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

Early next morning, I steadied my shaking right hand, which was holding the sword I got from the king, while looking at the vast plains before me .

It will be fine It will be fine

I said to myself, trying to persuade, trying to distract my mind from the uneasiness .

The battle will start as soon as the shadow of the demon army appears . To be honest, I think it would be better if the demon army doesnt come . If they dont, we wont have to fight and none of the people I got to know in this world will die .

Senpai and my role as the hero was to intercept the enemy forces the moment they appear and clear a path to the enemy general and, if possible, take down the general, as well . Only if it is possible . Sigris-san really emphasized on that part but she probably said that being worried about us . As he is the army commander, he probably has feelings of guilt making us, former general public, fight in such a battle .

Kazuki-kun, dont overexert yourself . If you dont like fighting, the rear

Senpai, standing beside me, began saying .

It is fine . Theres no need to worry about me .

You say that but

Senpai, dont you have some worries, as well?

I do feel uneasy, if thats what youre saying I feel kinda wrong about saying this at a time like this but, to be honest, I feel a sense of exaltation .

Exaltation? I had accompanied her as the vice president in the previous world but I have never seen her use such a vague word .

But I somehow understand what she is trying to mean . And so, I will

I dont understand what you feel, senpai .

Fufu, thought so According to Usato-kun, I am a weirdo . I just have a different mindset than normal .

Weirdo? Did Usato say that?

Usato was able to say such a word about senpai?

Yea, it was when Usato-kun and I went missing Well, its not something we should be talking about now . I will tell you about it if we make it back properly .

If we make it back you say .

You have a reason for which you must return, right?

She said with a smile .

She is probably the only person who can make such an expression in a tense situation like this . If you look at it negatively, you might say that she is never serious and looking at it positively, she would seem very reliable .

Yes . and besides I have someone waiting for my return .

Kazuki-kun, I think your way of saying that is a bit wrong

What do you mean?

Eh?! Ahh, never mind yep, never mind .

I cant help but feel suspicious as she suddenly turned pale and turned to look towards the plains . Did I say something weird?

I was about to say something about her somewhat suspicious behavior but right at that moment, intense chills ran throughout my whole body . And I reflexively turned my glance towards the plains .

However, there were no signs of the demon army yet But I could tell that they were getting close .

Senpai was also looking at the plains with a tensed face .

Senpai!

. They have come .

Sigris-san has also probably noticed .

After all, just after I had felt the chill, messengers were sent out to inform all the squads . Just as planned, the soldiers specializing in magic started coming up front .

. Lets start preparing as well .

Got it!

I took a deep breath to calm myself and started raising my mana .

My magic is light I dont know how much this will be able to affect the demon army but I will the do as much as I can . I started accustoming my body to the flowing mana .

As expected, it really is hard to get used to . Feeling magic, that is .

[We are the kingdoms army! Lets fight to our limit to crush the demon army!]

Sigris-san was raising his voice at the back to raise the morale of the army . Hearing his voice, the soldiers eyes also lit up .

[We will fight for the king! For the people! For our Ringul kingdoM!!]

The anxiety from the soldiers eyes had disappeared and they also started raising their voice with Sigris-san . It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say it was an amazing spectacle, seeing 1500 soldiers raise their voices .

.

Among all this noise and shakes, a black shadow appeared on top of a hill in the plains . That shadow was very small probably because it was very far away, but it was pure black reminding us of the darkness .

What is that

Gradually, the shadow started surging out and kept increasing .

That form was clearly not of a human and was dispersed . Although there were a few points where it was shared, the points spread about was more . There were ones with horns and ones with dark brown skin, as well .

All of these were taking human shape .

You cant be serious that doesnt really have that much of a difference from humans, does it

Those things which came from the other side of the plains were also raising their voices and came advancing towards us with weapons .

I thought they would be shaped more like monsters . That they would probably have 6 hands, multiple heads or something I had thought they would be like amoebas, without any particular shape too . Can I really attack this? They have the same form as humans Theres no way I can-

Prepare, magic squad!!

Wha?!

Being brought back to reality by Sigris loud voice, I shook off the cowardly thoughts that were coming to my head and looked forward towards the demon army sprinting towards us .

