　While Mr. Usato was stranded, I was taking Ms. Shea with me to the encampment where Mr. Koga and the others were.

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

　I was worried that I had left Usato alone.

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

　To be honest, I wanted to fight with him, but I knew that his intention was not to let Ms. Shea, who was acting strangely from my point of view, fight with him.

"...... Shea-san, I'm going to take a break."

"Hey, are you okay?"

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

Yes, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.

　I always flew alone, so it's a little tough to fly with one person in my arms.

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

　After making sure that I had flown a certain distance, I descended into the forest.

"This doesn't happen when Usato-san is using my magic. ......"

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

　Perhaps this is another characteristic of my dark magic.

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

　The power of the wearer is reflected to some extent in the cloak, so there are probably many differences between when Usato is using it and when I am using it.

"Usato, you're alone to stop me in my tracks ......."

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

I'm sure he'll pull through.

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

　It is not that he let us go at the drop of a hat, but that he decided it was the best thing to do, and so he took action.

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

　Even if there were many opponents, I am sure he would manage.

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

"I'll take a short break and fly back. I'm going to meet up with Koga and his ...... allies, and then I'm going to cover for Usato-san.

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

"Usato's friends."

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

　Shea-san frowns and puts his hand on his head.

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

　She reacted in the same way while flying ......, but I'm a little worried.

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

"I'm ...... worried."

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

"Si, Ms. Shea, ......?"

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

"I'm sorry. I'm a little dizzy from running into those guys. ......"

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

　I still don't know Ms. Shea very well.

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

　I know that she is in a difficult situation, but I have no idea what to do or what I should do for her.

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

"When you join us, there will be a healing magician just like Usato-san, so you will have to be patient until then. ......!"

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

　Uluru-san might be able to do something.

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

　But Shea-san kept her head held down and her voice sounded distressed.

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

"But, but there is also a sign of the devil in the direction we're heading ......."

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

"What!　Are you saying that they are anticipating us?

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

"No, no, those demons are still behind us. ......

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

　Could it be that he is under the same kind of mental influence as I was?

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

　The other Kannagi was mentally unstable because of the evil dragon. ......Shea also .......

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

　Anyway, maybe we should calm this guy down first.

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

"Breathe slowly, please. It's going to be 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

"I understand, because I've had a similar experience."

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

　I slowly approached her and rubbed her back as she cowered on her knees on the spot.

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

　Then, something like a glowing sphere rolls out from her bag on her shoulder.

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

　She notices it as I do and picks it up with shaking hands.

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

"Why did I take this ......?"

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

"Ms. Shea, that's ......."

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

　A warm glowing sphere.

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

　Inside it is a familiar black vortex.

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

　---I take out the crystal that Usato-san gave me earlier, which is said to contain the power of the Demon Lord, and compare it with the crystal.

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

　Although the vessel containing the crystal is different, the black power inside looks exactly the same.

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

"Could that be the Demon Lord's ......?"

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

"I don't know!　I don't know! He can't have such a thing!　Because this is..."

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

　Ms. Shea is clearly upset.

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

　She is not acting or lying, but showing her true confusion, which makes us wonder even more.

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

　I wonder if I should wait for ......Usato-san. .......

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

　I think it would be a very bad idea to take Shea and join her at this point. .......

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

"No, no, I'm not, I'm not ...... that, but ...... ah,ah,ah,ah,......"

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

　Stared at the sphere and stopped moving?

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

　She fell back, her voice trembling, as the light returned to her eyes, which for a moment seemed vacant, without voice.

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

"It was me. ......"

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 took this from the devil. ......?　How could I forget when I did it myself? ......?　Ha, ha?　Have I finally lost my mind?　I'm sick of it. ......"

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

　I have no idea what's going on, though.

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

　But the situation is similar to what happened with Mr. Kannagi.

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

　The other Mr. Kannagi, who had admonished me and invited me to the ruins, refused to talk to Mr. Usato, and then---after his incoherent behavior, I ended up fighting with him.

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

　Ms. Shea now is very close to the way Mr. Kannagi was distraught at that time.

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

"......I'm coming to you, right?"

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

　But that doesn't mean we should just leave him like this.

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

　I know this because I have experienced the same thing.

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

　It's very scary and painful to be alone.

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

Stay away from me!

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

Don't come any closer!

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

　As I try to walk up to him slowly, Shea-san stops me with a strong tone of voice.

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

　I stop in my tracks when I see her right hand trying to reach for the sword at her waist, but she forcibly restrains it with her own left hand.

