　Half a month has passed since we returned from the demon king's territory.

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

　During that time, the world has changed dramatically with the Kingdom of Lingle at the center.

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

　The Demon King's army, which had been commanded by the Demon King, the object of fear for humans---the Demon Tribe surrendered. The shock was not an ordinary one, and not only the people of the Lingle Kingdom but also other countries could not hide their turmoil.

　Some of them said that the demon tribe should be destroyed and why the Demon King was allowed to live.

　When I heard this story from Mr. Welshy, who visited the rescue mission, I had mixed feelings, even though I had expected it.

　...... and the story of the meeting between the countries.

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

　I was often invited to the castle to listen to the talks, but I had never imagined that the talks would take place in Mearaq.

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

　I did not expect that the meeting would be held in Lukvis, where children gather, but I never imagined that it would be in Mialak with Mr. Farga.

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

　The main advantage is that there are many ships from Mialak.

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

　It seems to be the best choice for the meeting where many people gather, as long as there is a port, the rest can be reached smoothly to Mialark by ship.

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

　I was given a big role in the process.

　I guess they decided that we who know him somewhat would be the only ones who could do the job, even if it's a bit of a stretch to meet the Demon Lord again.

　In that case, Nagi will be with us, so we can feel somewhat secure.

　And about Ms. Nagi---today she is finally coming to the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

"Will she arrive soon?"

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

"Soon, I think."

　In front of the gate leading out of the Lingle Kingdom, Amako and I wait for Ms. Nagi to come back from the Demon King's territory.

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

　The soldiers sent from the Kingdom of Lingle to the Demon King's territory to guard the gate, so that Mr. Nagi can come here.

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

　......They could have come a little earlier, but they were sent for a few days to see the character of the soldiers, so they were late until today.

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

　If she has decided to come here, it must mean that the soldiers are okay.

"Oh, as usual. So you're allowed to stay here, then?

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

"Because Lloyd-sama ordered me to."

"Ha-ha-ha, then how do you think Mr. Kanoko will react?"

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

"He will mistake Kannagi for me and me for Usato's child."

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

"I just pulled back my laughter."

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

　What kind of mistake?

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

　Amaco's height itself has changed.

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

　But then again, with that man, I don't think it's a joke. .......

"Speaking of which, where does Kannagi live?"

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

"Oh, he will live in the castle, but there is a possibility that he will live in the lifeguard station.

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

"What? Why?"

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

"Because yesterday, the Commander ordered me to clean an unused room."

　To tell the truth, Master Lloyd must be having some trouble dealing with Ms. Nagi.

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

　Rose thinks that he is not sure what kind of environment would be good for her, so he has prepared several candidates for her to live in.

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

"Well, I'll have to talk to Sarla about it, but I think mine is a possibility."

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

"Indeed."

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

"We're the same beastmen, and we're kind of like a distant family."

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

　When I say distant, I mean horizontally or vertically distant.

　But if Mr. Nagi chooses to stay at the lifeguard station..,

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

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to see Nagi-san and the leader of the group arm-wrestle."

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

"...... Can you imagine Mr. Rose losing?"

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 can't imagine.

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

　I forgot about it when I came back from the demon king's territory, but he must have been seriously injured before he left, right?

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

　His left shoulder was cut by Nero Agence's magic sword.

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

　I'm sure it was a serious injury, but when I came home, he was sitting in the Commander's office looking so relaxed that I forgot about the injury itself. ......!

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

　Isn't he seriously immortal ......?

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

　As I am once again aware of my mentor and supervisor's craziness, a familiar soldier, Mr. Thomas, who is guarding the door, calls out to me.

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

　I respond to him and move to the side so that the carriage can pass through.

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

　The heavy door is opened, and through it the familiar carriage moves forward---and stops in front of us.

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

"......This is the Kingdom of Lingle in this time period. ......"

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

　A girl with a sword in a scabbard at her waist emerges from the carriage.

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

　She comes out with her hands around her eyes in the glare of the sky, and her eyes move to the streets of the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

"Oh, Usato, Amako, it's been half a month!"

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

"---Wow, you've got to go to ......!

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

　She suddenly lost her balance in front of me and tried to stop unnaturally.

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

　I catch her shoulder as if to support her, because I don't want her to fall down.

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

"Are you all right?"

