The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

As for the members who would go with me to the Demon Lord's territory, first of all, I had already decided on Bulrin.

I was also thinking that Bulrin would be a mascot for the demon tribe, since demons seem to be closer to them than humans.

The other member is Uluru, who was recommended by Rose.

I was told that Rose had talked to her, but I had to talk to her first, so I went to the clinic where she was staying today.

"Had Nack been to the clinic before?"

"Yes. Yes, several times.

Also, I brought Nack with me today for another matter apart from Mr. Uluru.

"So, you seem to have a vague idea of the atmosphere.

"Yes, both Olga and Uluru were very kind and helpful to me as a newcomer.

Uluru seems to love Nack, doesn't he?

It's a strange feeling.

"Hmm?　What?

Walking around town like this.

"Ha-ha-ha. Yes, in our case, I think it's so rare that people are surprised."

He chuckles at Nack's words.

People are often surprised when they don't run, because they have the image that a lifeguard team = running.

I'm often surprised when I'm not running.

"What? Why?"

"Because I don't have a bullring on my back, that's why."

"Oh, so it's a set with a bullring. ......"

It's kind of like being treated like a specialty of the Lingle Kingdom.

Like the man who runs with a bear on his back.

"The knack is ......"

"Yes?"

Suddenly, I see Nack walking next to me and remember his situation.

I remember, hesitate for a moment, and then ask him boldly.

"Has there been any contact from his family or ......?"

"......"

Parents as aristocrats.

They were the ones who neglected him for his magical talent and sent him to the academy in Lucvis.

A letter came for you.

"...... didn't sound very nice."

Nack's face, which was a little darker rather than expressionless, was a good indicator of this.

"He seemed to be concerned about what we were up to. He asked what we were doing at the lifeguard station and how much our magic had improved. ......"

"It's ......."

"I know. Maybe that's what you mean (・・・・・・). I had a little bit of hope. They haven't changed."

The perception of the healing wizard is changing.

I am aware that it was the Lifeguard Corps that initiated this change, but was he trying to find out the inner workings of the Corps through Nack?

I would like to think that the letter was written out of genuine concern for Nack. ...... but judging from the look on Nack's face, that seems unlikely.

"There wasn't even a word of concern. From the very beginning, there was no mention of what he was doing at the Rescue Mission. How good has the healing magic become? You just write what you want to hear and expect a response from me."

"......"

That's too painful. .......

Laughing weakly, I place my hand lightly on Nack's head.

"So, shall we go over to your parents' house like you wanted?"

"What?

If you want to know what's going on in the lifeguard squad, I can show you. We'll mainly show the tough guys up front so they won't complain or interfere?"

Well, I'm kidding.

But if Rose gives the go-ahead, I don't know.

"Nack. You got a hard time, you come to me, okay?"

"......"

"You are now an official lifeguard. If anything happens to you, we'll protect you."

I'm sure the tough guys would rather take the initiative in protecting Nack.

They love Nack.

They might be against the nobles...?

Would you say the same thing in front of the Commander?

I don't think they'd even take him. They won't even take us on.

Nack, you're going to change your opinion immediately.

It's rather rare to find someone who can stand up to the Commander head-on.

"Ah, but... I got a letter from my sister mixed in with the letters from my parents. Apparently, she mixed them up secretly."

"Good for you."

"Yes. But I've been missing my sister so much that I thought I'd ask Meena, who is in Luxembourg, to give her a lift.

"By Meena?"

She was good friends with my sister.

Isn't the situation surrounding this girl a little too complicated?

I should at least help her while I'm here.

But first..,

"Okay, here we are."

We need to develop her skills as a healing wizard.

I stop in front of the clinic, look at Nack next to me, and make up my mind again.

I look at Nack and make up my mind once again.

When we entered the clinic, Olga and Uluru welcomed us.

We were invited to a drawing room in the back of the clinic, where we sat down without any prompting, and in front of us sat Olga, a man with a kindly atmosphere, in a chair.

"I'm glad you've come. Usato-kun, Nack-kun.

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

"I'm glad to see you are well, Olga-san."

It's a great thing to have four of the five healing wizards in the Kingdom of Lingle here, I think to myself.

"Is today's business about Uluru?"

"Yes. And there's one more thing.

"Hmm. ...... Then let's wait for Uluru to bring us some tea. In the meantime, let's make small talk.

First of all, Mr. Uluru comes first.

Well, we're not in such a hurry. .......

"I heard you fought with Mr. Rose's men at the meeting."

"...... Yes. Did you know them, Olga?"

"I didn't know them directly, but they were well known in the Kingdom of Lingle.

Well, if they work for Rose, they must be famous in both good and bad ways.

I've heard rumors about them from Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Sigurth.

It must have been really hard for you.

Yes, they were very good at working together, taking advantage of each other's strengths and complementing each other. The next time we encounter them, we may not be able to pull off the same trick. ......"

I'm surprised that Mr. Ahl is the only one with a will in that one.

If all of them had a proper intention, I might have been the one who lost.

