Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

312 Lesson 278



Having finished our battle with the Demon King, we began walking back to the kingdom of Ringle after taking a short break.

It was in some demonic raids, but still reached the Great River, which separates the kingdom of Ringle from the demonic kingdom much sooner than it went.

Crossing the bridge created by the magic of me and Mr. Leona just as I was going, somehow soon came the knights and Mr. Siggles from the kingdom of Ringle.

Shaken by the carriage, I asked Mr. Siggles why he had come, and he said that the Kingdom of Ringle had already been delivered with a letter sent by the Demon King, and he also knew that we would return.

'Until I saw you all with this eye, we were half-hearted, too.... I'm glad you're okay. Really.'

Mr. Siggles was powerful and put it that way.

Arriving straight to the kingdom of Ringle, the first time Amako and I broke up, we were immediately sent to the castle to see Lord Lloyd.

Nair and Ferm decided to wait in a separate room, and I, Senior, Kazuki and Leona are out in front of Master Lloyd.

"Well... well, you're back safely"

Master Lloyd's appearance had been somewhere.

He looked around at all of us, caressing his chest in relief, wondering if we were safe or not.

"We should have celebrated the return of the lords in general, but listening to the lords is our top priority first"

"Dear Lord Lloyd, I heard you got a letter from the Demon King..."

"Oh, yesterday, it was sent from the demon-like demon of the Demon King"

Lord Lloyd nodded at his senior words to take a light brown parchment.

A letter written by the Demon King.

He looks back at us when he sees the text.

"The Demon King is described as surrendering to us, is this true?"

"Yes, we fought the Demon King and defeated him at the end of the death battle, which led us to acknowledge our defeat."

"... well. The battle is over."

Master Lloyd weakens his shoulders and leaves his back on the throne.

For about a few seconds, after holding his eyes with his hands, he stretches his spine and takes a deep breath.

"I want you to tell me more"

"Detailed, what is the story?"

"What did you see and feel in Demon King's Land? And I want you to tell me how you fought in front of a mighty enemy called the Demon King."

Being perplexed by the offer, Master Lloyd bowed his head in regret.

Mr Serge and the ministers show how they bothered, but Master Lloyd nonetheless utters words.

"I'm sorry. I'd really like to give your lords a break soon, but things are already moving."

"... I understand"

"From now on, it's not a fight. There will be other problems. That's why we have to deepen our understanding of the species we call the Demons"

"But Master Lloyd. They're demons."

"That's why"

To Mr. Sergio's words, Master Lloyd quietly returns his voice.

"I guess I shouldn't forgive you. That's all the Demon King Army has done to us."

"Dear Lord Lloyd..."

"But still, if we choose to destroy the Demons cheaply with anger and hatred, we will leave behind in us the roots of evil that will never go away. It will spark a not-so-distant future and spark new strife again.... That's all, we definitely have to avoid. There's plenty of feuds to kill each other."

Troubled as king, he unwittingly speaks to Master Lloyd after three battles.

Yeah, right.

Nobody normally wants to fight, or take their lives.

If that's Lord Lloyd, it's natural to think so.

If it were to destroy the Demons here, then Lord Lloyd would (...) decisively change something in this kingdom of Ringle as well.

"Usato, Kazuki"

Seniors call me Kazuki's name.

We nodded at her looking at this one. We decided to tell her everything that happened on this journey.

I don't care how long it takes.

Demons like Mr. Greff and Keira we met.

The battle at that ruin.

That Mr. Nagi joined his people.

Demon King's Army, and the last battle with the Demon King.

And - scroll.

Everyone but us, including Lord Lloyd, had shut our mouths to surprise when we had finished explaining the supplements in the faces that were here as easily as possible.

Especially Mr. Welsey, who was on the spot, looks surprised and likely to faint even now.

"... ugh, ugh, you've heard shocking stories besides fighting the Demon King. Scroll to the beast man who was the partner of the brave predecessors and could bring your lords back to their original worlds."

"When it comes to scrolling, we believe we should ask for Falga's cooperation."

