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

Chapter 56



Well Cheer up, Usato-kun .

I-it was the first time that Ive seen you fight but, Usato, you were really amazing .

After the practical class had ended, the three of us were led to the dining hall . The dining hall was quite spacious, as youd expect from a magic school this large . I quickly ate my meal and was currently taking a breather . My thoughts naturally went back to the mock battle I just had .

I cant believe how careless I was .

How could I be so thoughtless Im ashamed of myself

These two next to me were heroes who could use amazing magic . In my case, I used healing magic which had a bad name attached to it . I also couldnt really call myself a magician with how I just fought .

I wouldnt be surprised if bad rumours about me were already being spread .

Its our fault too . If we thought about it carefully, we wouldnt have participated in something so unfavourable for you, Usato .

I couldnt control my own emotions and went with the flow . I apologize .

Dont apologize, please . I still decided to participate on my own .

I replied as the two of them tried to take on the blame .

It was wrong to blame them . The problem now was that I didnt know what kind of influence I would have on the school due to my actions . One thing that comes to mind was The other healing magician might receive even harsher treatment .

. First of all, I should discuss about the other healing magician with these two .

I started to explain about what happened just before they met with me today . Kazuki seemed to be in thought as he listened to me . Inukami-senpai was folding her arms and deeply pondering something as she tilted her head sideways .

What do you want to do?

Senpai suddenly asked .

Eh?

Do you want to save that other healing magician? Or do you want to stop others from bullying him?

Although these two phrases sounded like the same thing, it was completely different in meaning .

The former would ensure that there would be no more harm done to him while the latter was only a temporary solution We had to decide between them and make a plan accordingly .

Honestly, I dont really know . Just, Im not someone who turns a blind eye to someone when they obviously need help .

. Well, I couldnt just do nothing either when the other students were treating you like a fool, Usato-kun . Its a little different from your situation but its also similar .

You can boldly say such embarrassing words, huh

I think of you as a precious friend, so its natural .

Hearing Senpais sudden words, I put a hand over my mouth and turned away .

Senpai looked like she was about to tease me and say Oh, youre embarrassed? but Kazuki made eye contact with her and non-verbally expressed Just stop it

How could this happen? How could I receive such a surprise attack from this deplorable Senpai of mine?

Her methods were far too despicable and cowardly .

As I was still facing the opposite way of Senpai, she put her hand on my shoulder and got me to turn around . She was displaying a gentle expression and it looked like she remembered something .

I have a bad feeling about this . It felt it would something troublesome again

Ah, that reminds me, Usato-kun . About the place youre staying at today

No can do .

Why cant you just go with the flow and say OK! Look, Im a good Senpai!

You were really going to say that about yourself?

You have the inns gorgeous meals and beds, just bear with it .

I dont need those! I just just want to live a life with Fantasy in it!

You dont need to worry about that . Everything youve been saying and doing so far is already full of Fantasy .

She seemed so honest when she spoke just now .

While feeling overwhelmed by her excitement, I sighed . Convincing her to give up would be difficult .

All of a sudden, she grabbed onto both my shoulders . People around us started looking in our direction .

Wai . . Just calm down for a moment . Its not like Im bullying you or anything, you know?

Kiriha told me to ask you, Usato!

What!? When did you make contact with her!?

Was it during the training!? Either way, I cant believe I overlooked this!

Moreover, Kiriha was pushing everything onto me!

Senpai, please calm down! Youre making things difficult for Usato, please stop it!

Kazuki shouted out to stop Senpai . He was probably thinking itd be bad if we gathered any more attention .

Senpai would usually give in at this point, but it looked like she was being stubborn this time .

I wont stop . I wont back away this time Hmm?

Senpai who was still grabbing onto my shoulders, tilted her head to the side and looked behind me .

She was being so unreasonable just a moment ago but now it seemed like she recovered . Was there someone behind me? I turned around .

Fufufu, it looks like youre having fun .

Just what on earth are you two doing

The woman with golden hair, Gladis-san, along with Welsey-san who was following behind her The two of them looked at me and Senpai with strange eyes .

