Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~ Chapter 52

Editor:HumanTrainingBot

Our house is located in a small and secluded part of Luquis .

I, the older sister, live here with my younger brother . We didnt need to worry about drawing the humans attention around here . Thats just the sort of place it is . We also have another person in our house . Of course, that person is also a beast kin .

In the beginning, I thought we would be accepted . . since there were a lot of different people here .

People from all over the continent gathered at Luquis, after all . It wouldnt be strange for a few of these people to be more open-minded towards beast kin . Holding onto that faint hope, we left the hidden village of our birth and arrived at Luquiss gates in order to study magic .

My family back at ho often told I had talent in magic and that I should go study it I also wanted to make so friends outside the village .

However, it didnt take very long to realize how much of an idiot I was for holding onto that faint hope .

Luquis prohibited the persecution of non-humans on the surface . Due to a public policy like that, I didnt think anything could go wrong but I was completely avoided and assaulted by a sense of isolation .

Distrust .

Contempt .

Fear .

It was an environnt that forbids one from forming friendships with others .

The heavy pressure of isolation .

This wasnt sowhere for a beast girl like to prove my own value as a magic user . I had no social relationships or influence here I was just .

Aah . Really, I thought that Luquis was where the elite gathered to further improve their skills But I do understand their thought process . To the humans, beast kin arent considered people .

There were humans who followed the majority and grouped with other humans . There were also humans who were apathetic towards us .

Rather than being friends with soone from a different race, it was natural to be with people from the sa race .

Dont get involved with the humans .

Theres no way wed get along .

Dont trust anyone .

My mind grew weaker due to their disassociation .

Without getting involved with anyone, I just studied magic . If I just set my own expectation low, I didnt need to hope for anything .

Aah, doing it this way makes it a lot easier Im glad

Since when did I start to think like this?

I reached the point where I would hide my ears when walking in the corridors and focused all my attention on how I could improve my own magic .

Theres no aning in coming here if I dont improve .

I didnt co here for the sake of getting along with others .

I continued this line of thought and persuaded myself that I still had my younger brother . It was enough . I wasnt lonely .

I told myself this over, and over, and over It was around this ti that I t another beast girl in Luquis .

Unlike us, she wasnt from a village . She was a strange girl from the country who had a strong hatred for humans and the ability to see the future . Her na was Amako . In order to save her mother, she traveled far, far away from the country to search for a healing magic user .

Its a magic exclusive to humans . I thought it was impossible to get the humans to cooperate with her plan though . In reality, it seed that healing users here faced rejection too .

Kiriha, I wont give up .

But that girl didnt give up . She had no choice but to keep moving forward despite the danger . She wanted to save her mother .

Despite the fact that it was probably not easy for her to co this far And that it was probably dangerous for her everywhere I tried to stop her from going but I wasnt able to .

I wonder if I could be like Amako and put that much effort into sothing .

Would I be able to trust humans?

Humans who got along with beast kin . They probably didnt exist, right?

I should have known the answer to that long ago but I couldnt say it .

Im sure I was still hoping for sothing .

I was still thinking

One day A human who could get along with beast kin would arrive

*

. Morning, huh

I awoke to the sound of a large bell chiming outside . The bell would usually ring around this ti .

A nostalgic dream I felt like I had one . I dont rember what dream I just had but I knew it was an unpleasant one .

I got up from my bed and started combing my tail .

Once I was satisfied with grooming my tail, I got off of my bed . I swiftly changed my clothes and exited my room to prepare breakfast .

I would normally just make sothing simple but Things were slightly different today .

Huh? Whats wrong Satsuki? Youre up so early today .

Satsuki was a beast girl who had co along with and Kyou from the sa hidden village one year ago . She was currently peeking out of the house from behind the door I broke yesterday .

When Satsuki noticed , she put her index finger on her lips and silently whispered a Shh .

. What was going on? Just what was she looking at? Should I take a peek too?

Overflowing with curiosity, I walked behind Satsuki and peeked out as well .

Amako, youre way too light! This cant be called training at all!!

. . But thats not my fault, Usato .

.

What was this human doing . . ? He was up so early doing push-ups Amako was also innocently riding on his back .

Its amazing, Kiriha . Since that person went out, hes been doing that all this ti . And like you know, its like hes not tired at all . I really dont know whats going on! I cant believe hes human!

Since he woke up, hes been doing that all this ti? If he hasnt been taking any breaks, then I really cant believe hes a normal human .

Although directly catching my punchcapable of splitting a boulderwasnt normal in the first place .

Was this the type of training he did to achieve that much power? But I really couldnt imagine how this type of training could do that .

But rather than that .

Satsuki Youve been watching Usato all this ti?

Yeah!

. Right now, the problem was Satsuki who was smiling brightly and looking at this scene with great interest .

