　Inukami-senpai's electric shocks went straight for Koga and Amira, hitting them directly.

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

　The sound and light of the gushing blasts made it difficult to tell what was going on, but it was safe to assume that they were able to hold them back for the time being.

　After witnessing the direct hits to Koga and Amira, Senpai let out a yelp.　He turned back to me with an almost onomatopoeic energy, and came close to me excitedly.

"Usato-kun!　I'm very, very curious about your appearance, but!　I dare not ask you about it!

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

"What, yes, ......?"

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

I'll look forward to it later!"

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

　...... No, what?

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

　Without waiting for my puzzled reply, he nodded with a big smile on his face and turned his head toward the direction of Koga and Amira again.

"Well, I'm off!

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

"Ah, yes. "See you later!　Hey, senpai!

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

　Senpai, still as excited as ever, cut off the conversation and slashed at Amira with his sword, who had shaken off the electric shocks.

"You're a brave man!

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

Let me deal with you!

　Amira, who had caught the senior's sword, which was covered with lightning bolts, with flames, was pushed away from us.

"Oh, you're still like a storm, Suzune. ......"

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

　I nodded to Nair and Ferrum's mutterings, and Kazuki came up behind me a little later.

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

　He rushed toward me and looked surprised to see me.

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

"Thank goodness I made it to ...... in time. You look so different!　What's going on with that!

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

"Kazuki, you came here too?　Why did you come to ......?"

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

　Kazuki looked at me with a puzzled expression as I asked my question, and then he looked straight at me.

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

"I came here to help Usato. ......

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

　The unexpected words brought up an inexpressible feeling in me.

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

　I manage to suppress my emotions and shake my head.

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

"...... is fine, not at all. Thank you, you really helped me out."

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

"Usato helped me and my senpai too, so we're good together. And ......."

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

　Kazuki's gaze turns to Koga, who has been hit by an electric shock.

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

　He watches me and Kazuki's movements as he changes his form to respond to my movements, clad in an even darker magical robe.

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

"If the Commander-in-Chief is out, we heroes will have no choice but to go out. ......"

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

　Certainly, if we were going to face the leader of the military, Kazuki and his senpai, as well as Mr. Hyde and Mr. Sigurth, would have to go to the battle.

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

　As far as I've fought, a leader of the corps is not so easy to manage by sheer force.

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

　I was only able to corner them with the support of Nair and Ferrum.

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

"So, Usato, is that Koga over there?"

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

Yeah, he's a tough son of a b*tc*. I attacked him a lot earlier, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

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

　I wonder if he has suffered any psychological damage, if not physical.

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

"Maybe he's more stubborn than I am, that guy."

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

　I knew Nair and Ferrum would deny it.

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

　I know. I'm also aware that I've become much more defensive after being possessed by Ferrum.

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

　Kazuki let out a small sigh and smiled at me.

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

"I hear a lot of noise coming from Usato.

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

"In the short time I've been here, I've gotten a roommate of sorts."

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

"Ha ha, what's that?"

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

　You're not quite wrong. .......

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

　You can unlock the current state of me and Ferrum, can't you?　I've been trying not to think about it, but I'm starting to get worried.

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

　I make a light remark, and after I have tightened my grip, I stare at Koga in front of me, and take a stance.

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

　Koga unmasked himself and revealed his true face to me.

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

I don't care if it takes both of you, do you?　Win or lose, as long as we can fight, that's all that matters.

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

　Coga speaks of such things in a somewhat good mood.

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

　He does not care whether he wins or loses, but rather wants the fight itself.

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

"......Kazuki, we can beat Koga if we fight together. Let's fight together."

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

　Koga is a strong opponent, but if Kazuki and I work together, we should be able to defeat him.

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

　I suggested that we fight together, but the man next to me shook his head.

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

"No, leave this to me and my senpai, Usato, and go help the others.

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

"What?　But ......"

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

　Kazuki's words make me look at him.

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

　He smiles at me reassuringly and says the next words.

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

We'll be fine. Besides, I have an important favor to ask of you, Usato.

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

"A favor?"

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

　What was the favor?

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

　I tilted my head, and Kazuki opened his mouth, still facing forward.

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

"Have you heard about the demons who use magic to control people?"

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

"Yes, I was attacked by one of them."

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

　A sorcerer in the demon king's army who hypnotizes his allies and forces them to fall out with each other.

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

　We have to deal with him first, or the war will be even tougher. ...... Why is he bringing this up now?

