　Although we were attacked by demons, the rest of our assistance went off without a hitch.

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

　My plan to show off my human side completely failed. ...... Well, if you ask me which is more important, the safety of the people here or my impression, it's the former without thinking.

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

　So I decided to resign myself to the fact that I will still be seen as a monster and work as hard as I want.

"Hmph!"

　He thrusts a log as thick as the girths of three people combined into the hole he dug in the ground with great force.

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

　With a "thud" sound, the log stands vertically---the frame of the outer wall---and I let out a light exhale and relax my shoulders.

"Usato!　Help me here!

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

Oh, heavy!

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

　Without even a moment to catch my breath, I run over to Hilk-kun and Eige-kun, who were working on the same project nearby, and lift up the log that was about to lean.

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

　The log was a size smaller than mine, but it was too heavy for two demons to lift.

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

"Thank God!

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

"Be careful, it's not something you can lift recklessly."

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

"What are you, a man who can lift without recklessness? ......"

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

"I work out."

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

"No, I'm scared."

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

　It wasn't my intention to be on the same job as these two, we just happen to be on our way to help out with all the heavy lifting. ...... We're getting to know each other somehow.

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

"You two simply don't have enough muscle, do you?　I could ask Coga to recommend you guys to rejoin the squad. ......"

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

No, thanks!

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

"No, I don't want to ...... train. ......"

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

　It's not like I'm going to train you.

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

　Well, the people here are former soldiers of the Demon Army, so they're pretty well-trained, but these two are almost the same as ordinary demons.

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

"Well ...... there's no need to force yourself to train your body."

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

　Demons have always sought the power to fight, but from now on they will need to learn other fields.

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

　In that sense, the same can be said for me who has decided to live in this world.

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

"Oh, hey, what are you laughing at ......?"

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

"Are you thinking of something that will send us to hell ......?"

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

"No, why would I be."

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

　Do they think I'm thinking that just because I'm laughing ......?　Isn't that just plain unreasonable?

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

　After the three of us have pushed the lifted log into the ground, I leave the two of them for the moment.

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

　It's time for a break, I should sit down and rest a little too.

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

"Whew!

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

"You've really lost your cover, haven't you?"

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

　Nair, who was wearing my group uniform as a cloak, says something like that to me.

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

　When did you go to ......?　As a sunshade?

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

"I don't have to hide it anymore.

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

"...... indeed. It's probably impossible to fix now."

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

　Three days since I started helping out.

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

　I've been helping out in different parts of the city, moving from place to place.

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

　It's all hard work, like what I'm doing now, but I don't have to think about appealing to people anymore, so I'm allowed to do it to the best of my ability.

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

"Well, the sun is shining more often now, and it's getting really hot!

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

"Maybe it's because the demon king's power has been removed."

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

　Originally, sunlight did not penetrate the demon king's territory because it was covered by thick clouds.

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

　If this was caused by the power of the Demon Lord that was buried in this land, then it is no wonder that this environment has changed.

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

Good work, Usato-kun!

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

Uluru-san!

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

　It was Uluru-san who arrived, looking as energetic as ever.

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

　I receive a hand towel and a water bottle from her and finally take a break.

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

"You're good at hard work, aren't you!

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

"I'm sure that's all he can do."

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

"Of course not. Usato-kun is a healing magician too!

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

　Uluru-san says as he closes the distance to Nea, who stares at him and says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

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

　Uluru-san, who specializes in healing, is the reason I am able to do the heavy lifting in the field, so Néa is not entirely wrong.

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

"Hey, why are you wearing Usato's uniform?　Let me in too!"

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

"Hey, don't come in here because it's too hot!　Don't you have one of your own?

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

　Uluru-san laughs as she gets into it with Nair.

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

　You really have a way of closing the distance.

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

　This forcefulness is something I don't have.

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

"I'm really glad you're here, Mr. Uluru."

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

　It would have been hard for me to be the only one.

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

　Thanks to Uluru-san's dedication to healing magic, we were able to train our troops.

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

Usato-kun, that's my line.

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 mean, thank you for bringing me here."

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

　Uluru-san laughs at my puzzled look and continues to speak.

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

"I've been working in the clinic as a healing wizard for so long that I hardly knew anything about the outside world. I was happy with that, and I never thought of leaving the clinic because I was worried about my brother."

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

"I didn't realize that."

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

　You were so worried about Olga that you were overprotective.

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

"But now your brother has met someone with whom he can have a good relationship. Nack has grown up to help out at the clinic in the little time I've seen him. ......"

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

"Hmph, Nack works hard every day, too."

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

　I've grown mentally and physically since my days in Lukvis.

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

　I think I've grown a little taller lately.

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

That's why I secretly made up my mind to come here and try to change myself.

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

"Do you think you can change?"

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

"I don't know. But I'm enjoying my life here.

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

　That's good.

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

　At least as far as I could see, Uluru was smiling the whole time.

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

"And it's fun to see how Usato is becoming more and more like Rose."

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

"Oh, you're kidding me. ......?"

