　The mistakes I have made up to this point in my life have been quite simple.

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

　The first is that I was summoned to this world by my senpai and Kazuki, the heroes.

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

　The second is that Rose found me and recruited me into the rescue squad.

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

　Third, I wanted to help my senpai and Kazuki, who were fighting as heroes.

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

　I am sure that if I think about the training Rose gave me and the powerful enemies I have faced in this world, I would say that they were mishaps and wrong choices.

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

　Without them, I would have been able to live in a peaceful world for a long time, and I would not have suffered.

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

　But I can assure you that I would do the same thing no matter how many times it would be repeated.

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

　Because no matter how hard the path I have taken, the things I have met, learned, and gained here, I could never have gained in my former world.

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

　So, I will continue to move forward.

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

　Today...even on this day of the battle, when I don't know how things will turn out, I will run as fast as I can.

"Tongs, you!　I told you not to use the disinfectant so carelessly!　We've only got a limited amount of disinfectant!

I'm sorry!　I'll leave the rest to you!　Deputy Commander!

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

And that goblin!　Put on a normal face when you speak!　Don't scare the wounded!

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

I've always had this face!　You're a bastard!

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

　I yell at the tough guys who give me a hateful smile and walk out of the tent.

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

　I've been thinking about the past for a while, but I need to stop yelling and start doing something.

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

　I don't want Gerna and the others to see me as a disappointment.

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

　While I was treating the two knights lying next to each other with my hands on them, Ferrum and Bulrin jumped into the tent.

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

　On Bulrin's back were four wounded knights secured with belts, while Ferm had one knight on his back and two on each arm.

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

　Ferrum approached us, a little out of breath, and lowered the three knights who had been secured with dark magic.

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

"I've got them! ......!"

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

"Are you okay?　Are you hurt?

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

"I'm fine. ......"

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

　He and Nair lower the four knights who are secured by the belt on Brullin's back, and he is concerned about Ferrum, who looks tired.

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

　Bulrin seems to be totally fine and sniffs confidently with a "humph".

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

"Is it still hard to deal with people who used to be your friends?"

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

"...... It's not that. It's just annoying. ...... I'll get the next one."

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

　Ferme says bluntly and runs outside.

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

　He gives a concerned look to Bulrin and then turns his attention to treating the wounded.

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

　No matter how many times he heals the wounded, their number shows no sign of decreasing.

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

　It is no wonder that every time a healed knight returns to the front, another injured person is brought in to replace him or her... but once again, we are reminded of the intensity of this battle.

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

"Let me help you. Usato-kun."

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

"Mr. Uluru, ...... would be very helpful."

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

"It's times like this when we have to help each other."

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

　With a grim expression on her face, Uluru-san comes up next to me while I am using healing magic.

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

　She opens her mouth as she heals the wounded person that Ferrum and Bulrin brought earlier.

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

"I heard from the knight who just treated you that the battle is currently competitive," she says.

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

"So ...... is it?"

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

"But you know, they haven't shown up at the corps commander's level yet. There were several big snake monsters, but it seems that the demons haven't sent out their main force yet.

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's tough that there's more than one of those snakes, and I'm worried that we haven't seen a corps leader like Koga yet.

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

　Maybe there is no Amira, a demon tribe with the power of a corps leader, and I can't predict how the war will turn out.

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

"And ...... I heard one thing that's been bothering me."

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

"What's bothering you?"

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

"One of your knights was wounded in an attack by one of our own. ......"

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

"Attacked by an ally?　Not like you got hit by the wrong blade or something?"

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

"No, the knight who told me about it said that his best friend since childhood attacked him as if he had changed."

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

"...... change?"

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

　Manipulated?

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

　It could be that he got confused on the battlefield, but the worst possibility is that there are demons or monsters who have magic to manipulate people.

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

　If so, he/she is making us fight with each other.

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

　As I was putting strength into my hands that naturally emit healing magic, I heard a loud, piercing yell coming from outside the tent --- from the battlefield.

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

　As if in response, countless demons' screams are heard late in the day.

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

　Hearing the voice, I quickly turned my attention to Rose, who had already finished healing the knight and was looking up at the sound of the voice.

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

　With that one word, I knew immediately what Rose was going to say.

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

　I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do as a white uniformer---run the battlefield and save my allies.

