　After my senpai and Kazuki returned to the castle, it was just me, Nack, Nair, Ferrum, and Amako, all members of the lifeguard squad, in the dormitory of the lifeguard squad.

　As the sun was setting and it was getting dark outside, I sat down on a chair in the dining room after dinner and practiced making the elastic magic that Kazuki had shown me.

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

　The practice was not so grandiose, but rather a rather simple one of manipulating the density of the magic power floating in my palm.

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

　With the help of Nair, I was practicing such things, but..,

"No. You can't do it."

It's been less than five minutes since we started.

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

　A few moments after we started, I got a big kick in the pants.

　The magic surrounding my right hand just wavered and showed no sign of changing.

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

It's more like, "I can't do it, even if it's not you. I saw it for a moment, but Kazuki's magic manipulation is not something that can be mastered with practice.

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

"...... magic manipulation, huh?"

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

"To begin with, when you can manipulate the hardness of light, which is a formless magic, you must be using different senses to handle magic than we do."

　Kazuki once said that he handled magic power with natural movements as if he handled his hand.

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

　In other words, Kazuki's perception of magic power is no different from that of his own hands.

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

　It is easy to describe in words, but it is not that difficult to do.

"But you know what? You can't do it by yourself, but with that cage hand, you'll never know, will you?"

　Nair points to the bracelet on my right arm.

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

　It was given to me by Lady Farga, and was once the sword of a brave warrior.

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

"I'm sure that the hand is not only ridiculously hard, but also has the ability to support magic power. It's not impossible to make the magic power elastic by using that ability.

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

"So I can use this cage hand when I practice?"

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

"That's right. Well, I don't think it's that easy.

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

　Does this mean that even if I master this technique, I can only handle elastic magic with my right arm?

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

"...... No, wait."

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

"?　What's wrong?"

　How about using a magic bullet created by a basket hand and moving it through the body?

　When I visited Lucvis for the first time, I had a mock battle with Mr. Halfa.

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

　At that time, I tried to transfer the magic power from my arms to my legs in order to confirm his "anticipation of movement by fluctuation of magic power".

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

　At that time, I was not particularly conscious of it, but ...... I might be able to make use of that technique.

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

"Well, if that's the case, I'll practice this too.

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

"Yeah, what are you going to do again?　Just talking about making magic elastic is unrealistic. ......"

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

"No, this is something not so difficult.

　He opens his palm in front of Nair and lights his index finger with magic.

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

　When Nair tilts her head curiously, he shows her how he transfers the magic power from his index finger to his middle finger via his palm.

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

"Wow, you are very skillful.

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

"Try to do this as fast and as quickly as possible. The better you get at this, the more refined the flow of magic power will be, and the more efficient the healing magic will be. ...... maybe."

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

　Nair looks at the magic moving from finger to finger with a curious look on her face as she says this confidently.

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

"I also cast magic in the same way when I'm on your shoulder as an owl, don't you know?"

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

"Oh, really?"

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

　I thought to myself, since Nair was sending magic through my body to my arms and legs and so on, it was only natural that the principle should be the same.

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

"On the contrary, I am surprised that you have mastered such basics."

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

"...... is it basic, this?"

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

You didn't know?

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

"I learned how to handle magic on the run. ......

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

"Yes, that's right. ......"

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

　No, now that I think about it, that's quite a way to learn.

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

　In the end, it was the healing magic that got me through that dreadful training.

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

"Most wizards don't think much about training because it's enough to just pour magic into the hand that emits it from the center of themselves, but for ...... you, it might be an effective training."

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

"You can do things like move magic from your arms to your legs, but in the end, it's better to have it finish moving the moment you think about it in your head. ......"

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

"As for this one, it won't take long. From what I've seen, the transfer of magic from finger to finger is very smooth."

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

　Nair tells me this as I move the magic from my index finger to my thumb and from my thumb to my little finger.

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

"In the meantime, I'm going to practice ...... this 'magic rotation' at the same time."

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

"Don't put too much root into it, okay?　It's like I'm watching you to make sure you don't."

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

You're an out-of-touch kid. I am.

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

It's worse than that. Oh, I really can't take my eyes off you!"

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

　Nair sighs and rests her elbows on the table as my cheeks twitch.

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

　She rests her cheekbones on the table and looks me straight in the eye.

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

"I am your messenger, you know. I'll be with you after the battle is over, just as I always have been.

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

"...... ha, what if I have to go back to my world?"

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

　The moment I said those words to myself, I immediately regretted it.

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

　I haven't found a way to return to my original world, but if I do, it will be to say goodbye to the people of this world.

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

　Seeing that I was upset after I said it out loud, she was not surprised, on the contrary, she smiled and pointed her index finger at me.

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

"Of course I'm going to follow you. As long as there is an unknown that I am searching for, I will follow you everywhere.

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

　I immediately understood that his confident words were not a lie.

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

　That's why I was so taken aback, but I couldn't help but smile subconsciously.

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

"...... you really seem to be following me."

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

"I told you. I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life."

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

　Indeed, that's what you said when you forced me to sign a contract as a messenger demon.

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

　It feels like a long time has passed since the incident with the evil dragon, though it wasn't that long.

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

　While I was having such an exchange with Nair, remembering what happened a while ago, Amako came out from the kitchen.

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

"You're in a lot of trouble, Usato. He's possessed by Nair.

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

"Did you hear that?"

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

"Yeah, a little bit."

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

"Wait a minute, what do you mean, 'Oh my God'?"

