The charges of spying on Riesenburg have been dismissed, and he promised to cooperate with the rescue operation, so we are free of charge.
I decided to have them sign the paperwork to register Reinhardt and the others themselves, since it was a good idea.
When three vicious skeletons appeared from the shadows of the sofa I sat on, I could see that Donovan-san, as expected of him, was taken aback.
'Well, let me introduce you. This metallic, rugged skeleton here is Reinhardt, the former Knight's squad leader. The matted titanium-colored skeleton next to him is former squad leader Basten. The carbon braggled skeleton next to the opposite is Fred, also a former squad leader.
The three of them all gave a knight's salute with their right fist to their left chest.
Yes, as expected, it's imposing and very cool.
I'm sorry to ask you to do this all the time, but when a swarm of demons comes to attack like today, will you cooperate with me?
''Of course I'll help you, Klaus. Volzard is already an important city for me to live in, so it's only natural to protect it.
Well, this may be annoying for Kent, but I'm feeling grateful to the Princess of Riesenburg.
'That's no good. That naughty princess will definitely need to be made to cry at least once, you know.
Ha, ha, I suppose...
I won't say it out loud, though, and I'll definitely make you ring it up on the bed.
Reinhardt and the others also shook hands with Klaus-san and Donovan-san.
I don't know what to say, but it seems that the strong men of the past have something in common with each other.
I want to become a reluctant adult who can join the circle.
Reinhardt and the others will have a belt made with a plate with the guild's emblem on it, and all of them will wear it on their left upper arm.
However, most of the normal tamer's are used by demons that take the place of horses, and Donovan-san has never heard of a tamed skeleton.
So, although we will register them, if the general public sees them, they might panic, so we will continue to act in the shadows as before, lurking in the shadows.
''Hmmm.......I hope that one day Reinhardt and the others will be able to walk the streets with a big smile on their faces.
"Bu-ha-ha-ha, we don't care if we're in the shadows or in the sun, as long as we can protect you, Master Kent.
'Yeah, I thought Reinhardt would say that, but my feeling is that I want to go for a walk around town with everyone else and have the people in town treat me normally.'
''Well, if you can save your fellow students, Master Kent won't have to hide his abilities, so I'll think about it then.
'Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.'
Let's succeed in rescuing our classmates in order to walk through the city with Reinhardt and the others in a dignified manner.
Leaving Klaus-san and Donovan-san, who said they had a meeting, I left the reception room a step ahead of them.
Phew, I was nervous after all, and the weight of my shoulders has been lifted a bit, so it's easier.
When I went down to the first floor of the guild, Manon and Muel-san were waiting for me.
''Kent, were you okay?''
I'm sorry, Gillik did something terrible...
No, I'm the one who's sorry for worrying you. It seems that the broken bones have been healed thanks to the blessing spell that was cast on me when I was in the merchant corps, and I've been able to clear up any misunderstandings Donovan may have had. Also, it seems that Gillik-san was taken seriously, and I'm rather grateful to him.
'Kent but I think Gillik went too far this time, no matter how much I think he did...'
Yeah, yeah, you're right Muel, I think it's probably too much, and it's easy to say bad things about Gillik here, but that doesn't make my point up.
''Muel-san, instead of saying bad things about Giliq-san, can't you praise me for being made to take you seriously...?''
'Kent ... yeah, well, Kent did a great job.
Woo! Mr. Muell gave me a hug!
Oh, no, it's bad, there's Yasha at the edge of your vision.
Manon is staring at his chest with eyes like Yasha's as he checks his own chest with a fluffy check.
Gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.
Mm-hmm, Kent always seems to be hungry.
''Ugh.......that's not funny........''
Duh, you didn't have to ring now, my stomack, even though I was getting a hug from Mr. Muell.
'Well, shall we have lunch together? Manon with you.
Well, I don't want to be the one to worry about you, so I'll just...
d*mn it, didn't I teach you not to embarrass your sister?
Yes, yes....
Oh, my God, Muelle did it again!
Ugh, Manon is staring at me again, it's not good, her puffy face is so cute.
By the way, lunch with Muel and Manon, both of them have flowers in their hands, don't they?
Haha--! Is it finally time for me to be popular? Is the harem event finally starting?
Oh, Kent, are you going to eat now? Well, let's get together for dinner, Donovan.
Well, I've had my doubts about a lot of things, so I'm going to buy you a meal.
'Well no, I don't mind, so...'
Let's go, Kent.
Come on. Let's go.
Yes I'll get it...
Whoa, that's funny, that's definitely funny, what about the flowers in your hands? What about the harem event? Ehhhhh.....
We ended up having lunch at the tavern attached to the guild, so why am I sandwiched between Klaus and Mr. Donovan?
That's it, bullying, isn't it? I know, you don't like me, do you? Goooooooo.
Moreover, the topic of conversation during the meal was the story of how the mysterious skeleton fought off a group of rock ogres.
The other adventurers gathered around and joined in the conversation.
I'm sure Kent-sama is trying to make a statement that this situation will be settled with this kind of talk.
I see........the official position of the lord and the guild on Reinhardt and the others.
The thing that's putting me in between you and me is that you're ready to shut me down if I make a careless comment.
