Shiru:Part 2 tomorrow .

Sorry! It was my misunderstanding!

The misunderstanding with the girl called Kiriha had finally been cleared up . That was great and all but the problem came afterwards Once Kiriha learned that I might be able to save Amakos mother, she started to blame herself even more .

I had to move away from her because of how long she was blaming herself .

Kiriha was kneeling down on the ground before me at the moment but that didnt make me any less uncomfortable . I was a little surprised people in this world also bowed down to someone to apologize .

Its okay, Usato doesnt mind . Hes a little awkward but hes a nice person .

But I did a lot of violent things to him

Leaving the awkward part aside, its just like Amako said, I dont mind . You have your own circumstances too . And look, Im uninjured .

I squatted down and presented my hand to Kiriha who was still prostrated . It was the hand she injured this morning . The wounds were cured in a flash with magic and my hand didnt have a single scratch on it . Kiriha looked up and took my hand to carefully examine it . After a few moments, she spoke in astonishment,

Im convinced since I know you used healing magic but To think a genuine healer could do this much honestly amazes me There are no traces of your injury too .

Do you know someone else that can use healing magic?

I know one other person but they dont use it .

They dont use it The fact that they were able to study here without using it is really something . If possible, I wanted to ask more about this topic but Kiriha had finally raised her head . Ill find another chance to ask about it .

We didnt come here to receive an apology . It was to let Amako meet her friend . That was why I wasnt really bothered by the fact that I was attacked by Kiriha . It was trivial in comparison .

I said it before, but I really dont mind . I have a general understanding of how people view the beast kin here . Thats why I dont blame you for misunderstanding the situation and thinking that I was trying to capture you . It was also partly my fault because of how I acted so were even .

I really overdid it this time .

There was no need to receive that fist of hers; I should have tried to persuade her more with words . I guess I couldnt help but want to test how much I had grown from my training .

Im too immature and inexperienced . I still had a long way to go just like Rose had said .

Ha-haha What a strange person . I was shivering in fear because of what you might demand from me . As expected of the person Amako brought along with her, I should say . Really Such a strange human .

Theres no way my eyes would be mistaken about his character .

I agree with that Theres no way Amakos eyes could be wrong .

Kiriha laughed at my words and finally got off the ground while patting the dust off her tail .

Since Kiriha had just come out from her house, she was wearing some plain and simple clothes instead of the robe that she wore this morning . It was probably to conceal her ears and her tail .

Most of her tail was white in color with a light brown tip . It didnt resemble a fox or a dog tail I wonder what type of beast she is . She reminds me a bit of the Japanese youkai,Kamaitachi, so maybe shes part of the weasel family? Its possible . Either way, shes definitely someone I couldnt introduce to Inukami-senpai .

Usato, its not polite to keep looking at her like that .

Hahaha, sorry sorry .

Really, youre quite a strange human . When other humans see my appearance, they immediately look at me with scorn . You dont do that .

I wasnt someone from this world after all .

Besides, I was one of the people that found animal ears to be cute . I doubt many people from my world would hate them .

Lets leave those worthless thoughts of mine aside for now I just noticed that Kiriha had presented her hand in front of me . When I made eye contact with her, she blushed .

Amako seemed to be urging me from the side Were we just shaking hands?

While feeling a little embarrassed, I lightly took a hold of her hand .

. Umm . . Yeah, I didnt get to introduce myself yet . Im Kiriha . Im attending the senior classes here at school .

Im Usato, a healing magician of the Rescue Squad in Lyngle Kingdom . Well, I guess this is sort of like a handshake to make up with each other .

With this, it looks like Amako and Kiriha would finally have a chance to talk with each other .

Ah, this wont do . I was in the middle of making dinner . The people who headed out will be returning home soon If you would like, how about staying here to eat? I still want to apologize for what I did .

Or at least I thought so until Kiriha directed the conversation towards me again .

