　The room I had used only when I first arrived here seemed to be still available, so I put my luggage down there, change my clothes, and go downstairs to the living room where Uluru-san is.

"It's been hard work here, though. Uluru-san, your energy is as great as Suzune-san's."

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

"Ha ha ha."

　Mr. Uluru isn't exactly a lifeguard.

"It's been a long journey, hasn't it?

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

"You must be pretty tired to be that tired."

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 I put my hand on my cheek, Uluru-san puts his finger on my chin, smiling wryly.

"I can see why Ms. Olga is so uptight about you."

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

　If you think about it, you're right.

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

　She sees more patients than I do.

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

"Don't be too rash, okay?　I know you pass out all the time."

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 don't know, it's a rare way to be scolded, so it's normal to feel it.

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

　Let's be honest and reflect.

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

　It's true that I'm being reckless.

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

I'll rest for a while. Even the Demon King told me so.

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

"Did the Demon King tell you that too ......?"

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

　Mr. Krumia looks surprised.

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

　The image of the Demon King in the general public is a scary one.

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

"Sorry to keep you waiting.

　And here, Mr. Aruk brings us some food.

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

　Stew with meat and vegetables, salad, and other dishes that we have grown accustomed to from the time when he gave us the letter are lined up on the table.

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

　......I wonder if I should have invited Amako and the others?

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

　Hanna and Nea are cooking dinner over there.

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

"Your cooking is delicious, after all.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, it's worth the effort."

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

　Without this man, the journey to the letter would have been much darker.

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

　As I was tucking into the food with this in mind, Aruk-san, who was sitting opposite me, opened his mouth.

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

"It must have been hard for you to explore the realm of demons.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, that's already ....... But it was quite fun to see so many different kinds of demons."

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

"Are you a demon? ...... May I ask?"

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

"Yes, you may."

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

　I told him about the demons I had encountered in the realm of demons.

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

　Huberd and the venom monkey, and the giant sea dragon I encountered in the ruins.

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

　As I explained the details of my mission, Mr. Krumeier, who was interested in my story, crossed his arms in admiration.

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

"A huge demon?"

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

"It was about the size of an evil dragon. Perhaps that was the one called Nushi.

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

"How did you fight them off?"

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 know I'll get a lot of flak if I say that I flew through the air like a jet plane and fired magic bullets like a missile to scare ...... them off, so I'll just keep it vague.

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

"I frightened him a little and escaped while he was scared."

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

"...... I see."

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

"....... No, I don't see what you mean, do you, Mr. Aruk?　We've obviously just had a conversation."

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

　I thought I was muddying the waters, but Mr. Aruk guessed what I was saying. .......

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

　But I feel bad for that water dragon.

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

　I had no choice but to destroy its territory, and I got it into a fight with Kayla and knocked it out.

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

"Hoo Bird and Venom Monkey were so different from what we knew them to be."

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

"What do you mean?"

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

"They were more ferocious and bigger."

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

"Wait a minute, I don't want to imagine..."

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

　Huberd looks like a cute blue pigeon, so when Mr. Uluru hears this, he pulls in his cheeks.

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

"We also encountered a big bull demon, didn't we?"

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

"Wow, how big is it?"

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

"About three times as big as Bullein."

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

"HUGE!!!?"

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

　It's bigger than the size of a normal cow.

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

　But it's still small compared to the evil dragon.

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

"He didn't have a name, so we named him Twin Hornbill. Twinhornbull for short.

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

"Oh, I see."

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

"......I'm still on the same level as Suzune-san ......"

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

　I hear you, Mr. Krumeier.

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

　Mr. Krumeier waves his hand to the side in a panic as I look at him with a stern stare.

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

"Or, a demon that has adapted to its environment and grown in size, a demon that was thought to be extinct ......... I think Suzune-san would be in trouble if she knew about this..."

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

"Yes, I'm going to brag about it as soon as I get back to the Lingle Kingdom."

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

"Didn't I just say I was going to be in trouble ......?"

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

　You're going to regret this, but I'm going to tell you.

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

　If I ever get the chance to go to the realm of demons again, I'd even like to bring my senpai along.

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

　It would definitely be fun.

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

"Now that you have returned from your exploration of the realm of demons, will you be returning to lead the search party again, Usato-dono?"

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

"...... hmmm."

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

　I ponder Aruk's question for a moment.

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

　I don't think I need to be in charge of the troop anymore.

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

　I have taught them how to train, and I know they will continue to train even after I am gone.

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

We are leaving soon. I will give them some guidance at the end, but ...... I will leave the rest to Koga."

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

"Usato, are you sure you can trust him?　He's quite ......"

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

"He may be a bit of a rascal, but he'll get the job done. He is trying to change, just like the current demon kingdoms.

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

　Well, what can I say ...... I consider them friends.

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

　I don't know how they feel about it, and I'm not going to say it to their faces now.

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

"So I thought I would help you with your work until the day you return."

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

"Well, then, Usato, why don't you join us?"

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

"Together?" "Together with ...... what?"

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

　About security?

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

　Uluru-san smiles at me as I tilt my head.

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

"Helping the demon tribe!"

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

"Oh, you just said that."

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

　...... might be a good idea.

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

　My work here is almost done.

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

　I still have a long way to go before I return to the Kingdom of Lingle, and more importantly, I've been training my men for the past month and haven't had much contact with the people of the city.

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

"I think people here have a pretty good impression of me. I'm probably just some weirdo running around town."

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

"I don't think he's anything more than weird, but I don't think he's wrong.

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

"It's not like the Lingle Kingdom, you know."

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

　I'm aware of that.

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

　I didn't go easy on him because of his training.

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

　It is not my intention to return home with the former soldiers of the Demon Lord's army being afraid of me, and the general public perceiving me as a strange person.

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

　In fact, I have not been able to change the impression that the soldiers had on me during the war, and in fact, it is getting worse.

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

So, why don't you try to appeal to the public and clear up the misunderstanding?"

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

"Well, Mr. Usato?　Isn't there any misunderstanding when you say appeal to humanity?

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

"Let me help you, ......!"

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

　We have to be serious if we're going to do this.

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

　There must be a lot of things to do here, where reconstruction has just started.

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

　Let's help, even if it's only a little.

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

"Hmph, I guess you could call it a traveling rescue squad, the handyman version of the town ......!

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

"This is going to be fun!"

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 nodded to Uluru.

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

　We've settled on a plan for our return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

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

　Now we have ...... or ...... more things to think about.

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

"Mr. Nero, huh?"

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

　Mr. Nero is deeply involved in the deaths of Rose's men.

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

　I wonder if I should tell him about them in their coffins. .......