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

　I nodded to her and stood up, and Uluru-san looked up at me with anxious eyes.

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

"Don't die, Usato-kun ......."

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

I'll be back later."

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

　After looking around at Olga, Sharun, Gerna and Kate, I start to follow Rose to the entrance of the tent.　

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

　As I do so, Nair, who has transformed into an owl, jumps onto my shoulder from behind.

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

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I brought you all the way out here."

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

"It's not too late for that. Besides, I am your messenger, so it would be unnatural for me not to follow you.

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

　When I learned of Nair's true identity, I never thought we would have such a trusting relationship.

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

　I had a bad impression of her because of her betrayal, her playing with my pure heart with charms and other things, and then her reviving the evil dragon.

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

　But now, after my journey, I can trust him with my back ...... or rather with my shoulder.

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

I am glad you are here. Thank you."

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

　Nair is in a good mood as he hears these words of heartfelt thanks.

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

　As I leave the tent, straightening up the collar of my uniform, my eyes meet those of Mr. Alc, who is escorting me.

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

　--He was a very strong, yet dependable man.

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

　He was a very strong, yet dependable person. Thanks to his kindness and counsel as a familiar adult, I was able to overcome my anxiety-filled journey.

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

　So, I can leave this place in peace and move on.

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

　After exchanging silent glances and nodding, he and Rose head towards the entrance of the wall that leads to the battlefield.

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

"This is the second time, isn't it?"

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

　Rose's unexpected words made me tilt my head.

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

"I mean, going to the battlefield with you."

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

"So ....... As for me, I'd rather there had never been a battle.

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

"Ha, no doubt. But now that it's started, we have to do what we have to do.

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

Of course, I understand that.

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

　Even if we do not want to fight, the Demon King's army will attack us without question.

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

　There is no way we can just stand by and watch.

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

"Commander. I'll tell you now.

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

If you see Nero Agens, don't even think about stabbing him in the back, okay?

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

What about ......?

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

　Rose's stunned expression may be the first time I've ever seen it.

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

　But I'm being extremely serious, so I don't make fun of her.

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

"No, I know that the leader of the group, who has talked so much about self-sacrifice to me, would never do such a thing, but I thought I'd just say something. I mean, I don't think in the slightest that the Commander will die.

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

"I wish I didn't have to say it rather than make excuses so quickly. ......"

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

　I just wanted to say this: ......!　

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

　I had a feeling that if I didn't say it out loud, Rose would actually take action.

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

　It's not fair that she doesn't protect herself after she's been so hard on me.　

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

　Rose smiles at me, and I'm ready to get decapitated at any moment.

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

　But, predictably, I'm not shocked.

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

　Instead, Rose, who was brushing her hair back, was smiling brightly.

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

"You idiot! Why should I give my life for a demon tribe you don't like?

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

"So, right!"

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

There's no need to risk your life. Just blow them up first.

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

　It's an incredibly messed up thing to say, but when Rose says it, it's very convincing.

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

　I guess my concerns were misplaced in the first place.

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

　I am more relieved than ever by her reaction, and I turn around to face forward again.

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

"We're going our separate ways from here on out."

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

　It was a completely different battlefield from before, but I was still calm.

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

　Partly because it was my second battle, but most of all because I had my mentor, Rose, next to me.

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

"Don't you die, okay?　If you die..."

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

"I'm gonna knock you out, aren't I?"

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

You're a real cocky son of a b*tc*. You're so cocky.

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

　After saying this, she puts her hand on the door of the wall.

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

　I breathe in time with them, and my legs are ready to move at any moment.

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

Are you ready?

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

"Ready when you are."

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

"I'm ready, too."

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

　After confirming my words with Nair, Rose opened the door with great force.

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

　The moment I felt something like the wind on my skin, my feet propelled me forward and my body shot out like a bullet.

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

"Let's go!　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 see the horrific scene of the battlefield in my mind's eye.

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

　Rose is already out of sight, already heading in a different direction from me. I looked once next to where Rose was, and then turned around to face forward again.

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

　Behind me, a squad of archers and wizards kept checking the flying dragons attacking from the sky. The flying dragon I saw in person was about two times larger than a horse, and it had no front legs.

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

　It seemed to be not so different from the flying dragon that we often hear about in fantasy stories, since it breathed fire like flames from the sky.

