"Father, you're going to live another 50 years, aren't you?

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

"I wish I could have met you, father, if you insist so highly."

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

　My brother nodded happily.

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

　In fact, the man who is called the Demon King was not an ordinary man, even from the atmosphere he wore.

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

　Could it be said that he had an air of unknowing awe around him?　

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

　Anyway, he was a terrifying person.

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

"Kazuki's friend, Usato. He was a more extraordinary young man than rumors had said.

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

"You mean the healing wizard who fought alongside the heroes against the Demon King?"

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

"It was just as Kazuki said. In addition, was he just as Hyde said?

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

"Yes, he also said that he met him at the meeting of the four kingdoms. I remember that he seemed to enjoy talking with him.

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

　I had heard about a man named Usato Ken when he visited the Kingdom of Nirvarna to deliver a letter.

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

　I had been paying attention to him because he was the peerless friend of the hero of light, the one who saved my life, and also because he was the disciple of Rose, a well-known member of the Lifeguard Corps.

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

　In person, he seemed to be a gentle young man, very different from the rumors, but when he was put into battle, he was a completely different story.

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

"Well, I am impressed. It's hard to even put into words what he was fighting for.

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

Is that all you got?　Even your father?

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

But his strength lies in the physical and mental strength he has cultivated through extraordinary training. I was hoping that you would become Senri's son-in-law. ......

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

　He chuckles at his father's disappointment.

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

　Kazuki did not allow Senri to meet him because he did not think they were compatible in terms of personality.

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

　Or, to be more precise, I should say that Kazuki had avoided an encounter with Senri with his god-like intuition.

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

"She turned me down."

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

"That's true. If she were there, she would be angry and tell you not to make up your mind, wouldn't she?

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

No, he wouldn't.

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

"Yes, your father is right."

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

　It is more likely that he would have challenged Usato to a duel on the spur of the moment.

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

　In a good way or a bad way, my sister has the senses of an animal. .......

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

"Well, I didn't know you'd say that much. ......"

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

"He's close to Senri's age, and he's more talented than Senri. She's a skilled healer. Even if we exclude his combat ability, he's someone I'd like to have.

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

　He is also an excellent healing magician, as it was reported that he also uses lineage enhancement on the battlefield.

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

　The fact that the training of healing wizards in Nirvarna had all ended in failure shows how rare he is.

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

"Yes, that's right. He gave me some advice on how to train healing wizards. ......"

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

　Just as he was about to convey the advice of Usato, the healing wizard, to his brother, who was entrusted with some of the affairs of state, a woman appeared from the shadows of the pillars that lined the halls of the palace.

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

　Senri, a woman with her mother's ash brown hair tied in a braid, steps out in front of us, looking somewhat pleased with herself.

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

"Senri, eavesdropping is not a very complimentary thing to do, is it?"

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

"Is it true what you just said?"

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

　Oh, no, they heard.

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

　Hmm?　Is that not bad?　...... No, it's not a good idea.

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

　Nirvarna shouldn't take any strong measures.

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

"Senri, calm down. This is what happened in Mialak, and he has refused to talk to us ......."

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