Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~ Chapter 5

Shiru: The lifesaving squad is now known as the Rescue Squad

I now have two editors/proofreaders; please give a warm welco to Renexile and Fateburn! They have been helping and teaching the inexperienced Shiru a lot of things, my improvent is thanks to them . Also thanks to the other people who gave input with their suggestions .

Does this an faster translations? Not necessarily, we have different ti zones (12-14 hours apart) and we can only do as much as real life permits us to do .

Does this an higher-quality translations? Yes! We will be using footnotes from now on too; they have been implented in the previous chapters . The abomination known as Chapter 1 has also been cleansed . Readers can read on ahead but I do recomnd giving Chapter 1 a look again .

I am reading along with everyone as I am translating, I hope you all enjoy this chapter .

Three weeks have passed since Kazuki-kun, Usato-kun, and I have been summoned to this world . As the result of all the training these past three weeks, Ive gotten quite used to fighting . However, I still dont have any actual experience fighting against monsters yet .

Morning training had just ended, and we were eating lunch under the shade .

Kazuki-kun, youve already beco quite strong .

Hahaha, Im no match for senpai .

In the past 2 weeks, Kazuki has shown an abnormal amount of growth .

Naturally, I did too . Ive beco strong enough to match the strongest knight in Lyngle Kingdom, Sigris, and the excellent magician, Welsey . I know the both of them were going easy on , but I can still rember the surprise on their faces when I bested them .

Though I still think that this is nowhere near enough .

The countrys ambition is insufficient . Just using a strong lightning attack is enough to earn a round of applause from the onlookers . Kazuki would turn red in embarrassnt whenever their cheers erupted . That wasnt the case for .

I wanted a much more unrestrained way of using magic .

As expected, Ill have to find a way by myself . . ?

Whats the matter, Suzune?

Oops, that wasnt good . I almost let my consideration for others slip . The blonde-haired girl with blue-eyes that called out to was King Lloyds daughter, Seria Bluegust Lyngle .

As to why soone like her is here, it goes all the way back to when Usato-kun was kidnapped by Rose . King Lloyd concluded was that it would be very difficult to bring Usato back, so it couldnt be helped .

He was assigned to Rose while Kazuki and I were assigned to train under Sigris, the Commander of the Kingdoms Corps . Of course, we also got to train under the renowned magician, Welsey .

During that ti, King Lloyd called for his daughter and introduced her to us as we were around the sa age . This was how we t and beca friends .

While eating lunch, Kazuki turned his gaze to the scenery outside the castle .

Fumu, showing such a weary appearance, are you worried about Usato-kun?

Usato, I wonder what hes doing right now .

Really, youre so easy to understand .

The last ti we saw Usato, he looked utterly exhausted .

Could it be that he still hasnt gotten accustod to living in this world? Or perhaps the Rescue Squads training is really just that severe

What kind of person is Usato-sama? Seria curiously asked .

Kazuki cut off before I could reply and answered while puffing his chest with pride .

Hes a friend who got summoned along with us to this world . We only got to know each other recently, though .

Judging from that delighted expression, looks like the rumors that Kazuki-kun didnt have any male friends was true .

T-Thats wrong! Even I have one or two friends that are guys

To Kazukis mutters of self-assurance, Seria chuckled .

Well, I actually know though . Considering what Ive seen of Kazuki-kun in school, Usato-kun is certainly an important friend to him despite having only known each other for a short while .

A friend, huh . And where is this gentleman?

I think hes at the Rescue Squads lodgings? If I recall

R-Rescue Squad!?

. . ? Isnt that right, senpai?

Yup .

Now that I think about it, I had so doubts regarding Usatos appearance the last ti we t .

In the world we were from, I played various sports . As part of my interest, I gathered as much knowledge as I could about human anatomy specifically, the muscle structures that Ive beco familiar with .

The last ti I saw Usato, I noticed that his legs had developed a lot compared to our first eting . In addition, the muscles on his upper body had been tempered . There was no way he could normally temper them so thoroughly in just one week .

