Slowly opening my eyelids in the dimly lit room - the ceiling I don't know.... It's the ceiling. It's the ceiling of the inn.
　As it is, I raise my upper body up and suddenly realize. Huh?　I'm not the one who's hurt, am I?
　I'm pretty sure my arm was broken, and I think my ribs or something... but there wasn't even a trace of it.
　I see.......a dream.

　Since my body is so cleanly restored, almost as soon as it occurred to me that it must have been a dream that I fought Black Bear, the door to the room is vigorously opened.

'Kite!'
Huh?　Whoa!

　The person who appeared from the open door was Miss Isis, who is not supposed to be here.
　The first thing you can do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes.

''Thank God........Kite.......''
'What?　Huh?　Mr. Isis?

　I don't know what it is, I have no idea what the situation is.
　I don't even know why Isis-san is here, but most importantly, the current situation is very dangerous.
　I'm not going to be able to get out of it, but I'm going to be able to get out of it.
　What can I say, I thought I was dreaming like hell..................and when I woke up I was in heaven or something like that.

....because I killed them all.
Huh?

　I didn't quite understand what he was telling me.
　The one who tormented me?　Is this about the Black Bear?
　But the black bear I fought, the one that Lilia cut in half, does that mean there were others?

　When I asked Isis-san for more information, it seems that a swarm of black bears appeared after I passed out, and Isis-san wiped them out.
　Yup. That thing........Black Bear was monstrous enough, but even if that thing was a bunch of 1,000 of them, I can't imagine a scene where it could beat Isis-san at all, and in fact, I guess it did.

　Anyway, it seems that thanks to Ms. Isis, there was almost no damage to the town of Rigforesia.
　As it is, Isis-san hugged me for a while, and then stood up with a slightly sad-looking face.

...because you're afraid.
Mr. Isis.

　As I see it, the reason why worrying Lilia-san and the others haven't come to my room even after I wake up seems to be the correct expression to say that they can't get close due to the influence of Isis-san's death magic power.
　Isis-san floats a magic circle.......probably a transfer magic circle at her feet and tries to return to her residence.

''Ah, um!　Mr. Isis.
...what?
Thank you very much for your time today. And, um, I'd like to thank you properly.......would you like to have dinner with me sometime?
"......　...Are you sure?
Yes, sir. If you do, let me buy you a drink. Otherwise, we won't be able to repay you.
Yeah I'm really... excited.

　Thanking you = buying a meal is a very short-sighted thought, but.......it was the only thing I could think of on the spur of the moment.
　However, the effect of those words seemed to be immense, and Isis-san's expression, which looked sad, changed to a bright one and she nodded.
　And with a small wave of her hand, Isis-san left, wrapped in the light of transference magic.






















　After Isis-san left, I left the room and walked down the corridor of the inn in order to apologize to Lilia-san and the others for worrying about her.
　This inn is one of the most high-class inns in Rigforesia because it is used by Lilia-san, the duke, and the wide corridor is so quiet that you would think it was reserved for a private party.

　If you continue to walk for a while, there is a lobby, or rather a common room, or rather a large room, and I could see Lilia-san and the others in the distance.

''Huh?　Mr. Kite!
......
'You're awake. Good.

　The three people there were Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Zeke-san, and they all looked relieved when they saw my face.

''I'm sorry for causing you to worry,''
No, do you feel any pain anywhere?
Yeah, that's totally fine.
Well that's really good.

　I tell Lilia-san, who speaks to me with concern, that her physical condition is perfectly fine.

''Speaking of which, Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san don't seem to be here.......could they have been injured?''
Oh, no, no, neither of you are 'hurt'.

　Since Yuzuki-san and Kusunoki-san weren't there, I asked if they might have been injured after I passed out, but it seems that they are both fine.
　But they seemed to be okay.　There's something about that phrase that stuck with me.

Did you get hurt, or did something else happen to you?
Ms. Aoi and her chicks are now sleeping in their room.
I was hit by the Death King's death spell and passed out.
'Oh, ah...'

　Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san answer my questions in a slightly painful manner.
　As I see it, it seems that they weren't damaged by the Black Bear, but were stunned by Isis-san's death spell.

