　A day has passed since I met up with Inukami-senpai and we started our way home together.

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

　As expected, the trip was more lively than usual with Inukami's presence. Nair and Amako, who were being tangled up with the strangely cheerful senpai, looked tired, but Bulrin, on the other hand, was not able to resist his senpai's evil hands (?). The team is still showing the same iron plate strength.

　Finally, after a long journey, we returned to the place where it all began for us, the Kingdom of Lingle.

"You've come back, haven't you?

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

"Yes."

　I mutter to myself with deep emotion as I stand in front of the gates of the Lingle Kingdom.

　When Mr. Aruk calls out to the gatekeeper to open the castle, he is greeted with a nostalgic view.

　......I really want to go there first, but I'll get to that later.

"Shall we head to the castle first? We have a lot to report."

"...... Usato, is there anything you haven't told me yet?"

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

"......"

"Usato-kun?

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

"Oh, no, I'm sure you'll faint when you hear about this. ......"

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

　As a matter of fact, the only thing I told them about what happened in the beastman's country is that I was able to safely awaken Mr. Kanoko.

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

　I have learned what kind of reaction I will get if I tell the truth.

"No, no, I got used to it when I was an evil dragon!　......Well, you can't be more ...... than that."

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

"There is no comparison. ....... Well, I'll tell you when I report to Mr. Lloyd."

　He replies softly to his senpai, who is holding up his hand as if bracing himself, and shifts his gaze to the view of the Lingle Kingdom, which he has not seen in a long time.

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

"Wow, so this is the Lingle Kingdom. It's a beautiful place, isn't it?

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

　Nair, who was looking around the city in human form, muttered to me.

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

　Come to think of it, this girl doesn't know about this place since she joined us on our journey.

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

"This will be your home for a while."

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

"Well, it doesn't sound too bad. I'm getting a lot of looks at ......."

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

　It is only natural that one of the bravest men in the country, a senior, should be the center of attention since he has returned.

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

　I don't mean to sound so self-centered, but I'm also a member of the rescue team myself.

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

　As we were walking down the street leading to the castle, waving back at the townspeople who were happy to see us return, Amako, who was walking next to us, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

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

　I followed her gaze and saw Sarla, the woman who had lived with Amako in the Kingdom of Lingle, with a look of surprise on her face.

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

"Go ahead. We'll take care of the rest.

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

　Amako nodded happily and ran to Sarla.

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

　After seeing her off, I turn to face forward, relieved to have completed my journey in one piece.

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

I turned to face forward, relieved that I had completed my trip safely.

　Before entering the castle, we left Bulrin in charge of the guards and went to the hall where Master Lloyd was waiting for us.

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

　In the hall, there was Master Lloyd sitting on his throne and Mr. Sergio standing by his side.

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

　We also found Mr. Welsey and Mr. Sigurth.

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

　It had been a short time since we had been apart, but it felt as if it had been a long time since we had seen each other.

"Suzune, Usato. Thank you for your safe return. The knights who served as your escort also did their best.

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

""Ha."""

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

　He kneels down and bows his head.

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

　I look at Nair from the side, and see that he is bowing his head in a very gentle manner.

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

　I was relieved to see that she could read the air at times like this, since she could have been disrespectful and caused a scene.

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

"Keep your head up. ......I have heard about your activities through reports in Hooverd and letters from other countries. You really ...... did a really good job."

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

　I follow Mr. Lloyd's kind words and look up.

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

"...... You must be tired from your long journey, aren't you?　You can report back to me later, I'm sure Kazuki and Celia are looking forward to seeing you and the others again.

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

"!　Kazuki is already back?"

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

Yes, about five days ago. He was very worried about you and the others.

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

　Thank goodness ...... that Kazuki is back safe and sound.

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

　I really want to follow Master Lloyd's advice and go get some rest, but I have something to tell you right away.

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

"Master Lloyd, I have an important report."

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

What?　Usato.

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

　Once I have sorted out what I am going to say to the wondering roids, I slowly begin to weave my words.

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

"What I am about to tell you is also an important secret of the floating city of Mearaq.

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

"Mialak secrets. I'm sorry, but the knights will have to leave for a while."

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

　The knights, including Mr. Krumeier and Mr. Alc, leave the room.

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

　Only a few vassals, Mr. Welshy, Mr. Signis, and Mr. Inukami remain.

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

　In the quiet hall, the senior member speaks to me in a hushed voice.

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

"Usato, are you talking about the weapon of the brave?"

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

"I apologize while I still can."

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

There's something I haven't told you yet.

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

　With that, he turns to Master Lloyd.

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

　After making sure that he was completely rid of the man, Mr. Lloyd urged me to talk to him.

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

"Well then, please, Usato."

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

"Yes. Mr. Lloyd, are you aware of the events that took place in Mearaq?"

