　After talking with the demon king about what I was going to do and having him question my sanity for some reason, I returned to my lodgings, had breakfast, prepared myself, and headed for the training area where all the members of the team were.

　I had told Koga and the rest of the team to gather there in advance, so by the time I arrived, all the members of the team were already there.

"Okay, Koga is here too. Thank you very much, Senri-sama."

　I thanked Senri for his good mood and looked at Koga, who yawned and looked very sleepy. But I'm glad you came.

"So, what are you doing here with us?　Training?"

"No, I wanted to talk to you today."

"Yes. ......

"d*mn it, there's still so much you haven't told me. ......!"

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

　Kevin, Wal, and Sein are crying.

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

　It was awkward at first, but now they've become so close that they're sorry to say goodbye. .......

"Mr. Elle, these men ......"

"From my point of view, I think you two are pretty different too.

　They had grown up so much that they looked different from the others.

"I trained my heart out, but I never thought that ...... there would be six of us left in the end."

"Yeah, were you planning to have less at the beginning ......?"

"You didn't think you were going to lose Koga's men too? ......?"

　Koga and Senri-sama are whispering in the back, let's continue the conversation.

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

"From now on, you will work for this city under Koga. You will have a lot of work to do, from exploring the demon territory to rescue operations in case of emergencies."

Hah!""""

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

　I've trained my mind well.

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

　They will be able to overcome most obstacles.

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

"....... What, Usato?　What about me?"

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

　At this point, Ms. Vina steps out pointing to herself.

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

"This is the place, isn't it?　I'm an important demon in terms of my position, so you're going to take me back to the Lingle Kingdom, right?"

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

"Hu......"

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

　Smiling at her words, I reply.

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

"Ms. Vina. This is where you live, isn't it?"

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

"Hyun...... want you to take me there. ......"

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

　You can't take Ms. Veena with you.

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

　She's a demon, and I don't know what will happen when we bring her back to the Lingle Kingdom and let her meet with her senpai.

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

　If you're not careful, you might cause a terrible chemical reaction.

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

　I want her to stay in the demon king's territory in the first place.

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

"I'll leave you to the Demon Lord. ...... is just a pretext."

"Tatemae ......?"

"If you've changed the way you lived before you were sealed, you should try spending a little more time here freely."

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

　All the demons I've seen in my life don't consider their friends as friends, but Veena recognized everyone in the troop as proper friends.

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

　Her words and actions must have changed since before she was sealed.

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

"You like it, don't you?　Don't you like it here?

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

"That's ...... true, but..."

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

Then perhaps you shouldn't leave. If the Demon Lord decides that you are no longer a danger to him, you will be able to move more freely.

　As I spoke, Ms. Vina's gaze turned to the five members of the team.

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

　Elle crosses her arms and turns away from me.

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

"......There's someone scarier than the devil, so it's a little late for that, don't you think?"

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

"Mr. Elle, ......"

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

　The term "more frightening than the devil" struck me as odd, but they accepted it regardless of the fact that Ms. Vina was a devil.

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

"Well, that's that then, Koga, please."

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

"I've been forced into this mess. Well, I'll take it in my stride."

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

　I think that's fine, because it's more like a cog in the cogwheel.

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

　But I'm a little worried, so I'm going to ask Amira to be a little concerned about it.

"I've finished my mission to explore the demon territory, so I'll be leaving the leadership today.

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

What are you going to do until we get back?

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

I'm going to help out around town.

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

"......"

　Why do I have to be so subtle about it?

　What the hell do they think I do in the city?

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

I'm not...

　I told the others that I was stepping down from my leadership duties and left the place for the time being, and I immediately joined Uluru and the others to help out ...... in the city, helping out with security.

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

　The other participants besides Uluru and the others were Amako and Naea.

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

　Nagi was supposed to come too, but Nair told him not to come today because he would be too conspicuous, so it was just me, Nair and Amako in the owl state who joined us on the first day.

