　After I expressed my determination to Rose, I was punished after all.

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

　She was still angry at me for saying bad things about her, so she locked me up and put me through a hell of a muscle training program. I have no recollection of last night, so it must have been a horrible experience.

　I found myself in my own bed, sharing a room with Tong.

　My face is pale with the incomprehension that my body is neither injured nor tired, but my mind is exhausted.

"What the hell did they do to me? ......"

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

"Oh, you're up, Usato."

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

"Tongs, it's been a while since I've seen your face."

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

　When I got up from the bed, there was Tong, a strong-looking colleague of mine.

　What a bad day to wake up and see this unfortunate face that even a child would run away from.

"Huh. ......"

"Hey, why are you sighing there? I was hoping you'd be a little more mature after being thrown into the woods. I guess there's not much hope for me now.

　Pull it out, tough guy, I'm only quiet when I'm not with Tong and the other four.

　After I had finished getting dressed while exchanging some light banter with Tong, I went to the cafeteria to have breakfast and then went outside the dormitory.

　On my way out, I fill a bucket with fruit that I borrowed from the cafeteria and take it to the stables where Bulrin is staying.

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

　I looked into the stables and saw a blue grizzly bear, Bulrin, lying on a bed of straw.

"Hey, Bullyn, are you awake?"

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

".........gu?"

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

　He just woke up.

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

　He stroked him, and then he took a bucket of fruit that looked like an apple and put it in front of him.

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

　He puts his nose close to the fruit and sniffs it, then opens his big mouth and takes a bite of the fruit.

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

"Good, good."

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

"Huff ...... huff."

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

　After chewing slowly and swallowing, he offers another fruit to Bulrin. He offers another fruit, not forgetting to stroke it with his other hand.

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

　Hmmm... he is so docile and has such a cozy fur.

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

　It must have been very weird for the others to see me smiling and giving him the fruit.

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

"There you are. I've been looking all over for you."

"Commander?　What's going on?　It's not time for training yet.

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

　A grim-faced Rose came in through the entrance.

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

　I try not to worry too much about it, since it is usual for me to look grumpy.

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

"What's ...... that guy's name for today's training?"

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

"You mean Bullring?"

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

"Bull ...... Lynn?　Is that his name?"

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

　When Rose asks me what Bullyn's name is, I tell her his name.

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

　Rose rolls her eyes as if they were saucers. It was a rare look, so I felt a little refreshed.

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

"Are you sure you want to call him that?"

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

"Yes, isn't it a good name?　Hey, Bulrin."

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

"Kapk."

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

　He bites my hand as I reach out to pat him on the head.

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

　I'm sure he's just embarrassed.

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

　It's her way of showing her affection.

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

"Look, he likes it too."

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

"Oh, yeah?　Well, then, from today on, this Bulgarian will be training with you."

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

　Me and Bulrin?

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

　Bulrin, who has freed his hand from the bite, tilts his head and looks up at Rose.

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

"He's a member of the lifeguard squad, too," Rose says. Shouldn't he be part of your training?

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

"Well, can he?　"Can you go?

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

　When I threw a few words at him, he naturally understood and let out a cry, as if to inspire himself.

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

"I think I can make it.

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

"We're running out of time. Come on, let's go."

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

　I take Bullyn and Rose out of the stable.

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

　For some reason, I am excited to be training for the first time in a long time.

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

　......... Am I being trained?

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

I'm being trained?

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

"Okay, Usato. Run with the bull...... phosphorus on your back."

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

"Yes?"

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

　I was curious as to why he was reluctant to mention Bullyn's name, but I was more interested in the other part of the story.

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

　Why were you carrying him and not running with him?

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

"Don't talk back to me, we're going to run with the burin on top of the weights."

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

And the weights?

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

"Of course not.　The bear is a little heavier than a man, so it's just right. It's a simulation exercise to simulate a real battle. Pretend the bear is a person in need of rescue and keep running. Don't cut any corners, just like in a real fight."

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

"...... huh, I understand. ......"

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

　Wear a vest-like jacket with weights.

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

　I lift it up as if I were carrying a burin, feeling the nostalgic weight of it on my body.

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

　It's light at all, I can do this.

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

"Are you okay?　"Burin?"

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

　Bullein lightly slaps me on the head.

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

　I felt a warm sensation as my upper body was wrapped in his soft fur.

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

　I sit down in the shade of a tree and call out to Rose, who has pulled out a thick book.

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

"Hmph, Commander, I'll show you the combination of me and Bulrin!

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

"Stop talking nonsense and get moving!"

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

　Rose's tone of voice was clearly irritated, and I sensed that this was not a good idea, so I leaned forward slightly and started to run.

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

　The route we take is through the woods around the training grounds where we usually practice.

　The route is through the woods around the training grounds where we always practice.

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

　...... I feel light. Did survival life in the forest strengthen my body? Or are my muscles and bones toughened by the effects of the rapid healing from the fight with the snake?

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

"That's a cartoonish story, isn't it?

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

"Guh?"

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

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was talking about this."

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

　While running, the healing magic is deployed like a thin film covering the entire body.

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

　It is less effective than when concentrated, but it is able to heal universally according to the strength of its magic. Without it, I would not have been able to keep up with Rose's training.

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

　I have been running at a constant speed for about two hours since I started, and I still do not feel tired. I am conserving my magical energy, in fact, I would not be able to stay here if I were to make any noise at this rate.

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

"I can still go ......"

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

　It had been about four hours since we started running.

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

　After that time, I began to feel some discomfort in my body.

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

　My legs felt heavy and I could hardly breathe. I still had enough strength, but something was preventing my body from moving.

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

"......"

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

　My back is shaking with worry, but I can't react to it.

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

　My body gets heavier and heavier, and I run slower and slower. When the sun was just overhead, I finally fell down on the spot and lay down on my back after setting Bulrin down.

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

"Huh, huh, huh ...... what the ...... is this ......?"

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

　Before you know it, you are running out of magic.

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

　If it only restores fatigue, it should keep even after half a day of use. .......

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

　As I was lying on my back, Rose, who was reading a book in the shade of a tree, came up to me and looked into my face.

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

"Do you understand?　That's how strong you are, assuming you can carry a person on your back."

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

"Assuming ...... you did?"

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

"The human body is a funny thing, the degree of fatigue depends on the stress. Even emotions like tension, fear, and frustration can cause fatigue in the human body. Assuming that the burin you are carrying is a human being, you will surely run out of strength in a shorter time than usual when you are running normally on the battlefield.

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

"Then what do I do?"

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

"Get used to it. Or develop the mentality and judgment not to be intimidated. We're going to start this training today. Here!

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

　Rose puts her green-lit hand on my head.

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

　A warm glow envelops me, and at the same time, the fatigue leaves my body. I may not regain my magic, but I can recover enough to stand on my own.

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

"Thank you very much."

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

"For now, try to recover your magic. We'll do the same this afternoon."

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

　...... What a caring guy this guy is.

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

　I heard he stayed in the forest while I was in the forest instead of going back to his kingdom.

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

　Also, he loves animals.

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

"The Commander is ......"

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

"Hmm?"

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

You're a tsundere, aren't you?

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

What's that word?

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

"No, it's nothing."

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

　I decided to keep these words to myself, since it would be bad for them to be known.

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

"...... is fine, go for a run around the castle and the castle town this afternoon."

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

"...... what?　You mean, with a burin on your back?"

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

"What else is there?"

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

　Wouldn't that attract too much attention?
