　I was able to save Mr. Karon safely, and after healing Leona's and Aruk's injuries, I returned to the castle in Mialak to rest.

　I should have immediately reported to the throne where Master Norn was ...... but when she learned that Mialark had been saved by saving Mr. Karon, she fell asleep with a big smile on her face. I heard.

　Master Norn had been working tirelessly to keep the wards in place, and knowing that, we decided to wait for her to wake up.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't resist the intense sleepiness when I felt relieved. ......"

"We got some rest, and we don't mind at all.

　Two days later, when we heard the news that Master Norn had awakened, we were summoned to the underground where the Fountain of Kureha was located, where Master Falga was.

　Waiting for us at the fountain were Master Norn and Falga. They were Mr. Norn and Ms. Falga.

Thanks to your help, Mialak was saved. And you even saved Kalon's life, which was not supposed to be saved, and for that I can only say thank you.

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

"I thank you, too. Without you, we would not have been able to stop Kalon.

"Yeah, uh, ......, I'm so glad no one was killed!"

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

　I reply shyly to Norn and Falga's words.

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

　Looking back, I think we did something quite reckless this time.

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

　Mr. Karon in his disintegrated state definitely had the power to kill me. Before that, without the help of Leona, Aruk, Amako, and Nair, I would not be here now.

　I was able to pull off a paper-thin ending ...... that I could never have done on my own.

"Speaking of which, are the people from Mearaq going to be able to come back here?"

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

Yes. Yes. Yesterday the people of the castle sent word to their neighbors who are taking care of the people. They should be back here in two weeks.

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

"So you can go home. ......Good. ......"

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

　After all, it must be hard not being able to go home for almost a month.

　Norn-sama smiled at me with relief and took a piece of paper out of his pocket and showed it to me.

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

　It was a letter that I had given to her when we visited Mearaq.

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

"At first I withheld my answer to the letter, but I have no doubt that you have done so much for this country. I, Norn Erad Mialak, as queen, will accept the letter."

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

"Um, ...... are you sure you're okay?"

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

　I was more confused than pleased when Master Norn said that.

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

　I was glad that he accepted the letter, but I wondered if I could easily accept the letter under the current circumstances in Mearaq.

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

　Perhaps sensing my doubts, Falga, who is standing by Norn's side, slowly opens his mouth.

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

The Demon King is a powerful being. We must unite against him. Now that the crisis in Mialak is over, there is no reason to refuse the letter.

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

　Does Lady Farga think that we should accept the contents of the letter because she knows the Demon King who fought against the previous heroes?

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

　I wonder how strong a being the Demon King is. ......

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

　It is certain that he was at least as strong as the previous generation of heroes, who were at least as strong as the previous generation of heroes who were at least as strong as the previous generation of heroes.

"You don't need to worry. The ice around the city is melting now that Kalon's power has been suppressed. It will take some time, but Mearaq will be able to return to its former vigorous state.

"If that's the case, you can visit ......."

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

　As if to compose myself, I looked up and bowed to Norn and Falga, thanking them for accepting my letter.

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

　This was the third time after Lukvis and Samaritan, but I still felt embarrassed.

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

　Behind me, Nair said, "Wow, it doesn't suit you," but I'll hold it in for now and get back at her later.

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

"That's all I have to say about the letter, Usato, but I have something to tell you.

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

What is it?

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

The armaments of your friends, the two heroes.

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

　I saw Inukami-senpai and Kazuki in my memory, is it about the two armors that Master Farga makes?

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

"As soon as Mialark is restored, we will produce the weapons, but I thought I should tell you that unlike your baskets, they will be made from scratch, so it will take quite a while to make them."

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

"I understand. Please do not be too reckless, Mr. Farga.

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

　The armor that Master Farga creates is a product of his power.

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

　In other words, each time he creates a weapon, it is a burden on his body, so he should not be too hard on himself.

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

　Perhaps sensing Norn's anxious look, Falga's mouth quirks into a smile.

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

"Don't worry. You will not die just because your strength is reduced. I will be here forever. And I told you.　I'll watch over you too. At least, I won't die until I see what happens to you."

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

　Oh, you were serious about that? .......

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

　What do I do, does it mean that Mr. Farga is paying attention to my every move?　Or is he watching what I do from now on?

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

　I'm afraid of both.

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

"Usato, you are paid a lot of attention by unusual people, aren't you?

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

"I'm not normal myself, but..."

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

"You're not normal either, are you, little fox?"

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

　A fight is about to break out behind me, but I can't help but be reminded of what Nair said.

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

　I'm even beginning to think that most of the people I've met so far are somehow out of the ordinary.

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

　There are also a lot of people with common sense, like Kazuki and Aruk-san, ......?

