When I looked around, I saw Mira stomping on the head of the bandit who hung his head.

'Your boss told me to leave the woman behind, what was he going to do to her?　Look, there's a woman, let's see what you were going to do. Look, hey.

　The man being trampled on is trembling while making strange noises that he doesn't want to transcribe. .........I think joy is beginning to seep into his voice, but is it just my imagination?

''Don't tell me you're happy to be trampled on?　I was dumbfounded. Not only is he a sinner, he's a pervert.

"...Mira?　They don't seem to be putting up any more resistance, so there you go.

　
　She jolted and turned around to face me.

''!　Mr. Leme, Mr. Leme!　That's right. This man has been looking at me in a disgusting way, so I just got overheated.

　The gaze of Mira-san changed from one that looked as if she were looking at filth, and she came closer to me with moist eyes.

''The magic just now was truly brilliant........ I'm sure there are more than a few of us, even in the investigation team, who don't understand what Reme-san did.

Oh, thank you.

'Oh, Lady Mira. Please let me hear what you have to say. I have just found out that a tremendous amount of magic flowed out of Reme-sama.

　Maru-san called out to Mira-san with a look of curiosity.
　Mila-san looked at me as if she was peeking out, so I nodded back.

''Huh, fine. You won't believe that it happened within a very few seconds, but everything I'm about to tell you is true, right?

　I used to be an adventurer who left no stone unturned so that people wouldn't realize what I was capable of.
　The black magic that passed is reminiscent of black magic. Black magic is something that once caused the death of many people. The country is not pleased. It might cause trouble for his friends, or worse, it might expose his master.

　But already, through his activities as a Remegeton, it has almost been exposed.
　This trip is part of our activities to show that we are not a threat to humanity on that basis.

　My peers Merlin, Maru and the others believe it, but we don't know who is lurking in the investigation team.
　I didn't originally intend to do that, but we shouldn't skimp on it.

　Besides, to begin with, black magic is terrific and unsophisticated.
　Unless you're a top-notch person with excellent magic sensing, you don't know what exactly I was doing.

　Mila-san would know because she's also my fan.
　Removing my gaze from Mila-san's enthusiastic speech about my black magic, I casually checked everyone else out.
　Mr. Fulkus thrust one of the bandits in front of Mr. Sitley.

'This one, great there.'

　Whether it's his appearance, his behavior, or what he says, he seems to have found a man of reasonable standing in the bandit group.

''Ookay~. Ugh, it doesn't smell pretty.''

Hurt.

'I don't mean Fu-chan~?

"Just kidding.

Ha-ha, that's interesting.

What the f*ck do you think you're doing to me--

Be a good girl and help Citry, okay?

　I could feel the charm kick in.

"I'm ready for anything!

'So~ So, is this the entire bandit gang here?

　The man spouted off what he knew.
　We all came here together, the location of the hideout, where we hid the things we stole, etc.

''Wow you must be a very bad boy.

　Citry-san looked at me.



　I suppose he was going to consult with me, his chief of staff, because of the Demon King's Castle, but Citry-san was somewhat forceful in his deception.
　When Maru heard the report, she let out a troubled voice.

''Well, as expected of Citry-san.

　Even though it's portable, it's heavy for a piece of luggage, and unlike public magic communicators, there's no cable to supply magic power, so you have to use the magic stone, and the time of use is limited due to its small size, and yet it's a device that's not popular at all because of its ridiculous price.
　It is said to be a device that people hesitate to use except in distress or in danger of death.

I'm afraid so. That's true, and we can't go there either.

　We also need to investigate the hiding place and blockade/removal, and some of the stolen items may find their owners, depending on what they are.
　It's also the territory of the Order, and we have to investigate the original dungeon.

Sitree can charm all of these kids and make them turn themselves in, right?

Thank you. But I don't like being under the spell of the charm. I will give the information I got from Master Citry to the Order and they will keep it here. Of course, with no possibility of escape.

Wait, wait!　From now on, the Order will take three days at the earliest!　You're going to die!

　The bandit who seemed to have heard the story shouted. It was a man wrapped in a rope.

''What are you talking about? You attacked a man and now you want us to prepare three meals for ourselves?'