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

　Checking the sky, we soon reach the front line.

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

　The front line is a jumble of both friend and foe, and some apparently ferocious-looking demons are attacking the soldiers.

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

　Not far away, you see a red wolf about to attack a warrior of the Kingdom of Nirvarna, who is stuck with an injured leg.

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

　He seems to be somehow blocking the bite of the red wolf with the hilt of his spear in his hand, but a soldier of the demon king's army raises his weapon and approaches to put an end to him and his companions.

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

　I grasp the situation at a glance and create a magic bullet in my palm.

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

"Glow Wolf!　Bringing such a dangerous demon here ......!"

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

"Nair, I leave the use of magic to your discretion!"

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 change my running direction and accelerate at once, and with my momentum, I kick the red wolf that was attacking the warrior - Glow Wolf - in the side with a binding spell and blow it away.

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

　It was a big wolf, nearly two meters in height when seen up close, but perhaps it couldn't withstand the unexpected blow, and it fainted.

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

　After confirming this, I fire a healing magic bullet at the injured Nirvarna warrior's leg, healing it to the point where he can move.

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

"Hey, you are ......"

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

Can you move?

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

"!?　I'm healed ......!　How long have you been ......"

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

　A Nirvarna warrior and his companions are surprised that the pain in his leg has subsided.

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

　One of the demon soldiers saw this and pointed at me, extremely upset.

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

It's the healing wizard in white!　You two, get rid of them before they heal you!

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

　At the feet of the demon soldiers, there were still alive Nirvarna warriors lying on the ground.

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

　Are they trying to kill those who are still breathing in order to countermeasure against us lifeguards ......!

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

Not so fast!

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

"Well, let's use our magic!　Get rid of them as fast as you can!"

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

　I deployed my right hand and slammed my fist into the jaw of the closest demon soldier, while using the basket hand to knock down the magic coming at me to protect the warriors behind me.

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

　He then grabs the other two in the face with his hands, which are imbued with a binding spell, and restrains them from moving.

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

　One of the demon soldiers let out a stunned voice.

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

　Without looking at the three soldiers who have fallen to their knees, he slams his palm into the gut of the soldier next to him.

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

"Holy shit!"

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

"Hiccup!"

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

　I shifted my target to a soldier near the wounded warriors and held my spear as if frightened - but the response was too slow for me.

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

　I close the distance in a single breath, grab the tip and handle of the spear with both hands, and throw it sideways with all my might.

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

　With a cry of grief at my back, I set about treating the wounded warrior.

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

"Okay, let's get him out of here... mmm?"

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

　As I try to hold them up, I notice an arrow flying toward my forehead.

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

　I quickly grab it and let out a sigh of relief.

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

"Oh no, an arrow!"

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

"I don't think dangerous is usually enough. ......"

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

　I stared in the direction from which the arrow flew, and saw the demon who had first shouted to attack me drop the bow and arrow from his hand with a look of disbelief on his face.

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

"You're not human ......?

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

"No, don't come here!　Oh, my God!

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

　Why does he react like he does when he encounters a monster in a horror movie?

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

　For a moment, he wonders this question, and then he uses his sword to knock the demon out of his consciousness.

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

　After that, he quickly heals the fallen warriors and goes to another place, asking the black-clad man to take care of them.

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

　--The amount of magic used is minimal.

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

　--His physical strength is perfectly fine.

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

　--I still have enough energy.

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

　Then, as long as I live...

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

Look out!　Healing magic bullet!

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

Ow!

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

Ow!

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

　The knight of Calm Helio, whose arm has been slashed and is about to be speared by a soldier of the Demon Lord's army, is hit by a healing magic bullet.

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

　The impact of the healing magic bullet bounces him to the side, and Nair is startled to see that the spear that was about to pierce his torso has been dislodged.

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

"Was that a technique to be used like that!"

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

　It saves and heals the wounded at the same time.

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

　That is the true use of the healing magic bullet ......!　In fact, you could say that the way it has been used up until now has been wrong. ......!

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

　He strikes a stunned soldier with a spear with the bottom of his palm, and reaches out a hand to a fallen knight and stands him up, drawing the hostility of the soldiers in the Demon Lord's army toward him.

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

　Good job, ......!　I clenched my fist hard and stepped hard on the ground to save the life in front of me.
