　Many things have happened since I was sent to the demon king's territory.

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

　I trained Koga's men, recruited and trained new troops.

　I even retrieved a fragment of the Demon King's power, which he had requested.

　Looking back, it was a very intense two months, but the end was near.

　I visited the building next to the house of the Demon King, where the bodies of Rose's men were laid to rest, and I touched the coffin in which they were buried and kept my eyes down.

I touch the coffin in which they are buried, and my eyes fall to the ground.

　And Mr. Ahl will be released from the hands of the devil.

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

　I mutter this with a sense of determination and remove my hand from the coffin, calling out to Keira, who is standing by my side.

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

"...... Keira, please."

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

　A shadow crawls up from under Keira's feet and changes into the shape of a cloak.

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

　The cloak spread wide on the floor and sucked in the six coffins like a bottomless swamp.

"They're in!"

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

"Thank you. Well then, let's get back before we keep the others waiting.

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 smile at Keira, who seems to be in good spirits, and leave the building.

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

"We are leaving now, have you talked to Mr. Greff?"

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

"Yes, I did. Gref was kind enough to send me off. ...... I'll miss him a little, but I'll be sure to send him lots of letters.

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

"The hard part is that Ram and Rose are starting to beg to go, too.

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

"Ha, ha."

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

　As expected, Ram and Rose are still too young.

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

　But I'm glad to see that neither of them has been traumatized by the incident the other day.

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

"You're only going to be under the protection of the lifeguard, so you're not obligated to participate in any training or anything like that.

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

"Yes, I'll do my best. ......!"

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

"Uh-huh. ......?"

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

　You know what I mean?

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

　You seem very enthusiastic.

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

"Before we meet up with Aruk-san, we have to tell the Demon Lord to ........."

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

　I was planning to leave the building with Keira and stop by the Demon King's mansion next, but when I see a large figure standing in front of the entrance, I approach him with a smile on my face.

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

"Aren't you busy?"

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

"Yes, I am. I'm taking time for you. You should be grateful.

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

　--- Before we could show our faces, the Demon Lord was already waiting for us in front of the entrance to the hall.

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

　He is tall and intimidating, so he has a great presence just standing there with his arms crossed.

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

　The Witch King shifts his gaze from me to Keira, and his eyes narrow.

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

"So you're Keira!"

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

"Yes, yes!"

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

　Keira is a little intimidated by the Demon King, who is not only a good opponent but also very intimidating.

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

　Thinking it's understandable, I talk to Keira.

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

"Don't worry. The Demon King is not as scary as he says he is, and he will forgive a certain amount of rudeness.

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

You're too rude, though."

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

"See?"

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

　I smile through the Demon King's words, and Keira nods her head, albeit awkwardly.

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

　Maybe he prefers a casual way of speaking rather than being overly respectful.

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

"Next stop, Calm Helio or thereabouts?"

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

You know what I'm talking about.

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

"I didn't expect to find his body in a country associated with the heroic. I have a bad feeling about this.

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

"Please stop trying to flag things in a weird way: ......"

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

　To be honest, I've been feeling it for some time.

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

　In the first place, there is even a possibility that there are more troublesome incidents happening in that country that involve me and my senpai.

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

　No, the trouble the Demon King is worried about might be that.

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

"I'm not particularly worried about you, but don't stray too far from the crowd.

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

"I'm sorry, I'm only human."

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

　What a thing to say, this guy.

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

　The demon king, whose mouth twists in amusement at my quip, flips his hand lightly and turns his back to me.

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

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to do now, Usato.

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

　With these final words, the Demon Lord returned to his mansion.

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

　I sighed as I was left there, and Keira looked up at me.

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

"The Demon Lord and Usato-san are good friends, aren't they? ......"

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

"Ha ha ......"

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

　If not having to pay attention to each other is what we call being good friends, then maybe we are good friends.

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

　Maybe ...... no, though I'm sure that the King and I would never say it out loud either.

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

I'm sure he'll never say it.

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

　Keira and I left the pavilion and headed for our lodgings.

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

　I was told that everyone else was at their lodgings preparing for their return, so I went back to my room to carry my luggage as soon as I got back.

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

"Usato-dono, we are ready for you.

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

Yes, sir. Mr. Aruk.

