　And then it was hard.

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

　Through the magic of the Witch King, all the demons in the city were informed that he had conceded defeat.

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

　Normally, this would have caused chaos, but the Demon Lord, who was a master of magic, used his amazing skills and speech to calm them down, and told them about the future policy of the Demon Lord's army --- or rather, of the Demon Lords' army.

　As he said this, we went up to the ground with the Demon King.

　Kazuki, who had regained consciousness, lent me his shoulder, and Nair was helping him to get rid of the spell while he was tied up by magic and unable to move, being carried on Bulrin's back like a piece of laundry.

　Leona, Ferrum, and Amako are all there.

　In addition, there are Amira and Koga who follow the Demon Lord.

　......A great situation, even if you don't think about it again. ......!

　The eyes of the demons gathered around.

　The demon king suddenly pushes me out of the way, slapping me on the back, while I'm looking at him with a gaze that can be described as both fear and anger.

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

　I almost knocked down Kazuki, and when I turned my head forward while glaring at the Demon Lord, I saw the gazes of the Demon Lord's soldiers.

"I have decided to entrust the future of the demon tribe to this human. ...... he is the healer who beat me down, he was just as strong as a demon, wasn't he?"

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

　Needless to say, this moment determined the perception of the demon tribe toward me.

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

　The demon tribe was in an uproar, me with my head in my hands and the Demon King laughing happily.

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

　At any rate, as I am about to head-butt Koga, who is laughing behind me, I notice two figures running at high speed on top of the building.

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

　The shadows land in front of us and one runs to me and the other to the Demon Lord.

"Is everyone all right?

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

Mr. Nagi!

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

　The one who came down in front of me was Mr. Nagi.

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

　Her clothes were stained in some places and she had some cuts on them, but she did not seem to have any serious wounds.

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

　She checked us out one by one, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"I heard the battle was over, but what in the world is this ...... and the Demon King is still alive ......."

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

　I looked at the Demon Lord and saw a man standing in front of him.

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

　Nero Agens.

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

　The demon swordsman, whom Mr. Nagi had stopped in his tracks, silently addresses the Demon King.

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

"......, Demon Lord."

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

"Yes, you've been beaten to a pulp. Yes, he beat you with his bare hands."

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

　Nero takes one look at us and smiles after a look of surprise.

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

"This ending is also fate, I suppose."

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

　He picks up the sheathed sword at his waist.

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

　We quickly brace ourselves, but he throws it to the ground.

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

　Without a glance at the sword on the ground, Nero kneels down to the Demon Lord.

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

I will obey your word. Always have and always will.

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

"You're just as law-abiding as you are, aren't you? ...... what's going to happen to you?"

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

We've both been hurt by healing wizards. It's too late for that.

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

Ha, indeed.

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

　Nero, the strongest swordsman of the demon tribe, has given up his weapon.

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

　The soldiers, understanding what this means, drop their weapons to the ground as if giving up.

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

"Did you end the battle with the Demon King alive?"

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

"Yes. ...... though it's going to be tough from here on out.

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

　Still skeptical, she looks at the Demon Lord.

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

"You're not lying to me, are you?

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

"I wouldn't do something like that at this late stage, would I?"

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 was defeated by the healing wizard there. Not by a brave man, but by a mere mortal. You know exactly what that means, don't you?

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

　Mr. Nagi turns to me.

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

　After a moment of silence, her shoulders shook and she jumped at me with tremendous force.

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

　I catch her by surprise with a momentum that could easily be called a tackle.

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

　Instantly, my torso tightens with overwhelming force.

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

"You guys are ......!　You have surpassed the assumptions of that clueless man from HISAGO!"

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

"Yes, yes, you're right. ......!"

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

"Yes, you're right!　You've managed to end the battle without killing the Demon King!

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

　He's as powerful as Rose ......!

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

　I know you're happy, but in your exhausted state, I'm afraid you're going to get your ass kicked.

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

　He's going to lift me up and spin me around and around.

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

　I was afraid to untie his arms because of his joy, so I let him do what he wanted, and then Amako talked to Mr. Nagi.

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

"Kannagi, you have to leave soon because Usato is going to faint.

