　In the three days since I spoke with Rose, preparations have already begun for the construction of the dormitory, and the carpenters hired for the project are working furiously and with great enthusiasm.

　It will take some time, but I was a little happy to see the new lifeguard quarters being built.

　A week passed, and I was summoned to the castle of the Lingle Kingdom to hear about my assignment to Velhazar, a city in the Demon King's territory.

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

　My boss, Rose, was also with me at the time, and Master Lloyd and Mr. Sergio, the minister, explained the situation to me.

　There are other things that need to be done, but the general purpose is to investigate and report back.

　I may not be able to help you, but from the perspective of other countries, the demon kingdoms and the demon tribe are still a nebulous entity. ....... First of all, I have to take the initiative in getting involved with the Demon Tribe so that the people around me will understand. .......

　As for the personnel, Rose has given me permission to select some of my own people, so I have to find people who will come to the Demon Lords with me before I leave.

　Well, after the discussion about the dispatch, I was going to investigate the magic sensing with Mr. Welshy and his subordinate wizards.

"Are you ready?"

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

　You are in the training area of the castle.

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

　Around me are some of Mr. Welshy's wizards with yellow balls like children play with.

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

　They are about to throw it at me, and all I have to do is avoid it ....... .......

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

"Well, Usato-sama. Please cover your eyes and ears."

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

"Ryoo, I'm on it."

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

　I don't know why, but I was assigned to cover my eyes and ears.

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

　I cover my eyes with a black cloth wrapped around my head and put in earplugs to block my sight and hearing.

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

　All I can feel is a little light through the cloth, and I can hear my own breathing quite clearly.

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

　...... Okay.

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

　With pitch-black vision, I grasp the magic bullet I created in my palm and spread the magic around 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

　The range is about 10 meters.

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

　I feel the particles of healing magic in my body and sharpen my nerves.

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

　The magic behind ...... wavers.

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

　You sense something approaching, and move only one step to avoid the ball.

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

"You can throw a lot more!"

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

　I can't hear the reply through my earplugs, but the balls come flying in succession from all directions in time with my voice.

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

　I know.

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

　I can see where they are coming from and how fast they are coming at me.

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

"Healing cat trick!"

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

　I clap my hands and diffuse the healing magic again.

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

　With my eyes and ears covered, I seem to be able to concentrate on sensing the magic even more.

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

　It is easy to detect a thrown ball..,

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 ball, which I tried to avoid with a little time to spare, turned at a right angle in mid-air and came toward me?

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

　I tried to avoid the ball by leaning my body deeply, but clearly the trajectory of the ball was not right!

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

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

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

　And there were more than one!

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

　Balls moving around me in all directions......, or is this a magic bullet?

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

　I was tempted to take off the blindfold, but I thought this was part of the investigation, so I continued on my way.

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 dodge a magic bullet that rushes up from below by bending over backward.

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

　I do a backflip. I change the direction of my fall with one hand on the ground, and step lightly to avoid the magic bullet that aims to land on me, bringing the situation back to zero.

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

　You've increased the number of bullets!

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

　I wasn't planning to use it, but ......!

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

"Healing Acceleration Fist ......!"

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

　He instantly wraps his right arm in a basket and changes his movement to one that uses outbursts of magic power.

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

　He falls backward while using his healing burst palm to check a larger number of magic bullets than before.

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

"Nnnn!"

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

　He bounces with the elasticity he has moved to his back--and lands with a somersault backward, slamming his healing tumbling fist on the ground and spreading the particles of healing magic widely around him to increase the range of his magic perception.

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

　I knew there is someone using magic next to Ms. Welshy.

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

　Speaking of someone who can manipulate magic bullets this well: .......

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

"...... Kazuki?"

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

　I muttered to myself, and the magic bullets that were about to surround me again vanished like mist in the air.

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

　Is it over, ......?

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

　I take off my earplugs and blindfold after confirming that there is no sign of the ball or the magic bullet.

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

"Yes, you're right. That's what I'm talking about, Usato.

