　After two weeks of searching, we returned to Verhazal.

　We were welcomed by the people of the city and temporarily disbanded, and I headed with Koga to the former Demon King's castle ......, or mansion, where the Demon King was.

　I was prepared to be reprimanded at least a little, so I was a little nervous when I reported to the Demon King about what had happened in the Demon Realm..,

"Are you trying to laugh me to death, by any chance?"

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

　The exact opposite of the reaction I had expected came.

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

　The Demon Lord laughed in a wicked way for a while, and then opened his mouth to me and Koga, leaning his back against the backrest of the chair.

"It doesn't matter that my power has been taken away from me. From what I've heard, it sounds like you've used up most of the magic in your body. I won't be able to use it properly for a while.

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

"Will you be able to use it again in a while?"

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

"It will take some time.

　It's true that the fragment of the Demon King's power was almost losing its power after he kept on using his magic to defeat Kayla.

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

　In the sense of neutralizing it, the mission may have been accomplished.

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

"...... but even if the power is depleted, it could be used as a receptacle (...). We have to think about that possibility."

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

"What kind of ...... is that?"

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

"It is possible that the enemy's plan was to overthrow the demons that you have run amok."

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

　That's not impossible. .......

　Kayla was mentally deranged and it would not be surprising if she had some kind of mental attack on Shea.

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

　...... though it is a possibility that I don't like to think about.

"The very existence of a mixed blood between a demon tribe and an elf tribe with dark magic is surprising. Perhaps the persecuted demons with dark magic fled to the realm of demons, and finally coexisted with elves living in the depths of the forest. And what did you do with her?

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

"....... I made her become a little lion and we fought together."

"Korga."

"Don't lie to me, Usato. You were flying around with the acceleration of exploding flames of dark magic.

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

　He grunts at Koga, who corrects him on the side.

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

　Ciel, the Demon King's lady-in-waiting, hears his correction and speaks to the Demon King in a low voice.

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

"Master, what do you mean by exploding flames and accelerating?　I don't understand it at all. ......"

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

"Ciel. Ciel. Imagine. You hold a gunpowder in your hand and when it explodes, it blows up, right?　That's it."

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

　Ciel, how many times do I have to look at you like that?

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

"We should finally think about moving forward with our plan to entrust you with a dark wizard."

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

"You're kidding, right?"

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

It's becoming less of a joke. There are fewer people than before, but even now there are many who avoid dark wizards. We need an organization or a place for them.

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

　...... Eh, you really don't think this is a good idea?

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

　I'm a little impatient with the demon king who is thinking seriously.

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

"Anyway, it's a long way off for the time being. You still have too much work to do.

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

"...... I guess so."

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

　There is much work to be done.

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

　That's true.

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

"I'm going to change the subject again. ......"

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

　The Demon Lord's gaze turns to my right arm.

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

　Or more precisely, my lost cage hand.

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

"They took your cage hand, too?　Someone as powerful as you?

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

"By strengthening the lineage of light magic, right?"

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

Then you're lucky it was just a cage.

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

　That's what I'm thinking right now.

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

　If it had been my healing magic or something more important that was taken from me, I would have been in trouble.

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

　It may be that I could not do it because of the incomplete reinforcement of the lineage of ...... shea.

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

"Does it hurt you to have your cage hand taken from you?"

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

No.

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

"Of course."

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

　The Demon King sits deep in his chair with a smile on his face, wondering what is so funny.

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

"The essence of the sacred dragon's armor is to promote the growth of its owner. Eventually, it will no longer be needed and will merely be a convenient weapon.

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

"I'm sure Master Falga will be very angry if he hears this ......"

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

"He'd rather laugh. It proves that humans can go on their own without relying on the power of the divine dragon.

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

　That's one way to think about it.

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

　I wonder if Kazuki's baskets, Senpai's sword, and Leona's spear are the same thing.

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

　The power that will eventually be able to do things without armor---a kind of anticipation of possibilities.

"But if someone in Shea Garmio wanted your cage hand, he must have needed a weapon to assist his light magic.

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

"As far as I was concerned, I didn't think she was very good at what she did. It was as if she had been forced to activate ...... the lineage enhancement as well. ......"

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

"Shea Garmio itself is also incomplete, or should I say unfinished. I just hope the finished product is not as out of the ordinary as Hisago. ......"

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

　Shea's lineage enhancement remained incomplete.

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

　I still remember the sight of her bleeding from her injured arm due to the forced reinforcement.

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

"Can you pull off the entity that is controlling Shea?"

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

"It's hard to say at this point."

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

　The Demon Lord answers my question.

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

"Even I cannot unconditionally pull off something that has possessed me. The first step is to catch it.

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

"...... understand."

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

　Should we have caught Shea then, even if we were a little pushy ......?

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

　No, we could have let her die.

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

　We shouldn't think only of ...... what-ifs.

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

"We'll check the details again in the report.

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

Yes, sir.

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

"Hmm?　No, I'll leave the reports to your assistant Hannah. Didn't you hear?"