No, so don't look at me like that, Donovan-san, I'm listening to you.
I'm not sure why you are looking at me with your eyes, Manon's modest chest is not my fault.
I mean, I don't know if I'm burned out and have meat on the extra part.
But Manon's pretty slim, so a little more meat would be nice.
'Kent, you're thinking of something rude, aren't you?
And no, no, I don't mean to be rude.
Ugh ... Kent's idiot.
Oh man, what a cute little creature, can't I take it home?
You shouldn't do that, Amanda would be mad at you.
'Kent and Manon are good friends, aren't they........'
'Well we did an apprenticeship as gardeners together the other day so...'
'Kent is naughty, so Mr. Muell better be on his guard.
''Wait....Manon, so that was an accident, or maybe a mistake...''
Mmm-hmm, I wonder what Kent has done?
I wonder what Manon is going to say all of a sudden, Muel-san has pursued it with a nimble smile.
''Bo, I didn't see anything.......irresistible or something.......and I only saw a little.......''
"Kent's s*x!
I'm sorry.
Kento you can tell your sister what you've done.
I wonder why Manon is so good at it.......wouldn't it be a suicide mission if they found out what happened?
Kent, dear boy you're going to give up and puke.
If the Lord of Volzard pursues me, I'll have to confess.
He laughed at me when I told him that I didn't think Manon was a girl and that I tried to take a bath with him after work, but he sprayed me with hot water and then hit me on the head with a tub.
See, Manon had to blush as much as he could when he got a warm look from me.
I'm not allowed to show off, am I?
"U-ha-ha-ha, that's your fault, Kent.
'I know that you don't have to tell me, Klaus-san...'
All right, Kent, I'll give you plenty of practice later. You can look forward to it.
'Ugh ... how did this happen ... oh, Mr. Donovan, please take Manon with you for the training.
Hey, Kent! Why does my name come up?
'What? As an apology, I just wanted to help Manon get stronger faster.
All right, in that case, I'll give Manon a lesson.
Yeah, I'm not going to...
What, you got a problem with that? Manon.
No, no, it's nice to meet you.
U-hi-hi-hi, you see, if you curse people, what's the point, Manon.
''Donovan, it's good to practice, but there was a demon attack today, so let them go home for a while so they can show their safe faces.
'Oh, yes, there was a rock ogre attack, but it was cleared away without doing anything, so I forgot about it.
'They didn't do any damage, but we've ordered an evacuation, so you'll be worried if you don't go home for any length of time. You guys need to stop wandering around and show up at your house or lodgings once.
Oh, lucky you, it looks like today's practice is cancelled.
Don't worry, Kent, we'll treat you another day.
Okay, yes thank you.
Eeeee........I can't escape after all.
Still, let's go back to the lodge for today and let Amanda-san know that I'm safe.
We parted from Manon and Muell-san in front of the guild and returned to the boarding house.
Since the evacuation order was lifted, the shops were open for business again, and people were coming back to the streets.
Amanda's restaurant was also open for business and the lunch crowd had finally died down.
'I'm home, Amanda,'
Oh, Kent, you're looking all right.
Yes, I was in the guild, so nothing dangerous happened.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Have you had lunch yet?
'Yes, I finished with everyone at the guild. So, Amanda, I'm going to go see if there's any damage to the Liebling plantation for a moment.
You know, you've been a big help to me. All right, be safe. Have a safe trip.
'Yes, I'll be back in time for dinner, then I'm off!
After saying no to Amanda-san, I was headed to Rustock's garrison, not Liebling Plantation.
I had only gone there last week to scout out the place, and I hadn't gone to check on it once since then, so I was concerned about the state of the committee chairman.
The other reason is to figure out how and when to get in touch with Ayako-sensei.
Once we sink into the shadows from the deserted alleyway, we'll be able to reach Rustock in no time at all.
Since we're here once more, we don't even need Fred's markings.
In the garrison's training area, training continues as it did last week when we arrived, divided into knight and surgeon types.
I just took a quick look, but I didn't see any significant changes in a week.
''How, Reinhardt, do you feel any change?''
It's not that there is no change from the last time. I'm not able to use self-healing, like Kent-sama, so I don't get stronger that easily.
"I see," he said, "but it's not usually the case that muscle pain and bruises heal quickly or that fatigue goes away so easily.
"Yes, there are limits to how much you can practice, and of course there are limits to your progress.
Does that mean that the Henachoco hero's magic is a gift from nature?
'Yes, that one seemed to have quite a few qualities.
d*mn, is that a handsome correction? Well, when it comes to magic, I'm in no position to complain about it, because I'm also in a pretty good situation.
It's a good thing that you're not the only one.
The only thing that matters is the fact that you have to be able to do what you want today.
While passing through the training grounds, I went to peek at Ayako-sensei's condition first.
Ayako-sensei, an earthy-attribute sorcerer type, was training in magic in a training ground that looked like a civil engineering site today as well.
Just like last week, she packed clay-like soil kneaded with water into a mold, and once it was shaped, she performed magic chanting.
'O mana, mana, O mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather into my hands and stain into the soil, stain, stain, stain, stain, stain into the soil, harden!'
As expected of a trainee teacher of English, he chants smoothly and activates the magic.