While I thought it was amazing, I also had my concerns . Its bad for the body to go through rapid growth in such a short ti, if I took that into consideration

Im worried

Senpai?

No, its nothing . Seria, you seed astonished when we ntioned the Rescue Squad did sothing happen before?

The shock she expressed before was quite unusual .

No, err . . Well, theres been so rumors spreading lately in the castle about the Rescue Squad

What kind of rumors . . ?

Seria seed to be know sothing about the Rescue Squad . Anything important and related to Usato-kun should have definitely reached us but Perhaps sothing happened?

Seria briefly hesitated before lowering her voice into a mutter .

Just rember its only rumors I happened to overhear the palace guards talking about it . Apparently, the Rescue Squad recently had a newcor, and that hes been put through training that even their current mbers would give up on attempting .

Sohow Im really concerned now . Since todays training is about to finish, should we go check if Usato-kun is okay?

Yes, lets go take a look .

Ah, Ill co along as well .

We inford the two priestesses about our departure and made our way to the gates . Kazuki clenched his fists in determination and we nodded silently to each other, while heading off to the Rescue Squads lodgings .

And so, we were on our way to see Usato . Itd be dangerous if the countrys princess left just like that, so Sigris volunteered to accompany us as Serias bodyguard .

The Rescue Squads lodgings were in the midst of a forest clearing . It felt disconnected from the rest of the kingdom and there were no other people in sight .

Usato was here the last ti we visited the house, but now he was nowhere to be seen .

This is where Usato-sama lives?

It is but . . it looks like hes out .

Isnt it afternoon training right now?

Then lets go search for him . If we end up being a hindrance, we can just go back . Sigris-san, may I ask you to lead the way?

I understand . Please follow .

As we only wanted to take a look at the situation, it wouldnt be a particularly long visit .

Following Sigris lead, we walked through the overgrown forest to the Rescue Squads training grounds . Seria admired the scenery around her with gleaming eyes . She rarely got venture out of the castle so all of this was very exciting for her .

Fua, its amazing Kazuki-sama!

I agree .

Seria-sama, please do not stray too far away from

Sigris is too overprotective!

Shes is the princess of this country, after all . I guess its understandable for Sigris to be overprotective of her .

To Sigris troubled expression, Kazuki offered his sympathies .

Im sorry, Sigris-san

No, dont mind . I have so business with Rose as well . The training ground is just ahead, thats most likely where Usato-sama is .

Is that so!

I gazed towards the direction Sigris pointed at .

The last ti we t was 2 weeks ago, I wondered how youve grown since that ti . . With that in mind, we drew closer and saw another clearing .

A wide open space, 30 ters in diater, it was a training ground among the trees that comfortably accommodated the Rescue Squad and their few mbers .

In place like this, Usato-kun was at the center doing push-ups Kazuki, who was about to cheerfully call out to him, stopped in his tracks .

I did the sa .

Whats the matter? Whats going on in front

As Seria tried to take a peek from behind us, the both of us were at a loss for words .

The view before us, it was

Nu, gugugu!

Oi, you slowed down . Dont tell a little insect like you is giving up just from slightly increasing the weight .

No one said I was giving in!

Ill beat you up if you keep talking, hey .

Usato-kun was doing push-ups with a desperate look on his face . It wouldnt be so strange if it was just that . The problem was that a large stone block was placed on his back as well .

It looked like it weighed about 50 kg? Sothing like that was placed on Usato-kuns back .

Adding on to that, the Rescue Squads Leader; Rose, was haughtily sitting on that stone block with her legs crossed .

Tsk .

What was that just now?! I thought I heard the sound of soone clicking their tongue!!

I thought I just heard the gentle Usato-kun click his tongue . Is he really Usato-kun? Perhaps hes been possessed by an evil spirit?

I was just really surprised how exceedingly light Rose-san is, you know so much that I unintentionally smacked my lips .

Hohoo, youve just said a really sweet thing, didnt ya? In that case, it wont be a problem if I increased the weight so more, right?!