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

"Mr. Alc, Mr. Krumia. Please take good care of us today."

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

"It's nice to meet you, too."

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

"Nice to meet you, sir."

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

　The main purpose of the security is not to be so formal, but to look around the city and help anyone who is in trouble.

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

　Sometimes they ask for help in advance, but the general purpose of today is to go around the city and help people.

"Seeing this group of people reminds me of the trip to the letter office," he said.

"Burlin is sleeping in the stables, but ...... yes, he is."

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

　I nodded to Aruk's words.

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

　Uluru-san looks interested and moves to stand next to me.

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

"When you say you handed over the letter, you mean the trip you took to Samaritan and Mearaq, right?"

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

Yes. I think it was about ...... two or three months. It was a trip where a lot of things really happened. ......Krumia, you were with your seniors, weren't you?"

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

Yes, I feel the same way as you do, Mr. Usato.

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

　I was traveling with my senpai, of course.

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

　......The trip was hard, but the experiences and connections we made there live on today.

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

"What was the hardest part?"

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

"All of it."

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

"All of it?

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

　I'd say it's a bad choice: .......

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

　I mean, there was something going on in Lukvis, Samaritan, Mearaq, and the land of the beastmen....

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

　The case of Nair reviving the evil dragon is the most difficult in the sense that it will have an impact on the future. .......

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

"Hey, hey, what are you going to do about it?　What's the point of just walking down the street?"

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

　Nair's voice trembles a little as if she has a premonition and tries to blatantly change the subject.

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

　Not wanting to dredge up the past, I take her suggestion and change the subject.

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

"Mr. Aruk, do you know where you are going?

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

"We are heading for the area where the city is being developed since we know that we can get some help from Mr. Usato.

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

"When you say development ......, do you mean places where they are building buildings, roads, etc.?"

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

That's right.

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

　I've been through that area many times as part of my training.

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

　You certainly can't have enough hands there.

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

"I'm sure your healing magic can help those in need in the city, and there are many things you can do.

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

"I see. ...... In the meantime, we can always expand our healing senses."

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

　As if to make good on my promise, I radiate the magic weakened by the deterioration of my lineage around myself.

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

"It's kind of relaxing to be near you, Usato-kun.

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

"I have just started radiating healing magic," he said.

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

"But it feels more like I'm getting a feeling of being fluffed up than receiving normal healing magic."

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

　Like sonar, it emits magic power at regular intervals to determine the location of people around you.

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

　The effective range is about 10 meters, and although the magic itself dissipates quickly, it is enough to walk around the city.

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

"Are you sure you can use the magic power now, Usato-dono?"

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

"The degradation of the system also helps to reduce the consumption of magic power.

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

"It's starting to feel like you're not just doing healing magic anymore, but something different from a wizard. ......"

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

　I chuckle to myself as Mr. Krumia looks a little taken back.

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

　Personally, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn this kind of deterioration, but it's quite difficult to do so.

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

　I detect five children coming toward me from an alley within my magic detection range.

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

　It's obvious that they are kids who live here, but two of them are kids I know.

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

"Ram, Rose."

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

"Oh, Usato, my brother!"

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

"Hello!"

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

　The twin demon children under Mr. Gref's protection, Ram and Rose.

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

　Seeing them running toward us out of the alley, I, Nair and Amako said good-bye to Mr. Aruk and left for a while --- but for some reason, Uluru followed us.

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

"Why Uluru-san?"

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

　Don't get excited.

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

　I kneel down on the ground to make eye contact with the two who came this way, while paying attention to the fact that Uluru-san, whose eyes are sparkling, has become a bit of a senior.

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

　I look at the other children who are asking about us from the alley, and then talk to them.

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

"Were you playing with your friends?"

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

Do you want me to call your sister?

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

　I'm a little worried about the kids playing alone, but if Mr. Greff allows it, I guess it's okay.

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

　Besides, this place is not far from where he lives.