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

"Oh, ......, I'm sorry!　...... ugh, who's a monstrous idiot?"

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

　As I was released and breathing, I heard Mr. Nagi mumbling to himself.

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

　Probably, the other Nagi-san is saying something, but it would be better not to mention it too much.

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

　He is sorry for what he said.

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

"d*mn, if only I could move my body... ......!　If only I could move my body, I could compete with Kannagi. ......!　If only the body worked!

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

"Nah, you can break the spell, but you'll have to cast a binding spell."

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

"Aren't you being too hard on Suzune?"

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

"Bodhi ......!"

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

　Nair and Ferrum are looking down at their senpai who are letting out vindictive cries on top of the bullring as if they are dumbfounded.

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

　It seems that the senpai will still take a long time to recover.

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

"Ha, ha, senpai looks fine."

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

"Sorry, Kazuki. Let me give you a hand.

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

"Thank you, Usato. ...... but the problem is what comes after."

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

"Yeah, I guess so."

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

　Once again, he talks to Leona while lending Kazuki his shoulder.

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

　Now that we have met up with Nagi, let's talk to Leona about what we should do.

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

"Leona-san, the battle itself is over, what should we do now?

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

"The battle may be over, but we are still in enemy territory. Even if the Demon King admits defeat, we should not stay here for long because of the danger of being attacked.

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

　Fortunately, all but the senior members of the group are simply exhausted.

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

　But the problem here is that we're all going home.

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

　The senior member, who had been making a lot of noise earlier, turns his face toward me and opens his mouth, as if he was thinking the same thing as I was.

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

"I won't say that I don't trust the Demon King after all this time. I'm not saying that I don't trust the Demon Lord. But we need someone to watch over this place.

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

Do you want me to stay?

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

Seriously, you're staying?

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

　Coga's happy voice made me not want to stay at all.

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

　I sigh, "If I stay, I'm sure I'll be attacked by this guy.

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

　I think I'm the right person for the job, since I fought the Demon Lord until the end, and since I can get well soon with healing magic.

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

"No, I'll stay.

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

"Mr. Nagi?"

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

I have precognition magic. I can respond immediately to any unforeseen circumstances. ...... and..."

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

　Mr. Nagi looks at the Demon King with a sideways glance.

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

　His gaze remains sharp.

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

"--I have some things I need to talk to the Demon Lord about."

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

"...... understand."

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

　You are right, Mr. Nagi is the right person for the job.

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

　And since he wants to talk to the Demon King about something, there's no reason to stop him.

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

　But..,

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

"I want Mr. Nagi to come to the Kingdom of Lingle in this time period so that he can return home as quickly as possible."

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

"Hmm, why?"

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

"Because I want you to come to Lingle Kingdom this time."

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

"...... hmm?　This time?"

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

　At last, the Kingdom of Lingle, where Hisago and Nagi never went.

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

　Though the times are different, the Lingle Kingdom we know is a peaceful place.

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

　Though Mr. Hisago is not here, I hope that Mr. Nagi will come to Lingle Kingdom at least.

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

　Nagi-san tilts his head at me, and I smile as we face the Demon King.

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

　We hit each other again and again, and both of us are battered and bruised, but we are still standing alive.

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

　That fact alone is the best outcome of this battle.

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

Mr. Nagi will stay here.

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

"Of course. If it weren't for the guards, we would have had to tell you.

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

　He chuckles at the Demon King's words.

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

　The Demon Lord has a sense of propriety, I suppose.

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

　If we leave here without leaving anyone behind, there is a possibility that the Kingdom of Lingle and other countries will be alerted.

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

"Perhaps we will meet again in the not-too-distant future."

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

Yes, of course.

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

"If you do what you tell me to do, you will be held accountable for your actions. Keep that in mind."

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

　When the demon king nodded, he flipped his palm and created a white whirlpool.

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

　At the end of the white whirlpool, I see a familiar forest and chopped-up trees.

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

　This is the place where we were first attacked by Nero---I recognize it and look at the Demon Lord.

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

"Through here you can get out of the city. Normally we could connect it to the outside of the demon king's territory, but we don't have the magical power to do so. You'll have to put up with this.