Did they have something to discuss with us? They sat down beside Kazuki .

At least it didnt seem like they came here to eat .

I came here to apologize to the three of you .

Apologize? Why?

Nothing comes to mind .

Why were we receiving an apology from Gladis-san? In fact, I should be the one apologizing for causing such a commotion in class .

Despite how we were gathering attention from the surrounding students, she didnt mind it and continued to talk,

After your group left yesterday, I gathered all the teachers here to talk about the Maou army and the cooperation with Lyngle Kingdom .

Is it related with why youre apologizing?

Did we receive an unfavourable result?

About that A few of the teachers felt that some of the contents in the letter are contradictory . Are the heroes really that amazing? Enough to drive away the Maou army? Thats one of the doubts . Theyre suspicious of your true strength . They also cant trust you, they dont believe that the heroes would come themselves to protect the students here .

. Although we are messengers from Lyngle, we are just strangers . I dont mind that were being suspected .

But you see, thats just the surface . In truth, everyone is actually afraid . The Magic army here has never fought the Maou army, something that has only been heard from old stories . They seem like a powerful enemy . Thats why theyre desperately denying it However, if Lyngle had lost the recent battle with the Maou army They would attack Luquis next .

That was obvious .

If you thought about it carefully, the Maou army would appear with even more force to attack Luquis once Lyngle falls in their hands . Luquis was a place full of inexperienced magicians . I dont think they would stand much of a chance against the Maou army .

I was sure Gladis-san understood that too .

No matter how much I tried to elevate your true strengths, they wouldnt believe me . Welsey and I could only give up on such an unreasonable negotiation .

Was that why you had us participate in the training with the other students?

You noticed?

When Usato-kun was fighting, I noticed there were quite a few people spectating outside . I had a good guess as to why because of that .

So that was what she meant when she said it was a Demonstration . As expected, she was sharp and noticed these things . At times like this, she was really reliable .

But I really wish they told me beforehand . Even if it was necessary, it still took me a lot of effort to fight against Halfa-san . I definitely gathered too much attention as well, with what I used in that fight .

. No, this person probably planned this . They wanted to gather this much attention .

Gladis-san covered her mouth and chuckled after listening to Senpais words . Gladis-sans actions made her feel like someone with wisdom yet also someone with a bit of playfulness .

I really feel sorry for not saying anything . But you exceeded my expectations, the teachers who raised objections before could only remain silent once they saw your true ability Fufufu, I really didnt think you would destroy that target with your bare hands .

Yup, it definitely wasnt normal for someone to get their arm stuck in that target and try to pull away .

Since I trained every day, I was able to tell that I was getting stronger . But I didnt expect to become this strong . It made me realize once again just how important it was to continue practicing the basics every day .

As I felt convinced of myself, Welsey-san seemed to remember something and abruptly slammed the table with her hand . She then looked at me with frantic eyes and said,

Usato-sama! Didnt I say it just yesterday!? Its dangerous to add more power to your own magic like that!! But you used it Used it in such a reckless way Its definitely the wrong way to use it!

Erm, Welsey-san . How about thinking it this way? Its my way of fighting .

Please dont say something that Rose would say!

I still hadnt reached that persons level yet . I was still fine .

If I continued to say more unnecessary words, I would just be lectured . I let Welsey-san calm down .

I asked a question that was on my mind to Gladis-san .

Did Halfa-san move according to your instructions?

Yes, but the girl who spoke and challenged you in the beginning wasnt part of it . Halfa-san was the only one cooperating .

That girl in the beginning wasnt part of it That was why Halfa-san interfered when the girl suggested the mock battle . Then what about Carla-san? Was she an accomplice?

But I had a feeling that someone like her could receive permission to do almost anything if she just talked to you .

. Im really glad I left it to him . If it were a magician other than him, it would have ended before we could see your true abilities . . As expected from her subordinate though . Theres no way her subordinate could be ordinary . She can easily send people to the skies with just her fists, after all .

