　Usato's capture of the black knight, the mainstay of the enemy army, had a tremendous impact on the Demon King's army.

　At the same time that the morale of the opponents was lowered, the Kingdom Army, which had been on the ropes, moved to the offensive in one fell swoop.

　Now, I am lending my shoulder to Kazuki-kun, and together with a few soldiers, I am guarding Usato-kun, who is devoting himself to medical treatment. It is a surreal sight to see Usato's black knight restrained by his group uniform on his shoulder, and he is healing the knights at a tremendous speed with a nonchalant look on his face.

Let me ask you something, Usato. Tell me what you did.

"......I understand, but ...... we don't have much time, do we?"

　Usato-kun, who has restrained the black knight without a moment's thought.

　What he did was a simple combat. ---Well, it was a rather crude fight. But the point he was trying to make was anything but simple.

　Usato-kun did not care at all about the black knight's ability.

"Senpai, I didn't do anything particularly difficult ......, I don't even know why I did it. On the contrary, what did I do ......?"

"No, you asked me the opposite: ...... I just saw you punching and kicking ......."

　A black knight with the amazing ability to return any attack to the opponent .

　Its iron-clad defenses and counter-attack capabilities are unparalleled in history, making it a dangerous magic.

　But it was broken by Usato-kun's fist. He himself does not know why he was able to break through the Black Knight's ability. That is why he does not understand how extraordinary he has done.

"No, I hit him with a healing spell, didn't I?"

"...... yeah?"

　Did you hit him while doing the healing ......?

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

"That doesn't make any sense, ...... because in the end, the other person will be healed, too. ......"

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

"Yes, it makes no sense at all. That's why I don't even know why this guy is hurt.

　Usato exhales a sigh as he looks at the black knight who is standing on his shoulder, exclaiming, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

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

　I don't understand the point of healing while hitting in the first place. It is very intriguing that Usato does not want to hurt the other person, but that is not the answer to the question.

　Usato-kun, sensing what I was thinking, continued to spin his words.

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

"Rose told me that if it's enough to knock the opponent unconscious, I can heal him by punching him. I'm a timid person, so I don't like to hurt them. ......

"Hmm? Hmm? Usato-kun, something feels different ......"

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

"What? What's so funny? The injury itself will be healed, but pain and shock are still understood, so if I stun them properly, they can't move without hurting me either. Well, I used it a few times in this battle to fight them off. ...... Oh, it's just my selfishness, I'm not a die-hard."

　Usato-kun: ....... You are very poisoned. I don't know how to say this, but you are being poisoned by the hyah-ha-ha part of this world.

"...... hmm."

　Usato and the Black Knight, there must be a connection between their magic.

　He just hit him.

　Is such a technique useful? It is a strange punch that makes one want to ask, "Why is he doing this? It is quite a perversion, but since the technique is intended to neutralize the enemy without hurting him, it does not matter how much he punches or kicks in the process, as long as he is healed in the end. This is exactly the kind of "jump-thinking. You can call it perverted.

"Senpai. Didn't you just think I was rude?

　The reason why his fist broke through the armor of invincibility is probably due to the characteristics of the black knight's armor.

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

　It is only a hypothesis, but the condition to reflect the attack is that the armor must have a scratch on it. Whenever the armor is hit by a blow or a slash, the armor is always marked with a scar. As long as the user, the black knight, recognizes the wound, he can return it to his opponent. I know this because I have experienced it myself.

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

　In fact, the wound on my chest was returned after a few seconds. In other words, it must be the type that is triggered manually, not automatically.

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

　But in any case, this armor, which is so nasty and invincible, had a hole in it.

　Healing magic is the ability to heal living things.

　If the black knight's armor was inorganic, it would have made no sense, but if it was an armor of magical power generated by the black knight, it would be a different story.

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

　From my estimation, the process of Usato's fist breaking through the armor can be divided into three parts.

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

　In the first stage, the healing magic is activated as soon as the fist strikes the armor.

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

　In the second stage, the part directly hit by the fist is rapidly healed by the healing magic. Therefore, the fist penetrates through the armor while healing it, and the armor, which is extremely strong, is no longer judged as an external enemy, and it easily breaks through.

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

　In the third step, the fist, having used up the healing magic deployed in the arm in an instant, strikes the black knight directly in the flesh as a normal blow.

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

　It is a completely absurd guess, but judging from the black knight's face peeking through the gap in his coat, he must be thinking the same thing as I am.

"......You're a good man, Usato-kun."

