The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

What's up with Hayate and his recent situation and complaints????Hayate and I talked about recent events and complaints.

We mainly talked about Rinka and Kanoko who were too energetic, but strangely enough, we did not have much to say about my position as the chief of the clan.

After talking for about an hour, we left Hayate's room and headed downstairs where the seniors were.

The scene of the usual senpai jumping on the teary-eyed Ms. Nagi jumped into my sight.

I guessed it was because Nagi-san and senpai were the two people whom Rinka was calling <.

While pulling her away from Ms. Nagi, I asked her about something that had been bothering me.

I was surprised to see my senpai choking with great force.

After that, we separated from Amako and the others with some commotion, and headed back to the inn where we were staying.

After returning to the inn, just as it was getting dark outside, the Demon Kings returned from the castle.

"I didn't expect to be sharing a room with you!"

As for me, I'm tempted to switch rooms."

Then, after dinner in the dining room, I sat down in a chair in my room and talked with Koga.

I know that it is preferable to share the same room for surveillance purposes, but I am a little uncomfortable sleeping in the same room with the guy who has been trying to kill me.

"Speaking of which, you're being used as bait by the Demon Lord..."

"What?"

I don't know the contents of my conversation with Mr. Farga, but it turns out that the Demon Lord has said some dishonorable things about me.

He said, "You're an easy target because the demons have a grudge against you.

I'm a harmless healing wizard.

"...... kidding, right?"

"Yeah, an ogre joke. You think it's funny?

"Ha-ha-ha. Don't ...... do it again, it's not a joke."

I knew that I had a right to hold a grudge against the devil, so I joked back.

Well, I don't agree with being called a pseudo-bait by the demon king.

What am I, a butterfly fish or an alligator snapping turtle?

"Pfft, it's funny how the devil hates the devil."

"Well, what he's doing is even more heinous than the devil himself."

Then there were two voices other than mine and Koga's.

On the side where the voices were coming from, Nair and Ferrum, who were supposed to be in another room, were sitting on chairs at the table provided in the room.

"...... you guys."

"Hmm?"

What?

He spoke to Nair and Ferrum, who looked at him as if they were bored, while holding his forehead.

"Why are you in this room?"

""I'm not busy.""

No, that's not a reason.

He turns his chair toward them, holding his forehead.

"I don't think there's anything fun about being in this room."

"It doesn't matter, because what you do is interesting in itself."

"Hey, you make it sound like I'm always doing weird stuff.

Coga, who was listening in the back, bursts out laughing at Nea's outrageous comment.

"Ha-ha-ha, that's funny!"

"Shall I shut you down right now and give you the morning ......?"

"What kind of threat is that ......?"

It means I'll force you to pass out and wake up in the morning.

As I was saying this to Koga, Nair pointed at Ferrum, who was sitting next to me.

"Just so you know, it's always the same room with me and him, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's not fresh with him in the room with me.

I didn't come here to play.

Besides, considering our roles, the room assignment would naturally end up like this.

"Then, do you want to be in the same room with your senpai????I don't mind at all.

"I'm sorry, my bad. ......"

"I was wrong ......"

I must say, this is very effective.

"Only you and Amako can keep up with Suzune's pace."

"I'm tired of being with him."

"What's with that cold married couple line ......"

It is true that senpai is very high-spirited and always seems to be drinking.

I wonder if it's something to be so much disliked. ......

I think I wouldn't have to feel so gloomy if I had a senior.

"Go back to your room at bedtime, okay?"

Yes, sir."

Since there are two people in the room, it doesn't feel suffocating even if there are four of us.

I try to do my daily routine of turning the magic, and the idea of practicing dark magic comes to my mind since Ferrum is here.

"Ferrum, may I borrow some of your magic?

"What?"

He puts his hand on Ferrum's shoulder and borrows a little dark magic.

Part of the dark magic flows out from her shoulder and wraps around my hand.

"Okay, here..."

"Wait a minute!"

I was about to get back in my chair and do the exercise I was thinking about when Ferrum came barging in on me.

"You're taking away my magic too easily!

"Oh, I'm sorry. You don't like it????I'll put it right back.

She places her hand on Ferrum's shoulder again, and the dark magic that had been transformed into a basket hand returns to her.

"...... No, you're wrong!???How can you move in and out like you own the place!

"No, I was just wondering if I could do something ...... like that."

What do you mean?

I could control it with my will in the previous training.

But I shouldn't have borrowed dark magic without asking for an answer. ...... I must reflect on that.

"~~!???If you want to use it, use it!"

Then, Ferrum grabs my hand and reaches out to give me a piece of dark magic himself.

I thank him and try to accept it, but just before I do so, a thought occurs to me.

FELM. Go back to your seat."

What????You don't want to use my magic????Don't you want it?

"He's such a pain in the ass. ......"

Coga, looking somewhat withdrawn, is muttering something.

