Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~ Chapter 48.2

Hmm?

Whats the matter?

I was sitting around the campfire and absentmindedly chatting with Ark-san when he suddenly looked in the direction behind . Having my doubts, I turned around to look . Ark-san seed to have his attention focused on the carriage behind .

It seems like theres one more person who couldnt fall asleep as well .

The door was opened even though I closed it when I had gotten out of the carriage . I saw a figure of a girl through that opening . When our eyes t, she got out and started walking towards .

You cant sleep?

You cant sleep either, Usato?

After Amako said so, she sat down and stared at the flas just like a mont ago .

However, why was she up so late? Leaving aside, Amako should have been sound asleep beside Senpai .

Inukami kept on hugging so I woke up .

Hahaha, thats Looks like Amako-dono t with a lot of trouble .

Really, that Senpai is . .

Seeing as we were reprimanding Senpai, Amakos sour expression turned to a smiling one .

Afterwards, Ill talk with Senpai before letting Amako sleep again .

What were the two of you talking about?

Just talking about what would happen tomorrow .

As expected, I couldnt just say we were discussing about how non-humans were being discriminated in Luquis . Since that was the case, I just gave a rough explanation while omitting that part .

Usato, do you rember the things I ntioned to you before during my stay at Luquis?

Hm? I rember . If I recall correctly There was a beast kin who helped you out .

Is that so?

Ark-san was sowhat surprised and asked Amako to confirm it . Amako replied by nodding her head .

Im not sure whether theyre still here but . . Usato, could we visit them once youre finished with your business?

Im going too?

Yeah .

Im going as well huh What should I do if theyre soone scary? No, I really dont think anyone could match Rose but . . it didnt change the fact that it was bad for my heart if I t soone so intimidating .

Luquis wasnt a safe place for non-humans and they were living here . Maybe they also had so kind of special magic like Amako? At any rate, I wont get anywhere without receiving permission first .

Is it alright for us to go, Ark-san?

I think it should be fine? After delivering the letters, its not like theyll make a decision imdiately . Well be staying here for a bit and that should give you plenty of ti to do what you want . It might even take longer than expected which may delay you from sending your own letters

I dont mind at all .

If thats the case, there shouldnt be any problems .

Amako was hugging her knees in delight, probably because she might see an old friend again soon . Seeing her appearance, it got to rember that she had been separated from her own kind for a long ti . It was probably hell for her until she t Salra-san .

When I was around Amakos age before, I was just a whining brat that cried because I couldnt go on a trip .

I couldnt help but give a bitter smile when I compared my childhood to Amakos .

Im starting to feel a little sleepy

I felt that after my exchange with Ark-san, I started to feel tired . I initially thought I would go for an all-nighter but now I really did sleepy . Thinking of going to bed, I got up but Ark-san called out to as he remained seated .

Usato-dono, look next to you .

Next to ?

I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I didnt notice it until now but Amako was dozing off next to and my knee was supporting her head from falling . Before I realized it, her hands were also grabbing onto my sleeves . . Ark-san noticed this and probably pointed it out as he didnt want to wake her up .

As expected, shes the most reassured by your side .

Is that so? Well, I guess I can just sleep here . How about you, Ark-san?

Ill be changing shifts to stand watch soon so Are you going to fall asleep while sitting like this?

Its okay, Im used to it .

During my ti in the forest, I had to sleep like this while on a tree in case any monsters attacked . In comparison to that, this was nothing much . For the ti being, I sat beside Amako and hung my uniform on my shoulders that I had folded up .

Then, Ill be counting on you tomorrow .

I should be the one saying so .

After exchanging words with Ark-san, I closed my eyes while thinking that it had been a while since I slept with soone beside . Perhaps it was because I wasnt self-aware of how tired I was but I surprisingly felt my consciousness gradually fading without much resistance

*

kun .

Soone was calling out my na .

I wonder who was calling ? Inside my own drowsiness, my eyes opened . Before I knew it, I was lying down . I was certain that I slept next to Amako while sitting upright beside the campfire yesterday . In addition, I felt sothing soft like a pillow wrapping around my head .

Hey, Usato-kun .

Nn .

While my head still wasnt fully awake, I saw a figure of a person . Actually, even though my head wasnt fully functioning . . I imdiately recognized who it was .

Haah What the Inukami-senpai huh .

W-wait a minute! Im letting your head rest on my lap, you could at least give a better reaction than this!

Seeing through the obvious ulterior motive of Senpai, I got off her lap and looked around . It was quite bright already, it looks like I overslept . It seed that everyone else that was inside the carriage aside from Amako who slept at the sa ti as had already gotten up . Seeing as I had already got up, I went to greet them .

