　The game between Nack and Meena ended with Nack's victory.

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

　Although he tried to use Meena's system enhancement forcibly, Nack's healing magic returned to its original form, and it is safe to say that he was able to solve his own problems.

　I really want to see him grow up more in this city before I leave, but the day after the battle between Nack and Meena, I, Inukami-senpai, Kazuki, and Welshy were summoned by Mr. Gladys.

"First of all, I would like to thank you. Thank you, Usato."

"Heh?"

　I was summoned to the dean's office, where I was suddenly bowed down.

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

　I was a bit nervous and tried to ask for help from Kazuki and Inukami-senpai, but before I could ask for help, a very knowledgeable Welshie-san smiled at me and spoke to me.

"Principal Gladys wanted to change the mindset of the students at this school."

"Huh ......?"

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

"Magic relies on innate talent. The number of children with this belief has been increasing at the school.

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

"We did not like the situation where people gave up on improving their own abilities and blamed everything on their talents. You ...... have changed that, you and Nack. Many of our students have changed their minds after seeing how Nack faced the wall of talent head on and broke it down, even if in different ways.

　......I'm not really aware of it, but I guess my actions have had an impact on a lot of students in this city.

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

"And it has also changed the mindset of us teachers. No one doubts your ability anymore. Who can say that the Demon Lord's army is weak when even those of you who are so strong had a hard time?

"!　Well then, Mr. Gladys!　The decision on the letter can be found at ......."

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

　Gladys-san nodded at Kazuki's words and looked around at all of us before opening her mouth.

"Luxvis will form a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Lingle."

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

　I was happy to hear those words, but at the same time I felt a little sad.

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

　Not because I was sad that I had formed a cooperative relationship with Lukvis, but because I was sad to say goodbye to Kiriha and the others who had become good friends with me in this city.

"Thank you, Dean. We will see you later today at ......."

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

　If the letter has been answered, then our goal is to pass the letter on to the next country.

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

　So we have to get out of here.

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

　I said goodbye to Mr. Gladys and left the president's office, and after being seen off by Kara and Halfa, who had come to the entrance of the school, I parted from the seniors.

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

　I headed for the dormitory where Kiriha and the others were waiting for Amako.

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

　The school is closed for the day because it is the day after the mock battle, so I know that Kiriha and the others will be there. And since Nack, who collapsed from exhaustion yesterday, is sleeping in their dormitory, he is also there. So I don't have to worry about leaving without saying goodbye, but my heart is still heavy.

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

　With heavy steps, I arrive at the dormitory and explain to Kiriha and the others who have welcomed me that I am leaving today. Fortunately, Nack seemed to be awake and was listening to my story in silence.

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

"I see, so you are leaving today..."

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

　I felt sorry for Kiriha and the others who had come to the front of the dormitory, but I said something back to them.

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

"Yeah, I'm sorry for coming out of nowhere."

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

"It's all right, it's an important mission, isn't it? If that's the case, I can't help it."

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

　Kiriha cries her shoulders out in disappointment.

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

　Seeing her, I take the cloth bag that Mr. Welshy made me carry before I came here out of the pocket of my trousers and hold it out in front of her.

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

"Here, for letting me stay here. I didn't prepare it for you.

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

"Oh, no, I'm sorry. I didn't do that much.

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

"You've been very helpful, if I do say so myself. Nack even let me stay the night, and most of all, I had a great week with you guys."

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

　I don't mean to flatter or exaggerate.

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

　It was a bit of a hectic week, but it was a good time.

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

"Well, we already know you're stubborn, don't we? I'll just give up and take it. ......"

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

Thank you.

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

　I couldn't bear to just eat and leave without giving anything back.

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

"You were a really weird person, you know. ......"

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

"Of course, you're the one who's coming with me, after all."

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

　Amako, I think that's a bit harsh.

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

　And it's not something to be proud of, is it?

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

"I'm sure you're right, ......."

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

"Deny it. ......"

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

"You're right, you can't deny it. It's how we got to know you, so I guess it's not so bad to be different."

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

　She smiles at Kiriha, who smiles at her with a smile that is somewhat softer than when we first met.

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

　So much has happened, I feel like I've been here so long that this past week feels like a very long time.

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

"I wasn't sure what was going to happen at first. I was wondering what would happen at first, but seeing you like this ...... made me think that it's not so bad to try to believe in people again."

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

"Kyou ......, you are ......."

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

"That doesn't mean I'm going to open up so easily. But if only there was someone like you who would treat us normally."

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

　Kyou, who turned away with a pouty face, said so.

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

　When I let out a giggle at his words, he turns his face red and yells at me.

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

"Don't laugh!　I know what I'm saying stinks too!

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

"You're a shy guy, aren't you?"