This girl was usually quiet but once sothing catches her interest, its like her personality changes and she starts jotting things down in her notebook . In her own words, she apparently calls it The Mysterious Things and Happenings Notebook .

In other words, Satsuki considers Usato to be a deep and mysterious existence .

Usually, shes a really really, really good and obedient girl . But since things have co to this I could only leave her alone and let her do what she wants . She was silent the whole ti when Usato and Amako ca here yesterday but she probably didnt have a chance to talk . She was definitely overwheld with interest

Well, keep it at a moderate level, okay?

I knowww .

Leaving Satsuki, who remained at the front entrance, I headed towards the kitchen .

I should prepare breakfast first . Usually I would finish this up real quick but Usato and Amako were here today . Ill make a proper breakfast . As I was getting the ingredients from all over the kitchen, I rembered Usatos words from yesterdays dinner .

. . Delicious, huh .

I wasnt flustered over his praise by calling my cooking delicious given his personality but it was true that I was surprised .

At that ti, when Kyou asked if I trusted Usato, I was honestly still not completely sure if I could . That was why I sat as close to Usato as I could in case anything happened and . . got him to try cooking made by a beast kin . After all, humans would normally never try anything cooked by us nor would they call it delicious .

Im really just all talk

Even though his hand was healed with healing magic, I did inflict a cruel injury onto Usato by cutting up his hand . He forgave for that but sowhere in my heart I still didnt trust him . I couldnt help but mock myself .

Right, breakfast .

Satsukis classes were quite early so I should hurry . I should also wake Kyou up soon too, since he had to walk Satsuki to school .

If I continued making breakfast at such a leisure pace, I wouldnt have ti to make breakfast for those two . That wont do . Today, I decided to go all out and make a proper breakfast . I had to do it right!

*

Shiru:Im going to be releasing full chapters again instead of two parts starting next week . I guess you can thank my new work schedule .

After successfully preparing breakfast, I went to wake up Kyou and told Satsuki that breakfast was ready . Usato joined breakfast a bit later since he was exercising . Co to think of it, its been a while since breakfast was this lively

Hey, you! If you do anything weird to Nee-chan, I wont forgive you!

After finishing with breakfast, Kyou went to get ready for school . However, he didnt forget to give a warning to Usato who was currently drinking so water .

I bitterly smiled at the sight of my overprotective little brother . But upon seeing Usatos troubled expression, I decided to help him out .

Kyou, isnt it almost ti to go? If you dont hurry and take Satsuki to school, youll both be late .

Eh!? Its already this late!? Satsuki! Lets hurry! We gotta go!! Wait, youre writing in that notebook again!

. Just a little more a little more

Satsuki was sluggishly trying to put on her robe as she continued to write in her notebook . She was still writing about Usato? Kyou was panicking due to my reminder He grabbed Satsuki by her collar and ran out of the house .

Before long, the two of them disappeared into town . Usato looked at the direction where Kyou and Satsuki ran off to before turning to and asking a question,

Kiriha, is Kyou and Satsuki studying magic in the sa place? They dont look like the sa age though .

Ah . .

That was sothing you would naturally question .

Kyou is the sa age as , 17 years old . Satsuki is 12 so our ages arent close at all . Usato was probably confused since the both of them had left already while I was still here .

Kyou is just walking Satsuki to school . Satsuki is still quite young after all Kyou and I are in the sa class but I usually have a lot of chores to do at ho before heading out .

Kyou walking Satsuki to school was also just a precaution Itd be troubleso if Satsuki were to be bullied by others .

Our classes were much later than Satsukis so it was convenient for us .

That ans youll be heading to school sooner or later, right?

Yeah, thats right What are you and Amako going to do? Do you want to both wait here until then?

No, well be heading towards the stable near the entrance gate . We ca here together with other people so we need to et up again . Amako, youre fine with that, right?

Yeah .

Other people that they ca with Yesterday, Usato went to inform a group of people that he would be staying here . I wonder if he was referring to the sa group . I guess I didnt have to worry about them staying inside the house with nothing to do .

Still, Amako and Usato couldnt just loiter around the streets forever waiting for to return I should try to co back earlier than usual .

As I was washing the dishes and thinking of what to make for todays dinner . . Usato spoke to as he was putting on his white uniform,

Oh right . Thanks for lending a change of clothes . Just before breakfast, I washed them and hung them up to dry I hope thats okay .

You dont have to worry so much about it . I just lent you so of Kyous clothes, its not much to thank for .

As I said so, I glanced outside to see clothes that were neatly hung up .

He was unexpectedly tidy It was such a big difference from yesterday where he showed such a scary face . His face yesterday was just too dreadful While calling him an ogre mightve been too much, I dont really know what else could have made a face like that . I didnt think it was possible before but now I knew that it was certainly possible to overpower soone just by looking at them

Your face looks pale, are you alright?

