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

>Seeing as I had already got up, I went to greet them.

“Did you carry me, Kazuki?”

“Nn? Yeah, but you don’t really need to thank me.
It was a little heavy but it wasn’t 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 couldn’t oversleep so it’s been a while since I’ve in an environment this carefree and lax.

“Leaving that aside Usato, please do something about Senpai.”

“Inukami-senpai?”

While giving a strained laugh, Kazuki turned his head towards Senpai.
Sure enough, Senpai had become sulky because of me 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 mean, it was obvious to see your intentions.
Also calling yourself a beautiful girl feels somewhat 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 wasn’t a fish that would bite onto the fish hook in front of me with such obvious bait.

“Anyways, I heard from Amako.
Senpai was hugging her so she couldn’t fall asleep..”

“Eh.
B-but that’s because she’s so cute so I can’t help it!”

“Don’t try and make excuses… Well, don’t sulk so much.
It’s not like I wasn’t happy, you know? Probably.”

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

“Good grief.
You’re 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 me are normal.”

In response, they just ended up telling me “There’s no way that’s possible.”

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

“Usato-sama being normal… I can’t 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 time it was my turn to become sulky so I sat down and started to perform the magic training that Rose had previously mentioned.

“As expected, I’m not normal huh.”

“You know, doing this isn’t all that difficult.”

Welsey-san said so with her usual expression.
She’s been saying this to me on every occasion ever since we started this journey.
From what I heard, it takes several months of memorization before one usually learns a new magic spell.
However, this wasn’t considered to be that difficult.
As long as someone knew the procedure, anyone could easily do it.
The Welsey-san who had told me that continued to speak…

“That’s why I’ve been telling you..
even if it’s easy to do, it’s still dangerous.
If you mess up, the magic power you unleashed will blow up and inflict damage on yourself.
Really, thinking it’s okay to do this just because you’re a healing magician… This is something you should only try once you’ve 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 something that resembled Orga-san’s dark green light, I repeated this process over many times.
But without seeing anything in front of me, 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 you’re still only thinking about doing it…”

“There’s no problem if you’re here right, Usato-kun?”

No no.
Even though I seemed to be doing everything naturally, I was really having a lot of trouble.
If Senpai were to attempt this and easily succeed, I don’t think I could regain my confidence.
Also, I was genuinely concerned that Senpai would cross a dangerous bridge and didn’t want that.
I didn’t 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 can’t do that! Suzune-sama!!”

“Isn’t it fine, Welsey-san? You think so too right, Kazuki?”

“Yeah… It’s not that I’m not curious but Welsey-san has been telling you to stop, Usato.
It might be better to not try.”

Still, Kazuki really trusts me to this extent… Not that it’s a bad thing.
It would have been nice to get along with each other sooner back in our former 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 don’t want to trouble Usato-kun too much after all.”

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

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

“Oh yeah, how much longer?”

“You mean 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 it’ll be around one hour or so? I don’t know if this world had something like a clock to tell the time though.

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

“Luquis’ healing magician.”
