The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Kalon, the hero of Mearaq, appeared before us.

When we were unable to move due to the overwhelming presence we felt from him, Usato-kun looked at him with annoyance and spoke to him in a somewhat irritated manner.

"What, are you sure you want me to leave my post in the first place?"

"Wait a minute, it's too early to be sarcastic. I have a serious coworker at my post, so I'll be fine.

"I can see that person having a very hard time ......"

"Shall I introduce you?　Or rather, I'll force you to introduce me when this battle is over."

"I don't like it."

Kalon gave a beaming smile to Usato-kun, who seemed to be deeply displeased with the situation.

However, his expression soon turned grim as he turned around to us, who were still in a state of shock and unable to move.

I had never intended to surprise him, but there was no opening at all for him. All I had was the feeling that if I attacked him, I would surely start a fight for my life.

"Now, I've come to see the enemy who has you cornered so far... ...... It looks like a human being, but what does that mean?　It also feels the same power as my armor. Strange."

""......!"""

"Just out of curiosity, are you guys my enemies?"

Kalon's body is enveloped in a flash of light.

When the light subsided, his head was covered with horns, his arms were covered with dragon scales, and his back was covered with powerful blue wings.

A brave man who has inherited the power of a divine dragon.

Kazuki-kun and I were ready to face the mighty power that we could see.

Seeing us, Usato stepped in front of Mr. Karon, who carried an axe on his shoulder.

"Mr. Karon, may I take care of these people?"

"You can't win this. Even if you use that thing, you'll be outmatched at best.

"...... I know."

Then let me handle this. You don't know it, but you look terrible.

Usato-kun seemed a little hesitant to say what Karon had just said.

But he still turns his back to us and looks up into Karon's face.

"This is the last time I'm going to use ...... water.

"Huh?"

Kalon, who has lost his intimidating presence, approaches Usato-kun with a look of surprise on his face.

Water?　What is he talking about?

"Hey, hey, what's this change of heart after we told you to stop using it so long?"

I think it's time for me to move on.

"...... I see."

At Usato-kun's words, Kalon returned his horns and scales to those of a human.

He put his hand on Usato's shoulder and continued to speak to her in a soothing voice.

"But even diluted to the utmost limit, the power of the fountain is immense. Don't let it consume you."

"...... yes."

"Okay, then I'll go ahead."

With that, he turned his back to us, took one last look at Kazuki and me, and then leapt to his feet, wings fluttering in the air.

He took a deep breath as he watched him fly away toward the castle, as if he were slicing through the night sky.

"Thank you very much. "Thank you, Mr. Karon."

He took out a small vial.

He opens the vial, takes a gulp, and throws the empty vial to the ground.

"Soooo ......"

His appearance changes.

His magical power overflows, veins float in his arms, and a puff of smoky magic rises from his body as he suppresses the urge that wells up inside of him.

A potion to increase his power?

A runaway of healing magic?

No, none of the above.

It's as if he's being infused with a powerful force, and he's forcing it down into his body..,

"Ooh!

With such an animalistic yell, Usato-kun leaps forward.

Losing his cool, he grabs Kazuki-kun's arm and leaps backward.

Just as he swings his fist down toward where I was, the ground shatters.

Kazuki-kun's eyes roll back in surprise as he sees the cratered ground.

"Senpai, is that ......?

"I don't understand it either!　That's a power we don't know!

Was it the contents of that vial?

He pulls his arm out of the ground, takes a deep breath, and raises his voice.

Come on!"

The voice echoes through the air, and you can't help but stiffen.

Why here?　I think to myself, but then the beast's yell comes toward me with an earth-shattering roar.

Gruaaaah!

What appears is a blue monster in tattered armor, a blue grizzly bear named Bulrin.

He is the same partner as he was in the original world, but he has many scars on his body, showing that he has fought together with Usato-kun on the battlefield.

But more than that, I---no, Kazuki and I---lost our voices when we saw that thing mounted on Bulrin's back.

"Thank you. "Thank you, Bulrin."

"Gru."

"I always take care of you, don't I? Don't worry, you just watch over me."

"...... guru."

He strokes Bulrin, smiles gently for a moment, and pulls a familiar long and small sword from his back.

They are the swords that Kazuki and I used in our first battle.

It is the proof of our existence in this world, which we would have held until our death.

Holding the long sword in his right hand and the small sword in his left, Usato-kun stares at us with a lowered stance.

"Try to stop me!"

The pure intent to kill is all I feel.

Kazuki and I, helplessly wanting to cry over this fact and the reality of the situation, ready our weapons.

I was so sad.

Rumors of a healing wizard whispered among the demon king's army.

A "kidnapper" who takes the wounded faster than anyone can follow.

Who never cower from any wound or attack.

"Take a blow from the Second Commander!"

"Goha!　Gobbowl!　Gobbowl!

>

Before my eyes is an evil dragon that did all its tyranny long ago.

Its wings flapping wide, purple breath escaping from the corners of its mouth, it was more fearless than any demon I had ever seen, and yet it was as complete as a work of art.

Even I, a powerless person, can understand how hopeless it is to fight against such an out-of-this-world existence.

But, however. There were people who were not at all intimidated by such an existence, but were willing to stand up against it.

"You're still the same talking lizard!"

I stand corrected when I called him normal.

He is probably just another monster in human skin.

Humans are a race inferior to us demons in physical abilities and magic.

Such a human being could not possibly go head-to-head against a demon tribe.

And moreover..,

"Put your back into it, Koga!　You're still okay!

Enough!

--- you wouldn't believe it if you were shown the spectacle of Mr. Koga spinning around and slamming into a big dragon.

