The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

For the demon tribe, this meeting had a special meaning.

The meeting was to determine the future treatment of the demon tribe by discussing the perception of the humans toward the demon tribe and the current situation of the demon tribe.

The result of the meeting was good.

Although there is still a sense of distrust toward the demon tribe, some understanding was obtained.

Then, we took a boat for a short journey of two days to return to the demon king's territory again.

"I wonder what will happen to the demon tribe now. ......"

I muttered to myself as I walked around the ship.

I was supposed to be a guard for the demon king, but the demon king told me to take a break from guarding.

I knew that he meant it out of concern for my hard work, so it didn't come as a shock to me, but I am not as easygoing as Koga, so I was somewhat dejected as I walked toward my room that was assigned to me on the ship.

"...... hmm?"

Is there someone sitting on the deck?

I immediately recognized the figure sitting on the deck with an owl on his head and sitting on his back, and I headed towards him.

"Amira?"

"Amira-san?

I am surprised to see Usato turn to me after muttering that.

Did he sense my presence ......?　No, that may be part of it, but you knew it was me even before you saw me. .......

Can I help you?

I was just passing by. What are you doing here?

Nair wants to know more about magic sensing and is practicing it here.

Because you don't disturb people on the deck.

......After all this time, he really is a strange guy. This guy.

"He's a hard worker."

Ferrum comes out of the usat, perhaps unassimilated.

She is still leaning her back against the deck railing when Usato calls out to her.

"No, this time it's a request from Nair. I was just in my room reading a book. I mean, you've been assimilated into the group for some time now.

"Huh?　I got permission.

"Was I right? ......?"

Usato tilts his head at Ferrum, who turns his gaze slightly to the side, fiddling with his silver hair as he says these words.

"Hmmm. I guess I just didn't listen to him.

"Yes, you're right."

...... definitely not.

Seeing Ferrum who does not hesitate to assimilate and Usato who does not care about it at all, I was a bit taken back, and Nair who turned from owl to human form cowered her shoulders in disgust.

"Your magic detection range is wide, about a 10 meter radius. Over time you will be affected by the wind, but within that range you can sense the presence of all living things, and you can react to moving inorganic objects.

"That's pretty narrow. ......"

"No, I don't think it's that small."

At least, it's a good enough range for Usato, who mostly fights with his fists.

From my point of view, it is quite troublesome that Usato, with his amazing reflexes and close combat ability, has the ability to completely detect the enemy's approach and attack.

"It also means that if the devil doesn't get that close, he won't know. ...... Hmmm, oh, yes."

Usato creates a magic bullet in his palm, as if he had thought of something.

He covers the magic bullet with another kind of magical membrane and hands it to Ferrum.

"Ferrum, will you take this and get away from me?

What the hell is this?

"Healing bombs."

What the hell are you doing with that?

Ferrum raises his voice as he receives a magic bullet with a strange name.

"No, it's not that powerful even if it's an explosive shell. It's just a light diffusion of magic power. Please smash it on the ground at a distance from me and break it.

"Really?　It's not dangerous, is it?"

She moved about 10 meters away from us, and then, with a great deal of trepidation, she slammed the magic bullet in her hand onto the floor.

With a small explosion sound, the magic bullet cracked and particles scattered into the air.

"I see."

Usato, who had his eyes closed, chuckles.

"Nea. I seem to have awakened to a new skill. I'll name it ......, the healing sensor ......."

"This can be done just by throwing healing magic bullets, so we don't have to give it a name, do we?"

Usato nods at Nea's words.

The range of the healing magic is recognized as being within the range of the magic bullet, even the place where the magic bullet lands. ...... It's becoming a technique that's all about chasing down demons.

Now that I have mastered the techniques of my master and mastered the secrets of magic, I never thought I would learn anything from a human being. .......

"Do you have any tips on how to do that magic trick?"

"Any tips?　"Well, you have to be conscious of it.

