The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

It was not so bad in the land of the beastmen of a future I did not know.

Or, considering the fact that my life had been full of battles, I might say that I was able to lead a surprisingly peaceful life.

Amako's mother, Kanoko, has welcomed me with open arms, and the people of Hinomoto have been kind to me.

I have been happy to have the opportunity to visit the Hinomoto people. ...... I have occasionally had to wriggle inwardly when a student of the Kannagi-style comes to learn from me, but other than that, I have been pleasantly surprised,

"Canoko-sama is gone again!

I'm sure he hasn't gone far!

Where is he this time?　He was here just a moment ago!

If only it weren't for this.

As I sit on the porch, soaking up the sun and relaxing with a cup of tea, I hear such hurried voices from the servants in the house.

"It's so peaceful..."

"Kannagi, don't run away from reality, I'm going to find your mother."

"...... ung."

Amako calls out to me from behind as I try to escape reality.

I nod at her as she prepares to go outside, as if she is already used to it, and get up from the porch.

Ms. Kanoko regularly goes out for a walk.

She doesn't go out for long distances, just for a walk around the neighborhood, but it is a big deal for her to go out since she is not strong enough due to her precognition magic and a long time in a coma.

"It's been like that for a while now, but it's really ...... already."

It is also a problem that it was not an aftereffect of the coma for many years, but simply the origin of the coma.

To tell the truth, she is just like my sister.

"My sister was just like Ms. Kanoko. She was not a fighter, she was a soft and gentle person, and if you ...... took your eyes off her, she would disappear as soon as you left her alone."

"Heredity from my ancestors ......!"

"Yeah, uh, well, ...... I guess so. ......"

Although they may share the same bloodline, Amaco appears to be quite solid.

I wonder if his father had more influence on his personality?

They continue their conversation while looking for Mr. Kanoko in the city.

"What kind of people were your ancestors like, Kannagi's sister ......?"

"Well, she was a kind person. She took care of me when I was fighting all the time, and she was the one who organized the beastmen who had been freed from slavery at that time.

He was also the one who tried to change the environment of the beastmen in a way other than fighting.

If I showed the power of the beastmen by force of arms, it would not be an exaggeration to say that my sister united the beastmen by her aspirations.

"......Was it hard for you?"

"Hm?　What?

"Waking up and finding that everything you knew had changed."

"......"

To be honest, I was shocked.

If I could have, I would have liked to see my sister happy, and I would have liked to live in the world after the Demon Lord was defeated.

"It was hard, but I'm still having fun.

The present where I stand now.

It is a future made possible by a series of miracles that Hisago could never have imagined.

I'm sure that the brave man with the curly hair must have thought that there were only two choices: either the Demon King would win and mankind would lose, or the Demon King would die and mankind would win.

That's why I want to laugh at him so much.

There is a future here and now that is much more hopeful than the miserable ideal future you envisioned.

Hinomoto, the Kingdom of Lingle, and the Lifeguard Corps are like a familiar home to me now. I think about the past, but I don't think I wish I could go back to that time anymore."

"...... I see."

For me, it's over.

From now on I will just live my life the way I want to.

"So, it's not hard being single all the time?"

"Then is it hard for you to be single forever?"

You just came in here and gutted me.

I've only been physically alive for 18 years, but the years that have passed have been too much for me, so it's relatively hard. .......

"Um, um, well, um,......"

"Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing."

No, I'm aware that I'm easy to understand.

How can this girl be so optimistic for someone so much younger than me?

"...... Usato fills his thoughts with missions and training, so I think he subconsciously avoids taking his thoughts in that direction."

"Oh, I see. You have a lot of work to do."

"Yes. That's why I've recently learned that it's different from simple insensitivity."

Usato has always been on a mission of some kind.

The first war was a mission as a rescue mission.

The journey to deliver the letter was a mission as an emissary of the Kingdom of Lingle.

His journey to defeat the Demon King was also for the same purpose of ending the battle. ...... His dispatch to the Demon King's territory this time was for the mission "to stand between humans and demons" that he declared in the battle against the Demon King.

Considering this, it is quite understandable that he has no time to be distracted by his love life.

"Even if you omit that part, he's still a bit dull..."

"Haha ......"

"If I take my eyes off it, it attracts something weird."

"......"

This time, not even a dry smile escaped my lips.

It was an undeniable fact.

"I've already given up on Usato's personality and all that."

"Oh, you've given up."

"Because, in the main, it wasn't Usato's fault in the first place."

Yes, it is.