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

"No, I don't want to be convinced on my own. ...... I mean, what are we going to do about this guy? I can't stay here forever either."

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

　Pointing to the black knight on his shoulder, Usato slowly stands up.

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

　I look at his side and see the soldiers who had been suffering lying down with peaceful expressions on their faces. It's early, I thought when he healed my wounds, but this is a different level from ordinary recovery magic.

I don't think King Lloyd would like that."

　That's a gentle king. He may interrogate you, but he won't hurt you.

　...... But there is something that has been bothering me for some time now...

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

"How long will you carry the black knight, or rather, her?"

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

　I wonder if it wouldn't be a problem if you put her down.

This uniform is like a mark on the battlefield. It's how the knights know I'm a lifeguard. ......

"Thank you, thank you for coming. If you hadn't come, I'd be dead.

　In fact, it was fatal. It hurt like hell, and I will never forget the feeling of the blood draining from my body. And the thought of ......<> occupied my mind with regret.

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

　Will I die with nothing left, will I die with nothing done, will I die here and let my friends die, will I die here and not be able to keep my promise?

　These thoughts were going through my mind over and over and over again when you appeared.

"Of course I'm coming, Inukami-senpai is an important and strange senior, and Kazuki is my friend."

"......... hmm?"

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

"More importantly, senpai. The enemy is slowly retreating. Maybe it's because we caught this guy, but ...... one more push and we'll have the advantage."

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

　...... I feel like I just got called "weird senior" for some reason.

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

　No, no, that doesn't matter now. But Usato-kun is right, we are pushing. Perhaps, the leader of the Sigurth Army would have a fight on his hands.

"Inukami-sama! Master Kazuki is awake!"

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

　Hearing the soldier's voice, Usato-kun and I immediately rushed to Kazuki's side. Kazuki smiled at Usato-kun and me as he rubbed his abdomen that had been healed.

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

"Are you all right, Kazuki!"

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

"Haha, looks like Usato did it. ...... Thanks. Thank you very much.

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't made such a foolhardy maneuver, I wouldn't have gotten hurt like that. ......"

"Please don't apologize. ...... I had to deal with the black knight."

　He slapped his cheek as if to wake himself up from sleep, and then put his sword back in its scabbard.

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

"Yes! Senpai, the battle is still going on. Let's go join the front line!"

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

　Is it safe to move? I don't have to ask you this. My chest wound is completely closed, as I have no pain. Once again, Usato really saved my life.

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

　...... healed me from my wounds. .........

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

"Usato-kun, you have to take responsibility for this..."

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

"What are you talking nonsense?"

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

　While talking to Mr. Usato-kun about how stupid I am, I check the war situation.

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

　The Royal Army is pushing slightly. If things continue as they are, we should be able to end this battle with a victory, but ...... it won't be that easy.

"Let's do something before the Demon King's army does something to us. Kazuki, can you go?

"I'll be fine!"

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

I'll head for the front as soon as I get this guy back in custody.

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

"Well then, I guess we'll have to part ways with Usato here for now."

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

　He means a lot to this fight in a different way than we do, and we can't keep him tied up here forever.

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

　He took the rope he had asked the soldier for and tied up the black knight, who had grown very docile.

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

"......It's a bit, well, very immoral, isn't it?"

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

"I don't have that kind of taste."

　Finally, when there is no longer any danger of escape, the coat used to restrain him is undone. He shakes off the weight of the coat and, after checking to make sure that nothing is torn, he pulls his arms through the sleeves of the coat and puts it on with vigor.

"Whew, that should do it."

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

"What should we do with him, Usato-dono?"

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

"I can't decide on my own, so I'll have to leave it to the commander of ...... Sigurth's army. I have to go to the front, so may I ask you to watch him until the decision is made so that he cannot escape?

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

"Yes, sir!"

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

　One of the soldiers replied in high spirits, and Usato-kun nodded his head in annoyance, but then looked at Kazuki-kun and me and his expression changed to a serious one.

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

"Senpai, Kazuki. Please try not to get hurt as much as you did earlier. Even my healing magic is not a universal one that can heal the dead.

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

"All right. I'll take it as easy as I can, Usato.

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

　Perhaps reassured by my words, Usato-kun turned his back to me and started to race toward the front line. I, along with Kazuki, will also prepare to leave the front line.

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

"Hang in there, Usato-kun.

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

　As I was about to turn to the soldier, looking at his back and muttering to myself ----.

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

　In an instant, a woman with beautiful green hair appeared in front of me and grabbed Usato-kun by the collar of his coat and forced him to stop running.
