Hey, wake up.

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

"Huh?"

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

　The morning after I was fed a ghoulish substance by Mir and Gomul.

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

　I was awakened by someone. Well, in this case, it would be more accurate to say that I was kicked awake rather than knocked awake.

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

　As I fell out of bed and groaned, I turned my eyes toward the assailant who had disturbed my sleep, and there was Rose, a beautiful green-haired woman, looking down at me with folded arms and grim eyes.

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

"What's going on? ...... It's still dark outside. ......"

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

"Get dressed, I'll tell you what happened later."

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

　After saying this, he immediately walks out the door.

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

　Ah, you're a stormy one. .......

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

　With a foggy head, I finish getting dressed.

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

　I know that if I resist too much, I'll provoke his anger, and I don't want to end up like Mil and Gomul did yesterday.

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

"I have to get out of here. ......"

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

　After putting on my training clothes, I leave my room and head toward the entrance to the dormitory.

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

　At the entrance I see Rose with her arms crossed.

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

　Rose finds me and throws a square object at me.

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

　Is this a backpack?　It's smaller than the last one.

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

"Take it."

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

"What?　I'm a little confused about the situation. ......"

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

"I just received word from Master Lloyd that you are to accompany the brave men in their training."

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

　What about .........?

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

"No, the brave ones are ...... Inukami-senpai and Kazuki, right?"

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

"Kazuki the Brave has already gone to train outside of the country, in the same way as you. You will be accompanied by Inukami the Brave.

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

　Training outside the country with my senpai?　Why weren't you and Sigurth there when I was ...... Kazuki? I think we should leave it to them.

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

　As if sensing my question, Rose sighs and restrains her forehead.

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

"......I was notified to accompany you to the training of the brave Kazuki as soon as you returned from the forest,...... but it would be unreasonable to send you there when you were mentally exhausted from fighting that snake,....... I refused. So yesterday, Kazuki the Brave came back, and now it's Inukami's turn. Well, I turned down that offer yesterday too,...... but if Lloyd-sama asks me again and again, I have no choice but to fold."

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

　That's why you looked so tired yesterday. .......

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

　Well, it's obvious that I'm a liability after returning from the forest. I should be thankful for Rose's concern.

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

　...... so you're going out with Inukami-senpai and the soldiers of the kingdom.

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

"I see you understand the general situation. Then let's head for the gate.

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

"Yes, I understand. ...... Oh, and Bulrin is ......"

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

You can take him if you want."

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

　It's still dark outside.

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

　I'm going to the stable to pick up Bulrin, it's a chance to get outside and give him some exercise, which he hasn't been getting enough of lately.

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

"Hey, wake up, Bullyn."

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

"Guffaw~"

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

"Whoa, he's not getting up. Oh, for God's sake, get up and walk!

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

　He moves the backpack to the front, not to the back, and puts Bulrin on his back. He sleeps so comfortably ...... that my back is a special seat for him.

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

　I get out of the stable and head for the gate leading out of the kingdom with Rose, while screaming at Bulrin for not waking up.

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

I was so excited to see her.

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

　After passing through the castle town, which is not very popular due to the early morning, Rose and I arrive at the door leading out of the kingdom. There we see Inukami-senpai and two soldiers standing near her.

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

"...... isn't that you, Usato-kun?"

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

　In addition to Inukami-senpai, there was a cheerful guard whom she had met in front of the castle and a man with a robe over his head.

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

　The cheerful one was a man with short red hair, giving a fresh impression.

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

　The other was a taciturn man with slightly long bangs who was wrapped in a black robe. They look suspicious, but I decide that they are the ones who are in charge of the escort.

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

"No way, the last person to follow me is ......."

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

Maybe it's me.

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

　If I am the last, that means there will be four members including me.

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

　Not too many, not too few, just the right number.

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

　Rose looks around at everyone including me, and then turns to Mr. Thomas, the guard protecting the door from us ---- or so, and asks him to open the door.

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

　Naturally, Mr. Thomas is frightened but opens the door.

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

"Go on," he says.

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

"Don't you have something more to say ......?"

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

"Hmm?　You want me to say something?"

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

　...... is good.

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

　Rose smiles a nice smile and shrugs her shoulders.

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

"...... your teacher is a tough guy."

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

　Inukami-senpai muttered a small, sorry sound, and my shoulders slumped as I walked through the gates and out of the kingdom.

"How was Kazuki?"

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

"I think he had a pretty hard time. He is not used to this type of competition, and he has been sleeping since yesterday.

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

"I hope you're okay. ......"

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

　We, four of us and one animal, walked out of the Lingle Kingdom on a cleared road, exchanging some light chit-chat.

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

　We were told that there are not many monsters around here, and that we would not be attacked unless we had a serious problem. In fact, Rose and I were not attacked.

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

　The two guards walk in front of us, ready to respond to any monster attack at any time. They are knights, I must say, and their concentration is extraordinary. I can see that they have the ability to take me lightly.

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

"...... will not Burlyn wake up?"