Sometimes I ask for help like the other me, and most of the time I have to make the decision that Usato needs to help.

I guess it is more correct to say that I am in a position and situation where I am more likely to get into trouble than I am to get caught up in it.

"!　Found ......."

"I guess so."

We see the scene where they found Mr. Kanoko by precognitive magic.

About ten seconds later, you find her walking with a man at the end of the alley.

"Oh, Amako. Have you come looking for me?"

"Huh, I guess he was just walking around without saying anything," says Amako. I'm sure she was just walking around without saying anything. ......

Kanoko-san, who had been sent by Hayate, the chief of Hinomoto, smiled softly and apologetically.

Why is Hayate here?

He noticed my gaze and pulled out a letter from his pocket with a wry smile.

"I received a letter from Usato addressed to you and me," he said.

"What, from Usato?"

"What do you mean?　Hayate?

Amako asked him, holding on to Kanoko's tail to keep her from running away.

As I recall, he had a personal relationship with Ms. Hayate and had made a contract with her at Hoo-Bird ......, right?　Since he is supposed to be in the Demon Lord's territory now, it is safe to assume that he has sent me a message from there.

"The message directed to me is asking for permission to join you with Usato in the Demon Lord's territory."

"...... something happened?"

"The details are here. I've read through it myself,......, but I think it would be quicker if you actually saw it."

He opens the letter given to him by Hayate and reads through the text.

Sure enough, it is from Usato.

The contents are at .......

"---"

"Kannagi ......?"

The hand that holds the letter is filled with strength.

I was speechless at the unbelievable contents, and I fell back with vertigo, supported by Ms. Kanoko.

"What's wrong?　Hayate-kun, you mustn't show anything strange to Nagi-chan.

"No, that's not it. Why am I being blamed here? ...... have you understood the situation?

I nodded at Hayate's voice.

The situation may be much worse than I imagined.

I'm not sure.

I encountered a girl who has the memories and magic of Mr. Hisago.

Her name is Shea Garmio.

She may be so tormented by her memories that she is unable to even make a calm decision.

The demons are after her and she is in danger.

She may need your help.

You may need your help.

That old man has left us something more troublesome this time.

How could it be imprinted on an innocent girl when neither memory nor magic is absolutely necessary?

At least the Hisago I knew would not have been such a fool ...... to do such a shallow thing.

"I'm going to meet up with Usato."

"...... got it. But to enter the Demon Lord's territory from Hinomoto, you must pass through the demon territory. If you are capable of doing this, don't worry, but please wait a while so that I can make the appropriate preparations.

Shea Garmio...... would like to join up with Usato as soon as possible for her own safety, but we can't rush into any unforeseen situations, so let's wait and calm down first.

"Well then, Amako is with us."

""Nn!"""

Oddly enough, Hayate's voice overlaps with Kanoko's.

Amako, who is being hugged from behind by Kanoko's arms, looks up at her with a stern gaze.

"No, it was only Kannagi who called me..."

"I'm sure Usato-kun needs you, too."

"On what basis is that ......?"

"It's my mother's intuition."

"I didn't believe it all at once. ......"

"Huh?"

Amako is dismayed, but Kanoko is still smiling.

...... Hmmm...

"No, Amako, let's go together."

"What, Kannagi too?"

"It's one thing to have you around with your strong precognition magic, but if I leave you alone in Hinomoto, it's going to be hard to get back to the Lingle Kingdom, isn't it?"

"That's true, but..."

Although public awareness is changing, the position of the beastmen remains as precarious as ever.

It would be too uncertain to let Amako return the distance from Hinomoto to the Kingdom of Lingle alone, and Amako would not want to make such a big move that would require the help of Mialark or other countries.

If that is the case, it would be quicker to go with me to the Demon Lord's territory, finish my mission in two months, and return with Usato and the others to the Kingdom of Lingle.

"I was originally planning to return to the Lingle Kingdom after two months, and that's fine with you, too, isn't it?"

"...... if it's not too much trouble. Okay."

"It's demon territory, but ...... yes, there are two precognition wizards, and most importantly, I'm very strong, so I should be fine."

"I know that. I know that. I have a suspicion that your arm is stronger than Usato's."

I don't know, I can't help but feel like I'm being treated like an outsider when you quote Usato.

Well, I don't mean that I treat Usato as a monster.

Anyway, we are going to meet up with Usato and the others in the Demon Lord's territory. ......Hisago is really doing a lot of unnecessary things.

I should have punched him when I could.
