　I was just relieved to know that I had been saved by Usato. However, as soon as Usato landed on the ground, he jumped to the side to avoid me.

　The next moment, a single-edged sword slammed into the spot where he had been, sending a huge cloud of dust flying.

　Seeing me clinging to him with my hands around his neck, Usato, who had his right arm free with his cage deployed, flicked the tip of the sword thrust out of the cloud of sand with his fist.

　A sharp slash came at my neck from an angle, but Usato instantly burst the magic from his cage and retreated with the momentum of the slash.

　Jinya, caught by surprise, swung his sword at Usato with a deft movement that did not match his large frame. The attack was made with the prediction magic to anticipate Usato's move, but now he has me in his arms.

　He anticipates the attack with more foreknowledge than Jinya's move, and tells it to Usato.

"Cut up from the lower left, kick the sand and blind him,...... you can counterattack."

"Oh, shit!"

You're not supposed to do that. ......!

　At my words, Usato unleashed his fist, which was imbued with healing magic, without the slightest doubt.

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

　The fist was blocked by Jinya's defensive arm, but he slid to the ground and was pushed backward. Finally, taking a breath, Usato lowered me to the ground and turned his attention to Jinya.

"That really came out of nowhere, didn't it? The fact that he attacked me without hesitation suggests that he doesn't like what's happening.

"......, why do you come here again!　Why did you come here again?

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

"Because we have our own reasons for not doing so."

　Usato replied, looking behind Jinya and frowning.

　Behind Jinya, a Kondo soldier lay bleeding. One of the Kingsguard soldiers controlled by Nair ...... had tried to seize Jinya, but his sword must have cut him down.

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

　Seeing this, Usato creates a healing magic bullet and throws it at the fallen soldier. The healing magic bullet hits the fallen soldier and spreads throughout his body, and his face, which was distorted with pain, becomes calm.

　Jinya, who had been silently watching Usato's action, brushes off a little blood on the sword in his hand.

"That's very kind of you. It's repulsive."

"...... your people. You could have knocked him out without hurting him."

"We don't need a liability who is manipulated by the enemy. I don't need you, a stranger, telling me how I should treat my men."

"......"

　Usato's eyes are becoming more and more swarthy.

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

　He is understandably angry because ...... Jinya's behavior is what Usato seems to dislike the most.

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

　Jinya, completely oblivious to Usato's mood, readied his own weapon.

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

"Jinya!"

　Just as Usato was about to ready his fist without saying a word, Hayate in his armor came out from the chaotic surroundings. Behind him, Aruk-san was holding off a soldier who was trying to attack Hayate with his sword in its scabbard.

"It's you this time, Hayate."

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

　After regaining his breath, Hayate opened his mouth, wiping the sweat from his face.

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

"Jinya, give it up already. Your plan has been destroyed."

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

　With my rescue, Jinya's plan has been foiled.

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

　It was already a foregone conclusion that the project would fail when Nair took control of the researchers who were the key to the plan.

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

　However, Jinya's answer to Hayate's words was cold to the core.

"I refuse."

"Don't you think anything of this!!!!"

　Hayate indicated behind him with his arm, where a scene of fighting between his men and the soldiers here was spreading out. But there was no anger on the soldiers' faces, only sadness and hesitation.

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

　A near senseless conflict with their own people.

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

　And depending on the outcome of that conflict, it could determine their fate to form an alliance with the demon tribe and go to war with the humans. For the beastmen who have been living peacefully in the depths of the forest, this can never be a good thing.

This is a battle I started!　Still, I have to say it!　Jinya, not everyone here wants to fight!　So ...... if only you would give up fighting ......"

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

"That's a stupid question. I'm here to do what I'm meant to do."

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

"Why ....... What is it that drives you to fight so ......?"

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

I'll ask you the opposite. Why do you put up with it?

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

　In contrast to Hayate's voice, Jinya tilts his head with a blank expression on his face. Hayate's reaction is so strong that she is absolutely mortified.

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

"Humans have mistreated our race. For a long, long time, we have been treated like livestock by humans. Nowadays, the slave trade of beasts is rampant, and people throw stones at us just for being beasts. Why do you put up with such treatment ......?"

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

"It is true that some beastmen are treated badly by humans. ....... But that is no reason to deprive Kanoko and Amako of their lives. Do you understand what you are saying?　The measures you are taking are the same as what those people are doing to you."

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

　After a few seconds of silence, Jinya answers Hayate's point.

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

"Precognition magic is magic that should be used in battle. Have the past generations of Wing Commander's done something great so far?　They have not. That's why we should put an end to the useless Wing of Time and use it in a more meaningful way.

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

"......Oh, I finally get it."

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

　It is true that the Wing of Time has not made any great achievements. But that is because the beastmen have lived in peace without any great calamity befalling them.

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

　It is ridiculous to forget that and try to twist the way it should be.

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

　Hayate held her eyes as if dazzled.