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

　Amako put her apron on the table and sat down across the table from Nair.

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

"Usato. Where are Nack and Ferrum?"

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

"Nack went back to his room first. Ferrum is at ......."

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

"You're keeping a daily diary, aren't you? She's pretty diligent.

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

　I didn't know he still kept a diary. .......

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

　I am glad to see that you are still keeping a diary, even though I recommended it to you.

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

　Well, I guess they write some complaints about me, but it must be a good thing.

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

"Well then, Amaco. Can you tell me your ...... story?"

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

　What Amaco wants to tell me.

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

　I guessed it was not something urgent, but from the look of anguish on her face, it seemed complicated.

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

"I saw a premonition."

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

"...... while I was sleeping?"

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

"Yeah."

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

　Then this expression makes sense.

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

　But it seems that it is not the only thing that is bothering her now.

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

"It was no different from my usual predictions until about halfway through, but ...... it was a little different."

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

"Different ......?"

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

　Amako began to tell us about the prediction she had seen as we tilted our heads.

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

　Me and my seniors on a journey.

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

　The past of the Demon Lords and the heroes... and a swing of the sword of the previous hero.

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

　And the mysterious woman who spoke to Amako directly from the scenery she was seeing with her precognition magic.

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

　......As far as the first part of the prediction is concerned, you could have guessed what was going to happen.

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

"Well, she was a fox beastman just like Amako, and she had a sword, right? You've never met him, have you?"

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

"He never said his name and disappeared without so much as a word."

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

　Beastmen, swords, precognitive magic.

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

　And she looks like Amako's mother, Kanoko.

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

　That's about all we know.

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

Did you tell the people at the castle about the premonition?

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

"What about the beast woman in the prophetic dream?"

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

　Amako shakes her head at Nea's words.

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

　Well, even if it was part of the precognitive magic, the bestial woman is very uncertain information.

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

　If it's not so good, there is a possibility that the prediction Amako saw is false.

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

"That's why I wanted to talk to you, Usato. That woman was saying some incomprehensible things about seeing me through him, and I was wondering if it might be Usato. ......"

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

"Me?　Why me?"

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

　From what I've heard, it doesn't sound like I had anything to do with it.

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

　This "he" that I'm talking about, he said he was seeing me through something, and I'm pretty sure I had nothing to do with it.

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

　When I tilted my head, Amako lowered her gaze at an awkward angle.

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

"Because it's Usato. ......"

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

"Uh, ......."

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

"Guys. First of all, let's get this out of the way, shall we?"

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

　For some reason, even Nair agrees with me, so I deny it.

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

"I'm from another world, you know?　The only connections I have are the ones I've had since I came to this world, you know?"

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

　I can't believe she's lying.

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

　I have been involved in incidents related to the previous generation of heroes everywhere I go, but this is something I have no recollection of.

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

In the first place, it is impossible to see anything through me. It's more believable that someone like Mr. Farga, who can use magic, saw it.

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

"...... Well, I'm just saying."

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

　You say that, but that doesn't change the suspicious look you give me?

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

　How much trouble do they think we're in?

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

　I suppose it's understandable, considering what we've been through.

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

"Anyway, from what I've read in the predictions, I'm sure we'll be hearing from you soon. Amaco was also among the traveling prophets, wasn't he?"

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

"Yes. But I didn't recognize any of the other members except for Suzune and Kazuki."

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

　...... this is not too much to think about.

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

　Maybe the prediction will come true soon and we can just go on as usual until that day.

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

　Let's put the prediction to rest and talk about tomorrow.

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

"I'm thinking of going to see Leona at the castle tomorrow.

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

"I really want to, but I have to help out at the store tomorrow. ....... Tell Leona I say hi when you see her.

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

"Yeah, okay."

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

　Nair is obviously going to be there, so there's no need to ask.

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

"...... Leona, how did she look?　You met her on the battlefield, right?"

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

"She was very reliable. If she hadn't come, I would have been stuck. I'm really glad you came."

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

"You were so generous to give me such a rare thing as a potion to restore my magic power."

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

"I knew it. Is that expensive?"

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

"Yes. Many times more expensive than you think.

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

　I would like to know the value of those potions, even though they were dodged during the battle.

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

"In the first place, a potion that works just by drinking it is basically expensive.　Especially potions that restore magic power, which can only be restored naturally, are manufactured in a special way, and it is said that it is difficult to make a large number of them.

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

"Is that so ......?"

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

　I can't believe I drank something so rare, even in the middle of a battle.

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

　I can't thank you enough for that, it was the only thing that kept me moving after that.

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

Anyway, I'll be sure to thank you tomorrow.

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

"Then you should get some rest early today to prepare for tomorrow. You woke up today, you're not in good shape, are you?"

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

　That's right.

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

　But before you rest..,

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

"Amako, are you going to stay at the lodge?　If you're going home, I'll walk you home, okay?"

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

"No. No. I'm staying here today.

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

　Today, too, which means I'll be here for the next three days until I wake up.

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

　I must have really worried you.

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

　Again, I think to myself as I continue to talk to him.

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

Do you have a place for me to sleep?

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

I have prepared a futon in my room and Ferrum's room, so you don't need to worry. Amako is small, so it won't take up much space.

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

"Mnh!"

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

　Nair smiles at Amako, who glares at her with a disgusted expression.

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

　If I don't have to take Amako home, I think I'll take an early rest.

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

　Nair is right, I just woke up today and I don't feel so good, so I'll try to get some sleep and get myself back on track.
