　This is the second time I visited the castle town.

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

　There were many shadows of people on the street, so we had to slow down.

　Rose told us to get used to running among people.

　However, running through the city with a bullring on your back attracts a lot of attention.

　Normally, people in town would be intimidated by the presence of this monster, but for some reason, they didn't seem intimidated at all, on the contrary, they looked at me with a "here we go again" expression.

Why aren't they making such a fuss? Hey, Burlyn?"

　From the outside, I look like a strange boy wearing a funny vest over my training uniform and carrying a big bear on my back.

　I would definitely call the police.

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

　I am aware that I am so strange that I would think so myself.

"Well, it's okay if he doesn't make a fuss. I can concentrate better that way."

　The castle town is quite big, and having been here only once, I am forced to run along the main street with people instead of the small alleys. If I get lost, I can just use the big castle as a landmark.

　But there are many stores. I wonder if that fruit is a specialty, judging from the many fruits that I brought up to Berlin in the morning. I'll ask Tong later.

　When I passed by here before, I looked at this place with a blank stare, but I could also smell the fragrance wafting through the air.

　As I run through the stalls, I see that there are many different kinds of food sold here and there, each with its own unique shape and form.

　But what is it anyway?

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

　The voices I've been hearing... They sound like they're getting closer and closer, and then they're moving away. Maybe it's because I'm running, but it's strange that they're getting closer.

　Is it calling for someone?

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

　I wonder and turn around..,

<<......geh......hahahah......wait, you there>>

　A skinny man lying on the ground, about 10 meters away, as if he had run out of energy.

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

　I am stunned by the scene before me, but then I hear the sound of a bullfinches behind me, and I come to my senses and walk toward the prone man.

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

　I put my palm on the man's back and pour healing magic into him.

"Are you all right, ......?"

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

"Kehach ...... finally ...... noticed you ......."

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

　This guy wants something from me.

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

　I cast a healing spell and raise myself up. The skinny man gets up apologetically, his face turning blue. He has beautiful blond hair and is quite good looking, but the shadows and sand on his face make him look very sorry.

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

　He still looks sick, so for now he stops at the end of the main street. I make him sit on a wooden box that is left there.

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

"How are you feeling?"

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

"Oh, no, I'm sorry. ......"

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

"No need to thank me. What do you want from me?"

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

　The man, whose face has regained some of its animation, barks his head in embarrassment.

"No~, I just wanted to say hello to my junior. I couldn't help chasing after him.

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

"Juniors are ......."

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

"Huh?　Didn't the Commander tell you?"

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

　Juniors?　The only senior people I can think of in this world are my fellow tongs in the lifeguard squad.

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

　Those tough guys don't deserve to be called seniors, so I wouldn't nominate them.

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

　Then there's this guy at .......

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

"He's the only one who uses healing magic besides me and the group leader!"

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

"Ha-ha-ha, Commander. You didn't tell us much about us, did you? Then let me introduce myself. I'm Olga Fleur, 23 years old. Please feel free to call me Olga.

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

My name is Usato. I am a new member of the rescue team. It's nice to meet you, Olga-san.

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

　This man is a healer like me.

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

　From what Rose told me, he is not in charge of the front line, but of logistics support.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your training. I was walking here to get some medicine and saw a lifeguard carrying a blue grizzly bear on his back. ....... And he didn't look familiar, so I thought maybe he was the new guy I asked about."

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

"So that's what it was. ...... hmm? How did you know I was from the lifeguard squad?"

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

　I know he thought I was a strange man with a bear on his back, but he couldn't have known that I was a member of the lifeguard squad.

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

　How did they know?

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

"Ha-ha-ha, that's the outfit you're wearing. That training uniform is a special one that only members of the lifeguard corps are allowed to wear. See the red embroidery on it?

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

"What?　...... Oh, that's right."

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

　A red flower is sewn into the thigh of his pants.

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

　I hadn't paid attention to it before, but I guess Olga saw it and decided that I was a member of the rescue team.

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

"And by the way, we often get tongs running around here," she said. The townspeople are used to seeing them.

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

"I see, that's why I wasn't too surprised to see me and Bulrin ......."

