　An audience with Mr. Jinya, the chief of the beastmen tribe.

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

　It was not a very good reception, though it is to be expected. He refused to talk about the letter, but what he said about Amako was not so bad for us.

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

　He said that I, as a healing magician, would be allowed to meet Amako's mother, and that Amako could leave the land of the beastmen.

　I was prepared for things to get rather complicated, but fortunately the conversation took an unexpectedly positive turn.

"I'm sorry. I was so arrogant to our guest. ......"

"There is no need to apologize, Hayate-san. Besides, we don't mind it either.

"I'm glad you say so."

　I hurriedly reply to Mr. Hayate who bowed his head in the corridor where I could see the outside view after leaving the room where I talked with Mr. Jinya.

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

　Mr. Jinya's response was not wrong.

　We are strangers, human beings. It's impossible for us to get along with them.

"The chief has always been a man of a difficult and harsh tone. ....... But I didn't expect him to react in such a blatant and detestable manner.

　For a long time, huh?

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

　I wonder if Hayate and Jinya have been friends for a long time?　During the audience, she called Jinya-san by his name, so it might be so.

　While I was tilting my head at the relationship between Ms. Hayate and Mr. Jinya, Mr. Aruk opened his mouth.

"About Amako-dono's mother, are you going there right now?"

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

"Yes, I will take you there right away."

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

　Mr. Aruk puts his hand on his chin as if he is thinking a little about Hayate's words.

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

　Was there something on his mind?　

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

"What's wrong? Mr. Aruk?

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

I'm sorry. Things have been going a little too smoothly, and I've been feeling uneasy.

"Uh, ......."

　I can't help but nod in agreement with Mr. Aruk's words.

　Compared to them, things are going too smoothly this time. So I can understand why Mr. Aruk feels uneasy.

"Ho..."

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

"Yeah. Nothing so far has made me nervous, right?"

　Nair on his shoulder and Amaco next to him are nodding their heads.

　Hayate, who was listening to the conversation nearby, was soberly saying, "I wonder what kind of journey these people have been on. ......

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

"Well, if nothing happens, we can go back to the Lingle Kingdom like this, so we should be rather happy."

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

"Ha-ha-ha, yes. I was a little nervous."

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

　That's right. If we can save Amaco's mother, we can go home.

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

　And we can finally reunite with our seniors who are traveling in faraway places.

　I wonder if Kazuki is doing well. He can be a bit preoccupied, so I'm a bit worried even though I know he'll be fine.

　I'm sure he will be ...... fine, so I'm not too worried about him, but be prepared for a lot of things I want to say to him when I get back.

　While I was thinking about my best friends who are far away, Hayate-san spoke to me.

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

"We can't stand here for ever, so let's get going. I will take you there again, so please follow me.

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 follow Hayate, who walks ahead of me.

　Amako's mother seemed to be located a short distance away from the building, so we put on our shoes and went outside for a moment.

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

I put on my shoes and went outside.　She didn't fit in with the customs here, so I sent her to my father's hiding place. ......"

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

　Hayate suddenly asked me this question as if she had just remembered it, and I laughed.

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

　At first, she scared me, but I know she is not a bad girl, so I choose my words as carefully as possible to reply.

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

"Thank you very much for helping me find my way here. And I was also relieved to see that you and Amako were getting along so well.

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

　Amako looked miffed at my words, and I wondered if she actually had any friends her own age.

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

　So I was secretly relieved that she had a kindred spirit in Rinka.

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

　Hayate-san smiled cheerfully and felt relieved.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, I see. Well, I thought you were still playing tricks on me. I was worried because my father had written so much about it in his letters.

"Heh, heh ......"

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

　I guess she was quite a tomboy. .......

　I wonder if Ms. Kagari had a hard time.

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

　I feel deeply moved as I recall the exchange between Ms. Cagalli and Rinka.

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

"Hayate-san. I have a ...... question."

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

"You don't have to use honorifics. You're my daughter's friend."

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

So, what is it you want to ask me?

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

　Once again, as I was admiring the view of the beastmen's village, Amako was asking Hayate a question.

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

"Earlier, when you were talking to the chief, you were about to say something about ...... your mother's collapse, do you know anything about it?"

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

　Amako's words made Hayate's eyes widen.

