　We were resting here, waiting for Shea to wake up, but she was in a deep sleep and showed no sign of waking up anytime soon.

　But that does not give us the option of leaving Keira and Shea here and moving on.

　There is no guarantee that she is still safe within the healing range, and most importantly, there is no guarantee that the demons will not attack from the outside again.

"You're getting better at this, aren't you?"

"Heh heh."

　At the worst, I watch Keira training right next to me, spinning her magic, while thinking about the option of going back and starting over.

　The dark magic is not fast, but it moves smoothly and without any stagnation.

　Normally, there would be a jam, but Keira is able to circulate her magical power naturally.

"First the hands. Next, if you can get the feeling of circulating magic throughout your body, you will be able to do more and more.

Me?

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

　I am aware that I am highly skilled at it.

I can do it without thinking.

"It's not like I'm consciously turning the magic, but I'm always turning the magic. Well, I've only recently been able to do this."

　I should say that I found myself in a state where I was able to keep the magic circulating in my body at all times.

"Can I do it too? ......"

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

I can't tell you that you can do it. There are no shortcuts in this training, so it is important to continue the simple process over and over again. I can tell you that ...... is not a waste of time by any means."

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

　I believe that no training is meaningless.

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

　Some may dismiss it as useless or unnecessary, but at least I can say that I have grown so much because of the teachings of my mentor, Rose, and the training I have accumulated.

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

"Magic spinning is a technique that still has a lot of room for development. The more people who can use it, the more things we can do. You, too, should have a broad perspective and find your own unique technique."

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

"Good answer."

"Who's the devil?"

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

You really existed.

"I thought Usato-san was much more devilish.

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

"Keira ......?"

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

"Oh, I didn't mean that in a bad way. But the way she looked when she was fighting and assimilating with Mr. Ferrum, ...... well, she was very close to the devil I imagined. ......

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

"Well, that's how it is. ......"

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

　So much so that they even named him Devil Usato.

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

　He literally looks like a devil, but maybe that's part of the reason why the devil hates him so much.

"Your fight this time was great, Usato-san.

Even when he was surrounded, he still had time to spare.

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

"...... I guess so."

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

　I know, so it's a weapon.

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

　I have strongly felt this since I mastered the healing sense.

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

　Every time I use it in battle, it makes me think that maybe it is more of a weapon than I imagined.

"The dark magic twins would have been troublesome opponents if they were conscious, but I guess they can't show their true power if they are still ...... controlled."

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

　The dark magic is called "thread".

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

　It creates threads that hurt those it touches and manipulates them.

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

　The twins have been together since birth, and this power was awakened because of it. It is a proof of their bond before their death.

"Demons control corpses. People who preceded me are now under the influence of this ability and are being forced to fight ......."

"...... Let's change the subject, shall we?"

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

"Yes. Oh, I wanted to tell you something, Usato-san.

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

What is it?

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

"It's about the person you're training at ......."

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

　You mean Elle and the others?

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

　What is it that's bothering you?　When I tilted my head to the side, she said with a serious look on her face.

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

"Veena-san sometimes looks at Usato-san in a suspicious way."

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

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

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

　But he's a great talent.

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

　There's something a little weird about him, but his mentality is simply strong.

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

"She's happy to train with me ......, but I guess she's simply used to it."

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

"That's pretty extraordinary, isn't 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 feel like Keira just now spoke her mind and said what she really thought: .......

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

　I looked at her and she was tilting her head in a strange manner.

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

　I'm not aware of it. ......!

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

"Either you've had some mental training or you've had similar ...... experiences, either way, you're still a weirdo."

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

"Be careful. I sense an evil presence."

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

"You say that much ......?"

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

　No, he's a suspicious man in more ways than one, that's for sure.

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

　In the first place, he doesn't look like a demon, he looks like a demon, but ...... I don't know why.

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

　Well, whatever his identity is, if he becomes my subordinate, he will participate in the training regardless.

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

"Ugh...... ugh......"

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

　Shea lets out a groan as if from a nightmare.

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

　...... though she has healed all her poisoned body wounds with healing magic, does she still have mental problems?

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

　As I approach to check on her, I notice that she is unconsciously trying to reach for the fire.

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

　I didn't lay her down close enough to burn her, though.

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

　Mental care is also a kind of role of the healing wizard.

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

　Her swooning expression gradually becomes calm as I take her hand in my hand covered with healing magic.

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

"Are you acquainted with this person, Usato-san?"

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

"Well, yes. We talked only once. ......

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

　I saw him in the streets of Mearaq and only spoke to him a few days later.

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

　She was an enigmatic girl who used the unfamiliar masculine name "Ole".

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

　To be honest, she's still a mystery to me today. .......

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

"A bandage soaked in blood: ......"

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

　She still had it wrapped around her hand.

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

　She had washed it with water once and most of the blood was gone, but it still looked as if it was .......

"It's as if they know they're going to outburst another systemic enhancement ......."

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

　...... thinking too much?

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

　As far as I can see from his hands, he doesn't seem to have done anything dangerous to cause an outburst since then.

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

"How did this person get here in the first place?"

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

"I wonder why he was in this poisoned place, and why he is in the demon king's territory."

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

　I really don't know why.

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

　The bridge to the Demon Lord's territory and the most important places must be guarded, so it shouldn't be so easy to get in.

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

　And the last time I saw her was in Mearaq.

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

　From there to today should be no more than two months. ...... Maybe she came here via Mialak and the land of the beastmen?

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

　...... Why?　Why? What's the purpose?

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

I guess we'll have to talk to him first.

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

"...... hmmm ......"

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

"Mr. Usato, he's going to wake up."

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

　Shea opens her eyes, as if she is trying to wake up.

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

　She stared at the void in a daze, tears in her eyes, and uttered a muffled voice.

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

"Help me. ......"

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

"----"

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

　He replies without hesitation.

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

　She had tried to ask for help when we first met in Mearaq.

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

　I'm the one who was too stupid to see it.

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

"......U......U......U......"

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

　She got up and hugged me with all her might.

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

　She cried like a child, and as I rubbed her back, I realized how serious what had happened to her was.