A-aah I-Im okay Yeah Im okay .

Without realizing it, my thoughts started to surface on my face . Amako ended up being worried about as a result .

Didnt I already hear a lot from Amako about Usato already just yesterday?

Hes not a bad person and Lyngle Kingdom where Amako lived for 2 years is a place better than I could ever imagine .

Those were Amakos words .

I poured so cold water over my shivering hand, trying to regain my composure . After finally calming down, Usato who was in the living room had co to the kitchen .

We should get going soon .

Were heading out now, Kiriha .

Usato and Amako spoke in turn . There was no sense of discomfort from seeing these two together . Seeing a human and a beast girl together like this It was probably sothing I imagined countless tis before . However, witnessing such a scene in reality made feel I wasnt too sure how to describe it but I felt like my heart was being filled with a weird sensation .

Hahaha, have a safe trip .

Despite my efforts, my voice sounded very hollow . I could see the two of them looking slightly worried . It was hard to tell with Usato but I saw him tilting his head to the side in wonder for just a mont . As for Amako, it definitely looked like she was suspecting of sothing . Even without her foresight, she was a sharp and clever girl .

I should get ready and head out soon too

I was able to et the friend I wanted to see .

Even so, my heart was strangely still not liberated .

*

A ssage from Senpai?

Guah?

From Kirihas place, we headed straight to the stable where Bluerin and the other knights were . I was giving breakfast to Bluerin who was still half asleep It was then that a knight ca to relay a ssage to .

Apparently Inukami-senpai and the others ca here yesterday . Since I wasnt here they asked one of the knights to pass a ssage to .

Yes, the heroes wanted Usato-dono to go to where they are staying .

In other words The inn theyre staying at .

I was planning to go but now Im scared since Senpai was asking to go .

That person, she really was like a child I hope she doesnt get upset over anything weird again .

I guess I should hurry Knowing Senpai, shell co looking for herself if I delayed any longer . She knew I would co here in the morning, after all .

We didnt see each other yesterday after I left the inn Even though it was supposed to be where I would be staying, I left without explaining much . I supposed I needed to tell them about my situation in detail .

Amako, could I count on you to look after Bluerin today?

Mm, no problem . I dont mind looking after this little guy

She seed to be in good spirits as she crouched down and lightly rubbed one of the fruits against Bluerins nose .

Now Amako wouldnt be too bored and have sothing to do . I could also trust the knights standing guard here to protect Amako in case sothing were to happen .

I said farewell to the Amako and the knights for the ti being and started to lightly jog .

I was heading towards the inn in front of the school . At my current pace, I should be able to reach there in just a few minutes . I was able to get a sense of the general direction yesterday and I was getting used to maneuvering through the crowd of people .

But . Upon realizing that this wasnt Lyngle Kingdom, I brought my jog to a halt . It wasnt really normal for soone to run through a crowd of people like this Wait, how would I bring Bluerin around What am I thinking? That wasnt normal at all The people here would definitely be shocked . I should try and avoid the crowds .

Maybe Ill have to ask for Gladis-sans help

Ive heard that there were familiars . Maybe I could get Bluerin approved as my familiar . Im too sure if Bluerin could be contracted as a familiar though . Were an unusual case but its worth testing . Itd be nice if Bluerin and I could both go on runs together Hmm?

. This is

I was absentmindedly jogging and found myself in the sa alley as yesterday . This was where I saw those groups of students Normally, I would just continue jogging without paying any attention but sothing on the other side worried a little .

There seed to be a lot of onlookers on the other side Just what were they looking at?

Deciding to take a detour, my curiosity drove forward to the other side of the alley way .

Again, its those guys Theyre really doing sothing cruel .

Itd be better to just leave it alone

It wouldnt be funny if we got involved

I heard whispers throughout the crowd and they didnt sound positive .

I quickened my pace a little to reach what they were looking at Upon reaching there, I was astonished .

. . !

In the center of this group of people, the boy covered in soot that I saw yesterday was in tatters and on the ground .

I imdiately approached the boy and applied healing magic on him while lifting him up . As I did so, one of the onlookers nearby ca up to and spoke in reassurance,

I dont know where you ca from but that person is fine, you dont need to use recovery magic .

No matter how I look at it, hes injured . Just how is he fine

Thats a user of healing magic . Look, even though hes tattered there are no wounds on him at all, right?

Eh!?

After the onlooker who seed to be a student as well pointed that out, I took another look at the soot covered boy .

It looked like he was hurt all over . . No, he might look injured but there were no wounds on him at all .

Was this child really a user of healing magic? This was the boy who was glaring at yesterday, right? I didnt understand, what led to this situation?

You said this boy is a user of healing magic just now . What happened here?