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

　He paused for a moment, as if a little lost, then locked eyes with Amako and opened his mouth again, as if determined to do so.

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

"I don't know why I collapsed, but I know what caused it in the first place."

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

"...... you knew?"

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

"Yes. It's a public secret, but I'll tell you.

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

　Considered a secret?

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

　You mean there were circumstances that prevented you from revealing it. .......

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

　I listen to Amako and Hayate's conversation in silence.

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

"Your mother ...... Kanoko, you know. She was researching how to encapsulate her own magic in a magical tool."

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

"Contain the magic ......?"

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

"Magic Sealing Magic Tool<. The research was based on the magic of the heroes who defeated the Demon King.

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

"Twa......"

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

　So, heroes are involved here as well, albeit indirectly.

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

　But why did they try to make a magical tool to contain magic?　Did they want to make it possible for others to use it?　

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

　As I tilted my head in thought, I wondered if Amako did not know the reason why her mother was doing such research, and asked Hayate the reason.

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

"Why, my mother did that ......?"

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

"It's for your own good."

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

　Amako looks up vigorously in astonishment.

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

　Hayate spins the words with a sad face.

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

"A wielder of precognition magic must spend most of his life in this village. You know that, don't you?

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

"Beastmen born with precognition magic, <>, are in an important position to warn the beastmen in advance of external dangers that may be approaching, so they are strictly forbidden to go outside. In fact, your mother has never been outside of this country. So she decided to transfer her own precognition magic into a magical tool and make it available to everyone so that you would not have to go through what she went through."

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

　So, if Amaco had never left the land of the beastmen, he would have lived here forever.

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

　He may have had ...... freedom, but he may have had a suffocating life.

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

"That's why Kanoko has been devoting herself to the development of magical tools for you, her precious daughter, and for the beastman children who will be born with the magic of foreknowledge."

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

"...... but I failed."

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

　Hayate nodded with a somber look on his face.

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

"When the research was at its climax, she had activated Twa on her own initiative," said Hayate. The , which had been activated in an incomplete state, went out of control and Kanoko, who had activated ......, has not woken up since that day."

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

"Mom, you can't ...... do that."

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

"I still don't know why she did it. But ...... we know she wouldn't do something like that for no reason."

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

"...... them?"

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

　I said. It sounded as if someone other than Hayate was involved, so I just said it.

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

　Hayate-san chuckled at my sudden interruption and opened his mouth.

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

"It's the Chief ...... Jinya. Me, Jinya and Kanoko were childhood friends, and I had arranged to help him with his research and to prepare a place for him.

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

"I didn't know that. I'm sorry, I interrupted you. ......"

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

No, no, that's fine.

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

　I mean, Hayate, as well as Jinya, were childhood friends with Amako's mother. It is not so strange for Hayate-san since his daughter, Rinca, is close to Amako, but I didn't think that ...... Jinya-san had such a close relationship with Amako.

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

　I didn't think that Jinya had such a close relationship with Amako. ...... Thinking about it, it's not surprising that Hayate got emotional over the way she treated Amako, the daughter of her childhood friend.

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

"Hmm?"

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

　After I finished talking with Hayate, Amako looked up at me with a worried look on her face.

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

"Before you stopped waking up, you told me not to be like me. She looked sad, as if it was the last time she would ever see me again. ......"

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

"I knew there was something going on."

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

　Maybe something happened to Amako's mother that I couldn't imagine.

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

　Amako seemed to feel the same way and nodded her head with a dark expression on her face.

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

"It doesn't matter now. All I want is for my mother to get well.

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

　We'll definitely help.

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

　For her sake and for the sake of Amako's mother, Kanoko-san.

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

　As I was making such a strong vow in my heart, Hayate-san, who was walking in front of me, stopped.

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

　It seems that he has arrived at the place he wanted to go.

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

　I looked beyond Hayate's gaze and saw a building that was larger than the houses that lined the street around us. From its appearance, it reminded me of a temple.

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

"...... Is this where my mother lives?"

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

"For two years. She's been here for two years. We couldn't wake her up with our power, but there might be hope with healing magic.

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

　We open the door and step inside.

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

　The room is a bleak sight, not what one would expect from its exterior size. In the center of the room, there was a woman in a kimono sleeping quietly on a pure white futon.