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

　I nodded to Mr. Arc, who called out to me through the open door, and I took my luggage and went out into the hallway.

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

"Are you going to meet up with Senri-sama and Helena-san later?"

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

"Yes. We are going to meet them at the outer gate of the city. The demons will come to see us off at that time.

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

　Seeing them off.

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

　That's a little embarrassing.

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

　When I went outside the inn with Mr. Arc, Keira, Uluru, Amako, Nagi, and Nair were already waiting for us, and behind them, Krumia and the knights were loading their horses.

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

　Behind them, Krumia and the knights are loading their horses. Among them is Bulrin, who is wearing a special saddle, and when he notices me, he slinks up to me.

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

"Guah!"

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

"Good morning, Bulrin. Good morning, Bulrin. You're doing a great job of listening to Mr. Krumia.

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

"Gua!"

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

　Uluru calls out to me as I place my bags on his back, patting him on the head as he makes one more noise and taps his foot.

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

"Good morning, Usato-kun!

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

"Good morning, Mr. Usato!"

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

"Good morning to you too, Bulrin!"

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

"Gru!"

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

　Uluru-san reaches out to pet Bulrin casually after me ......, but Bulrin sniffs and avoids his hand.

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

　It seems that in Bulrin's mind, the treatment of senpai and Uluru-san is still the same.

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

　She looks at the hand that cut the void for a moment in dismay, then puts her hand on her head as if to fool me, and turns back to me with a tremble in her voice.

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

"H-Hmmm, Usato-kun, did you forget something?"

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

"Uh, uh, no, I'm fine. In the first place, I only have a change of clothes and some books in my luggage.

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

I have my books too, so don't forget them!"

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

　Nair says this to me as I reply to Uluru.

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

　Don't worry, I put my book in my bag. I'm sure you'll be able to find it at ....... Or, since it's your baggage, why don't you just carry it?

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

I'm sure you'll be fine, Mr. Nagi.　We are going to Lingle Kingdom from now on.

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

Hm?　Yeah, don't worry about that.

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

　I had not been able to ask him until today for some reason, so I will ask Mr. Nagi about going back to the Lingle Kingdom again.

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

　I should be considerate about this, since it is as if I had called him when he was relaxing in the land of the beastmen.

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

"It is enough for me to have seen with my own eyes what my sister and her family have created and spun out into the present time. Besides, it seems that the lifeguard is very accepting of me.

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

"Yes, I can assure you of that."

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

　I have already informed the Commander about Ms. Nagi in advance, so she should be fine.

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

　Besides, with a physical ability like hers, I'm sure she can participate in the lifeguard training, and I'm looking forward to training with her.

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

　While we are having this conversation, Uluru-san suddenly approaches Nagi-san.

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

"I'm surprised too!　I didn't know that the new member of the group is such a beautiful person!

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

"I can't believe she's so ...... beautiful!

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

"You're beautiful!　It's like Amako just grew up!　Can I call you Kannagi-chan from now on?

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

"Chan!

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

　Nagi is a little taken back by the girl's comic ability with a big smile on her face, but she looks away from him, perhaps embarrassed.

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

　Come to think of it, Nagi-san is about the same age as senpai and Uluru-san, isn't he?

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

"Hey, Usato. Do you think Uluru is calling me small or promising?

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

　Amako looks up at me next to her and says something like that, but it's very hard for me to answer. .......

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

　I think it's time for Amaco to start growing taller.

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

"Oh. ...... Usato-dono, we are ready to move."

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

"Yes, sir. Keira, are you ready to get into the cloak now?"

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

　With a "Yes!", Keira steps into her cloak, and the cloak is attached to my shoulders.

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

　Now I am ready to go.

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

　We will now head for the outer gate where we will meet.

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

I am ready to go.

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

　In front of the outer gate, there were already soldiers sent from the Kingdom of Nirvarna, led by Ms. Helena, and the princess, Lady Senri.

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

　And in front of her stood Koga with a bewildered look on his face, his hands clasped in a way that would prevent her from escaping.

"My Lady Kåga, I have enjoyed so many sweet memories of our honeymoon with you."

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

"You're the one who stormed into my house on your own, aren't you?"

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

"It has become my daily routine to see your sleeping face every morning, but I will miss you tomorrow."