When I ask him about it a little further, he crosses his arms and worries.

He looks around once, nods, and then looks up.

"If you compare the magic power flowing through your body to a river, the magic bullet you created is a ship. If you imagine that the ship is just a prompt for where to go, and it is the flow of the river that moves you forward, it might be easier to do.

"Hmm. Thank you."

In other words, the magic bullet to move is only a guide, and the important thing is the flow of magic itself.

It is a technique to accelerate the flow of magic power and to develop the ability to sense magic power itself.

It takes a lot of skill to get to that point, but it is ...... interesting.

"On a different note, ......"

"Yes?"

I suddenly remembered what I was going to ask, and I'm going to ask it right now.

"You are coming to the demon king's territory in the near future, have you heard what you are going to do?

"Roughly. I'm going to report on the situation there and support the Demon Lords ......."

Or worse, surveillance.

Somehow I guessed that he was choosing his words carefully, so I spoke to him without pursuing the point in depth.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's easier for me to work with you than with someone whose identity I don't know. I have no objection.

"Ha-ha, thank you very much."

"There will be some confusion, though. ......"

"I'm sure you will - ......"

In the battle in the city, the soldiers mistake Usato for a demon.

Hannah was also traumatized at one point.

She has a definite fear of Usato and will be terrified when she hears about the dispatch.

"As for me, I had to meet Keira ...... Oh, and I had to meet the child of the dark wizard I met on my trip, so I was going to go to the demon king's territory anyway."

"A child of a dark wizard?　Is that ...... okay?"

The child of a dark wizard is mentally unstable.

I was worried that there was a danger of the dark magic going out of control for some reason, but Usato shook his head with a wry smile.

"Don't worry. He has already mastered dark magic, and he was so enthusiastic that he even went to Koga to learn dark magic.

"Is that so ......?"

"I wonder why he's so enthusiastic. ......"

"He's got a big, fat draw on him. ......"

I noticed that Ferrum and Nair were whispering about something. ...... I wonder if this guy has the ability to influence dark wizards in some way. .......

"Also, I'd like to talk to Nero Agence. ......"

"...... I heard that your master tried to kill you, are you alright?"

Usato's face turns a bit puzzled when I ask him such a question.

"Haha, I'm used to that kind of thing with the Commander.

"...... I see, so that's how it is. That's a funny thing to hear."

I've been prepared to die many times in training with my mentor, too. .......

If Usato is the same, then my earlier question was meaningless.

"Wait, you're engaging in a conversation that shouldn't be engaging."

"I guess we are similar in that we have a terrible teacher. ......"

Two people who have an extraordinary mentor.

And if we think of each other as having had a mutual relationship, we can't help but think of each other: .......

"In the end, I never had to fight you.

"Yes, we fought at the Demon King's castle."

"That's no way to go into a fight."

Rather, the battle with Leona after that would be the real one.

She knew of his existence during the second invasion of the Lingle Kingdom, but in the end, the war ended without a fight with Usato.

It is not that I wanted to continue the war, but I have a regret that I wanted to fight against a healer who was out of the ordinary for a warrior.

"When you come to the demon king's territory, shall we try a hand-to-hand combat?"

"As long as we don't kill each other, that's totally fine.

It's a deal.

Now we have something to look forward to.

Then Nair talks to Usato who is sitting on the floor.

"Are you sure?　Are you sure you want to do this?

"It's not a fight for your life, it's a hand-to-hand combat. It will be part of our exchange with the demon tribe, and there is no reason to refuse.

...... I should probably go back to my room.

I lift my body off the railing and start to walk away when I notice Ferrum standing right next to me, looking up at me.

I am upset that she, who is slightly shorter than me, is staring at me.

"What the hell, Ferrum?"

"Okay, you're different."

"...... what?"

"Boku, for the first time I'm glad you're a manly, hard-brained swordsman."

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

I've never been so insulted in my life.

And the fact that he was unaware of it made me not know whether to be angry or depressed.