"Yes, yes, welcome. "Hello, Usato-kun, Nack-kun."

While we were having this conversation, Mr. Uluru, who was preparing tea, comes in.

She offers us a cup of tea and sits down next to Olga.

"......Yes?　What were you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing to worry about. ......Well, now that Uluru seems to be here, let's get down to business."

"Yes."

One of the reasons I'm here.

That is to ask if you would be willing to accompany Mr. Uluru as one of the members of our mission to the Demon Lord's territory.

"The Demon Lords...not that I'm not interested........."

If you can't, you can say so. I don't want to force you to go with me.

"I'm sorry. I'd like to help you, but I'm in charge here.

I am prepared to take all possible measures, but it is also true that there are dangers.

I have no intention of forcibly taking Mr. Uluru to such a place.

"Uluru, why don't you go there without worrying about me?"

"...... What, brother, are you serious?　What about this clinic?"

Unexpectedly, Olga gave me a nudge.

Not only me and Nack, but Uluru was surprised.

"You are a little too overprotective of me and too careless with yourself. This is a good opportunity for you to move on without thinking about me or the clinic.

"Brother, I'm worried that you're going to wilt without me. ......"

"Hmm, wait a minute, Uluru. I'm starting to get worried about how poor you perceive me to be."

No wonder Ms. Olga feels overprotected.

It is true that Ms. Olga is physically weak, but it should not affect her daily life.

For Uluru, Ms. Olga is her family. ......

"Anyway, if you keep worrying about me, you won't even find the right person, will you?"

"Don't worry, Usato-kun will have you then!"

"What?"

"......, then you don't have to worry about me."

"!!!?"

I was sipping my tea while watching the exchange between the two of them, when this crazy stray bullet hit me.

And without any particular resistance, Olga-san admitted it to me.

Is this a hallucination?　Is this exchange an auditory hallucination?

"Nah, Nack?"

"The tea tastes good. ...... yes, it's delicious. ......"

You're staring at a spot of tea and trying to stay out of the conversation ......!

"So what about the clinic?　You're going to have patients coming in, and I don't think it's going to be easy with just one brother. ......"

"Well, I'm concerned about that. "Well, I have that worry, but as long as you don't push yourself too hard, you'll be fine."

"Such a vague ......."

Uluru-san puts his hand on his forehead in distress, and Olga-san smiles at him as if troubled.

Well, aside from me, I hear that there are quite a few visitors to the clinic, so I can understand why you are worried that Olga-san might get sick.

"Oh, I'll help you, Olga-san!"

"!"

"Nack-kun ......?"

Suddenly Nack, who is standing next to me, shouts out to the two of us.

Olga-san and Uluru-san look at me in surprise, and Nack turns to look at me.

"Ah, Usato-san ......"

"It's okay. You can tell them what you want to do. Don't worry, I'm here for you."

I was actually going to start after this, but if Nack is going to say it of his own volition, then it's better that way.

"Oh, I'm still a novice as a healing magician, so I came here today to learn about healing magic from you, Olga-san.

The best place to train in healing magic is with Olga, who is more skilled in its use than Rose and I.

That's why I brought Nack with me. .......

"So, if you're worried about being on your own, I thought I could help you, even if I can't say I'm a replacement for Uluru.

""......""

"While Uluru-san and Usato-san are in the demon king's territory on an important mission, I will help Olga-san at the clinic!　I'll stay overnight if necessary, and I'll also train you properly. ......!"

""......""

"No?"

Seeing Nack now able to think and act for himself was a powerful reminder of his growth.

Ms. Olga, who was silently listening to Nack's words, called out Uluru's name, who was also listening.

"Uluru."

"I guess I'll have to break down now that you've said all this, Nack. ...... Nack-kun!"

Yes?

Nack's shoulders shake in surprise as he is suddenly called by name. Uluru leans over the table and pats him on the head.

"You've grown up while I haven't seen you for a little while now. I wonder if you are like Usato-kun in that way.

"Oh, thank you. ......"

Uluru-san looks happy to see Nack's growth.

Of course, as his mentor, I am also very proud of him.

......No, he really has grown up.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. Usato-kun, I'm going to join your mission to the demon king's territory!

"Yes. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Uluru-san became a member of the dispatched group.

With her devilish comic ability, she should be able to get along easily with the demon tribe members.

Well, anyway, .......

"Nack, do you want to eat something delicious on the way home?"

"Yes, sure. ......?"

"No, don't tell Nair and Ferrum, okay?"

"Usato, you have a soft spot for Nack, don't you? ...... No, I know Tong and the others do, too."

This is not naive.

It's like a just reward for Nack's growth.

"Don't worry, Mr. Uluru."

"What? What?"

Whenever I train, I'm always on my guard.

"I'm only worried about ......!　And Nack is nodding his head.

After that, Nack and I went home after eating some delicious food from a street vendor that Uluru introduced to us,...... but Nair and Ferrum, with their keen intuition and sense of smell, found out that we had eaten some delicious food on the way home, and we had to deal with another incident.
