　I carried the wounded demon man, Gref, to a nearby house, and after checking to see if anyone was inside, I decided to put him on a bed close at hand.

"Has it been quite a while since the house was empty ......?"

　After lightly brushing the dust off the bed, I put Gref down.

　He was a man of about 40 years old, brown with rather large horns, looking a little weak for a demon tribe.

　As I wondered why he was surrounded by demons with his children, two children --- a boy of about eight years old called Rose and Ram --- ran up to him.

"We've taken care of it, don't worry about it."

"But there was ...... a lot of blood, and ...... recovery magic isn't enough ......."

　Keira, who was watching Mr. Gref from a step away from Rose and Ram, muttered anxiously.

　This girl seems to understand how deep his wounds were.

　Perhaps noticing my hesitation, Nair speaks to Keira in a calm tone of voice.

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

"That's exactly what you need to worry about. He is very good at recovery magic. So he will be fine now.

"Oh, you're lying, you're depressed as usual?"

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

　He smiles at Keira, who looks worried and depressed as usual.

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

"I'm not mad at you, it's okay. Besides, I don't mind you calling me 'uncle' at all.

　Glancing at Mr. Greff, Keira looked hesitant and then opened her mouth.

"We were all heading to the center of the Demon Lord's territory ......, and on the way there, we were attacked by a demon and got separated from the rest of the group. ......"

"Everyone?　Were they all traveling in groups?"

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

"Yes. There were about 20 of us, and we were told ...... that the demons were active and it was dangerous, so we had to move where we lived. ......

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

　You were moving toward the center of the demon king's territory to escape from the demons.

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

　Gref was attacked by demons and got separated from Keira and the others, so he came here to find a safe place to stay... but at that moment he was attacked by a pack of hangwolves.

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

"Do you have a plan to meet up with them?"

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

"Gref said there's another abandoned settlement beyond the ruins that we're supposed to meet up with them."

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

　Ruins ......?　

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

　No, but you already have a way to meet up with us in case of emergency.

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

　So, should we stay out of it?　......No, but we should ask Mr. Gref directly, too, just in case.

"What is that brother of yours ...... Usato, why are you here?　Are you going to the center like us?"

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

"Hmm?　Well, it's the same thing. We were just passing by when we heard your screams and rushed over.

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

　We can't tell them our real goal of defeating the Demon King.

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

　However, if we try to deceive them, they will be suspicious of us, so let's just say that we are here for the same purpose as the girls.

　...... Kazuki and the others should have arrived by now.

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

"Neah, watch these girls and Mr. Greff. I'm going to go brief the others."

　He asks Nair to take his place and leaves the room.

"Uh, sir!　Are you a dark magician like me?

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

　With my back to Keira, I involuntarily stop in my tracks.

　What was in his voice was the anxiety that he had called himself a dark wizard, and the joy of meeting another dark wizard just like him.

　Ferrum's voice brings me back to myself, and I smile as hard as I can, my cheeks twitching, and turn to Keira.
