Hey...

Hold on a second!

What the hell was that?

Why were Inukami-senpai and Kazuki...

I need to ask that girl!

Please, you're my only hope...

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

#7 A Night of Decisions!

A fox beastkin?

She didn't pass through here.

Of course not...

She looked like a kid, so I'm sure she couldn't have gone far.

Damn it! Where'd that little fox go?!

What are you fussing about?

Captain?

I-I must return to my post.

Excuse me!

Thomas is as terrified of the captain as ever...

Though I totally understand why.

Hey! That hurts!

What do you understand?

N-Nothing! Nothing at all!

More importantly, where've you been?!

The outskirts of the kingdom. I was scouting.

Scouting?

The Demon Lord's army.

They're building a bridge to cross the river into our lands.

What? Then...

I destroyed the bridge. We'll be fine for a while.

Do you understand what scouting means—

My face! My face is going to explode!

A fox beastkin?

That girl.

You know her?

I don't know much about her.

She suddenly showed up here in the kingdom about two years ago.

I was surprised. She managed to elude bandits and kidnappers by herself,

even though she's only about twelve years old.

Kidnappers?

They consider beastkin to be valuable prey.

Not only are many beastkin beautiful,

some of them also have special magic affinities.

Like the ability to show others strange illusions?

Illusions? What do you mean?

W-Well, I mean...

Like terrible nightmares, or visions of an unpleasant future.

Future?

I've heard there are beastkin known as Oracles of Time who can see the future.

Oracles of Time?

They're exceedingly rare and usually well protected in beastkin territory.

What of them?

Er, nothing. I just read something about them in a book...

A beastkin with prophetic visions...

If she's one of them...

I'm going to see His Majesty.

You go on home.

Okay...

And that concludes my report on the border.

I see.

Apologies for making you do something so dangerous, Rose.

Thank you for delaying the enemy's invasion.

Not at all. However, I'm sure they're building a new bridge as we speak.

They'll likely finish in a few days.

Yes...

And then, they will invade our kingdom.

Tomorrow, I will announce their intentions

to both our soldiers and the citizens.

Sergio, make preparations.

As you wish.

Siglis, I would like to notify Suzune and Kazuki tonight. Call them.

Understood.

I wonder what this emergency summons is about.

Yeah. I mean, it's probably about... you know.

You think so, too?

Hey, Celia. Good evening.

G-Good evening, Dame Suzune.

You as well, Sir Kazuki.

G-Good evening... Princess Celia.

My father is waiting for you.

Please go and see him.

Yeah. We'll be on our way.

Kazuki-kun.

R-Right.

Did something happen between you and Celia?

N-Not really.

Well, whatever.

Let's do this.

Yeah.

I can't sleep...

If that was a prophetic vision, what should I do?

That means it's a future only you can change.

Was she telling me there's a way to prevent what I saw?

She told me so I could change the future...

But there's no way I'm capable of doing something like that.

Wh-What?

A ghost?!

Kazuki?

It's so late. You scared me.

Sorry. You probably have an early morning because of your training.

Well, I'm not really worried about that.

You can't really sleep in, either, can you?

I mean, you're a hero.

What's wrong?

The king summoned us tonight.

He told us that the war against the Demon Lord's army will soon begin.

I knew it was coming, so I'm not exactly surprised.

Senpai was really excited about it.

But me?

The idea of actually going into battle kept me awake.

I left the castle and came here before I realized it.

I... ran.

Usato, I...

I'm afraid of going to war.

Even when I left the capital to fight monsters for training,

I was terrified.

When I saw my first monsters, my legs froze.

And... And upon finally defeating them after a fierce fight,

I realized just how naïvely I've been seeing everything.

The Demon Lord's army means to slaughter us.

It's unbearably terrifying.

But the people of this kingdom have been so kind to me.

They support me and expect great things.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

That makes it even more painful.

Kazuki, you're a really cool guy.

I thought you were never unsure or scared of anything.

You're so cool, after all.

How's that even possible?

Right?

I get that now.

The fact that everyone feels that way about you puts you under tremendous pressure.

Usato...

I think it's fine.

You don't need to live up to their expectations all the time.

It's okay to put your own feelings first every once in a while.

What about you, Usato?

I want to know how you feel about all this.

I'm going.

I'm going to save the people who fight against the Demon Lord's army.

Aren't you scared?

Yeah, I'm scared as hell.

But I've already made up my mind.

You've made up your mind?

Are you sure? You could die out there!

You were only dragged into this world by accident.

Well, I won't argue that the way I got dragged into this was kinda messed up.

But a lot's happened since I came here.

So much of it has been hard, but I've been lucky to meet all kinds of people.

They've accepted me, even as an accidental plus one,

and shown me the way forward.

I want to save all those people.

Usato...

Naturally, that includes you, Kazuki.

Of course.

Even if you don't fight as a hero, you're still my friend.

I've been acting so lame!

I've decided.

I'll fight to protect you and Senpai!

H-

I don't know if I can truly fight as a hero yet.