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

"I finally understand why you are so obsessed with the magic of prediction, and why you insist on fighting. You ...... just want to use it and wield its power. And you think you're right, with all the right reasons. That's why you and I are so far apart in our conversations."

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

"Jinya, I have been talking about the people. But you, from the beginning, have only talked about battles. Are the people you are supposed to protect nothing more than tools to you?"

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

　Jinya is silent at Hayate's words.

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

　Hayate took this as an affirmation, and looked up, her voice quietly and indignantly strained.

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

"Jinya, you are a child who flaunts the toy you have stolen from others, the magic of precognition. You want to show it off, and you have brought everyone around you into it. Do you know how selfish and stupid that is?"

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

Are you finished?

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

"...... Yeah, it's all over. I can't call you my friend anymore."

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

　Just because you're in a higher position doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.

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

　But even that word doesn't work with this person anymore. He thinks he is right and does not recognize how selfish his actions are.

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

　I'm sure that even Hayate's words don't reach this person at all.

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

"It's not over yet. We just need to cut down all the traitors and return Amako to ."

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

"...... do you think I'd let you do that?"

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

"I'll kill you. I'll put an end to you myself.

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

　As Jinya shows her willingness to fight no matter what, Hayate sadly lowers her eyes and puts her hand on Usato's shoulder.

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

"Usato, I'm sorry. This was my last chance to stop Jinya, but I couldn't ...... stop him."

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

"It's okay. It's okay. He's going to fight to kill me. So stay back and stay out of it."

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

"I'm so sorry. Amako, let's move you to a safer place.

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

　Hayate says yes, but I shake my head.

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

　This country is in such a chaos that there is no safe place to be found anywhere. I already knew the safest place for me.

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

I am with Usato. This is the safest place for me.

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

"...... I see. Okay, then. Usato, I'm going to go subdue the soldiers and beat the hell out of that clueless guy. I was his best friend, and I'm ...... asking you to do it for me."

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

"Yes, you're in charge."

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

　Hayate saw Usato nodding his head and left.

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

　The only ones left were Nea, who was controlling the people she had made her servants on the , myself, Usato, and Jinya, who was holding his sword.

"Amako, are you sure?　Are you sure you want to be near me?

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

It's okay. I believe that Usato will never lose.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, I see. Well then, I can't lose.

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

　After exchanging a few pleasantries, I move behind Usato.

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

　Jinya glares at Usato, his intimidation sharper than before.

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

"I will kill you and complete <>. I will then use the most powerful unit I have to punish the humans."

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

"Then I will stop you as a lifeguard."

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

　Jinya reacted with some surprise at the word "rescue squad" coming out of Usato's mouth.

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

"...... lifeguard?　Well, when I heard that you are a healing magician from the Lingle Kingdom, something was bugging me......... I see, you are one of that group of freaks in the country. It's really a hard thing for you to come all the way here.

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

"...... a bunch of freaks...... a bunch of freaks for sure, but..."

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

　As Usato was soberly depressed, Jinya released his posture and smiled wryly.

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

　What is it?　I thought, and I deeply foretold the future, and my face turned blue at the prospect of what was about to happen.

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

　We are going to have a big problem.

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

　I have to stop him before he does something stupid.

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

Usato, don't listen to him!

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

There were brave men in the Kingdom of Lingle. Two very strong and reputed 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

　Usato's eyes widen when Jinya mentions Suzune and Kazuki.

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

　I think I've made a mistake and try to stop him, but Jinya continues to spin his words in a way that I can't interrupt him.

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

Brave" is a word that means a lot to us beastmen. A brave man who was persecuted by people and forced to fight against demons saved the beastmen. Such heroism has now become a title of decoration for the humans.

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

　Saying this, Jinya cowered her shoulders in sorrow.

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

　Usato's face tightens at this move, which seems to strike a nerve.

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

"Is this what you mean by 'this is disgusting'?　You have forgotten your own deeds and have turned around and worshiped the heroes. I don't understand how ugly, stupid, and irredeemable it is.

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

"...... would be different now."

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

"No, it's not different. It's always the same. Power beyond human imagination is a terror to the ordinary man. Envy turns to fear. Fear turns to ostracism. It is human beings who make the same mistakes over and over again."

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

　For this, Jinya's words are not wrong.

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

　The tragedy that happened to the previous generation of heroes was exactly like this.

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

　But what he said from now on was wrong.

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

"Those who deceive themselves in the name of valor are all fools who do not know their own size. They are not prepared, they are not strong, they are not even close... What kind of a brave man are they?

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

　A creaking sound comes from Usato's right hand.

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

　In his mind's eye, he must be thinking of the brave ice-crafters he fought with at Mearaq.

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

　Usato was silently angry at the way he had humiliated her, who had suffered so much and finally found her own way.

