　I am about to go through a terrifying training with him called "Onigokko," in which a person becomes a demon, but in doing so, he has set a handicap.

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

　He has a handicap that he cannot use his right arm and left leg.

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

　At first, Nair suggested that he should not use both arms and legs, but to be honest, the fact that he could not use his right arm and left leg put Usato at a great disadvantage.

"Let's go over the rules, shall we?　You win if you can touch me with your hands, and I win if I can escape from you for five ...... or even ten minutes. You have to touch me with your hands, so even if you are touched by Ferrum's magic, it doesn't mean you win, okay?"

　Usato is about 10 meters away from me, bouncing on one foot, thump, thump, thump.

　Amako-san looks like she's appalled.

　Nair and Ferrum look at each other silently.

　Is it my imagination that their eyes are somewhat swollen?

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

　I have a feeling that they are going to break up,......, I thought, but Amako-san comes in between them before I could.

　His hand trembled as he whispered these words.

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

　I guess I should say that it was a mutter that made sense to me that he was one of Usato's friends, but to me it was nothing but fear.

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

"Well, let's get started."

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

　While I am doing so, Mr. Usato starts training.

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

　Immediately, he takes a half step forward and moves into a ready-to-jump posture.

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

　Usato can only use one leg!

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

　Then he can't make any big movements, so there is a good chance that we can catch him if we corner him as hard as we can!　

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

"Let's go..."

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

Hey!　Eat me...!

Watch out!

　I tried to leap forward, but the black magic just barely passed by me.

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

　I was in a cold sweat as Mr. Ferrum attacked me without any hesitation, but I jumped out a little later.

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

"A preemptive attack with dark magic!　But it's too sweet!

　As soon as Usato-san's right leg gets stronger, his body flies to the side at an extraordinary speed.

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

　I am astonished by the unbelievable acceleration, but I kick the ground and run after Usato in the direction he flew.

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

"I'll get him!"

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

"Okay, come on!"

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

　I reach out my hand to Usato-san, who is waiting for me.

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

　The condition for victory is to touch him with your hand!　If I touch him even with my fingertips, I win!

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

　But he easily avoids my outstretched hand by falling backward himself, and uses the recoil of falling to the ground to get up.

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

Not yet!

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

"Come on, attack me more greedily!"

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

　As he steps forward, his outstretched arm is grabbed by his left arm and he is thrown down.

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

　I take a passive stance as I am only lightly thrown, and greedily challenge him as Usato-san says, without any restraint at all.

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

"Nack, keep them on him!"

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

　As I charge, Mr. Ferrum extends his tentacles of dark magic.

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

　In response, Usato-san leaps backward on one foot and flicks off the tentacles of dark magic with his left arm flexing like a whip.

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

　But he slows down!

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

"There!

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

　He slides on the ground and kicks at Usato's feet.

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

　The kick is avoided, but Usato's body is thrown off its position, and he falls forward.

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

"Mr. Ferrum, Ms. Nair!　Now!

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

"Well done!　Nack!

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

I wonder what kind of orders I can give him!

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

　Dark magic rushes to Usato's fallen body.

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

　I reach out my hand as if to follow him.

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

No!

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

What?　One-armed inverted stand!

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

　He thrusts his arm into the ground and simultaneously stands on his head with the strength of only one arm.

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

　No, no, no!　I know you can do it, but it's not right!

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

　He bends his left arm like a spring and leaps on the spot with only the power of his arm to escape from my hand and Mr. Ferrum's dark magic.

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

"I'm not finished yet!

"No!　This is the end, Bakemono!

　A black shadow is heading toward Mr. Usato right after he lands on the ground.

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

　Nair, who has transformed into an owl, is about to strike Usato with her body at high speed.

"Whoa!"

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

"Hiin!"

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

　--- he shouted loudly.

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

　Perhaps startled that much, Nair's wings stop and she falls to the ground.

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

　......No, why is she being dropped just because of her voice?

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

"I didn't think he would really fall. ......"

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

"Why is the person who did it surprised?

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

WATT!

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

　He bounces on the ground with one foot and one arm outstretched.

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

　He just touches it with his hand.

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

　That's all it takes to win, but it's so far away.

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

"I see you've been training hard!"

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

Are you sure about what you're doing?

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

Yes!

Yes!　Then you'll get me!

Yes!

　Usato dodges my hand and lands on his feet, backflipping, with a happy expression on his face.

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

　He is expecting me.

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

　If that's the case, I definitely want to live up to those expectations.

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

　Just as I was about to head toward him with such a feeling, I saw him right behind me..,

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

"What's wrong?　Knack?"

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 notice Amako's figure.

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

　As if she had known from the beginning that Mr. Usato would be there, she stands there and silently reaches out her hand to him as he focuses his attention on me.

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

"---Ha!

