The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

I have not seen Mr. Farga since he stopped by Mialak on his way back from Hinomoto.

Although I have had some other contact with him in the form of letters, it has been a long time since I have been able to talk to him face-to-face.

Early in the morning, I go to the castle alone.

Nair wanted to come with me, but since I was the only one who had been summoned, I asked him to stay behind for this one time.

"Master Farga.... I've never seen a dragon except wyverns, so I'm excited.

"Please don't be too rude, okay?"

I know. We owe you a great debt of gratitude.

After meeting up with Senpai and Kazuki inside the castle, I head for the hall where Master Lloyd and the others are preparing to communicate with each other.

Senpai seems to be in good spirits as yesterday, but Kazuki seems to be somewhat down.

I go to ......, but Kazuki seems to be troubled.

"Kazuki, are you okay?"

"Hm?　Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine. ......Master Farga took good care of me, too. Yeah, I should thank him."

Haha," says Kazuki with a dry smile that he can't hide anymore.

I turn to him.

"Senpai. Kazuki, I'm not okay no matter how I look at it. ......"

"Yeah, his inability to tell a lie, combined with his inability to be a good liar, makes him painful to watch."

"Senpai, can't you do something?"

"Huh, I'm good at making people smile, but I'm not equipped to guide young people in distress."

"Why are you bragging ......?　You're a senior, aren't you?"

I know I'm being reckless.

However, the older man smiles dexterously while keeping his voice low.

"Usato-kun, have I ever shown you anything like a senior?

"That's why you're bragging ...... about it, no, we've known each other for a while.

......Hey!

I have no idea,......!

I don't remember him doing anything that would be considered a senior.

Usato, what are you talking about with your senpai?

"Kazuki, it seems that you are not a senior to us."

"Hmm?　What do you mean?

Kazuki looks puzzled.

The senior, with a smile on his face, points at himself with his thumb.

"You can treat me like I'm your age, right?"

"Sure, Inukami."

"Aren't you being too frank?　We're more like club mates!

No, a senior is still a senior even if he doesn't act like one, so I will continue to call him "senpai" (senior).

While we are having such a conversation, we arrive at the hall.

The guard standing in front of the door let me through, and I found Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Welshy, and Ms. Leona already waiting for me in the hall.

"Oh, you've come!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this way, please."

Ms. Welsey urged me to move to the front of the hall.

In one part of the hall, a fountain-like structure had been installed, which had not been there before.

The fountain is an addition to the wall and is designed to constantly circulate water.

"Although it is still incomplete, this is a magical tool for communicating with the Lord Farga in Mialak.

"Wow, this ...... looks like an ordinary fountain, but it is ......."

"It looks like a stylish interior. ......"

As we look into the fountain listening to Mr. Welshy's explanation, our faces are reflected in the fountain.

It's amazing that it doesn't look so unnatural, even though it's always in the hall where Master Lloyd is.

"You can connect them with your armor, can't you, Leona?"

"Yes, because my spear is more closely connected to Master Farga than your weapons are.

Leona transforms the pendant into a spear with light.

She looks at Mr. Welshy and inserts it into the hollow in the fountain.

"Now all that's left is for Lady Farga to use her magic and we'll be connected.

"I see. ......"

It's like a key, isn't it?

It's amazing that this whole fountain is like a magical tool.

"It was the proposal of Mr. Farga that we have this opportunity to talk with you.

Master Lloyd takes one look at the fountain and calls out to those of us standing around it.

"We have already communicated through water once with Mr. Farga's magic to check, and it should work without any problems. At that time, I informed him of the current situation of the Demon King's army and ours, so he should have a general understanding of the situation.

""""Yes."""

So Mr. Lloyd has already told you what you need to know.

Then does that mean that Mr. Farga wants to talk to us?

The only possibilities are the scrolls and me or ......?

"The magical tool is activated."

Mr. Welshy's voice makes you look at the fountain and you see ripples forming on the surface of the water.

