　At last, from the jungle of hell(?) I was finally able to return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was poisoned by snakes and injured, but Rose's healing magic cured me of everything. I would not have been able to heal myself like this now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thinking about it, I was made to realize once again that Rose's healing magic is truly amazing.

　After I returned to the kingdom, I realized that I had spent a very long time in the mountains, even though I had only been in the mountains for about ten days.

　Right now, I am taking a blue grizzly bear cub, named "Bulrin", to an old stable near the lifeguard's quarters to heal his wounds with healing magic.

　His blue fur is bushy and soft to the touch.

"Hmmm, I think it's a nice name, don't you? Hey, Bulrin."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, I really think "Bullyn" is a good name.

　Taking "bull" and "ri" from "blue grizzly" and "Bullyn" from "blue grizzly", it is a cute name like some local character.

　I guess it's at times like this that my sense of style comes out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I nodded my head and put my hand on his head, and he nodded his head as if he was nodding to my words,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......... kaput."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He bit my hand with a snap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Well, he seems to be very happy to get my name. Ha-ha-ha, is he bleeding beyond a sweet bite?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ongoing biting of my hand, Bulrin, has been safely admitted to the kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I honestly thought I would be kicked out, but Rose told me that monsters who follow humans like Kukuru, the black rabbit, will be granted the right to stay in the kingdom after a few days of observation, as long as they are safe to some extent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard that you have to write a difficult report for that ......, but Rose will take care of that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't really dislike him because I can rely on him at times like this, even though he has only a scary side. .......

"That's that. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kyu?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's you, you traitorous ...... rabbit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kyu~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... because there's no point in tilting your pretty little head, is there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a secret that for a moment I was so taken by his cuteness that I almost forgave him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rose's pet "Kukuru" came with me and Bulrin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rose tells me that it is a rather rare kind of monster, and its name as a demon is Noir Rabbit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have a grudge against this rabbit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He played with my pure heart. I like the fact that he went to the trouble of pretending to be injured to get close to me ......, though he's too healthy for his master..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But it doesn't add up. I thought Rose's pets were ...... dragons and other legendary dangerous creatures, but it's not fair that they're ...... cute!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gua!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ow!　Sorry!　Sorry!" "Bulrin's cute too!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!　So don't hit my shin!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kukuru, who had been looking at me curiously, looks behind me, then squeals and jumps toward the back of the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turn around to see Rose with Kukuru on her shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, good boy!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Rose, ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I finished the report properly. The bear is now the property of the rescue squad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... property, huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I guess you could say that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This place isn't free for the taking, and we still have to feed Bullyn. We're going to have to get him to work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that in mind, I turned to Bulrin and found him with his head in a lump of straw. His blue body seems to be trembling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Bulllin, you. ....... I don't care how scared you are of Rose, you can't do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, that's the end of the story about the bear. I'm here to talk about the son of a b*tc*."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A failure?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You mean that snake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does "failure" mean ......, literally, or does it mean something else?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I encountered that monster deep in the forest when I was guided to a place of clean water by that ...... kukuru.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. He was healing his wounds and building up his strength in a place where we couldn't find him ......... but not enough to kill a grand grizzly ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You know, ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How dangerous was the grand grizzly?　I only know about it from knowledge. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was my main concern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I genuinely want to know how dangerous a place I was being thrown into.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rose crosses her arms uncomfortably at my question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. A squadron of this country's best and brightest could not have done this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you stupid?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I immediately apologized. I should have lost if I retreated here, but I reflexively apologized. ......!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think about it, I'm not saying I'm great, but I must have done my best, didn't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I casually asked Rose about it, surprisingly her answer was neither abusive nor critical.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......You passed, or more than passed, this time. You may have failed to defeat him, but you have cornered that failure. You're qualified."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What qualifications?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

To stand on the same battlefield as me. You may not have the fundamentals yet, but you've got something different from all the other healing wizards out there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's different?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The body's ability to withstand pain, the physicality, and the ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rose puts her fist on my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mental toughness, that's what the other two healing wizards under my command couldn't get. You should be proud."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not sure I'm aware of that. ...... hmm?　Two healing wizards?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That reminds me, there are two other healing wizards in the medical corps besides Rose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I have never seen them since I was thrown into the Rescue Mission.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They are weak, so they run a clinic in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, so ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I envy .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those people don't have to go through Rose's training. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Those guys are the emergency rearguard, the other five are to retrieve the wounded, and you and I will be in the vanguard to treat the wounded."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm the vanguard?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course you are. You're just like me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What at ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We don't have time for this. The Demon Lords will be here soon. They'll probably come after me aggressively to make sure I don't make the same mistake they did last time. That's where you, the hidden gem, come in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I may be the trump card ...... against the Demon Lord's army, which is an exaggeration, or I may be more like a tease to fool them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Can I play such a big role?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the midst of a fight for life or death, will I be able to maintain a normal state of mind?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rose, seeing the darkened expression on my face and sensing my feelings, continues to weave her words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's no use worrying about it. But be prepared, there will surely be brave men and women sent out to the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kazuki, Inukami-senpai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They're not like me. They're real heroes. It's only natural that they'll have to fight against the Demon Lord's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if the king stops them from going into battle, the two of them will definitely go to the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What about me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To be honest, I don't want to join the war. But I am more concerned about losing my friends in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't know if I'm stubborn or what, but if the two of us are going to go, I don't like it if I don't go either, since I'm in the same situation. I don't want to be the only one in a safe place while they are trying their best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm just being selfish like a child, but one thing is for sure, I can't turn a blind eye to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at Rose with a serious expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't ...... fight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And I don't kill my enemies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But I will save everyone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's fine, we're a rescue squad, we don't have to kill them either. We save people. We beat up and take the self-sacrificing, death-hungry bastards, snatch the ones about to be killed by the enemy from the side, and let the ones about to die live even if they die. That's what we do. ...... understand?　Newbie. Talk idealistically all you want, but that's what we, the lifeguards, are supposed to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not the power to kill them, but the power to keep them alive. Until now, I have been in limbo, unable to decide my path, but now, at this moment, with his words, I have made up my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battlefield is a merciless place where people can easily die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if my power can be the power to save someone's life in such a place, I will step forward without hesitation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I raised my voice to respond to her words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Commander!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this moment, I became a member of the rescue team for the first time.
