　The final destination of the trip, Hinomoto, the Land of the Beastmen.

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

　We visited Hinomoto to save Amako's mother, Kanoko, but what awaited us was the terrible plan of Jinya, the chief of the beastmen tribe.

　With the help of Hayate, the assistant chief, and his men, we managed to stop Jinya's plan and the situation seemed to be under control, but then Koga, a demon tribe who claimed to be the commander of the second demon army, appeared and we had to fight him.

　In the end, we were able to make him admit his defeat and to dismiss him, but in reality, it was as if he had been let off the hook.

　After that, we succeeded in returning the precognition magic that had been stolen from Jinya by Nair to Kanoko and awakening her, and we left Hinomoto to return to the Kingdom of Lingle after staying there for three days or so.

"Hmm, did such a thing happen in the Land of the Beastmen?"

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

"Yes."

　We have now left the beastmen's territory and headed for Mialak, the third country we visited.

　As if anticipating our arrival, Norn-sama greeted us and invited us to the underground cave where Falga-sama was staying after sending Hubard to the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

　There, we first told Mr. Farga about what had happened in Hinomoto.

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

"That was a close call. If the beastmen had teamed up with the demons, this would have been the first place they would have targeted. Even so, if we were attacked while we were still in the process of rebuilding, we would have had no chance."

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

　Mr. Norn looks relieved to hear my story.

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

　It is true that Jinya-san might try to attack Mialak first.

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

　Koga decided that the beastmen could not fight, so he did not do so, but if he had not stopped Jinya-san's outburst, he might have done so sooner or later.

　In that sense, I am glad that I was able to stop him.

"Prediction magic is a magic that will bring ruin if it is in the hands of a greedy person. They forget the present, think of the future, and eventually lose sight of even the present. A man named Jinya cannot even accept the reality in front of him, and has come to fear even the future that will eventually come. He is unable to accept even the reality in front of him and has become afraid of the future. ......It is often said that too much power destroys you.

　Muttering this, Falga now turns his gaze toward us.

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

"But another dark magic user. I have just looked into the memory of your cage hand, and it seems that you have a very nasty temperament.

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

"That's right. ....... I've been on the radar of some really nasty people. ......"

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

"...... you may be destined to attract such people."

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

"I'm kidding."

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

　It's not funny even when it's a joke.

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

　I mean, I don't think that Farga-sama's jokes are jokes at all, but his expression doesn't change at all.

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

"Oh, that's not a joke, is it?

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

"Yes, you are, aren't you?"

　Behind me, a fox cub and a vampire are whispering something, but I can't hear them.

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

　I'll never admit it. ......!

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

　Even if I have a lot of ideas that come to mind. ......!

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

"But I see your journey has finally come to an end."

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

"...... yeah. Now I can finally return to the Kingdom of Lingle."

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

　That's about three and a half months.

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

　It seems surprisingly short, but the events that took place during that time were nothing short of shocking.

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

"It seems that your friends, the brave men and women, have been caught up in the commotion in many places. and , both of which were defeated by the two heroes."

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

"......, you're fighting some dangerous-looking opponent. ......"

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

"Both are dangerous disasters in a different way from the evil dragon. The female hero, Suzune, fought against , a demon that slaughters any creature that enters its domain. It is a mutation of a demon, but it uses ...... advanced intelligence and lightning as its weapons. But most dangerous of all, it is as cunning and brutal as the evil dragon."

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

　Inukami-senpai fought. It's thunder vs. lightning, so maybe they were a good match.

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

　......I wouldn't want to fight such an opponent. Incarnation of lightning is like a constant shimmering, right?

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

　It would be troublesome to run away or to fight.

"The evil monster that Kazuki the Brave fought was a dark monster born from the depths of the forest. This one was sealed by the young heroes who preceded him, and the elves who lived in the forest were supposed to have protected the seal, but it seems that the seal was loosened when the Demon King returned. Fortunately, it seems that the heroes were able to defeat him before he regained his full strength.

"By the way, if you get your power back, you can go to ......?"

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

"He'll devour an entire forest in a single night, and become a voracious eater."

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

"Wow. ......"

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

　Behind me, Nair let out a disgusted grunt, and I felt the same way.

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

　The two of them must have been fighting against a very strong opponent.

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

"When you think about it, the commotion that happened to me doesn't seem like such a big deal. ......"

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

"That's not true."

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

That's not true.

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

"I don't think so."

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

You're just like him.

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

After all we've been through, hey...

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

　Amako, Nair, Mr. Ark, Mr. Falga, and Mr. Norn, in that order, all took their turn.

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

　Their expressions were cramped with a hint of déjà vu.

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

　Why are they all denying it at once? Is there no one on my side?

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

　As my shoulders slumped at the inadequate response, Master Farga, the corners of his mouth twisted in amusement, opened his mouth.

