　After finishing our meal, I, my senpai, Kazuki, Nair and Ferrum moved outside to the training area.

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

　The reason why we were at the training ground was to show us the two brave men's weapons while Amako and Nack were cleaning up the dishes and we talked about the future.

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

"So Bulrin hasn't come back either. ......"

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

　Nair, who was standing nearby, spoke to me as I looked at the empty stables and mumbled something like that.

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

"I heard that Bulrin is still over there because he is so powerful.

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

"I wonder if we'll cause any trouble for the people over there. ......"

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

"Don't worry about it."

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

　...... Well, okay.

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

　I arrived at the training grounds after visiting the stables, and the first thing I heard from Kazuki and my senpai was why I had been sent back to the kingdom first.

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

The reason why we were sent back here has not been revealed yet.

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

"The king has only told me to rest in case things get worse."

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

"When I say it hasn't been revealed, I mean it hasn't been revealed: ......"

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

　Kazuki, tilting his head at his senpai's words.

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

　Be prepared for anything. I wonder if Lloyd-sama brought us back here in anticipation of what's going to happen next?

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

"Maybe he didn't want us to get anxious since the battle was just over."

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

　I understand that, but why did Nair and Ferrum come back?

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

　I ask Nair and Ferm, who came to the training ground together, and Nair answers me.

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

"Rose said she wanted to be my chaperone.

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

"...... that's it?"

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

"She's got to have an idea, doesn't she?"

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

"Well, she's not the kind of person who makes decisions without thinking. ......

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

　Sometimes they think about it and try to be unreasonable, though.

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

"Now we have to wait until we hear from the kingdom. ......"

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

"Yes, I guess so. The castle is also busy dealing with the aftermath of the war, so it's not like we can have an audience with them right away."

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

　It's after the war, so they're probably busy contacting the various kingdoms, operating supplies, etc. .......

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

　The knights are out of the country too, so it seems that they are genuinely understaffed.

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

　Oh, and speaking of knights: .......

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

"I heard that Leona-san is here. ......"

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

　Leona, the brave woman from Mearaq who came to our rescue during the battle.

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

　If she is here, I should immediately go to thank her.

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

Yes, she is at the castle now. I was talking to the people at the castle when I came here, but I think you can meet her there.

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

"Then I'll have to say hello when I get to the castle."

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

　I'll bring Neah and Amako with me then.

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

　I'd really like to have Aruk with us, but we don't know if he's coming back this way. .......

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

"But, Usato. The connections you have made in this world are tremendous.

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

No, I don't think so...

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

　I was about to say, "No," when a face came into my mind.

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

　I had met so many powerful people like Mr. Halfa, Eva, Mr. Lucas, etc. that the word "strong" is not enough, and I nodded to my senpai, breaking out in a cold sweat.

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

"......Well, well, I am aware of it."

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

"It's true, it seems like this guy's friendships and normal ones are few and far between."

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

"You could say that."

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

　Let's not forget that you guys are in the unusual category too, okay?

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

　He stares at Ferrum and Nair, who are nodding, sighs, and speaks to his seniors.

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

The most important one, though, is senpai.

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

"Hmm?　What do you mean by that?"

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

　He tilts his head with a smile on his face, and I smile back at him.

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

"You are the most interesting character in the group. You are the best by far.

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

"That's not something you say with a smile, is it?

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

"You're right, he's got a point."

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

"Even Kazuki-kun?"

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

　Kazuki's cheeks relax as he smiles funny.

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

　Eva, by the way, has the same rate as her senpai.

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

　The first time I met her, the impact was so strong that I still remember it.

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

　The others I met after that, Norn-sama, Leona and Kanoko, were also quite impressive.

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

"Now that we've gotten off on a tangent, I think it's time for me and Kazuki to show you the armor of a brave warrior.

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

　Kazuki nodded at his senior's words.

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

　Reacting to the "armor of the brave," Nair transforms into an owl and jumps on my shoulder.

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

　Apparently, they want to get a closer look.

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

The armor of the brave...

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

"I knew you'd be interested in it, Nair."

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

Of course. Unlike you, I have a unique ability.

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

My basket hand has abilities, too.

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

"It's not as if it's a given. It's just a hard basket hand that doesn't let magic pass through."

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

　It's true, but .......

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

　A basket hand that is just hard enough to be impervious to magic, sorcery, and everything else.

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

　It's ability is not so impressive, but I like it, so it's not a problem.

