　After what felt like a long boat ride, we arrived safely in Mearaq.

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

　Fortunately, there was no commotion on the way, so we were relieved, but we did not let up and decided to pack up our belongings and go down to the port of Mearaq.

　When we arrived at the port with the Demon King and Koga leading the way, we were greeted by a familiar face.

"Mr. Karon!

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

"Hey, it's been a while. Usato!

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

　Mr. Karon, a large man with an impressive and cheerful smile.

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

　He is a knight of Mearrak who used to run amok because of the dragon's power.

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

　He waved his hand lightly to us and then spoke to the Demon King in a serious manner.

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

"Welcome, my friends. My Lord!"

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

"Hmm, Falga's bloodline."

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

"!　Did you know about ......?"

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

"Of course. Not many dragons and men are of mixed blood."

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

　He scratched his head in embarrassment at the demon king's words and saluted him with a fist to the chest.

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

"I will personally lead you to the Queen of Mialark, Master Norn."

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

　It appears that Mr. Karon will be guiding us to the castle.

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

　After confirming that the Demon Lord had agreed, he turned to us.

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

"I'll take care of the rest, and you guys can move toward the inn.

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

"Yes, sir. The inn is located at ......."

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

"As I informed you before, it is near the Demon Lord's palace."

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

　From here, the Demon Lord will face Master Norn, Master Lloyd, and Master Falga.

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

　Once we have handed over the duty of escort to Mr. Karon and Ms. Leona, we will head for our base accommodation in this country.

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

"You look even more fearless than before, Usato.

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

"No, no, not yet.

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

"You're still the same in that way, aren't you?"

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

　Mr. Karon taps me on the shoulder and looks at Leona.

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

"Leona, don't take a detour, just show her the way."

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

I know. You do your job.

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

Ha-ha-ha. See you later, Usato."

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

　As I watched him, Mialark, the Kingdom of Lingle, and the knights of both kingdoms heading toward the castle with the Demon King, I noticed something.

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

　Mr. Karon is walking normally without a cane.

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

"Is your leg better, Mr. Karon?"

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

"It's better enough that it doesn't interfere with my daily life. With the help of Mr. Farga's magic, potions, and rehabilitation, I'm on the way to recovery. I can't fight like I used to, though.

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

"But it's still good enough."

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

　I'm so glad.

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

　We are relieved to hear that Mr. Karon is now able to walk without a cane.

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

　Then I notice that my senior next to me has a difficult expression on his face.

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

"Senpai, is something wrong?"

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

"Yes, I met Kalon from ...... another world once. It's kind of strange to think about it.

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

　You and Kazuki used to fight me in a parallel world, right?

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

　I had forgotten that I had encountered Mr. Karon from that world there.

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

"The reason he did so in the parallel world is probably because Usato never met me."

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

"Really?　Neah."

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

"Because Kalon's dragon power went out of control because the spirit of the evil dragon was revived."

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

　Nair tried to manipulate the corpse of the evil dragon to capture me, and in doing so, the spirit of the evil dragon came back to life.

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

　Without that encounter itself, there would have been no Mr. Kalon who ran amok due to the awakening of the evil dragon, and then there would have been Mr. Kalon as a hero of Mialak in the parallel world.

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

"Well, it's a little sad to think so.

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

"You're being a little hard on yourself, just a little."

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

"Actually, I'm not that worried. In the parallel universe, you've changed your mind, haven't you?　Then you'll meet me someday.

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

　You sound strangely convinced.

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

　Well, to be honest, I've been thinking that way myself.

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

"I'm already dead, though, so we'll never meet!"

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

"If it depresses you, you shouldn't have said it. ......"

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

"Are they idiots, these guys ......"

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

　Senior and Ferrum are downcast, and I and Nair are appalled.

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

　Yes, I who am over there will never reach the reality where I am now.

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

　Senpai and Kazuki are gone.

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

　He couldn't bear such a reality, so he continued to fight, even to the point of hurting himself.

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

　He thought that this would be his punishment for not being able to save his senpai and Kazuki.

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

"Still, you had a reason to fight, didn't you? ......"

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

　I'm sure I had other reasons to fight than revenge.

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

　That's why I didn't step over the line and keep fighting for someone else.

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

"Hey, Usato.

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

Look at this. Look at the streets of Mearaq.

