Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

This case is our fault.”

“… Usato?”

“What are you saying …”

 

Neah glanced at me.

Although she was occasionally cheeky and annoying and troublesome, I was helped by her many times.

Without her, I might not have been here now.

It was thanks to her that she saved Eva.

Therefore, there is no way to impose responsibility on her anymore.

 

“We defeated the wicked dragon, but in the first place, one of our current friends revived the wicked dragon lightly in order to catch us.”

“That is……”

“It’s this girl Neah, who is next to me now.”

 

Neah’s face turned blue in response to my words.

Norn-sama had a face as she could not understand what’s going on, but Leona-san had a stern look.

 

“But now she’s my companion, so I can’t let this one take all the responsibility.”

“What would you do? Usato”

 

Here, Falga-sama asked that.

I answered the question clearly as if I had expected it.

 

“Let us help you stop Karon-san”

 

In the first place, it is impossible to ignore the situation where Karon could become the second wicked dragon.

“Fumu, inexperienced girl.
He has said it, do you accept it?

“Eh, ah … I’ll take it.
Please help us.”

 

Norn-sama, who was stunned, returned from consciousness.

Falga-sama sighs at her and shifts his gaze.

 

“Usato.
Karon’s berserk is definitely due to your companion, but I want to thank you.”

“……Why?”

 

Although we were the ones to blame, there should be no so-called gratitude.

Speaking of his other half, I have defeated the existence that can be called Falga-sama’s brother.

 

“Originally, the time when he woke up would have been 300 years later.
It seems that he had been sealed so strongly.
If the seal was broken, I couldn’t even stop it.
No, I can’t be sure that there is something in this world 300 years later that can completely defeat him before he turns it into a complete disaster.
Worse case,  there’s the possibility that two-thirds of the land’s creatures would be killed.
“

“…”

 

Both Norn-sama and Leona-san’s faces turned pale.

Having actually met the wicked dragon, thinking that he might have rampaged without reason, I shook my face.

Probably because his consciousness and intellect remained here, there was only destruction in mind.

What if the destruction continues indiscriminately in the true sense?

What if he were to sprinkle poison everywhere?

What if he were to assault the country with unrivaled strength and scales of an iron wall that could not be hit?

I’m sure no one can beat the wicked dragon.

 

“And … he’s fallen into evil, but he’s half of me.
It’s not a very pleasant story to have only the soul tied to the world like that.
He must sleep peacefully——and so does the one who has done all the evil.
“

 

Falga-sama’s words about the wicked dragon were somewhat sad.

 

“For what purpose did that youngster bind his soul to the world? I understand the reason, but in any case it is not a good reason for the living to play with the dead.”

“Do you know why the hero bound the soul of the wicked dragon to the world?”

 

At this point, Neah, who had finally regained composure, asked.

It seems that she was also interested in the actions of the hero.

 

“Of course, but I’m not kind enough to teach you that.
It doesn’t make sense to teach the youngster here what he’s trying to do.
No … even what he does as a hero will be meaningless to explain.
“

 

…‥ In other words, he has nothing to say about the hero?

However, if the time when the wicked dragon wakes up from the seal is 300 years later — what the hero was trying to do may have had an impact on the future.

 

“You don’t have to understand it now.
You’ll know it as long as you face the threat of the Demon King.
Moreover….”

 

Falga-sama returned his eyes to me.

 

“There is one thing I want to make sure when you stop Karon.”

“What would that be?”

“I do not know how much you have fought with Karon.
I do know that you and your companions have defeated the wicked dragon, but I want to confirm the power of each of you.”

“… Alright, so how would you want to do that?”

“Then, should I be the partner of Usato?”

 

When I asked what format he would like to test my abilities, Leona-san came up as my opponent.

 

“In my opinion, he has a power that ordinary knights can’t compete with.
I may not have enough power, but if you look at a part of his ability —“

“No, you are not Usato’s opponent”

 

Leona-san’s words were interrupted.