　When Mila glared at him, the bandit shrank back up and closed his mouth.

''It's okay, I'll keep it for three days.

　I said, encouragingly.
　I've been thrown into the mountains when I was an apprentice, so I know what I'm talking about. I can manage three days if you don't move.
　You might want to give him some water, just in case.

"Reme-sama I thought you were a mild-mannered person, but you have a surprisingly S-ish temperament...?

'Lemé-san sometimes has a kind smile on her face and says some harsh things, and that's what I like about her.

Eh....

　It's got a strange reputation.

"Where's the food?

　Mr. Fulkus asked the bandit, who still had his charm (charm) on, such a question.

'Rejoice, Ex. The ants are alive, okay?

　Merlin-san returned, floating back with wind magic.
　Ivy was held in his hand and the chieftain was captured. He seemed to be unconscious.

''Oh, good. Really.''

'You didn't have to use spirit magic, did you?

　At Arthur-san's words, Ex-san scratched her cheeks.

''Yes, but I thought it would be important to show my strength to the guys I'll be fighting with in the original dungeon, and I thought it would be a good opportunity...''

''I see, Leader. That certainly tightened the air. It was only half as effective because Merlin laughed.

That's not true, Arthur. A villain who looked like he would be in a bad play was blown up like a joke, and a brave man who was telling him how much to take, did it, and you can't help but laugh.

You should take a little lesson from Leme.

'Is this about magic?　Sure, Leme was brilliant, but I'm also focused on my enjoyment.

It's all about attitude.

It's all about attitude.

　While these conversations were going on, we captured the bandits.
　Many of them had water in their possession, so we made them drink it, and then we wrapped the rest around the trees.
　The leaves gave us some shade, and we had some water to drink, so we'd be fine until the Knights came.

　There were some good things about this fight.
　The delicate air between the adventurers and the sub-humans, and each other, was cleared up with this.

　Arthur-san said to Flukas-san, "Well done," and Flukas-san said, "You too," which led to a gathering of those who were good at close quarters combat to praise each other's battles.

　Mila asked the cat sub-human woman who was fighting nearby, "May I call you sister? He politely declined, "I'm in time for that kind of thing..." he said.

　Citry-san said to the female adventurer, "I watched the raid battle... it's amazing that you're not only cute but also strong, you're an enemy in your profession, but I wanted to be like you too, Citry-san... They called me and said, "I know~. I don't want to throw away 'cute'~" she responded.

　The wizard types gathered around Merlin-san. She said, "I like hard-working people, don't you?　Alright, you can call me Sensei," he decided to talk about magic.

　
　Adventurers don't get to know sub-humans very well due to their professions, but I think it would be nice if that kind of thing gradually disappears.
　At least by fighting together, we were able to realize that we are friends.

　However, I, a 【Black Mage】, I'm still popular even at times like this--.

''Ah, um........Reme-san........''

　It was a young man with pure white hair. Judging from his appearance, he must be a [White Mage].

''What is it?''

Well, how did you do that?

Yeah?

'You recognized all those people and deployed the appropriate black magic for each of them. Honestly, I don't think it's human karma.

　...he understands what I've done.

...simply a result of your training.

Great.....

　I was honestly happy to hear those unintentional words that leaked out.

"Thanks--

Oh, um!　Can that cultivation be applied to white magic as well!

"Huh, do you want to cast multiple white magic on a large group of people?

'Oh, I'm sorry!　I wanted to become an adventurer myself, but I've heard that [white mages] aren't treated well. But if all five of them were given a number of amazing enhancements, they would definitely be useful and I think their reputation would change.

I see. Okay, then...

　Maybe I've seen my former self in him.
　Not that that's why, but I'm determined to respond to the serious ones with seriousness.

　I was told later that it was Mr. Fellow who recommended the young man.
　However, it doesn't seem that the young man himself has a backstory or anything. Just like Lace-kun and Fran-san, he's a promising human being found by Mr. Ferro.

　........But as far as the fight with the bandit group is concerned, he was doing pretty good.
　He was using his staff like a club to defeat some people.

　A [White Mage] who can fight?　I think it's very good.

　Since that day, we've been talking to each other occasionally.
　The trip continues in a more harmonious atmosphere than when we left.
