　Shea woke up and told me a story that far exceeded my expectations.

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

　She was living in a village in the countryside of Calm Helio, and the tragedy that had befallen her was beyond her expectations.

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

　Unable to resist the will of a ghost from the past named Mr. Hisago, she had come to this Demon Lord's territory.

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

"Nice to meet you, my name is Keira, Usato-san's first disciple!

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

"Uh-huh?　I am Shea Garmio. I'm ....... Nice to meet you.

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

　She is introducing herself to Keira, who seems to have calmed down.

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

　But the most disciple .......

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

"Keira, I'm afraid you're not my best student."

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

"...... eh ......"

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

　No, I didn't expect to see such a look of despair on your face.

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

"I wasn't the best ......?"

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

"There's a boy named Nack. He's about your age."

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

"...... mmmm."

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

　Keira stares at a spot on the campfire, biting her lower lip and shaking.

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

　Is that it?　Did she want to be the best pupil?

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

　While you are smiling at Keira's childlike behavior, you hear the sound of someone's stomach growling.

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

　I turn to look at the sound and see Shea, her face bright red, clutching her stomach.

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

"......I'm sorry, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. ......Ugh."

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

"No, don't worry about it. Keira, let's get dinner ready."

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

"Hi ......!"

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

　After all that fighting.

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

　I'm hungry, too, and we can talk more about it after I cook dinner.

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

I'm hungry, too.

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

　We were eating a simple dinner when it was completely dark.

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

　I say simple, but it was a pot of meat, fish and wild plants brought by Keira's cloak and seasoned. We didn't really intend to make it as lavish as we did, but given ......Shea's state of mind, Keira and I made it to cheer her up a little.

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

"Is it good?　"Is it good, Shea?"

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

"Thank you. Thank you, Keira. I haven't had a hot meal at ...... in a long time."

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

　Shea is now eating a pot of food in a bowl with deep emotion.

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

　I wondered what to do when she didn't want to leave me right after she woke up, but she's much calmer now. ......

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

"So you're here because you've been chasing the devil."

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

"...... Yeah, because somehow I kind of knew where the devil was."

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

　...... then you are saying that the demon was coming here for the demon king's power.

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

　The timing of the demon retrieving the demon king's power, the timing of Shea's attempt to defeat the demon, and the timing of my coming to the place coincided to create such a situation.

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

　......It was a close call in a double sense.

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

How did you get through this poisonous fog?　It's not like you've been holding back this long, is it?"

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

"I wore light magic to offset the poison. But I almost ran out of magic while I was fighting the demon.

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

"So that's why I showed up. ......"

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

　Just in time.

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

Did you defeat that demon?

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

"No, I beat him up and fought him off for now, but he might come back."

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

"It was amazing. He was more devilish than the devil himself.

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

　Keira's voice, which sounded extremely excited, was secretly damaging.

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

　She is not as malicious as Nair and Ferrum, but she is a good blower. ......!

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

"He was so strong ......!"

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

"Uh ...... I'm used to dealing with people like that. Basically, my ability to affect the mind doesn't work."

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

"Heh, heh. ....... ......Eh, no, why?"

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

"It's a lot of things."

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

　Specifically, after being trained at the Lifeguard Corps, I was subjected to a series of triple-digit psychological attacks at Samaritan's Head.

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

　So I'm used to such attacks, so it probably won't affect me unless I'm in the Demon King class.

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

"...... I've killed two demons so far. The first one was a woman and the other one was Mialark. ......"

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

　...... Mialak?

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

"I see. So it was you who made Lapdo disappear. And you may have been the one who triggered the outburst of the systemic reinforcement?"

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

"...... because I had to strengthen my lineage to kill the demon. ......"

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

　The wound when I healed it was caused by the fact that I had annihilated one of the demons at that point.

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

　From what I've heard so far, it seems that she was forced to use the systemic reinforcement to kill the demon, not by her own will.

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

　...... I got used to it as I went through it more times, but it must have been hard for Shea who was just a normal girl.

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

"Usato put it there for me, didn't he?"

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 kind of slime that heals magic."

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

　...... Oh.

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

　A healing magic bullet wrapped in elasticity.

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

"You used it on me. ......"

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

"Thanks to that, I was able to heal my wounds. ...... Thank you so much."

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

　So you were healing wounds in a way you didn't intend.

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

　I didn't think they would use it, but I'm happy with the result.

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

"Usato-san, what is this healing magic slime?"

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

"Hmm?　Oh, this is it.

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

　He hands Keira, who tilts her head curiously, a healing bullet produced by his palm.