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

"Oh, I'm sorry!　I think my legs are numb from sitting so long!　Ugh ...... inside me ......!"

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

　He's mumbling something, but it doesn't matter since he's not hurt.

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

　Nagi-san takes a step away from me as if he's regained his composure, then takes my hand and Amako's and smiles brightly at us.

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

"It's nice to see you again!"

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

"It's good to see you again!" "It's good to see you too. It's been a long time ......, but how is the Kingdom of Lingle after hundreds of years?"

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

"Yes. Yes, many things have changed, but the atmosphere is the same.

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

　I am glad you are pleased.

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

　In the past, I heard that she never visited Lingle Kingdom twice.

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

"I've been asked to show you the way to the castle. ...... Do you want to walk from here?"

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

"Shall we? I'd like to see the streets for the first time in a long time.

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

I understand.

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

　After explaining to the soldier who is pulling the reins of the horses that he will take care of us from here, we, including Mr. Nagi, start walking toward the castle.

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

"...... Hmmm, these things haven't changed."

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

"The fact that they don't stare at me when they see me as a beast."

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

　If you look toward the city, you will see people looking at us curiously.

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

　In fact, it might be my fault that they are looking at me strangely.

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

　While I'm thinking about this, a woman with a stall calls out to us.

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

"Hey, are you Amako's sister?"

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

"Well, more like ...... my ancestor's sister?"

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

"Gosh ......."

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

　Nagi-san backs away after receiving a mysterious shock.

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

　I quickly support her, and she clutches her chest with her cheeks twitching.

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

"Mr. Nagi, are you all right?

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

"No, well, I've been shown the reality of the situation. ...... I'm my ancestor's sister. ...... I see... I'm hundreds of years old considering the year I was born. ......

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

"My actual age is different."

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

"Yeah, yeah, I know. ......"

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

　If you think about it, the family relationship between Amako and Nagi-san is very complicated.

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

　Because from Nagi's point of view, Amako is like her sister's descendant.

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

"Complicated relationship."

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

Well, is that so?

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

　I get the feeling that Amako is unknowingly complicating the conversation.

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

　I let Ms. Nagi stand up and move forward, wondering why she looked at me and nodded her head so mysteriously.

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

"Hm?　It's kind of noisy up ahead.

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

　Nagi-san's mutterings made me look ahead and I saw people on the street shift to the side as if they sensed something.

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

　I sense something just from that, so I move Nagi to the side with Amako.

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

"Naaack!　I hope you're not too weak yet!

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 hear the sound of a child's voice and the sound of a hot voice coming from the front.

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

　As the figure becomes clearer and clearer, a group of seven people comes toward us.

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

"Hang in there!　You can do it!

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

You're a great guy for just a kid!　You're a good guy!

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

Don't forget to hydrate!

"If you're at your limit, just let me know!　If it's too hard, I'll slow you down!

"Oh, thank you very much!　Gee, I'll try my best!

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

　Five tough-looking guys are running around the boy.

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

　As I sigh at the scene, which looks like a kidnapping scene to say the least, I spot Ferrum following behind him with dead eyes, and Nair on top of his head.

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

"Oh my God, these guys..."

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

"Why do they only have a soft spot for knackers ......?"

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

　I was relieved to see that Ferrum was training me.

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

　Nair is not physically strong enough to join us, so it's a good thing he's participating.

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

　Then a group of tough guys came right in front of me and stopped in front of me.

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

"Oh, Bakemono!　Are you skipping work, you bastard!

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

"Just in time!　Cast a healing spell on the knacker!

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

　I'll do it.

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

　I cast a healing spell on the exhausted Nack while passing through the tongs and mills.

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

"Are you okay, Nack?　Are you having a hard time with all those evil-looking people?

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

　The strong men with menacing looks on their faces cower their shoulders.

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

　It's one thing to be nice to a knacker, but how can you treat me any differently than you treat them?

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

"You know what, guys? Don't you guys have a different attitude than you did when I joined the rescue team?　You can't discriminate, you can't discriminate."

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

　When I told them that, the tough guys snickered at me.

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

What?　Why should we be nice to a monster that's going along with the Commander's real training?"

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

Don't you dare put Nack in the same room with you.

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

"You've been like us from the very beginning.

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

"Get out when you get back. I'll show you who's boss."

