　Shea took the power of the Demon Lord with her, and she herself was possessed by someone and disappeared with Lune by means of a transfer spell.

　Although we were able to recover the corpses of the other six except for Mr. Ahl, ...... she was also taken away from them.

　The result of the case was not so good.

"...... Usato, you can eat now."

"Hmm, thank you."

　We were resting around a campfire in a place surrounded by stone buildings.

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

　We used a lot of magic today. .......

　We look at the scenery around us, munching on a grilled fish on a wooden skewer that Amaco gave us.

"A city in decay, huh?"

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

　The place where we escaped from the ruins is a different town from the one we entered.

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

　It was a bit smaller than the city, but it was larger, and above all, there was a large building like the cathedral that used to be the exit of the labyrinth.

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

　However, the city was surrounded by a deep forest, and its structure was somewhat reminiscent of Hinomoto.

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

　We escaped to such a place and soon met up with Amako and the others who were waiting near the exit, and set up camp tents in the city to take a rest.

"It's been a really hard day, hasn't it?

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

"Yeah, totally."

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

　Amaco, sitting next to him, replies.

　Korga, my men are resting in the camp tent, and Keira, by my side, is sleeping wrapped in a cloak, holding Neah in her owlish state.

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

Keira must be very tired.

"I made you do something reckless. She really saved my life.

　Bullyn is now sleeping in the back where Amaco and I have our backs to him.

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

　The only ones awake now are me, Amako, and Mr. Nagi, who is sitting across the fire from us.

"What you said earlier, is this ...... shea person conscious?"

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

"I can only speculate, but I think she is conscious."

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

　The being that possesses Shea is of a very cautious nature, and is also good at bargaining to a certain extent.

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

　It is hard to believe that she would be able to wipe out Shea's spirit so easily, which would have a hostage effect on me and Mr. Nagi.

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

I agree with Usato.

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

　Mr. Nagi, sitting in front of me across the fire, agrees.

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

"The people who haunt Shea Garmio are very calculating. I think they are quite troublesome when they have not even let the Demon King and Falga-sama be aware of their existence until now."

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

"...... You seemed to know Ms. Nagi."

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

"At least I don't know her."

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

"Is that Shea's personality, Mr. Hisago?"

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

　Ms. Nagi casts her eyes down in response to my question.

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

　I don't want to doubt Mr. Hisago, who is a benefactor to her, but the situation is such that I must be sure of this.

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

　We only know about Mr. Hisago by the power of the Demon King, and that is only one aspect.

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

He was a brave man, after all.

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

　After a short silence, Mr. Nagi opened his mouth.

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

"He was blunt and sometimes I didn't know what he was thinking, but he never overlooked anyone in need and ...... above all, he would never take an innocent person hostage. And ......."

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

　Mr. Nagi pressed his forehead as he spoke.

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

　He looks as if he is in agony.

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

"To be honest, I don't want to think that a guy who takes over a girl's body is a hisago. ......"

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

"That's very earnest. ......"

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

"Just the thought of my father, who speaks in such a stilted manner, imitating the tone of a girl younger than me makes me want to cry. ......"

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

"Ah, haha ......"

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

　Nagi-san looks rather seriously depressed and I laugh at her.

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

　When she looked up, her eyes were tinged with a purple light.

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

"Shea's thing is not Hisago himself. I was right, generally speaking.

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

"...... the other Nagi?"

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

"Yeah. I just took over.

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

　She stood up with a start, revealing her other personality, and then she moved to sit down next to me in the vacant ...... seat as if nothing had happened.

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

"Hmm?"

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

"I'm just moving in closer to make it easier for you to talk to me. Don't worry about it."

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

"Oh, yeah. ......"

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

　You didn't mean anything by it.

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

　It's true, it was a little inconvenient to talk across the fire.

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

　I should have known.

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

"I was looking at him with the same view I share with Kannagi. Usato, he wasn't hostile toward you, but someone in ...... Shea was clearly hostile toward us."

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

"Hostility?"

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

Anger, murder, jealousy, you name it. If Kannagi had been beaten up by Hisago and turned on him, it's hard to imagine Hisago's personality turning on Kannagi with such bad feelings."

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

　If Mr. Nagi says so much, it is safe to assume that hisago's memories have not manifested themselves as his personality.

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

"Then, who is that ......?"

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

"I don't know that either. They seem to be withholding information. I think their intention is to confuse us by not revealing the core information.

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

"That's really nasty. ......"

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

　More cunning than the devil, huh?

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

　Perhaps we should be more suspicious of her every word.

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

"......, it's time to get back in character."

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

　Nagi-san closes her eyes as if she has finished talking, and falls down as if leaning against me, so I hurriedly support her shoulders.

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

　She shifts to a position where she rests her head on my shoulder, and after a few seconds she opens her eyes.

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

She opens her eyes after a few seconds.

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

"Are you all right?"

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

"No, no, no, no, it's nothing!

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

　Nagi-san wakes up with surprising speed, and I laugh.

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

　He is so reliable when he is fighting, but he looks his age in such a situation.

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

　Well, I guess I'm too young to say that.

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

Kannagi, you can't keep on like that, can you?

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

I know. I know, but ......!

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

　Nagi replied to Amako, holding her face with her hands.

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

　As I watch this exchange, I notice a presence approaching quietly.

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

"Veena-san, it's still too early for you to take your turn, isn't it?"

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

"It's too early for you to take over, Ms. Veena," I heard her saying, "I heard you cursing me and having a good time.

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

"Mr. Vina, you're not ready for your shift yet, are you?"