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

"The Kingdom of Lingle is being invaded by the Demon King's army, and the two brave men belonging to it. They must be very important 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

　Jinya smiles slightly at Usato's upset reaction.

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

　Convinced of something, he uttered the decisive words in a tone of mocking exaggeration.

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

"When we attack the Kingdom of Lingle with the Demon King's army, the first thing we will do is decided.

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

　No.

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

　No.

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

　Don't say another word.

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

　Jinya's outrageous behavior made me look at Usato in panic, but it was too late.

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

"To make a bloodbath of two people who deceive the name of a brave man, and to kill them atrociously..."

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

　Usato was already gone when I turned to look. Instead, there was a dull thud and an inaudible scream from up ahead.

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

　As I fearfully turned my head forward, I saw Usato with his fist screwed into Jinya's stomach, crushing the sword he was holding in a careless manner.

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

　It was immediately clear that this was an attempt to make Usato angry, to take away his composure and make his movements monotonous, after seeing the prediction.

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

　Perhaps even the soldiers belonging to the Lingle Kingdom would have been outraged if Suzune and Kazuki had been disgraced.

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

　But what was a miscalculation for Jinya was that these two brave men were Usato's two best friends.

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

"Gah, gah ......"

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

　Usato grabbed Jinya's collar with the most expressionless face I had ever seen, even with his eyes wide open and blue streaks floating on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was more angry than I had ever seen him before.

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

　It may be his innate kindness that he is still using healing magic, but from Jinya's point of view, it's not a pleasant thing to do. He had too much endurance to remain conscious.

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

"You monster!

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

"...... is..."

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

　Jinya tries to cut Usato with a dagger drawn from his pocket.

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

　He lets out a sigh of exasperation and lightly brushes the dagger away with his hand. Usato kicks the dagger far away from Jinya as it leaves his hand and falls to the ground, and gives Jinya a cold stare.

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

"Yo, foreknowledge is ......"

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

"If you predict where I'm going to avoid and attack, it won't be hard for me to respond if I keep reacting to it."

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

　No, that doesn't sound right.

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

　In other words, as soon as Jinya reads Usato's evasive maneuvers and attacks, Usato immediately responds to Jinya's movements. This is repeated dozens of times in a moment, and finally Usato is winning, which is strange.

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

　Usato, who had easily subdued Jinya, who was two times larger than himself, was alone in his thoughts, ignoring Jinya's attempts to flail about.

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

"I can withstand it because I have a foreknowledge. Is this the only way to knock him out completely?"

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

　Despite the gentle tone of his voice, there was no mercy in his words.

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

　Gripping Jinya's collar once more tightly, Usato threw him as hard as he could upward at an angle. Of course, Jinya was not stunned by this, but was trying to adjust his body position to land skillfully.

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

　However, the attack by Usato, who was staring at Jinya, was something that even I, who had seen it through foreknowledge, could not make sense of.

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

　Looking up at Jinya, who was falling, Usato put his whole right arm, which was wrapped in a cage, in a basket of magic power and pulled it down to his waist. However, the distance between him and Jinya was more than ten meters, and there was no way he could hit Jinya with his fist from such a distance.

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

　Still, he fired his fist.

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

"What does foreknowledge matter when you're in the air?"

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

　Just as Usato thrust out his fist, Jinya's body in the air was blown away with the sound of the wind blowing.

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

"What the hell?"

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

　Jinya fell to the ground and rolled over two or three times.

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

　His abdomen is clearly marked with the marks of his fists, from which the light of healing magic spreads like smoke. I let out a gasp of disbelief, but I could not understand what had happened when I saw it in real life.

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

"......I see, I should use it in this way with less power. It is not only a healing punch to get close and hit them. Let's name it ...... Healing Flying Fist ...... Healing Flying Fist from Healing Cannon."

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

　I called out to him fearfully, and he turned to me as usual.

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

　However, he immediately fell into a state of self-loathing, clutching his forehead.

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

"Haaaa......"

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

"Hey, are you okay?"

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

"No, I'm not hurt. But it made me realize how immature I was to fall for such a cheap provocation. I can't believe that I was so bloodthirsty that I couldn't make a calm decision after being told about my senpai and Kazuki. ...... Even though I came to my senses after the first blow, I unnecessarily hurt Jinya-san."

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

　I suppose it wasn't my fault that I doubted the fact that the first blow had brought me back to my senses.

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

　Because his face was in full-blown anger the whole time.

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

"Is Jinya okay?"

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

"...... even though the attack looks like it blew up pretty badly, it's a bastard of a lineage enhancement, so its healing power is higher than normal healing magic. Don't worry."

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

"Yeah. I know Usato's crazy.

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

　But it ended with Jinya's self-destruction.

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

　As a matter of fact, the measures Jinya tried to take were among the worst, so there was no need to force him to stop. After all, he had it coming.

"......What the hell!　What the hell was that?

　As if to echo my sentiments, Nea, who had jumped down from the <>, came up to Usato.