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

"Are you guys leaving here today?"

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

"Yes. I've received a reply to my letter and I'm well rested, so as soon as I've packed my bags, I'll be on my way to my next destination.

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

"I'm sorry. I wanted to thank you for everything. ......"

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

　A disappointed Norn.

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

　Even though Mr. Karon's outburst has stopped and peace has returned to Mearrauk, not everything is back to normal. We must rebuild the interior of the city, which has fallen into disrepair due to the loss of people.

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

　We will only be a nuisance if we stay too long.

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

Our next stop is the land of the beastmen, right?

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 to Mr. Farga's words.

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

　The final goal of our journey, and the reason why Amako asked for my help---the land of the beastmen.

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

"You should be careful. Something strange is about to happen in that place.

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

"Strange, sir?"

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

I don't know what the beasts are doing. But I can tell you one thing, many of them still hate us. I'm sure you will be fine, but we must be careful.

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

　Strange, huh?

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

　Does it have something to do with the mysterious behavior of the beasts mentioned by Mr. Norn?

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

　I hope it's not a bad thing,......, but we'll have to go there first.

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

　If we're going to help Amako's mother, it's a given that we're going to the beastmen's country.

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

I'll keep that in mind.

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

"Mm."

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

　He nodded at my words and his beautiful blue eyes widened.

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

"Usato. The end of your journey around the continent is near, but your adventure in this world is not over yet. In the process, you will be troubled and suffer, but I am confident that your heart will not be broken, as you have never given up and tried to save Kalon until the end."

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

　Our journey ends when we reach the land of the beastmen.

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

　After completing our mission of handing over the letter and saving Amaco's mother, we must return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

　Not caring that I was a bit preoccupied, Falga-sama continued to speak.

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

"Once there was a man who suffered between hope and despair."

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

　...... I think I have a vague idea of who the man is that Falga is talking about.

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

　A hero who defeated the Demon King and a man who was betrayed by others.

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

　I listen to his words silently.

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

"The man who continued to be betrayed by others, who continued to fight even though his heart was nearly broken, had come to hope not for the present, but for the future."

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

"You mean that even if the present sucks, the future will be different ......?　That's too vague. ......

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

"The man's situation was so bad that he knew it was right."

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

　...... Yes, of course.

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

　The curse that was consuming the royalty in Samaria was the souls of those whom the heroes had once saved in the battle against the evil dragon.

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

　The people he saved were killed because of him.

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

　That alone should have been tragic enough, but considering the circumstances surrounding the previous heroes, it is not surprising that something even worse happened.

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

"In his despair, the man put his hope in the future. But for him, that hope was--"

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

　Then, as if to pause for a moment, Mr. Farga closes his eyes sadly.

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

　The next time he opened his eyes, his words were not directed at the hero, but at me.

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

"Usato, I want you to believe in people until the end. No matter how angry you may be, no matter how disappointed you may be, never let yourself fall into hatred and darkness."

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 can't even imagine now what it's like to hate, but I'll keep Master Farga's words firmly in my mind.

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

　Satisfied with my answer, Farga let out a sigh as if releasing the tension and shifted her gaze from me to Norn.

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

"Yes. I have nothing to say. Norn."

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

"Yes. Well, since you are leaving here today, I will at least give you something to help you on your journey."

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

"Oh, thank you."

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

　Food and water are essential for traveling.

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

　I hear it's a bit far to the land of the beastmen, so let's take what we can get.

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

"And I will arrange a ship for you to return to the Lingle Kingdom. The ice will have melted by the time you get here, and we can take the boat down the river and bring you closer to the Lingle Kingdom.

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

　So the way back will be easier than the way there?　That would be nice, but first we have to get to the beastmen's country.

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

　It has been a really long week.

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

　But what I have realized here has not been in vain. I learned my own way of fighting, the cage that Mr. Farga made for me, and I learned how to strengthen the lineage of healing magic.

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

　And Leona was able to follow her own path of heroism.

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

"Oh, by the way, where is Leona?"

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

　When I tilted my head and wondered why I had not seen her today, Norn-sama answered my question.

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

"I asked Leona to see you all off before you leave here.

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

"Is that so?"

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

　You're going to see me off.

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

　Good. We won't have to say goodbye without seeing each other at the end.

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

　I wanted to thank her again for reminding me that I had forgotten something important as a person who helps people.

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

　Fortunately, I had the opportunity to do so, and after saying goodbye to Norn and Falga, I returned to the ground to prepare for my journey.

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

I was so relieved to have the opportunity to say goodbye to Master Norn and Master Farga.

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

　After getting ready to leave for the land of the beastmen, we woke up Bulrin who was coasting in the stables by the castle, said goodbye to the maid who had taken care of us until today, and departed from the castle.