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

"Frana found out where he is. "He's in the middle of the battlefield, where it's hard to tell friend from foe, and he's brainwashing the knights.

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

　She must have been able to find the demon tribe that was performing hypnosis because she has illusion magic, which has similar characteristics in terms of deception.

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

　As I recall, the place where I was attacked by the knight was near the center.

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

　If that's the case, she was hiding there and quietly recruiting new friends.

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

"I've left Frana to her own devices, but I have a bad feeling about ...... this. Usato, can you help me?"

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

"Okay. We'll go help.

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

　Kazuki rolls his eyes at my immediate answer.

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

　Either way, I have to get to the front line, and I can't just stand by and watch as the knights on my side are manipulated and split up.

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

"Thank you. I told ...... Frana the same thing, but be careful."

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

"Don't let that full-body tights guy get the better of you, Kazuki."

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

"Ah!"

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

　We nodded to each other and started to run.

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

　I hear a strong light and a metallic sound like popping steel right behind me, but I don't care, I go straight to the place I want to go.

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

　Rose has entrusted me with this task, and Kazuki has asked me to do the same.

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

　I have a lot of work to do, but if it's for someone else's benefit, I'll go forward as fast as I can.

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

I'll keep moving forward as fast as I can if it will help someone else.

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

　Usato, you are engaged with what appears to be the commander of the enemy's First Corps.

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

　When I heard the news during the battle, I literally felt my blood freeze.

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

　Kazuki was very upset as well.

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

　There were other reasons for being upset.

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

　At any rate, I had never imagined that the commander of the corps, who is the best force in the Demon King's army, was out there all by himself.

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

　Normally, it would have been insane to challenge an opponent who outnumbered us alone, but the one that Usato was dealing with was advancing to the halfway point of our formation, cutting down our knights.

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

　To tell the truth, I was horrified.

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

　The fact that he had disturbed our formation all by himself, and the fact that he was facing such a dangerous opponent.

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

"If it weren't for Usato-kun, our base would have fallen by now. ......!"

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

　He fires an electric shock at the flaming Amira with a partial electric shock on his leg.

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

　She swung her sword wide to counteract the blasts, caught my movement with her eyes, and opened her mouth to speak.

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

"Indeed, if you had not interfered, the master would have easily taken your stronghold.

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

"...... so I guess the First Corps Commander is your master!"

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

　The attackers give them electric shocks from mid-range, but they never seem to get through.

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

　Is it because of the flames on his body?

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

　It looks like me, but it seems to be more focused on defense.

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

　If I jumped into it without any plan, I would be mortally wounded.

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

"If I'm going to get close to it, I'll have to put on the right amount of magic too!　Then!"

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

　She activates her Thunder Beast mode for a moment and tries to attack with a speed that even Usato could not handle.

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

"The technique is ......!

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

"Hmph!"

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

　Ignoring his mutterings, he slashes at his neck as he passes by.

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

　She catches him in the neck, but it is blocked by Amira's sword, which is held up without warning.

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

"He reacted ......!

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

"You can't be too precise with your aim, can you?　The attack is too honest.

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

"Really?　I'm not often called honest!"

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

　Mostly in relation to you, Usato. ......!

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

　After a grand self-deprecation, he dodges and distances himself from the sword that Amira swings at him.

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

"You've highlighted your lack of experience against people. ......"

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

　He is good at fighting wild monsters and such, but when it comes to fighting against people, especially those who are above a certain level of ability, he lacks experience by far.

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

　And Amira in front of me has definitely had more experience than I have, and she has changed her fighting style to one where she is ready to attack me.

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

"I'm impressed.

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

　Amira's unexpected words of praise make me stop in my tracks.

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

　The flames that clung to her like armor have lost their intensity, and she speaks to me in a clear voice.

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

"The technique you are using, is it your own style?"

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

"......Yes, I learned it from a certain demon's way of fighting.

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

If so, it's a big deal."

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

　The fighting method I developed in my battles with the demons and thunderbolts I encountered on my journey to deliver the letter.

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

　It is not that I am not pleased to be praised for it, but there is no way I could be pleased under the current circumstances.

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

"It is amazing that a person who is self-taught and not as physically strong as the demons can do it. If possible, I would like to get rid of it in its unfinished state."

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

"...... Is it safe to assume that means it will be tricky for you once my Thunder Beast mode is complete?"

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

"......Raiju......?　Mordo?"

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

"I'm talking about the magic that wears lightning. ......!"

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

　I correct him with a blush when he tilts his head at me.

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

　Generation gap......!　I've experienced it many times during my travels, but this is the one thing I can't get used to. ......!