After the effect is finished, the knight of Riesenburg hits it with a hammer to check the workmanship.
There is a dry, hard sound.
''Hmm, the degree of hardening and uniformity is fine, good work, now we just need to work a little faster.
Yes, yes, I understand.
It's extremely annoying, who the hell does she think she is?
Come to think of it, Funayama should have been here too........oh, there he is.
Wow, what a week, I feel like I'm a bit of a maniac again, I have zero image of being fat anymore.
...let it soak into the soil, let it soak into the soil, let it soak into the soil, let it soak into the soil, let it harden.
I've never chanted to use magic before, but I knew it wouldn't work well with my faltering Funayama chant.
Sure enough, the knight's hammer, which had been making a dry sound when Ayako-sensei's work was inspected, was slammed into the ground, leaving a damp, dull sound.
''In front of you, you useless thing! How many times do I have to tell you? Is that head a decoration? Do you want me to rip it out of your hand? Gullah!
When you came last week, you still had some rebelliousness left in you, but now I can't find a shred of it.
I was hoping that you would help me rehabilitate Funayama, but I think you're working a little too fast.
What happened in the past week?
"Mr. Kent, they're probably making an example out of you.
"Showing off"? What do you mean?
"Wasn't he perhaps the one who rebelled the most, the one who stood out the most?
'Yeah, yeah, he's the most problematic kid in the year, and right after he was summoned, he grabbed on to that venal princess.
"And thus you are violated to show others that even they cannot stand against the Riesenburgers and will be punished if they rebel.
''But even so, I wonder if Funayama will turn out like this in a week...''
"Perhaps, Master Kent, that's with the added effect of the 'servant's band'?
'Oh, well, the bracelets make it impossible for you to disobey and be violent.
'Perhaps words are the only thing that can rebel.
I see, Funayama would be able to rebel to some extent without physical strengthening, since he's more powerful than most people, but he can't be violent due to the effect of the bracelet.
If even Funayama can't resist, the only people who try to rebel are the handsome man or the chairman of the committee, and those two are tied up together in a honey trap or clinic.
That evil princess has the worst character, but she's smart.
While thinking about this, Funayama was still being hurt.
''Please stop this already! You won't get better at chanting if you hit it that hard.
What, are you gonna give me some lip service?
Oh, Ayako-sensei, the first time I had my first class, Funayama was sloppy with me, and now you are going to take a stand to protect me?
Ayako-sensei, are you going to be transformed into a real angel too?
Please, Mr. Funayama doesn't have enough to eat, and he's weak both physically and mentally. It's impossible for you to successfully activate your magic in your current state.
"Don't be a spoiled brat! Those who fight demons, that's exactly what they do, they activate their magic to fight even in the last minute situation where their lives are on the line. If you can't use your magic at this level, be prepared to be eaten by the demon. Hey, just start over in front of you.
Geez...
The knight smacked Funayama's back as hard as he could with the wooden stick again.
Wow, that definitely hurt, it didn't feel like he was taking it easy at all.
''Wow, how about I do the chanting and you, Funayama-kun, focus on filling the formwork with dirt?
Oh, I see, little Ayako-sensei isn't very good at physical labor, but she can chant very well.
Funayama, on the other hand, is not good at chanting, but his body is unnecessarily large, so wouldn't it be a good idea for the two of them to team up?
Are you an idiot? If you do it that way, though, just because one of you is stuck, the other won't be able to work to your satisfaction. What we need is a full-fledged surgeon, we don't need half a man! You, too, get back to work!
"Hi, hi...
d*mn........he's a really annoying knight......but I think he has a point.
If Ayako-sensei's idea is true, if she's gone, Funayama won't be worth a d*mn.
Even now, Funayama's existence is worthless because he has lost his rebellious spirit.
Reinhardt, don't sorcerers have a division of labor after all?
It depends on the situation. For example, when a large building is being built, we divide up the work to be done in a specific location, but it's normal for each of us to work on that kind of component by ourselves.
'Well... but if you can't do magic, you're not a sorcerer, right?
That's what I'm saying.
Riesenburg's method may be correct for training a surgeon, even though there are problems with the method.
Nevertheless, if I were to attempt to contact Ayako-sensei, this training ground would be too open and there is a risk that the knights would find me.
I guess I'll just have to go back to my quarters and see if I can find the right moment to be alone.
"Mr. Kent, as for the method of contacting this person, how about a letter?
'Oh, well, if you're just handing me a letter, you won't have to wait long.
'Yes, and if it's a letter, you can let Fred have it and put it where you can see it at the right time.
Well, then I won't have to wait around for the right moment.
"And I suppose, Mr. Kent, that the letters in your world are different from those in ours?
'Yes! If you write it in Japanese, if it's ever discovered, they won't have to read the contents.
But if he finds out, he will be noticed, and it could jeopardize your rescue plan.
'Well, you're in a place where you can't get a letter, so yeah, we'll have to make sure they don't find you.
I decided to contact Ayako-sensei by letter first.
When we return to Volzard, let's examine the contents and start by writing a letter.
Oh, if you think about it, I've never written a letter before, what should I do?
First, where do I start writing, a seasonal greeting? Today is a beautiful day...............not.
Well, let's think about the letter when we get back to Volzard.