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

"No, I'm used to walking."

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

　I have been walking all the way to the letter and all the way to here.

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

　There were no shortcuts, and that is why we walked straight to our destination.

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

　It is no different on the way back.

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

"Finally, I give you this."

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

　Then the Demon Lord takes out a scroll from his palm.

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

　It was the scroll he had shown us before the battle, the scroll that contained the formula for returning to the original world that had been prepared for Mr. Hisago.

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

　The Demon Lord hands it to me.

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

"It's real, isn't it?"

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

"Did you think I would give you a fake?　If you give it to ...... Falga, he will be able to adjust it so that you can return to your original world and time."

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

"But this was prepared for the previous hero, ...... Hisago."

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

　The demon king nodded at the sound of Kazuki's voice.

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

"Indeed, it was prepared for him. This scroll also contains information about the world and time in which Hisago lived. However, if you were to rewrite it and inscribe new information about you, the scroll would work.

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

"Information?"

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

"Nothing tangible. If I had to guess, I'd say it smells. That will be your coordinates."

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

　...... Honestly, I don't know, but it seems true that this might help me get back to my world.

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

　I look at it in my hand and meditate.

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

　I see in my mind's eye the "regret" that I have left behind in the world I left behind.

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

　I think of all these things and look up.

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

"I don't need them."

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

"...... are you sure you're not wavering in your resolve?"

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

"I've already made up my mind. If it's going to be used, it won't be by me.

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

　Scrolls are tucked away in the trousers.

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

　Kazuki, propping it up on his shoulder, has a difficult expression on his face, but this is Kazuki's own decision to make.

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

　It is not my place to interfere.

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

　Besides, if Kazuki or his senpai were to ask me for such (...) advice, I'm sure I'd want him to stay.

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

　So, I have nothing to say to them.

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

Then go ahead.

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

"Yes, I'll see you again."

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

　After exchanging these words, I turned back to Nagi-san.

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

"Please take care of the rest."

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

I'm in charge. Good luck.

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

　With Kazuki as my support, I step into the white vortex.

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

　In an instant, we are away from the city where the demons are, and we look back at the city again.

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

"It's over, isn't it?"

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

　I nodded at Kazuki's mutterings.

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

　As soon as I realize this, my body relaxes and I sit down on the spot.

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

　It seems as if all of us are in the same boat, and exhaustion comes over us as if the taut threads have been severed.

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

"I'm so tired!"

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

"I don't want to use prediction magic for the time being, either."

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

"Ha-ha-ha, it seems that I was also worn out from the battle with Amira. I got hot myself. ......"

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

　We all gave it our all.

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

　We need to find someplace safe and rest.

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

"Suzune, I'm tired too ...... and sleepy."

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

"I haven't been released yet!　Oh, I'm already rowing!

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

"I've broken the spell of pain, you just have to hold on for a couple more hours. ......"

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

　Nair, transformed into an owl, swoops over and rests on my shoulder.

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

　I close my eyes and fall quietly asleep.

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

"Hey, hey, Usato-kun. How long am I going to stay like this?"

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

"......When you've come this far, Senpai, can't you break it with your arms?　Like this, like a bang!"

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

"I can't break it!"

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

　I can't break it!" "It looks like there's at least one more, but I can't do anything.

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

　Amako, unable to bear the sight of the teary-eyed senpai, talks to her.

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

"But isn't it good that you can hug Berlin all the time?"

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

"Yes, that's right!　I can touch her legally!

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

"Grua ......"

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

"Is that right, seniors?"

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

　The phrasing is too suspicious.

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

　With the result of the meeting being so unremarkable, we ask Bulrin to continue to carry our senpai.

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

　As he leaves, he looks at the city where the demons are.

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

　The city that has been transformed by the Demon Lord will be restored to its original state as soon as his magical power returns.

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

　From then on, they will live each day in a state of anxiety.

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

"We can't let that happen again, can we?"

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

　I don't want another war.

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

　Even after the war is over, there will still be scars on both races, but we must not start another war.

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

　......First, let's rest and get some rest before we return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

　Then we have a lot of work to do.

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

　Well, Rose will be angry with me for sure, but that's no matter. ......!