''By the way, Rei-sama and Fia-sama are attending a reorganization meeting of the nearly destroyed security force.
'Almost destroyed!　Reorganization?　Huh?　I heard there was no damage, but...
Yes, the black bear didn't cause any damage to them. However, after witnessing the Death King's tremendous death spell, almost half of them lost their minds...
'It's not surprising. I couldn't stop shaking for a while. It was rather fortunate that Kusunoki-sama and Yuzuki-sama were the first to faint.

　In the aftermath, you broke the guard's heart!　How ridiculous is the magic of death?
　How terrific Isis-san was at that time can be understood by looking at the three of them who are trembling as they remember now.
　It seems that Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san were, in a sense, lucky to have fainted before they could understand the fear caused by the magic of death.

　

''........Eh?''
'I'm really sorry, Mr Kite,'
Ms. Lilia!　What's wrong with you all of a sudden!

　I'm confused, not understanding why I'm suddenly on my knees, and Lilia-san holds out the necklace I gave her last night.

'Black's necklace?'
''........This necklace, although not a powerful one, had a defensive magic formula on it.......In other words, if I hadn't borrowed this, Kite-san wouldn't have been injured like that. It wasn't there.

　Is there a protective spell in Black's necklace?　
　Lilia-san didn't seem to understand all the details either, but after the earlier incident, she asked former court mage Ray-san to take a look at it and found out that it contained defensive magic.

　Lilia-san bowed her head deeply as it was and continued to speak with a trembling voice.

''No, in the first place, if only I had been more firm.......I said that I would guarantee the safety of Kite and the others in the beginning, but I was so preoccupied with myself that I forgot to even give Kite and the others an escort, and I caused Kite and the others to be injured. It's all, all my fault.
'....No, no, it's not like it's Lilia-san's fault or anything...'
No, it could have been prevented if I had only been more careful. If I had been more careful I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.

　Lilia-san's voice turns to tears and she continues to bow her head and apologize the same way...................What's going on, I'm getting annoyed.
　Again, I'm not a saint. I don't remember much, but I can get angry at times.

'Mr. Kite. I'm really, really sorry...
''........Lilia. I apologize in advance. I'm sorry.
...What?

　After I tell Lilia-san that she continues to apologize, I swing the genkotsu down on her head as hard as I can.

''Ik!''

　Even though Lilia-san is a person with great ability, she doesn't always use body strengthening magic on a regular basis.
　The genkotsu that was eaten in its bare state seemed to be quite painful, and Lilia-san held her head down with both hands.

''If you keep quiet and listen to me, woozy and incomprehensible things... how serious and sultry do you have to be to reach such a conclusion!
'What?　Huh?
This was something of an accident, wasn't it?　I got hurt because I was reckless, and Lilia, you're not the least bit bad!　I mean, I should be the one to thank you, not Lilia, right?　Thank you for your help!
'What?　Ah, ha, ha, yes. Hi, you're welcome?

　Receiving my words that tell her to roll up, Lilia-san nodded hurriedly with a puzzled look on her face.

''Yes. Then this is the end of this conversation!　If you say anything more about it being your fault or anything else, I'll hit you again.
Yes!
'In the first place, it's a bad habit of Lilia-san to think that everything is her fault like that. I know you are a serious person, Lilia-san, but it depends on the time and circumstances. Even the other day........

　Lilia-san, who has gone from a kneeling position to an upright sitting position, and I go on with my lecture-like words.
　It may not be something I could have said, but I still think someone should give this overly serious person a pep talk for once.
　At the very least, let's make sure that in a case like this one, I don't develop a super theory that it's all my fault or something incomprehensible... mainly for my future.

'Great. I am now inclined to give Miyama-sama a hearty round of applause. I'm so glad you said that........
....
'Luna, Luna!　Zeke don't nod, please help me too. It's kind of scary right now, Kite........
Miss Lilia!　I'm not done talking to you yet!
'Ha, yes!　I'm sorry!

　Lilia-san came in teary-eyed in a different way than she did a moment ago, but since I don't intend to condone her, I'm going to continue my sermon.

　The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that I'm not really a character, but I did try to preach a sermon. Well, what can I say - too serious is a good idea.