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

"Ah!"

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

　A hand extended silently just behind me.

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

　Usato-san notices it just in time, and jumps down from the spot impatiently.

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

　Amako stares blankly at her fingertips, which are about to touch Usato's, and smiles at me when she notices my stunned look.

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

"Well, that was close. Knuck, you wanna join us?"

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

　What's with this guy? He's just plain scary.

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

　She looks like a girl not so different from me, but the way she anticipates Usato's actions and tries to jam him is just too much.

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

　Amako-san comes to my side and talks to me while looking at Usato-san who is dealing with Ferrum-san's dark magic.

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

"You shouldn't push Usato too hard," he said.

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

"Why?"

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

"Because you try to force me to do something. They come up with strange tricks and do things that are out of the ordinary."

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

　It's a very real feeling. .......

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

　In fact, that's how Usato-san has been going through the rough patches.

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

"Now I'm going to go out and get him with all my might!

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

"Yes, if you and I work together, we should be able to stop him!"

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

"A combination!　That's it!

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

　Usato flicks off the tentacles of dark magic with purple patterns floating on them and avoids them.

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

　However, Mr. Ferrum, too, maneuvers the dark magic like a snake and makes it follow him.

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

"---What's so great about it is that I can do anything with it.

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

　Amako's mutterings were drowned out by the sounds of Usato and the others attacking and defending themselves.

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

　Finally, the outstretched dark magic entangles Usato's left arm.

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

　Seeing an opportunity, Mr. Ferrum seems to be trying to pull the dark magic by holding it with both hands in a tight rope-like grip.

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

"Ha ha ha!　You can't hold on with only one leg!　Nah!　Help me!

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

"I'll help you with the binding spell!　We've got an ogre to catch!　Suck it!

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

　With Nair and Ferrum pulling on the rope in front of him, Usato lightly bends his right knee and gathers strength in his arm.

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

　It is hard to believe, but he seems to be able to hold his own against them with his arm strength alone, even though he can't stand on his own feet.

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

"Are you serious ......?

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

"Wow!　I can't take this anymore!

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

"Training does not betray ......!　Muscle does not betray ......!　And you're so careless!　Ferrum!"

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

　At that moment, something happens to Mr. Ferrum who is pulling the rope of dark magic.

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

　Mr. Ferrum, who is trying to withstand something, starts to panic.

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

"No, no, wait a minute, it's taken!

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

What?　What do you mean "taken"?

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

What's my magic?　Aah!

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

　At that moment, the dark magic extending from Mr. Ferrum's hand separates and wraps itself around Usato's arm.

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

　The black magic, writhing like slime, envelops the tip of his hand and about halfway up his forearm, and changes into a cage-like shape.

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

"I thought I could do it, but you did it."

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

　...... You didn't take Mr. Ferrum's dark magic from him, did you?

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

　I know that Mr. Ferrum's dark magic can only be assimilated by Usato, but can it be taken without regard to the will of the original user?

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

You said you don't use magic, didn't you?

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

"It's not my magic.　It's your magic.

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

That's not fair!　Give it back!

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

　Ferrum turns his palm toward Usato and tries to recover his magic, but the basket hand on his arm reacts with a shudder, but does not move away.

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

"No!　You won't listen to me!

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

"It's your magic, isn't it?　Why are you giving your power to Usato?

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

You think I like it?

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

"Ability-wise, right?"

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

　The two of them are about to start fighting.

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

　No rules were broken.

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

　Usato himself doesn't use magic, but how could he take away Ferrum's magic ......?

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

"You see, he does that when you corner him, so be careful, Nack.

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

"You're used to it, Amaco. ......"

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

"It happens all the time."

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

　What's really going on with them, getting even stronger when cornered? .......

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

　I look at Usato-san in a cold sweat.

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

　He checks the condition of his black basket hand, and suddenly waves his arm---extending a rope formed by dark magic toward the forest, twisting the tip around a thick branch.

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

"Shall we continue in the woods?"

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

　A moment later, his body is pulled with a powerful pull and disappears into the forest.

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

　If you look closely, you can see Usato moving from tree to tree, deftly using one hand, one leg, and a dark magic rope.

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

"Wow, that's bullshit!"

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

"Nack!　Don't be impressed, let's go!

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

"Yes!　Next time I'm going to get you for real!

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

　Mr. Ferrum runs into the woods with Neah, the owl, on his shoulder.

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

　As I stare at her, I slap my cheek to get myself fired up again.

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

"Okay, I'll do my best!

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

"I can't move fast, so don't worry about 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 Amako's voice and jumped forward as fast as I could.

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

　I knew it, but it's not a simple thing to do. ......!

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

　That's why I'm so happy to know that the person I'm aiming for is that strong.

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

　I don't intend to lose.

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

　I will do my best to win, Usato-san. ......!