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

"Oh, what?　Did you just rewind time?

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

　The time has just rewound?" I avoid Mr. Veena's blurbs, whose engine is still running at full throttle, by using my skills trained by my senpai.

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

　I am pleased because I responded to her in a proper manner.

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

　A little ruthlessness is necessary for smooth conversation.

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

"Just as well, Veena-san, I'd like to hear your opinion."

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

"Well, I don't have the slightest idea, but ......"

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

　Well, I guess you're right.

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

　He seems to have some kind of a cooperative relationship with the devil since he entrusted Mr. Ahl and the others to him, but I don't think he's so naive as to show his tail there.

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

　While I was thinking that it could not be helped, Veena-san, who seemed to be in a panic for some reason, opened her mouth.

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

"Well, um, is it possible that the demon who gathered us together may have been in contact with this Shea guy behind the scenes, ...... or something?"

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

"That's pretty vague. When we were gathered, Veena was there too, wasn't she?　You didn't mind?"

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

　Veena looked away from me awkwardly.

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

"Even though we were gathered, I didn't care who gathered us. ......I honestly don't think anyone knew who gathered us, did they?"

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

"Usato, I understand your exclamation, but demons are such creatures. They really don't have any sense of camaraderie.

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

　I should have known that, but even looking at it again, I am more stunned than appalled at the sloppy gathering on the devil's side.

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

　Is it because they are immortal or is it because they live momentarily in a good or bad way? ......

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

"Rest assured. I was taught by you ...... and changed."

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

　Did you just try to say "spanking"?

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

　When I looked at Ms. Vina, who was acting suspiciously, she had a radiant smile on her face.

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

"I have learned to have compassion for others and to share joy with them. Now, the members of the corps are my one and only friends with whom I have shared many hardships and joys."

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

"Ms. Vina, ....... If you've changed so much, then I guess it's safe for me to go back to the Lingle Kingdom."

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

　I tilt my head to Veena, who stiffens." ?"

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

"Actually, I have evil feelings for everyone in my unit!　More so for you, Usato-san!

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

"I was a fool to look at you even for a moment. ......"

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

　I was rather serious about reviewing it. .......

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

　Well, I know that Veena has changed, as I was watching her training, so I won't say anything more.

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

"Are you going back to the Lingle Kingdom as soon as you get back to the Demon King's territory?"

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

"No, you will still have time to stay there for a few more days. Well, I'm sure I'll lose that time too with reports and all..."

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

　I'm depressed to report to the Demon King.

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

　We couldn't recover the power of the Demon Lord, and we couldn't rescue Shea either.

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

　The only good thing is that the search for the demon realm, which is our main goal, is going to be successful.

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

"Just because there is a civilization, it means there is an environment where people can live. Maybe there are people like Rune who live deep in the forest. It's not my job to find out, though. ......

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

　I have only made a signpost, and the rest will be left to the people in the demon king's domain.

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

　That would be the job of Koga, Amira, and Nero.

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

Kannagi and I will return with you to the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

"Are you and Mr. Kanoko done?"

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

"Yes. I know you're fine, and they sent me and Kannagi away too.

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

　I looked at Nagi and she nodded with a wry smile.

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

　When I have more time, I would like to go to Hinomoto again too.

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

"...... and I'll have to bring the bodies back to the Lingle Kingdom."

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

　The bodies of six people except Mr. Ahl.

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

　Their bodies, which had been treated in some way in the course of their magical work, existed like dolls, in their original form, undecayed and undecaying.

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

　They're being kept in Keira's cloak for now, but I'll have to take them out as soon as we get back to the demon king's territory.

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

"Huh. ......"

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

　He looks at his right hand.

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

　It's a cage hand now.

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

　I look at the bonfire, accepting the fact that I have lost the key to my defense.

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

"...... I have something to do, too."

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

"Hmm?　What should we do ......?"

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

"Now that I've lost my cage hand, I should really try to find a way to fight without it."

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

　It's not that he has supported my fight since Mialak until today.

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

　Even though I am not aware of it, the fact that I lost my cage hand will create many obstacles.

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

　For that reason, I will look back at my fighting style once again.

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

"Elasticity

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

　Create a magic bullet with elasticity from the palm.

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

　Then, I stretch the magic bullet to cover my forearm.

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

　To the naked eye, it looks as if a green film of healing magic is covering his right arm, but when he puts his hand close to the campfire ...... to test it, no heat is felt.

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

"Usato, what is it?"

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

A replacement for your lost cage hand. I call it a healing coating.

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

　What are you trying to say, Amako, Mr. Nagi?

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

"Wow, you have excellent taste. It's my kind of devastating!"

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

　Veena praises my work, but for some reason I don't feel like I'm being praised.

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

　This is just a hastily made thing.

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

　It is not as strong as a basket hand, and with the whole arm covered, it is impossible to create magic bullets from the hand.

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

　Instead, I just came up with ...... which can stick to the opponent or stick to the wall in response to a blow.

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

　I'll make do with this for the time being.

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

"Okay, I've decided. When I get back to the Ringle Kingdom--"

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

"When I get back?"

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

　I've been vaguely using magic for a while now, and I've never had any trouble with it.

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

　But now that I'm going to use this new technique of magic, I have to look at myself more closely.

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

I'm going to go see Mr. Welshy again to learn how to use magic.

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

"I feel sorry for Mr. Welsey, so don't do this to him: ......"

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

　Why stop when you're just going to get a lesson: ......?

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

　I have to go there because I have been summoned to learn about the application of magic.