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

"I'm sorry ......, I don't want to hurt you ......!　If I'm not careful, I'll try to take away his power that you have, even if it's by force. ......!!!"

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

　Because he has the Demon Lord's power, he's reacting......?

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

"I'm leaving. You need to get to a safe place as soon as possible. ......"

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

"What are you going to do about ......, Mr. Shea?"

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

"...... I don't know, but I'm leaving so I don't cause you guys any trouble."

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

　We can't just leave him like this.

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

　That's the only thing that's wrong.

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

　But I can't stop him. ...... but that doesn't mean I can't do anything.

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

"Ms. Shea."

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

"Before I do something to you, I'd like to ......"

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

"I'm not going to stop you, just give me a minute."

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

"Go to ......?"

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

　I look at the fragment of the Demon Lord's power that I took out to compare.

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

　I lightly grasp it trapped in the crystal, and as soon as I turn around, I throw it as hard as I can.

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

"Wha-YEAH!"

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

　At any rate, I throw the crystal containing the fragments of the demon king's power, which is poisonous to my eyes, out of sight and approach her.

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

　Shea-san looks at the flying crystal and my face alternately, puzzled.

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

"What?　What?　Huh?"

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

　I kneel down in front of her bewildered face, take out a spare food and water bottle from my cloak, and pack them into the large backpack I was told to carry beforehand.

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

"Take this with you. It contains food and water."

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

"So, but ......"

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

"I can't stop you. You are suffering and this is the least I can do for you. ......"

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

　I was hungry and my clothes were in tatters, if anything.

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

　The blankets and cloak I had with me in case of emergency ......I'd better pack everything I can, since I'll be going back to the city after this anyway.

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

"Thank you, Keira. I want you to tell ...... Usato that I'm sorry. ......"

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

"If you say goodbye like that, Usato-san will get angry, won't he?"

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

　She handed it to Shea as if she was pushing it to him.

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

　She took the backpack as if holding it with both hands and finally smiled at me.

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

"I'm sure Usato-san will come to your rescue."

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

"Don't give up. Maybe ...... no, he will never give up."

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

"......Thank you."

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

　Ms. Shea gets up and disappears deep into the forest with her backpack still in her arms.

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

　After seeing her off, I take a deep breath and pick up the crystal that contains the power of the Demon Lord, which I threw away earlier.

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

"Pull yourself together, I ......"

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

　I'm worried about you, Shea, but you did what you could.

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

　In fact, we could have done better, but ...... we'll reflect on that later.

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

"First we have to get together with Mr. Koga and the others!

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

　Maybe Usato-san is still fighting!

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

　Maybe ...... or even if he is, he might be in a pinch!

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

　In order to save him in such a situation, I have to join up with Mr. Koga and the others as soon as possible!

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

"As soon as I decide to do so..."

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

"Okay, I've caught up!"

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

"Aaaaahhhh!"

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

　Just as he is about to jump up, he screams when Mr. Usato bursts through the bushes from behind him.

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

　What, what, what, what?

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

Mr. Usato!　Who's after you?

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

Don't worry!　I'm sure they won't come after me now that I've blown them away with my healing magic!

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

Blow them away with healing magic?

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

　No, no, it's not strange for him to blow them away with his healing magic.

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

　The problem is that he is surrounded by 11 enemies and yet he is not injured.

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

　He was caught up with by a normal runner. ......When you think about it calmly, isn't it a terrible thing to do ......?

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

"It's not a fake ...... that the devil himself has disguised himself as. Yes, it can't be."

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

"Why were you immediately convinced ......?"

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

　No one but this person would have blown up an opponent with a healing spell.

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

　In that sense, Usato-san in front of you is definitely the real deal.

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

　But .......

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

"I think I understand how Amako and the others feel just a little bit."

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

"...... Huff."

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

"It's not funny, is it?"

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

　I didn't mean to blame him, but he apologized.

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

　I felt bad for Mr. Usato, who had become depressed, so I tried to cover up and change the subject.

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

"I'm glad you made it to the meeting anyway!

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

"I'm glad you're safe too. Shea was ...... not able to make it in time?

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

　Usato-san may have guessed it, but he looked serious when he didn't see Shea-san around.

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

　At any rate, I slipped into the cloak and attached myself to Ms. Usato, and I told her about the exchange I had just had with Ms. Shea.

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

"So she unconsciously had a fragment of the Demon King's power. ......"

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 guess we'll cancel the training."

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

　Usato, who had been listening silently while flying in the sky, muttered quietly.

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

"I'll go stop them as soon as they arrive. It's just before sunrise now. ......"
