　After I left Olga, I ran around the castle town and then headed toward the castle to run around the castle as Rose had told me.

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

　On the way, I attracted a lot of attention, but as soon as they saw what I was wearing, they looked at me with a look of dismay.

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

　Is it safe to assume that the odd behavior of the lifeguards has become a regular occurrence?

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

　I wonder where they mean by "around the castle". Personally, I would like to run inside the castle, but with Bulrin riding on my back, I don't think we can enter the castle so easily.

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

　With this in mind, I run around the castle and reach the entrance to the castle from the castle wall.

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

　I didn't have time to look at it when Rose kidnapped me and took me out of the castle, but I knew that the door protecting the castle is very massive.

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

　I am intimidated by the power of the door and walk up to the place where the guard is.

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

　The guard looks at me with a wary expression for a moment, but then changes his expression when he sees what I am wearing.

"Are you Usato-dono of the rescue team?"

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

"Yes, but ......"

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

　You're a cheerful guy.

What brings you here today?

"I'd like to go inside the castle walls. ...... Do you think it's safe for her to go in?"

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

　I'm going to ask him if he can get into the castle.

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

"It's a blue grizzly bear cub. Master Rose has already given us permission, so it should be no problem!

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

"Yes!　You allow monsters on the castle grounds?

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

"I'm sure it won't be a problem, since Master Rose has guaranteed their safety.

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

　When did Rose get permission ...... after I returned to the kingdom?

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

　If she got permission to let Bulrin into the castle in the process of writing the report, she might have expected me to take Bulrin to the castle.

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

　Besides, this man trusts me. Who the hell is Rose?

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

　I don't know anything about her except that she's the head of the Rescue Mission.

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

Is it okay if I join you?

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

"Yes, you may. Please, come in."

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

　With Bullyn on his back, he enters the castle grounds through the open door.

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

　If ...... he should attack anyone in the castle, I will do everything in my power to stop him.

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

Don't get violent, okay?

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

G~!"

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

You're a bit of a dawdler, aren't you, boy? Do you really know what you're doing?"

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

　Bulrin is completely relaxed on my back.

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

　From the look of him, I don't think we have much to worry about.

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

　We do not go inside the castle, but run around the grounds. My destination is the training grounds of the castle. I have never been there, but I vaguely remember some of the features of the training grounds from what Kazuki and the others have told me.

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

"I heard it's a big open space.

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

　I feel like giving myself a hard time for relying on such a thing, but unfortunately this is the only clue I have, so I have no choice but to bear with it.

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

　At any rate, if we go around the castle, we can find most of them. With this in mind, I find a large open space ahead of me.

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

　Perhaps that is the training ground.

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

　There were many knights training with wooden swords in the training area. The scene was very impressive, probably because the battle with the Demon King's army was coming soon.

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

　As I approach the training ground and look around the whole training ground, I catch a sight of a dark-haired girl standing at the edge of the field.

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

　Is that Inukami-senpai?

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

"Inukami-senpai!

　I, Suzune Inukami, am currently developing a special move.

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

　A special move is literally a technique that kills. It is called "Hisshikara" which means "must kill" in Japanese. Since the training of magic has been roughly completed, I decided to polish up my technique.

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

　However, it is nonsense to say "special move" if it is just a simple thunderbolt, it is no different from ordinary ones.

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

　I hear that boys are more knowledgeable about such things, but I can't rely on Kazuki. He doesn't care about such things.

"Hmm?"

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

　I haven't heard that voice in a long time.

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

　I turn toward the voice and see my other friend, Usato, who came to this world, running toward me.

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

　My body stiffens like a stone at the sight of him.

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

　On Usato's back was a blue bear.

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

"Usato, is that bear on your back ......?"

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

"Oh, he is the cub of a demon called a blue grizzly bear. It's a quiet one and won't attack people, okay?

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

　With these words, Usato lowers the bear to the ground and strokes its head while crouching down.

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

　I wonder why Usato is with a demon child.

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

"Actually, I was living for about 10 days in a forest full of monsters. After all that happened, this child took to me and followed me.

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

"Oh, I didn't know that. That's why I couldn't see you when I went to the lifeguard station.

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

　In a forest full of monsters, it is tempting to ask for more information. But I don't think we should ask too many questions.

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

　I am more interested in why he came here.

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

"Did he come to see me today?"

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

"Kazuki and my senpai came over to my side before, so I decided to stop by here on my way to training. ......?　Kazuki is not here?"

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

　I asked him a question as a prank, but he brushed off my question.

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

　A little shocked, I answer his question.

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

"Kazuki-kun went out of the kingdom earlier today to gain experience in fighting monsters. Maybe he and Usato have crossed paths?"

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

"Oh, I see. ...... And what about you, senpai?"

