　Two brave men, Senpai and Kazuki, were to go to the base they had set up earlier in the plain area.

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

　We, the rescue team, departed later than they did. I saw them off as they departed with the knights, and I was performing my duties as deputy commander while making preparations to ensure that nothing was amiss.

"What's wrong, Usato?　Is that all you've got?

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

Of course not!

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

Then show me how you fight back!

　With a yell from Rose, a gouging kick was fired at my side of the head.

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

　As soon as I received the kick with my basket hand, I jumped to the side to escape the impact, and after a couple of spins on the ground, I stood up, but I immediately did a backflip and managed to avoid a crushing heel drop from directly above.

"You seem to have mastered the art of escape."

"We're not done yet, ......!"

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

　Rose smiles at me, sweating profusely and out of breath.

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

　The day before we leave for the base, I have a practical training with Rose - an act that would normally make me question my mentality, but it's now or never, because if I go over there, I won't be able to train anymore.

"Let's at least give him a good beating!

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

"Fine!　I'll give it a shot if I can!

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

　To tell the truth, I have been fighting under extreme conditions for the past hour, so I am a bit out of sorts.

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

　I let my impulses get the better of me, and I move toward Rose, who has her fists clenched.

"Why am I here? ......"

　--with Nea, who is supporting me on my shoulder.

Nair is supporting me on my shoulder.

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

"--this is as far as we go."

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

"Yes, I think so. Thank you very much. ......

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

　Rose looks down at me as I lie sprawled out in the middle of the training ground.

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

　Neah is also lying on the ground in an owl-like state, completely relaxed like a stuffed animal.

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

"I'm definitely, definitely going to get some blood from you ......, otherwise it's not worth it ......!"

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

"I know. I'll keep my promise.

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

"Absolutely!"

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

　You really need to be that careful.

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

　Well, since I asked you to join us, I won't refuse.

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

　The reason why I'm having a mock battle with Rose the day before we head for the base we set up on the plain is because I wanted to get used to the moves of Rose, who has more physical abilities than I do, at the last minute.

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

　Also, as a vice commander, it is my duty to consider the possibility of substituting for the commander in case of emergency.

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

　I don't know how well I would be able to replace Rose, but since no one else could do it but me, I figured I had to do it.

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

"I've cast a healing spell on you, but make sure you rest well."

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

"Yes, sir."

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

　I nodded at Rose's words, who did not look tired at all.

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

"Just in time, I ask you now, are you taking Bullyn to the battlefield this time?"

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

"...... Uh, that's--"

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

　Some time ago, I asked him if he would go to fight against the Demon Lord's army.

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

　I rather declared that he would stay behind, but he angrily tapped my foot several times, showing his intention to go to war.

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

　I nodded at Rose's words, remembering that ...... perhaps I had been too overprotective of Bulrin.

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

"Yes. I'll take her with me."

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

"I see. Then I've had Bulrin prepare a special suit of armor for the lifeguard. You should wear it."

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

"What?　When did you make that ......?"

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

While you were at the meeting with Lucvis. I had it made just in case you needed it.

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

　Armor specially designed for Brullin.

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

　......<?　No, <> would be better?

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

　I'll think of a name for it later, but I'll thank Rose.

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

"Thank you!"

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

"No need to thank me. I did it on my own. And one more thing.

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

　Rose pulled a sentence out of the pocket of her troupe uniform.

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

　She tossed it to me, and I saw that it had been sent by Mialak.

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

"Mialark ...... Commander, this is ......."

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

It was given to you personally. The kingdom has an official one. It says ...... well, the brave men's weapons are not going to be ready in time for the war."

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

　Or not in time.

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

　No, it's a good thing they didn't say "no, you won't make it here in time".

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

　Unlike my time, Falga-sama is trying to make a brave man's weapon from scratch, so he must be overworking himself.

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

　Considering this, I can hardly blame her.

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

"It's all right to be so gloomy. We leave tomorrow. As soon as you are ready, rest your body for tomorrow."

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

　Rose gets up, replies, and goes back to her quarters.

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

　Rose took time out of her busy schedule to help me prepare for tomorrow. I stand up, feeling sorry and grateful.

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

"Well, I have a lot to do for tomorrow."

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

　I have to continue with the preparations for a situation where the healing wizard is no longer useful due to the use up of his magic power, such as bandages and medicinal herbs for first aid.

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

　Rather than my personal belongings, those are more important.

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

"Wow. ...... I forgot about the preparations. ......"

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

"You can rest a little longer. I'll take care of the preparations."

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

"Aaaaah!"

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

　He places Nair, who is lying on the ground like a stuffed animal, on his shoulder and activates his healing magic.

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

　I look at the letter I received from Rose, smiling at Nair's moaning.

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

"Well, before that, let's read this one.

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

　When he sent the letter, he had also sent a question about the basket hand in addition to the valiant man's weapon.

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

　He carefully unwrapped the letter and opened it to find a beautiful, flowing text.

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

The letter was written in a beautiful, flowing script.

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

　This is a separate letter from the one sent to the Kingdom of Lingle, and is addressed to Usato Ken personally.

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

　I am Leona, brave of Mialak.

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

　I understand that this is not the time for a lengthy preamble, so I will keep it brief and to the point.

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

　First of all, the creation of the weapons of the two heroes by the Lord Falga may not be completed in time for the attack of the Demon Lord's army on the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

　As soon as they are completed, they will be sent by the fastest ship in Mearaq, but there is no guarantee that they will be ready in time.

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

　And about your question about the cage hand.

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

　First of all, is it possible to transfer or lend your basket hand to a third party?　According to Mr. Farga, it is not possible.