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

"I think that's what I'm talking about. ......"

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

"I know his face is different, but Usato is on the strong side. ......"

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

　I let the whispers of Ferrum and Nair sink in.

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

　We'll settle up with the tough guys later, but for now our priority is to guide Mr. Nagi.

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

　He watches the strongmen and Nack resume their training, and turns back to Nagi and Amako.

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

"Well, let's go to the castle.

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

"It's amazing to see it in person. ...... lifeguard. The way Usato has changed and ......."

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

"The lifeguard is kind of a national landmark in this country."

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

　Judging by the familiar reactions of the people in town, Amaco's words are not quite wrong. .......

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

　I get myself together and start walking.

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

　I take this opportunity to ask him what I was going to ask him beforehand.

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

"Mr. Nagi, how have you been while we have been here?

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

　Since we are in the city, I omit the words "Demon King" and "Demon Domain.

"He was more quiet than I thought he would be. I would have stopped him if he tried anything strange, but he seemed to have been concentrating on the reconstruction of the city and dealing with the aftermath of the war.

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

"I see. ......"

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

"I've been watching them for a few days after the soldiers from the Kingdom of Lingle arrived, and they didn't seem to cause any problems, so I think they're okay for now."

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

　It seems that the Demon King is also working for the sake of the demon tribe.

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

　Well, I didn't have much doubt, but I'm glad he didn't do anything that would make me flip my palm.

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

"...... from now on..."

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've been thinking about what I'm going to do."

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

　Mr. Nagi mutters something like that as he looks out over the streets of the Lingle Kingdom.

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

"This world is not the world I used to live in. The demon tribe and the demon king that I fought so hard against are no longer my enemies.

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

"For a moment, I lost sight of the meaning of life."

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

　As far as Nagi's past is concerned, she has lived through the battle all her life.

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

　Just when she thought she could live a normal life after defeating the Demon King, she was sealed by Mr. Hisago and awakened hundreds of years in the future.

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

　Her state of mind is impossible to fathom.

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

"But when I thought about it, I realized that I didn't really know anyone that well, and that it wouldn't be any different in any era, so I was depressed."

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

"I had been fighting my whole life, so I wondered if I could choose a different path from now on, and that made me feel strangely positive."

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

　I see. ...... I know, right.

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

　Finally, you can take a path other than fighting, Mr. Nagi.

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

"I think that Hisago's sealing of me has a meaning. Specifically, to stop 'something' he left behind. ...... and maybe you."

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

Me?

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

"Yes, if you get involved with the Demon King, you might get into trouble again. I'll help you then.

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

　I usually don't like to get into trouble, but it's usually reassuring to know that Nagi-san is there to help.

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

"Oh, but first, I'm going back home. Back home. After the Lingle Kingdom, I'm going to see Hinomoto."

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

"That's where the bronze statue of Kannagi used to be."

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

　Amako, who had been silent up to now, blurts out something like that, and Nagi-san backs away again with a mysterious shock.

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

　I remember that there was a statue of Mr. Nagi in the village where Linka's parents live.

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

　From her point of view, that might be an indescribable feeling.

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

"......Wow, I forgot... ....... What should I do, I wonder if I'll end up like the local god of existence?"

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

"There is a possibility that you will be made me and I will be recognized as your daughter."

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

"What do you mean ......!"

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

　I bet there will be a big fuss.

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

　Should we tell Hayate-san in Hinomoto about Nagi-san while we're at it?

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

　...... I don't want to damage Hayate's stomach any further, but .......

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

"When Kannagi goes back to her hometown, I'll go with her."

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

"What, Amako too?"

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

"Yes, now that the demon army is over, I want to see my mother."

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

　Going home.

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

　No, ......, let's not think about it any more.

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

　But Hinomoto...

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

　The next meeting will take place in Mearaq, the nearest human settlement to Hinomoto.

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

　Perhaps Hayate, the chief of the beastmen, might attend the meeting.

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

"...... If that happens, does that mean that other subhumans may also come?"

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

　I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling.

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

　In the first place, there is Ms. Frana, the daughter of the chief of the Elven tribe.

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

　If my fears come true, the meeting centering on the demon king is going to be quite chaotic.

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

"Ah, Usato. Why don't you ask him where Kannagi lives?"