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

"That's what you said when you came to live in my house on your own, right?"

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

"I train hard every day..."

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

"Your expressions are a little weird.　You're trying to fill the outer moat by planting false rumors around us!

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

The outer moat has already been filled, so we're just trying to catch up now.

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

"I think we're in for something more serious than that!"

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

　Koga is getting upset with Senri, who is making comments that could really be misunderstood by those who don't know anything about the situation.

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

　I have already said goodbye to my men, so they are not here, but Nero, Amira, Hannah, Keira and ...... Gref who came to see Keira off are here.

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

"It looks like you're going back to the Lingle Kingdom."

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

Yes. Thank you for spending two months with me in training.

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

No, I've had my fair share of fun.

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

　I thank Mr. Nero, who has recently been assigned to the city guard, again.

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

　He has been a great help to me during my training.

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

"Do you have any message for the Commander?"

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

"No, I don't need to. He and I are going our separate ways.

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

"I see. ....... Well, I'm sure you'll get a very strong response if you tell them.

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

　I wonder if Mr. Nero has been able to look forward.

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

　Only Mr. Nero himself can know that, and I don't think I'm tactless enough to bother asking him that.

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

　But ...... I feel that he is no longer lost when we are talking like this.

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

Thank you for all the help you've given me, Hannah.

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

"It's true, it's true. It's been really hard since you came."

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

Ha-ha-ha.

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

　I laugh at her as she says this while turning her head to the side.

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

　I've caused her a lot of trouble and taken care of her too, you know. But I think we've gotten along quite well.

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

"Isn't it a bit rude to sigh in someone's face?"

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

"No, you see. The other day, there was talk that you and Amira-san might be given a new position by the Demon King. ......"

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

"What kind of position?"

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

"It's something similar to an intermediary between the Demon King's Domain and the Lingle Kingdom. ...... I'll be visiting the Lingle Kingdom frequently from now on."

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

　I see. It is true that the number of exchanges between the Lingle Kingdom and the Demon King's Domain will increase in the future, and so will the number of such jobs.

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

　I can understand why the Demon Lord would entrust such a role to Amira and Hannah, whom he trusts.

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

"So I sigh when I think that I will see Usato-kun's no-nonsense face again."

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

"Well, I'll show you the lifeguards then."

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

"Oh, I don't like it. ......"

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

　I tell her without changing my smile.

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

"Don't worry. Almost all of us are resistant to illusion magic.

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

You just said, "Don't worry!　What's there to be relieved about?

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

　Well, I mean that you can talk naturally without having to go out of your way to deceive others.

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

　Of course, I have nothing personal ...... against you.

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

"So, you're the last one."

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

"I ain't the last one to like you."

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

　Koga, who is the last to speak, sighs as he looks sideways at the smiling face of Senri-sama.

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

　We've been talking for a while now, haven't we?

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

"Wake up early in the morning."

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

"Oh."

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

"Take your work seriously."

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

"Oh."

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

Don't fight with anyone.

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

"Are you my guardian or something?"

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

　That's about all I have to say.

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

　I feel like I'm going to see this guy for some reason, and it doesn't feel like a goodbye.

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

"No, there's nothing more to say than I thought there would be, and I'm confused.

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

"You mean in front of him? ......"

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

　Coga scratches his head in dismay.

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

　He's going to have to lead the troops now, isn't he?

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

　I have to act as a person who is firmly in a higher position, not as an appropriate person as when I was the commander of the second corps.

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

　I myself am not in a position to speak highly of myself, so I can't say this or that. .......

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

"Well, I'm sure you'll get along just fine.

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

"That's easy for you to say, really."

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

　They'll do whatever it takes.

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

　At least Koga has grown up in the last two months.

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

"Keep up the good work, kooga."

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

"Ha, ...... got it."

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

　Coga nodded with a wry smile.

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

　With those last words, I get on the back of the burin.

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

　......Though a lot has happened, the two months in the Demon Lord's territory have been fun in their own way.

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

"After all, the most archenemy of all is Usato-san,......!"

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

"Hey, Usato. Senri is staring at me. ......

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

"Oh, don't worry about it. ...... yeah."

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

　Maybe Koga will have a harder time after this.

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

　Somehow, with this thought in my mind, I start to move forward to return to the Kingdom of Lingle.
