　I've been angry about a lot of things on this trip so far.

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

　Meena for mistreating Nack.

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

　Fegnis for using the word "sacrifice" to describe Eva in Samaria.

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

　Leona for risking her life without regard for herself.

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

　Now I was similar to when I was angry at Ms. Fegnis in Samaria.

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

　The only difference was that I kept my cool and did not show my anger.

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

　I was surprised at myself, but it seems that when you are so angry that you can't express it in words, you become calm.

"So, Jinya-san, how do you plan to extract the magic from Amako?"

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

"The same way he did with Kanoko. Probably, Jinya is trying to use to extract the precognition magic from Amako.

"I see, so we just have to destroy it."

"Yeah, ......, not that I've decided that, but ......."

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

"Calm down, Mr. Usato."

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

　Mr. Aruk rebuked me.

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

　Even though I could keep my composure, I thought of using force to solve the problem as before.

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

　I cleared my throat to cover up Hayate's slight reaction, and asked her about something that had been bothering me.

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

"Oh, yes. So, what does this magical tool called look like?"

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

"It looks like a black box, but it's bigger than ordinary magic tools. I think it is about the size of two ...... huts."

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

　I wonder if people can fit inside of them?

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

　Considering all the magical objects we have seen so far, it is very different.

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

"Is it that big?　If so, it seems to be quite conspicuous.

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

"No, it was disassembled after the incident at Canoko. But the disassembled parts are also one of the results of our research, so they have not been disposed of. One of them is the one you saw at the entrance of the building."

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

　That was the one you saw before your audience with Mr. Jinya.

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

　...... It makes a lot of sense now that you have it in the headquarters of the Beast Tribe.

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

　Aruk-san nodded nearby and asked Hayate-san a question.

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

"Does the fact that it is disassembled mean that it will take time to assemble?"

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

"Yes. Yes. It will take at least three days to assemble it, since we have to gather the parts. In the meantime, the soldiers are guarding it very well.

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

　...... I'd just rush in and punch the basket case full force and be done with it.

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

　I won't tell you, though, because there are beastmen here to watch.

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

　But, don't you feel anything when you hear Hayate's story?　I casually look at the soldier on guard with a sideways glance.

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

"Are you ...... lost?"

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

"Usato-dono?"

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

"Oh, no, nothing at all."

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

　Let's not think about the soldier's reaction now.

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

　Anyway, we need to get as much information as possible from Hayate now.

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

How was Amako?

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

"She's in a private room right now ...... no, she's locked up. The owl is a demon, but it was deemed harmless enough to stay with Amako. Oh, and the blue grizzly you brought is with the horses."

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

　Neah's got the owl thing down pat. Good for him." "Good thing he didn't make that stupid 'hoo-hoo-hoo' sound.

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

　The fact that we were able to get Neah inside the beastmen is the best news we've had in a long time.

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

　I'm sure Bulrin is ...... coasting along as usual.

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

　With Amaco locked up, it is unlikely that he will be able to contact us. If they do, it will be through Nair or when Jinya-san brings us together for some reason.

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

"Is now the time to make a move?　No, we should wait a little longer. ......"

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

　< is finished reassembling, we can't afford to wait too long.

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

　Should we just break the shackles and cage and go to Amaco for help right now?

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

　Or should we wait for Amaco and Nair to contact us? .......

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

　No, I can't decide. I'm not sure if I can make such a decision as I'm basically a brainy person.

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

"No, I mean, isn't this the place where my physical training comes into play?"

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

　I have learned the average arm strength of the Beastmen tribe through arm wrestling in the hidden village, and I have also learned their movements through a game of tag(?) with Rinka. I've already confirmed their movements in a game of tag (?) with Rinka. I can at least subdue a beastman soldier with a healing punch.

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

　I don't know how far into the future Jinya-san can see, but if we take out Amako and Kanoko as soon as possible, we can destroy his plan.

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

　While I was thinking about how to move forward, Aruk-san tapped me on the shoulder with his shackled hand.

