　After that hellish exercise, we ran straight back to the city in no time and were given a couple of days off.

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

　It seems that the intention was to take away the mental fatigue caused by the exercise, but it also seems that Usato and the others had other requirements for some reason, and right after we returned, he went to the central mansion where the Demon Lord was staying.

　The sense of loss and grief is extraordinary.

　I don't know how I can make up for this ......!

"That bastard ......!　How dare you cheat me!"

"It's getting rough. Mr. Elle."

　As I flap my legs on the bed, venting my anger at Usato, a fluent-looking Nono calls out to me.

"Aren't you frustrated?

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

"That Néa was disguised as Lin!

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

　I wonder why he's so fluent.

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

　Does he have nothing to say to the training that destroys his mentality and body without question?

"I have Sean, so it doesn't matter."

I was stupid to ask you!

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

　Yes, he was an idiot!

　His trust in his dragon buddy is sky-high.

　Veena is a pervert of the highest order, but Nono's a different kind of pervert.

"Aren't you worried about this group?

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

"If I said I have, would I ever get out of here?

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

　He gave me a blank stare when I asked him.

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

　I don't want to talk about this, even though I had asked him myself. .......

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

　Silence followed, and time passed for each of us.

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

"......He's tired, isn't he?"

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

　Suddenly, I remembered Usato's condition earlier.

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

　That monster of physical strength was unusually exhausted.

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

"Is that so?"

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

"It's hard to tell from the outside, but he is definitely exhausted.

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

　I assume that Koga knew about this and that it was requested by the Demon Lord, but that doesn't matter to me.

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

　All I can say for sure is that he was engaged in a battle with the demons.

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

　I'm sure of it because I heard him talking with Koger.

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

"Then we have the perfect surprise now."

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

"Excuse me, are you insane ......?"

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

　I think this is the first time Nono has ever abused me.

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

　I guess not.

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

　I don't think she'll recover so easily even after a day.

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

"Even if you succeeded in your ambush, what would you do?"

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

I'll feel better.

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

　For the first time, I feel like Nono is looking at me like I'm an idiot.

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

　But now I feel like I have to return the favor even if I do get that look.

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

　That's how furious I am.

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

"But wouldn't it have been easier for Nair, who was dressed as Lin, to do that?"

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

"...... that's impossible."

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

What? Why?

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

"Even though I was deceiving you, there is no way I could do such a terrible thing to Lin. ......!

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

I'm sorry, are you sick?

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

　Even if I had deceived her, Lin was the only thing that kept my mind sane for those ten days.

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

　There was no way I could do anything to her. ......!

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

　Nono, who had lost interest in my fierce struggle, gave a reasonable response.

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

"I don't think the exercise itself is so wrong, although it's a bit of a hardship," he said. It's a bit of a karma, but it's not that wrong."

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

"...... that's another thing that pisses me off."

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

　We licked the demon.

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

　We have lived in the land of the Demon Lords for so long that we have rarely had anything to do with demons.

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

　That's why we understood the threat of ferocious monsters and how to deal with them.

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

"If you think about it, there's no way we're going to have demons of the level that would appear in the realm of demons when we're doing the exercises in the territory of the Demon Lords. I lost my composure because of that first thing."

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

　I was so pissed off when Coga and I were thrown off the cliff together that I completely lost my cool.

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

　I was so pissed off when Koga and I were thrown off the cliff that I completely lost my cool. ...... Maybe that whole series of outlandish behavior was all because of that thing. ......?

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

"I didn't even expect to be made to fight a demon of my own creation. ....... Oh, this is really stupid."

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

"I didn't realize it until the last minute. It's unbelievable to think now that we were all scared of a monster that we didn't even know existed, and that we were being hunted down. ......"

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

　Usato can do anything.

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

　I think I had this preconceived notion based on my crazy training so far.

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

　Either way, we were all fooled.

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

"......So, where's Veena?"

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

"Oh?　She's not here. Where did she go?

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

　I look around the room and notice that Veena is not there.

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

　I thought that it was no wonder the room was quiet, but it was a little strange that she was not there at this time of night.

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

"Maybe she's wandering the streets at night ......?"

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

"No 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

　We both fall silent.

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

　Nono and I had the impression that the pervert could do anything he wanted, an impression that was in some ways different from Usato's.

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

"I'm going to ask for permission to go out and look for him ......"

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

"I'll help you too: ......"

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

　We can't let the fear of perverts be imprinted on the people living in a city that is now trying to make peace.

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

　Putting aside the question of getting back at Usato, Nono and I head for the nearby dormitory where Usato and his friends are staying to ask for permission to leave the premises.

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

"Veena is quite a mystery, isn't she?"

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

"That's right. To be honest, this is the first time we've met.

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

　We had such a conversation as we walked along the road at night.

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

　Veena is so strong that I wonder where she came from.

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

　She says she used to be a member of the 1st corps, but if she's such a weirdo, she should have at least heard rumors about her. ...... Maybe she's been wearing a cat?

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

"Well, I don't think ...... he's a bad guy. He is a pervert of the highest order.

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

"That's the biggest flaw when it comes to being a pervert. ......"

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

　But apart from that, he's basically an easy person to talk to.

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

　It's just the occasional ecstatic look or something that ruins it.

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

　If that were all, Nono and I would have kept our distance from him by now.

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

"...... you've got the lights on."

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

"Oh, that's just fine."

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

　The fact that the lights are on on the first floor of the dormitory indicates that someone is awake.

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

　Usato and the others may have already gone to bed, but we would be grateful if Hannah and the others would come out.

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

　At any rate, I raise my hand to knock..,

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

　I stop my hand from slapping it when I faintly hear such a voice.

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

　...... Is that Veena's voice?

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

What's going on, Elle?

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

"Shh, be quiet. I think Veena's here.

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

　Isn't it strange that Veena is here at this time of night?

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

　Maybe she has something important to tell us?

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

　......I know I shouldn't, but as a colleague I'm curious too, so let's take a quick peek.

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

I'll look in the window.

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

"Er, ......."

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

　I leave the door and walk along the wall of the building, approaching the window through which the light leaks out, and I ask Nono and I look inside.

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

　They see Usato, Nea, and Hannah at the table, and Veena facing ...... them.

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

<......What are the conditions? >>

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

　The atmosphere is heavy.

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

　Usato, looking somewhat wary, crosses his arms and looks at Vina with a slight hint of hostility.

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

　What the hell is going on?

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

　Did Veena make Usato angry?　No, I think you'd have to do something very wrong to simply piss him off in the first place. .......

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

　Then Veena gets out of her chair and sits down on the floor.

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

　As I tilted my head at her strange behavior, she put her hands on the floor and...,

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

　He uttered such a soulful voice.

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

　I thought I heard a phantom sound, as if the air was frozen.

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 witnessed Usato, who I had wanted to beat up so much earlier, looking more disgusted than ever.

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

　Seeing his face, I felt sorry for him, but his behavior was so bad that I almost felt sorry for him.

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

"Oh, yikes, ......."

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

　And then, I suddenly locked eyes with Usato, who turned his gaze toward me.

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

　Perhaps it was a punishment for our casual attempt to spy on him, or perhaps we got caught up in a terrible situation.