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

"That was a hell of a move. I've got my eyes and ears restricted. ......"

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

　Kazuki and Flana were near Mr. Welshy, whose cheeks were somewhat scrunched up.

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

　What is this all about?　I looked at Ms. Welsey and she looked somewhat apologetic.

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

"I asked Mr. Kazuki, who was just here, to help me out," she says.

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

"I didn't know that. ....... How was it?　How was the magic sensing?"

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

　I ask Ms. Welsey, and she gives me a puzzled look as she rolls up the documents in her hand.

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

"I feel as if you have gone to a distant place, Usato-sama.

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

"I perceive objects without seeing or hearing them. This is the magic sensing ...... interesting, interesting. I would have been distraught if I had not been told about it before ...... by Mr. Farga."

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

　Mr. Welsey makes his glasses glow suspiciously.

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

　Has his research spirit been ignited?

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

"All hands on deck!"

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

　Suddenly, Ms. Welsey raised her voice and all her subordinates gathered around her.　

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

"Did you notice anything, gentlemen?"

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

"That was a great move!"

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

"I'm not here to comment!　Give us your opinions!

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

　It seems that they were expressing what they had noticed after watching my earlier move.

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

　It is a surreal sight to see a group of people in black robes shouting at the edge of the training area.

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

"With my magical eyes, it looked as if Usato-sama's magic power was circulating at an unbelievable speed!"

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

"It seems that when the magic power scattered around us is interfered with, it is transmitted to Usato-sama himself as a sensation!"

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

"Since it was able to respond to Kazuki-sama's magic bullets with mysterious trajectories, I think its accuracy is also quite good. ......"

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

"No, it was simply his reflexes, wasn't it?"

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

　...... is very heated.

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

　I was quietly watching the game, thinking that it's important to express opinions like this, when Kazuki and Frana came to my side.

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

"Usato. I'm sorry for suddenly showing up.

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

"No, I was just having fun."

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

"It was fun. ......"

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

　And Kazuki didn't really mean it either.

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

　If he could manipulate a magic bullet with serious precision and speed, I, with my restricted eyes and ears, would have caught it in a heartbeat.

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

"Usato was also moving in an amazing way, wasn't he? When I thought he fell on his back, he suddenly jumped on the spot.

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

"Huh, that was a no-motion jump technique using elasticity. It's a healing bounce."

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

Hey, is Nair here?

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

I left her with the Commander.

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

　Frana. Why are we looking for Nair here now?

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

　Do you have a problem with my healing bounds?

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

"By the way, if you collect them in your feet and stomp them ......"

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

　With a pop, it lightly jumps up on the spot by about one meter.

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

　I usually use this elasticity to accelerate. .......

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

"By switching between defense, acceleration, movement, and landing with this elasticity, I can move without relying on the basket hand.

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

"It's not healing magic anymore. I've been thinking about it for a while."

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

　For a moment, I was stunned, and then I turned to Frana and smiled.

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

　What the hell are you talking about?

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

　You're using healing magic, healing magic.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, you're funny, Frana-san."

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

"Hey, Kazuki!　Can I be mad at him?

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

"Well, well, well. ......"

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

　I guess I should explain.

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

　I think to myself, and start talking to her.

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

"Frana, there's a reason why I've been working on my magic in various ways.

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

"Really?"

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

　It is not that I use outbursts of magic or elasticity without thinking.

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

　Most of the techniques I have developed are just a result of my own impulses and spontaneity, but of course, I have thought about how to use them accordingly.

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

"As a lifeguard, I have to get to the injured who need help before anyone else does."

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

"But you may be physically far away."

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

"Maybe there is a bad person near the injured person."

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

"Well, yeah."

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

Then you'll have to work on your body.

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

"I'm sorry, I'm talking about magic, right?　Did I miss one thing?"

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

　I was unintentionally talking about training.

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

　It's not a mistake, I guess, but I don't think Frana would be convinced.

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

"So you're saying that Usato is improving new techniques and training physically ...... to ensure that he can save the people who ask for help?"

