　The assailant who shot an arrow at me.

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

　Amako asked me to chase after him, and I was running through the trees.

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

　Aruk and the others must be chasing after me, but I would get lost if I ran too far away from them. If I am to catch him, I must do it as calmly and quickly as possible.

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

　But this is the beastmen's home ground. There are too many trees for me to run as fast as I can.

"The trees are in the way ......!　I can't run fast enough ......!"

"What are you talking crazy about?

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

　Yes, the distance itself is getting closer, but only by a little bit.

　The beastman running in front of me is faster than I expected. From her back, she looks like a girl, but from the gray ears and tail that I can see, I wonder if she is a wolf beastman.

　Even my legs, which had managed to escape from Rose when she threw me into the forest and played hell tag with a grand grizzly bear, could only keep up with her little by little.

"Huh, I guess I'm not ready for this yet. ......"

　All right, let's go back to the drawing board and add some running to our training today.

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

　A smile naturally forms around my mouth as I realize my future training plan.

How could they catch up to me?　Help me!

　How come they are the ones asking for help?

　He grips his right hand, which still has the cage attached, and stares ahead.

"Nah, hold on!"

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

"What the ...... Kya!?"

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

　He leans forward, steps down hard on his right leg, and leaps out of the water with a mighty leap.

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

　Seeing me rushing toward her at a high speed, the beast girl, her face turning blue, avoids my hand that tries to catch her with her amazing reflexes.

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

　Unable to stop with the same momentum, I walk right past her... but..,

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

"Hi!"

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

　I slam my right back fist into a tree and change direction, turning my attention to the beastman girl.

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

　I finally caught up with her. She must be able to understand me if I'm this close!

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

　I try to smile as much as I can and talk to the girl so as not to scare her.

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

"Calm down!　I'm human, but I won't hurt you!

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

"No, you're lying!　How can a human move like that!　I know what you are, you monster disguised as a human!

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

　With tearful eyes, the beast girl climbed up the tree behind me with the ease of a cat, and moved from tree to tree with the agility of a monkey.

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

　Looking up at her, I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

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

"Nea, I think she knows who you are."

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

"No, I think it's you. I mean, I'm an owl now."

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

　Oh, that's right.

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

　It's quite a feeling to be treated like a demon by a girl you've almost never met before.

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

　It's funny, I tried to smile as much as I could.

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

"......I can't let her get away with this. Nair, prepare a binding spell.

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

"Healing magic restraining bullet?　At that distance, even you can't hit them.

　He produces several small healing magic bullets from his right palm.

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

　Now that I am assisted in the manipulation of magic by the basket hand, my healing magic bullets are enhanced.

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

　Originally, this technique was designed to heal multiple wounded people in a melee situation, but if Nair's binding spell is added to it, it changes into a technique that can cast a binding spell on multiple enemies.

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

　The name of this technique is--,

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

"Healing Magic Ranbun!"

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

　The magic bullets are thrown in the direction of the girl with force.

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

　The magic bullets leave my hand, split up as if they were popping, and hit the area around the tree the girl jumped over with a thudding sound.

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

　The girl crouched down on the branch of the tree and screamed in grief.

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

"My hand, my hand, I can't move!　Wheeeeeee!

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

"Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. ......"

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

　Nair is a bit surprised, but the healing magic bullet is a basically harmless technique.

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

　Like the healing magic bullet, this technique does not have the power to kill or injure the opponent. All that exists is a healing spell that is gentle to the body and a restraining spell that only disables the body for a moment.

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

　And the girl was hit directly in the right arm, and her arm was temporarily restrained.

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

　A momentary gap, but more than enough for me.

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

"I'm going to have to ask you to come down from there!"

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

I'm going to knock you off!

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

　I charge at the tree where the girl is, as fast as I can.

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

　Even if I climb up the tree, she will run away while I'm up there. But there is no way I can convince her.

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

　Then, I have no choice but to force her to come down, even though I don't want to.

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

　With all my might, I jump and kick the tree, shaking it violently.

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

　The girl is shaken off the tree just enough to break it, and falls headlong to the ground, but I catch her with both arms.

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

"The operation has succeeded, hasn't it?

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

"You're even more of a monster now that you're in Mialak, you ......."

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

　Why do people have to say that when all I did was throw and run and kick ......?