"Yeah, but I'll send Miarak a reward soon"

Before you go home, you should first be able to exchange information with Master Farga immediately.

Lord Lloyd, who gave instructions to Mr. Wellsey, who received the scroll, turns this way.

"You worked really, really hard. After the Lord's efforts, the battle came to an end. on behalf of the Kingdom, let us express our gratitude"

Deeply bowing your head, Master Lloyd.

I usually get scared, but you can't possibly not understand what that means for a king of a country to bow his head and thank him.

Let's not say anything here and get that thank you.

"I'm sorry I let you talk so long. You'll be tired from a long journey, take your rest."

"Ha."

The seniors rise according to Lord Lloyd's words.

But I speak to my senior without standing up. [M]

"Senior, would you tell Nair and Ferm to go home first?"

"... yeah, I get it"

My senior snorted at me for guessing what I was going to talk about.

As they left the hall, I turned to Master Lloyd, who waited for me without saying anything.

Both Mr. Welsey and Mr. Sergio are looking at me in a complicated way.

"You wrote about me in your letter, too."

"... um"

At the time of the battle and only after, but I can tell.

The Demon King has a bad personality.

Or mean.

Depending on the way you look at it, you can assume that I saved you the trouble of explaining it from scratch.

"You don't even have to obey me. The Lord... No, it's like the Lord was taken away from our peaceful routine by our unsolicited deeds. Nonetheless, your lords fought for the people of Ringle. He lent me strength."

"Dear Lord Lloyd..."

"He said there was a chance that he could get a scroll and finally go back to the original world... and that the Lord, no other, would have to reject that choice itself... too harsh"

I knew Lord Lloyd was sick of me.

I shake my head sideways, glad that I cared.

"At a time when you have beaten down the Demon King, this answer cannot be changed. On the contrary, the Demon King will not betray me as long as I remain prepared to do so."

This is as early as possible, close to certainty.

Not because we hit each other, but I somehow understand who the Demon King is all through that battle.

"That's it, say it all"

"This is only my subjectivity. I also know it seems suspicious from around. The opponent is the Demon King, the man who has waged war so far, and is considered the most fearful person for people."

The history of the war has not changed.

Dead people don't go back either.

Nor can we erase the fear of the Demon King that has ever been feared.

"That's why I stand between demons and humans, both races."

"Which species of malice might you be exposed to?"

"I'm ready."

Someone has to do this.

I'm sure that even if someone else took on the same role, that person would fear the Demon King, the Demon Nation.

I renounce seeing the current state of the Demon Nation with a fair eye.

"I will continue to move for the people of this world. So don't hesitate to order me. That's why I'm here."

"... to the point of stubbornness, I didn't want you to resemble Rose"

"He's a master to me."

"Oh, I know.... I know."

Lord Lloyd grips the edge of the throne so that he can flourish.

After a few seconds or so, he pulls out his shoulder, his face up.

"It's Usat... From now on, let's fight together not as otherworlds but as people of the kingdom of Ringle"

"Yes...!"

At this moment, I cut off my untrained journey into the original world.

To my hometown, I know I have thoughts for my parents, but I have no intention of going home.

I'm an infidel, I'm sorry.

Turn forward with words of farewell in your heart to your parents who will never see you again.

Usato, you chose to stay in this world.

I think that's a very painful choice.

Because he wasn't as disappointed in the original world as I was, and he had a choice to live a crowded life.

Yet he chose the path to fight in this world by abandoning the peaceful life of his former world.

I guess that determination is admirable.

Kazuki, you too, will be forced to make painful decisions from now on.

He, like you, Usato, has only reason to return to the original world.

And at the same time, there's a reason I want to stay in this world.

... As for him, you should leave it to Celia and Flana.

Those two can support you, Kazuki.

"--And yet, what a shallow woman I am...... ugh!!"

"Why are you here?"

"Yes, this is the guest room."

Around the time you reunited with Flana and Celia, I read the air softly, and I was stuck at a table in a room with Nair and Ferm that I would wait until your story was over.

I have an empty cup of tea in my hand.

"Give me more tea!"

