　Plains. A dangerous place with many monsters.

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

　It is in such a place that the Royal Army has set up camp. Of course, as a rescue mission, we set up a kind of clinic there. A simple bed on a wagon, a kind of tent with a roof that can be erected by putting up a post, and other things. We have brought most of what we thought would be useful.

　But I asked Bulrin to stay behind. If there was a conflict, he might be attacked by his allies.

　It was dusk, and I was sitting in a chair in the lifeguard clinic while the soldiers took turns keeping watch. The wooden chair is not very comfortable, but I shouldn't worry too much.

　There is nothing to do.

　Rose is at Sigurth's and Tong and the others are sleeping. Olga and Uluru are with the soldiers.

　Those tough guys are sleeping peacefully when they don't know when the Demon Lord's army is coming.... What's this? They're resting in case of emergency.

　Rose told me to take a rest too.

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

　I don't know what "rest" means.

　I know I'm thinking crazy things. But when I think about it, have I ever intentionally rested since I came to this world? No, I don't.

　I fell asleep during training, I fell asleep when I was thrown into the forest, and I didn't take a specific break when I came to the forest with Inukami-senpai.

　And even on the first day off I got, I hardly feel like I rested.

　In my original world, I could have immediately answered that taking a rest meant slacking off, playing games, and sleeping. I wonder how much I have become accustomed to this world.

Excuse me!

"Yeah?"

　A man in armor comes into the tent. I can tell by his cheerful voice that he is the guard. He is the one who found me and Inukami-senpai.

"Oh, Usato-dono! Where are the others?"

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

"He's not here right now, okay? The Commander will be back in a little while. ......"

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

"No, I came here to tell you something!"

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

　The guard, straightening his back, bowed toward us.

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

　I wonder what he means by "something." ...... Is it something important?

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

"I, Alc Girdle, have been entrusted with the responsibility of escorting the lifeguard in this battle! I will protect you even if it costs me my life!

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

"......, yes, thank you. Mr. Aruk ......"

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

　He is a good man after all.

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

　You can tell by his actions, not his sentiments. This place could be the first target of the enemy, and I wanted to leave it in the hands of someone I could trust if possible.

"I'm in the middle of a fight, I'm going into battle too. So I need my people to help me."

"Leave it to ourselves! Then I'll take the watch!

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

Good luck."

　Mr. Aruk takes a final bow before exiting the tent. Well, he was a very energetic person until the end, I hope he doesn't get injured in this battle.

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

　I look at the exit from which Mr. Aruk went out for a while, and then I sit back in my chair again and take a rest. It might be said that I'm not so easy to relax before the battle, but for me, doing nothing is the best thing to do. As they say, "idle time is not idle time". I guess this moment is like a "vacation" for me.

　I stare up at the sky for a while, and then someone comes into the tent again.

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

　The person who entered the tent with his beautiful long black hair shaking ...... Inukami-senpai looks at me, smiles a cool smile, and comes closer to me.

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

"Hello, Usato-kun."

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

"Hello, Inukami-senpai."

　The senior who approached me was clad in shining white and silver armor. It was a type of light armor that seemed to emphasize ease of movement.

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

　He noticed my gaze and turned his chest proudly.

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

"Hmm, is this it? This is. ...... want to know? You want to know, don't you?"

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

"Okay."

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

"You'll want to know. Then I'll tell you! Special!!!!"

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

　Are you listening to people?

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

"This armor is enchanted to support my lightning magic! And on top of that, it's made in such a way that it doesn't impede my movement!"

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

"You look happy."

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

Of course!

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

　He's so distorted.

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

　It's a little ...... depressing to see him brag like a child.

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

"Hmm, how's that ---- going?"

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

"You don't have girl power, do you?"

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

"What ...... are you talking about?"

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

"But it's unthinkable for a normal girl to be happy to receive a suit of armor.

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

"No,...... it's not, Usato-kun,...... I like pretty things too!"

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

　I know that.

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

　You have been trying very hard to get in touch with Berlin. But you were knocked down and sometimes almost crushed.

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

Yes! It's your fault, Usato, for taking all the healings!

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

"Yes! Is it my fault!"