. Hahaha, Ive still got a long way to go . I was beaten all over with a recent training I did with her . It was 10 times harder than my fight with Halfa-san . And you know what? Even though I succeeded in dodging her punch, she just used a roundhouse kick on me anyways . So unreasonable, right? Well, Im just talking to myself . Dont mind it .

At first I thought I would die . But once I got used to it, it wasnt so bad .

Although it felt more like my body started getting numb from the pain than anything else

. I-I see

Usato-sama, you are

Eh? This was where you were supposed to laugh .

Wow, just how much power does Rose have?~ I was expecting a reaction like that Gladis-san who was smiling just a moment ago had returned back to her serious expression . Welsey-san was looking at me with eyes that said Really, just how on earth are you still alive?

Rose-san is incredible

Just what is that person? I wonder

Kazuki and Senpai gave their individual reactions . I created a really weird and awkward atmosphere .

T-that reminds me, Gladis-san . I have a request .

What is it? As long as its not too excessive and within my power then

Bluerin . I mean, the familiar that I have with me . Do I need to receive permission to walk with him in town?

There are a lot of students with familiars here so I dont mind .

Alright, Ive received permission .

Just you wait, Bluerin . Your days of indulging in laziness are over . Ill make sure you run tomorrow .

I felt slightly pumped at knowing I would be able to do something training with Bluerin . But for some reason, Welsey-san nervously called out to me .

Erm, Usato-sama . Bluerin isnt a familiar, you know?

Eh, is that so?

How could this be?

Then what would Bluerin be?

What do you mean, Welsey?

Gladis-san questioned .

Err, that is to say Usato-sama doesnt have a familiar contract . Or its more accurate to say that its not necessary .

Not necessary?

A familiar contract, did it literally mean there would be a real contract? I didnt have anything complicated like a contract with Bluerin But what did she mean by not necessary?

A familiar contract is formed by mixing both the familiars blood with the masters . It acts an intermediary . Additionally, it requires for the familiar to completely yield to their master . These are the strict requirements required .

Yes, there are a lot of required steps to form a contract with a familiar

There were so many bothersome steps and requirements to form a contract? I guess you couldnt just sign a paper and be done with it like that .

But I didnt want to control Bluerin like that . He definitely wouldnt want to submit to me either . Even without that, he wouldnt do anything to betray me .

Usato-sama and Bluerin dont have a master and servant relationship . Let see Their relationship is closer to being good friends .

Heeh, thats quite incredible . The familiar in question What type of monster is it?

Its a Blue Grizzly .

. . Nn?

? . . Its a Blue Grizzly .

For some reason, Gladis-san didnt respond so I repeated my answer . After repeating it, she was still silent . Welsey-san showed an as expected expression and hid under her arms .

Why did it feel like I was the weird one here?

Since I didnt understand what was going on, I could only question it .

I remembered that Uluru-san said that Blue Grizzlies usually didnt stick with people . Was that why? Or was it that it was too dangerous of a monster to take as a familiar?

W-well as long as its not dangerous, then its fine . Just be careful and pay attention so it doesnt act violently .

Yes, I understand . If that were to come though, Ill subdue him myself .

. Normally, I would doubt one saying that and think theyre lying . But strangely, when youre the one saying it, I dont think so It really is amazing

I thought I heard Gladis-san mumble something just now Was it just my imagination? At any rate, I received permission to walk around with Bluerin .

Senpai, Kazuki, what are you two going to do now?

Let see, how about going to Bluerins place? Since we received permission, lets go meet him .

Im feeling a little tired so Im heading back to the inn . Yeah . Have fun with Usato, Senpai .

Kazuki was heading back first . I was a little worried to go with just Senpai but she had a point . We should go meet with Bluerin . Before that, I also had to go pick up the luggage I left back at the inn .

Well, thats how it is . Well be going back .

Yes, come again if youd like . . Thats right, there will be a mock battle competition in a week . I think youll be able to see a lot of different magic, so if youre interested, please do come .

One week, huh

As for the letter, were still having a discussion over it . You three might be bored during this time so, come if you feel like it .

