　The day at the lifeguard station starts early.

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

　I get up just as the sun comes up, change into the training clothes provided and leave my room after getting ready for the day.

　I like the lifeguard uniforms because they look like jerseys and are easy to move around in.

　When I lived in the castle, there was a bit of a formal atmosphere, and I personally don't mind dressing like this.

　Besides, in the original world, people would have looked at me with disapproval if I wore this kind of clothes.

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

　I stand in front of the door of the next room...,

　Then, "Boom!　something falls off the bed, followed by a noisy sound, and the door is opened with a bang.

"Shut up!　You wake me up every morning with your loud voice!　Suzune!

　The one who is still in his nightclothes, revealing his anger, is Ferrum, a senior member of the rescue team and a demon who once fought against us as an enemy.

"Nair asked me to do this for you!　Come on, it's time for early morning training!　Let's work hard for another day!

　But if I don't wake her up now, she'll be the one who gets scolded.

　Let's be determined and go to the daily training---in other words, to the running session, which is the beginning of the day.

The first day of the training

　At the Lifeguard Corps, breakfast and lunch are served on a voluntary basis, and dinner is served at a group meeting.

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

　Well, I heard that there is no particular arrangement for this except for dinner, so I made a simple breakfast and ate it with Ferrum at our new accommodation after the early morning training.

"Hey."

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

　I'm drinking a cup of milk, and Ferm, who is eating a piece of bread with a fried egg on it, gives me a cute, anguished look.

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

"You know what's been the most annoying thing about ...... this past month?"

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

"That I've been eating breakfast for nothing."

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

　Is it a tsundere?

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

"Hmph, Ferrum. I can do most things, despite what I look like."

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

"...... annoyingly true, but don't tell yourself that ......!"

　As for cooking, if you had to choose between being good at it and not being good at it, I'd say I'm good at it.

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

　I was hoping to have a chance to serve Usato-kun my cooking when I joined the rescue team, but he was soon dispatched to the Demon Lord's territory.

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

"It's been a month since Usato-kun left for the Demon Lord's territory..."

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

　Dispatch to the demon king's territory.

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

　Considering his position, it is not strange that he himself is going there, but I am worried that he might be involved in some kind of trouble ...... again.

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

"The letter you received the other day said something about training demons, didn't it?"

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

"Yes. Usato, you seem to be working very hard.

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

"I think you mean 'make them work harder' rather than 'work harder.　I'm pretty sure he's doing something worse than what he's saying.

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

　The letter that came roughly half a month ago said that he had been assigned to lead the troops to investigate the demon territory. I was glad to see that he was still working as a member of the Rescue Mission despite the drastic changes in the environment around him, and if anything, I regretted not being there.

"I'm glad to see that Keira's magic seems to be stable ......"

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

"Keira, you were like an apprentice to me, too."

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

"...... well."

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

"And she's my sister."

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

That's not true.

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

　He denies it with a resounding "no".

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

　However, since he is working with her for some reason or another, it is becoming more and more realistic that Usato-kun is favored by the dark wizard.

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

　I have a feeling that another strong enemy will appear. .......

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

"No daytime training today, right?"

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

"Yes, we do. That's what Rose said.

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

　He nodded at Ferrum's question.

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

　Even the lifeguard squads do not train rigorously every day, and they do have their holidays.

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

　Although it is said that Usato sometimes does not mind training. .......

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

"So, do you want to go check on Nack?"

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

"Yes, you should go by yourself. I'll be in my quarters."

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

"I'm going out for lunch, is that okay?"

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

"...... ugg."

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

　It's almost as if he has Ferm's stomach in his grasp. ......!

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

　He turns away as if he is unfaithful to me, but I can't stop smiling at him.

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

"Well, we'll go to the clinic with Nack in a little while."

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

"...... huh, no choice. I'll at least check on him and see if he's doing okay."

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

　Oops, I'm earning another tsundere.

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

　Ferrum is kind of a cheater, too.

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

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

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

　After leaving the inn to the town, Ferme and I go to the clinic where Olga, a healer other than Usato and Rose, is.

