　After fighting with Usato in another world, we returned to our original white space.

　I was standing in the same place as before when I caught sight of a blonde-haired beastman --- Kannagi --- who was sitting down with his eyes clenched shut.

You can't change us. No matter what nightmare or ordeal you put us through, we will not be deceived again.

　He says this to Kannagi, who is holding his eyes.

　We don't know if he's an enemy of ours or not.

　Kannagi, who had been silently holding his left eye, looked up at me as I stood alert, ready to fire my weapon at any moment.

"I was right to send you guys."

"...... what?"

　Blood was flowing from the gap between the hand holding the left eye.

　Could this be the price for strengthening the system?

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

"Oh, don't worry about this. It's just that I lost the use of my left eye from overworking it. I guess the magic power of these ruins wasn't enough after all.

　Kannagi, who spoke as if he were talking about something else, snapped his fingers with his left eye closed.

"...... what did they send us to that world for?"

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

"?　Same as the first time. I wanted you to leave your naivety behind. But it doesn't matter now that we've accomplished more than that."

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

　Kannagi's cheeks relaxed with happiness.

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

"Ah, I knew he was still the same fundamental person in the other world. If you continue on into the future, you will be given one of the two heroic weapons you were supposed to get, and above all, you may even find me there.

"What are you talking about, ......?"

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

"Possibilities. Thanks to you, a man who should have been dying is now free to fulfill his destiny."

　I can hardly understand what is spewed out of Kannagi's mouth, but does it mean that Usato in the other world would have lost his life if he had stayed in that world?

"The Fountain of Kureha. It was a mistake to leave it there, wasn't it?"

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

Is it in this world, too?

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

Of course. A poison that makes people go crazy runs through the underground of Mearaq. That's what the Fountain of Kureha is.

　Mialak.

　That's the city where Leona is.

　If we don't know about it at this point, does that mean it's not used like that one ......?

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

Why do they still keep it?　It's just a thing that drives people crazy. Well, I don't even want to know what it's thinking, so it doesn't matter.

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

　Kannagi is mumbling something.

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

　Whatever he's saying, he's a mysterious being.

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

　Is he on our side in the first place?

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

"Well, we're done with you now!　Now we'll just have to wait until the right time.

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

Waiting?　What are you waiting for?

　At that moment, the senior who had been questioning Kannagi with a wan smile on his face disappears.

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

　The next person to appear was more than ten meters away from Kannagi, behind him, swinging his sword with an electric shock.

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

"Is the main body different? ......"

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

"They've definitely come for the head. It seems that the brave man over there has become more bold, but in a good way."

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

"...... thanks to you."

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

　The senior sheathed his sword and glared at Kannagi reproachfully.

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

　Kannagi, on the other hand, distorts his figure as if there is a noise running through it.

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

"Well then, this is the best part, bye.

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

Wait!

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

　Kannagi calls out to him, but he ignores her and disappears in an instant.

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

　With the place where Kannagi disappeared as the center, the surrounding landscape erodes back to the original ruins. However, the place where you are now is clearly a different room from the one where you were first sucked into the vortex.

"Senpai, what are you going to do now?"

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

"First, let's meet up with the others. ......Kannagi may be more troublesome than we expected.

　An unidentified opponent who is neither friend nor foe.

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

　We still can't even trust them, but our first priority is to join up with our friends.

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

I'm not sure if I trust them or not, but I'll join my friends first.

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

　This evil dragon is as close to the evil dragon I know as possible, but it is far from the real thing.

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

　That is my impression after fighting with it for a while.

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

　Even though he has gained a lot of experience and is definitely stronger than when I fought him before, there is no way he can match the full power of a non-zombie Evil Dragon in his prime.

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

"I'm sure he is."

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

　By any estimation, the opposing Evil Dragon is inferior to the Evil Dragons of the past in my memory.

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

　No, is it harder than the zombies?

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

"Hey Usato. It's a little late for that. What the hell was that?"

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

"It's really too late for that. ......"

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

　Koga, who had been forced to fight alongside me, is standing next to me asking me such a question.

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

　......The evil dragon is asking us how we are going to fight, so I'll explain briefly while I'm at it.

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

"That is an evil dragon. It is a dragon that raged on this continent long ago. I believe my friends and I defeated a zombie who had risen from the dead some time ago. ...... Somehow, he is now in his prime in the past Samaritan."

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

"I see, so that means he's a strong guy."

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

Did you hear my explanation?

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

　That's a very short summary, but is that the way you see it?

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

　I think there was more to the story that surprised me.

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

"Did you fight such a scary monster, Usato?"

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

　Keira, in the back, protected by Ciel, is more understanding.

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

　I turn back to her to reassure her.

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

"We beat them together with our friends. Don't worry, we won't lose this time either.

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

Yes, yes!

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

　For now, I'm fighting the battle, so I don't have any problems. ...... I was a little concerned about Ciel's suspicious look, or rather, the way he was pulling me away, but for now, let's focus on what's in front of us.

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

"Let's go, Koga!"

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

"Heh. Be careful not to get caught in my attack."

"......"

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

"Oh, sorry, I'm kidding. So don't try to hold my leg."

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

　He sighs at Koga, who is still in a jokey posture at this stage, and confronts the evil dragon.

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

　Black shiny scales and big wings.

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

　The current threats are poison and attacks with claws and tails.

"Now we don't have Nair, Ferrum, or Amako ......, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything."

　There is only so much I can do on my own.

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

"Koga, I'll draw him away."

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

I'll just attack as I see fit. We'll deal with each other on the spot.

