it.

"Koga, it's not that I don't know how to recognize a freak."

"Oh, oh."

"Most of the people I encounter are just strange."

"...... That means you can't!"

Most of the people you meet are full of quirks and quirks......!

In fact, there are few people who have common sense. ......!

"......You didn't sell me out to the guys from Nirvarna at the last meeting, did you? ......!"

"No, I swear I didn't. That was just a joke, I never mentioned your name."

"I can assure you of that. He never mentioned your name.

The follow-up by Nea, who was almost with him, also convinced Koga.

"Wow, I don't know. What's this chill ......, this steady, horrible feeling of something approaching ......?

"Ha-ha-ha, you're thinking too much. And don't worry. It's not a demon posing as a villager who has tricked you into believing she's a princess in a box or a beastman's boy who shoots arrows at you at the first sign of trouble.

"You're being awfully specific and scary."

It's true.

If you dare not say it, the place changes from a cityscape to a square-like area.

In the center of the square, there is a big pavilion, and near the entrance, we find Aruk and his friends accompanied by Hanna.

"Oh, hey!　Usato-kun!"

I finally join them, waving back to Uluru who notices me and waves to me.

First, I explain to Mr. Aruk why I was taken out by Keira's magic, which started moving on its own.

"So that's what happened. At any rate, I'm glad you're all right.

"I'm sorry!　I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you.

"I don't see why you should be angry, since you don't seem to be bothered by it."

When Keira apologizes, Mr. Aruk replies with a gentle smile.

Then Mr. Uluru, who had been itching to see Keira from a while ago, taps me lightly on the shoulder.

"Hey, Usato-kun ......!　Who is this girl?

I've met her before. She has the same dark magic as Ferrum, and I've been teaching her how to use it a little. ......Keira, this is Uluru, a healing magician who belongs to the same rescue team as me.

"I'm Keira. It's nice to meet you. ......"

Keira greeted Uluru, whom she had never met before, with trepidation.

She looks back at me with a certain vigor, as if that had touched her heart.

"Usato-kun!　I've always wanted a sister!

"No!"

"You answered too quickly!"

I had already learned that reaction from my senior year.

I quickly stop Uluru-san from taking Keira as a sister and turn to Hannah-san, who has been glaring at me since a few minutes ago.

"Hannah-san! I'm sorry for making a scene.

"It's true,......, why do I have to be so tired after the first day,...... Nono is stuck clinging to the flying dragon.... ..."

No, I'm really sorry.

Even though it was unavoidable under the circumstances, it was true that I had caused trouble for Ms. Hanna.

"Well, it's okay. After this, I will take you to the Demon Lord.

Am I on my own?

Yes. Everyone except you will be in a specially built dormitory.

You mean that I, as the representative, will speak alone.

Taking a deep breath, Hannah-san looks at me once again, perhaps having regained some of her composure.

"Well, I am older than you, so I will call you Usato-kun.

"I don't mind."

"From now on, I will be in charge of assisting you. So please don't make a fuss like you did today. I promise."

I'm not going to make a scene.

This time it was a kind of force majeure, so there would not be a commotion.

"Hmph, don't worry. I won't cause a scene."

"Why do I feel so uneasy when I look at you ......?"

"There's no way this guy doesn't make something happen. ......"

I go through Nair, who mutters disturbing things in a whisper.

I'm not here to make a scene, I'm here to do my part.

Now, please follow me.

"Oh, wait a minute. Kohlga, come here for a minute.

Hmm?　Oh."

Before going to the Demon Lord: .......

I introduce Koga to Senri, who is among the people of Nirvarna, who until now has remained silent.

"Senri-san. This is Kåga."

"Well, you are ...... pleased to meet you, my name is Senri."

"Oh, hi, I'm Khooga Dingal."

Senri smiles at me and holds out his hand for me to shake.

When I nodded to Koga, who was a little surprised to see my hand, he awkwardly held out his right hand and shook my hand.

"Hey, Usato. Hey, Usato. Is Nirvarna a country with such a strong handshake ......?"

"!　Hmph!"

"I'd appreciate it if you'd let go of my hand soon. ......"

Senri puts more pressure on Kohga's hand as he tries to release the handshake.

He is puzzled, and she turns her head and slowly says something to him.

"I would like to introduce myself again. My name is Senri Vin Nirvarna.

"Yeah?　...... yeah!?"