Did you carry , Kazuki?

Nn? Yeah, but you dont really need to thank . It was a little heavy but it wasnt too much trouble .

Even though I ended up oversleeping, it really felt different to be able to entrust yourself to people you could trust and just fall asleep . There was an unspoken rule in the Rescue Squad where you couldnt oversleep so its been a while since Ive in an environnt this carefree and lax .

Leaving that aside Usato, please do sothing about Senpai .

Inukami-senpai?

While giving a strained laugh, Kazuki turned his head towards Senpai . Sure enough, Senpai had beco sulky because of and was patting the sleeping Amako on the head who was on the opposite side .

Really, so rude . A beautiful girl giving you a lap pillow and yet not being aroused at all .

I an, it was obvious to see your intentions . Also calling yourself a beautiful girl feels sowhat deplorable

Honestly speaking, she really was the beautiful girl type . In addition, if I was bluntly asked if I was happy about the lap pillow . . I would answer I was happy! in a loud voice . But I wasnt a fish that would bite onto the fish hook in front of with such obvious bait .

Anyways, I heard from Amako . Senpai was hugging her so she couldnt fall asleep . .

Eh . B-but thats because shes so cute so I cant help it!

Dont try and make excuses Well, dont sulk so much . Its not like I wasnt happy, you know? Probably .

It seed that my words cheered her up as she cleared her throat with an ahem and moved her hand away from Amako .

Good grief . Youre not honest at all, Usato-kun .

Usato is unexpectedly shy and likes to change his wording after all .

You two are just too honest . I say people like are normal .

In response, they just ended up telling Theres no way thats possible .

Grrr Are these two trying to say my common sense was abnormal?

Usato-sama being normal I cant help but think that this feels a little off .

Even Welsey-san

Welsey-san who had been scanning over the letter lifted her head and uttered so while giving a wry smile . If Amako was awake right now, she would definitely take this opportunity to side with everyone and say how abnormal I was . This ti it was my turn to beco sulky so I sat down and started to perform the magic training that Rose had previously ntioned .

As expected, Im not normal huh .

You know, doing this isnt all that difficult .

Welsey-san said so with her usual expression . Shes been saying this to on every occasion ever since we started this journey . From what I heard, it takes several months of morization before one usually learns a new magic spell . However, this wasnt considered to be that difficult . As long as soone knew the procedure, anyone could easily do it . The Welsey-san who had told that continued to speak

Thats why Ive been telling you . . even if its easy to do, its still dangerous . If you ss up, the magic power you unleashed will blow up and inflict damage on yourself . Really, thinking its okay to do this just because youre a healing magician This is sothing you should only try once youve gotten better at controlling your magic power

From there I kept on getting lectured as usual by Welsey-san and I stiffly smiled as I operated my magic power .

To get from my dim green light color to sothing that resembled Orga-sans dark green light, I repeated this process over many tis . But without seeing anything in front of , it was difficult to tell if I was making progress . However according to Welsey-san, I was making a considerable amount of progress .

I wonder if I could do that too

Senpai is a little irresponsible so it would be better to stop while youre still only thinking about doing it

Theres no problem if youre here right, Usato-kun?

No no . Even though I seed to be doing everything naturally, I was really having a lot of trouble . If Senpai were to attempt this and easily succeed, I dont think I could regain my confidence . Also, I was genuinely concerned that Senpai would cross a dangerous bridge and didnt want that . I didnt have that much reaction since I was used to it by now but when my magic discharges, it hurt quite a bit .

Senpai was more or less still a female high school student . I was doubtful if Senpai would be able to endure it .

You cant do that! Suzune-sama!!

Isnt it fine, Welsey-san? You think so too right, Kazuki?

Yeah Its not that Im not curious but Welsey-san has been telling you to stop, Usato . It might be better to not try .

Still, Kazuki really trusts to this extent Not that its a bad thing . It would have been nice to get along with each other sooner back in our forr world . Thinking back to the days where I thought of you as a normie (Riajuu)who should go and explode, I really do feel sorry .

Mmmmm, fine . I dont want to trouble Usato-kun too much after all .

You were already troubling quite a bit, not that I would say it out loud . Seeing as Senpai had finally settled down, I lightly sighed .

That reminds , how long was I sleeping for? I heard we would reach Luquis today but

Oh yeah, how much longer?

You an until we reach Luquis? Yeah, looking at our current location Once we go over that hill in the distance, we should arrive .

If that was the case, I estimate itll be around one hour or so? I dont know if this world had sothing like a clock to tell the ti though .

A place with students, its relation with non-humans, and soone who was part of the beast kin that helped out Amako Although these all got curious, what really piqued my interested was without a doubt

Luquis healing magician .
