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

Well then, about the specifics for sending the letter Alfi, Ill leave it to you to tell Usato-dono .

Yes, as you command! Usato-sama and Amako-sama, right? This way, please .

A woman with flax colored hair done in braids and who wore clothes that resembled a scholars prompted us to go outside .

This was my first time meeting her . Ive visited the castle many times but I havent seen her before . Was she a person from the outside? Or maybe we passed each other by coincidence

After giving a bow to Lloyd-sama and the others, Amako and I followed the woman to a passage way in the castle . The woman in front of us had a spring in her steps and seemed to be in a good mood . She suddenly turned around and said,

Its our first time meeting, isnt it? Im Alfi and Ive been given the honor to be a scholar in this country . Well, I say Im a scholar but the range of what I research is quite large . To put it in simple terms, I compile a lot of literature on this countrys development . This was suggested by Lloyd as this country needed to build up knowledge which would help during emergencies In other words, you can basically think of me as someone who has a lot of free time! I dont mind! This time around, Ill be teaching the general geography of the countries to Usato-sama for the letter youll send . Ah, but its not that difficult . Ill make a proper route for you to follow so as long youre careful of monsters and banditsI estimate that you should reach your destination in several months .

Usato, this person will talk for a while .

In rapid succession, Alfi-san went over all the important topics while Amako was holding back her laughter and smiling . We kept on advancing as the conversation went on . This persons character was quite the strong one . But I would able to understand some important things now since Ill be able to learn the geography for the country Ill be sending my letter to .

Alfi led us to an area of the castle I hadnt seen before . When we reached somewhere with almost no windows, we stopped in front of a large gate made out of wood . Alfi turned around to smile at us and pointed towards the gate .

Its here . Its something like a private room reserved for me, I suspect the other rooms are occupied by my coworkers so dont feel reserved and come on in .

Haah .

As we were led into the room, there was an abundant amount of paper everywhere . The papers were stacked on top of each other and were so high that they reached the ceiling . It was quite the sight .

Alfi seemed to be making a path for us as she cleared away paper and prepared a table with chairs .

While I still felt bewildered by the room, Amako and I sat down on the chairs . Alfi was looking through a bookshelf and eventually took out a big book along with a large sheet of paper . Alfi brushed off the dust from what she brought out and said,

Now then, map map map . Its this . Yup, Ill start my explanation now .

Alfi spread out a somewhat crudely made map and started to explain .

Right now, were residing in this Lyngle Kingdom and its the place thats the closest to the territory of the Maou .

The green section that was shown on the map was probably the plains area where we had just fought against the Maou army recently . It was also where it divided the two territories . I could see that there was forest surrounding this Kingdom along with a few small villages sporadically spread out . It was definitely not a large country .

And beyond this plains area is a river . The Maou territory is just beyond that river and they also crossed that river last time to fight .

I see .

I should say this beforehand, its expected that Usato-sama and the heroes will be arriving at the same location for the first place that will be visited .

The same?

Wasnt it better to send us to different places since we were all sending letters out to somewhere else?

I understand your doubts . However, it will be a tough journey from Lyngle Kingdom so its necessary . Its important to place safety first and that applies to taking detours along the way . For this reason, it has been decided that your groups will first reach this placethe Magic City, Luquis .

The Magic City, Luquis . If I recall correctly, this place had one healing magician residing here . And according to Amako, there was also that one Beast Kin who helped her out here as well .

Of course, the letter will be handed to Luquis as well . They have a gathering of some of the greatest magicians across the continent . However, due to the identity of your magic attribute Youll be met with much discrimination so do take care, Usato-sama . . Im worried that youll carelessly start beating up students or something since Rose-sama was the one who taught you healing magic .

Amako couldnt help but laugh a little at Alfis somewhat playful statement .

But I wasnt laughing .

Thats quite the harsh joke . Im not that much of a monster .

Eh?

Just now, the person beside me gave something like an unexpected response . Ignore it, ignore it . Im definitely a human . I didnt have superhuman strength like Rose who could fling someone in the air like a pinball . I also wasnt a brute who would heal someone once they fainted and made them continue running .