Rose deftly descended onto the ground and threw another block of stone onto Usato-kuns back .

Even while making gigigi chewing noises, Usato continued dauntlessly doing push-ups and a twisted smile rose to his face as he stared daggers towards Rose .

This is a fairly good feeling, aint it? Hes co to my liking, ya . If its like this, soon I can throw him into that place Nn? Who are you?

Ever since Kazuki arrived, hes been understandably lost in a daze at the sight before him . After all, the gentle Usato-kun we knew was giving viciously glaring at soone else while participating in so kind of insane exercise . I cant bla him for trying to escape from reality .

Yet the Leader of the Knights, Sigris, strode furiously towards Rose .

Yooo, Sigris . Taking the princess and the heroes out for a walk? Whats up?

You! What do you think youre doing?!

Ahh?

Im asking you what youre doing! This kind of training, all youre doing is destroying this young mans future!! Sigris raised his voice and grabbed Rose by her collar .

Sigris outburst of anger was understandable; Roses treatnt towards Usato simply couldnt be called training . Rather it looked like punishnt .

Sigris, still having seized Roses collar, raised her up . He was using only his grip strength but you could hear the leather of his gauntlet squeaking under the pressure .

Get your hands off , Rose replied, expressionless . I dont dislike your chivalry but dont push that on . I have my own way of doing things . Moreover, I plan to make this guy my right-hand man, you know? Itd be a problem for if he couldnt handle sothing as easy as this .

Right-hand . . you say?

Thats right, Ive finally dug up and found soone like him . Its good that he hates to lose, never yields, and in addition, hes able to keep up with my training .

I couldnt help but take a step backwards when I looked at Rose . Inside of her eyes, I saw a strong, unbending will . If there was anything she wanted to accomplish, she would stop at nothing to do so .

Hesitating from that kind of willpower, Rose shook Sigris off .

You deviant! The King wished to return your squad to how it was before, but it looks like theres no way thats happening with you .

Kahaha! My right eye cant open, so either way its impossible .

Rose declared as she pointed at the right side of her face .

Stop spouting nonsense!

Is she refusing to return to the army because of that scar over her eye?

Fuun . . Sigris grunted angrily and returned to us . With a concerned look, he approached Seria .

I need to cool down for a bit . Princess-sama, please dont leave Kazuki-samas side .

Y-yes .

Once I calm down, I will return imdiately .

He realized himself that if he stayed here any longer, it would only develop into a fight with Rose . With that in mind, Sigris disappeared into the forest .

Well, looks like Sigris is gone . The heroes and the princess had business with this, right?

Im not a thing, you know . Oi, whats this about making your right-hand? To celebrate this event, how about I give Rose a punch with my right arm as a present, yeah? Since you want a right-hand, please gladly accept it with your face!!

Before that, how about I give you a present instead? . . Well, thats what I want to say but Ill head back first .

Usato-kun was ready to throw a punch but Rose changed her mind after seeing us and started making her way towards the lodging house .

As Roses figure disappeared in the distance, we approached Usato-kun who had just put down his weights and was stretching .

Are you okay, Usato-kun?

Im okay but . . this person is?

Usato tilted his head towards Seria who arrived with Kazuki-kun .

My na is Seria Bluegust Lyngle . But you can just address as Seria, Usato-sama .

S-sama in addition its Lloyd-samas?

Yes . Im his daughter .

Usato-kun panicked upon hearing it was the Kings daughter . He probably wasnt used to being addressed like this by a girl he just t; not to ntion, the Princess of the Lyngle Kingdom herself .

Kazuki-kun was also startled when they first t .

Please relax, just address normally .

Usato hesitated, but reluctantly nodded .

That reminds , whats the training like for you both? Well, I can vaguely tell that you guys have grown stronger

Eh, why did it beco silent?

I cant say it .

The fact that our training was nowhere as harsh as Usatos No, rather, it was very easy?

In reality, the type of training we were doing was deliberately planned with the safety of our bodies in mind . Furthermore, our training was designed to efficiently but steadily increase our combat ability which is very different from Usatos training . His type of training was incredibly dangerous; it was ant for surpassing the limits of the human body . Its sothing only viable for a healing magician who could continuously heal himself .