Falga-sama, who was rugged somewhere, stared at Leona-san.

 

“It is true that you are the best partner for Usato.
However, just being the best is not the best.
If you have doubts about your position and are at a loss in your heart, you will not be able to demonstrate your true abilities.”

“That is……”

“If it’s a match, you’ll win.
But if it’s an actual battle, you’ll definitely lose.
You have to be convinced of the “position” you’re in right now and try to fulfill your responsibilities as that position.
“

“…”

 

Falga-sama looked at me when Leona-san went silent.

Is Leona-san wondering? I was surprised at the fact that she, who was able to fight against Karon, is still not showing more power than she can.

“Let’s prepare your opponent with my magic”

“You can create opponents with magic …?”

“No, no.
It’s not ‘creating’.
It’s ‘calling’.”

 

…… Hmmmmm? I have a very bad feeling about this.

My sixth sense is tingling.

Regardless of me who couldn’t stop sweating, Falga-sama quietly activated magic from his big hand and let the tip of his cracked nail touch the fountain.

Then, the water from the spring forms a circle and emerges from the surface of the water.

 

“This is a [mirror image magic].
It is magic that reflects the object, and it is a magic that calls the person reflected in the subject’s mind to this place for three minutes.”

“… Magic that acts on space-time … What power…”

 

Neah looks in the mirror stunningly and mutters such a thing.

However, Falga-sama snorts as though he’s not impressed.

 

“If the wicked dragon is a dragon that controls power, I am a dragon that controls wisdom.
I can’t directly fight with power, but the many magics that I learned through my wisdom are the greatest weapons.
So something like this is easy for me.
“

 

Although it was limited to only 3 minutes, the magic of calling someone from a distance was certainly a feat.

Because he’s a god dragon, his lifespan is many times longer — no, it will be dozens of times longer, so it would not be strange for him to remember countless magics.

 

“Let’s limit what we are calling from now on”

“Wait, limited? So I don’t get to choose?”

“What a joke, that wouldn’t have any meaning.
It doesn’t make sense unless someone can fight you to some extent.”

 

That’s true, but …

Well, even if my opponent is a monster, what I do is the same.
Fortunately, I don’t use much magical power, and it’s okay to fight for about three minutes.

For the time being, I took a deep breath, calming my mind and strengthening myself so as not to panic.

 

“The conditions are limited to——– ‘the ones you fought and the most angry’, but those who have already died or are not willing to fight shall be excluded from the conditions.”

 

The most angry person ……? The person who is willing to fight ……?

There are no wicked dragons or snakes anymore, and Ferme probably … has no intention of fighting me … Fegnis-san is the same.

Well, wait a minute, only one person has an idea.

 

“What’s wrong Usato … Your face is starting to pale …?”

“Neah, if you don’t help me now, I’ll be beaten to a pulp.”

“Huh !? I can’t imagine you being beaten up though !?”

 

You can say that because you don’t know her.

At least she is much stronger than me and has no mercy.

No, she’s been forgiving and adjusting, but even if I include it, it’s still a strength that I can’t compete with.

 

“Usato, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, Amako”

 

Amako and Ark-san, who saw the person who would come out from now on, looked at me with anxiety.

A person who will meet all the conditions.

I was hit by her training many times ―――,

I turned my anger many times during training ―――,

So speaking of people who are willing to fight …

 

“Then I’ll call that person.
Are you ready?”

“Eh !?”

 

Isn’t it too early !?

Please wait.
If I didn’t anticipate, there could be an unspeakable level of genocide, let alone a mock combat !?

When Falga-sama puts magical power into the mirror, light is emitted from the surface of the transparent mirror.

When the light subsided, a landscape different from the view of the dim cave was projected on the mirror.

 

“— Ah, ahhhh shit …”

 

At the end of the mirror ―――.

A familiar black-haired boy and a familiar silver-haired girl was lying down on the ground.

And there stood the figure of my master, my boss, the rescue squad leader Rose, looking down at them with a terrible smile.
