The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

There was really too much going on, but I managed to complete everything I needed to do today, so I decided to head to the quarters that had been prepared for me.

I also moved the burin that I had left near the entrance of the city to the stables near the inn, and it has attracted much more attention from the demon people than it did at first.

There are some ridiculous rumors flying around about flying demons and humans being flying creatures, but I'm sure time will tell. ...... Maybe.

"I'm glad you're here, Aruk-san. ......"

"Ha-ha-ha, you're overreacting."

The dormitories were divided into two, one in the kingdom of Lingle and the other in the kingdom of Nirvarna.

Basically, we were supposed to cook our own dinner, so we waited at the table until dinner arrived, leaving the cooking to Aruk-san, just as we had done on our previous trip.

"Well, the first day in the demon kingdoms. It was a hard day. Usato-sama."

Mr. Krumia, who was sitting in front of me, chuckled as he said this.

No, I'm really sorry for the trouble I've caused you all.

It was just as I had heard. "There is always something < or going on around you, Usato-dono."......It was just as you said, Suzune-san.

"You are too right, you can't deny it ......"

I mean, what are you blowing into Mr. Krumia's head, senpai?

"It was more difficult coming from my family than from the demon king's territory, but..."

"Ha-ha-ha, even for us, that Nirvarna thing was unexpected.

At any rate, Senri-sama's problem should have been ...... managed at least for the time being.

I tried not to deceive you as much as I could, but I'll leave her to Koga, who escaped.

"I'm sorry about Nair too."

"No, ...... I'm not mad at you, but ....... I'm just angry that it's happening to me. It's too much of a shock."

"Ha-ha-ha, so we're even."

"...... No, we're not pals. I'll get your blood later."

I don't mind if it's just a little bit.

Well, give me a couple of liters."

Néa smiles at me and I put my hand on her chin.

"You'll get a stomach ache if you drink that much, you know?"

"I'm kidding, but aren't you implying that you don't mind being drained of two liters of blood ......?"

Sometimes I almost forget that Nair is a vampire because he's always in owl form.

And that he's a necromancer.

"How about you, Uluru?　"Come to a city with demon people."

I call out to her sitting next to me, and she comes to herself, somewhat dazed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was a little fuzzy."

"Are you all right?　If you're tired, you should rest.

"No, no. I was just wondering if you were okay.

You mean Olga.

You're family, so of course you're worried about her. .......

"Olga-san has Nack with her, so she'll be fine."

"...... yeah. I know, I need to focus on me."

I nodded to Mr. Uluru, whose expression brightened a little.

"How was your first day here?"

"Yes."

"Well, I guess I'll be all right. For the time being, I feel like I'm doing just fine. Is it because everyone has been looking only at you, Usato-kun?"

"Ah. ......"

I guess I flew away.

No one is to blame for this, but I can only feel that we made a huge impact from the beginning.

"Usato, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"Basically, we will stay on standby unless the Demon King requests us to stay, but tomorrow we are going to see off the knights who were dispatched from the Lingle Kingdom before us.

Formally, it's like taking turns with us.

Other than that, it's still up in the air. .......

"The Demon King has asked me to interact with the demon people, so I'm thinking of going outside. I'm also thinking of going to meet Keira's guardians."

"Kiera's?"

"She asked me to meet her, but I also wanted to show my face.

I should meet with him and apologize for hiding my identity.

I need to make sure my leg is actually injured.

Then we can go and see the expedition members.

The demon king said he's going to recruit, but the original members are probably Koga's men.

I wonder how "capable" they are, since they must be elite if they are his subordinates.

"Hey, what did you do to Keira, Usato?"

"I don't mean to sound very friendly, but..."

Haha, that's not what I meant. I just thought he really loves me."

Ah, so that's what it's all about: .......

"Thank you for your patience, ladies and gentlemen."

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Alc.

It seems that Mr. Aruk's cooking is just about ready.

The food we eat here has the same ingredients as the ones the demon tribe people eat in the demon king's territory.

Although the food looks deliciously prepared by Mr. Aruk's hands, the quantity of the ingredients used is not large.

"......As Aruk-san is here, shall we talk while we eat?"

The dark wizard Keira meets Gref and his friends.

The battle that transcended dimensions and time and the first encounter with the Demon King took place at the site of the decisive battle between the Demon King and the previous generation of heroes.

The time of the night passes slowly as I recount these events.

The time of the night passes slowly as we recount these events.

After finishing dinner, I wiped myself with warm water and a hand towel and changed my clothes. I checked my belongings again in my room and wrote down what I was going to do in the notebook I had brought with me.

There were many things that needed to be done anyway.

I heard that the Demon King has a lot of requests for me, so I'd better get myself in gear.

"......"

I fold up my notebook and put it back in my bag.

Quickly, smoothly, and intricately, I rotate the magic power so that it circulates from the center of my chest --- my heart --- to my entire body.

"Next, ......"

He grasps the magic bullet created in his palm and senses the magic power.

This technique detects the presence of living and moving things within its range.

