　Amako and Nagi came to Verhazal.

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

　I was surprised that they arrived much earlier than expected, but I was convinced when I heard that Mr. Nagi had run with Amako on his back.

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

　With his physical ability, he could run faster than a normal horse, and he would be able to run through the forest with no obstacles.

"So, Usato, I'm sorry to rush into this, but can you tell me about this girl Shea?

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

　Nagi asked me this question as I left the training a little early and moved to my dormitory.

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

　Hanna-san had gone to inform the Demon Lord that Nagi-san and the others had arrived, and now that Keira had gone home and Veena-san had returned, the only people here were me, Nea, Nagi-san, and Amako.

"I told you in my letter that that girl is ...... Shea Garmio, the girl who was implanted with Mr. Hisago's memories and magic, didn't I?"

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

"To be honest, we don't know how much of Mr. Hisago's influence is in her. All we know is that she is unconsciously seeking the power of the Demon King and to get rid of demons.

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

　The way Shea speaks suggests that she is either unconsciously moving her body, or that another personality is moving her body.

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

　After I explained to some extent about Shea and the request I was asked by the Demon Lord, Nagi-san, who had been twisting her head in distress, suddenly changed the color of her eyes to purple.

"Usato, the other me wants to talk to you.

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

　It seems that he has switched to another Nagi's personality.

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

"...... Are you sure you're not lying to me or something?　You're too kind, if I do say so myself. It's possible that she's taking advantage of you and is bonding with you.

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

"I don't think so. I don't know for sure, but she was in enough pain to ask me for help."

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

"...... to ask you for help. I don't know what to say when you say it like that.

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

　Nagi-san, who had purple eyes, smiles at me as if he is troubled, perhaps remembering the battle at the ruins, and his eyes return to their original blue color.

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

　It is true that I am gullible, but I want to believe that Shea's words are not a lie when she asked me for help.

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

If I had been there when she asked for help, I might have found out something..."

What was Nair doing?

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

"She disguised herself as a cat and threw them into the forest, tricking them to find out what was going on. Oh, under orders from 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

　He told on me.

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

　I wonder how many times Amako and Mr. Nagi have pulled my leg in one day, even if it was necessary.

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

"I was here leading a search party into the demon territory. The Demon King and Koga asked me to do it.

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

"Maybe the people you just mentioned are ......"

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

"Yes. That's them. And Veena-san was the one who was trying to find out what was going on between me and the Demon Lord.

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

　Now that I think back on it, I don't think I was trying to hide at all.

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

　Veena was very conspicuous.

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

　Let's go back to .......

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

"It was just me and Keira who met Shea. The situation was a bit complicated at the time. ...... We were on our way to our destination for a request from the Demon Lord when we were attacked by demons."

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

"Were you okay?"

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

The demon. There were about eleven of us, including Mr. Earle, and we had to fight them, but we managed ...... to get through."

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

　If the other side had coordinated well with Mr. Ahl and the sisters of the dark wizard, we might have been unable to move around the place while defending ourselves, but if not, it was not particularly troublesome. ......

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

"I'm surprised that 11 people ...... survived."

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

"Hmph, if I concentrate on defense and evasion, I can be very stubborn. I'm confident I can run all day long."

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

"It must be a nightmare for them, that's for sure."

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

　In fact, Mr. Ahl was the only one who understood the situation.

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

　That's a man who knows Rose, the outsider.

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

　If only one of the demons had been able to make a calm decision, we might have been in serious trouble.

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

"So, we should go with Usato on this search, right?"

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

"Yes, that's right. It would be reassuring to have Nagi and Amako, who have precognition magic, with us, and perhaps she might be able to stabilize her condition if she could see Nagi with Shea.

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

"I know he's implanted with that guy's memories, so of course he's going to know about me, but I'm ...... a little nervous."

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

　I can understand Nagi's apprehension.

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

　You never know what will happen.

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

　Shea's condition may worsen, or nothing may happen.

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

Anyway, you can relax here until we leave.

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

"Yeah. Should we look for a place to stay?"