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

"What's wrong with your brother, Usato?　He is walking normally.

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

"That's because sometimes I want to walk too, you know?"

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

"Pfft!"

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

　Amaco, you'll have to prepare yourself later.

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

　But why do they think I'm always running?　Do they think I'm a tuna or something?

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

"Be careful not to go too far, okay?　You don't want Mr. Gref to worry, do you?"

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

"Yeah. That's why I try to play close by.

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

"Great."

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

　You are not related to me by blood, but I can see that you trust Mr. Gref.

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

　I felt no need to be so careful and was about to leave when ...... I suddenly thought of giving him something.

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

　The actual "I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with it, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it.

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

"Here you go."

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

"What's this?　Slime?"

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

"It's soft."

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

"Yeah. It's a healing slime. It will disappear over time, though."

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

　I'll give him the bullet, or healing slime for now.

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

　The two who hold it in their hands, which is made of dark green magic with a slightly increased concentration of magic power and processed with elasticity, their faces light up with a "wow".

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

"Thank you, Usato!"

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

"No problem. You can give it to them too.

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

See you later!"

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

　I wave them off as they run to their friends in a good mood.

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

　Uluru-san calls out to me.

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

"Are you used to children, Usato-kun?"

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

I'm always there for you.

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

Hey, Usato. Are you talking about me?　Usato?"

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

　Amako looks up at me and smacks me in the face, and I am amused.

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

　Payback for laughing at me earlier: ......!

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

"But ...... the kids were scared of you in Hinomoto, but not here, as you proved."

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

"I think Usato got what he deserved that time."

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

"It doesn't change the fact that he's a monster who chopped the ground with a piece of firewood instead of chopping it with an axe."

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

　You're still the same old lucky guy.

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

　I sigh as the cheeky commentary from the little fox and the little owl brings me back to reality at once.

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

"Usato, by the way, how long does it take for that thing to disappear?"

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

"Well, I guess so. ....... If you don't treat it roughly, it should last for an hour or two, right?

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

　It won't last up to half a day, as expected.

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

　I didn't make it that consciously.

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

　As I think about this, I notice Mr. Uluru's eyes looking at me hungrily.

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

"Please visit ......."

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

"Thank you, Usato-kun. ......!!!"

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

No, thank you.

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

"Wow, it's supposed to be the same magic, but it's so different from mine!"

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

　....... Is there really a demand for healing slime ......?

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

　When I get back to Lingle Kingdom, should I get permission from the castle and try to sell it?　No, wait, stick adhesive healing magic bullets on the affected area ......, no way, healing compresses are possible ......?

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

"Nah, where are you tired?"

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

"What?　What? Tired areas?　Hmm, your eyes are tired from reading late last night.

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

"All right, put this over your eyes."

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

Sanity?

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

　Why do I have to question my sanity twice a day?

　Despite her babbling, Nair remains in her owlish state as she attaches slime-like magic bullets to the tops of her eyelids.

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

　It looks like an owl with its eyes covered, which is a curious sight. .......

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

"How is it?"

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

"Uh-oh. ......"

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

　You sound like my uncle, is he ok?

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

　Nair groans for a few seconds and opens his mouth with magic attached to his eyes.

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

"This is going to sell!"

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

　The feedback was very step-less, but it seems to be effective.

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

"I like that it's sticky but not too strong. It's good because the moderate vibrations of the healing magic slowly spread around the eyes, which is normal.

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

　Nair is enjoying the magic bullet attached to her eye with oohs and aahs.

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

　It seems that she doesn't intend to take it off for a while.

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

"Let's start a business when we get back to Lingle Kingdom. I'll leave the management and other things to me and Suzune, and all you have to do is to produce magic bullets.

"Amaco. How's Hannah doing?

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

　I look from Nair, who is mumbling something to Amako.

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

　She was walking along without a care in the world and put her hand over her mouth.

　Caring for flowerbeds, huh?