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

I'm not going to let both of you brave souls leave the kingdom, so I'm staying at home. I'm not worried about Kazuki, Sigurth is with me. Celia's been in a bad mood since Kazuki's absence this morning, though.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, that's tough, but it's good to know that you don't have to worry if you have someone to accompany you."

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

　When I said this, Usato-kun let out a breath of relief.

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

　Hmmm, you are very considerate of your friends.

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

　But you know what I'm still wondering..,

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

"Grrr~"

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

"Hmm?　Are you getting sleepy already, Bulrin? You're not tired at all since you've hardly moved at all. ......"

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

　This bear.

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

　A bear in the wild. I've never seen anything like it before, but in the flesh, it's very cute. It reminds me of the pandas I saw when I was a child.

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

　According to one theory, bears are considered to be ferocious creatures, and are viewed as objects of fear by the general public. But the bear lying in front of me, sleepily rubbing its eyes, is not an object of fear.

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

　No, let me assure you, it is cute.

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

"Usato-kun, may I touch it?

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

"Don't make such a loud voice. You scared me.

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 was so excited.

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

　I must suppress it more!

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

"It's okay if you touch me. If you get bitten, I'll fix it.

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

"If you get bit.　That's a scary thing to say. ......"

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

　But I got my word.

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

　I put my hands out in front of me with my heart pounding.

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

　How fortuitous it is to be in contact with animals in another world.

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

　Just as my hand comes close to the bear's head, ---- it slaps my hand away.

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

　What is this emptiness? It's like I've ruined the moment I've been waiting for.

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

　As I stare in dismay at my hand being knocked off, Usato-kun speaks to me awkwardly.

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

He's shy!"

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

"I'm not depressed!　I'm just a little excited by the momentary contact!

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

Don't think like me!

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

　I envy you, Usato. ......!

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

Yes, that's right. If you call his name, he'll be less cautious and let you touch him!

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

"Well then, what's his name?"

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

"I'm Bullring."

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

　Bull......lin?

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

　Is that a name?　...... is a nice name. It's tasteful.

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

　Surely, to get to know each other, we should call each other by our names to make each other less cautious. I put my hand out in front of me and call out his name in the brightest voice I have ever heard.

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

"Come on, Bulrin!"

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

"Kaboom!"

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

　Bullyn bites my hand. It was a sweet bite, so there was no blood, but I got drool all over my freed hand.

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

　Usato, is this how Bulrin is hiding his embarrassment?　My hand is warm.

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

"Hey, Usato, do you know what a bear pot is?"

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

"No, you don't!"

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

　I'm kidding.

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

　He wipes his drool-stained hands with a handkerchief and looks at Bulrin.

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

　d*mn, if I were a conventional heroine, I'd have animals like me... ......

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

"Maybe you have a dirty mind..."

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

"Hmm, then why don't you touch it, Usato-kun?"　

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

"Okay. I'll show you the bond between me and Bulrin, right Bulrin?

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

"Gulp!"

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

　Since Bulrin bit him, we can assume that you, Usato, have a dirty mind, too.

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

　But, despite being bitten by Bulrin, Usato is smiling. His bitten hand seems to be a little reddish, but I don't mind.

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

　This must be Usato-kun's love too. ......

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

　After a while, Usato pulled his hand out of Burlyn's mouth and turned to me with a cool look on his face. I wonder if it hurts?

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

"By the way, senpai, what were you doing here?"

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

"You're so abrupt. ......

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

Training?

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

　What am I going to do? I can't tell them I was thinking of a special move.

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

　If it were known that I was worrying about such a thing while Usato was seriously training, I would lose all face as a senior student.

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

"Well, I was training in magic.

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

"I didn't know that. Since you are my senior, I thought you were thinking of some original technique or something.

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

　Usato, are you an esper?

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

　Have I done something so careless that you would think so?

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

　But this is a good opportunity to casually ask for a hint of the technique.

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

　I pose the question to Usato-kun. Usato-kun looks at me with a quizzical expression, but he answers my question with a determined attitude.

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

　After about ten minutes of conversation, Usato stands up as if he had just remembered and walks over to Bulrin.

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

"Well, I'd better get going."

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

"Oh, you're leaving already?"

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

"I have a training session. I'll be back. Come on, Bulrin, don't sleep, get up .......

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

　Usato lifts up Bulrin and carries him on his back.

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

　Even though he is a child, he is growing up ...... to be able to lift a big giant with ease.

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

　I feel a little sad to see him go, but I don't have to be so pessimistic because I can go back to him again.

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

"Good luck, Usato-kun."

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

"Yes, please do your best to come up with some good tricks."

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

See you later.

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

　Before he can say anything back, Usato runs out of the training hall.

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

　......Totally, you've got me by the horns. Well, I guess they'll notice if I keep asking the same question over and over again.

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

"Well, I'll try a little harder."

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

　But I wonder if you have noticed that Usato-kun is becoming more and more frank with me.

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

　Well, never mind, it's nothing to worry about and I don't feel bad about it.