Dinner, huh

It was still a little early, plus they might have something prepared for me back at the inn It might be awkward to eat with the people who live here too . It seemed like a better idea to leave Amako alone here to talk with her friend .

Erm T Nn?

As I was about to reject Kirihas offer, Amako pulled on the sleeve of my uniform . She looked up and our eyes met . Although her face was expressionless, she made a humble request .

Usato, you should eat too?

. .

. . I guess I have no choice

Amako really knew how to handle me .

Salra-san left me with the responsibility of looking after her I probably didnt want Amako to feel lonely in any way .

Kiriha was already energetically talking about preparing my portion of the meal once she saw my exchange with Amako . Since it had come to this, I didnt really have much choice

You dont have to mind the people living here . Come now, while I cant call it a luxurious meal, I have some confidence in my skills so youll be in for a treat .

While opening the door that had been kicked open, Kiriha urged us to come inside . Amako and I walked towards the entrance and looked inside .

The inside was similar to the housing in the Rescue Squad . It wasnt that spacious but there was a table that could seat about 10 people . I could also see stairs that led to the second floor .

Its a nice place .

Is that sarcasm? Or do you really think so?

I live in a similar place in Lyngle Kingdom . I really think its a nice place . I feel really comfortable here .

I wonder how Felm was doing? Was she energetic? Was she eating regularly? She was probably skipping out on training and getting beaten up by Rose but she was still my Kouhai . I should at least wish for her well-being in my mind . Yeah, in my mind .

Are you spacing out? . Lets quickly go inside?

Nn Aah, sorry .

Looks like I was lost in thought for a moment there . Following Kiriha, we reached the table and chairs I saw earlier . I could see steam coming out of a room deeper in the house Was that the kitchen?

Kiriha looked back towards the door . It seemed to have been broken from her kick as it couldnt close properly .

Ahahaha I guess it was a little rash of me to kick the door open like that .

Kiriha, you never think things through first . I was close to being hit by you when you jumped out the door . Actually, I did get hit by the door when it opened .

Thats why I said Im sorry Im going to prepare dinner, you can sit anywhere . Ill be done in a moment .

Kiriha seemed to be using that as an excuse to escape Amakos reproachful eyes . I lightly chuckled at seeing her escape and sat down to take a breather just like I had been told .

Amako then sat down on the seat next to me . I wonder if she sat in that same chair the last time she lived here . Amako was deep in thought as she sat down, as if she were reminiscing .

Im glad you could visit your friend, Amako .

. Thank you for taking me here, Usato .

I still havent saved your mother yet so its still a bit early to thank me .

But . Thank you .

. Really, Im troubled . If you show me such a meek expression, I really dont know how to react . Despite the fact that I havent fulfilled your request yet

Although she played an indirect role in preventing the Kingdoms ruin and the death of my close friends, it didnt change the fact that she saved the lives of many people .

I didnt lose my friends and companions .

The one who should really give their thanks was me .

You saved my two friends and a lot of other peoples lives . Thats why I want to grant your wish As much as I can .

As much as you can huh You really are weird, Usato .

Like I said many times, Im normal and not weird .

I continued the conversation by talking about what happened with Kazuki and Inukami-senpai when I just woke up . Of course, I was referring to the Theres no way responses I got when I said I was normal . Amako listened while resting her chin on the table . She even gave an uncharacteristically bright smile .

You finally smiled but to think it would be because of this Looks like I really am weird .

It would be a problem if you become any weirder .

When youre the one saying it, I feel like that might just happen

I didnt know what kind of girl Amako was when we first met but Im just glad shes able to smile like this now .

. Well then, how was I supposed to surprise her? There wasnt much point of a conversation with Amako if she could just foresight what I was going to say next . I had to think several steps ahead of her

It was worth a try . Just as I was about to speak to Amako, she was looking back toward the entrance and the broken door . I turned around to look behind me and saw that that someone had arrived at the front door .