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

"I'm going to say this again, Usato-dono. Please calm down."

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

"...... Oh, yes. I'm sorry."

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

　I wish Nea and Amako were around at times like this. .......

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

　Whenever I was having similar problems, either Amaco or Nair was there to give me advice. Aruk-san is dependable enough, but I still miss the two people who should be there.

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

　I rely on the two of them more than I know..,

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

"......, someone's coming down."

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

　The sound of someone's footsteps echoes down the stairs from upstairs. It was probably not someone like Hayate, so was it ...... Jinya?

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

　As I was looking at the stairs, bracing myself to see who was coming, I saw an unexpected person coming down from the upper floor.

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

　A silver-haired man dressed in black and a woman with flaming red hair.

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

　They were ordinary human beings by themselves, but they had one thing in common.

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

"Is there a captured man here?"

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

"I don't know. But I found one that looks like him.

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

　Brown skin, horns on his head.

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

　Two people who share the same race as Ferrum look at me, wide-eyed in their prison cell.

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

　The man who spotted us comes closer to the cage.

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

　Naturally, the beast soldier on guard tried to stop him, but he froze in fear when he saw the two men.

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

　No doubt, these two are .......

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

"Demons."

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

"Oh, yes."

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

　I muttered to myself and the demon man affirmed my words, crouching down to make eye contact with me who was sitting cross-legged.

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

　The moment our eyes met, I recalled a familiar feeling and immediately understood.

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

　When I came to the land of the beastmen, I knew who had turned against me.

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

"Nice to meet you?　No, it's been a while for me?　No, it doesn't matter.

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

"That's a very boisterous greeting. Is that a popular way to greet people here?

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

"...... haha."

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

　The demon man, who had a puzzled expression on his face for a moment, smiles more amusedly.

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

"Well, I did it on a whim. The guy behind me got mad at me later, so forgive me. You know?"

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

"That's why the beastman soldier was scared of me..."

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

"That's your fault, isn't it?"

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

　A man of the demon tribe smiles pleasantly.

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

　What is he doing here?　Maybe this man and the woman in front of him are not ordinary. They are strong and dangerous-looking as you can see.

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

　Both Mr. Aruk and Ms. Hayate seem to be aware of this, and they are showing their wariness.

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

"You seem to be in a lot of trouble.

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

"Did you guys instigate Jinya?"

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

　When Hayate mentioned this, the man shook his head.

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

"No, no. All we did was negotiate.

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

"......Hey, are you sure?"

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

"I don't care. I don't care. And I'd hate for people to think that this whole thing is our fault.

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

　The woman behind him tried to stop him, but the man refused.

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

"You can't hold a grudge against us here, can you?　We only came here to ask for your help. We had nothing to do with what the big guys are doing here or what they're doing to you.

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

"So he's trying to ...... antagonize the humans of his own volition. ...... Oh my God. ......"

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

　Maybe Hayate-san still believes in Jinya-san.

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

　They must not have a shallow relationship since they have known each other since childhood.

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

"Beastmen have been oppressed by humans. It would be strange if they didn't turn against each other.

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

"Yes, it's not strange. But many innocent people were killed in the war between humans and demons in the past!　That's why our ancestors tried to live a peaceful life in the deep forest so that the beastmen wouldn't fight anymore!　And now ...... all the people of the beastmen tribe are involved in the war!"

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

　The man who scratched his head in disgust at Hayate's words .

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

"That hurts my ears. But you know, we only asked for your cooperation. Of course we gave you the option of refusing, but it was your chief who accepted.

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

"Yes, I know. I know that what I just said is nothing more than an outburst. ......!　But I have to say it, don't I!　We're going to get caught up in your war!"

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

　Hayate doesn't realize it, but his words are directed at me too.

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

　I can't escape the fact that I showed the letter to Jinya-san, no matter how much I intended to visit the beastmen's country.

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

"Ah, I'm sorry. But just as you have your reasons, we have our own reasons. ......