Vin Nirvana ......?

Wait, I remember that Harold, the king of Nirvarna, called himself Harold Vin Nirvarna. .......

Could it be ......?

"Helena-san?　This guy?

"As you can see. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. ......"

Helena looked extremely tired and held her stomach.

Meanwhile, Senri, who still keeps his hand on Koga's hand, has gone from a cheerful smile to a predator-like smile... almost like Rose's. It makes me smile.

"I am the second princess of the Kingdom of Nirvarna."

.......

My gaze crosses with Koga's, who stiffens.

After a moment of silence, he points at me with his left arm made of dark magic, distraught.

"Usato, you!　You've been set up!"

I didn't know it either!

Who else could it be?

Who else? Who else would have thought that the princess would be among those sent?

"I never thought ...... I'd meet such strong warriors!"

...... guys?　No way, me!

Coga's gaze on me reminds me of the conversation I had with her up to this point.

I didn't have to think too much about it, but there were glimpses of it, so why didn't I notice it?

"I had a inkling, but you are a more desperate princess than I thought..."

"Neah, tell me if you noticed!"

"It's still funny ...... because I enjoyed the way you walked the tightrope of conversation. Pfft."

No, my messenger is nothing but malice!

This is totally targeting me too!

Oh no, he's going to make me his fiancée!

Then, Aruk-san casually approaches me and puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Ah, Mr. Aruk, ......!"

"Usato-dono! In my experience, in such a situation, it is important not to be carried away by the situation. In addition, it is even better to find the best timing without offending the other party's spirit.

"What the hell happened in your past ......?

You said it was your experience!

I think I've just learned a meaningful part of your past at a time when I didn't expect it!

"At last, at last, at last I found it. My fiancée."

"Hey!　Hey, he's got these crazy eyes, the kind of eyes that only think about fighting!

Koga starts to panic, unable to force his hand away because he's dealing with the other guy.

It's obvious that I'm one of the targets.

Senri-san......Senri-sama is a beautiful woman and I am honored to be her target, but as I said before, I have my own position and mission to fulfill, so I have to avoid her now......!

Now, if it comes to this, ......!　Forgive me, Kogach!

"Ha-ha-ha, Koga, you're just like me...!　In my opinion you two are a perfect match. ......!"

"What?　Is that so ......?　That's the first time anyone has ever said that to me. ......

"Usato, you son of a b*tc*!"

He immediately decides to take Koga's place.

This should be a welcome deal from the Demon King's point of view. ......!

Koga points at me with a desperate look on his face.

"If that's what you mean, he's a human and he beats me up!　His movements are too dangerous to be human!　If you have to choose one, you should choose that one!

"!!!?"

What a guy, he sold me out. ......!

And because he said it so loudly, even the nearby demon tribe members were shocked......!

Senri-sama's gaze turned to me, and I felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

"This is a love triangle, isn't it?　It's a love triangle, isn't it?　I've never seen it before.

"It's an ugly fight. ...... Keira, will you please stop fluttering your cape so majestically because it scares the eyes out of me?"

"......"

Mr. Uluru, this is a love triangle, but it is not a love triangle.

It's a death game in which I and Koga are trying to get the upper hand on Senri-sama.

"So, who is stronger, Usato or Koga?"

"I'm the stronger one.

"Well, I guess I am."

.......

""...... Oh."""

"Huh, both are strong."

By the time I responded reflexively, it was already too late and Senri-sama had a big smile on his face.

Then, she suddenly hugs Koga's arm and turns to go somewhere.

"Koga-san, let's have a mock battle just to say hello. ......!

"Hey, where's Usato?　He's so strong!

"First of all, you."

I'm not sure about the "for starters" part, but it seems we've managed for now.

So that's the little sister that Mr. Ouka was talking about.

She was very different from what I had expected, but I could tell that she was from Nirvarna.

"Usato!　Hannah is fine by me!　Hey, Tuskete!

Koga, looking frantic, asks me and Hannah for help.

I casually look at her next to me and see that she is holding her hand on her cheek, looking very happy.

"No, it looks like fun, so please do your best.

"Coga ...... be careful because if you do something bad it will become an international problem. ......Nanmu."

"You sons of b*tc*es!　Yeah, they're gonna take us!

I bow to the Corga.

Well, it's not like they're suddenly engaged or anything.

...... honestly, I'm sorry about that, I'll apologize to Kohga later.