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

"Of course. The knight of Mialark turned into a dragon man and went on a rampage, is that right?

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

Yes. During that event, I had a chance encounter with a certain being.

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

　He pauses and takes a small deep breath.

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

　I am nervous to talk about him, even though I have no choice but to explain about the hero's weapon.

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

"Master Farga, the divine dragon. He is the dragon who presides over and , and is said to have made the weapons of the previous heroes.

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

　What was that voice that almost made me gulp just as I was about to hold my breath?

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

　No, let's not look next to him now for his honor.

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

　As I was looking away from him, Mr. Welshy spoke to me, his voice trembling.

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

"Sh, Shenlong!　A divine dragon actually existed?

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

"Yes. He is quite old, but he certainly exists. We have ...... proof."

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

　Saying this, I roll up my right sleeve and deploy a cage hand made from the sword of the previous hero.

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

"This is a baskets hand made from the sword of the previous hero, which I obtained on my journey, and which was reworked by Falga-sama.

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

"...... Usato-san. May I take a look at it?

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

　He shows Mr. Welshy his kagote.

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

　She observed it carefully for a few tens of seconds, and then rolled her eyes in astonishment.

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

"...... Can we say that this is a magic tool?　At least, it is not something that can be created by human beings. It's as if the metal itself has become one with the arm,...... and would be impossible even to imitate with existing technology."

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

　Mr. Welsey's reaction caused a stir among the people in the hall.

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

　In the midst of this, Mr. Lloyd, who had been watching the situation silently, opened his mouth.

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

"Usato. I believe your words.

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

"Thank you very much. ......Master Farga is going to make the two heroes of this generation, Senpai and Kazuki, their own heroic armors for the coming battle against the Demon King."

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

"...... What a . It is, however,......"

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

"It seems that Master Farga thinks that the Demon Lord is that powerful."

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

　Master Lloyd puts his hand to his chin, lost in thought.

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

"I didn't think that a being that appears in ...... the stories was still alive. ...... I'm still surprised at my age," he said. Thank you, Usato. I know it must have been hard for you.

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

"I've just been doing what I want to do in a way. ........."

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

　It has been hard work, but almost all of it has been either by getting involved myself or by getting involved and then getting involved.

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

　So I have not regretted a single thing in my journey so far.

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

　Master Lloyd pressed his hand to his forehead at my words.

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

"......The other day, I received a report from Huberd that he had also engaged in battle with two legionnaires of the demon king's army in the Land of the Beastmen. The text sent by Lucas of Samarriar stated that you had broken the terrible curse that had consumed the royal family and saved his daughter. ......"

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

"Usato-kun, what do you mean?"

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

　Lloyd-sama frowns in regret and Senpai looks at me as if I'm a machine that has run out of oil.

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

　I listen to Mr. Lloyd's words, trying not to make eye contact with him.

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

"Both Suzune and Kazuki have had dangerous journeys, fighting powerful monsters. I cannot thank you enough for fulfilling your mission and returning to the kingdom. ......"

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

"It has certainly been a dangerous journey. It was certainly a dangerous journey, but it was not a pointless one, in my opinion.

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

　He says this to Mr. Lloyd, who regrets having sent us on such a dangerous journey.

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

"It was a great experience for me to meet a lot of people and to broaden my knowledge of the world," Lloyd says. What about you, ......?"

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

　He was a little surprised when he was suddenly asked to speak, but immediately looked at Lloyd-sama with a smile on his face.

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

I feel the same way as you do, Usato-kun. I am sure that this trip meant a lot to me as well.

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

"Suzune,Usato......"

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

　Mr. Lloyd meditated on our words for a few seconds.

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

　I cannot read what he is thinking from his expression, but he does not seem to regret his actions as he did before.

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

I am an old geezer. You have grown up much more than I thought possible. Once again, as King of Lingle, I send you my thanks.

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

　Master Lloyd smiled gently at me and my senpai as we bowed on our knees.

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

　However, he seemed to remember something when he saw us and started to growl a little.

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

"How can I help you?"

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

"Uh-huh. I'd like to ask you a few questions ...... after seeing you guys, if you don't mind."

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

Yes, sir. What is it?

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

　I don't know.

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

"There are rumors flying around the country that you two are in love.

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

　The topic was unexpected, and the senpai's shoulders trembled and she became suspicious.

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

　In place of her, I explain to Mr. Lloyd what happened.

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

"Oh, I see, so that's what this is about. We almost had a kingdom-wide celebration ......."

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

"That was a close call. ...... senpai."

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

"So, so, so... ......"

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

　For some reason, he turned his head away from me.

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

　Seeing us, Master Lloyd looked relieved.

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

"But in a way I am relieved.

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

"Why is that?"

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

"Well, I received a letter from Lucas, King of Samaritan, and it included a letter from his daughter. I read some of it because it was put in the same envelope by mistake, but ......, you are not in a corner either."

