　The neighboring kingdom of Lingle, Lucvis.

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

　The huge building, which could be mistaken for a castle, is itself a place to learn magic, where the highest authority in Lukvis, the principal or principal in my world, is located. The children who visit the school learn the basics of unsystematic magic and other magic systems, sometimes competing with each other to hone their skills in battle.

　According to Mr. Aruk, besides magic, they can learn swordsmanship, martial arts, and other skills.

　Mr. Welshy says that wizards who graduate with excellent grades are generally powerful magicians.

　According to Amako, it is not uncommon for people to be discriminated against because of their innate magical abilities.

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

　There are not so many magic systems that can be classified into different categories. When distinguishing between the superiority and inferiority of wizards of the same lineage, the amount of innate magical power, sense, and skill are required. These can be compensated for with effort, but the lineage that one is born with cannot be changed no matter how hard one tries.

　The night of the sixth day after our departure from the Kingdom of Lingle.

　I stood in front of the burning wood and thought about my destination, Lucvis. Everyone is already resting except for the knight who has been assigned to watch over us. I really need to sleep for tomorrow, but I can't sleep at all thinking about Lucvis, where we are supposed to arrive tomorrow.

　He sits down in front of me and smiles briskly. He noticed me getting out of the carriage because I couldn't sleep, and he was talking to me, as if he cared about me.

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

　I knew that he is a very polite and kind man. Perhaps it's because of his occupation as a knight, but he's also very polite and easy to talk to. He seems like a person who would be a committee chairman or something in his former world.

"Yes?"

You were in Luxvis, weren't you?"

　He started talking about "heroes" and "novels" and other things that I couldn't understand, but when I asked him about it, his expression turned a little sour.

　Was it something I shouldn't ask him?

"...... yeah."

"No, it's not like that."

　Mr. Alc waved his hand to the side as if in a panic, and looked at me again as if he was going to shoot me again with the sword at his waist propped up beside him.

"Perhaps ...... you will find out soon, so let me tell you now while I still can."

"Tomorrow, you'll know?"

"Yes, you have heard from Amaco that Lucvis discriminates based on the magic of the lineage, haven't you?"

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

"...... well."

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

　It's a terrible story, but at the same time, I feel as if it were someone else's problem.

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

　Kazuki and Inukami-senpai seemed to be somewhat indignant, but I guess it is someone else's business.

"Discrimination based on the magic of the lineage is terrible, ...... but there is another one that is just as bad, discrimination against subhumans."

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

　Discrimination against subhumans? Isn't it not only in Lucvis but also in other countries? At least that's what I've heard.

"The people who come to Luxembourg have many goals, they work hard in their studies, to ...... become knights, to become wealthy. ...... I could go on for a long time if I told you everything I know, but I won't, It is important to note that some visitors to Lucvis are prepared to be persecuted because of their race, and some are subhuman."

"You know that you will be in danger?"

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

Yes, that's what makes Luxvis so valuable.

　In my world, Luxembourg would be an elite school with a high standard of living.

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

　But from what I've heard, I don't think it's worth it. Why bother training in magic, it's hell. I can't imagine going through the trouble of physical training with no intellectual component, where you get punched and knocked around, get up and knocked around, and kicked when you think you've dodged a bullet.

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

　It's like going to school to get punched by a subhuman.

"Well, yes. I don't understand.

"They have a job to do, even if it's dangerous. Although the sale and persecution of subhumans is superficially forbidden in Lukvis, there are always students from all over the continent ...... who are not so interested in discrimination against subhumans, as well as those who dislike it to an excessive degree."

　Mr. Aruk, with a wry smile on his face, throws the dead tree branches piled up beside him into the firewood. His expression, which was faintly reflected in the light of the campfire, which was burning and becoming brighter and brighter, looked somewhat sad.

"It is the best place to learn magic, but the worst place for a very few people. To be honest, I never liked it there."

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

"...... sorry."

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

Oh, no! I meant no disrespect to Mr. Usato! I wanted to help you, so I thought it over and took on the responsibility of escorting you."

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

　Even so, I am the one who asked you to bring him back to Lucvis, which is the worst place you said. I am very sorry.

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

By the way, how do you perceive subhumans, Usato-dono?

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

"Recognition? Hmm."