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

　The man shifted his gaze from Hayate, who was indignant, to me.

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

"I heard from the guys here. They say you're a healing wizard from the Lingle Kingdom?"

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

"...... have you come to kill me?"

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

　The Lingle Kingdom's healing wizards must be hated so much that the Demon Lord's army must have an enemy in their midst.

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

　It's not surprising that they would try to eliminate me, Rose's subordinate and apprentice.

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

　In fact, the demon woman with red hair behind the man is staring at me with a terrible glare.

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

　Unexpectedly, however, the man shakes his head in a funny way.

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

"No. I don't have such an order and I can't touch you now that you're trapped in the beastmen's country.

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

Then why did you contact us?

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

"Because I was curious about the healing wizard who captured Ferrum, who is a prisoner in the Lingle Kingdom. ......It seems, from the look on your face, that you're the right guy."

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

　Oh, no, he took my agitation for granted.

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

　I was taken aback when he mentioned Ferrum's name.

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

"It's not what I expected. I thought he'd be weaker, but he's a ......, he's quite a crazy guy despite his appearance. No wonder Ferrum didn't come back."

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

　That's a pretty rude thing to say, man.

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

　Why would someone I just met say something like that to me?

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

"We're supposed to be enemies to begin with. Why do you want to know about me?"

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

"I have a personal interest in 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

　I have a bad feeling that you are interested in me.

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

　I'm already having a hard time with the current situation, and to be interested in someone who is more ...... powerful than the demon tribe is too much of a nuisance.

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

That's enough. There's no need to talk any more here."

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

　The red-haired woman behind the man said so as they fell silent.

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

　The man looked unhappy, but the red-haired woman glared at him and he stood up reluctantly.

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

"If you're my subordinate, you could be a little more flexible.

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

"He's a temporary subordinate. I'm not here to curry favor with you."

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

"Yes, all right. So long, healing wizard. I look forward to seeing you again."

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

　As for me, I don't want to see him again. .......

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

　I'm relieved to see her finally leave, but then I notice the red-haired woman looking at me, and I pull myself together.

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

"We have the same eyes."

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

"...... eh?"

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

"Eyes with a strong will. Well, it seems he's telling the truth when he says you work for him. ...... maybe we've come to the right place."

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

　You sound like you know Rose personally. Is there some kind of a connection?

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

　The red-haired woman takes one last look at my face and then follows the man to the stairs.

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

　But then someone else comes down the stairs, and we, the men and women of the demon tribe, look toward the stairs.

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

"......Why are you here?"

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

　Following the demons was Jinya-san.

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

　He looked surprised when he saw the two demons trying to go up the stairs.

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

"I was just having some free time, so I came to see who came here. Am I wrong?

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

"I don't want you to act on your own."

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

Ha-ha-ha, my bad. Well then, outsiders should stay back.

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

"...... I'd rather be the one who stopped them. ......"

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

　The men and women of the Demon Tribe are going up to the upper floors, passing Mr. Jinya.

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

　After seeing them off and letting out a sigh, Mr. Jinya turns around and walks to the front of the cage.

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

　If you look closely, you can see someone behind him.

Amako!

　Amaco is lying on the ground.

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

　Mr. Jinya silently shifts to the side and moves her toward the front of the cage.

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

　......Nea is gone.

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

　What's going on?　What is Mr. Jinya's intention in bringing Amako here?

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

"Amako, where's Nair?"

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

"I left him in his room. If you want to talk, I'm the only one who can help you. ......"

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

　I can't read his expression because he is lying on his head.

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

　What's the matter, amako? What happened?

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

　Mr. Aruk, who is standing behind her, is looking at her with concern.

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

"Usato. Don't come to help me ......."

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

What do you mean?

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

"I saw a premonition!"

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

　Amako interrupted me, her shoulders shaking as she tried to keep her voice down.

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

"All my dear friends ...... Usato and Aruk-san are both going to die ......."

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

　Amako looked up so that only I could see her face as she said this, and her expression was filled with determination, far from sadness.