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

"Oh, I see... ...... we arrived earlier than planned, so we didn't get a chance to look."

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

　I might be able to ask the Demon Lord to prepare something for us, but I don't want to ask too much of him.

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

　Nagi-san might want to take a break, too, so ...... is a good idea.

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

Then, you can stay in this dormitory.

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

"Oh, is that okay?"

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

"No, there's a room available. Nah, you don't have a problem with that, do you?

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

No. Usato's right. There's plenty of room.

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

"Is Usato staying here too?"

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

"Well, it's close to the training grounds. Uh, but ......"

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

　So, the members staying at the dormitory would be me, Hannah, Nea, Nagi, and Amako, right?

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

　I recall this and turn to them, deciding on something.

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

I'll stay somewhere else.

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

　Amako, Nea, and Nagi's stunned voices overlap.

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

"But it's not common sense for me to stay at a place with four women, is it?

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

"Why are you talking about common sense, Usato?"

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

　I'm getting a lot of flak for this.

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

　He tilted his head and said something like that to me.

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

"You know, we have to keep up appearances and we don't want the people in the city to misunderstand us, do we?

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

"I think Usato has been perceived in a way that can never be undone."

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

"Well, it is certain that the human race is greatly misunderstood because of you.

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

　I don't know what you're talking about.

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

　Nair looks at me with a somewhat unconvinced expression on her cheek.

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

"Where else would you go? Is it with Aruk?"

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

"Are you here too, Aruk?"

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

"No, it's a good opportunity. I thought it's time to visit him.

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

"That guy?"

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

　It would be nice to go back to Mr. Aruk, but we have to do something about that guy who still hasn't gotten over his tardiness habit.

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

　With that in mind, I open my mouth to the three of them.

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

"Koga's house..."

●

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

"So, I've come to pay you a visit."

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

"No, why not? ......"

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

　The room where Korga lives, located in the center of the demon king city of Verhazal.

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

　I had come there with my luggage and dinner as a souvenir.

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

"That's too sudden. ......"

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

　When we were shown into the room and I explained the circumstances that had led us to this point, Koga made a blatantly disgusted face.

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

"I think it's time for you to get your act together as a captain," he said. I've come here to correct your tardiness as a first step.

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

"It's too much of an afterthought. ......"

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

"It's none of your business, but it's necessary, isn't it?　After Senri-sama and I go back to our country, are you going to live the same self-indulgent life you've been living so far?"

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

　Even if the Demon Lord's army disappears, the search party I led will remain.

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

　It will be led not by me but by Koga.

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

　Koga scratches his head in disgust at my point of view.

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

"I know that, but... I know, but it's hard to suddenly change what you've been doing, isn't it?

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

The same can be said for me, but you can't stay the same. ......, right?"

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

"......Well, I know that."

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

　My position has changed dramatically after the battle with the Demon King.

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

　I think that Coga needs to focus on other things than just fighting .......

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

"To be honest, the current environment is not as bad as I imagined. I get to fight with you on a regular basis."

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

What about Senri-sama?

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

He's like a tornado.

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

　Do you mean that in a positive way?

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

　The tone of his voice doesn't sound like he hates them.

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

"Well, I don't mind if you stay at ....... I heard this room was originally for two people anyway.

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

That's why there are two beds.

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

One of them is treated like a storage room, though.

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

　I looked around the room and saw that it was a bit large for a one-person room.

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

　The room is not so much furnished, but only the bare necessities such as a change of clothes.

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

　......Coga's hobby seems to be fighting, so he doesn't have much to put in his room, does he?

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

"There's nothing interesting in there.

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

"Hmm, sorry. On a different note, how about you come to the early morning training tomorrow?"

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

"You mean the one you fight with the old man every morning?　I haven't been able to go to training for some reason.

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

"Yes, yes."

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

　This man, after all, is unable to get up in the morning and does not come to the early morning training.

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

　I'm not forcing him to do so.

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

"Nero-san is coming tomorrow, and I heard that Nagi-san, who arrived today, is coming too.

