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

Once Usato-kun restrained the enemys Black Knight, it greatly influenced the Maou army .

Their morale had drastically dropped and before long, the Kingdoms soldiers started going on the offense .

Right now, I was lending my shoulder to Kazuki-kun and I was acting as Usatos guard as he was treating several soldiers . Usato-kun let down the Black Knight that was wrapped in a coat and started healing the soldiers at a surreal speed with a nonchalant look on his face .

Let me ask you, Usato-kun . Just what did you do?

. I understand, but We dont have that much time right now, you know?

It wasnt long before Usato-kun quickly took hold of the Black Knight again .

Hes been using just his bare hands to fight in this war . No, it wasnt uncommon to use hand-to-hand combat to fight in a war . But there was something peculiar about his fight .

The Black Knights power didnt affect Usato-kun at all .

Senpai, its not like Im special or anything Even I dont exactly know whats going on . Or rather I want to ask, just what did I do?

Well even if you ask me All I saw was you punching and kicking

The Black Knight had the frightening ability to reflect any attack .

Such a dangerous power to counter wasnt recorded in any of the history books .

But Usato-kun used his fists to defeat them . Even he doesnt know why he was able to break through the Black Knights power . That was why I couldnt fully comprehend just how strange this truly was .

I mean, I was using healing magic while I was striking .

. . Un?

Using healing magic while punching?

But wouldnt that be meaningless It would just heal the opponent after you damage them

Yes, I dont understand the reason for it at all . Thats why I dont understand how this fellow here got injured .

I could see that the Black Knight was at a loss for words while Usato-kun was sighing .

To begin with, I didnt understand the point of using a punch that would heal the other party . It was interesting since it fit Usato-kun who didnt want to hurt the opponent but that wasnt an answer .

Usato-kun continued to speak as I was lost in my own thoughts .

If you dont want to hurt your opponent, just hit them and heal them at the same time until they faint . Is what Rose said . I was surprised but its true that I find it unpleasant to hurt my opponent .

Nn? Nnnnnnn? Usato-kun, I feel like theres something wrong with that .

Eh? Is there something wrong with that? The injuries will be healed but the shock from the impact and pain could knock the opponent out . Its something I can do because it wont harm my opponent . Although I only used it this time because you said the opponent would just repel my attacks . Ah, its not that someone forced me to use this method . Im using it because of my own selfishness .

Usato-kun Youve Really been corrupted . Even though Im the one saying it, youve been corrupted ever since arriving to this world .

. . Hmm .

Punching while healing .

An armor that reflects pain .

There should be some connection to Usato-kun and the Black Knights magic .

He simply punched .

Punching while healing .

Was that skill even remotely useful!? Would be what most people would think but Usato-kun was diligently performing that strange punch . If he logically thought about it, he would just heal his opponent no matter how much damage he did . His line of thinking completely lacked common sense . You could say hes abnormal .

Senpai . I have a feeling you were thinking something rude about me just now?

N-no?

For now, lets assume that his fists were able to penetrate the Black Knights armor because of a special characteristic that his magic held .

This was just my hypothesis but maybe the reflection conditions for the black armor required some kind of injury to be etched onto it . A blow from a punch or a sword slash would definitely leave something on that armor . Once the Black Knight recognizes it as an attack, they could reflect it back .

I experienced it for myself first hand . It took a few seconds before a wound appeared on my chest . In other words, it was activated manually instead of automatically .

But even with an invincible armor like that, there were still exploits .

Healing magic could heal living beings .

If the Black Knights armor was inanimate it would be a different story but the user themselves said it was armor created from their magic .

If my guess was right, there were three reasons as to why Usato-kun could break through their armor .

Number one, he applied healing magic on his fists as he was attacking .

Number two, as he did damage, he also rapidly healed it . The healing speed was fast enough that the armor didnt recognize Usato-kuns attack .

Number three, in the instant that Usato-kun was using healing magic, the impact from his punches still made their way through the armor and inflicted direct damage to the Black Knights inner body .

It was an absurd guess but seeing the face of the Black Knight being restrained by coat, I was sure she was thinking the same thing .

. As expected of you, Usato-kun .

Um, Im bothered by that fact that you convinced yourself with your own interpretation Actually, what should we do with this person? Its not like I could carry them around forever .

While carrying the Black Knight over his shoulders, Usato-kun stood up and pointed to them .

Beside Usato-kun, I could see that the painful expression from the soldiers faces had disappeared . So fast . I thought so when he healed me but his healing magic was really in a different dimension .