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

"I don't understand the language of the brave. But yes,...... you are right, once that technology is perfected it will be a threat to us."

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

　With these words, the flames that Amira wore flared up.

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

　So much for idle chatter.

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

　...... So far, Amira's attacks have not hit me, but there is no sign that my attacks will reach Amira either.

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

　But I know it's only a matter of time, and so does she.

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

"Then, it won't be a problem if I grow up in this battle. ......!"

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

　There is a magician in front of me, a magician who is on the verge of reaching his goal.

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

　With the best example of what I have to do, I know what I have to do.

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

　I will steal and absorb Amira's skills in battle.

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

"If I am a hero, then there is no reason why I should not be one!"

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

　I'm going!

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

　I am clad in electric shocks as if to rouse myself, and I am heading toward the formidable foe before me.

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

I'm going toward the strong enemy in front of me.

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

　Koga, Amira, and I were interrupted, but thanks to Inukami-senpai and Kazuki, I was finally able to return to my role as a white uniform.

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

　As I was on my way to the destination Kazuki had asked me to go to, Nair, who was standing on my shoulder, spoke to me.

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

"Usato, what do you want to do first?"

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

"First, let's go to the center while healing the wounded. Nair, can you find out who is controlling the allies?

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

We won't know until we get there.

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

　I guess the first priority is to get to the scene of the crime.

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

　Besides, as long as they're targeting healers like they did when I was attacked, it's not a problem we can just leave them alone.

"Yes, let's help together."

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

　Nodding strongly at the sound of Ferrum's voice, which had finally come back to normal, I run across the battlefield once again.

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

　The people who were blown away by the tornado, injured or knocked out are being helped by the black clothes and the knights in the rear, so don't worry and let's go ahead.

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

　I step into the front line, keeping my eyes wide open.

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

　While I was fighting, the battle was getting more and more fierce, and the white combat between the soldiers was turning into a wild one with no formations or anything.

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

　I looked around, and when I found a wounded knight, I extended the belt from his left wrist, entangled it, and at the same time pulled him close to me.

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

Please!"

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

　The knight is secured by a black belt extending from his uniform as he is moved to his back, as if to hold him down while applying a healing spell.

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

　When I confirm that the knight is firmly fixed on my back, I let out an exhale of admiration.

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

　Great, both arms are free.

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

　This will allow me to take more people with me. ......!

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

"Usato, over there!　Our men are surrounded!"

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

　Nair looks in the direction indicated by his wings and sees three sky-blue knights surrounded by a group.

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

　That's the knight in sky-blue armor from Samaritan that we've seen several times during the meeting: ......!

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

　One of them is wounded and two of them seem to be fighting to protect him, but they can't last long when they are isolated from their allies!

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

"We're going to jump over that encirclement!"

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

"What?　What are you doing, jumping over?

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

　After running at full speed, he leaps using the outburst of magic power.

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

　He leaps over the heads of the demon soldiers surrounding the sky-blue knights and lands on the ground. At the same time, he slams his right fist into the ground with great force, releasing a shockwave of radiant magic power.

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

"Healing topple fist!"

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

"Whoa!"?

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

　The soldier loses his balance due to the sudden impact on his leg and almost falls forward.

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

　Then, Ferrum transforms my left arm into a shield-like shape, and I strike the off-balanced soldier with the shield, making a hole in the encirclement.

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

"Captain!　Usato-sama with a knight on his back is falling right in front of us!

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

"Well, it seems that sometimes it's good to struggle. Gosh!

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

"Captain?

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

　Why is it that the most seriously injured person seems to be fine?

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

　...... No, a few of his men are injured too. We have to get them out of here now.

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

　With the injured captain in my arms, I glare at my surroundings and call out to Ferrum.

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

"Ferrum!　Fix these two guys to me too!

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

"No problem!"

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

　A black belt extending from the group uniform wraps around the sky-blue knight, who is unable to keep up with the situation, and secures him in place, as does the knight on his back.

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

　But will the knights be all right?

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

　I check them before I start running.

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

"It's so stable!

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

The captain is speechless at the unprecedented situation!

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

　...... looks like it's going to be okay!　Yeah!

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

　With the captain firmly in my arms, I kick the ground as hard as I can and push forward to the hole in the siege that I just knocked down.

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

"We're breaking through!"

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

"What the ......?

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

A mass of human beings is attacking us!

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

We're going to get run over!

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

　For some reason, the soldiers of the Demon Lord's army are running away from the attackers.