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

　I didn't think so.

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

　That's very kind of you to say, but you could have at least said something to her.

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

"But I'm sure Koga and I can at least write a report for you. ......?"

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

"No, I'm not good at writing reports."

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

　I can only wonder how you were able to be the commander of the second corps. ......?

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

　Maybe you left it to your subordinates......?

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

"You guys should get some rest. Especially Usato, I know you're tired, even if you're only feeling well with your healing magic."

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

"...... understand?"

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

Do you know who I am?

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

　It's the Demon King, isn't it?

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

　He's right. I'm pretty tired too.

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

　I took a rest during the search, but I hardly had time to rest my mind. Besides, I was surely nervous as the second in command.

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

"At ......, I'll take a break from your kindness."

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

"Mm."

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

　Let's use Mr. Aruk's quarters today.

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

　I don't want to intrude on Koga's room.

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

　...... But first, I had a favor to ask the Demon King.

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

I have a favor to ask you.

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 need you to prepare a coffin for the recovered body. ......"

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

　I'll have to get confirmation of this.

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

　I'm sorry to keep you in Keira's cloak forever, and I have to prepare a place to put Mr. Ahl's colleagues until we return to the Lingle Kingdom.

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

Then we'll make the arrangements ourselves.

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

　Understanding the situation, the Demon King passed the message on to Ciel-san.

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

　After a few more confirmations, Coga and I left the office of the Demon Lord.

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

The Demon King's office.

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

　When I left the house of the Demon Lord, I found Keira, Amako, Nea ......, and Senri at the entrance.

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

　They probably heard that we had left and literally flew in.

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

　As soon as she saw Koga, she jumped on him with a big smile on her face.

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

"Mr. Kohga!"

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

"Look out, Mr. Koga!　Guard the healer!

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

"Usato!　Hey!

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

　He immediately grabs Koga's shoulders as he tries to escape and moves him into the path of Senri-sama's pounce.

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

　I watch him as he is embraced by her, and I approach Amako and the others.

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

"I'm sorry. Sorry I kept you waiting."

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

"No, it's okay."

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

Where are Nagi and the others?

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

They took their luggage to the dormitory first. I waited here for Usato.

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

　I guess they unloaded the usual stuff from Keira's cape first.

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

　It must have been quite a lot, but with Nagi's strength, it should be a piece of cake.

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

So, how was your report to the demon king?

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

He laughed at us anyway.

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

"Of course."

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

"It would be funny if you didn't laugh."

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

　That's how Amaco and Nea reacted.

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

　Nair, who has transformed into an owl, is on his shoulder and speaks to Keira.

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

"Keira, the demon king has prepared a coffin for us, so let's put the body in it.

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

Yes. Yes, sir.

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

"...... sorry. I shouldn't have made you carry me."

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

　Even though he was given a special technique to make him look like a doll, he was still carrying a corpse.

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

　Keira does not look the least bit unhappy about this, on the contrary, she smiles and shakes her head.

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

"You have nothing to apologize for, Usato-san. I'm fine."

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

"You're strong, you know that?"

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

"You're really solid, aren't you, girl?"

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

"Heh heh."

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

　Amako patted Keira's head in admiration.

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

　Amako looks at her squinting her eyes pleasantly, and then turns her attention to Koga, who is being held by Senri-sama.

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

"Welcome back, Mr. Koga!　I, myself, have been waiting for your return for a day and a thousand years. ......!

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

It's only been a couple of weeks!

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

Aren't you married for making me wait?

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

"The punishment is too heavy for the crime. ......!"

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

　He's going full throttle.

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

　I laugh when I see Koga trying hard to pull Senri-sama, who is clinging to him, off of me.

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

"Welcome back, Usato-san!"

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

Yes, I'm back. Did something happen while we were gone?

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

　Well, if the Demon King is here... I know there's no big commotion...

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

"That's right. We assisted the demon tribe with the personnel dispatched from Lingle Nirvarna.

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

"I see. Perhaps you are too, Mr. Uluru?"

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

Yes. She also took the initiative in interacting with the demon people. She even made friends with them.

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

　You're a terrible communicator, ...... Uluru, to make friends with royalty like that.

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

　But I'm glad she's doing well too.

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

　We are going to stay at the dormitory where Mr. Aruk and the others are staying today, so we can hear a lot of stories from Uluru-san.

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

We have some things to do later. ......

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

"Hey, wait, Usato. Are you going to leave me in this situation?"

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

　Koga, with his arms firmly around Senri-sama, ...... hugs me and asks me for help.

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

　I could shake him off if I wanted to,...... but he's not that honest.

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

"Well, no,...... I can't do anything about it even if I intervene here,......."

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

"Stop acting like a sensible person only at times like this!　Do something weird like you always do!

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

　That's absurd.

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

　To be frank, if you interfere with Senri-sama and Koga, Senri-sama will usually get upset, and Koga will end up in trouble.

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

　So I left the place waving my hands to Koga and Senri-sama.