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

"So why don't you be my healer!"

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

"I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you mean."

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

　What's with that "If not Bullyn, there's always Usato" quote modification?

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

　He gets up slowly from his chair and moves away from Inukami, feeling fear for some reason as Inukami comes closer and closer to him.

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

"I think it's because it's before the fight!

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

"I don't think so."

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

"Stubborn! But I will not back down today, Usato!"

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

"I'm not pushing or pulling from the beginning."

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

"Hmmm, I know what I'm talking about! That's your shy ...... I mean tsk tsk!"

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

　I don't know why he's not running wild, but if you look closely, you can see that his eyes are out of focus.

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

　But he is conscious, and that's what's so bad. It's just like you said, Inukami-senpai. ......

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

"Calm down, senpai. You're not right now.

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

There's nothing funny about that.

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

"...... are you okay?"

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

　Oh no, something is seriously wrong.

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

　I wonder if Inukami-senpai was also scared of this battle. Or is it wrong if he didn't? Even Inukami-senpai is a high school girl in her former world. Even though she was acting tough on the surface, she must have been quite scared inside.

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

"I'm hoping for a situation where I can get a hold of Usato-kun who resists reluctantly.

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

"No, you're wrong. You're crazy from the start.

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

　Oh, he's not afraid in the slightest. He's definitely broken. He must have left some screws in his head back in his own world.

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

"I told you, I'm not crazy."

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

"...... understand. All right, let's stop right there. People are talking creatures. Let's have a dialogue.

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

　Even Inukami-senpai is the student body president who embodied seriousness in his former world. I'm sure he'll talk calmly.

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

　You see, even now, after making a slightly distressed movement ----

"Sometimes you have to use brute force."

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

"Kazukiiiiiii!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

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

　I have to call for help right now ....... I can't find anything to beat Inukami-senpai other than his arm strength and physical strength. Calling Rose would be a bit pathetic, so I call Kazuki, who is another way to counter him.

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

　If you can hear my voice, please help me. My friend Kazuki.

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

"Usato, what's wrong?

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

"You're really here!"

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

　Kazuki, clad in heavy armor unlike Inukami-senpai, comes into the tent with a bloodthirsty look on his face. I was impressed by his speed.

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

　Kazuki spots Inukami-senpai and points at her as if he has finally found her.

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

"......! Inukami-senpai! You were here! I've been looking for you! Sigurth-san said to gather for a strategy meeting. ......"

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

"Don't worry, I'll be there as soon as I get my hands on Mr. Usato."

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

"What are you talking about?"

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

　Is this guy trying to hide it?

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

　Kazuki, too, is puzzled and tilts his head.

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

"Inukami-senpai's in a panic right now! Take him away now, Kazuki!"

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

"I don't know what it is, but ...... that's what Usato said! I get it!!!!"

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

　So how much influence do my words have in Kazuki's mind? But nice call on your part," Kazuki said as he strangled Inukami-senpai and dragged her out of the tent.

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

"Hmm, I guess you're the biggest obstacle! Let go of me, Mr. Kazuki!"

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

What are you doing?

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

　You're right, Kazuki. What are you really doing, Inukami-senpai?

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

　Don't look at me like you're trying to help me.

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

Hanase~!

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

Well, goodbye, Usato!

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

"Thanks, Kazuki."

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

　Inukami-senpai left like a storm. I should be thankful to Kazuki, even though there was no way I would have been able to ...... hold Inukami-senpai back by sheer force.

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

　He's not a bad guy. We get along surprisingly well, and he doesn't have a bad personality. In fact, I like him because he is not too perfect.

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

　But I don't know why he wants me, I don't know why he likes me, and I don't remember having a clear flag with him like in some gal-games. I don't have the conversation skills or the energy to do so.

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

"Hmm, I don't know."

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

　The case is a cold case.

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

　Well, I don't have time to think about such frivolous matters now. We don't know exactly how long we have to wait for the people who are scouting to come back before we can fight.

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

　We have to stay strong. But Rose said. The time when the Demon Lord's army will build the bridge and come pouring in here will probably be...

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

"Tomorrow morning at ......."

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

　We have to be ready.