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

"Shut up, amako! I'll never say this again!　d*mn, why did I say such an embarrassing thing ...... d*mn it ......"

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

"...... are you crying?"

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

"Who's crying?

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

　I apologize to Kyou, who turns around as if to say "sorry, sorry," and Satsuki smiles innocently at me. I bent down to meet her eyes and clenched both fists.

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

"Usato!　Come back here again when your trip is over!　And tell me even more amazing and strange stories!　And tell Suzune and Kazuki that you'll see them again!

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

"Yes, I will tell them. But don't annoy Kiriha and Kyou too much.

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 nodded at Satsuki's words as she bounced happily.

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

　You really have a huge range of tension, I thought you were a quieter girl at first.

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

　Receiving the parting greetings from the three beastmen who have been so kind to me, I feel that it was worth coming here, even if the purpose of handing over the letter is not included in it.

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

"Nack".

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

"......"

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

　Finally, I call out to Nack, who has been nodding his head since a while ago.

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

　He remains motionless with his head down, but slowly looks up when I call his name.

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

"Mr. Usato,...... I have to admit that your training was hard and painful for me."

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

"At first I thought what a crazy thing to do."

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

"......Uh,yeah."

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

"I really thought it was a monster that was using some kind of horrible magic, not healing magic."

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

"Oh, wait a minute."

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

　Oh, no.

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

　This isn't a goodbye speech, it's a complaint about me, isn't it?　I think I know how Rose feels when she hears me complaining, but I wish I didn't.

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

"But now I can say that none of it was a waste of time. The hard training, the healing magic, and the things you taught me were all essential for me to win over Meena."

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

"Knack ......"

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

"I want to be stronger. I want to become stronger and be like you. Usato, I found you. I found a way to live without being tied down by my family, by Meena, by anyone."

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

　With yesterday's victory, he now has the chance to walk a new path, free of his old ties. It is up to him to make the most of it.

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

　But when he says he wants to be like me, it's a little embarrassing.

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

"I'm going to go to the Kingdom of Lingle and join the lifeguard!　I'll endure even harder training than I do now!　I'll take the abuse!"

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

"......I'm not ready. My physical abilities are not up to the Commander's ideal, and my lineage strengthening is still in its infancy. To be honest, compared to the Commander, I'm not even close to him. ...... But still, do you want to be like me?"

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

"You are my mentor and ...... my back to follow!"

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

　...... I see.

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

　Then I can't go on like this. I have to get fitter than I am now and keep working harder than ever so that I can be Nack's target.

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

　He takes out a letter that he has been keeping in the pocket of his uniform and presents it to Nack.

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

　The letter is in a rectangular envelope, and in the lower right corner of the envelope is written in slightly distorted letters the words <> in short.

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

"I think it will be all right if I give you this letter. The one who wears the same uniform as me and has the appearance of a predator is the leader. Well, I think you will recognize him at a glance.

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

　Nack received the letter with great care.

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

　I'm not sure if he'll be able to handle the lifeguard training, or if he'll be able to maintain his composure under Rose's irrationality, but I'm sure Nack will be fine.

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

　......I'd better get going.

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

　I have Inukami-senpai and Kazuki and the others waiting for me, so I urge Amako to get going. Amako nods her head, looks at Kiriha and the others, and takes a deep breath.

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

"It's good to see you and Kiriha again. Thank you for everything you've done for us.

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

"I'm glad to see Amako in good health, too. If you ever get lonely, come to my house, Amaco is always welcome."

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

　Amako's mouth breaks into a smile, but she turns her head at an angle, as if she is embarrassed to be seen smiling at me.

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

　Just like Sarla's house, you now have another place to go back to.

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

　I turn to the four of them, muttering to myself, "That's great, isn't it?

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

Kiriha, Kyou, Satsuki, take care of yourselves. Knack will ...... not need to say goodbye, so I'll just say ...... see you again."

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

"You too, Usato. Well, if you're ever in the neighborhood, drop by. We'll be here for the time being.

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

"Make sure you save Amako's mother."

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

See you later, Usato!

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

I'll be waiting for you in the Lingle Kingdom!

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

　With these words from each of them, Amako and I left the dormitory where Kiriha and the others were staying.

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

　It's sad to say goodbye, but it doesn't mean we won't see each other again.

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

"He's gone, isn't he?"

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

"Yeah, he's gone."

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

　Nack muttered to Usato and Amako as he looked off their backs, and Kyou answered him.

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

　It was a very short week, but I think it was the most meaningful time I have ever had. It reminded me of my long-forgotten desire to make friends with humans, and above all, it was the first time I made a human friend.

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

"Are you going to the Lingle Kingdom soon?"

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

"......I would love to, but I still have things to do."

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

　What else is there?

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

　I turn to Nack and see him holding a letter in his hand, tucking it into his pocket with great care.

