　While Usato announced himself as a decoy and led the water tentacles, we entered the ruins that existed in the lake.

　I knew now that I should have gone with Usato who had healing magic, but I made the mistake of deciding to move out of the way of Usato who would have taken the role of decoy in that situation.

　--- The ruins of a city sunk in a lake where half of the city has sunk.

"You guys, check your luggage while you're at it. You never know what might happen from here on out, so make sure you know what you're carrying.

　As I watch, I look up at the entrance behind ...... us.

"The entrance was closed just as we entered, wasn't it?

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

"Yeah. It seems that whoever made this trap wants to keep us here."

　The entrance we entered is now blocked by a stone wall.

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

　We quickly switched on our torches so that it was not completely dark, but the ruins were much larger than we had expected, and it would take some time to explore them.

"Kannagi, can you break it?"

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

"Yes, I can. ...... but the ruins themselves might collapse with a bad impact. It is also possible that the water pressure will crush it due to the time difference, and it is dangerous to think with predictive magic.

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

　If so, the wall cannot be broken.

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

　It will be difficult to join up with Usato from here.

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

"Oooooh, we've gotten into a place that looks like that for the time being. But I got separated from Usato.

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

I'm sure he'll be fine.

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

"Yes, it is. I'm sure they're at the ruins by now.

"I'm afraid of the comments from you guys, who've probably known each other the longest."

　Nair and I both say things that make Koger's cheeks twitch.

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

　In fact, I don't think anything in that water is strong enough to catch Usato.　

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

"It's easy to forget, but Usato and I have a contract with a messenger. So if something should happen to him, I'll know right away.

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

"Oh, really? How is Usato now?

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

"Very well."

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

"I can only imagine what it's like. ......"

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

　If Nair says so, I'm relieved.

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

　I will definitely foresee a future in which Usato is in danger.

　While I was thinking this, Kannagi, who had been watching the surroundings, spoke to Koga.

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

Kåga. As soon as we get back on our feet, we should go on.

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

"Hmm?　Why?

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

"Perhaps we won't be able to join up with Usato even if we stay here. We have the same goal. If we continue onward to our destination, we may be able to meet up with Usato.

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

"...... Surely he might think the same way."

　Coga scratches his head in annoyance, his hand on his chin for a few seconds.

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

"Well, I'm not good at using my head like this, but let's go through these gloomy ruins first. Hannah's over there, and I'm sure Usato will be fine."

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

"Fuku...... captain!　I'm worried about Hannah because she has a rather fragile mentality!"

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

　One of his subordinates, Nono, points this out to Koga, and Koga shows a thoughtful expression.

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

"It certainly sounds like Hanna is going to have a hard time."

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

"......Yeah, it sounds like a lot of work."

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

"It seems to me that the two of you are referring to something else when you say 'hard work'. ......?"

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

　Kannagi looked a little taken aback and Nea and I nodded.

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

　No matter how much time we spend together, Usato always does things that we don't expect.

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

　It's hard to be pushed around by him,...... but on the other hand, we trust him to show us the way out of any situation.

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

He is a good man.

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

"......Ah, I'm soaking wet. ......"

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

　I dove into the lake but did not see where the cohorts had gone in, so I jumped into the hole I had found.

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

　I looked around a little and tried to find another entrance, but soon the hole I entered was blocked by a rock and I couldn't get out.

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

"...... it's dark."

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

　The healing bullet I created in my hand is pasted on the wall.

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

　The green light of the healing magic illuminates the passage, and he makes several more healing bullets and throws them to the end of the passage, making sure that he has a firm foothold.

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

"No response on healing sensing. I guess ...... can help."

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

　There are no enemies around.

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

　Checking them carefully, I take out Hannah and Rune, who are wrapped in dark magic behind my back.

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

　Hannah, still holding the unconscious Rune, gets off my back while crouching down.

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

"What, are we here ......?"

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

"Inside the ruins. We seem to be trapped.

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

No, why?

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

"Because I enjoy diving."

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

　The reply was a kick to the shin.

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

　Does the demon lady have a grudge against my shin?

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

"Calm down. It's just an augmented joke to make people laugh.

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

"It's a great joke if anyone but you say it, but if you say it, it doesn't seem like a joke. ......!!!"

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

"Do you really think I'm the one who says swimming is fun in this situation ......?"

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

　I'm shocked.

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

　And then Rune, who had been listening to the exchange between me and Hanna-san, wakes up.

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

"......, good morning. ......"

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

"Good morning. Would you like some snacks?"

　Hanna offers me some portable food from her own small bag without hesitation, and Keira tells me this with a wink of surprise.

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

　I think it's a bad idea to be a worse person than a senior in a limited situation.

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

　Well, I understand that she likes little kids, or rather, she likes children, so I don't feel that she is dangerous.

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

　I have mixed feelings about it, because I know Hannah's past, and I can understand how she feels about her sister and a young child.

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

　With a sigh, I sit down and kneel on the ground to meet Rune's gaze, who is munching on some portable food.

"...... Roone, I'm going to explain the situation now. I'm going to explain the situation to you now.

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 explain to her how we came to be in these ruins.

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

　I don't have time to go into detail because of the circumstances, but Roone nodded her head in understanding.

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

"Shea might be here, right?"

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

"We don't know that yet. I don't know yet, but I think it's very possible.

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

"That's all right. I'll follow you.

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

　Hannah's persistent poking at my side from behind bothers me, but I've decided what I'm going to do.

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

"Maybe Amako and the others are planning to join us as we proceed into the ruins, so let's go into the ruins and join the others."

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

"Yes, that's right. I think we should move forward.