Next, I moved to the clinic where the chairman of the committee is, but there's an unusual feeling in the air.
'Why, why won't my boy help me?
'Don't ask me to do it, my saint cured you until you collapsed.
No....give it back, my boy, give it back, no, no, no!
A woman's screams echo through the clinic.
I hurriedly looked into the examination room and saw the chairman lying on the sofa with a very pale face and a girl about three or four years old lying on the examination table.
I tried to touch the girl's back through the shadows, but I couldn't feel her heartbeat.
I hurriedly tried to pour healing magic into the girl's body, but I can't feel it circulating through her body.
There is still warmth in the girl's body, but is it wrong that her heart has stopped beating?
If that's the case, I thought, I'll give her a heart massage..........but I'll have to get out of the shadows to do that.
The chairman of the committee seems to have fainted, but there are women who act as his assistants, so he can't be seen.
''d*mn it, even though you got the power, you can't save a single girl!
"Master Kent, there's nothing we can do for you now that your heart has stopped beating...
"There must be something we can do with it because if the heart beats, there is still hope...
"Master Kent no matter how much magic you have in your hands...
'Yes! I've got this!'
I can get anywhere in the shadows.
So I put my hand inside the girl's body and moved it, holding her heart directly in my hand.
"Come back here! Don't go yet! Come back!
I poured all the healing magic I could into my hand that held the heart and called out to the soul of the girl who must still be wandering nearby.
The feeling of direct contact with the human's internal organs was terrifying, but I focused my attention on healing.
I suddenly turned my gaze and saw the girl's spirit slip through the door of the infirmary? appeared.
'Did your brother call me?'
'Yes, come on, let's get back to the body, shall we?
The girl frowned and shook her head when she thought she would be back soon.
"If you don't go back, you won't see your mother.
"Yeah, I don't like that!
"So let's get back in there, and I'll see to it that I don't suffer too soon.
Is this really...?
"Yes, I promise, I'll get better soon and I'll spoil you a lot, mommy.
'Ummm ... yeah, I'll be back then, I promise, you can fix the pain.'
"Yes, I promise.
I nodded vigorously, and the girl smiled and swooped back into my body.
Immediately after that, the girl's heart beat in my hand.
''Alright, good job, I'll get you well soon!
He pulls his hands out of the girl's body and puts his hands behind her back and lets the healing magic flow in with all his might.
Unlike the first time, I can clearly feel the healing magic going through the girl's body.
I could feel my heart beating and my breathing stabilize.
With this, I should be okay now.
''Kent-sama........''
"I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time getting back to Volzard...
It's as if the healing has exhausted my magic and I feel a tremendous sense of weariness.
I returned to the alleyway of Volzard, but I couldn't make it back to the lodging house, and I lost consciousness while squatting.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The charges of spying on Riesenburg have been dismissed, and he promised to cooperate with the rescue operation, so we are free of charge.
I decided to have them sign the paperwork to register Reinhardt and the others themselves, since it was a good idea.

''Kent, were you okay?''

U-hi-hi-hi, you see, if you curse people, what's the point, Manon.
''Donovan, it's good to practice, but there was a demon attack today, so let them go home for a while so they can show their safe faces.
'Oh, yes, there was a rock ogre attack, but it was cleared away without doing anything, so I forgot about it.
'They didn't do any damage, but we've ordered an evacuation, so you'll be worried if you don't go home for any length of time. You guys need to stop wandering around and show up at your house or lodgings once.
Oh, lucky you, it looks like today's practice is cancelled.
Don't worry, Kent, we'll treat you another day.
Okay, yes thank you.
Eeeee........I can't escape after all.
Still, let's go back to the lodge for today and let Amanda-san know that I'm safe.
We parted from Manon and Muell-san in front of the guild and returned to the boarding house.
Since the evacuation order was lifted, the shops were open for business again, and people were coming back to the streets.
Amanda's restaurant was also open for business and the lunch crowd had finally died down.
'I'm home, Amanda,'
Oh, Kent, you're looking all right.
Yes, I was in the guild, so nothing dangerous happened.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Have you had lunch yet?
'Yes, I finished with everyone at the guild. So, Amanda, I'm going to go see if there's any damage to the Liebling plantation for a moment.
You know, you've been a big help to me. All right, be safe. Have a safe trip.
'Yes, I'll be back in time for dinner, then I'm off!
After saying no to Amanda-san, I was headed to Rustock's garrison, not Liebling Plantation.
I had only gone there last week to scout out the place, and I hadn't gone to check on it once since then, so I was concerned about the state of the committee chairman.
The other reason is to figure out how and when to get in touch with Ayako-sensei.
Once we sink into the shadows from the deserted alleyway, we'll be able to reach Rustock in no time at all.
Since we're here once more, we don't even need Fred's markings.
In the garrison's training area, training continues as it did last week when we arrived, divided into knight and surgeon types.
I just took a quick look, but I didn't see any significant changes in a week.
''How, Reinhardt, do you feel any change?''
It's not that there is no change from the last time. I'm not able to use self-healing, like Kent-sama, so I don't get stronger that easily.
"I see," he said, "but it's not usually the case that muscle pain and bruises heal quickly or that fatigue goes away so easily.