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

"It's also a great tool for no-risk outbursts of magic, you know?"

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

"...... I think that you are simply crazy. How did you end up fighting like you are now? ......

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

　Nair gives a small sigh and her cheeks twitch.

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

　While we were having this exchange, Kazuki steps out from the center of the training area.

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

　It appears that he will be the first to show off his weapons.

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

"I guess I'll go first. Usato, I'm going to show you a little magic here, if you don't mind.

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

"Yes, I don't mind."

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

"Okay. ......"

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

　Nodding, he raised his left hand in front of him, and cajoled it as if he were trying to think of something.

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

　The wristband on his wrist was enveloped in light, and in the next instant it was transformed into a silvery baskets.

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

　The scaly ripples on the wristband emitted a pulsating glow and seemed to be a little sharper and more aggressive in shape than my own baskets.

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

"My armor is a baskets hand that facilitates the manipulation of magic. It allows me to use light magic as danger-free magic and to strengthen my lineage.

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

　With these words, Kazuki creates a magic bullet and touches it with his right hand, which does not have a cage attached to it.

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

　He grips it like a softball and crushes it, perhaps he can adjust its hardness and elasticity as well?

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

　As I was looking at his magic and thinking so, Kazuki lightly shot a magic bullet in his right hand toward me.

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

"Here!"

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

"Oh!

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

　Quickly, he deploys the basket hand on his right arm and catches it.

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

　What came back was a resilient ball. Fearfully, I touched it with my left hand, but the light magic did not disappear and I was able to touch it normally.

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

"Is this really magic?

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

"I want to touch it too!"

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

　Nair on his shoulder was also interested, and he reached down to his palm and began to poke it with his wings.

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

　I noticed that Ferrum was also looking at my hand with blinking eyes.

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

"Wow! It's not like it's magic if you're just touching it. ....... It's just a simplified form of light magic that makes anything it touches disappear, isn't it?"

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

　As I let out an unintentional sigh of admiration, the magic bullet on my palm returned to Kazuki.

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

　Kazuki catches the magic bullet with a snap, and makes it float on the palm of Kagome's hand.

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

"I used to have to worry about many things when using this magic, but with this cage hand, I don't have to worry about them anymore.

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

"Wow, it's like a rubber ball. ......"

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

"Haha, I realized later that I can make magic bullets have hardness and elasticity like now, so I guess I can apply this to something as well."

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

　So saying, Kazuki slams the magic bullet on the ground and bounces it.

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

　I had never thought of adding elasticity to the magic bullet itself.

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

"Kazuki, is it the ability of your cage to add elasticity to magic bullets?"

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

"No, this is a kind of benefit from assisting the manipulation of magic. It's more like weaving magic into a sphere.

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

"Weaving magic, ......"

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

　Weaving is only a metaphor; in reality, it is a technique that is achieved by such meticulous manipulation of magic.

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

　......Couldn't I do it too?

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

　He takes a small deep breath as he puts his hand to his chin and stares at the magic bullet, catching it with a snap as it bounces off the ground.

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

"And ......!"

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

　Kazuki starts to pour magic power into the magic bullet floating in his palm.

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

　The magic bullets that were poured and converged became brighter and brighter..,

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

"---I guess this is it."

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

　Kazuki muttered to himself, and as he squeezed the magic bullet in his palm, the magic power dissipated into the air.

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

　Remnants of magic power overflow from the pattern of Kagome's hand, as if smoke were releasing heat.

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

"This is how I can strengthen my lineage now. It is still difficult to adjust the output, and the function of the baskets is restricted for a while after use.

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

"No, it still looked pretty bad, but ......"

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

"Yeah, it's very dangerous, to be honest. At least, not in the presence of allies.

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

　Kazuki says so with a wry smile, but even from my point of view, his lineage enhancement is outstandingly powerful.

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

　If possible, I can only hope that there will be no one to whom he can use his lineage enhancement.

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

"Well, I guess that concludes my introduction."

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

"Yeah. Okay, I guess it's my turn now."

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

　The senior stepped forward as if to replace Kazuki.

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

　On her left wrist was a yellow and black ribbon-like thing, and when it glowed, as it did on Kazuki's wrist, it revealed a sword in its sheath.

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

　Senpai, clutching the scabbard with her left hand, turns a smile to me that I can't hide my happiness.

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

"Mine is a sword!　It's a Japanese sword!

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

"I know you're happy, so please calm down a little."