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

"I was a bit taken aback by the blue grizzly kids, though. ...... haha."

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

　If there were a bunch of guys that dense running around town, I wouldn't make much of an impact with a bear on my back. Well, all mysteries are solved.

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

　I pat the head of Bulrin, who is looking at me curiously, and turn my attention to Olga.

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

　He smiles, looks at me and opens his mouth.

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

"I'm still surprised. I never thought I could keep up with you. We couldn't keep up with you at all.

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

"No, no, I was desperate too. ...... hmm?　When you say "we", you mean the other one who can use healing magic ......, right?"

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

"Yes, she's my sister, five years younger than me. We don't train together, but we run a clinic.

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

　We are siblings who use healing magic. I guess magical aptitude runs in the family.

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

"Yes, brother and sister. ......"

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

"But we're still a rescue squad. In case of emergency, we treat the wounded under the command of the Commander.

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

　I see, instead of training, we open a clinic in the castle town, and when war breaks out, we will be in the rear to heal our allies. He's got a lot on his mind, doesn't he?

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

But if Olga is a healing magician like me, why didn't she heal herself when she chased after me?

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

"Can't you heal yourself, Olga-san?"

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

"Ah, that's the thing, I'm not good at healing my own injuries. On the other hand, I am very good at healing others, but I couldn't keep up with the Commander's training because of my physical weakness. ...... My sister is another reason."

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

"I didn't know that. ......"

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

　There seems to be a difference between what magic can do and what it cannot do.

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

　Olga and his sister, I would like to visit their clinic when I have time.

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

　I stand up, carrying Burlin on my back.

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

"Well, I'd better get back to my training. Then I'd better go back to training.

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

"I'm sorry for interrupting you, Usato-kun."

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

"No, no, it was nice talking to you too, Olga-san."

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

　We can't rest too long.

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

　I'm sure they won't be mad at me if I tell them why, but I just want to take my training seriously.

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

"Oh, I have one last question."

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

　Olga-san calls out to me and I turn around. There is Olga-san with a serious expression on her face, not the smiling face I saw earlier.

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

"I don't want you to hate Rose-san too much. He's pretty rough, but he's kind of ...... clumsy, so ......"

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

　Here, when he called "Mr. Rose" instead of "Mr. Commander," he must have meant Rose as an individual, not Rose as a commander.

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

　Then the answer is obvious.

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

It is all right. I don't hate you from the beginning!　Maybe some other time!"

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

　He was a strict, rough, and devilish leader, but somehow I couldn't hate him.

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

　Although I wanted to express a grudge or two against him for dropping me in the forest, it was a good thing that I could not see Bulrin if I had not gone to the forest.

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

　I'm sorry about the Grand Grizzly though. ...... But it scares me to think if that snake had left the forest and attacked this kingdom.

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

".........It would have been a good thing in that sense."

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

　He turns around and starts running.

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

　Let's go around to the castle next, where Kazuki and his senpai would be at this time of the day. It's been a while since I've seen them.

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

　I'm going to go to ......, but I don't think it's a good idea to take Bulrin inside the castle.

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

I'm sure he'll be fine.

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

　As I watch the boy running away with the blue grizzly bear cub on his back, I am lost in thought.

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

"I can't believe that the same type of healing wizard as the Commander was a boy like that. ......"

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

　Not sharp like me, but a well-balanced healer. In fact, the healing spells he cast on me had a perfect effect.

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

　I'm still in my twenties, but I'm getting a little emotional.

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

　I look up at the sky as I sit on the wooden box that Usato has prepared for me.

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

"So you finally found it, Commander. ...... You won't be the only one on the next battlefield."

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

　Looks like my sister's here.

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

　You don't have to look so desperate just because you're worried about her. ....... She's a real pain in the ass.

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

"Big brother!　Are you dying to go out alone?

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

"I'm not that frail!"

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

"What?　You're my brother!"

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

　What, don't you think you're being too harsh by making it sound like I'm a poor person?

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

　No, no, no, don't worry about that too much, I have to tell my lovely sister about today's new encounter.

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

"I met an interesting girl today," she said.

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

"Yeah?"

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

You should meet him.

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

　I'm sure things will get interesting from now on.
