The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

27 - Twenty-seventh Episode

The next day, the king himself announced that the Demon King's army was advancing, and the word spread throughout the kingdom. The soldiers cowered nervously and the people grew anxious.

The king's countermeasure against the Demon King's army was to intercept the Demon King's army in the plain area.

Under the command of Mr. Sigurth, the Commander of the Royal Knights, he commanded an army led by two brave men, Kazuki and Inukami. Whether or not they could win the war is not certain, but the presence of the heroes and the lifeguards could definitely be the deciding factor between victory and defeat in this war.

In other words, the responsibility lies on my shoulders as well, as I am in the vanguard. It would have been unimaginable when I was an ordinary high school student in the original world.

After the King's proclamation, all of us in the rescue squad were gathered into the cafeteria by Rose.

We are gathered, but Rose doesn't say anything. She was standing in front of us with her arms folded and her eyes closed thoughtfully, as if waiting for something.

"Sister, what the ........."

Alec, who is getting impatient, asks a question in a reserved manner.

"Hmm? ...... Oh, I'm waiting for someone who hasn't come yet."

"Not here?"

<>

Two men and a woman come into the cafeteria. Olga and Uluru, so Rose has been waiting for them.

Uluru-san looks around nostalgically and gives a friendly smile and a small wave when he catches sight of me. ...... I don't know what to say back to him.

"You've come at a good time. Sit down."

"Yes."

"Okay. It's been a long time, guys.

Uluru-san greets Tong and the others casually, as if he has no fear. He's an amazing guy, even though they are so strong that normal girls would run away screaming. But when he is in the same space as the Tongs, his worldview seems different from theirs. In the sense of a different colorful picture of the end-of-the-century hyachers and the pretty maidens.

Uluru and Olga sitting next to me. When I sat down, they said to me, "It's been a long time since yesterday," to which I could only give a wry smile, not knowing how to reply. I couldn't know what to say, so I had to smile. I don't want to say something that I don't want him to say and get a strange reaction.

But now we are all here. Isn't this the first time since I came to this world?

"Now that we're all here, let's start talking."

Is it still about the upcoming war?

Olga and Uluru also heard about it from the king in the morning.

"As you know, the Demon Lord's army is coming. ...... Well, I guess they're working hard to build bridges now, but they're still coming."

You destroyed it.

How can one person destroy a bridge by himself, no matter how many rivers are on the other side?

I'd throw a tree or something at it.

"Two days later, the Royal Army marches into the plains to repel the Demon King's Army. The rescue team will accompany them and take up a position on the plain. ......

"Yes!"

>

Guys, your replies are still weird. Olga's and Uluru's voices have been drowned out.

"...... Especially, Usato and Uluru are in their first war. Keep your heads up."

Wasn't Mr. Uluru in the last war? ...... Then was Mr. Olga the only one healing the wounded in the last war?

If it was a few years ago,......, Uluru is still in middle school age. That's too young age to let her participate in the war.

At that point Rose's story is over and dismissed.

"Hey Olga, I need to talk to you."

Yes? I understand."

As we leave the cafeteria, Ms. Olga is called by Rose.

As I was about to leave the cafeteria, Mr. Uluru grabbed my arm unexpectedly.

"What is it ......?"

"I think my brother wants to talk to Mr. Rose, so I'm free.

"Are you free ......?"

"Usato,...... I heard you were running around town with a blue grizzly."

Yes, but...

I'd like to see it.

"Uh ......"

"I bet he's cute!"

"They are ferocious. ......"

"........."

"This way: ......"

"Thanks!"

I'm weak, me! If it were Inukami-senpai, I could somehow fool him. ....... I know she's the same age as Inukami-senpai, but she's so different from him! d*mn, she's good.

With a smiling Uluru in tow, we visit the stable where Bulrin is staying.

Inside the stable, there is a small bear lying down and stretching out his mouth. I think he's getting a little bigger. ...... It's time to give him some serious exercise.

Mr. Uluru catches sight of Bullyn and unexpectedly approaches him, opens his arms and...

"Oh, look out!"

"Cute!"

No, in this case. Inukami-senpai would be a better choice, but Uluru-san is the other party, and the degree of innocence is a world apart. With his pure desire to protect others without any ulterior motive, I'm sure even the great Mr. Bulrin would allow anyone other than me and the guard (and Rose) to touch him.

>

"Hep!"

"Mr. Ullrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!"

He was repulsed by Bullein. He flails his arms and blows Mr. Uluru into a bundle of straw. Bulllyn, you ...... are going so far over the edge, who do you think you are, anyway?

I pull Mr. Uluru out of the pile of straw in a hurry, and he looks shocked and grabs me by the shoulders. He does not seem to be hurt as he was not hit that hard.