Eh? The door is Did something happen here?

Ahh, my stomach is growling . Nn? Why are you just standing there . ! Who are you!?

Two beast kin had arrived from the entrance . One girl and one boy . The girl seemed to be around Amakos age and had a tail that resembled a cats . The other beast kin was the boy who was just a bit shorter than Kiriha and had similar characteristics .

The girl was in a daze as she looked at me and Amako . The moment the boy saw me, he moved toward me, hostility emanating with every step . The patterns on his arms and legs resembled the ones I had seen on Kirihas .

However, I had learned from the previous experience and surrendered before he began his attack .

W-wait, Im someone that escorted Amako and came here! Im definitely not someone suspicious!

I was used to getting hurt by now, but its not like that made it any less painful .

If I could avoid getting injured, I would do so .

Haah, Amako you say? He ignored my words and continued his advance . If youre going to lie, you should make up a better one . .

Upon seeing Amako sitting behind me, his tail froze . Shocked, he pointed at Amako and shouted . Amako!! YouYoure alive!

The boy, who seemed to be familiar with Amako, stared with his eyes wide open, while the girl didnt show much of a reaction . The girl was peeking out from behind the boy . Im guessing she didnt know Amako?

Theyre both beast kin Of course . If they were both human, the boy in front of me wouldnt be reacting like this right now .

Nn, its been a while, Kyou . This person isnt an enemy .

Not an enemy But just from a glance, hes very suspicious!!

. I agree that hes someone who certainly looks suspicious but You shouldnt speak poorly of him .

Calling me suspicious Was that supposed to be a follow-up?

I just found the weakness of my healing magic It appears that healing magic had the hidden ability to inflict emotional scars on people . I was used to abusing it to heal but it looked like it had an effect in less serious situations like this too

I see Suspicious, huh . But Ive taken a liking to this uniform

Kuh .

The boy was at a loss as Amako stared him down . The boy in turn, glared at me as he had no outlet for his frustration . I didnt think I would earn his trust immediately like with Kiriha but it looked like this was going to be more difficult than I had anticipated .

Well, its not like I came here to put this guy in a good mood so it didnt really matter . The essential thing was whether or not Amako could stay here . The others staying at the inn would be able to relax if they knew that Amako was in a safe place . I was starting to hesitate a little because of the boy glaring at me but it would probably be a good idea to entrust Amako to this place for a while .

T-then, this guy is a healing magician, right? Are you really okay with this weak-looking guy!?

Just why arent you convinced? Youre really trying to find some weird faults with me .

This statement didnt really bother me so I just ignored it but it looked like Amako was going to say something but

You dont need to worry about that, Kyou . Hes different from the healing magicians we know .

Nee-chan!?

Kiriha had come and forced her way into the conversation . She had cooked dishes in both hands and looked proud of herself when she entered .

*

This is my little brother, Kyou . The girl next to him is Satsuki and shes one year younger than Kyou . I didnt think that they would return home so soon . It seems like things got a little complicated .

After the introductions, we sat down to eat and Kiriha set the dishes on the table .

It seemed like Kyou didnt like me . He kept his glaring eyes locked on me as he ate his bread .

How odd, Kiriha properly introduced me so why was he still looking at me like I was an enemy?

Hey hey, I get that youre worried about Amako but you shouldnt glare like that .

Nee-chan, you dont think hes suspicious?

I really did think so . But Amako trusts him and hes totally different from the humans weve met before . Hes giving his aid even though its to a beast kin, he doesnt look disgusted at seeing our ears and tails, and hes not asking for anything either . See? Hes weird, right?

Was my existence really that unusual? Amako put her hand on my shoulder as she looked at Kiriha who was delightfully talking to Kyou and Satsuki . Kyous expression seemed to say Someone like this

Actually just why was he so bent on clashing with me? Could it be that he likes Amako? I couldnt rule out that possibility .

Although he was being this cheeky, Ill just leave it be and say its just a cute side of him .