According to the rumors, it wouldve been 3 weeks since the spread of a certain eccentric training . Hes probably been doing this non-stop this whole ti .

It doesnt look like his physique has changed that much . Still, he had a trendous amount of developnt before so this didnt make sense I think I was already starting to see through sothing incredible .

Being curious and giving into my temptation, I grabbed the ends of his T-shirt .

Usato-kun, pardon my impoliteness .

Eh? Whats the matter Inukami-senpai tee, oou!?

I rolled up Usatos shirt in one motion .

At this sight, Serias face grew red .

I see now .

Hes been intentionally damaging his muscles with excessive exercise and then forcibly restoring them with healing magic . The results from these actions are muscle fibers high in density, a greater amount of endurance, and the ability to draw out more power than a normal person .

I was mistaken before . Usato-kun You have amazing muscles!

Sohow, Inukami-senpai, arent you kind of too excited?

No no, to think youve done this much in this short amount of ti Im impressed .

No, how do I say it it has really been bothering for a while now .

What What has happened to Suzune-sama . . ?

Sorry Seria, even I dont know . Occasionally, senpai becos like this .

Maybe he was getting irritated, but Usato forcefully took my arms off from himself . Its a little regrettable but for now I should back down . I dont want him to start hating .

Waa . Still, it seems like everyone is lively, Im glad .

Usato, you seem . . energetic .

Hahaha, recently thats been my only redeeming trait .

Usato, who had a slightly tired look, laughed light-heartedly .

His training looks to be at least manageable but I wonder if hes adapted to life in this world yet .

Seeing that we didnt need to worry, we decided to walk elsewhere while keeping an eye out for Sigris .

Well, it looks like we were just needlessly worried . We should be returning soon .

Worried? Well its fine . Next ti, Ill be the one visiting you guys, I want to take a look at the training in the castle too .

P-Please do

As Usato gazed at the castle in the distance, Seria whispered in a low voice, What a person as she shivered .

She probably didnt want to show him the castles training as he still thought the knights and Rescue Squads training were on similar levels . Its likely that the knights morale would plumt as well .

We finished our conversation and decided to look for Sigris but a figure erged from the forest and walked towards us . It was a giant man carrying sothing resembling a lunch box in one hand .

That guy is

Is it soone you know, Usato?

Oooi! The kind and great has co to deliver your bentou to you!

I saw a vein forming on Usatos forehead from the mans cheerful greeting .

Although we only recently started to get to know each other, I understood Usato was a gentle person . Now that gentle person had an expression similar to an oni1 . For a mont, I thought I was in a bad dream .

However, reality was heartless .

Usato-kun stomped towards the tall man and started shouting abusive remarks at him .

You have the nerve to bring my bentou?! You damn blockhead!! Why dont you use those that small brain of yours and think about what happened a week ago, ya bastard!!

Aan!! I dont understand what youre talking about! Why dont you use words so that an idiot like can understand, you idiot!!

If I make my words any simpler, itd beco baby talk . Ahh I see, Tong doesnt have a brain and your head is actually stuffed with cotton!

Why you!

Tong-kuns head is packed full of cotton

Making fun of Co here!!

Bring it on!!

I-Is that really Usato? Eh, ah, huh? Right now, Usato is laughing, hes talking

Hang in there Kazuki-sama! W-What should we do Suzune-sama!

Hell can even change a persons heart its cruel .

Is this really the ti to be deep in thought?! Sigris is fine too, please hurry and bring Kazuki-sama back to the castle!

As I lent a shoulder to Kazuki-kun who had sowhat vacant eyes, I glanced behind .

He was having a brawl with the frightening looking man, the gentle appearance just before seed like an illusion . It was a sudden change but sohow this looked very natural as well .

I see, it looks like youve found the place where you belong

In an unknown world, he was able to find a place where he belonged before anyone else . Seeing him like this, I couldnt help but be a little envious .
