Quiet story: Nack of the Lifeguard

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

　While Mr. Usato is in Lucvis for an important meeting, I am to take care of Bulurin.

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

　Actually, Mr. Nair and Mr. Ferrum were supposed to be asked to do the same, but since they were being trained by Mr. Rose, it was decided that I would take the lead.

　However, taking care of Bullyn was surprisingly easy.

　Cleaning the stables was not too much work, and although I was afraid at first to feed him for fear of him biting my hand off, he ate well without any problem.

　However, there is one thing that troubles me..,

"Let's run. Brulin ......"

"Guru."

　He doesn't want to exercise.

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

　Usato-san has asked me to give him some exercise, but when I ask him to join me, he just turns his head away and gives me a blank stare.

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

　Is he trying to make things easier for me because of Usato's absence?

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

　......Maybe he's simply taking advantage of me.

"Grrrr!"

"I can't piggyback on you. I'm not as strong as you, Usato, and I'd be crushed instead of walking."

　As a matter of fact, the morning after Mr. Usato left for Lucvis, I went to wake up Bulrin, and he, sleepwalking, climbed on my back.

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

　I immediately collapsed and escaped being pinned down, but suddenly there was a tremendous pressure on my back that was so heavy that it was impossible for me to resist, and I was prepared to die rather seriously.

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

　Since that day, I have been trying to stay away from sleepwalking bullrats.

"Huh. ...... Usato said!　If you don't move now, Rose will be in charge of your training!"

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

"Grrr!"

　Bulrin gets up instantly and walks slowly to the exit of the stables. I go out of the stables to run with Bulrin, while being reminded of the strangeness of Mr. Rose, who is feared even by demons.

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

　However, Usato-san always told me to be careful when I use this method, because Bulrin will hit me... ...... but he never does that to me. If he did, I'm sure it would be a fatal blow.

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

　Is it possible that he only does it to Usato?

"Ha,ha......"

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

"Gruaaaah!"

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

　I catch up a little faster with Bulrin, who is running ahead of me.

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

　I've gotten used to running during my time at the lifeguard station. I'm not allowed to run as fast as Mill and the others yet, but I'd like to try it when I'm older.

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

　I run with Burrin so as not to disturb my breathing, and find Ferrum and Nair being trained by Rose in the lifeguard training area.

<< You little owl!　Next time, belly up! >>

　Mr. Ferrum, the senior member of the group, is screaming as he rolls on the ground after being hit by a magic bullet.

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

　Néa, Usato's messenger, is blown away by a direct hit from a magic bullet to her abdomen, screaming like a little girl.

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

　And Rose, who was standing upright, shot a magic bullet she had created with her healing magic at them.

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

　However, it is amazing that we can't see Rose's movement of releasing the magic bullet at all.

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

　I can only see her standing normally, but every time Rose-san's right arm shakes a little, the magic bullets fly toward Mr. Ferrum and Ms. Nair.

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

"...... training to avoid magic bullets, huh?"

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

　It is not strange to hear screams in training, but what is it?

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

　I shudder at the familiarity of this training in Lukvis.

　My shoulders shake as I remember Usato-san cursing at me with a smile on his face, or Usato-san slamming magic bullets at me with an ogre's look on his face.

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

　To be honest, I vaguely remember those days because I was too desperate to keep up with the training, but I was traumatized by the endless magic bullets of healing magic that flew at me with physical force.

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

"Oh, that's strange. My body is shaking. ......"

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

"Guru ......"

　Bullein is looking at me with somewhat sorry eyes.

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

　I pat him on the head, and after regaining my composure, I turn my attention back to the training ground.

　Nea rolls on the ground, screaming her vindictive voice against Usato, who is not here.

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

　With Mr. Ferrum on the ground with his eyes completely rolled back in his head, the scene was almost a mass of corpses.

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

　After seeing them lying on the ground, Rose-san, who had told them to take a break, noticed me near the entrance of the training ground.

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

"Nack. You're going for a run now?"

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

"Uh, yes."

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

　I answer honestly, as I have done nothing wrong.

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

　Basically, I have learned that as long as I do what I am supposed to do, I won't get in trouble.

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

　Still, it's scary.

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

"It's good that you're working on your training. But don't do it too fast. You have room to grow physically. If you push too hard now, your growth will be stunted and you won't have room to grow."

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 understand.

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

　But my feelings of admiration for Usato-san make me feel rushed.

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

　Rose sighs in exasperation, perhaps sensing the look on my face, and continues to speak.

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

"There's no need to hurry, you know. I know you're trying to catch up with him, but you don't have to do it the same way. He has his way and you have yours."

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

"My,way......"

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

　I muttered to myself, and I felt my perspective widen a little.

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

　I did not intend to imitate Usato, but I had only a vague idea of what I wanted to become or what I wanted to do in the future.

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

"Well, think it over."

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

　Mr. Rose said so and walked toward the dormitory.

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

　I bow my head to Rose-san, who has her back to me, and step into the training area.

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

　As I try to run in the training area, I see Mr. Nair and Mr. Ferrum who are muttering something to each other while collapsed there.

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

It's hard. I need to rest. I want to sleep. I want to pass out. But that is not allowed in this hell ......."

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

"What is avoidance?　I don't even know what that means anymore."

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

I understand.

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

　The two of them are muttering to themselves in some sort of epic soliloquy, and I can't help but nod my head.

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

　As I was getting blasted over and over again, the common sense that I had understood until then started to fall apart.

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

"It's all because of that brainy healing wizard... ......!　I wanted him to take me with him, but he left me behind. ......!"

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

"That monster, he's the only one who escaped from hell again. ......! Remember that. ......!"

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

　Wow, he's talking to himself, but he's muttering the same thing.

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

　The anger is directed at Mr. Usato, but most of it is just resentment.

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

　I looked at the two of them on the ground, letting out a resentful cry, and nodded to Bulrin, who was standing next to me, looking absentmindedly at me.

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

"I was just thinking, Mr. Ferrum and Ms. Nair are pretty good friends, aren't they?"

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

"Grua."

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

"We don't get along!"

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

　I couldn't help but laugh, seeing the two of them deny it so desperately.

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

　After that, Mr. Ferrum and Ms. Nair were chasing after me in anger, and Rose was giving me a lecture and a bone chop.