A mock battle competition . It seems interesting .

We bowed to Gladis-san and left the school .

Just you wait, Bluerin Dont think that you can just sleep all day .

*

Usato-sama and the others were leaving the dining hall .

I watched over as Principal Gladis sent them off . After making sure that they had all left, I voiced the doubt I had .

Was it really a good idea to not talk about it?

I dont need to worry about him . Theres no need to say anything right now . The mock battle between him and Halfa, it was to convince the teachers but we dont need to tell him the other reason yet

Of course, the other teachers recognized everyones strength . It was a splendid result . Suzune-samas overwhelming offensive ability, Kazuki-samas precise control over his light magic, and finally Usato-samas healing magic that allowed him to surpass a human beings power and speed .

But even I didnt expect him to use so much reinforcement against Halfa . It was part of the reason why I felt shivers down my spine as I was watching him .

.

Strength, magic power, and race . We need a trigger to reform the students who are biased against these three things, Welsey . For that reason, I got Halfa with his magic eyes to fight against a healing magician such as Usato .

Halfa-san and Usato-samas fight wasnt a coincidence .

Originally, instead of Usato-sama, it should have been Suzune-sama or Kazuki-sama fighting . Principal Gladis purposely chose Usato-sama for the other students to see .

. Magic that cant do anything but heal . Magic that cant do anything but see the flow of magic . Even though they are different, they are also similar . This battle had value because these two fought against each other and showed the students No, the people who live here, what is possible .

It was a mock battle to change how people viewed magic .

You could it was effective . The students who possessed strong or rare magic would despise other magic That was exactly why they would understand they still had a long way to go when they saw the magic they despised had greatly surpassed them .

It was an overbearing method but I couldnt think of anything more effective than this .

However, even though the letter was one reason for this mock battle, I felt pained for not telling Usato-sama and the others .

Fufufu Usatos actions are truly unexpected . Despite how I went to the trouble of arranging an inn for him, he stayed at another place Whats more, you told me that the houses inhabitants are actually beast kin Even though the people that live here detest them Really, hes such a strange child .

A-ahahaha . .

Principal Gladis giggled while I gave a strained laugh .

The three of them who had been summoned from another world really had different views from us . They experienced and saw everything in this world with excitement in their eyes, they were like children .

Especially The beast girl, Amako, who was together with Usato-sama . It made him look very dependable . Seeing a beast girl like her together with Usato-sama, it was normally something I would never be able to see .

Its because he doesnt avoid other races that I want him to change this countrys mistaken ideology . No matter what magic you possess, you can make it shine . It would be a waste of your talents to not polish it . As long as you desire it, you can grow I want them to understand that .

Principal Gladis who had been left in charge to look after this city Her eyes looked very gentle at this moment .

She knew that everyone wanted immediate results and were impatient . She aimed to improve this schools environment at all times but she couldnt make any careless moves when considering her position . Which was exactly why she was borrowing some power from another country She intended to make it so others officially recognized his power .

But her gentle expression quickly became sullen as she put her hand on her forehead .

The problem is whether or not that child that viewed the mock battle today would think the same way

*

After saying goodbye to Gladis-san and Welsey-san, we walked to the inn . Once we separated with Kazuki at the inn, we then headed in the direction where Bluerin, Amako, and the other knights were .

As we walked, Senpai was in an awfully good mood . I was worried she would get distracted and run off to look at some weird merchandise again .

The boy who is a healing magician like you, he was part of the juniors class that was present for the training right?

Yeah, he was surprised when he saw me . Do you think he was shocked to see another healing magician? He recognized my face too .

He was probably astonished to see how different you were from him . Hes probably never seen a healing magician like you who could fight like that, after all . Dont you finally know the reason why Carla-san wanted you to tell them youre a healing magician?

That was one way of looking at it .

I was aware I wasnt the same as the other healing magicians . It would explain why Carla-san had that expression during the mock battle .

But when the boy was knocked unconscious, why was he in such a hurry? Because he was late for class? It was strange . If I was bullied for several years, I wouldnt want to go to class . If there was another reason

No, I shouldnt try to come up with any weird reasons .