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

　Nagi, Koga, and his men are more than enough to make up for the loss.

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

　And with Nair and Amako, we should be fine as long as we don't have to worry about anything else.

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

Let's get on with it. ...... but first..."

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

　I hand Rune the healing bullet I have created in my hand.

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

"Why are you giving me this?"

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

"It's a light. It's a light. It's to light up your feet.

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

"...... wow, it's so fuzzy. Here."

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

　Rune touches the healing bullet curiously.

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

　It will go away in time, but then you can give it to him again.

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

"Here you go, Keira and Hannah."

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

"It really comes in handy in the weirdest ways. Yeah, the user is like this, but the healing magic is warm ......."

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

　Please don't make me sound like a bad person: .......

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

　Keira seemed to want it for some reason, so I gave it to her.

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

　Now, when everyone has a light, I point ahead.

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

"You all have healing magic!　Let the search begin!"

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

"Oh."

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

"What is that strange motivation ......?"

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

　These four of us will join Amako and the others as we explore the ruins......!

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

　To do so, let's start by making our way through these ruins, which are shrouded in darkness!

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

"Indeed. It's a labyrinth inside, too.

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

　What in the world was this place built for?

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

　Throwing magic bullets and searching for enemies with my healing sense, I proceeded through the ruins and saw things like stone pillars and patterns carved on the walls.

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

"I'm sure that they belong to Rune-chan's ancestors,......, but I don't think the contents of the ruins are normal when they can build such a civilization in such a dangerous land.

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

"Are you saying that humans of my species might still be out there somewhere?"

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

"...... sorry. I can't say for sure that it's not possible. ...... is all I can say right now."

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

　Hanna apologizes to Roone, apologetically, as if she doesn't want to give him false hope.

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

"No need to apologize. It's not as if meeting the same species is going to change anything, they just look the same, but if that's all, I trust you guys more.

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

"Rune-chan: ......"

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

But you scare me a little bit.

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

　Oh, Hannah fell to her knees.

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

　I smile at her and radiate magic power forward, and I detect two reactions on my magic sensing.

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

　I control Hanna-san and Roone behind me with my hands.

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

"Usato-kun?"

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

"Shh. There's someone in there. There are two of them, and their healing magic doesn't work, so they may be corpses prepared by the demons.

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

"Well, I'll be right behind you to protect you."

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

　Isn't that too quick an answer?

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

"I think you could at least support me with illusion magic. ......"

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

"Oh, ...... but Usato-kun is immune to my illusion magic, so I can usually get you involved. I'll leave it to you then!"

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

　Is it possible to be so happy to be declared to be attacked in the back by an ally......?

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

　Well, Hannah's illusion magic is so powerful that she will support us if the battle is going to be prolonged, we approach the place where the reaction is.

"......mu"

　We emerged into a fairly large space.

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

　It seems to be a passageway wider than the previous one, and we see someone loitering on the wall at the end of it.

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

　I cast a healing spell in my hand and illuminated it, and there it was...,

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

"Gee, Usato-kun ......?

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

"Mr. Ahl?

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

　I saw Mr. Ahl's cheeks scrunch up when he saw me, and one of the twins, a dark wizard who had attacked me a while ago and had been able to revive my corpse, was holding the hem of her dress.

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

"Oh, my gosh, it's you, Usato-kun! What a coincidence!"

"......"

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

　A strange silence pervades the darkened ruins.

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

　It is an unexpected situation, but considering what has happened so far and what has brought us to this point in our lives, letting her go is not an option.

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

"Rune."

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

"...... enemy, huh?"

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

　As soon as I emit my magic, Lune is also cloaked in dark magic.

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

　She was enveloped in black flames and transformed into an animal resembling a panther, and at the same time, she jumped at the dark magician's child next to Mr. Ahl.

"Your sister was attacked by a monster I don't understand!

I'm the one you're fighting!

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

"What?　That's right!　I've been attacked many times!

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

　He immediately unleashed a healing flying fist, which Mr. Ahl absorbed with shock magic.

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

　In the meantime, he approaches at once, and he wields his healing magic in both hands.

　Even though I was upset, Mr. Ahl blocked my fist with the sword in the scabbard he had drawn from his waist.

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

　With each swing of his arms, he creates a magic bullet and sends it flying with the force of his fists as we exchange blows.

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

"So, please listen to me for a minute!"

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

"...... story?"

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

　The opponent is only blocking the attack and doesn't seem to have any intention of drawing his sword, so I pull my fist back and move away from him.

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

　Mr. Aur, who looked relieved when he saw me pull away, then looked puzzled when he saw the healing magic bullets with a pale green light attached to his arms, shoulders, and flanks.

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

What?　Why are you giving me magic bullets?"

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

"Don't worry. I haven't attached the explosive bullet yet. I just wanted to talk to you before I get serious with you.

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

　As it is, it is nothing more than an ordinary ball of weak healing magic.

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

　However, if the battle resumes as it is, the next attack will be a combination of explosive bombs and system reinforcement.

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

"...... This is an ordinary magic bullet, isn't it?"

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

Yes. It's a normal magic bullet?

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

"I don't know. My intuition tells me that this is dangerous.

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

　Did you subconsciously realize the danger of that healing magic bullet?

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

　......That's the man who was appointed second-in-command of Rose.

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

　His ability to sense danger is reminiscent of Rose's psychic "intuition.

　Mr. Ahl has no animosity toward us.

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

　...... No, he hasn't been hostile to us for a long time, but I don't think he intends to fight us here.

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

　And one of the twin dark wizards that Rune is seizing doesn't seem to have put up any resistance either.

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