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

　The healing magic encased in the elastic bullet is soft like jelly and continues to release its healing magic effect.

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

"Usato-san, can you make a bigger version of this?"

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

"Just for the record, why?"

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

"I'll make it into a pillow."

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

　Is this a new product?

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

　I think there's a huge demand for a hugging pillow with healing magic effect, but there's a problem with the duration of elasticity.

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

I don't think that's going to be possible.

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

"So, if you have Usato-san sleep with you, it will have the same effect ......?"

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

"Keira?　Are you remotely influenced by your senpai?"

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

　I sensed something dangerous in that line, something reminiscent of senpai.

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

　You're kidding, right?　Wait a minute, isn't that a very serious line for a girl who has never had the love of her parents?

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

　I was at a loss for what to say to her.

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

　Keira, on the other hand, is playing with her healing bullet like a rice cake.

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

"......When I'm near Usato, the voice of the hero becomes quieter."

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 don't know,...... but I think it's because he won the Demon King."

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

　The Demon King has been defeated.

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

　The fact that we have his memories means that we are under the influence of his own emotions.

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

So you're okay now?

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

"...... yes. I don't know what will happen after that.

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

　The question is, what should we do with her, since she is under the influence of hisago's memories?

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

"The quickest way is to leave it to the Demon Lord, but ...... probably not, right?"

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

"......If she were to face the Demon Lord, he might try to kill her."

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

"Right. I can see that."

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

　Even if the urge is gone, it is impossible not to be affected by actually seeing the Demon Lord.

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

　In the first place, he's rounded up now, but before he was sealed up, he was a tyrant.

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

Then you must be Falga-sama.

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

"Master Farga?　...... Oh, that big dragon is still around?

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

"...... I thought they weren't publicly known."

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

　The word had spread among the important people of the kingdoms, but generally speaking, the existence of Lord Farga was still hidden.

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

　But I am sure that he will find a way to help us with hisago's memories.

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

"Special" is the word, but I have a broad face. ...... who can do something about your situation?　I can ...... introduce you to someone."

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

"...... what can I say ......"

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

"You're just involved. This case is one hundred percent ...... no, one hundred and twenty percent Hisago's fault."

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

　I know his situation.

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

　I know how he was treated.

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

　I can just barely tolerate the conclusion he came to and the ordeal imposed on him at this time.

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

　However, it is wrong to impose my misbehavior on her who had nothing to do with it and was living a peaceful life.

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

"...... No."

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

　Did he regret his actions in his later years and leave behind memories and light magic to kill the Demon King, and by extension, the Devil? ......?

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

　Was his will that weak?

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

　At least in the past memories shown to the Demon Lord, his resolve was out of the ordinary.

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

"Mr. Usato?"

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

"Usato?"

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

"...... we will leave here in the morning and meet up with the Kogas."

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

　Hisago's memories and magic are real.

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

　But something doesn't mesh.

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

　I can't believe he ...... would do such a half-baked thing.

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

　I'll have to ask the Demon King and Mr. Nagi, who know Mr. Hisago very well, to confirm this.

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

"I'm going to report to the Demon Lord now, Shea, and I want you to come with 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

"Okay."

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

　I put down the bowl I was carrying and stood up, putting my sleeves on my troupe uniform.

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

"Keira, please stay with Shea."

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

Where's Usato?

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

I'm going to check the back of the ruins.

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

　Maybe there are fragments of the Demon Lord's power here.

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

　If we know the demon is after it, we'd better make sure we retrieve it.

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

I'll go with you.

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

I don't feel safe on my own. I've always been alone. I'm worried about protecting you, Keira.

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

　For a moment, I wondered if I should show her a fragment of the Demon Lord's power, but considering Shea's position, it was natural for me to be concerned.

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

"Okay. Then let's go together. ...... Keira."

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

　Keira slips into her cloak of dark magic and moves to my shoulder.

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

　It didn't matter if we entered the ruins at night, since it was pitch-dark inside even during the day anyway.

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

"Well, I have light magic, so I can help..."

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

"Healing bullet."

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

　He throws a healing bullet that he created in his hand.

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

　The healing magic glows physically, though it has been used only as a distraction.

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

　After confirming that my feet are illuminated, I turn back to Shea while creating more healing bullets in my palm.

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

"This will illuminate my foothold and also serve as a landmark. It's called a healing guide.

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

"....... Is that the kind of magic that heals?"

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

　I'm drawn to it.

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

　Well, I'm just using it in a special way, so I'll clear up the misunderstanding later.

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

　For now, we must go deep into these ruins and find the fragment of the Demon Lord's power.