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

"I thought I'd send my parents a goodbye letter ...... and quit school ......, and then I thought I'd finally meet Meena ......."

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

"I don't think you should."

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

"Yeah, I don't know what they'll do to me."

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

I agree.

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

　I, Kyou, and Satsuki stopped Nack at once.

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

　It's too dangerous to meet Meena after yesterday's game. If he is not careful, he could be hit by magic on the spot.

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

　But Nack just shakes his head in annoyance, as if he knew what was coming.

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

"You're right, I don't know what they'll do to me. I'm sure I don't know what they'll do to me. ......What Meena did to me is not something I can easily forgive. But whether you forgive me or not, I'm not ...... going to forgive you."

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

"I'm ......?"

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

I wanted to talk to you.

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

　At the end of the game, Nack was the only one who could see Meena running amok from close up. No one else in the room could see or hear her.

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

　But the sound of Meena's voice that reached my beastly ears was not full of confidence, but it sounded as if she was clinging to someone who was going far away. Considering this, it is not hard to understand why Nack is concerned about her.

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

Do what you want, Nack. "Do what you want, but when you leave here, stop by here. I'll see you out."

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

"Of course. In fact, the people who are closest to me here are only the Kiriha's."

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

"I'm a beast, but I think that's pretty weird ......."

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

　Indeed.

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

　...... somehow I've come to be able to talk normally with Nack, whom Usato brought with him. At first it was as if we were talking through Usato, but before I knew it, we were able to have a normal conversation without it.

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

　Really, it was just a matter of when.

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

"I can't help it if it's weird. After all, I am Usato's disciple.

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

"Ha, you're right."

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

　Seeing Kyou patting Nack's back in a funny way, Satsuki and I naturally laugh as well.

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

　I had been wondering if humans and beasts could really get along, but it was so much easier when we were able to come to terms with each other like this.

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

"......!"

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

　Stifling the sudden surge of emotion, I turn my body once more in the direction of where Usato and Amako have gone.

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

　I don't know when I will see them again.

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

　Still, I could not think that I might never see them again. Amako had Usato, and Usato had Amako, so there was nothing to worry about.

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

"I'm looking forward to our next meeting."

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

　But the next time we meet, I'd like it if Amako's mom is saved, Usato's trip is over, and I'm ...... a little more open-minded than I am now.

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

　I'm going to try to do something different in my own way until then.

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

　After saying goodbye to Kiriha and the others, Amako and I moved to the gate leading outside.

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

　Waiting for us were Inukami-senpai, Kazuki, Welshy, and the knights.

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

　As we were to be divided into three groups for our departure, each knight was making preparations, and Alc, who would accompany us, was loading his luggage on one of the horses.

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

"Mr. Alc, is that horse ......?"

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

"I thought I'd have him carry it since it's going to be a bit of a big load for the trip. He is a good horse, if a bit old. And he's smart, so I'm sure he won't slow you down on your journey."

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

"Okay, well, ......, nice to meet you."

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

　He purred pleasantly as I stroked his slightly blackish brown fur.

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

　I've never touched a horse before, but it's so smooth. It's a little different from a brindle.

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

　...... Well, I can't leave the preparations to Mr. Aruk forever.

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

I'll help you.

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

No, no, I'm fine. Mr. Welshy has something more important to discuss with you before we leave, so let's get to it first.

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

　An important talk from Mr. Welsey?

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

　I don't know, let's just go.

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

"Okay. Amako, will you go get Bullyn? He's probably still sleeping."

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

"Yeah, okay."

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

　Leaving Aruk and Amako to get ready, I move to the area near the carriage where Mr. Welshy and the others are.

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

　As far as I can see, they are not talking about anything important yet. Were they waiting for me? Thinking this, I call out to him.

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

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

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

"I didn't wait that long, but did you get to say goodbye?"

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

　He nods at his senpai's words and passes on the message from Satsuki to his senpai and Kazuki.

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

"......I see, yes, thank you for telling them."

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

I'll see you soon."

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

"Usato is right, it's not like it's goodbye for life, so I'm sure we'll see each other again. Satsuki said we would see each other again.

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

"......You're right, we'll come back to see you when it's all over. We'll come back to see you when we've finished everything.

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

　Kazuki's words and mine brought him back to his senses.

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

　Mr. Welshy, who had been silently watching us, opened his mouth at the right moment.

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

"It looks like everyone is here. I know that you have experienced many things here in Luxembourg. But this is only the beginning of your journey. The long journey begins here.

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

　We keep silent so as not to miss Ms. Welshy's voice.

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

"Suzune is to the north, Kazuki is to the west, and Usato is to the east. It's very unfortunate for us, but we have to rely on you to inform the Lingle Kingdom ...... of the crisis on this continent. But you are willing to help us regardless of that. ......"

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