Senpai didnt say anything as I was lost in thought and we walked in silence . It was some time around noon so there were a lot of people on the streets . When the others saw me and Inukami-senpai, they would move away and create a path . They also seemed to be whispering to each other .

My white uniform especially stood out . It was obvious since it was designed to stand out . But it still annoyed me during times like this .

Your uniform is really conspicuous .

Would it be better for me to remove it?

No no, theres no need . Your uniform not only looks good but I know theres a proper meaning behind it and thats why youre wearing it . Actually, I want to wear it too .

You cant .

I didnt mind lending it but I heard that there wasnt another one like mine . Other than Roses uniform, there wasnt another uniform like this right now . I didnt know what materials were used to make this either .

But I knew just from feeling the cloth that no ordinary fabric was used to make this

Usato-kun . In front .

Yes?

Senpai urged me to look in front . Looking at the place she was looking at, I could see a crowd of people in a familiar-looking alley way . Up ahead was where I found the unconscious boy, who was also the only other healing magician in this city .

. I had a bad feeling about this .

Lets go!

Eh, aah, Usato-kun!?

I immediately ran towards the alley way and rushed over to the crowd . I pushed my way past the others . I heard a thunderous sound It sounded like an explosion .

Hearing an explosion here was definitely not normal . I imagined the worst possible scenario in my mind I had to hurry .

I recognized one of the spectators from this morning and went up to him .

Y-youre that person from this morning with those weird clothes

What happened!!

T-the group that was bullying that boy this morning are doing it again . And this time, theyre going at it more than usual

Was it my fault?

I really didnt think they would do something this fast . If they wanted to vent their anger, wouldnt it been fine to just come directly for me?

I felt something boiling inside of me . But I was calm . I first had to get past these spectators .

Senpai! Im going ahead!

Usato-kun!!

I jumped along the walls of the alley way and made it past the onlookers instantly . I heard people exclaiming in surprise but I didnt have the composure to care at the moment .

After landing, I could clearly see the open space in front of me .

In the center was that healing magician boy That was The twin tailed girl who challenged me to a mock battle!? There was also a group of both boys and girls surrounding the healing magician .

If you were hiding your true ability, why dont you show it already?

. Im . different

In the girls hand wasnt a fireball . It was an orb that was slightly orange in color . The surrounding group had evil-looking smiles The girl then aimed and fired the orb at the boy .

Looking at the boy, he looked worse than when I had seen him in the morning . Judging by his current state He was completely out of magic!?

Dont you know what would happen if you launched your magic at someone who was completely out of magic!? Did she really understand!?

This is bad . !

I hurriedly took off my uniform, wrapped it in my right hand, and began running at full speed .

After only a few moments, I arrived in front of the boy and used my right hand that was wrapped with my uniform to stop the oncoming orb . Using just a flick, I deflect the orb . The orange orb exploded and it caused a bit of black smoke to form .

Hah!?

However, this magic wasnt much . It wasnt powerful enough to burn my uniform and if a person took this head on with magic, it wouldnt cause a big injury .

Shaking off the black smoke from my hand, I turned around to look at the boy instead of the group of students in front of me . He looked befuddled at me as expected and I started to operate healing magic in my hands .

It looks like you really exhausted all your magic Im surprised youre still conscious and holding on .

W-why . . Are you The same as me .

It looked like he had reached his limit . The boy fainted as I was applying healing magic on him . He suffered from some light burns Was he beaten? His face had bruises all over . When I rolled up his sleeves, there were countless wounds . .

The problem was the injuries were so bad that a healing magician like him couldnt heal them . Just how many minutes, no, how many hours was he tormented for? It was possible that this group headed straight for him once the mock battle had ended .

Hey Can you like not get in the way?

First of all, I should restore all his fatigue .

If I dont heal him properly, these injuries could become permanent damage .

But I was really surprised that they allowed magic to be used so freely like this . The knights in Lyngle had proper morals to follow I wasnt saying that the students should only use magic for their country, but there were still things a person shouldnt do .