Good grief, it was really weird for everyone in the Rescue Squad to think that I was the same as Rose .

Calling Rose-sama a monster Youre just as the rumors say . Well then, along with Luquis, your group will be sending letters to three countries .

Three huh, then along with the Beast Kin country, itll be four

Aah, thats not the case . The Beast Kin country is among the many other countries out there and if I have to say it theyre only known for two things . But in Usato-samas case, its a bit special and why were including this country as part of the route . Your final destination is still more or less Mialark . Right here .

Following the direction she was pointing with her finger, there was a large river that had a circular form in the middle . At the center of that was a mark of a country .

It was quite far from Lyngle Kingdom .

You will be handing a letter to the Queen that governs this place Ah, its here . Its in just a bit of a distance away from Luquis The Country of Prayer, Samariel .

Samariel

Hearing that name, Amako was startled as her tail was standing on its end . Was there something in this country? I wonder what it was . I had a really bad feeling for some reason .

This place here In a certain sense, it was the country that was the more cooperative with us They just dont like dealing with any non-humans .

To the point that its excessive, I take it?

Thats right . Which is why I want you to pay extra attention to Amako when you enter this country I think there should be no problems in entering the country but when youre getting an audience with the ruler Itd probably be better to not take her along . Were really sorry despite understanding these circumstances but still sending you there . Kazuki-sama and Inukami-sama are heading into a different direction from Samariel so

Its okay, you dont need to apologize . Just your thought of wanting to help us makes me happy .

The Country of Prayer huh? It seems like they are really religious Im an atheist so I shouldnt be influenced but it could turn out troublesome since Amako was a non-human .

Still, this is unexpectedly not much, isnt it? We only have to go to send letters to three countries .

Its because we dont have that much time . Well be sending other knights to the other countries to bear this important duty . The countries that the heroes and Usato-sama are being sent to The rulers all have difficult personalities and will be hard to please . However, if we receive their cooperation, it wouldnt be unreasonable to say that we would stand a chance against the Maou army .

. .

Which is why Lyngle Kingdom is dispatching important people like the heroes and Usato-sama . Its an action that shows our sincerity and good faith .

. It looks like I have a really heavy and important responsibility .

I dont know if sending me could be called showing sincerity to the other countries .

Thats due to your efforts . It seems like you havent noticed it, theres no one in this country who doesnt know you . Youre someone whos been saving people in the Rescue Squad after all . It should be to the extent that people in the foreign countries have heard rumors about you, dont you think? Whether they believe it or not is a different story

Even If Im famous, Im not happy at all

I gave a sigh as my shoulders drooped down . It would be nice if I could walk alone on the streets even with all these rumors

Well, Ill do something about it when the time comes .

Then, regarding the matter of the Beast Kin country To be honest, we dont know that much about them . You can take a ship in Mialark to the opposite shore but we dont know the geography beyond that .

It should be fine, Ill explain to Usato from there .

I see . If thats the case, Im relieved . Its a somewhat closed and isolated country so I only had materials from long ago to refer to .

That was to be expected . After all, it was a race that held the human population in bitterness . There was no chance for any exchange of information between them .

Still, this Beast Kin country was quite far . In that case, just how many people should I bring along? I was honestly planning of bringing just Bluerin and Amako who would be able to deal with various situations when push comes to shove . If possible, I just wanted people who were straightforward and capable .

For the journey, how many people should be taken along?

We want as few people as possible so about five people . But Usato-sama might want even fewer people . Im sure there are not many people who can keep up with you on the battlefield .

No, well Youre right but

She ended hitting it right on the mark .

This person really understood my thought process .

In addition We also had a discussion of the heroes accompanying you for when you head over to the Beast Kin country since the discrimination towards beast kin slaves have been really bad in the recent years . The heroes would be able to help you combat a lot of threats or attacks against Usato-sama but since youre taking Amako-sama along as well, the country might see this as some kind of ill intent by taking hold of a hostage Therefore, we decided against that and felt that one or two people accompanying you as the core should be sufficient .

No, in my case, I should be fine as long as I follow the knowledge and common sense taught to me by a certain person . I also feel that bringing too many people in the Beast Kin country would have an adverse effect .