"Yes, there are limits to how much you can practice, and of course there are limits to your progress.
Does that mean that the Henachoco hero's magic is a gift from nature?
'Yes, that one seemed to have quite a few qualities.
d*mn, is that a handsome correction? Well, when it comes to magic, I'm in no position to complain about it, because I'm also in a pretty good situation.
It's a good thing that you're not the only one.
The only thing that matters is the fact that you have to be able to do what you want today.
While passing through the training grounds, I went to peek at Ayako-sensei's condition first.
Ayako-sensei, an earthy-attribute sorcerer type, was training in magic in a training ground that looked like a civil engineering site today as well.
Just like last week, she packed clay-like soil kneaded with water into a mold, and once it was shaped, she performed magic chanting.
'O mana, mana, O mana that governs the world, gather, gather, gather into my hands and stain into the soil, stain, stain, stain, stain, stain into the soil, harden!'
As expected of a trainee teacher of English, he chants smoothly and activates the magic.
After the effect is finished, the knight of Riesenburg hits it with a hammer to check the workmanship.
There is a dry, hard sound.
''Hmm, the degree of hardening and uniformity is fine, good work, now we just need to work a little faster.
Yes, yes, I understand.
It's extremely annoying, who the hell does she think she is?
Come to think of it, Funayama should have been here too........oh, there he is.
Wow, what a week, I feel like I'm a bit of a maniac again, I have zero image of being fat anymore.
...let it soak into the soil, let it soak into the soil, let it soak into the soil, let it soak into the soil, let it harden.
I've never chanted to use magic before, but I knew it wouldn't work well with my faltering Funayama chant.
Sure enough, the knight's hammer, which had been making a dry sound when Ayako-sensei's work was inspected, was slammed into the ground, leaving a damp, dull sound.
''In front of you, you useless thing! How many times do I have to tell you? Is that head a decoration? Do you want me to rip it out of your hand? Gullah!
When you came last week, you still had some rebelliousness left in you, but now I can't find a shred of it.
I was hoping that you would help me rehabilitate Funayama, but I think you're working a little too fast.
What happened in the past week?
"Mr. Kent, they're probably making an example out of you.
"Showing off"? What do you mean?
"Wasn't he perhaps the one who rebelled the most, the one who stood out the most?
'Yeah, yeah, he's the most problematic kid in the year, and right after he was summoned, he grabbed on to that venal princess.
"And thus you are violated to show others that even they cannot stand against the Riesenburgers and will be punished if they rebel.
''But even so, I wonder if Funayama will turn out like this in a week...''
"Perhaps, Master Kent, that's with the added effect of the 'servant's band'?
'Oh, well, the bracelets make it impossible for you to disobey and be violent.
'Perhaps words are the only thing that can rebel.
I see, Funayama would be able to rebel to some extent without physical strengthening, since he's more powerful than most people, but he can't be violent due to the effect of the bracelet.
If even Funayama can't resist, the only people who try to rebel are the handsome man or the chairman of the committee, and those two are tied up together in a honey trap or clinic.
That evil princess has the worst character, but she's smart.
While thinking about this, Funayama was still being hurt.
''Please stop this already! You won't get better at chanting if you hit it that hard.
What, are you gonna give me some lip service?
Oh, Ayako-sensei, the first time I had my first class, Funayama was sloppy with me, and now you are going to take a stand to protect me?
Ayako-sensei, are you going to be transformed into a real angel too?
Please, Mr. Funayama doesn't have enough to eat, and he's weak both physically and mentally. It's impossible for you to successfully activate your magic in your current state.
"Don't be a spoiled brat! Those who fight demons, that's exactly what they do, they activate their magic to fight even in the last minute situation where their lives are on the line. If you can't use your magic at this level, be prepared to be eaten by the demon. Hey, just start over in front of you.
Geez...
The knight smacked Funayama's back as hard as he could with the wooden stick again.
Wow, that definitely hurt, it didn't feel like he was taking it easy at all.
''Wow, how about I do the chanting and you, Funayama-kun, focus on filling the formwork with dirt?
Oh, I see, little Ayako-sensei isn't very good at physical labor, but she can chant very well.
Funayama, on the other hand, is not good at chanting, but his body is unnecessarily large, so wouldn't it be a good idea for the two of them to team up?
Are you an idiot? If you do it that way, though, just because one of you is stuck, the other won't be able to work to your satisfaction. What we need is a full-fledged surgeon, we don't need half a man! You, too, get back to work!
"Hi, hi...
d*mn........he's a really annoying knight......but I think he has a point.
If Ayako-sensei's idea is true, if she's gone, Funayama won't be worth a d*mn.
Even now, Funayama's existence is worthless because he has lost his rebellious spirit.
Reinhardt, don't sorcerers have a division of labor after all?
It depends on the situation. For example, when a large building is being built, we divide up the work to be done in a specific location, but it's normal for each of us to work on that kind of component by ourselves.
'Well... but if you can't do magic, you're not a sorcerer, right?
That's what I'm saying.
Riesenburg's method may be correct for training a surgeon, even though there are problems with the method.
Nevertheless, if I were to attempt to contact Ayako-sensei, this training ground would be too open and there is a risk that the knights would find me.