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

　There is another healer, Uluru, but she and Usato have been sent to the Demon Lord's territory, so Nack is helping out at the clinic in her place.

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

　He has grown up a lot since he first learned of Nack's existence at .......

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

　I don't need to tell you who he resembles in his single-minded ambition.

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

"Oh, Suzune!　Mr. Ferrum!　Good morning!

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

Good morning, Nack. I see your help is going well.

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

　When I arrived at the clinic, I found that Nack had opened the door just in time for the clinic to be open.

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

　He notices me and Ferrum and greets us cheerfully.

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

"I have a lot to learn, but I'm having fun!

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

"That's good to hear. I'm glad to hear that. I thought I'd check in on you since you're not in training today.

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

I'm just here for lunch.

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

　Ferrum looks mortified, but Nack seems to have gotten used to such reactions.

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

　As we were enjoying our moment of silence, a familiar figure approached us at the door of the clinic.

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

"Oh, Suzune-sama?"

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

"Wellsy?"

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

　Welshy, a woman in a familiar robe, light blue hair and glasses, looked surprised.

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

　What was she doing here, a wizard in the kingdom's service?

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

　She's always in a robe, even though she's a private ...... .......

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

"What can I do for you at the infirmary, Suzune-sama?"

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

"I came to check on the girl. ...... Is something wrong with Welshy?"

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

Well, ...... she's a little overworked.

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

　Overwork?

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

　I am well aware that Mr. Welshy is very busy, but I was surprised to hear that he takes a lot of time off.

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

"I've been working a lot lately. ...... I told him I was still fine, but he told my staff to head to the clinic. ......"

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

Is something wrong?

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

"Yes. Not so much a commotion...... as a fuss,...... no, but from the magic system's point of view it's kind of a big deal,...... well, I mean you, Usato."

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

""""...... uh"""

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

　My, Ferrum's, and Nack's voices overlapped.

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

　I am sure that at the same point, the first silence was also a reflection of the same thought.

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

"Usato-san, I heard that you have acquired the skill of systemic degradation in the Demon Lord's domain. This is something that really, really overturns conventional wisdom. ......"

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

"Lineage degradation?　Is that what it is?　Is it the opposite of "strain enhancement?"

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

"Yes. ....... But the trouble is that it's not simply the opposite of technology.

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

　Wellsey let out a weary sigh.

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

　The system degraded ...... by turning the magic around?

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

"Hmmm, maybe Usato-kun thought of it to reduce the consumption of magic power?"

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

"!　That's right. By diluting the characteristics of magic power, the consumption of magic power can be suppressed, which seems to be the reason why Usato-san came up with the idea of strain degradation.

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

"It's that easy. ......"

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

　Welshy looks away at Ferrum's dismayed mutterings.

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

"Even for us, the technology of magic sensing is unknown. We have to investigate them and record them, but the important thing is that Usato-san is already discovering new technologies at an incredible rate, so it's not easy. ......

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

"Well, you're Usato."

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

"Well, it's Usato, after all."

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

"And you're Mr. Usato."

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

"That makes sense to me, and I to him, but I wonder how many unusual things he usually does. ......"

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

　"I don't know what I'm going to do."

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

　That is Usato-kun's greatest weapon.

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

"For that reason, I thought I would visit Ms. Olga while I was getting medical treatment."

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

"Oh, you mean Olga-san's healing magic?"

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

　Welshy nodded at the sound of Nack's voice.

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

"Yes, I thought it would be helpful to talk with a man who was born with a high concentration of magical properties.

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

"If that's the case, I'll show you right away!　What about Suzune-san and Ferrum-san?"

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

"No, we don't want to bother them. No, I don't want to bother them. I've seen how well you're doing and I'm going to have lunch with them.

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

　That was the plan all along.

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

　After seeing Welshy off as he and Nack walk into the clinic, Ferrum and I start walking through the city again.

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

"He's still doing crazy things, isn't he?"

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

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about."

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

"I hope by the time they come back here, they don't come back with more weird tricks or more members. ......"

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

　No, I'm afraid that's a normal possibility.

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

　Mainly because of Welshy's heartache and our sense of urgency.