"Tea is not alcohol..."

And Nair pours me some tea in the cup I offered him, even though it's a good one.

Urgh at casual kindness, I speak to both of them.

"Nair, Ferm, thanks for being my talker...!"

"Are you talking to me just to react...?"

"I wonder if there's a poor brave man so far..."

Seen with cold eyes, like a pull.

Being exposed to such a gaze is the earliest thing I'm used to, so I smile back.

"Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel better"

"Is this guy invincible...?"

I got further dong pulled.

But I'm a strong woman, so I'll get back on my feet soon.

"Me, Usato, I heard you were going to stay in this world and you were happy about it somewhere in your heart..."

"Will you stop being abruptly serious...? The temperature difference is too great...?"

Fermu, who pulled his cheeks, cheeks uncomfortably.

Maybe, Usato, if you chose to return to the original world, I would surely choose the same path.

Even across different worlds and scales, now I'm looking for an interesting and fun routine with you, Usat.

"Usato, I can keep living in this world where you are. When I thought about it, I realized I was happy."

Even though I know why he made the decision to stay in this world.

So I couldn't help but think that I was so shallow.

"Don't you want to go back to your old world?"

"Absolutely. I'm keeping an eye out for them all."

A life that was born in a house with a format and was supposed to follow a path to be laid down.

The reality that was hurting my brother before I realized it.

I would be able to do something about it right now. It should be equipped with both the decisiveness and the ability to act - but I can be that way right now because you have Usat.

In a world without him, there is no brave Inukami Suzune (I) in the kingdom of Ringle, even if there is a student chairman and cool-beautiful dog Ringtone (I).

"... nothing. I don't think that's a bad idea"

"Huh?"

"Unlike you, I don't have anything to do with choosing, but I was just a little relieved to hear that Usat would stay too"

Me and Nair look at Ferm with surprise.

You stopped being there, Fermu slaps the table with a red tide on his face.

"Oh, because when that monster is gone, there will be no tension! Don't get me wrong!"

"Tundele B!"

"I don't know what that word means, but I know you're being fooled!!"

Ferms angry at the lighting.

Satisfied to hear just a little of what she really meant, Nair shrugs her shoulders with the cup on the table with her mouth on it.

"I'm sorry if I'm being honest. Usato didn't come home."

"Huh?"

Me and Ferm leak a distracted voice to an unexpected answer.

... To be honest, I didn't think Nair would say that.

After Amako and this me, Usato, who is close to you. No way...!?

"'Cause Usato's going home, isn't he? Doesn't it look fun if you keep up with it?"

"... what? Were you going to follow me?"

"Hehe, I'm kidding. Jokes."

Hey, what's the joke?

But I don't think you're lying at all.

Be wary of Nair, who gracefully keeps his back on his back.

"Either way, Usat's gonna be tough"

"Other personnel..."

"Anyway, it's visible to be involved. You don't have to make a fuss."

To Nair, who looks like he gave up somewhere, I raise the jealousy gauge.

Something that I'm used to reacting to.

But Usato, I can only agree with you about the fact that this is going to be tough.

He will be in charge of mediation because of the circumstances in which he will be given time to rest, but also because of his friendship with the Demon King's Army side.

"Usato, you know all the Legion Chiefs over there..."

"You killed each other. And Armilla."

Can we still deepen mutual understanding by beating each other up?

It looks like it's around Koga or something.

"I mean, if I beat him up too, I'd have more friends?"

"Hey, Nair, this guy's thinking weird again."

"Ha, this brave man is no longer..."

That's when an electric shock runs in the back of my brain.

At the earliest possible moment, flashing the idea of heaven, the door of our living room is inadvertently opened.

"I already went home first...... that, seniors?"

"... Usato-kun!"

Looks like Usat, who finished his conversation with Lord Lloyd, picked up Nair and Ferm.

Before the two of us, I walk in front of him and I mouth the idea that just occurred to me.

"Me, can I join the lifeguard?!?"

"... you know, if you're tired, I think you should rest immediately...?"

Normally they've been nice...!?

So much so that I'm worried!?