I guess I'll just have to go back to my quarters and see if I can find the right moment to be alone.
"Mr. Kent, as for the method of contacting this person, how about a letter?
'Oh, well, if you're just handing me a letter, you won't have to wait long.
'Yes, and if it's a letter, you can let Fred have it and put it where you can see it at the right time.
Well, then I won't have to wait around for the right moment.
"And I suppose, Mr. Kent, that the letters in your world are different from those in ours?
'Yes! If you write it in Japanese, if it's ever discovered, they won't have to read the contents.
But if he finds out, he will be noticed, and it could jeopardize your rescue plan.
'Well, you're in a place where you can't get a letter, so yeah, we'll have to make sure they don't find you.
I decided to contact Ayako-sensei by letter first.
When we return to Volzard, let's examine the contents and start by writing a letter.
Oh, if you think about it, I've never written a letter before, what should I do?
First, where do I start writing, a seasonal greeting? Today is a beautiful day...............not.
Well, let's think about the letter when we get back to Volzard.
Next, I moved to the clinic where the chairman of the committee is, but there's an unusual feeling in the air.
'Why, why won't my boy help me?
'Don't ask me to do it, my saint cured you until you collapsed.
No....give it back, my boy, give it back, no, no, no!
A woman's screams echo through the clinic.
I hurriedly looked into the examination room and saw the chairman lying on the sofa with a very pale face and a girl about three or four years old lying on the examination table.
I tried to touch the girl's back through the shadows, but I couldn't feel her heartbeat.
I hurriedly tried to pour healing magic into the girl's body, but I can't feel it circulating through her body.
There is still warmth in the girl's body, but is it wrong that her heart has stopped beating?
If that's the case, I thought, I'll give her a heart massage..........but I'll have to get out of the shadows to do that.
The chairman of the committee seems to have fainted, but there are women who act as his assistants, so he can't be seen.
''d*mn it, even though you got the power, you can't save a single girl!
"Master Kent, there's nothing we can do for you now that your heart has stopped beating...
"There must be something we can do with it because if the heart beats, there is still hope...
"Master Kent no matter how much magic you have in your hands...
'Yes! I've got this!'
I can get anywhere in the shadows.
So I put my hand inside the girl's body and moved it, holding her heart directly in my hand.
"Come back here! Don't go yet! Come back!
I poured all the healing magic I could into my hand that held the heart and called out to the soul of the girl who must still be wandering nearby.
The feeling of direct contact with the human's internal organs was terrifying, but I focused my attention on healing.
I suddenly turned my gaze and saw the girl's spirit slip through the door of the infirmary? appeared.
'Did your brother call me?'
'Yes, come on, let's get back to the body, shall we?
The girl frowned and shook her head when she thought she would be back soon.
"If you don't go back, you won't see your mother.
"Yeah, I don't like that!
"So let's get back in there, and I'll see to it that I don't suffer too soon.
Is this really...?
"Yes, I promise, I'll get better soon and I'll spoil you a lot, mommy.
'Ummm ... yeah, I'll be back then, I promise, you can fix the pain.'
"Yes, I promise.
I nodded vigorously, and the girl smiled and swooped back into my body.
Immediately after that, the girl's heart beat in my hand.
''Alright, good job, I'll get you well soon!
He pulls his hands out of the girl's body and puts his hands behind her back and lets the healing magic flow in with all his might.
Unlike the first time, I can clearly feel the healing magic going through the girl's body.
I could feel my heart beating and my breathing stabilize.
With this, I should be okay now.
''Kent-sama........''
"I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time getting back to Volzard...
It's as if the healing has exhausted my magic and I feel a tremendous sense of weariness.
I returned to the alleyway of Volzard, but I couldn't make it back to the lodging house, and I lost consciousness while squatting.