This is a countermeasure against the disappearing demons, and must be practiced at all costs.

Hm?　Is it necessary to grip the magic bullet in the first place?

I've been doing it every time, but it's a big gap and I should change the way I do it. ......?

"Magic doesn't just come from your hands. Then ......"

Just release it from your whole body: ......!

We have already experienced how to do this with Ferrum and his senior's Thunder Beast mode.

There is no reason why you can't do it. ......!

"Nnnn......n,gu......!"

I tried to radiate magic power from my upper body imaginatively, but I could see that the magic power was being drained away at a tremendous rate.

I try to stop radiating immediately, but this is not very practical.

"Hmmm, I thought it was a good idea..."

My magic power as it is is too consuming.

Or do I send it out like a ripple, like sonar?　It would still be better, but it would still use more magic than usual.

"Come to think of it, lineage enhancement is a technique to increase the concentration of magic power. ......"

The concentration of magic power is increased by putting it into the body, thus increasing its effectiveness.

That is the reinforcement.

Then can't we do the opposite?

I can put healing magic on my palm and concentrate my consciousness.

"......"

If the strengthening of the system is like making the light more intense, this is like making the light thinner and weaker.

The magic remains the same.

Thinner.

More transparent.

The emerald green color gradually fades with each thought.

In terms of color, it is one step lighter than Nack's healing magic, isn't it?

"......It's easier than I thought."

Let's try the same thing as before with this.

"Hmph."

Radiate the diluted magic power.

The space is filled with a thin glow of healing magic.

You have consumed some magic power, but it is much less than before.

"If I had to name it, I'd say it's a degradation of the system.

By daring to lower the quality of the healing magic, we can reduce the consumption of magic power and keep the situation more seamless.

As I take a short rest, someone unexpectedly knocks on the door of my room.

"Yes?　Hmm?　Neah, what's wrong?"

I open the door and there is Nair with her arms crossed, looking up at me with a stern stare.

What?

"Hey Usato, some kind of relaxing magic is coming into the next room."

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. I've just developed a new technology that's second only to magic spinning.

"It's not that I don't like it, but ...... yeah?"

Did the magic just go through the wall?

I'm sorry I did that, even if it was a healing spell.

I'll hold him back this time. See you.

No, wait a minute!

I tried to close the door, but he stuck his foot in the doorway.

You're not doing something strange again, are you?

Not this time. I'm just wondering if it's possible to do the opposite of strengthening the system.

"Huh?　You can't do that.

"No, I could have done that."

And then Nair's head is in his hands.

"I'm used to it, so I'm not surprised. I'm used to it, so it doesn't surprise me. I'm used to it, so it doesn't surprise me. ......!"

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Show me some of your skills ......!"

I don't mind.

I open the door and let her in, but this time Mr. Aruk comes from the end of the hallway.

"Mister Usato! Just in time.

"Yes?　Mr. Alc, what's wrong?

Hannah came to see me.

Hannah?

About tomorrow's plans or something?

"Neah, can I show you my tricks later?"

"I don't know. ...... I'll wait in my room."

Nair enters my room without hesitation with a somewhat unconvinced look on her face.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, I was just thinking of a new technique and I got a little cranky."

Haha, I guess you never change, Usato-dono. ...... Oh, Hannah is waiting for you downstairs."

"Yes, sir."

I leave Aruk and go downstairs by myself.

Hannah is standing in the doorway, looking a little tired, and she sighs when she notices me.

"Hanna-san?　What's wrong?

"No, I forgot to tell you something, so I thought I would tell you today.

"Yes?　Oh, I don't want to talk standing up, so please sit down."

Let me show you to your table and then listen to what you have to say.

"First of all, I live right next door to this dormitory.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, it's a coincidence, isn't it? It's as if it was decided from the beginning that I would be your assistant.

He smiled at me with a shadowy smile.

I wonder if it was orchestrated by ...... the Demon King or something?

"If you do something outside the house, report it to me or I will accompany you, so please come and tell me.

"Yes, sir."

Is it more of a watchdog role than an assistant?

No, in the case of the Demon King, it's also possible that he's paired me up with him because he thinks it'll be fun.

So what should I do during morning training?

"What?　Training?

"I'm thinking of running in. It's a good way to get a feel for the structure of the city.

I've only seen the cityscape from the sky, so I'll have to run and see it for myself first.

"What time are you planning to start running?"

...... hmmm.

"About the time the sun comes up."

"No, I'm sleeping normally, so please don't come. ......?　I don't mind if you just want to go for a run. I'm just running. ...... Oh, please don't do anything strange, okay?"

I know what happens when you run with a burin on your back.

I know this is not the Lingle Kingdom.

"Don't worry. We just run. ......!"

"I don't know. I don't feel safe at all. ......"

How untrustworthy am I?

But if I'm not trustworthy at first, then I'll just have to raise it.

I should do my best to gain her trust, since my friendship with Ms. Hannah would be part of the task to deepen our friendship as the Demon Lord had said.