We are the forerunners . Can you do it?

I will do it I have no other choice!!

I thrust my fist forward and gathered mana .

I had used it against monsters but this would be my first against human-shaped opponents But I will get killed if I hesitate . I have no other choice .

Dont think badly of me now

The squad in front was also thrusting their fists forward to use magic matching us .

When the demon army enters the shooting range, we will all shoot at once .

We must make the first move strong and flashy .

Senpai also had lightning rushing throughout her body . Seems like she was also ready .

I was also ready to release my magic anytime The other soldiers were also ready . Our preparations to intercept them were done but the demon army was not slowing down . That reckless strategy was just like a kamikaze attack .

[Fire at my signal!]

The distance between the two armies kept decreasing . I cant go back anymore, I gritted my teeth, opened my eyes wide and-

[Fireeeeee!!!!]

Uuuuooooooooooohhhh!!

I released white, dazzling light magic towards the demon army with all my might . After a bit, all the different kinds of magic fired by us flooded the demon army .

. It has begun .

I could hear a big explosion, along with angry voices and loud noise . I guess we could take this as the start of the war .

At present, we, the life-saving squad, were lined up in front of the our leader, Rose .

I think you already understand but The ones with healing magic are to standby here for the time being . The ones with black clothing are to go bring the wounded here .

[Yes!!]

The strong-looking, black-clothed soldiers raised their voices with energy .

But isnt the design of their clothes kinda weird? For a jacket-like upperwear to be black completely makes them look like criminals . Wont anyone want to cry if they are caught by these guys?

The grey clothing people will work here . But remember to escape in times of emergency .

[Yes!!]

Orga-san and Ururu-san were wearing the same grey clothing as me and Rose .

These two are the two major people here, bearing the core responsibilities .

And so, you and I will go out into the battlefield as the war progresses .

Understood .

Alright then, without delay Tong, Aleck, Mill, Gomul and Guld, I leave it to you .

[Yes!!]

Hm, then go . Return alive like last time .

They again raised their voice .

Although I dont think I need to worry about these guys . . But still, I feel a touch of uneasiness . That these guys will be killed by the demon king Nope, probably not .

We saw off Tong and the others noisily exit the tent . We were still on standby inside the tent .

I wonder if senpai and Kazuki are okay The war has already started

You worried about your friend?

Ururu-san of course, they are my friends, after all .

I am worried about Usato-kun~

What does that

Just when I was about to ask what she meant, one of the strong-faced men came rushing into the tent .

That man was Tong, one of our organising members of the life-saving squad . He came walking towards us, easily carrying a woman, who was crying, on his shoulders .

I have brought one!!

That was fast!

Ururu-san and my voice overlapped .

It hasnt even been 5 minutes since the fight started .

This is natural, it is war . It is normal for there to be injuries . They will keep coming one after another . Tong, leave her with Usato and bring the next .

Yes! Oi Usato, here .

Y-yes .

She was badly hurt on her shoulder and feet by a sharp object .

Uu that face, scary

How sad She is probably crying because of the pain yes, that must be it . But its fine now, the pain will disappear .

Usato-kun, you must not avert your eyes from reality

Cant hear you .

For some reason, the female soldier kept persistently trying to cling on to me . Holding her down, I put my hand over the wounds and used healing magic . Wounds like this will be healed quickly .

The wound was healed in just a few seconds .

Are you okay?

You are . Ri-right after I got wounded in the fight the plan failed the demon army with illusion magic a big monster and black enemy kidnap

Please calm down .

Looks like her memory has gotten cloudy due to the shock . Its probaly temporary but The plan failing, illusion magic, a big monster and black enemy .

. Black enemy wearing black armour .

!!

Pain rushed through my head . A vision recreated in my mindof a beast girl .

Why am I remembering that now This makes it feel as if-

Like Kazuki and Senpai are going to die .

Usato-kun! Help here!!

Ah! Got it!!

They will probably be fine, since its Kazuki and senpai . They are much more stronger than me . They wont die so easily .

But, if if they are in danger, I will-

I have no other choice .

Healing the injured is my job and saving the lives of my allies . Is also my job .