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

　How happy are you? I understand how you feel.

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

　But ...... I like my current kagote, but a sword would be nice too.

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

　I never intended to pick up a weapon that could hurt people, so I ended up with a baskets hand, but if I wasn't a healing wizard in a lifeguard squad, I might have ended up with a sword like you did.

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

"Nea. If my weapon had been a sword instead of a baskets..."

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

"It heals the person it cuts. Or maybe a sword that only causes pain."

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

I haven't told you everything yet.

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

　What kind of sword does nothing but cause pain to the opponent?

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

　Is that it?　A sword version of the healing punch?

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

　Either way, I don't know how to handle a sword, so I'll probably use it as a blunt instrument while it's still in its scabbard.

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

The name of the sword is "Inumaru".

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

　I turn back to myself and stare at the sword as my senpai boasts about it.

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

　The black scabbard and the tsubaki are engraved with a pattern reminiscent of lightning.

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

　This is the first time I have seen a real sword, but it has a more massive atmosphere than I had expected.

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

　Moreover, the name "Inumaru" is from .......　

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

I see, so you put "Inu" for Inukami-senpai's "dog"?　You are going for simplicity, aren't you?"

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

"You know what I mean?　Do you get it?

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

"Yes, of course. Yes, of course.

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

　I agree with my senpai, who nods in agreement.

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

　If I give it an elaborate name, I might forget it later.

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

"How do you know ......?"

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

"I know it's lame. Other than that, I don't know."

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

　Nair and Ferrum, who are puzzled by the exchange between me and my senpai, are muttering something, but for now, let's concentrate on the conversation with my senpai.

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

　He seemed to be teaching us about the abilities of the Inumaru, the armor of the heroes, and a short distance away from us he put his hand on the hilt and pulled the blade from its sheath.

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

　The blade is exposed, which has a pale yellow glow and a wet sheen to it.

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

　An electric charge gushes from the blade to the hilt, and flows into the body of the student, electrifying it as it flows.

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

"My sword's main abilities are to assist in the output of magic power, to strengthen the sharpness of the blade, and to deliver an additional attack with electric shocks. By the way, now is the state that corresponds to what we used to call "thunder beast mode". If I had to name it that, I would call it ...... Raijyu Mode 2, right?"

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

　When you say "Thunder Beast Mode 2", you mean that not only the operation has been improved, but also it has been genuinely enhanced.

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

"It used to be very bouncy, but now ...... it's a lot calmer."

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

"That's right. The previous Thunder Beast mode was extremely short-lived because of the unnecessary discharge of electric blasts. This sword solved that problem."

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

　With a light wave of his sword, the older man instantly vanished before our eyes.

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

　I managed to follow him with my eyes, but his speed was faster than before, making it harder to catch him.

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

　The senior's figure, which moves with a slow and steady pace as if stepping on a step, gives the illusion that he is an alter ego.

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

"Wow ......"

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

"Wow. I can't believe it's gone this far. Humans can move this fast."

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

"Yes, it is. You can't compare to me."

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

"...... you're human, but you're not in the human frame of mind, are you ......?"

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

　I look away from Nair with a subtle expression on my face, and feeling a bit uncomfortable, I turn my attention back to my senpai, who glides down to his original position.

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

　He sheathed his sword and scattered the blasts, then slowly put it back into its scabbard while taking a zanshin.

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

　With a slightly smug look on his face, he calls out to her as she sheathes the sword.

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

"Senpai!"

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

"...... Huff, what is it?　I'm the type of person who thrives on praise, by the way."

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

"What?　Well, that was cool."

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

　Why are you embarrassed when you were the one who urged me to praise ......?

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

　I'm embarrassed too. .......

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

　He clears his throat and talks to her.

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

"By the way, you have practiced, haven't 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

　Wow, he has a great smile on his face.

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

　Senpai puts his sword back on the ribbon in a good mood and comes back to us.

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

Now, next is Usato-kun.

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

"What?　Me?"

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

"Mm-hmm."

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

"But you both know the characteristics of my cage hand, don't you?"

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

"Oh, no. What I want to know is--"

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

　Senpai, his eyes blazing, paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

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

"I'm talking about the black-and-white Usato-kun I saw on the battlefield!

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

"Black and white?　Oh, you mean that one!

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

　Come to think of it, I'll look forward to it later!" I'll look forward to it later!

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

　I had completely forgotten about it, but I never thought I would have to explain it here and now.