Hey!

Aah . . ?

I was getting irritated . I couldnt help but respond with a rougher tone .

The boy who had called out to me and put his hand on my shoulder He drew back in silence once he saw my face .

If you didnt like something about me, why didnt you just directly tell me instead . ?

I-its a misunderstanding Hes my friend . Since youre not related, could you step away?

I see, not involved Hah

This was it .

It was already useless . I didnt know what to do anymore .

Wouldnt it just be fine to knock all of them unconscious?

. That was way too simple so lets not do that . While trying to calm down and telling myself countless times to keep cool, I looked at the group in front of me . Especially at the girl who threw the orb just now .

Five people Huh .

Healing magic, you see . Its not something convenient for you to vent your anger out with, dont you know?

I learned .

I came to respect the pain from hell .

The magic that I learned from her, I was able to use it to save a lot of people .

This magic was ABSOLUTELY NOT a substitute for a sand bag .

Its also not a magic that exists purely to boost your own worthless pride . You know, even though I was irritated because of you, I just calmed myself Despite how you tried to cast that explosion of yours directly on someones body . It would have caused quite the injury but I guess someone as ignorant as you wouldnt know, right?

Ignorant, you say?

You really say some cheeky things .

Did you really think such a flimsy lie like saying you were his friend would get me to back off?

You thought it was enough for me to overlook this?

You think I would forgive you as long you showed an innocent expression?

For a healing magician thats just tagging along with the heroes Dont get too cocky

My superior, thats also a healing magician, once said this .

I didnt think my personality was like this . Unexpectedly, I got angry pretty easily . Back in my world, I rarely got angry for real . Besides, the shitty people in front of me were something I thought I would only see in a bad movie .

But, this really wouldnt do . Unlike the time when Felm tried to kill Senpai and Kazuki It was obvious that a different kind of anger was spreading within my heart .

Seeing a nearby tree, I placed my left hand on it and put my strength into it . The section I was inserting power in was conspicuously distorted, and the entire tree shook .

During a time when you meet people who look down on healing magic and there are no other means to resolve the situation Feel free to beat them up . Thats what she said . You see? Im referring to you guys Also, calling him your friend Thats a nice phrase and a good excuse, right?

Crush .

Grabbing a hold of some wood in my hands, I crushed it and allowed the pieces to fall onto the ground .

With just that, it was enough to cause the assertive girl just a moment ago to withdraw in fear .

You mentioned that Im just a healing magician tagging along with the heroes Or something like that, right? Do you want to meet the same fate as this unconscious boy here? Youre just a little girl who cant do anything without ganging up on someone

I took a step forward . Her face got even paler . It looked like some of them were about to cry . Once I saw that, I slowly relaxed myself a bit more and eased the current tension .

. I threatened them this much theyll probably behave themselves for a bit . I imitated a bit of Roses tone for the last few statements . It seemed extremely effective .

I wasnt childish enough to raise my hands on these kids just based on my emotions . Speaking from my own experience, they probably wont rebel back any time soon after tasting this kind of fear .

I had finally threatened someone like this It would have been nice if I could have brought Bluerin along too to further increase the effectiveness .

. But I really didnt want to threaten people if I could help it . Was this issue settled for the time being? Now I just had to take this unconscious boy and put him in a bed

Usato-kun, calm down .

Nn?

Senpai had finally emerged from the crowd of people and put her hand on my shoulder, telling me to calm down .

She came at just the right time, I just settled the situation . I wanted to consult her for advice as to what to do with these students

Aah, Senpai . Right now Im

It seems like you guys really hold a grudge or something against healing magicians . Good grief, if your true ability only amount to this, then youve convinced me of how mediocre you all are .

However, she didnt listen to my words and turned over to look at the twin tailed girls group . She threw down some very provocative words as well .

Senpai, dont tell me You really thought I snapped from anger?

Senpai walked triumphantly in front of me . While the twin tailed girl was somewhat afraid of the blunt Senpai, she also looked angrily at her .