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

　Even if we had a good plan, each of us would be moving around on our own, and we would be getting in the way of each other.

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

　I understood that after our brief fight earlier.

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

　I take a deep breath slowly, and after checking Keira and Ciel once more, I approach the evil dragon.

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

"I told you I'm not a brave man. ....... But, well, let me pay you back for all the trouble you've caused me in the past. ......!"

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

　A silver cage hand on his right arm.

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

　He holds it in front of his face, which boasts unparalleled hardness, and clenches his fist tightly.

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

　Covering the hand with the elasticity-imparting magic power I had generated by concentrating my consciousness, I faced the clawed and tail-snapping Evil Dragon head-on.

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

Come on!

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

　With a roar, a claw much larger than my height is swung.

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

　I see off the claw as if it is about to smash me, and I click my cage hand against the tip of the claw to change its trajectory.

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

I have seen that attack before.

　The evil dragon unleashes the claws of both arms like a child throwing a tantrum.

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

　Is it still the same low tolerance for agitation ......?　I think the vocabulary of words is too monotonous for a person who has a low tolerance for agitation.

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

　Well, the more crude the attack is, the easier it is for me to do it too. ......!

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

"Hmph!　Hmm!　Sweet!"

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

　I spot it with my eyes, step and pop it with my basket hand.

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

　If you take it head-on, you will be crushed by its mass, but if you play it right, you can pass it off with minimal force.

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

　And then...,

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

"That attack!"

　A "sweet" attack, launched amidst the chaos.

　He dodges it with a step, and then, to the side of his hand, which is knocked to the ground, he strikes a spinning kick with elasticity-imparting magic power by spinning magic power.

　The evil dragon is knocked out of its position by the shot from my arm, but it tries to open its big mouth to bite me, taking advantage of its falling forward behavior.

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

"Magic spinning!"

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

　He instantly returns magic power to his right fist and releases a healing elastic fist.

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

　However, despite the suspicion of weakening, the opponent is an evil dragon with a huge physique. Healing Elastic Fist alone will not be enough to overcome him.

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

　Then, he must repeat the technique once more until ......!

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

"Healing Fist!"　

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

　On top of the vertical fist that was slammed into the Evil Dragon, he unleashes more magic power.

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 fangs snapped, and the evil dragon stared at me with hatred... I was lightly shuddering at the technique, which showed more power than I had expected.

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

　It was a combination of elasticity and outburst of magic power.

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

　I tried it as soon as I saw it, but it's a dangerous technique.

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

"Blasting ...... elasticity---is a dan ...... yeah, it's a healing bullet-busting fist."

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

　Healing Elastic Fist drives a wedge as a starting point, and Healing Rengou Fist passes the impact to the back of the body.

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

　This is a less continuous fire than the Healing Rengage Fist, but it has more power to blow away the enemy.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry!　I'm so sorry!　I'm so sorry!

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

　What is he doing while we are desperately fighting the evil dragon?

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

　Shouldn't we force him to fight or treat him as a weapon?

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

"Anyway, I know the secret of your incomprehensible technique."

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

It's elasticity. The magic itself has elasticity to repel attacks, right?"

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

　Was he observing my elasticity?

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

　Koga, who had stepped forward while I was astonished, smiled angrily at the evil dragon who had gotten up.

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

"I see. Elasticity is an interesting thing. I was blindsided by the outburst of the system reinforcement.

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

　As he spoke these words, Koga's robe of dark magic changed.

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

　The robe that covers his body grows larger, changing from a slender appearance to a muscular one.

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

"Yeah!"

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

　"Bachyynnn!　The blow is delivered with a resounding "ba-ching" sound, sending the dragon's huge body sprawling.

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

　---The dark magic gives it elasticity.

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

　I stare at Koga when I see this.

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

　Koga gives me a friendly smile.

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

"What's your technique? It's like you're getting closer to us dark wizards.

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 dark system is a form of magic.

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

　If you can manipulate its strength at will, you can do the same trick without having it elasticize like I can.

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

　When he fought with Kazuki, he used my outburst of strengthening his lineage, so why does he keep using my tricks?

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

......It took me a lot of effort to learn this technique.

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

"Ha ha, I'm sorry about that."

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

"That sucks. The only way to get rid of the memory is to hit him from behind when the opportunity arises. ......

"You're not really a healer by any stretch of the imagination!"

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

　We're in real trouble now.

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

　This guy is more troublesome than the evil dragon in front of us, isn't he?

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

He's angry, isn't he?

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

"......, you better fight him this time."

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

I know, I know.

　The two of them run forward at the same time, with poisonous smoke spewing out of the corners of their mouths and the evil dragon screaming in anger.

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

　Koga leaps first, drawing the Evil Dragon's attention, and then I flank him and kick him in the side of the head.

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

"Did you forget I'm here?　Sad, man!"

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

　As he turns his attention back to me, Koga slams his whip-like left arm into the side of the evil dragon.

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

　As soon as its upper body tilts up, Koga runs up its back at once.

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

　When he reached the head, he grabbed what looked like the horns of the head, and slammed his fist into the brain in rapid succession.

"Ha, you're not at your feet as usual!　Was I too small for you to see me?

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

"Oops."

　As I am about to fall to the ground, the tail of the evil dragon is coming at me.

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

"Ha ha!　I'll get you in return!

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

"Huh?"

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

　Koga, who had forced me to avoid his tail, swung me around with all his strength and tried to slam my body into the Evil Dragon's brain again.

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

　I guess he was trying to get back at me for what I did to him earlier, but... that's sweet!