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

"Hu......, the heroes are already on their way to the Kingdom of Lingle before you. Of course, safely.

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

"Oh, well, good. ......"

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

　We were in Hinomoto for a long time, so our return is delayed.

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

　Both Kazuki and my senpai are traveling by horseback, so they're going faster.

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

　Perhaps sensing what I was thinking, Falga-sama looked at Norn-sama and opened his mouth.

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

"I'm having the ship ready for you to board. Norn."

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

Yes. We were ready to go before you arrived, so we can leave today.

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

"Thank you so much for everything ......"

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

"Hmph, that's not even close to enough."

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

　How long would it take to get there by boat?

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

　After all, they are faster than horses, so we might reach the vicinity of the Lingle Kingdom in two or three days.

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

　The return trip might be really easy.

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

"Yes?　Yes, sir?

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

For the last time, I'd like to talk about the weapons of the brave.

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

"Senpai and Kazuki's ......, right?"

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

"Yes, I'll tell you right now that it will take a long time to create a weapon from scratch. If it is possible, we may not be able to create it in time for the invasion of the Demon King's army. Please keep that in mind."

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

I understand. I will tell them that.

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

　I dare not ask about Master Farga's body.

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

　He knows what he is doing. It would be rude to stop him.

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

　Weapons of the heroes that Master Farga creates. What form will it take in their hands?

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

　...... is somewhat easy to imagine. I know.

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

I can't imagine what it would look like in the hands of a man like that.

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

　After our conversation with Mr. Farga, we returned to the ground with Mr. Norn.

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

　After exchanging some parting words with Master Norn, we were escorted by a familiar maid to the boat that would take us to our destination.

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

　We proceeded through the streets of Mearaq with Bulrin and his horse, which were waiting for us outside the castle.

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

　With Bulrin in tow, we are still subjected to the same strange stares, but we are used to them by now, so we don't mind.

"I see that the city is recovering, after all.

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

Yes. It's not in full swing yet, but we have diplomatic relations with other countries, and I think we will soon be able to restore the bustling city to its former glory.

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

　As we were guided, we looked at the streets of Mearaq, which, unlike the first time we visited, were now bustling with activity.

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

　I am really glad that I was able to help Mr. Karon. ......I wonder how Karon and Leona are doing.

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

　I should ask the maid.

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

"Excuse me. How are Mr. Karon and Ms. Leona doing?"

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

"Mr. Karon is busy with paperwork at the castle. After Master Usato left for the beastmen's country, there was much discussion about his punishment, but thanks to Master Norn who revealed his origin and persuaded you all, a heavy punishment was avoided.

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

　If you explained Mr. Karon's origin, did the people of this city know that Mr. Karon is a descendant of Master Farga's ...... dragon?

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

"Mr. Karon himself wanted to receive a heavy punishment. He was unable to walk without a cane due to the effects of his dragon personification and was given the task of instructing Master Norn on the reconstruction of the city."

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

"I didn't know that. ......"

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

"......This is a secret, but when I heard that Usato-sama was coming, I tried to sneak out of the office, you know?　I was tied to a chair by his wife.

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

"Heh, heh ......"

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

　The maid's smile twitches as she giggles.

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

　Is that it?　I wonder if Ms. Karon also feels like she's being gripped by a butt.

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

　Well, I'm glad to see you're doing well.

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

"I'm sure Leona-sama will ...... recognize you soon."

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

"What do you mean?"

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

　Confused by the meaningful words, I follow the maid to the edge of the city and arrive at the harbor where many boats are chained together.

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

　Most of the boats were empty, but there was one boat that was crowded with people.

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

"Oh ......"

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

　The size of the boat is about two times larger than the fishing boats in the original world.

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

　The boat was neither too big nor too small, but just right, and I could see a few sailors carrying in their cargo and a familiar blonde woman in the back.

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

　The maid who spotted her called out to her from behind, somewhat in a good mood.

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

"Leona-sama!"

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

"...... hmm?　What's wrong? Something from Mr. Norn.

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

"We have brought a delegation for you, Mr. Usato."

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

　Leona froze when she saw us.

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

　She tilts her head and greets us.

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

"It hasn't been long ......, has it? Hello, Leona. How are you?"

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

"......Yeah,ah,......yeah,I've been fine."

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

　Why is he acting suspiciously?

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

　Was she unconsciously imitating Rose? As I put my hand on her cheek, the maid opened her mouth with a smile.

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

"Leona-sama. I'll leave the rest to you."

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

"Oh, yeah."

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

"Well then, have a nice trip, everyone."

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

　The maid bowed deeply to us and left the place.

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

　Leona looked at me as if she had made up her mind.

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

"I will be your escort on this boat trip," she said.

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

"Leona-san?"

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

"Is the castle safe?"

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

　She shakes her head and says there is nothing to worry about.