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

　Different from people? But the only subhumans I've met and talked to are Amako, a beast, and Ferrum, a demon. Look at those two .......

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

"Not really."

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

　Maybe I've been poisoned too much, or maybe it's because I have a demon leader who is much more of a monster than a subhuman, but I don't think it's that scary or frightening. I think the members of the lifeguard squad are more monster than the subhumans, since they were treated as demons by Ferrum.

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

　But what happened to Aruk-san? He slightly rolled his eyes at my words, and the next moment he started laughing with a loud voice, which is not like him.

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

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

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

"Yeah, yeah. ......"

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

　What was so unbearable that he suppressed the voice that leaked out of his mouth. I don't know what I said that was so funny. I didn't say anything beautiful or derogatory. I wonder why Mr. Aruk is laughing.

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

"Nothing in particular," he says. That's exactly what Usato-dono would say.

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

"It's like me. ......"

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

Yes, just like you. That must be why Amako-dono feels at ease with you, ...... who treats subhumans as human beings."

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

　In other words, the difference in perception from the people in this world is so great that they laughed at me. I've read so many fantasy novels that I'm not afraid of subhumans.

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

　In the first place, we were brought from another world, and the consciousness of people living in this world is quite different from ours, isn't it? In a world where everything I see seems alien to me, magic, subhumans, and everything else seem to be of the same standard. But for the people in this world, magic is something that they take for granted, and subhumans are scary and frightening.

"I'm not a very good person, even though I'm like me.

Please don't lift me up. You'll get carried away.

　Mr. Aruk's expression softens considerably after the previous exchange, and he smiles pleasantly. He does not seem as stiff and polite as he did in the beginning, but now he seems rather frank.

Usato and Aruku have become a little friendlier.

"What's wrong?"

　As I stared at the dark plain in a daze, listening to the crackling of leaves and branches burning, Mr. Alc, who was sitting with a campfire between us, tilted his head and looked right behind me.

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

　I turn my head to look behind me, wondering about Mr. Alc who is staring at the place where the wagon is staying.

　The door that I had closed when I left the carriage was opened, and a girl was peeking out from behind the door as if she was listening to me. She turns around, meets my eyes, and walks up to me.

"Can't you sleep?"

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

"You too, Usato."

　Amako, the girl who sat next to me, stared at the fire as I did. From close up, I could see her glossy blonde hair reflecting in the faint light of the campfire.

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

　But why so late at night? I was supposed to be sleeping soundly next to my senpai, but Amako was supposed to be sleeping soundly next to me.

"I woke up because ...... Inukami hugged me."

"Ha-ha-ha, that's ...... tough for Amako-dono, isn't it?"

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

"Not at all."

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

　Amako smiles a little, as if she knows that Senpai also had bad intentions. I'm going to ...... put him and Amako to bed apart afterwards.

What were you talking about?

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

About tomorrow, I guess.

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

　I should not talk about the discrimination against subhumans, so I will explain it lightly while omitting it. Well, I think you got the gist of what I was talking about since I explained it really simply.

"Do you remember Usato? He said I've been to Lucvis."

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

"Hmm? I remember. As I recall, ...... a beastie who goes there hid me, right?"

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

"Was that so?"

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

　Mr. Arque looked at Amako with some surprise in his eyes and she nodded her head.

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

"I don't know if he's still there or not, but ...... when you're done with Usato's business, can I go see him?"

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

"Me too?"

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

"...... yeah."

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

　Me too. ....... What if he looks scary? No, I don't think it'll be more than Rose, but it'll still be heartbreaking. But I guess, since he is a beastman living in Lucvis, which is not so safe for subhumans, he must be reasonably strong and can use special magic like Amaco.

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

　Well, we'll have to ask permission first.

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

"Is it okay if I go? Mr. Aruk."

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

"I'm sure you'll be fine. After we give them the letter, we will have to stay, albeit temporarily, until a decision is made, so we will have plenty of time. We may get a little held up, but if that's OK with you, we'll be at ......."

　I look at her sideways as she holds her knee happily, perhaps because she might see an old friend. She has been living away from her own people for a long time now. It must have been hell before she came to Sarla's place.

"I'm getting sleepy now. ......"