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

"They look like they could destroy five or six countries in one night, don't they?

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

　If we only look at the strength of the group, there is no doubt that it is a tremendous group of people.

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

　Nero and Nagi alone are too powerful.

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

"......If that many people are going to be there, I'll have no choice but to join.

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

"Come or ......!"

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

"Oh, wake me up, if you have to."

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

"Try to wake yourself up first."

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

　You're just asking for help.

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

　...... Well, I hope it'll give you a chance to start thinking for yourself.

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

　I don't think you can suddenly fix your habit of being late.

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

Well, I'm getting hungry. Let's eat.

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

"Yes, I guess so. So, what do you usually eat?"

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

"Well, Senri's been making things for me lately."

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

　You've got a steady grip on my stomach.

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

　Maybe he doesn't even know he's doing it. ......?

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

I don't know.

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

　I've gotten good at waking up early since I was thrown into the lifeguard corps.

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

　I know firsthand what kind of hell I would experience if I overslept in the extreme environment of the early lifeguard corps, so I have inevitably become good at 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

　As soon as he wakes up, he gets out of bed and changes from his nightgown to his training clothes, and looks at the cogwheel.

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

　He is still asleep, as I should expect.

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

"Hey, Koga, wake up!

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

"Gooooooooooo ......"

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

It's morning. It's time for early morning training.

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

"Kaa......"

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

　I don't see the slightest sign of getting up.

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

　Well, it's no use. I've got a deal with him, so I'll wake him up a little.

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

　I place the miniature healing bombs I've created in my hand under my pillow and take about three steps away.

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

"3......2......1"

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

"Gboo!"

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

　A few seconds later, the miniature healing bomb explodes under the pillow, and Koga, blown away by the shockwave, lands on the floor.

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

"What the hell?　Did Senri finally attack me in my sleep?

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

　He smiles and greets Koga, whose hair is shaggy from the shockwave and who is looking around him sleepily.

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

"Good morning!　Good morning, Koga!　It's a nice morning!

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

"...... huh?　...... Oh, oh, oh, are you trying to wake me up?

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

　It's no use. He won't wake up when I call out to him.

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

　Besides, Koger had given his permission.

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

You're disturbing the neighbors!

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

"Don't worry. I made it so it'll pop silently. Go wash your face.

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

"Where the hell are you going, ......?"

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

　Coga heads toward the sink, letting out a morning sigh of melancholy.

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

　As I watch him go, ...... there is a knock at the door of my room.

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

"......?　This early in the morning?"

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

　Could it be .......

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

　Koga can't come out right now, so maybe I'll take his place.

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

　So I unlock the door and open it.

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

　As I had expected, Senri, the princess of the kingdom of Nirvarna, is standing in front of the door with a smile on her face.

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

"Good morning!　You finally woke up by yourself today!　This is also because of my efforts..."

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

"Ah, Senri-sama. Good morning. You're early.

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

"...... Usato?　Oh, that's ......?"

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

　She looks at me and is dismayed. Like Koga before her, she looks around and then checks the door once more.

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

"Senri? You're still as smart as ever, aren't you?"

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

　Koga, who has washed his face here, comes out still looking sleepy.　

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

　Seeing him, Senri-sama speaks to him with a trembling voice.

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

"Usato-san, what is this ......?"

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

"There's been a lot going on, so we've decided to come over here from the dormitories."

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

"Hey, listen, Senri. This guy woke me up from my sleep with a burst of healing magic."

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

I'm sorry.

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

"I was so surprised. ......"

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

　...... hmm?　Something is wrong with Senri-sama.

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

　Is it possible that he is angry with Senri-sama for taking away his job of waking up Koga?

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

"I'm sure of it now."

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

So you're my mortal enemy. ......!

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

"......, at least I know I'm misunderstood."

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

　You're starting to sound just like the previous coggers.

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

　But I understand that I have been misunderstood.

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

　At any rate, let's clear up the misunderstanding of Senri-sama, whose eyes have begun to glaze over.