Theyll probably be treated as a prisoner .

They wont be treated cruelly right?

I dont think King Lloyd would do that .

It was that kind King after all . They might question the Black Knight but I dont think theyll do anything too severe .

. But for a while now, Ive been curious about something

Just how long are you going to carry the Black Knight, I mean, this girl over your shoulders?

There shouldnt be any problems letting them down .

This uniform is something like a symbol of status on this battlefield . This will let the knights fighting here know that Im part of the Rescue Squad which is why

I see, then youll need something else to bind them Also

Also?

Thank you for coming to save me . If Usato-kun didnt come, we would be dead by now .

In reality, it was a fatal wound . It hurt so much and I probably wont ever forget the sensation of growing weaker as I continuously lost blood . In addition I was having regrets as I was thinking that Im going to die in a place like this .

I would die without leaving anything behind, I would die without achieving anything . If I died, would my friends die too? I would die without being able to keep my promise .

While I was thinking that over and over and over and over again, you appeared .

Obviously I would come . Inukami-senpai is my important and weird Senpai while Kazuki is my friend .

Nn?

Anyways, Senpai . The enemy is gradually retreating . Its probably because we captured this fellow We should give a push here to gain advantage .

. . Just now, was he referring to me as the weird Senpai?

N-no, that didnt matter at the moment . Leaving that aside, Usato-kun was right . We should press the advantage here . If it was Sigris, he would say the same thing .

Inukami-sama! Kazuki-sama is awake!

!

After hearing the soldiers voice, Usato-kun and I immediately rushed over to Kazukis side . After giving a simple explanation to the soldier, Usato-kun started applying treatment to Kazukis abdomen . Usato-kun and I directed a smile towards Kazuki-kun .

Are you alright, Kazuki!?

Hahaha, looks like youve really done it . Thank you . You really saved me .

Im sorry, if I didnt form such a reckless plan like that, you wouldnt have gotten hurt

Please dont apologize There wasnt anything we could do against that Black Knight .

Kazuki-kun got up and sheathed his sword in his scabbard . He seemed to be firing himself up as he said,

Alright! Senpai, the war isnt over yet . Ill assist you in the frontlines, lets go!

Was it fine for him to move? Of course, I wasnt insensitive enough to ask that . The wound and pain on my chest had completely disappeared . Once again, I couldnt help but feel that Usato-kun really saved us .

. He helped me recover when I was damaged . Hmm .

(TL: Can also be read as deflowered)

Usato-kun, you have to take responsibility for this

What kind of idiotic things are you talking about?

While Usato-kun referred to me as an idiot, I looked around to confirm our current situation .

It was hard to tell but the Kingdoms troops were pushing the other side back . If this continued, it would end in our victory Well, theres no way it would be that easy .

Before the Maou army does something, we should prepare ourselves . Kazuki-kun, can do you it?

I can!

As for me, Ill return to the frontlines as soon as I find something else to bind this person .

Then I guess well temporarily go separate ways from here, Usato-kun .

He was fighting a different fight than us in a sense . He couldnt be bound to this person forever .

After Usato-kun explained the situation to a soldier and received bindings, he started to bind the awfully obedient Black Knight .

. This is a little, no, this is very immoral .

Im telling you, I dont have that kind of preference .

After he finished tying the Black Knight, he could finally retrieve his coat . The uniform seemed to be of great importance as he checked to see if it was damaged . After doing so, he put his arm through the sleeve and wore the coat .

Fuuh, I should manage with this .

Usato-dono, what should we do with this thing?

I cant decide by my own discretion Just leave it to Sigris to decide . I have to get back to the frontlines, just make sure that they dont escape . Okay?

Yes, I understand!

The soldier replied with vigor and Usato-kun who seemed to be troubled could only nod . Afterwards, he had a serious look on his face as he looked at me and Kazuki .

Senpai, Kazuki . If possible, dont get injured like earlier . Even my healing magic cant heal a corpse .

I know . If possible I wont try to do the impossible . Usato-kun, you take care too .

I wonder if my words allowed Usato-kun to feel relieved since he turned around and started sprinting towards the frontlines . Kazuki-kun and I intended to get everything in order before heading out .

Do your best, Usato-kun .

Seeing his running figure and whispering those words, I turned to face the soldiers

Wait a moment .

Gweh!?

In that instant, a female with beautiful green hair appeared and caught Usato-kun by the collar, forcefully stopping him .