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

"Yes, that's right. Frana, I think Kazuki said everything I wanted to say."

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

"It's definitely not true. ......"

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

　As I look away from her, a small black animal jumps on my shoulder.

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

　Normally I would have thought it was Nair, but it was not, as she was currently training with Ferrum in the dormitory.

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

　With its fluffy fur and slightly sloping ears, it was Rose's pet, Kukuru, a rare demon called Noir Rabbit.

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

"Kukuru!"

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

"Kukul, didn't you go to the Commander's?"

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

　I stroke my finger on Kukul's chin, who had followed me here on a whim.

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

　Is this a gesture that captivates people?　The first to react to Kukul, who did it naturally and squinted his eyes, was Frana.

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

"What a cute little girl!"

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

"You better watch out. She has a good personality."

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

"Cu."

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

"He's flirting with you so much!"

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

　I'm second only to Rose in her affection, but I've been fooled by this girl.

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

"Oh, come here. ......"

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

　With a small leap, Kukuru crossed to Kazuki's shoulder, using Frana's hand as a foothold.

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

"Wow, haha, what a tickle. ......"

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

"Cu♪"

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

　Kazuki tickles Kukuru on the cheek.

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

　Frana watches the exchange between Kukuru and Kazuki in silence, and senses intuitively that they are in danger.

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

"Hey, Usato!　Isn't she a bad character?

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

"Kukuru is only obedient to his master, the leader. Kukuru! Come here!

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

"Cu."

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

　My voice brings Kukul back to me.

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

　I sigh lightly as I see Kukuru jump on my shoulder.

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

"He seems to be obedient to you, too.

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

Haha, it just looks that way.

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

　I am afraid because I don't know what is going on in my gut.

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

　Kazuki then looks at Mr. Welshy, who is still arguing with him.

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

"I'm glad Welshy is feeling better, too."

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

"Were you depressed before?"

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

"Yeah, because we decided to stay in the world, you know."

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

　...... Okay.

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

　Well, then I'm sorry you had to go through that, Mr. Welshy.

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

　He promised to return us to our world, but we refused to return to our world.

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

"...... Usato, have you heard about the possibility of sending a letter to our world?"

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

"No, I have not heard of it. ...... Is that so?"

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

"Theoretically, I mean. I'm talking about the possibility of being sent to a different time period or even a different world.

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

　I thought about it as Kazuki continued, "It's only a possibility, though.

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

　Letter to the original world: .......

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

　If I could send a letter to the original world, what would I write?

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

"It's hard if I write honestly, isn't it?

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

"Well, I guess so. I think it's best if you just say goodbye to ...... and don't write why you left."

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

　If I write that I was summoned to another world and fought against a demon king, people will definitely think I lost my mind.

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

　The best thing to do here is to write only farewell words as Kazuki said.

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

"By the way, have you heard about your senpai yet, Kazuki?"

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

"Oh, you mean he wants to join the lifeguard corps?　I heard about that.

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

"That's a very bold move!"

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

　It seems that the senpai has already told Kazuki and Frana.

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

　I wonder if Celia-sama is listening at this rate?

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

"I think it's a good idea. I don't think it's a good idea. ...... Oh, no, I don't mean to be snide or anything."

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

"You mean there's no formal atmosphere or anything like that?"

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

"Yes, something like that."

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

　I nodded to Kazuki, who was followed by Frana.

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

　I kind of get it.

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

　I wonder if that's why I'm more suited to the lifeguard corps. .......

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

"Even if you retire from the position of a hero, it doesn't change the relationship between us, so I really don't care that much about it.

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

"Sure, it's not that big of a change just because of where you live. ......"

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

　It's not like the country you live in or anything has changed, just that a senior member is added to the lifeguard's daily routine.

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

　Maybe I was thinking a little too hard.

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

"Besides, I really think it would be interesting if senpai went to Usato's place."

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

"Oh, I know what you mean."

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

"No, I don't know.

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

　He gave me a very nice smile.

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

　I'm scared to death of what he expects me to do if he thinks I'm interesting.