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

　Perhaps I feel somewhat better after having exchanged a few words with Mr. Aruk, and I am getting sleepy. I was thinking that I could stay up all night, but as I was getting up to go to sleep, Aruk-san, who was standing in front of me, called out to me as if to stop me.

Look next to me, Usato-dono.

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

"Next door?"

　I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not notice that Amako, who was standing next to me, was lying on her knees, breathing a small sleep. She was asleep, but before I knew it, she was holding the hem of my dress, so I guessed that Mr. Aruk must have noticed and stopped her so as not to wake her up.

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

"I guess she feels safest around you, after all."

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

"I see. ...... Well, I guess I'll sleep here. What about you, Aruk?"

"I'll be changing watch in a little while, so ...... you're going to sleep sitting up?"

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

I'm used to it. I'll be fine.

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

　When I was in the forest, I didn't lie down so that I could escape at any time if I was attacked by a demon, and I've become quite comfortable with this. ...... I'm not a very good sleeper, though. I lay down Amako, who was still sleeping sitting up, and put on the dumplings I had folded near her.

"Well, I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

"My pleasure."

　After exchanging words with Mr. Aruk, I think about how long it's been since I slept outside and meditate on something rather silly, and then close my eyes. I guess I was too tired to realize it, and my consciousness gradually faded away more easily than I had expected.

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

I was tired beyond my awareness, and my consciousness was slowly fading away.

　Someone is calling my name.

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

　I wonder who is calling my name. I open my eyes in a deep sleep. I wonder how long I've been lying there, though I'm sure I fell asleep sitting up with Amako, who had fallen asleep in front of the fire. And my head is wrapped in something soft like a pillow.

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

"Hey, Usato-kun."

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

"Hmm."

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

　I see someone peering at me with a head that doesn't work.

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

　Even my brain, which is not working well, could recognize the person immediately.

　I get up from my senpai's lap and look outside. It is quite bright, and it seems that I have overslept. I look around the coach and see that everyone is already awake except for Amako, who went to bed at the same time as me, and greets me when I wake up.

"Did you bring me here, Kazuki?"

"Hmm? Yeah, but you don't have to thank me. It was a little heavy, but it didn't take that long."

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

　Even so, I can't believe I slept through the night. I guess it's different to rest in the company of people you can trust. When I was staying at the rescue team, I was living under the unspoken understanding that oversleeping was not allowed, so it has been a while since I slept and woke up with such a relaxed mind.

　Kazuki looks from Kazuki, who smiles bitterly, to his senpai.

　Sure enough, he was stroking Amako's head, who was sleeping on the opposite side of the room from me, as if he was unfaithful to me.

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

　Well, to be honest, she is an exceptionally beautiful girl.

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

　And if you ask me if I was happy when she fell on her knees, I will answer loudly that I was happy. But I'm not the kind of fish that would be caught by a blind fishhook.

"Even Mr. Welshy is at ......."

　Mr. Welsey, who had just been looking over the letter, looks up with a wry smile on his face and says so. If Amako were awake right now, she'd be all over me for not being normal.

　Now I sit deep in my chair, as if I'm being unfaithful, and do the exercise to manipulate the concentration of magic that Rose told me to practice.

"No, it's not that hard, is it? This."

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

　Ms. Welsey is still saying that to me as usual. She says this every time I do this exercise. She says it's not something someone who's only been practicing magic for a few months would do. But it's not that hard.

　Anyone can do it if they know how. Ms. Welshy then tells me that .......

"That's why I'm telling you. It's a dangerous practice even if it's easy, because if you're not good at it, your hands will get shredded by the outburst of uncontrollable magic. It's a good thing I'm a healing magician. ....... You should do such a thing after you learn to handle magic better..."

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

　I feel my smile tug at Mr. Welshy as he spits out words one after another like a sermon, and I manipulate the density of the magic power.

　The original light green color changes to a slightly less pigmented green than that of Ms. Olga, and then returns to the original color repeatedly. To be honest, I don't really feel it because I can't see any visible results, but Mr. Welshy says that I'm doing pretty well.

　No, no, no, I'm saying this as a matter of course, but I'm too occupied with myself and if my senpai learns it easily, I'll never recover from it.

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

　Also, I genuinely don't want my senpai to do anything dangerous. I didn't react so much because I'm used to it, but when my hand was cut by a burst of magic power, it hurt a lot.