Usato-kun and I are both outsiders here . We have also been entrusted with an important mission that concerns the countrys future Thats why you guys cant do anything to him Im sure youre mortified but . . Dont misunderstand and get ahead of yourselves though, were not the ones who will put you guys down .

You guys cant do anything to him Senpai had a faint smile as she said that .

I understand why she was angry Although, it made me happy that Senpai was paying attention to me despite how she was struggling with the crowd back there .

W-what are you talking about!?

Isnt there a mock battle competition one week from now?

! Theres no way I could win! Not against that monster and the heroes!!

Hey .

Hiiih!?

Despite how you were calling me a monster, your reaction was strange . At the very least, you didnt think of me as a person .

The girl was being unreserved and just labelling me as a monster . I guess it couldnt be helped, she already considered me as an enemy

Leaving that aside, Senpai mentioned the mock battle competition . Wasnt it different from todays unofficial battle? I suspect only official students would be able to take part in it .

Usato-kun and I wont be heading out there . It will be the boy that you guys just tormented .

. Ha, haah? Youre saying that guy thats on the ground right now will be able to win against me?

Wait a minute I couldnt understand Senpais intention at all . If he fought against them, it would be a completely one-sided game . The boy was unconscious right now and didnt even agree to anything . I didnt really have the right to speak out right now either since I just threatened them .

The girl was looking down on the boy that had collapsed on the ground . She then glared at Senpai but it had no effect . Senpai lightly smiled before telling me her plan,

Make him stronger than everyone else in a week Usato-kun, thats what you will be doing .

Hah? . . Haah!?

Im the one doing it!?

Throwing such a thing at me without warning, I would obviously be surprised . I lowered my voice and said to Senpai,

J-just wait a minute, please . What are you trying to say?

This is the best way to resolve this situation . Its a little drastic but I couldnt think of a better method than this .

Thats true but

Furthermore, the person who understands healing magic the best in this city right now is you .

Training him? Just seven days . . No, he fainted so there was no way he could do anything today . We also had to account for the fact that he couldnt do any training on the day of the competition . In reality, we only had five days .

As for the training itself, itll probably be impossible to accomplish anything unless he goes through the same type of training as me .

But . . If I were asked if there were any better methods to stop the bullying, then I really couldnt think of any You had to use your own strength and to stop the bullying . In a way, this was the best way for this boy to resolve this but also the most difficult .

I remained silent as I understood what Senpai was trying to say . Senpai turned around and continued to provoke the other party .

Whether you accept or decline, its up to you . . If youre scared of losing to a healing magician like him then I dont mind if you decline, you know?

Hah, what a joke . Prepare yourselves for the consequences when that person loses . . Whether youre the heroes or the messengers from Lyngle Kingdom, it doesnt matter compensation . When I win, Ill demand it from you I have to! Just try your best to make that failure over there stronger .

After leaving those words, she laughed in a mocking manner and left with her group . They walked past the alley way and disappeared into the main streets .

All that was left were the spectators, the unconscious boy, and the two of us . Thinking that I got caught up in something troublesome again, I sighed .

Well~ I was really panicking when I saw that you lost your cool, Usato-kun . Now she wont try and do anything to you, Usato-kun . The letter shouldnt be affected too .

Wait

Ouch!?

For the time being, I sent a light sword chop with my hand on Senpai who tried to continue the conversation without me . I knew Senpai did it with good intentions in mind but I wouldnt feel satisfied if I didnt do this .

W-what are you doing!?

Senpai had tears in her eyes as she said so even though I only lightly chopped .

It made me feel like I was doing something wrong but I ignored it and started my explanation .

Senpai, although I was angry, I had no intentions of doing anything to them .

Eh? . Ha, hahaha But you had such a scary face

I was thinking about just lightly threatening them .

Lightly . ?

Thats gotta be a lie, right? His expression was like an ogres . Ive seen it before, I read a book on it .

He took a chunk of the trees trunk with his bare hands Unless youre a beast kin, thats not the type of strength a human possesses

Beast kin? Could it be hes one of them?

. .