I was forced to watch the scene from the shadows while hugging Keira, the girl whose name I had just heard.

"Oh, wow ......, is that guy ...... such a horrible species of human being?"

"......Usato-san......"

He looked like a normal boy.

An ordinary looking boy, more like me.

However, when I opened the door, I found that Mr. Koga's evaluation was too accurate.

"Geehaa!　Usato!　He's so hard!　I'm hurting!

"Don't worry, I'll cast a healing spell!"

Where am I supposed to put my mind at ease?　Where am I supposed to be relieved?　Do you really hate me?

Yes!

Wow, that's a hell of a smile.

Well, it can't be helped if you're almost like a stalker, Mr. Koga.

Still, his smile was so strong that even Mr. Koga's cheeks twitched.

"I hate you too!"

Then you don't have to be merciful!

No!

The boy called Usato attacks the evil dragon, swinging his right hand lightly around Koga's leg, which is covered with black magic.

He turns his face into a frightening expression as he moves toward the evil dragon.

"Son of a b*tc*!　I'll transform you as you wish!

Koga's magical power grows as he is swung around by Usato, and he transforms into a cudgel with a thick tip.

Turning it skillfully, Usato slams Mr. Koga into the side of the evil dragon, which opens its large mouth to bite him.

"Good!　Koga!　Keep it up!

"Yes!　This is the power of the Second Commander!

<>

A large claw is swung at Usato, who shakes off Mr. Koga.

A mere human would have been crushed by the blow.

I put my hand over my mouth and let out a scream, but the next thing I saw was Usato, who swung his right arm with great force, repelling the evil dragon's claw with an unnatural force.

"A healing bullet!　And then, spinning the magic power!"

The green light from his right arm instantly shifted to his leg, and he leapt at a tremendous speed---Koga-san slammed into the Evil Dragon's jaw as if he was going to hit it.

The other dragon seems to be bewildered by the unexpected attack, and does not seem to be able to respond.

<>

The evil dragon begins to lash out in anger.

Koga-san shouted at Usato, who was distraught and tried to escape from the evil dragon, which was waving its arms widely.

"Usato, throw me to him!

"Okay!"

Without hesitation, Usato throws Mr. Koga to the evil dragon.

The evil dragon naturally tries to knock him down, but just before the attack hits, Mr. Koga releases his transformation and strikes the evil dragon in the eye with his transformed left arm.

Then, as if to follow up on this, Usato leaps high into the air and delivers a powerful flying kick, knocking the Evil Dragon out of its stance at once.

"If he falls down, I'm all yours!"

I'm going to beat him while he's still alive!

>

The Evil Dragon lets out a cry of rage.

Koga-san and Usato, however, close their big mouths by kicking them at the same time, and strike at them without question.

"Oh, oh, you're so lively!　I'm still going to have fun!　Hey!

Don't you dare bother people!　Hey!　Spit out your poison while you still can!

The demons and humans (?) who are not afraid to attack the fallen evil dragons. .

I don't know which one of them is the monster anymore.

"Um, is that guy a dark wizard ......?"

"Huh?　Yes. Yes, he is.

"I see. ......"

Keira stares at Koga-san and Usato, who are pounding their legs and fists on the evil dragon.

I wonder if it's okay for children to see that.

I seriously wonder if it is not good for their education.　I'm afraid it's not good for their education.

"Usato-san, he fights like that. He fights with dark wizards."

Maybe you are fighting with a dark wizard by mistake. ......?

What, why are your eyes shining?　Are we now being shown a moment when a naive little girl goes astray?

Don't be fooled!　She's a healing magician!"

"Isn't he a good man who can heal ...... injuries?"

"No, that's true, but don't you think anything of it when you see ...... him?

"No, not really."

"Yeah. ......"

"Because you are Mr. Usato. I'm not afraid of you now."

Ah, the Demon Lord. I don't understand the sensibilities of children these days.

As I was getting confused, a fearless cry came from the direction of the evil dragon.

With that, I notice that the air around me is being drawn in.

>

A purple smoke of poison flowed out of its big mouth as if it was going to spit it out on the ground.

Mr. Koga is avoiding the smoke with a little time to spare, but an avalanche of poison smoke is coming toward the place where Keira and I are.

Usato, seeing them, turns toward us and jumps.

"Don't move from there!"

He holds his right hand to his hip and begins to gather magic power in his palm.

As we are wondering what the healing wizard is going to do, he shoots a distorted, expanding magic bullet from his palm forward.

"What are you doing with healing magic?

"Healing blast wave!"

At that moment, there was a roar that could have been mistaken for an explosion, and the poisonous smoke that was about to engulf us was instantly blown away.

I could not open my mouth.

In a space filled with sparkling green magic, Usato looks back at us.

"Keira, are you okay?

"Usato-san, can I do that ...... now?"

"This technique is dangerous, don't try it."

He laughed at Keira's words and said as if to rebuke her.

Mr. Koga, who had avoided the poisonous smoke, landed next to him.

"Hyuh, that was close, close!"

"I think you should be more worried about me, Mr. Koga."

I bet he forgot I existed.

Why am I being protected by a healing wizard who is an enemy and not an ally?

"He's very durable. Our attacks are barely penetrating. Is it really a creature?

...... No, it's too weak.

Huh?

"If this is an evil dragon in its prime, it's only as strong or slightly stronger than the zombies we fought. Is that a real evil dragon?

Usato muttered quietly and faced the evil dragon that was still glaring at them.

I don't know what he's thinking, and I don't know what he's really going to do.

It was a healing wizard who was even a symbol of fear for the demon king's army.