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

"No, it's not a lie. You look just like Rose when you are training.

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

　Mr. Uluru tells this to a stunned Nair.

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

　I'm not that I'm not happy to be told that I look like my master, but for my part, I still think I'm not there yet.

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

　While talking with Uluru-san, I suddenly notice a shadow approaching us from the sky.

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

　......Keira?

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

　She was wearing a cloak of dark magic and came at me with great speed, and as soon as she landed on the ground, she came up to me.

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

"Kiila?　What's wrong?

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

"Ugh, Mr. Usato!"

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

　I took her in my arms and checked her expression, and I saw that something was wrong.

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

　I couldn't believe that Keira was so upset. ......What's wrong?

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

"Oh, umm...!　Mr. Usato!　Ram is ...... ram!

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

"First of all, please calm down. I'll listen to what you have to say.

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

　He places a hand on her shoulder with healing magic to calm the distraught Keira.

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

　Keira, who had regained some of her composure with the healing vibrations, raised her voice to me with tears in her eyes.

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

"Ram has been kidnapped with the girl I was ...... playing with!

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

　---Ram has been kidnapped.

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

　As soon as I hear those words, I take Keira in my arms and put on the cloak of dark magic.

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

　I'll ask him about the details later.

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

　First of all, I soar high into the sky with the force of a leap, and stop at a position where I can look down on the whole city.

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

"Mr. Usato, I've been looking for you from the sky, too. ......"

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

Keira, cover your ears.

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

　He made sure that Keira covered her ears with her hands and took a deep breath.

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

　I let out my voice in a single gulp, and shout out my partner's name.

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

"Bulllyyyyyy!!!!".

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

　My voice echoes through the city, followed by a moment of silence.

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

　But right after that..,

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

　We hear a reliable yell from the inn, and we descend to the ground.

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

　Once we landed on the ground where we used to be, Nair, who had grasped the situation, immediately spoke to us.

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

"Keira, you said that Ram was kidnapped, where was he taken?

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

By the outer wall.

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

When you say by, do you mean outside?

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

No, it's the inside. Somehow they made some kind of hole in the outer wall ...... maybe from there ......"

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

　Was it planned or ......?

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

　At least it wasn't a spur of the moment thing.

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

　It seems to me that they knew where the children were going to play and acted accordingly.

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

"People with black cloths wrapped around their faces," he said. Only Rose was able to hide in the shadows and was saved, but the children who were with ...... Ram were taken away ......."

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

　Keira grips the shoe that is left behind tightly.

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

　It probably belongs to Ram, who had left it there.

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

"What's Rose doing now?"

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

"She's with Gref. I've already informed the guards and they will send a search party soon. ......"

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

　They're already working on it? .......

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

　But I don't feel safe.

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

"Usato, they're probably on ......"

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

"Yeah."

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

　A premeditated crime.

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

　He targeted children of the demon tribe, who are easy to kidnap.

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

　They hid their faces.

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

　We can't be sure yet, but it's likely to be slavers or those who deliver them to slavers.

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

　Did he take advantage of the time when the demon king's power was weakened?　There might be a good number of them when they kidnap several children at once.

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

That's gutsy.

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

　I was prepared.

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

　I thought there would be people like that.

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

　In fact, I had encountered bandits in my early days in this world,...... but this time I was mad too.

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

The foundation has been laid for a compromise between demons and humans. We can't let this ruin that.

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

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

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

　Bulrin appears behind me with a cloud of dust and sniffs, looking very motivated.

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

　I pat him on the head for running here in response to my voice, and he quietly burns with anger.

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

"...... Don't think you can escape!"

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

　I am sure that those who have just kidnapped our children are thinking this way.

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

　The relationship between demons and humans is still a bit iffy, so as long as they get out of the demon king's territory, they should be safe.

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

　As long as we hand over the children, we are in control.

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

It doesn't matter if they are human or not. I'll chase them to the ends of hell.

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

　Even if I manage to escape from the demon king's domain, I will chase after him across the country.

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

　If necessary, I will turn to the people I have come to know on my journey to catch up with them.

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

　I will search day and night... and I will make them understand what it is that they have offended.

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

Bulrin, can you follow the scent of the rum?

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

Grua!

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

Yes. ...... Mr. Uluru. Tell the Demon Lord that I'm moving and to track my magic.

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

"Okay!"

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

　He can do that much.

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

　I really want to call Amako and Nagi, but time is of the essence now.

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

　Uluru rushes away and I unfold my cloak.

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

"Keira, let's go save your family!"

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

　Keira jumps into the cloak with a mighty leap, and I see Nair perched on my shoulder as an owl, and I run off with Bulrin.

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

　Kidnapping a child must be a premeditated crime.

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

　Then they must have a base of operations somewhere.

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

"I'll show you why I'm feared by the devil. ......"

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

"You tell me yourself. ....... But I feel the same way as you now. ......!

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

"Grua!"

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

　I stare ahead, nodding at Nair, who is very motivated.

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

　I'm going to get you out of here.

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

　So don't give up until then. ......!