The charges of spying on Riesenburg have been dismissed, and he promised to cooperate with the rescue operation, so we are free of charge.I decided to have them sign the paperwork to register Reinhardt and the others themselves, since it was a good idea.When three vicious skeletons appeared from the shadows of the sofa I sat on, I could see that Donovan-san, as expected of him, was taken aback.'Well, let me introduce you.This metallic, rugged skeleton here is Reinhardt, the former Knight's squad leader.The matted titanium-colored skeleton next to him is former squad leader Basten.The carbon braggled skeleton next to the opposite is Fred, also a former squad leader.The three of them all gave a knight's salute with their right fist to their left chest.Yes, as expected, it's imposing and very cool.I'm sorry to ask you to do this all the time, but when a swarm of demons comes to attack like today, will you cooperate with me?''Of course I'll help you, Klaus.Volzard is already an important city for me to live in, so it's only natural to protect it.Well, this may be annoying for Kent, but I'm feeling grateful to the Princess of Riesenburg.'That's no good.That naughty princess will definitely need to be made to cry at least once, you know.Ha, ha, I suppose...I won't say it out loud, though, and I'll definitely make you ring it up on the bed.Reinhardt and the others also shook hands with Klaus-san and Donovan-san.I don't know what to say, but it seems that the strong men of the past have something in common with each other.I want to become a reluctant adult who can join the circle.Reinhardt and the others will have a belt made with a plate with the guild's emblem on it, and all of them will wear it on their left upper arm.However, most of the normal tamer's are used by demons that take the place of horses, and Donovan-san has never heard of a tamed skeleton.So, although we will register them, if the general public sees them, they might panic, so we will continue to act in the shadows as before, lurking in the shadows.''Hmmm.......I hope that one day Reinhardt and the others will be able to walk the streets with a big smile on their faces."Bu-ha-ha-ha, we don't care if we're in the shadows or in the sun, as long as we can protect you, Master Kent.'Yeah, I thought Reinhardt would say that, but my feeling is that I want to go for a walk around town with everyone else and have the people in town treat me normally.'''Well, if you can save your fellow students, Master Kent won't have to hide his abilities, so I'll think about it then.'Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.'Let's succeed in rescuing our classmates in order to walk through the city with Reinhardt and the others in a dignified manner.Leaving Klaus-san and Donovan-san, who said they had a meeting, I left the reception room a step ahead of them.Phew, I was nervous after all, and the weight of my shoulders has been lifted a bit, so it's easier.When I went down to the first floor of the guild, Manon and Muel-san were waiting for me.''Kent, were you okay?''I'm sorry, Gillik did something terrible...No, I'm the one who's sorry for worrying you.It seems that the broken bones have been healed thanks to the blessing spell that was cast on me when I was in the merchant corps, and I've been able to clear up any misunderstandings Donovan may have had.Also, it seems that Gillik-san was taken seriously, and I'm rather grateful to him.'Kent but I think Gillik went too far this time, no matter how much I think he did...'Yeah, yeah, you're right Muel, I think it's probably too much, and it's easy to say bad things about Gillik here, but that doesn't make my point up.''Muel-san, instead of saying bad things about Giliq-san, can't you praise me for being made to take you seriously...?'''Kent ... yeah, well, Kent did a great job.Woo!Mr. Muell gave me a hug!Oh, no, it's bad, there's Yasha at the edge of your vision.Manon is staring at his chest with eyes like Yasha's as he checks his own chest with a fluffy check.Gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.Mm-hmm, Kent always seems to be hungry.''Ugh.......that's not funny........''Duh, you didn't have to ring now, my stomack, even though I was getting a hug from Mr. Muell.'Well, shall we have lunch together? Manon with you.Well, I don't want to be the one to worry about you, so I'll just...d*mn it, didn't I teach you not to embarrass your sister?Yes, yes....Oh, my God, Muelle did it again!Ugh, Manon is staring at me again, it's not good, her puffy face is so cute.By the way, lunch with Muel and Manon, both of them have flowers in their hands, don't they?Haha--! Is it finally time for me to be popular? Is the harem event finally starting?Oh, Kent, are you going to eat now? Well, let's get together for dinner, Donovan.Well, I've had my doubts about a lot of things, so I'm going to buy you a meal.'Well no, I don't mind, so...'Let's go, Kent.Come on. Let's go.Yes I'll get it...Whoa, that's funny, that's definitely funny, what about the flowers in your hands? What about the harem event? Ehhhhh.....We ended up having lunch at the tavern attached to the guild, so why am I sandwiched between Klaus and Mr. Donovan?That's it, bullying, isn't it?I know, you don't like me, do you? Goooooooo.Moreover, the topic of conversation during the meal was the story of how the mysterious skeleton fought off a group of rock ogres.The other adventurers gathered around and joined in the conversation.I'm sure Kent-sama is trying to make a statement that this situation will be settled with this kind of talk.I see........the official position of the lord and the guild on Reinhardt and the others.The thing that's putting me in between you and me is that you're ready to shut me down if I make a careless comment.No, so don't look at me like that, Donovan-san, I'm listening to you.I'm not sure why you are looking at me with your eyes, Manon's modest chest is not my fault.I mean, I don't know if I'm burned out and have meat on the extra part.But Manon's pretty slim, so a little more meat would be nice.'Kent, you're thinking of something rude, aren't you?And no, no, I don't mean to be rude.Ugh ... Kent's idiot.Oh man, what a cute little creature, can't I take it home?You shouldn't do that, Amanda would be mad at you.'Kent and Manon are good friends, aren't they........''Well we did an apprenticeship as gardeners together the other day so...''Kent is naughty, so Mr. Muell better be on his guard.''Wait....Manon, so that was an accident, or maybe a mistake...''Mmm-hmm, I wonder what Kent has done?I wonder what Manon is going to say all of a sudden, Muel-san has pursued it with a nimble smile.''Bo, I didn't see anything.......irresistible or something.......and I only saw a little.......''"Kent's s*x!I'm sorry.Kento you can tell your sister what you've done.I wonder why Manon is so good at it.......wouldn't it be a suicide mission if they found out what happened?Kent, dear boy you're going to give up and puke.If the Lord of Volzard pursues me, I'll have to confess.He laughed at me when I told him that I didn't think Manon was a girl and that I tried to take a bath with him after work, but he sprayed me with hot water and then hit me on the head with a tub.See, Manon had to blush as much as he could when he got a warm look from me.I'm not allowed to show off, am I?"U-ha-ha-ha, that's your fault, Kent.'I know that you don't have to tell me, Klaus-san...'All right, Kent, I'll give you plenty of practice later. You can look forward to it.'Ugh ... how did this happen ... oh, Mr. Donovan, please take Manon with you for the training.Hey, Kent! Why does my name come up?'What? As an apology, I just wanted to help Manon get stronger faster.All right, in that case, I'll give Manon a lesson.Yeah, I'm not going to...What, you got a problem with that? Manon.No, no, it's nice to meet you.U-hi-hi-hi, you see, if you curse people, what's the point, Manon.''Donovan, it's good to practice, but there was a demon attack today, so let them go home for a while so they can show their safe faces.'Oh, yes, there was a rock ogre attack, but it was cleared away without doing anything, so I forgot about it.'They didn't do any damage, but we've ordered an evacuation, so you'll be worried if you don't go home for any length of time.You guys need to stop wandering around and show up at your house or lodgings once.Oh, lucky you, it looks like today's practice is cancelled.Don't worry, Kent, we'll treat you another day.Okay, yes thank you.Eeeee........I can't escape after all.Still, let's go back to the lodge for today and let Amanda-san know that I'm safe.We parted from Manon and Muell-san in front of the guild and returned to the boarding house.Since the evacuation order was lifted, the shops were open for business again, and people were coming back to the streets.Amanda's restaurant was also open for business and the lunch crowd had finally died down.'I'm home, Amanda,'Oh, Kent, you're looking all right.Yes, I was in the guild, so nothing dangerous happened.Oh, yeah, yeah.