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

　According to the maid, Leona is waiting for us at the castle gate.

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

　As soon as I went out to the place where I could see the gate, I noticed two figures at the inner door of the gate.

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

　I thought Leona was the only one who came to see me off, but I wondered if there was another person there.

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

　As I approached, I could clearly see Leona's figure and another person.

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

"......A"

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

　Next to Ms. Leona was a man supporting himself with a cane.

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

　The man looked familiar. Or rather, it was not only familiar, but it was Mr. Karon, the man with whom I had just had a mortal encounter the other day.

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

"Oh!　You're here!"

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

　Mr. Karon, a man who had cut his long hair short, turned to us and waved his hand in our direction.

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

　Leona saw him, pressed her forehead against his and sighed.

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

"Kalon, don't push yourself too hard. You just woke up today."

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

"I'm fine. I know."

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

　Mr. Karon, who replied to Leona in such a way, was a person with a fresh atmosphere unlike when he was out of control.

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

　He looked at us as we arrived at the gate and smiled a friendly smile.

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

"As you probably already know, I am Kalon. I used to be a knight of Mearaq. I am very sorry for what happened. And thank you, I would have destroyed my home with my own hands if it weren't for you."

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

"Uh, uh, ......, uh, are you all right?"

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

　Mr. Karon bows his head deeply to me and I get flustered, so I quickly ask him if there is anything wrong with his body.

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

　After all, I am not used to being thanked face to face.

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

"Thanks to your healing magic, I haven't been injured at all. I didn't expect to be beaten up while being healed by your healing magic. Ha-ha-ha."

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

"Did you have a memory of the fight?"

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

　I ask him if he has any memory of the fight, upset that Mr. Karon remembers hitting him in the process of rescuing him.

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

　He nodded to my question.

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

"Yes, I had a memory, though it was a very short one. I remember the damage you did to the people of Mearaq, the fight with Leona ......, and the way you tried to save me at the cost of your own life."

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

"......I was just being reckless. Leona and my friends have saved my life many times, and I couldn't have saved you alone.

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

"It's great to have friends who are willing to help you even when you're reckless."

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

　What a pleasant personality!

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

　I can see why Leona is an ideal knight.

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

　Now that I know his personality, I ask him a question that has been on my mind.

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

"What are you going to do now, Mr. Karon?"

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

"Well, ...... first of all, I have to atone for my sins. I myself am the one who put Mearaq in danger, even if it was because of the dragon power that lies dormant inside me that went out of control. I will be punished accordingly after Mialak is restored."

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

　It would be nice if the crisis in Mearaq was over, but Mr. Karon cannot be blamed for his outburst.

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

　As a matter of fact, I'm sure Master Norn and Master Farga will make things easier for him because of the reason. .......

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

"Besides, I can't be a knight anymore."

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

"What? Why?"

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

　You can't be a knight. ......?

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

　As I tilt my head, Mr. Karon shows me the staff in his hand.

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

"I can't knead magic anymore. Maybe that's why I can't walk properly without it. Well, it's not so hard to live a normal life, but my body has become too fragile to fight as a knight."

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

"...... I wonder if you mean that the temporary and forced awakening has put a tremendous strain on Kalon's body......?　It has even reached a stage where even Usato's lineage enhancement cannot heal it. ......"

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

　I fall silent as Nea murmurs behind me.

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

　If I had helped him earlier, this might not have happened. It may be arrogant of me, but that's what I think.

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

"It's not your fault. It was always a crazy idea for a man to turn into a dragon. I lost my power of magic after that change, that's all. ...... And besides, even without me you have someone to rely on. Like the serious lady knight next to me.

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

"Don't call me funny names."

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

　Leona glared at Mr. Karon with a jealous look.

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

　He turned his gaze away from her and put his hand on my shoulder.

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

"So, there is no need for you to worry. What you did was not wrong."

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

"Okay!　That's it from me!　Leona. You had something you wanted to say to them too, didn't you?

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

"I was the one who was supposed to see them off in the first place. ......"

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

　Leona took her hand off my shoulder and looked at Mr. Karon, who stepped back, as if she was disgusted with him, and stepped forward to replace him.

　Why are you silent ......?

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

　The first time I saw him, he was looking straight at me, but his gaze gradually shifted downward.

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

"Leona-san?"

"Shut up, Kalon!

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

　Leona yells at Mr. Karon, her face reddening.

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

　I laugh at her and try to talk to her to relieve the tension.

"Yes. Yes, it's very cool.

　In Leona's hands, the weapon has been transformed into the shape of a spear.

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

　It is so much cooler than my too-simple baskets.