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

　Nair's voice made me look forward, and we moved from the harbor to the castle town.

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

　The town was full of people, and there were many stalls and stores selling seafood like a market.

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

　I was struck by the completely different sight from my previous visit.

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

"This place is more picturesque when it's crowded with people, isn't it?

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

"I wanted to show you the sights of this city. When you visited here before, the people of Mearaq were evacuated. ......"

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

　Before, the people of this city had to take refuge elsewhere because Mr. Karon had been swallowed up by the dragon's power and was out of control.

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

　Because of that, this place became a ghost town, so I can say that this town full of people is a new sight for me.

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

"It's so much livelier when there are people around."

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

　Ferrum, who is assimilated into me, and Nair, who is on my shoulder in an owl-like state, are also looking around with interest.

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

　Although I don't show my dark magic, I attract a lot of attention from the people around me when I have an owl on my shoulder.

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

　...... No, it's a really great attention-getter.

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

　Is it because of the presence of Leona, the brave woman of this city?

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

　Leona-san, perhaps realizing that I am twisting my head, smiles and talks to me.

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

"You are the one who saved this city. Of course, they know your face.

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

"Yeah,......, it's kind of itchy,......."

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

"In addition to that, his name is spreading in many ways, as one of the people involved in ending the war, and as a person in the middle of a love affair with Suzune the Brave."

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

Gah!""Gah!""

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

　I and Senpai both choked at the same time.

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

　I was really surprised to hear my senpai's cock echoing here, even if it was not related to the Demon King.

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

"I don't think I've made a mistake in the past ...... Sorry, Usato-kun, I'm extremely sorry about this, but ......!"

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

"No, no, I know you didn't mean anything by it, so I won't blame you now. ......"

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

　And since the Kingdom of Lingle has corrected the rumors, there should be no misunderstanding, even if there is some doubt.

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

　Or so we would like to think.

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

　On the other hand, it is discouraging to think that there are people in the spotlight who are under such a misconception.

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

　I'm sure it's not a very pleasant feeling for the seniors, let alone for me. .......

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

"Huh...... hmm?"

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

　At that time, you suddenly see a figure in your field of vision that looks different from the people on the street.

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

　The actual "I'm not a fan of the way you look at me, but I'm not a fan of the way you look at me.　...... boy wearing a gray robe like a traveler wears.

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

　In addition to the robe, there was a cutlass in a scabbard on her waist.　In addition to the robe, she was equipped with a curved sword similar to a cutlass, which was kept in a scabbard at her waist.

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

　He was staring at me with his reddish black hair tied back in a bun, and when he noticed my gaze, he gave me a friendly smile and waved at me.

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

"No, I'm not, but ...... I'll wave anyway."

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

　I feel bad about ignoring him, so I dutifully wave back.

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

　Then he looks at me slightly and his expression suddenly changes to a bitter 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

"Hmm?"

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

　I tilt my head, not understanding why he makes such a face.

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

　He is not giving me a look, so should I go and ask him?

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

　As I was thinking this, an older student approached me as I stopped and put his hand on my shoulder.

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

"What's the matter, Usato-kun?　What's wrong, Usato-kun?

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

"Oh, no, ......, didn't you see that ...... there just now?"

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

　The boy who was there a moment ago is nowhere to be found.

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

　He went to the alley nearby?

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

"No, nothing like that."

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

"Yeah?　Then let's go ahead."

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

　...... In case you missed it, let's keep in mind what happened to the boy earlier.

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

　I just noticed that when he changed his expression into a bitter one, he was looking right at senpai.

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

　It could be someone who has a grudge against him.

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

"Senpai."

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

Hmm?

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

Do you remember anyone who'd want to hurt you?　Other than me?

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

"No, I don't.　......, you have a grudge against me?

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

　Well, I guess you do.

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

　He wouldn't do anything to deserve a grudge.

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

　...... No, thinking about it here will not give you an answer forever.

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

　Let's report this for now and do what we can do now.

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

I'll do what I can do for now.

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

　Leona led us through the town to a section of the city that used to be on a lake.

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

　Apparently, the city had been enlarged for the upcoming meeting, and an inn had been built on top of it for the Demon King, the upcoming royal family, and their related people.

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

　The city is lined with several large inns in the section of the city that has been expanded, and it is amazing that all of them are accommodations for the people coming to the meeting.