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

　Oh, right.

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

　We need to find out if the girl who caught him is safe. I cast a healing spell on her as soon as I caught her, but I'll be in trouble if something happens to her.

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

Are you okay?　I'm sorry. I have to do this much to talk to you. ......?"

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

"That ......."　

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

　The girl who caught him had her eyes white.

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

　She remained motionless and motionless. Nair noticed the girl's condition and looked into her face quizzically, then turned to me awkwardly.

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

"You've fainted, haven't you?"

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

　This is similar to the symptoms of the injured knights who were brought by the strongmen during the war against the Demon Lord's army.

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

　They look as if they have seen something terrible and are stained with fear. ...... I see.

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

"Poor guy, he must have been scared of falling from such a high place."

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

"You definitely know what you're talking about, don't you?　It's obviously your fault, isn't it?

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

You're putting me on the same level as those face weapons!　I don't care how much you think you can get away with it!

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

Why do you have to be so angry?

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

　I've been called a monster many times, but I won't be silenced by the real monster faces of the rescue squad.

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

　I'm still human.

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

　With the unconscious girl in my arms, the bickering that had begun continued until Amako and the others arrived.

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

Amako and the others arrived.

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

　We were able to catch the beast girl unconscious, though unwillingly, and we temporarily rested there, waiting for her to wake up.

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

　In the meantime, we talked to Amako, who told us that the girl was also an acquaintance of Amako.

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

　The girl's name was Rinka.

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

　She is a wolf beastman with gray ears and tail, and was a friend of mine before I left the beastman country. As for why she was aiming an arrow at me, I guess she was trying to save Amako who was with a human.

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

　Now that I know why she attacked me, I still have one question.

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

Why did she target me?

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

　The girl fainting in front of me tried to take me down first.

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

　If she had only targeted me by accident, that would have been the end of it, but it was obvious that she was concentrating only on me, and that's what bothered me.

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

　Amako took one look at the passed out Linka, who was using Burlyn's relaxed body as a pillow, and looked back at me with a worried expression on her face.

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

"Maybe it's because Usato seemed the weakest?"

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

"The Linka I know wouldn't hurt an animal unnecessarily. On the other hand, Usato looks normal, so he probably thought it would be better to go for Usato compared to Aruk, who looks strong from the atmosphere.

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

"I see. Usato looks weak. But when you open the door, he's a monster who grabs an arrow on sight.

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

"You guys don't think it's right to emphasize that, do you?　Why do I have to take so much flak from my own side?"

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

　I cry sometimes too, you know?

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

　No, I'm aware that I look weak.

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

"I wonder if I can be like the Commander and not get shot by an arrow out of nowhere. ......"

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

　He is always in a predator-like mood, and his eyes are always on the shooter.

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

　When I tried to imitate Rose as I imagined her while brushing my hair, the three in front of me turned pale in unison.

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

"Usato, I'm sorry. It's fine the way it is."

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

"I'm sorry. You don't have to change.

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

"Usato-dono, now is the best time for you."

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

　It's creepy that Aruk-san is suddenly so nice to me, though.

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

　What?　Did I look that bad?　I didn't even know I looked that bad.

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

"...... everyone, Linka's going to wake up."

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

　Amako turns to Linka. Apparently he saw her wake up in his premonition.

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

　Amako quickly moved to stand beside Linka, hiding us, and gently shook her shoulder.

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

"Linka, are you okay?"

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

"Ugh, ugh,...... the monster, the monster is chasing me,...... ugh, yeah, what is it?"

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

　Linka opened her eyes in a swoon and stiffened when she saw Amako's face, then sat up quickly and hugged her.

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

　She couldn't see us, but was sobbing with relief.

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

"Ah, Amako, it's been a long time!"

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

"Hey, long time no see, Rinka."

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

　I had heard that they were the same age, but Amako was shorter than him, so he couldn't get out of it and was left to do as he was told.

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

"You were captured by that human-skinned monster, and you escaped!

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

　That's a terrible thing to say at the outset.

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

No, actually...

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

What the hell was that?　How could he catch up with me, the fastest beast of the wolf tribe, and he even had the cunning to try to trick me, and he even used magic to curse me, so, so, so ...... I was scared, so, so ...... ugh! ......"

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

"Yes, it was scary. I know exactly what you mean."