Did you only co here recently? . Well, theres no helping it if you dont know . A troubleso group of people have their eyes on this guy Each and every ti, they find him and use him as a magic dummy target . He has to use his healing magic every ti of course .

A troubleso group of people? What the . Healing magic outside of training wasnt sothing to be used like so kind of sand bag . Thats not the kind of magic it is .

I really didnt think I would get to et the healing magic user I was interested in Luquis so soon . And to think he was being tornted to this extent No, it was probably worse .

This looks like a complicated matter For now, I should wake him up .

I lightly shook him on the shoulders to wake him up .

I also wanted to see if he was really okay and could regain consciousness . Even though he wasnt injured and I wasnt really involved in this, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth if I left him here without seeing him wake up .

. . Uu .

Oh .

After 10 seconds or so, I heard a faint groan and I could see him slowly opening his eyes .

He unexpectedly regained consciousness faster than I thought Maybe I was worrying too much?

Looks like youre awake, how do you feel

. . ! Let go of !!

Whoa!

The mont he ca to his senses and saw , he brushed my hand off from his shoulder . I was slightly surprised at the sudden rejection . The youth in front of , however, was unconcerned about and looked at the sky frantically .

The ti Kuh .

Ah, hey wait

It was like the boy didnt hear as he ran off into the main street .

He seed to be in a hurry, it definitely didnt seem normal Did he have sothing important to do? But I didnt think I would be brushed off like that He might have just that much distrust towards others . At least it seed so .

Looking at his current circumstances, I could certainly see why Amako said even holding a conversation with him would be difficult two years ago .

. Well, then . What to do?

I finally got to et a healing magic user outside of Lyngle Kingdom but I feel a little irritated . I wasnt a human who could pretend that they didnt see anything but I also wasnt soone who would let my emotions get the better of .

I couldnt do anything at the mont . Actually, I didnt have any power right now . In a place like this, as a person who possesses healing magic, I definitely wasnt in a position to say anything .

For now, I should et up with Senpai and everyone else .

I should consult with Senpai and Kazuki first .

I didnt really know what to do so itd be better to ask those two for so advice .

In that case, I should quickly head towards them

Hey, Usato-kun!

Usato!

Two voices called my na from behind . Turning around, I could distinctly see a handso guy and a beautiful girl from the crowd of people on the main street .

It was Kazuki and Senpai .

. Looks like I dont need to head over to the inn anymore .

Seeing Kazuki vigorously waving his hand towards , I couldnt help but smile from the bottom of my heart . I started walking towards the two of them .

Just as I had expected, Inukami-senpai was complaining about the fact that I had left the inn without saying much .

Of course, Kazuki and I were bitterly smiling throughout the whole process .

Seriously, Usato-kun! If you were going to stay at Amakos friends house, then you should have told ! I would have wanted to co along too!

Please dont ask for the impossible while heavily breathing like that . It was quite troubleso on my end too

If Senpai ca along and Kyou saw what kind of person she is I shudder at the very thought of it . I know Senpai isnt a bad person but I dont want to take her along until Ive built a certain level of trust with Kiriha .

Besides, you already have a place to stay at Senpai . Arent you guys staying at the inn?

Senpai said she was going to et Usato so I tagged along . But since we encountered you here, itll save us a bit of ti .

Hm? Is there sothing going on?

Could it be that the school already made a decision There was no way .

They said it would take quite a bit of ti before they decide

For so reason, Senpai had a proud look on her face and seed excited as she drew closer to . Was it because she guessed my thoughts or sothing?

Yesterday, Principal Gladis invited us to observe the school and attend so of the classes, right? Thats why, you should co too, Usato-kun .

Observing you say

Oh yeah, that was ntioned when we handed over the letter .

I see, Senpai was really going to take advantage of Principal Gladis sincerity and accept the offer . This kind of treatnt was almost too good, it made a little uneasy . Was I really this timid?

Im also curious, Ill go .

I knew you would reply like that, Usato-kun . Then, lets hurry and go now .

Inukami-senpai grabbed a hold of my hand and Kazukis . She then started to quickly walk towards the direction of the school . Just how much were you looking forward to this? As expected of the Senpai that loves fantasy more than anything else .

As long as Senpai is having fun, then I guess its fine .

But youre having fun yourself too . Right, Usato?

. I guess its impossible to hide these things from you, Kazuki

Kazuki nodded and smiled .

I looked at Senpai who was walking in front Yeah, it looks like shes having a lot of fun . I guess it was natural We were in a different world and we would be able to see a real magic school with different magic users . It was the romance of all hardcore fantasy fans . . most would roll over many tis in excitent just at the thought of it .

The problem I wanted to discuss, Ill leave it for another ti . We were summoned into this world As fellow friends from the sa world, it wasnt too late for us to have so fun .