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

　It is truly your exclusive equipment, and no one else can have its true performance.

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

　The exception to this is my own , which is so because Falga-sama made it so that its shape can be changed by the bearer, but your basket hand cannot.

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

Your baskets cannot do that.

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

"-I thought it was a long shot, but I guess not."

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

　Can't you lend my cage hand to someone else?

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

　It may not have unparalleled power, but it is a basket hand of extraordinary hardness on its own. I thought that if I could give it to Senpai and Kazuki, it might be able to help them, but I guess I have to give up .......

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

"But this Kagome, only you can use it, can't you?　It's just hard and I think it can only be used as an armor.

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

"It's enough just to be armor. Besides, it helps me manipulate magic."

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

　If you are a senior, you will be able to use the Thunder Beast mode, and if you are Kazuki, you will be able to further enhance your superior magical manipulation.

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

"Ah, yes. What about putting a cuirass on his leg?　That way, your technique will be even more amazing, won't it?"

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

"No, this is only a cuirass, you will be in trouble if you deploy it on your legs, right?

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

　Specifically, the legs would be forcibly transformed into the shape of a basket hand. .......

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

　...... sounds painful just to imagine it.

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

　In the first place, the ankle bracelet itself does not fit on the ankle.

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

"Well, if we can do something similar to the basket hand from the foot, I think we can do a lot of things with it.

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

　Nair muttered in a bored tone.

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

　It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the price is too high.

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

　...... but I would have liked to try a healing kick by jumping with a healing magic bursting leg, not a healing magic bursting palm.

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

　 like this.

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

　While I was thinking such a stupid thing, a black-haired lifeguard, Nack, comes from the entrance of the training ground.

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

"Hmm?　Nack, what's wrong?"

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

"Mr. Usato, Tong-san asked me to come and help you as soon as possible.

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

"Uh, okay."

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

　I don't want them to be the only ones getting ready, so I'll get going too.

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

　I'm almost recovered from the mock battle with Rose.

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

　I get up and head for the dormitory with Nack.

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

"Usato-san, you are leaving tomorrow, aren't you?

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

"Yes, that's right. Is Nack going to the castle?

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

Yes. I'll be the only one here, so Mr. Rose arranged it for me.

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

　If we leave here, Nack will be all alone.

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

　We can't let a twelve year old boy live alone, and Rose's decision is justified.

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

"To tell you the truth, I'd like to ...... follow you and the others."

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

"Knack ......"

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

"I know. I'm still a kid and I'm not as strong as you guys. I know that better than anyone.

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

　Nack's mutterings seemed to be somewhat stifled by his emotions as he held a healing spell in his palm.

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

　Even as a healing wizard, I cannot take Nack, who is still inexperienced in terms of age, into battle. No matter how much manpower I have, I cannot compromise on that.

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

"But I thought it would be different if I just felt sorry for him.

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

　Nack looks up at me.

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

"The other day, I asked Mr. Rose if I could ask you to help me at the castle.

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

"Help?"

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

Yes. There are a lot of people out of the castle right now and we are short on staff, so I was wondering if you could help me.

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

　Now that people are gathering at the base, it is safe to say that the castle is quite shorthanded.

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

　They have some knights left in case of an unexpected attack, but they are still very few.

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

"Then, I'll leave the castle's defense to you.

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

"Eh, that's such a big deal. ....... Besides, I can't do much ...... yet."

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

"Nack, you're the one who thought this up and took action. I think that's great."

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

　Maybe if I were in your shoes, I couldn't have done the same thing.

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

　I might have stopped thinking and just did muscle training, or I might have bemoaned myself for being so helpless.

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

"Mr. Usato!"

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 was surprised to hear Nack's voice with a determined expression on his face.

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

　He looked up at me and opened his mouth in confusion.

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

"When you get back, please teach me how to do the healing punch and the healing magic bullet!

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

"Well, if that's what you want to know, now is the time..."

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

"You idiot!"

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

　I tried to teach her the usual way, but Nair tapped me on the cheek with her wing.

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

　I looked at her quizzically and she looked at me in disbelief.

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

　......That's how it is, I thought.

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

　I kneeled down to make eye contact with Nack and put my hands on his shoulders.

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

"Nack, you shouldn't learn the art of hurting people. Even if in the end they are unharmed.

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

"Mr. Usato, ......"

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

"You still have a choice. You don't have to become a violent healing magician like me."

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

　I don't know, denying oneself head-on is pretty resonant.

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

　But I'm doing this to keep Nack from going down the wrong path. For that, I don't care what kind of scars it may cause to my heart. ......!

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

"But I ......"

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

"Do you remember the training we did in Luxvis?"

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

"How could I forget? That ...... training was ......"

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

　...... such and such?

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

　I don't know, it's a strange misstatement.

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

　Let's not worry too much about it, yeah.

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

"Just like that. If you can't find it on your own, I'll do something about it with you."

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

"Yes!" "That's a good answer."

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

　He nodded strongly and put his hand on Nack's head.

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

　He has a long way to go.

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

　As his mentor at one time, I must see it through.

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

　I stand up slowly and thank Nair at my shoulder.

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

"Thank you. Nair, I think that's what you meant.

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

"No, no, but... No, no, but ...... it was a good ...... result, wasn't it?"

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

　Nair is whispering in a whisper, tilting his head and starting to walk again with Nack.

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

　We leave tomorrow.

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

　They will be temporarily away from the lifeguard base and Nack will be the only one left in the kingdom, but he will be fine.

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

　After all, he is a friend that Rose ...... and the rest of us in the Rescue Mission recognize.
