　Inukami-senpai and I were able to return safely to the kingdom.

　After that, the guard and Bulrin found us, and we joined the search party dispatched from the Lingle Kingdom and returned safely to the Lingle Kingdom.

　The guard felt a strong sense of responsibility for the fact that Inukami-senpai and I had gotten separated, and he and Bulrin worked day and night to find us. The other Mr. Black Robe returned to the kingdom once with the bandits he had caught, and went to report our disappearance.

　I'll have to thank the guard and the black-robed man later.

　After returning to the Kingdom of Lingle, we went to the castle to tell the king that we are safe. I asked the guard to take care of Bulrin. We had become good friends before I knew it. Although someone tried to touch him and got hit back. .......

　When I entered the hall where the king was with Inukami-senpai, there was the king, an old man called Sergio who was with the king when we were summoned, Rose, and Mr. Sigurth.

　There were no guards to protect us. I guess that's how much they trust us.

"Oh ...... Usato ...... Suzune, how, how you are safe and sound ......."

　The king, upon seeing us, lets out a breath of relief and sits down deeply on his throne as if exhausted. If you look closely, you can see a faint shadow under the king's eyes. I guess I made him worry a lot.

　For the time being, I was about to open my mouth to apologize for making him go through all this trouble, but Inukami-senpai spoke up before I could.

I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you.

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

"No, no need to apologize. No need to apologize. I'm sorry about that, Usato. I should have told him to join the training with Suzune. ......"

　King, you are too good a human being.

　I manage to reply to his honest words, though I am still a little hesitant.

"No, I'm ......, I'm fine. I'm kind of used to this kind of thing by now. ......"

"Used to it?"

　If I'm honest here, I could get in trouble.

"Oh, no, it's nothing! I used to go to the forest in my original world!"

　Why did I just defend Rose?

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

　...... You don't think Rose has trained me to a spiritual level?

Suddenly, I look at Rose, and sure enough, there is the matriarch with a wry smile on her face.

　This tremendous sense of defeat. .......

"Usato-kun?"

"It's nothing. ...... Yes, nothing."

　Inukami-senpai can't be distracted.

"...... time, Usato, how is your training at the lifeguard squad going?"

　Here comes the hardest question to answer: ----!

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

　I had managed to fool them earlier, but I didn't expect such a question. ......What are we going to do, I have to admit I'm more on edge than I was when I was dealing with the blue grizzlies. Rose is here too, and depending on how you answer the question, you may have to prepare yourself for what happens next.

"Ju......... is going well, sir."

"Well, ...... I was actually worried about you. "Oh, well, good, ...... good."

　My heart hurts.

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

　The well-meaning heart inside me crushes me with its weight. While I was suffering from a guilty conscience, Mr. Sergio, who was standing next to the king, said something to the king.

"King Lloyd, it's time to ......".

　We ask the king's permission and leave the hall.

　However, Rose was the same as usual,---- but Sergio's and Sigurth's faces were somewhat grim,...... . I could tell by his expression that he was relieved that we were back, but it seemed like he was worried about something else.

"Kazuki ni Celia-sama ......"

　As I was walking with Inukami-senpai through the castle, Kazuki and Celia-sama came running breathlessly ahead of us. I'm sorry I made you worry.

"Long time no see, Kazuki.

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

"It's been a long time! When I woke up, I heard that Usato and my senpai had been attacked by monsters and were missing. ...... I ...... was so worried!"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

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

　I'm really sorry.

　Celia-sama, who had been talking with Inukami-senpai, smiles at our exchange. She is a princess, her every move is so graceful.

"Kazuki-sama ran out of the house when she heard that Suzune-sama and the others were missing, didn't she?

　A senior student teases Kazuki in a way that makes the place lively.

"Inukami-senpai, didn't Little Monkey hate you?"

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

"Yeah, that's ...... a bad idea, Usato-kun!"

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

"Usato, who's a little monkey?"

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

"Actually, ...... Inukamiyak ----"

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

"It's nothing.

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

　Inukami-senpai will cover your mouth. You don't like being exposed that much, do you, senpai? But I'll tell Kazuki casually later.

　Both Kazuki and Celia-sama are tilting their heads at the impatient way he's holding me down. But what did Celia-sama think? After looking at me and Kazuki alternately, she shifted her gaze to Kazuki.

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

"You two are very close."

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

"Indeed it is. ......"

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

　It seems that the princess is mistaken. Kazuki doesn't seem to realize it, but...

　If we don't deny it before he gets on the wrong track and makes things worse, we could end up in trouble.

　In fact, the corners of his mouth twisted into a crescent moon as he held me back.

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

"No, I don't."

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

　I said this, and he backed away as if shocked by my words. No, because ...... you could at least be a little more ...... self-effacing.

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

"Well, that's too bad.

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

　Celia gives a smile that doesn't look regretful at all. I guess girls still love to talk about love even if the world has changed. Not that I'm talking about love, of course!

"Oh, yes, Usato. Rose-san is amazing, isn't she?"

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

"What the heck is that?

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

　I didn't expect Kazuki to mention Rose's name. ...... That man and Kazuki should have almost no connection.

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

　I wait for Kazuki's next words with trepidation. If he says, "I admire you, Mr. Rose, so please let me join the rescue team! If he offered, I would have to stop Kazuki even if it meant knocking him out.

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

"I ran out to go look for Usato and the others, and Rose seized me in front of the castle gate,...... and I really went for it,...... but I couldn't get a hold of her."

"He's so out of his league. ......"

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

　She can easily carry me and Bulrin on her back, and she can sink a snake with a single blow after it has been painstakingly chased to the brink of death. .......

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

　Kazuki is beginning to think of her as a hero, and my expression hardens.

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

　No, no, no, Kazuki,...... she's not a hero, she's a healer, not a healer.