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

　That's a terrible thing to say.

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

　Don't you agree with me, Amako?

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

　I slap Nair, who's laughing beside me, with a decapitating slap, dismayed by Rinka's words that cut into my mentality.

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

　Let's just wait until she calms down.

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

　After a few minutes of watching Amako comforting the crying Linka, she finally stops crying, and then Amako starts talking about us.

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

"Linka, I know there are a lot of things you want to know about me, but there is something I want you to know first."

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

"Yeah, anything?"

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

"Well, look behind you."

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

"What's behind ......?"

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

　Linka follows Amako's words and turns around.

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

　Her eyes meet mine with what I assume is a subtle expression on her face.

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

　I awkwardly apologize to her as her face goes stone cold with a beaming smile.

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

"No, I'm sorry about that ...... earlier, okay?"

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 didn't mean to scare you. ...... hmm?"

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

"...... Linka?"

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

　Amako taps her on the shoulder as she remains frozen and motionless. She still doesn't respond, and Amako lets out a sigh and looks at me with a stern stare.

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

"She's passed out again. ...... Usato, what did you do to Linka?"

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

"I just pulled him down from the tree.

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

　I can't tell him that I caught him by kicking him down a tree after I upset him by hitting him with a healing magic bullet.

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

"No, you didn't. I hit him with a magic bullet with a binding spell and kicked him out of the tree to catch him."

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

"I know you can't help it, but that's too much ......."

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

　Nair exposed me as soon as he could.

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

　Amako was right, even though she was the one who had shot the arrow at me, I had gone too far.

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

"Anyway, let's wake her up again. This time I'll tell you about Usato and then we'll meet face to face. Usato and the others will stay a little far away.

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

"Okay."

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

　Disgusted by my treatment of something so completely horrible, I follow Amako's words and leave the place.

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

　After a few minutes or so, Rinka wakes up once more and says almost the same words to Amako as before. She added a new voice of fear, saying that she had given him a nightmare and that she had tried to trick him again, but she did not need to be told the reason why.

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

　After explaining what had happened to us, Amaco took Linka by the hand and led her to where we were.

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

"......Ho, are you sure you're okay?　Amako."

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

"Yeah, I'm fine. We've traveled this far together, so you can trust me."

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

　She is still anxious, shrinking down to hide behind Amako's back, but Amako is too small for her, so she is not able to hide at all.

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

　I have been trying to hide myself from her, but she is too small to hide at all. ......Amako is too small for her age, I guess. She doesn't look the same age as the girl in the back.

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

　As I was thinking about this, Aruk-san approached the frightened Linka and made eye contact with her.

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

"Nice to meet you, my name is Arc, and I am traveling with Amako-sama.

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

Nice to meet you. I'm Linka.

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

I'm Nair. I'm the demon you say is disguised as a man.

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

What?　It's me!

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

Guar!

"Huh?　Why is there a blue grizzly here?

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

　Each person introduces himself/herself (?) So I'll do the same.

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

　I'm going to make a good impression by being a 100% smiley brother, which will dispel the image I have so far.

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

　I don't want to scare my friends from Amako.

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

"My name is Usato. I'm Amako's..."

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

"I'm sorry. I'm not scared, don't be mad ......!"

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

　I had only said his name, but he was so scared.

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

　That's funny. I heard that Amako explained about me too.

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

"Amako. How do I explain this to him?　I'm not mad at you, just tell me the truth."

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

"I told him roughly what kind of journey I've been on."

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

"Ah, that makes sense. That's the kind of reaction you get when you find out that the person you're fighting with has had an extraordinary journey. ....... I'm sure the beastman would know about Kalon's outburst."

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

　Yeah, I didn't solve it alone. .......

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

　I guess my first impression of you gives me a bad image of you.

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

"Oh, I told him you're human."

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

"I've always thought that you've been poisoned by Usato too, ......."

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

　For some reason, Nea was taken aback when Amako said this confidently.

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

　I wish she would question the fact that she has to prove that she is human.

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

　......I hope they don't scare me off. For now, it's good to know that I have met Linka, an acquaintance of Amaco's.

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

　It's better than if she doesn't like me, and that makes me feel a lot better.

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

　I let out a small sigh when I see Linka, who is still wary of me and does not come out from behind Amako's back.