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

　Sergio hands me a carefully folded letter.

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

　I say no and look through it, and see a thank-you note from Eva, Master Lucas's daughter.

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

　If given to me in a normal way, the letter does not seem to suggest any kind of love affair.

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

　However, if you change the situation, you will see it in a completely different light.

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

"You've got a plan, Mr. Lucas. ......!"

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

"Umm, Usato?　The king's daughter is a princess, right?　As a senior, I'm curious..."

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

　You definitely enclosed this on purpose, didn't you!　It's a far-fetched parental stupidity assist, isn't it!

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

　The content of the letter itself is pretty ordinary, but the purpose is to attract Mr. Lloyd's attention, isn't it!

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

　The moat is steadily being filled!

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

　I was left to my own devices as the senior shook my shoulder with an awkward smile on his face, and Lucas-sama's slightly evil smile flashed through my mind.

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

I was just a little bit too much.

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

　For the time being, we left the hall to make a full report to Mr. Lloyd at a later date.

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

　After parting from Mr. Alc, we were walking along the corridors of the castle with Senpai and Nair.

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

"The curse of Samaritan. I didn't think you were involved in a case related to magic."

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

"It was a terrible incident. The souls bound to this world by magic attacked with substance and, to be honest, I didn't feel like living. ......"

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

"How do souls attack?"

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

"It's like a translucent skeleton biting you, clicking its bones."

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

　I say with a pale face.

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

　I'm not good with ghosts, and I'm still a little traumatized by what happened.

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

　It was a painful experience when the memory of the ghost was forced into my head.

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

"It's all well and good to make small talk, but where are we going now?"

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

　Nair blurted out as she transformed into an owl and hopped on my shoulder.

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

　I've already informed the people at the castle about Néa, but I wish she wouldn't transform so easily in such public places.

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

"We're going to see my friends."

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

"Are you talking about the other brave man?"

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

Yes, that's right.

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

　Mr. Lloyd told me that Kazuki and Celia are waiting for us in another room, so that's where I'm heading.

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

　As we are walking down the passageway, smiling at Néa, who is in a better mood now that she hears that we are brave, we stop when a figure jumps out from around a corner.

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

"Hey, I finally found you!

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

"Kazuki!"

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

　Kazuki, breathing quickly, approached us at a brisk pace, a look of relief on his face.

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

"Weren't you supposed to be waiting in your room first?"

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

"When I heard you two were back, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I ran out of the ...... room. Ha ha ha ......"

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

　Kazuki, smiling as fresh as ever, makes me nostalgic.

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

　......It's really a different kind of reunion from my senior year, isn't it? I'm glad to see both of them.

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

"But I'm so glad you both are safe and sound......!　I've been worried about you for a long time. ......

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

"Oh, ah, don't cry, Kazuki, ......"

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

　Kazuki's voice was getting teary, and my senpai and I were panicking.

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

　Seeing Kazuki, Nair whispers to me with a slightly withdrawn look on her face.

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

"Unlike Suzune, she's so horribly devoid of evil spirits, isn't she? He's scary in a different way. ......"

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

"Kazuki is a pure young man. ......"

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

　He has a pure heart unlike me and Inukami-senpai.

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

　Kazuki, who had been worried about me, was so moved that he wiped his eyes and continued speaking.

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

"I'm sorry ......!　But when I found out that Senpai and Usato had fought a dangerous being,...... I really didn't feel like living,......."

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

"Did Master Lloyd tell you?"

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

No, I heard it from a fortune teller I met in the elven village.

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

"So, so ......, an elf... ...... hmmm."

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

　The older student is very upset.

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

　Elves are a staple of fantasy, so they must be very concerned about it.

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

　I'm managing to keep my self-control for now, but I don't know when it will collapse, so I'll ask the question for you.

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

"What did the fortune teller say about us?"

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

"Two of the three disasters that will happen on this continent were prevented by a brave man who carries thunder in his body and a white healer. ......

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

"The white healer ...... is that me by any chance?"

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

"Yeah. I knew immediately that it was referring to Usato."

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

　The White Healer ...... is just plain, well, very cool.

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

　I wonder why the elven fortune teller mentioned me in the first place.

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

"<><>>>. I managed to defeat the ravenous monster, but it was quite a formidable foe. Without the help of their ...... elves, it is hard to imagine what would have happened by now. That's why I've always been worried about the two of you who fought against beings of equal power to the monsters I faced ......."

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

　In the elves' divination, the evil dragon was placed in the same line?

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

　Well, they were a nuisance that spread destruction and poison when left unchecked. No wonder it was treated like that.

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

"But I'm glad that the three of us are reunited again like this."

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

　Kazuki looks so happy that my senpai and I can't help but laugh along with him.