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

　She had long, beautiful golden hair like Amako's and fox ears.

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

　She looked as if Amako had grown up just like her. She was so beautiful and young that she could be described as her older sister.

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

"Amako, is this her?"

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

　We take off our shoes and enter the room, and walk up to the place where Ms. Kanoko is laid out.

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

　We looked around the sleeping Mr. Kanoko and saw what looked like magical tools. I don't know what they are used for, but I understand that they are used to keep her alive while she is bedridden.

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

"Hayate-san, do you mind if I take care of Kanoko-san?"

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

"Yes, I will be present, so please take care of her without anxiety.

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

Thank you very much.

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

　In order to use the strengthening of the system of healing magic, in which it is important to imagine how to heal the other person and how you want to heal him, you cannot start without knowing the condition of Mr. Kanoko.

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

　In addition to the conditions for activation of the systemic reinforcement, there is one more thing to be observed by Nair. Let her check if there is any change in her magical power, if she is under the influence of magic, and if necessary, apply the spell of liberation, which is a magic to release magic.

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

　After giving a look to Néa, who is on your right shoulder, you crouch down beside Ms. Kanoko to check on her.

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

　He is sleeping with a peaceful expression on his face, as if he is about to wake up at any moment.

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

　But this person has not woken up for two years.

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

　The most likely possibility is that he has suffered from a brain anomaly caused by the magical tool Hayate mentioned.

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

　I had a hunch that the brain was affected from the fact that he keeps sleeping while he is alive, but this is the most probable.

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

　Once that is determined, I will create a healing magic system enhancement in my palm.

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

　When I was about to apply the enhancement to her, Nair on my shoulder tapped me on the cheek. Did she find something funny?　I turn to Nair, who looks stunned and mutters in a small voice.

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

"This person ...... has no ...... magic power."

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

　No magic power.

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

　What's that?

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

　Confused by Nea's words, I turn to Hayate with the system enhancement activated.

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

"Hayate-san!"

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

"Did you find out something ......?"

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

　Hayate is startled by the sound of my voice, but that's not the point now.

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

　What do you mean you have no magic power? It's impossible for Kanoko to have no magic power, since she had a precognition magic.

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

"Did you know that Mr. Kanoko is losing his magic now?"

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

"He is losing his magic!　Nothing like that from my subordinates. ......"

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

　Either he was unaware of it, or Hayate had not informed him.

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

　Either way, it's impossible for magic to suddenly disappear from the body.

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

　No way, if this person's unconsciousness is due to the loss of magic power, I can heal her..,

"......ッ"

　Shake off those backward thoughts.

　Amako looks at me like she's about to cry.

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

　Seeing her expression, I turn to Kanoko again.

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

"I'll do my best."

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

　I mutter this to myself, and activate the strengthening of the lineage of healing magic in my left hand as well. I had been able to strengthen the lineage without using my cage hand, but it was quite tiring to do it with both hands.

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

　I place the right hand on Kanoko's forehead and the left hand on her abdomen so that the reinforcement will be spread over her whole body.

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

"...... lineage reinforcement"

　I concentrate my consciousness on Mr. Kanoko, tormented by the sensation that all the magic power is being consumed from my body at once.

　But not so much for the nair on my shoulder. I don't know if it's because she's touching me, but she's suffering from a headache and is writhing in pain.

　Amako notices me tilting my head and Néa letting out a cry of anguish, and immediately puts her hand on my shoulder.

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

　At that moment, I was tormented by the sensation of something passing through my body, and this time Amako held her head to her forehead as well as Nea.

"What is this ......?"

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

"Amako, Nair, get away from me!"

　Why are you so ...... okay with this?　I tried to pull Nair and Amako off of me, but without warning, my headache intensified...,

　I heard a woman's voice echoing directly into my head.

　Amako looked down at her mother, who was still asleep, with an expression of mixed bewilderment and astonishment on her face.

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

"Are you all right?

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

　Hayate-san's face turns pale and she asks me and Amako if we are all right.

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

　I'm used to mental attacks, but Amako and Nea are not, so I'm still holding their heads. I tried to cast a healing spell with my remaining magic, but Amako made a small movement with her trembling voice.