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

　It is amazing that all of them are accommodations for people who come to the meeting. The fact that such a large scale can be built in such a short time is probably due to the existence of magic, but I could understand why this place is called a city on the water.

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

"Ferrum, you can unassimilate now."

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

　I unassimilate with Ferrum when I arrive at the inn.

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

　It looked more like a luxurious mansion than an inn from the outside, but it was quite spacious inside as well,

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

"As I'm sure you are aware, you will be living here as guards and lookouts for the Demon Lord."

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

"Of course I know that. ...... Kazuki, are you with Master Lloyd?"

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

　Leona nodded at the senior's words.

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

"Kazuki is at the same base as King Lloyd's bodyguard. It's not far from here, so you might want to go see him. Just go to ......."

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

　Leona looks complicated as she turns her attention to Ferrum.

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

　As she tilts her head curiously, Leona speaks to her in a grave tone of voice.

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

"I want the demon tribe ...... to stay away from the outside as much as possible. The people who gather here are the royal families of other countries and their related people. Many of them may have discrimination against subhumans, as well as the image of the demon tribe. So..."

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

"I know. You're just saying that for my sake, right?"

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

"...... sorry."

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

No problem. Thanks.

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

　The war against the demons ended some time ago.

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

　It is not surprising that some countries still have a frightening image of demons.

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

　Ferrum knows this.

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

It's not so much that the Lingle Kingdom is strange, but rather that this is normal. You don't have to worry about it.

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

"Well, is that right ......?"

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

"Yeah. When I go outside, I'll be assimilated into Usato or Nair and follow them, so it won't be a problem."

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

"Huh, I can do it too, right?　Ferrum."

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

"You're physiologically impossible."

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

"I'm a girl, too!

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

　The senior is shocked by Ferme's tone of voice.

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

　The same can be said for ...... the Demon King, Ciel. Amira would not do such a selfish thing.

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

　The problem is Coga, but I'll take care of him.

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

"Let's talk about the rest of it, shall we?"

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

　Then Leona explains about the inn.

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

　First, she talks about the care and support of the employees who work here.

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

　Mialak told me that he hired people who have no prejudice or aversion against subhumans, but we are dealing with a demon king who is tall and intimidating even in his normal state of being.

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

　Even people who are not afraid of subhumans are scared of him, so we, who are based here, decided to help him.

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

　This was something that couldn't be helped, so my senpai and I agreed to this.

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

"Now, I don't want this to be used too often, but there is a training area in the section where this lodge is located.

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

"Training grounds?　Why?

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

"I told you that many royal families and their officials will be gathering in Mearaq from now on.　Some of them will arrive a few days before the meeting, so a place for recreational purposes, such as a training ground, has been prepared so that they will not have too much time on their hands.

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

　The royals themselves don't train at ......, do they?　If so, does that mean there is a place to watch the games?

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

　Leona, you're worried that I'm going to get myself into trouble at the training ground.

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

"No need to worry. I have decided that while I am here, I will not do the kind of training I used to do at the lifeguard station.

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

"Not like the idiots on board who were doing crazy reverse push-ups..."

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

"I'm sure you'll do something weird in the other direction. I know it, I know it."

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 silently grab Ferrum and Nair by the neck and turn back to Leona.

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

"Leona-san, can you tell me where this training place is?　---I'm going to go for a little drive with these girls.

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

"Ugh, of course it's not true!　I'm telling you, you can't train on the road!

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

Let go of me!

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

　Well, it is indeed a joke, so I let them go.

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

　Leona laughs at them as their faces turn pale.

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

"If anything happens, let the innkeeper or the knight guarding the inn know.

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

"Yes, sir."

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

I'm going back to Master Norn now. You take care of the rest.

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

Yes, sir. Thank you very much for your time.

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

　Leona walks out the door of the inn.

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

　She puts her hand on the door and looks back at me as if she had just remembered something.

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

"Oh, yes. I just heard from the guard that there were other people who have already arrived besides you.

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

"What?　Is that so?

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

The chief of Hinomoto, land of the beastmen. Amako and Kannagi are both at the inn with him, so why don't you visit them?"

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

　Hayate is here?

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

　It's true that Mearaak and Hinomoto are right next to each other, so it's not surprising if he comes early.

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

　There is still some time before the Demon Lords come back, so let's go say hello to Mr. Hayate before then.