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'm asking if there's any chance of that happening."

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

　What is this senpai saying out of the blue? ...... I look at him with cold eyes as he wriggles his hands and breathes heavily.

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

"I'm not awake. ......

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

　The moment I said that, Inukami-senpai reached for Bulrin's head with blinding speed.

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

　A sudden attack(?). I reflexively swat his hand away with my right hand.

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

　Inukami-senpai holds his own hand and looks incredulous.

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

　It happened in a few seconds.

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

"Why?

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

No, that's my line. No, that's my line. >>I'm the one who asked "Why? Why did you suddenly and reflexively knock him off?

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

"You slap a girl's hand and you're so discouraged. ...... Well, you're awake!"

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

　What for?

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

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm not sure what to make of it either.

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

　Oh my God, he's finally awake....

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

　I call out to the two guards walking in front of me and set him down on the ground.

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

"Walk like a man, will you?

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

"Goo!"

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

　Sighing as he staggers along on his quadrupedal steps.

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

　He soon wakes up and is able to walk normally, so I tell the two guards that he is fine and ask them to move forward.

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

　But then..,

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

"Bulrin, I'll ...... carry you on my back!　Come on, come on!"

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

　No, really, you-- Oh, no!　The blue grizzly is a huge bear, and I'd say his cub, Bulrin, weighs as much as any wild bear living in Japan, which is to say, as much as two grown men.

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

　In addition to that, he is so sleepy right now that he could have mistaken me for him and fallen onto Inukami-senpai's back...

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

"Geez. ----"

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

"Sen-sen-pai?"

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

　I thought I just heard a voice that didn't sound like a flower girl in high school, but I'll forget it.

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

　But I'll forget about it. I have to rescue Inugami-senpai, who is about to be crushed by Bulrin, as soon as possible...!

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

"No, I'm sorry, Usato-kun. I thought I had a chance.

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

"I don't know what you think you're taking a chance on, but please don't get hurt when you're not fighting."

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

　He hurriedly retreated from the burin and rescued his seniors.

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

　He was tougher than I expected, but he might have injuries on bones, internal organs, and other parts of his body that I couldn't see, so I cast a healing spell on him as I went on my way.

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

"Suzune-sama, are you all right ......?"

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

"I'm fine, and Usato-kun is with me. Wow, you look amazing, I feel so much lighter.

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

"Huh~"

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

　The magic is exercised while placing a hand on the senior's shoulder, there is no ulterior motive, not even the slightest.

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

　Rather, it is more of a sense of dismay. ......I thought I was a perfect person in my original world, but how did I end up like this? How did I come to be this way when I was a perfect human being in my original world? Or have I really gone crazy? Maybe the real senior is this way: .......

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

"Things are not as they used to be. Hey, Bullyn.

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's cute.

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

　Inukami-senpai seems to be okay, so I take my hand off his shoulder.

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

　...... I didn't ask you where we're going.

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

Excuse me.

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

　The guard turns at the sound of my voice.

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

　He must be a very skilled man, since he is in charge of such an important place as the entrance to the castle. With this in mind, I ask him about our destination.

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

"Where are you going now?"

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

"Near the plains, where there are many monsters. There are a lot of monsters there because it is near the forest that is said to be the Darkness of Lingle.

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

　The monsters that come out of the forest where Rose threw me out.

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

　When I was in the forest, I mostly ran away from them or passed them by. I didn't run into too many monsters, but that forest is pretty big, so there must have been a lot of monsters there.

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

How long will it take you to get there?

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

"Well, we should be there by ...... noon or so."

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

　At this pace, unlike the time in Rose, we're four people and one dog. It is only natural that our steps would be slow. .......

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

　However, from this route, I guess we will pass near the forest. ...... It's only been a few days, but I feel a little nostalgic.

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

　Especially in Burlin----

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

　No, I won't say it.

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

　He followed me because he had something on his mind. I don't have to ask, and I don't think it's worth it. There's no point in digging.

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

　I was looking at Brulin, when suddenly he tapped me on the shoulder and I looked in his direction.

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

　Sure enough, it's Inukami-senpai.

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

"I knew you'd let me touch him..."

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

"Enough, please!"

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

　That's enough. I won't help you if you crush me again.

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

I won't help you if you get crushed again.

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

　We are well on our way, a few hours after leaving the kingdom, and as we approach the forest, two people walking ahead of us suddenly stop in their tracks.

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

"...... lots of reactions ahead."

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

"Demons or ......?"

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

"Something's coming."

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

"It looks like it."

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

　A person in a robe is accurately capturing "something" coming from the front.

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

　Then, a large number of black shadows are coming from the front with a cloud of dust. I am absolutely stunned at the sight of them. They are bipedal creatures, wearing unclean clothes and carrying weapons.

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

"......... Thieves."

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

"It's a bandit!　Both of you, stay back!

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

Mr. Usato!

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

No way. ......

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

　Inukami-senpai's first real opponent was not a demon but a ---- human.