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

"Don't worry about that. I have a man working for me now, whining. He must be very happy to be working with his wife watching over him.

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

　Mr. Kahlon or .......

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

　It seems that even after the Dragon Man affair, his suffering is far from over.

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

　Well, he has his wife, so he must be happy. ...... maybe.

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

"In addition, Master Norn has given us this instruction. In addition, Master Norn also instructed us not to let the benefactor who saved Mearaq from a crisis go home without an escort."

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

"So I sent Leona to ......."

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

　At a glance, he doesn't have the < of a brave man, but I wonder if he is too good an escort. But he could not be more reliable.

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

　......If Leona is working under the direction of Norn-sama, I guess I don't have to bother refusing.

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

"Well then, I'm looking forward to having you as my escort. Leona-san."

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

Yes, it's nice to meet you, too. Let me show you around the ship. I'll have to introduce you to the captain and the crew.

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

　Leona urges me to go up to the ship.

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

　I was worried about whether Bulrin and his horse would be able to get on board, but I did not have to worry because Master Norn had thoughtfully placed some kind of hastily constructed stables at the back of the ship to accommodate Bulrin and his horse.

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

　There were about seven people on board, including the captain and crew, and they must have heard about us, because they introduced themselves and thanked us.

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

　As usual, I am not used to being thanked, so I responded awkwardly. ....... I was glad to get on the ship without any problems.

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

　After the introductions, as we were being shown to our rooms, I noticed that Amako was looking out over the lake surrounding Mialak from the boat.

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

"Is this your first time on a boat, Amaco?"

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

"No, this is my third time on a boat.

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

"Hmm?　I see.

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

"When I sneak into and out of Mearaak, I sneak onto the ship."

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

"Oh, I see."

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

　Yes, the only way to cross the other shore from the beastman's territory is to get on a boat.

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

　...... so this will be her first normal boat trip?

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

　Hmm?　Come to think of it, Nair was confined to the village for a long time before she started her trip. .......

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

"What?"

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

　I looked at Nea, who was walking near Amaco, and saw that she had her arms crossed and an expression of disinterest on her face.

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

　But although she was acting as if she was not interested, it was obvious that she was curious because she kept glancing at the surface of the lake.

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

"Nah, you don't have to do this, okay?"

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

"No, no, I don't have to do anything.

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

"The ship is very rare. I understand, everyone is excited when they get on a boat for the first time.

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

"Am I a child?　Why do you always have to be so clever when I don't need it?

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

　As I was smiling at Nea, who was trying her best to deny it, Leona, who was walking in front of me, turned her head toward me.

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

These two rooms are yours. It will take about two to three days from here to the vicinity of the Kingdom of Lingle. Normally we should be able to get there sooner, but there is a danger of ...... demons, so we will have to be careful on the boat trip."

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

"Will there be demons?"

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

Yes. But don't worry, they're not that powerful. We have weapons on board so you don't have to worry about the ship sinking.

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

　Well, that's a relief.

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

　I don't mind the idea of demons living in the water, but it's better not to encounter them if we can avoid the danger.

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

　Amako and Néa, and I and Arc, step into our respective rooms.

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

　Following Alc who entered first, I was about to enter the room with my luggage when Leona, who had suddenly noticed something, called out to me.

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

"By the way, Usato. What happened to the group uniform you were always wearing?"

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

"Oh, ...... it got torn. I got into a bit of trouble in the land of the beastmen. ......

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

　Come to think of it, you were still wearing the cloak Hayate gave you.

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

　You always wore the group uniform in front of Leona, so it's understandable that you're concerned about it.

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

"What?　Are you all right?

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

"Yes, I got a little windpipe in my shoulder, stomach, and leg, but I was fine.

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

"I don't think that's okay!　What, a windpipe?

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

　Leona is gingerly touching my shoulder and stomach.

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

　For some reason, I was a little scared to see Amako, who had been looking at the surface of the lake, looking up at me with an expressionless face.

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

"Don't worry, the healing magic has cured you."

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

"Yes, well ......, but it must have been something serious for you to get hurt. What kind of monster was it?　Or were you caught in a landslide?"

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

　Why only demons and natural disasters?

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

　I don't know how to answer the question, which seems to unintentionally exclude the possibility of being injured by human beings.

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

　At any rate, it seems difficult to explain right now.

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

"We'll talk about this when we have time."

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

"...... I see. Oh, I'm sorry I stopped you."

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

　Leona hurriedly stepped back and coughed once to compose herself before opening her mouth again.

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

"We are leaving soon. It might be a little bumpy, so be careful. I'm going to talk to the captain, so if you need me, don't hesitate to call 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

　After saying this, Leona turned her back to me and went toward the captain's office.

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

　After seeing her off, I was about to enter the room assigned to me with Mr. Alc, when I suddenly turned my eyes to the view outside the ship.