Looking to my side, I could see Amako nibbling on some bread . I lightly sighed and drank some soup with my spoon .

Nn? This soup, its delicious .

It seemed to be a potato soup with a mild taste and just the right amount of salt .

. Hahaha, its the first time a human has praised me . Yup, this part of you is weird too .

I honestly praised that it was delicious, but after expressing her surprise, she ended up calling me weird again .

What . Just what do I have to do to stop being labeled as weird? I didnt know the table manners for beast kin so I would have to ask Amako later .

After making that mental note, I continued to drink the soup, but Kyou noisily stood up from his chair .

I can see that this healing magician is different from the humans that I know . Ill acknowledge you for the time being . But you should prepare yourself if you do anything weird to Nee-chan, Satsuki, or Amako . He declared with more hostility than I had seen before .

I had no idea what he experienced before but he probably had his reasons to see the humans as his enemies .

To be honest, I dont really care whether you trust me or not .

What did you say?

The reason I came with Amako today was to ask if you guys could give her a place to stay .

Eh? . Is that so?

Amako, I thought you already knew . She seemed to be surprised and Kyou doubtfully looked at me . It was probably awkward for him to make eye contact with me as he quickly looked away and sat down . He didnt say anything so I looked in Kirihas direction .

Kiriha, could I count on you to look after Amako during our stay in Luquis? We would be at ease and sleep soundly at night if Amako were to stay with you guys .

Id be happy to! We have countless rooms available and the cost of food for one or two more people isnt much . I dont mind at all!

I see, Im glad

It was obviously better for Amako to be at a place with her own race rather than sleeping with us .

. Also we were important guests in this country right now . It would be a bad idea to draw unnecessary attention towards us . If Amakos appearance were to be discovered in the middle of all this, I cant say what might happen .

It didnt really matter if we would gather attention but it was possible that some people may scheme to take Amako from us .

Then, Ill have to prepare two rooms .

It was probably fine to leave everything to Kiriha .

Shell definitely protect Amako . Additionally, there were people from her race here like Kyou and Satsuki . If theyre here, I could just leave it to Wait . Wait a moment .

Two rooms?

Two rooms? Just who else was she counting in addition to Amako?

I spoke out in confusion and Kiriha who saw my response replied with an Eh, was I wrong? expression .

Arent you also staying?

Hah?

It was really unexpected so I didnt have a response .

Nee-chan! As expected, you cant allow that!! If you let someone like him stay here I-it would be bad, right!?

Kyou took the opportunity provided by my stunned silence to argue against my stay . I had no idea how she interpreted that I would stay here but Kyou, who had received a shock like never before, had spoken out for me instead .

No no, I mean it would be better for Amako to stay with him here, right? Its okay, its okay, theres no need to worry . I had already prepared myself long ago for this possibility Amako, you would rather be together with him, right?

A-Amako

. .

Kiriha brushed Kyou to the side and directed her question towards Amako . Kyou was shivering as he said Amakos name and Amako who was being questioned seemed perplexed as she looked at me .

Amako, itll only be for about 14 days . It was similar to entrusting you to another guardian; you should be fine even without me, right? To begin with, there was no way Amako would think it would better to have me stay here with her

. If Usato is fine with it then

Youre kidding right, Amako

The words that I imagined I wouldnt hear really came out and the spoon in my hand fell down . Even though it would be harder for you to open up to your friend with me at your side

Usato, thats what Amako said . What do you want to do?

Kiriha said with a mischievous smile . Kyou was next to Kiriha blankly staring at me with jealousy while Satsuki was steadily watching me as she continued to take small bites of her bread .

At first, only I was looking at them but now the three of them were fervently looking at me Just what was going on? I was trapped in every direction .

The way you said it was really unfair . Saying that if im fine with it

. Ill need to immediately go to the other knights and ask them first

If you say it like that, there was no way I could possibly refuse, you know?
