　They probably weigh more than even those wyverns.

　What is it with these people?

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

"Well, let's call him Twin Hornbull from now on. Twin Hornbull for short.

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

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.

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

　As we did so, Usato-kun pulled out an iron stake from his cloak and stuck it into the ground as a marker for the next stage of our search.

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

　In parallel with this, I had to keep track of the terrain, so we inevitably had to move on foot.

"Hannah-san, would you like me to fly a little higher?"

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

　It's to see the demon's territory from the sky.

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

　I had to check the route ahead, see if there were any landmarks, and look for a safe route.

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

　On top of the wide open cloak, I put a notebook and a pen from my bag on my lap and start to take a picture of the view from the air and the rough topography of the area.

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

　Then Nair, who was standing on Usato's shoulder, peeked at my drawing.

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

　As if following his lead, Keira-chan came out of the cloak in which she was sitting.

"When I think of the time when the Demon King's army was defeated, I can't believe I'm in a place like this right now."

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

I honestly thought it would be worse.

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

　If the Demon Lord had been killed, the demon tribe would have been treated more harshly than it is now.

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

　Thanks to the fact that this did not happen, the demon tribe is better off than before, although they are still under control.

　Don't even think about it.

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

　My sister is gone.

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

　That is a fact that can never be changed.

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

"If we had a Demon King, the demon tribe would not be in a situation where they are oppressed. If necessary, I will let the Demon King treat me..."

"What is it that you have to do for the demon tribe?"

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

　He was flying in the sky, arms folded, his eyes fixed not on me but on the scene far ahead.

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

　Seeing this, I let out a sigh of exasperation and then chuckle.

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

"I was suddenly abused. ......"

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

　Physically and mentally ...... values are too different in every sense of the word.

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

　This is probably an anathema even without the otherworldly aspect.

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

　I mean, how can there be so many people like this out there?

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

"?　Usato-kun, what are you--"

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

　As if a cloak of dark magic had wrapped itself around my body, my body was swung around with tremendous force.

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

　The next moment I realize that Usato-kun has flown away, and my vision is filled with a flock of blue birds that I can't even begin to count.

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

What?　What is that ......?"

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

　They were all trying to hit us at once from the position they were flying in, right?

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

　The blue bird, which began circling in a whirling motion---a large bird demon similar in color to a hoo-bird---was constantly threatening us with a wild cry.

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

"Hoo bird?　No, it's a little different.

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

"Maybe it's a mutant. Maybe they've evolved to withstand the harsh environment?　Usato, they're turning on us.

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

"Yeah, ......, I know."

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

　I don't want to believe that such a burly and ferocious looking bird is a hoo-bird. ......!!!

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

"Uh-uh, Mr. Usato!　Why don't we go down to the ground?

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

"While we're down there, we'll be attacked again. It will attack us again, so it's better to deal with it once.

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

How can you be so calm?

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

　You are younger than me, aren't you?

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

　Usato-kun replies, looking around at the flock of blue birds similar to foo-birds hopping around in the air.

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

"It's more dangerous to be upset with a monster.

"Why am I bothered when you are right about me ......!!!"

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

　As Keira chides me, the demons attack again.

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

　He dodges it with a little time to spare, and talks to me with wind pressure that has made my hair a mess and the space between the top and bottom of my head blurred.

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

"Be careful, it's going to sway."

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

"Oh, it's shaking!　What's more shaky than this? ...... Kya?

　The cloak that is enveloping me deforms even more and is fastened to Usato-kun's back.

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

　On top of that, it transforms into a box-like shape that covers me from the wind pressure, creating a rectangular frame that I can barely see out of.

　Nair had cast a resistance spell on me, which may have helped a little, but it was still quite a shock.

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

　And then I realized.

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

　I realized why Usato had run away from Verhazal even though he was wearing a cloak that allowed him to fly.

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

　In his case, running on the ground is much easier than flying, which he is not accustomed to.

"You can never be too careful, even in the sky. This is a paradise for demons.

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

　There are no more demons around.

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

　I am tempted to take a little revenge, even if it's not your fault.

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

　I talk to him on my back, hanging limp, regardless of my acting.

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

"Usato-kun ......"

　I guess this is why people say I have a bad character.

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

　But even though I'm used to flying on a wyvern, I'd want to get even with him if he swung me up and down and left and right like that.

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

"Oh, yeah, let's get on the ground ...... right now!　We'll drop you off somewhere away from the squadron, can you hold out until then?"

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

　Well, just seeing Usato's panicked look was enough to make me feel better..,

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

"Ugh ......!!!"

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

　It was really heartbreaking to see the good intentions of the counter explode in such an unexpected way.

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

　I was only aiming at Usato-kun, and I didn't mean to cloud Keira's face. ......!!!