His eyes seem to be moistening somewhat, but I don't want to mention that too much.

"...... Usato-kun."

"Yes, yes. ......"

"You stroke it."

"Okay. So please let go of my hand on your shoulder."

My nails are ...... digging in and it hurts. How frustrated are you, Mr. Uluru?

At any rate, I reach out and pat him normally.

"Here."

"Well, then, me too!"

Uluru's right hand is instantly knocked off. Uluru-san stares at his right hand, which has lost its way, with tears in his eyes, and makes a scratchy motion on his head as if to cover his mistake.

I'm sorry about my bullyn.

But relief comes to the despondent Uluru-san. A familiar little black animal jumps onto her shoulder.

"......Kuku,Kukuru-chan......"

<<< Kyu? >>

Yes, Noir Rabbit. And Rose's faithful pet, Kukuru.

The monster who played with my innocence. Kukuru's head tilting is adorable.

"Kukuru!"

"Thanks ...... for the comfort."

"Squeak."

"Oh..."

Uluru-san tries to rub her cheek against Kukuru. But the little animal jumped off her shoulder and moved to my shoulder. Can't you read the air a little, you rabbit? Worst of all, my right hand is on Bulrin and my left shoulder is on Kukul. And in front of me is a stunned, open-mouthed Uluru.

Silence reigns.

>

.

You shut up.

Oh, man, this is awkward. Very awkward. Follow me on ....... I can't think of the right words. Inukami-senpai... Inukami-senpai... would have been able to break out of this situation easily...

"...... Ugh."

I'm on the verge of collapse...!

It's all the fault of the rabbit that's relaxing on my shoulder. I pick it up with my right hand and offer it to Mr. Uluru. Kukuru... it's useless to look at him with such dull eyes.

Uluru takes Kukul in a silent embrace with both hands.

"My dear, Bulrin is in a bad mood today... Let's go outside! Mr. Uluru!"

"......"

Uluru silently walks outside with Kukul in his arms.

For the time being, he walks toward the dormitory. Uluru-san is still silent, and I can't hide my shudder. What's with this guy? He's totally different from before.

"Hey, Usato-kun..."

"Hiya ......"

Mr. Uluru calls out to me unexpectedly. It's not my fault that my voice went all backwards.

"Mr. Rose is a scary guy, isn't he?"

"What are you talking about?

"You say that a lot, Usato. ......"

What I mean by "scary" depends on how much time I have to talk about her.

Fine, I'll tell you how scary she is.

"Oh..."

"Because, you know, when we came in, that guy ...... followed our training like he was obsessed with something. He couldn't ...... keep up with my brother's training, so we went our separate ways, but ...... Mr. Rose was so scary at that time. That man never talks about anything, so ......"

"I never cared about ...... at all. ......"

At first I thought that training policy was Rose's default.

"Maybe it's still the same."

"Yes, I'm fine now, but at first I really thought I was going to die!

Mr. Uluru laughs at my words. 

It's no laughing matter for me, Mr. Uluru. We exchange a word or two, and as we near the entrance to the dormitory, Uluru sets Krull down on the ground and turns back to me.

"As far as I'm concerned, Usato-kun. He is a very vulnerable person.

"No, you don't."

Haha, I think that's a terrible answer.

What did I mean by vulnerable ....... She laughs at me, who can't help but feel so uncomfortable that I forget what it even means.

"Well, you know, he's really a devil! He may have softened his attitude recently, but that's only on occasion, and basically I'm being treated like he wants me to be treated!

"Oh, um, Usato-kun?"

"I can't tell you how hard it was for me when I was thrown into the woods. ...... I was a little touched that you were waiting in the woods, but that was that, and this is this! I thought I was going to die then! And I'm surprised that she's 25 years old! I thought you were in your late twenties because you were so wasted and mature!"

"......I'm sorry for your loss, Usato."

Why are you apologizing there -----? My head was grabbed with tremendous force. ----

"Ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

"You can say whatever you like, can't you? A "A"?"

Mr. Uluru at the front gate, Rose at the back gate. I mean, how long have you been here? I looked at Rose behind me with a sideways glance and saw Kukulu on her shoulder ----- You again! Are you as black inside as you look!

Rose and Mr. Uluru start talking while I am in too much pain to speak.

"......... I guess I'm going to have to give you a little moxa."

"Please don't torment him too much, Mr. Rose."

"That's impossible. ...... Olga is waiting for you inside. I've told him everything he needs to know.

Okay, see you later, Usato-kun.

Mr. Uluru abandoned me ......!

Rose, holding me in her arms, my body weak from the grip on my head, takes me into the dormitory with a pale streak on her forehead.

This easy ...... feeling again.