He moves to a distance of about three meters from Ferrum.

"I was wondering if I could receive FERM's magic at this distance.

"Huh????I'd be stronger if I assimilated directly."

"No, ...... I was thinking that if I could partially borrow your magic when I don't have time to assimilate with Ferm, I can deal with unforeseen circumstances."

"...... okay. So it's like sending a magic bullet?"

"Yeah."

He points his palm at Ferrum.

It is only an insurance policy, but it is good to be able to do it.

I call out to Ferrum, sensing Koga's curious look.

"Ferrum!

"Jump!"

A black mass flies out of her hand and hits my hand, changing its trajectory in the air as if it has a will of its own---transforming into a black basket hand as if it were wrapped around me.

The dark magic covers only a little below the elbow due to the small amount of magic power I received, but it is still hard enough.

"......"

Once the dark magic is transferred to his left arm, he deploys a basket hand on his right arm.

While looking around the silver basket hand, he wraps the right hand basket hand with the dark magic of his left arm.

At first glance, it seems to be an unintelligible form to cover the silver basket hand with another dark magic basket hand, but... it is not.

"Koga."

Hmm?

I've got a new idea. You wanna take it?

Oh, great.

"What are they trying to do, make a new technique and try it out in a natural way ......?"

"What are they going to do ......?"

Coga stands up easily and squeezes his right arm.

Since this is just a trial practice, it should not be that powerful.

Inhale lightly, thrust out your right arm, and at the same time release a healing flying fist.

"Hmph!"

A fist-sized shockwave is emitted from his right arm.

Normally, the shockwave itself would fly away, but now my cage hand is covered with dark magic (??????????????????).

The dark magic pushed out by the shockwave hits Koga's defensive right arm like a rocket punch.

"Heh, it's an interesting move, but this is no different from the usual..."

Untie me.

What????Huh?

Koga catches the fist-shaped dark magic and it unravels into a string that wraps around Koga's body.

With his healing flying fist, he ejects the dark magic and binds the target with the dark magic.

This is a binding technique, which can bind an opponent unharmed.

"Hey, untie me!"

"Oh, sorry."

With a thought in my head, I release Koga's restraints and draw the dark magic to me.

"Darkness healing rocket punch, that's what I'm talking about. ......!"

"Of course not, ......!"

Nair puts a sword in my head as I intuitively name it.

She looks down at me with a stern stare as I hold my head down, and then she jabs her finger at me.

"I've already given up on you making up weird tricks out of thin air, but I can't overlook your unprecedented lack of sense in naming things!

"No sense of naming????...... who?"

"I'm afraid of not being aware of it. ......"

Nair is dismayed, but soon seems to regain her composure and points a finger at me.

"Just so you know, I'm saying this for your own good, okay?"

"...... Oh, thank you. You can always count on me."

"That's not what I meant. ......!???Oh, no!"???

As I return the dark magic to Ferrum, tilting my head at her stomping on the ground, I notice that Koga is looking at me with a complicated look on his face.

"Hmm????What's wrong?"

"...... I just thought you might get stabbed someday."

"????...... already stabbed me a few times, it's too late for that."

That's not what I meant.

If anything, you're the one who's been stabbing me, aren't you?

Nair, who was standing next to Ferrum, let out a sigh of exasperation.

"That's right, stabbing him won't do you any good.

"Sure, I'd rather he just put up with it and hit me back."

"Can you just ...... stop talking to me so casually?"

"Isn't that ...... too much?"

After spitting venom at Koger, Nair looks at me with a stern stare.

What are you going to do tomorrow, Usato?

"Yeah, what are we going to do? ...... Well, we'll be stuck here until the day the meeting starts."

"Well, it's only a week away, right????I have too much free time."

"Even so..."

We can't afford to get carried away here.

You never know when the unexpected might happen.

We must make sure that Nair and Ferrum are always ready to help us in case of an emergency.

...... But I know Nair's character well enough to know that it would be counterproductive to stop him here.

"You guys can go outside."

"What????You sure?"

"Ferrum can get out as long as he's assimilated with Nair. But I can't leave here, so you guys will have to go alone. ......

"Oh, okay."

Nair replies without hearing me finish.

When I was stunned, she cowered her shoulders in a bored manner.

"Yes, I'm interested in the outside, but it's no fun without you. It would just be a sightseeing trip.

"What do you mean by that ......?"

"I'd rather watch you make a mess indoors."

What the hell????Is that a compliment?

Or is it a clever way of humiliating me?

Besides, that Demon Lord shouldn't be stuck in a can here.

"Oh, it's possible."

"I wouldn't be surprised if the Demon Lord knew what he was doing and tried to get out."

He likes you. He's going to take great pleasure in annoying you."

I don't know if I should say this, but what do you mean that even Coga agrees with you?

And don't get me started on the Demon Lord laughing at me for embarrassing him, because I can easily imagine it: .......
