　Mr. Usato.

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

　Where are you now?

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

　Is it Samaritan? Or have you already arrived in Mearaq?

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

　Either way, I sincerely hope that your trip will end safely. But I believe that you can easily overcome any adversity and hardship.

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

　Just like when you reached out to me when I was at rock bottom and helped me to stand up on my own. .......

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

　Anyway, it has been about a month since I joined the rescue team as an apprentice.

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

　The daily life of the rescue team has been both demanding and fulfilling for me.

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

　At first I was scared of Alec's face, but when I got to know them, they were very nice and kind to me, a junior member.

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

　I often talk with Mr. Uluru who sometimes comes to the rescue team.

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

　But every time I see him, he asks me, "Are you okay?　Hasn't your personality changed?　Has he become like Usato-kun?" He asks me. To be honest, I'd like to ask him how I can become like Usato. ......

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

　And Mr. Rose.

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

　I know what I'm talking about when I'm trained by him. ......

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

　Usato, you were so kind......!

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

　He cared for me so much......!

　Once, when Mr. Ferrum and I were dropped into the demon-infested forest, I was really prepared to die.

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

　I got out of the forest in three days, but I couldn't hide my shudder at the fact that Usato-san had been in that forest for ten days and was seriously trying to hunt a grand grizzly bear.

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

　And...

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

"Hey, what are you writing?"

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

　I was writing a letter near the lifeguard's quarters when someone approached me.

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

　I turned around and saw Mr. Ferrum, a colleague of mine in the rescue team, looking at me with stern eyes.

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

"What?　Oh, it's a letter for you, Mr. Usato. I heard that Huberd always comes to tell you when you arrive at the destination country, so I thought I'd ask him to send mine.

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

"Hmm, you must really admire him."

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

Yes. He's the man of my dreams.

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

　I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him.

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

Then you should respect me, too.

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

"Huh? You should talk in your sleep.

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

"What?"

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

Huh?"

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

　I quickly put the letter in my pocket and stood up.

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

"Hey!　You're my junior, you should respect me!"

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

"What are you doing acting like a senior when you substituted your junior for Mr. Rose?　I'll never respect you, Alec and the others!

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

What the hell!

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

　I often quarrel with Mr. Ferrum who is four years older than me.

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

　At first I was scared of him because of his horns, but after being beaten up by Mr. Rose over and over again with him, I stopped being afraid of him.

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

　Rather, I am half afraid of Mr. Rose.

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

　Now I am so afraid of him that I can't even resist him.

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

"You're so young!"

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

"Shut up!　You have horns like a sheep!"

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

"You call me a sheep!" "You call me a sheep! ......?　I'm a sheep for lack of a better word!

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

"Yes, you are!　I think your twisted horns show your true character!

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

"Mwah!　I'll never forgive you!　I won't be quiet just because you're younger than me!　I'm going to carve the black knight's fear into your heart!"

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

　We started to fight each other.

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

　But since Mr. Ferrum's physical abilities other than leg strength are overwhelmingly superior to mine, he grabs me by the cheek and pulls me away without a second thought.

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

　I grab her cheeks as well.

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

"Gu,fy......halyasee......"

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

"Hotchkotch, you're the one. ......"

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

　A back-and-forth battle, with neither side backing down.

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

　But neither I nor Mr. Ferrum would let go of my hand.

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

　This is because the pain is much more bearable than Rose's punishment. But so is Mr. Ferrum...so this is a battle of wills to see who will break.

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

　We can't lose..,

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

"Shut up, you guys."

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

"Yi!"

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

"Taa!"

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

　At that moment, we heard the voice of a terrifying demon near Mr. Ferrum and I, and at the same time, a tremendous blow fell on our heads.

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

　I crouched down, unable to speak out from the pain, and Mr. Ferrum, who was in front of me, was also holding his head with tears in his eyes.

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

　I was so shocked by the fistbones ...... after I had removed all sign of this!

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

Mr. Rose ......"""

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

"Don't fight over stupid shit. What's our motto?

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

Don't fight over shit!

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

There will be no next time.

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

　Mr. Ferrum and I, both of whom have a deep-seated fear of Mr. Rose, apologize in unison, unable to disobey him.

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

　Rose sighs in exasperation and pulls out a piece of paper from her pocket and holds it out to me.

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

"I've got something interesting for you," she says.

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

"Something interesting?"

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

"What's ......?　It's...

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

You'll have to wait and see. Okay, I'm going back inside. Don't make a fuss.

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

　A form handed to me by Rose, who seemed to be in a good mood.

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

　When I took it, Rose let out a small smile and walked toward the lifeguard's quarters.

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

"What's this?"

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

"That's what that woman hands me with a smile. It must be something terrible."

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

　We can't rule out that possibility.

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

　Maybe there is a training menu on which we are to be beaten to hell from now on.

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

　I looked over the paper handed to me with trepidation, and there was Usato's name on it.

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

"......E, you refuse the prince's marriage proposal?　The rumored female heroine is a healing magician?　Usato-san?　What?

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

　Don't tell me the female heroine is Suzune?

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

　Even though I've only met her a few times, Usato and Suzune seem to be good friends, but I'm surprised that she has feelings for Usato. .......

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

　I wonder how Usato-san feels about this.

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

　I'm sure he won't mind, but he must be in trouble.

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

"But ......"

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

　There's something that looks like Usato's portrait under the headline, but .......