The ripples immediately make a splash and rise into the air as if defying gravity, forming the shape of the water.

Another scene is reflected on the water, which has changed into a smooth mirror-like shape.

Reflected in the mirror was a blue dragon with large wings and body, Lady Farga, and a woman who was peering at us curiously near the mirror --- Lady Norn, Queen of Mialak.

He looked at us with his clear eyes through the mirror in the shape of a dragon we could have imagined.

"Yes, Mr. Farga. It has been a long time, Master Norn.

I bow my head and greet Mr. Farga and Mr. Norn.

He looks from me to Senpai and Kazuki, who are standing next to me.

"Yes!"

"Thank you for arming us in the last battle. ......!　Truly, thank you for giving us the sword ......!"

>

Senpai, don't annoy Mr. Farga as soon as possible. ......!

I'm sure he's just expressing his gratitude.

"...... Yes."

I receive pure words of praise.

>

"?　......Yes, I have it, but ......"

<< Now hold it up in front of the mirror. Let us read the record engraved on the cage.

We did as Farga told us, deploying each of the weapons he had given us and holding them up in front of the mirror.

Then a magical pattern appears in Farga's eyes and is directed toward the two baskets and the sword.

"Yeah. ......"

Why would I be the only one who has read the memories of all three of us?

I'm told a lot of things right out of the gate.

I'm aware of it, but it's a little discouraging to hear it to my face.

>

"I don't feel like I've been praised. ......"

<<

I have a strong feeling that Mr. Farga has a big smile on his face.

Norn-sama, who is standing by my side, is also giving a casual "as usual" to me.

"......After all, that thing with Mr. Nagi was unexpected, wasn't it?"

While sealed, the ego sprouted in the sword of the brave.

It was in this age that it began to move and was trying to turn me into a light magician to kill the Demon King.

In the end, I was combined with Nagi's soul, but it was really hard until then.

<

I don't know what you mean when you call them "strong." .......

I wonder what Nagi would look like if he were listening to this: .......

<

"...... yes."

I was expecting you to say something, but I guess not.

Possibilities, huh?

Maybe there is a "what if" world where I choose to return to my world.

There is a world where I am without senpai and Kazuki, so it's hard to say it's impossible.

<

"When I say public stage, I don't mean ......"

Does this mean that the Lord Farga, who has been watching over Mialak from the shadows, is going to reveal himself ......?

"Beware ......?"

Lady Farga looks down at us again.

"""!""""

We are surprised at Mr. Farga's words.

It seems that Lloyd and the others are not surprised, but do we really want him to come all the way from the Demon Lord's territory to attend the meeting?

"......"

I nod my head in silent affirmation.

Where would be the venue for such an important event in the future?

Could it be Lucvis again?

No, it is not safe to let the Demon Lord himself come to that place where children gather.

While I'm thinking about it, it seems that Mr. Farga is moving on to the next story.

As I try to regain my composure and be a good listener, Farga-sama suddenly lowers his gaze at an angle and activates his magic.

What appeared with a light was a golden shining paper --- a scroll.

"...... Yes."

"Really?"

Mr. Farga nodded at the sound of Kazuki's voice.

"So, doesn't that make sense ......?"

From what Hisago said, he seems to have come from a time when wars were commonplace.

And since he was in bloody armor when he was summoned, it could be the Warring States period.

<

"Is it that easy?"

<<>

It's not that difficult if you just want to put the information of our world on the scroll, is it?

"...... what?"

Kazuki's stunned voice echoed disgustedly.

I and my senpai looked at Mr. Farga with wide eyes, wondering what was going on, but he spun the words with his eyes downcast with sadness.

"......How much time do you have left?"

--- To be honest, this is not really my business.

My heart is shaken, but still, it is not an easy decision for me to reverse what I have already made.

But..,

"Kazuki ......"

I didn't know what to say to him when I saw his conflicted expression next to me.

Three months.

The concrete time to make a decision was enough to push him over the edge.