Have a safe trip.'Yes, I'll be back in time for dinner, then I'm off!After saying no to Amanda-san, I was headed to Rustock's garrison, not Liebling Plantation.I had only gone there last week to scout out the place, and I hadn't gone to check on it once since then, so I was concerned about the state of the committee chairman.The other reason is to figure out how and when to get in touch with Ayako-sensei.Once we sink into the shadows from the deserted alleyway, we'll be able to reach Rustock in no time at all.Since we're here once more, we don't even need Fred's markings.In the garrison's training area, training continues as it did last week when we arrived, divided into knight and surgeon types.I just took a quick look, but I didn't see any significant changes in a week.''How, Reinhardt, do you feel any change?''It's not that there is no change from the last time.I'm not able to use self-healing, like Kent-sama, so I don't get stronger that easily."I see," he said, "but it's not usually the case that muscle pain and bruises heal quickly or that fatigue goes away so easily."Yes, there are limits to how much you can practice, and of course there are limits to your progress.Does that mean that the Henachoco hero's magic is a gift from nature?'Yes, that one seemed to have quite a few qualities.d*mn, is that a handsome correction?

Today is a beautiful day...............not.Well, let's think about the letter when we get back to Volzard.Next, I moved to the clinic where the chairman of the committee is, but there's an unusual feeling in the air.'Why, why won't my boy help me?'Don't ask me to do it, my saint cured you until you collapsed.No....give it back, my boy, give it back, no, no, no!A woman's screams echo through the clinic.I hurriedly looked into the examination room and saw the chairman lying on the sofa with a very pale face and a girl about three or four years old lying on the examination table.I tried to touch the girl's back through the shadows, but I couldn't feel her heartbeat.I hurriedly tried to pour healing magic into the girl's body, but I can't feel it circulating through her body.There is still warmth in the girl's body, but is it wrong that her heart has stopped beating?If that's the case, I thought, I'll give her a heart massage..........but I'll have to get out of the shadows to do that.The chairman of the committee seems to have fainted, but there are women who act as his assistants, so he can't be seen.''d*mn it, even though you got the power, you can't save a single girl!"Master Kent, there's nothing we can do for you now that your heart has stopped beating..."There must be something we can do with it because if the heart beats, there is still hope..."Master Kent no matter how much magic you have in your hands...'Yes! I've got this!'I can get anywhere in the shadows.So I put my hand inside the girl's body and moved it, holding her heart directly in my hand."Come back here! Don't go yet! Come back!I poured all the healing magic I could into my hand that held the heart and called out to the soul of the girl who must still be wandering nearby.The feeling of direct contact with the human's internal organs was terrifying, but I focused my attention on healing.I suddenly turned my gaze and saw the girl's spirit slip through the door of the infirmary? appeared.'Did your brother call me?''Yes, come on, let's get back to the body, shall we?The girl frowned and shook her head when she thought she would be back soon."If you don't go back, you won't see your mother."Yeah, I don't like that!"So let's get back in there, and I'll see to it that I don't suffer too soon.Is this really...?"Yes, I promise, I'll get better soon and I'll spoil you a lot, mommy.'Ummm ... yeah, I'll be back then, I promise, you can fix the pain.'"Yes, I promise.I nodded vigorously, and the girl smiled and swooped back into my body.Immediately after that, the girl's heart beat in my hand.''Alright, good job, I'll get you well soon!He pulls his hands out of the girl's body and puts his hands behind her back and lets the healing magic flow in with all his might.Unlike the first time, I can clearly feel the healing magic going through the girl's body.I could feel my heart beating and my breathing stabilize.With this, I should be okay now.''Kent-sama........''"I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time getting back to Volzard...It's as if the healing has exhausted my magic and I feel a tremendous sense of weariness.I returned to the alleyway of Volzard, but I couldn't make it back to the lodging house, and I lost consciousness while squatting.