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

"But what is this? This is not Usato."

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

　If you want to make a portrait of Mr. Usato, he should look more like a demon.

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

　He's not a noble man.

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

"Mr. Ferrum. What do you think of this?　It doesn't look like Mr. Usato, does it?"

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

"...... hmph."

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

"Ah."

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

　Mr. Ferrum snatched the paper out of my hand and tore it to pieces with great force.

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

　I panicked when I saw the pieces of paper fall to the ground.

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

"What?　What are you doing?　I was going to save it because it was your article!

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

"I was annoyed because you seemed to be having fun."

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

"What is the reason?　Oh, so disjointedly ......"

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

"Shut up. I really don't like the way he's traveling so fluently while I'm suffering right now."

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

　I let out a sigh as Mr. Ferrum turns away with a frustrated look on his face.

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

　But that doesn't mean you have to break it. .......

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

"Usato-san, you're not playing around either, are you?"

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

I don't know anything about humans. I'm a demon.

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

　Well, from Mr. Ferrum's point of view, who is a demon, it may not matter what Mr. Usato's mission is, as he is working for the peace of human beings. ...... but I think this person's mission is different.

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

"Are you sulking, by any chance?"

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

"What?

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

　Mr. Ferrum is a bit surprised.

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

　As I recall, Tong told me that Mr. Ferrum used to be a soldier of the Devil King's army, and he was also a black knight, a very terrible person. Usato beat him up and caught him,...... but looking at his attitude toward Usato, he seemed more like a child who was left alone to look after the house rather than hating him.

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

"I knew it. I knew it. He's probably sulking because he thinks Usato-san is going to be taken away by Suzune-san!

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

"Hmph!"

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

What?

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

　Ferrum-san's head butt hit me directly on the head.

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

　Her head, which has been hit by Rose's fist more than anyone else's, is so hard that stars are flying all over my field of vision.

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

"Look. I haven't forgotten what he did to me."

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

"~~~!　We used to be enemies, so it can't be helped. ...... And yet you're always complaining and being a pain in the ass."

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

"...... you think what would happen if Rose punched you in the face and then beat you with an octopus?"

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

You'd be a piece of meat.

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

　What are you asking me that's so obvious?

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

　Mr. Ferrum says this while holding his forehead, and his face turns serious.

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

"Usato did that to me.

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

"I'm sorry. I think that's something you should hold on to."

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

　"Hey!" in the distance. I thought I heard Usato's voice in the distance.

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

"And I need to know more about him.

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

"What?　I thought you didn't like me because of your usual attitude. ......"

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

　I thought I wouldn't like him in the least, but apparently not.

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

　Mr. Ferrum becomes more grumpy at my words.

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

"He's a puzzle to me," he says. He healed me when I was his enemy, and after that he came to me in the cage with a light heart and made small talk with me. He wasn't even afraid of me when I came in here, you know?　......It's natural to want to know how you can behave like that towards someone you've been killing each other."

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

　Usato-san killing each other ......?

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

　No, he didn't.

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

"I don't think it's a killing match for you, Mr. Usato."

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

"Huh?"

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

He wasn't running around the battlefield doing that. He came here to help people in accordance with the philosophy of this place and this rescue mission. I don't know the situation when Mr. Ferrum and Mr. Usato fought, but I think Mr. Usato fought to save someone ...... maybe ...... no, I definitely think so."

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

　There is no way that Mr. Usato would use his power to kill his opponent.

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

　If he did, there is a possibility that Mr. Ferrum would not be alive today.

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

　Usato's fist without healing magic would be dangerous to a human being. .......

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

"Is that what you mean?　Does that mean he didn't care about me in the first place?"

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

"No, I don't think that's what it means.

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

"Kuhkuhkuhkuh ...... that explains his attitude of not taking a shine to me. He didn't know how I was feeling, but he, he, he,...... f*ck him, that monster!　d*mn, next time I see him, I'll make sure I get even with him!"

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

"...... Oh, shit."

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

　Mr. Ferrum, who is completely bloodied up, is stomping his feet on the ground and talking about his resentment toward Mr. Usato.

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

　It's good to see you enjoying yourself so much, but if you make any more noise, you'll get ----,

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

　Just when I think it's time to stop Mr. Ferrum, someone stutters down behind us.

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

　Mr. Ferrum and I stop moving.

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

　There's someone behind us.

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

　No, I don't have to look. The shadow cast by the sunlight coming in from behind us shows an all too familiar silhouette.

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

　As soon as I looked fearfully behind me, a hand was thrust out so fast that I couldn't follow it with my eyes, and it grabbed me and Mr. Ferrum's head.

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

"How many times have I told you not to make a fuss?　Is that it?　Can't you learn?　Or do you want to spend your vacation training?　That's a good attitude. Shall I give you five times what you want?

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

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I'm ...... going to grab you by the head.

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

"I have almost nothing to do with this...?"

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

"If you don't understand, it's best to let them understand."

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

　It's not about making them understand, it's about controlling them with fear.

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

　Mr. Ferrum and I were both grabbed by the face and struggled.

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

　It's a wonder that Mr. Rose can't even faint, perhaps because he's moderately controlled.

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

"Now, we're going to have a fun, fun training session. You'll be happy, won't you?

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

　...... Usato.

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

　This is my lifeguard routine.

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

　It sure was a hell of a place to be.

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

　But I don't know.

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

　Living here, I feel like I can be a different person than I was before.