Amako kept nodding at my words; it looks like I wasnt wrong . If that was the case, just who would be coming? It would be good if they were someone who wouldnt lose to a common bandit

. . Ah . If it was that person, I might be able to rely on them .

Err About the person to accompany me How about Ark Girdle-san?

Ark Girdle Ah, that gate guard! I see, him is it? He has an unexpected amount of extensive knowledge Yes, Usato-sama has good eyes .

If it was that cool guard with red hair, Ark-san, he wouldnt be defeated by a bandit and I could trust him since he protected the Rescue Squad during the war . Whats more was that he was a cheerful and straightforward person .

Afterwards, Ill try and receive confirmation to see if hell accept or not Erm, the explanation is now over Wait, I forgot Aaah . Its about the matter of what youll do after finishing your business in the Beast Kin country .

Afterwards? I see, we have to return here .

I completely forgot .

Thats right, we had to get back home . I just kept thinking of how to get to my destination that I forgot .

Coming back is simple . Return to Luquis again and from there youll come back . You could also give the letter when you return instead but as expected, that would be a bit

It sounds like a very wearisome journey back home

Well, compared to heading out on my journey it was easy, I guess? That was because I had an important duty to accomplish by sending the letters and I wouldnt know what might happen .

Alfi-san seemed to be done as she gave a bow and headed towards where Lloyd-sama to report .

Since we were done here, I should obediently accept it and go back .

I wanted to meet Senpai and Kazuki but Im sure they were having their own discussion of plans for their journey so maybe at another opportunity . Thankfully, there was still half a month left before heading out to send those letters .

*

And thats what happened .

Fuuuhn .

After escorting Amako back home to Salra-sans place, I told Rose about what I discussed with Lloyd-sama and everything else related to the matter as I watched Felm train .

They sure picked quite the troublesome country . Well, if its you, you should be fine .

Is it okay to be that carelessly optimistic about it?

What? Do feel you uneasy?

Seeing Roses smile, I could only give up in my mind and let out a sigh .

Compared to the first time I came here to train with Leader, Im not particularly worried .

Really? I bet youre just saying that .

W-wait, youre just ignoring me?

Leader gave a weird laugh as Felm who was doing push-ups and seemed to be in pain spoke up . Seeing her, I scratched my cheek in confusion . Rose was only sitting on her and yet why did it look like she was in so much agony? When I was at your stage, I was already bearing stone blocks along with Rose on top of me

Well, do your best . When I did this, it was even stricter for me .

!? . Kuh, if you can do it I can obviously do it too

As beads of sweat dripped down from her forehead, she started to frantically do push-ups . Rose shook her head in disbelief as she combed her hair upwards with her hand and crossed her legs .

Im about to take this one to the forest soon . During that time, Ill be counting on you to take care of the house .

. Isnt it a bit too soon?

This fellow is always up to something when it starts getting easier for her . For the moment, Ill throw her in a place where she cant be at ease .

This demon planned to forcefully correct someones laziness .

Well I guess it doesnt matter when, its the path everyone has to go through here .

It was special in your case . This one right here doesnt have enough guts so I plan to leave her there until the very last moment .

Felm was in a daze by doing push-ups so she was unaware but tomorrow she will learn how unreasonable Hell could be . But she probably wont experience something as cruel as me so it should be fine . Namu .

Kah . . Hah .

Due to the abrupt intensity of her push-ups, Felm crumbled down on the ground from exhaustion . Since Rose was sitting on top of her, Felm had to face the inevitable weight of Rose as she collapsed . It felt like Rose was sitting on a tatami seat with no resistance

. Dammit, again huh? How many times does this make it? Wake up, Im adding another 500 push-ups, you idler!

Gufueh .

Uwah Shes already fallen so many times but Rose is forcing her to get up every time

Rose stood up and started applying healing magic on Felms shoulder while shouting abusive words at her .

I should gradually hear something like a crying voice so I bowed to Rose in silence . I could always talk later . If I stayed here any longer, I felt I would be dragged in . I didnt have any problems with training but I would find it difficult and sad if Felm continued resenting me .

. Yeah, do your best .

As to whether or not she could hear my voice I would say probably not .