But I'll still fight.

I want to protect my friends. I want to protect you.

H-Hold on.

I know this is weird coming from me, but are you sure?

You've decided to fight, so I can't cower and stand back.

I have to run forward.

I'll face the fear and everything else head-on!

Really? You're okay with that?

When the two of you are by my side, I feel so much better.

So I know I'll be fine!

I see.

In that case, let's defend this kingdom and its people together!

Yeah! We'll definitely keep them safe!

H-Hey, we ended up saying some pretty cringey stuff...

What are you talking about?

I'm really glad to have met you. Thanks.

Kazuki, you really are too cool!

You're much cooler, Usato!

See you. Thanks again, Usato.

Yeah. Goodnight.

I should head back and sleep.

And forget all the embarrassing things I said. Yup. Done.

My! So that's what true bromance is like!

What a wonderful display.

Sorry.

I'm tired, so let's talk tomorrow, Inukami-senpai.

What kind of reaction is that?

This is where you're supposed to go, "Whoa, it's Suzu-tan! What in the world?!"

Don't just take the liberty of changing what I call you.

I know you must have realized that Kazuki wasn't himself.

I bet you followed him here out of worry.

That's right.

Looks like I wasn't needed, though.

Seems like Kazuki-kun has made up his mind.

Honestly, I still don't really want him to fight.

Usato-kun, do you not want me to fight, either?

Of course I don't.

But you're a different story.

You've already decided you want to stay in this world.

Yeah, you're right.

I should get back to the castle.

Tomorrow is bound to be hectic.

Goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight.

I have an announcement to make today.

The Demon Lord's army has breached our borders.

They will soon be upon us.

We will intercept them in the grasslands.

Our forces succeeded in driving them away two years ago.

Naturally, they will surely return more powerful than before.

This will not be an easy fight.

However, we are not as we were before, either!

We now have Hero Suzune and Hero Kazuki!

These champions summoned from another world will lend us their strength.

We also have the Rescue Team, who tremendously aided us two years ago.

Once again, they will take to the battlefield to heal our wounded.

I am sure many of you are uneasy, but I say unto you with certainty...

The Kingdom of Llinger will surely be victorious!

What makes me so certain? Because I know.

We have legions of dauntless, stalwart troops who know no fear.

And they are the ones who stand before me today!

We set out tomorrow.

This battle...

shall be ours!

Princess Celia, Hero Kazuki is here to see you.

What?

Sir Kazuki...

I'm sorry for the sudden intrusion.

No, I'm very happy.

So you're going to battle, then.

Yes. I'll be leaving with everyone tomorrow.

I will pray earnestly for your victory.

Thank you. I will be sure to protect this kingdom from the Demon Lord's army.

I'm off, Celia.

Fare thee well, Sir Kazuki.

You must return unharmed.

I will.

How cute!

Is this the Blurin I've heard so much about?

Hey, can I pet him?

I don't mind, but I don't know if he'll let you.

It'll be fine! I have a feeling we'll get along.

Sorry, he's shy!

Why?!

Are you trying to make me feel better, Kukuru?

Thanks...

Why?!

O-Orga! Are you okay?!

Th-Thank you, Usato.

I'm sorry we've caused you such trouble.

Not at all.

Ururu's always so spirited.

She's actually pretty nervous right now.

Like you, this will be her first battle.

I think she's trying to distract herself by acting like that.

She is?

Hey, Usato! Boss wants you in her room.

In the captain's room?

Where else?

No, I mean...

I've never been called to her room before.

What's she planning?

Is it finally time for torture?!

How the hell would I know? Just go.

Pardon me. It's Usato.

Come in.

What did you need?

I thought I'd have a talk with you.

Do you remember what I said your role is on the battlefield?

Um, you told me that I would heal the wounded at the vanguard with you.

That's right.

But we won't go out right at the start.

Tong and the others will bring the injured to the rear,

and we'll heal them with Orga and Ururu.

Why not go out immediately?

No point in going with the vanguard when no one's hurt yet.

The front is chaotic. We'd be easy targets for the enemy.

That makes sense...

Once we do hit the front line, you'll have to be extra careful.

Make no mistake about who you heal.

Are you telling me not to heal the enemy?

Stupid. That's not it.

I'm telling you not to be clumsy when healing.

Let's say there's a soldier

with a minor injury who's out on the battlefield.

What happens if you go in close to heal them?

I'll get in their way.

Exactly.

It's hard to tell enemies and allies apart on the battlefield.

You must be quick to decide who needs you and who doesn't.

I understand.

What's this?

Open the box.

Okay.

The Rescue Team's official uniform.

It's made to stand out on the battlefield.

This one is yours. Try it on.

R-Right!

You look pretty good.

Toughening you up was worth it.

I-I guess so.

It's true this wouldn't have looked good on me before...

Listen, Usato.

Healers aren't immortal.

If you die, it's all over.

Remember this.

The worst possible thing you can do on the battlefield is not value your own life.

I know that.

I don't want to die.

Are you stupid?

Ouch!

That's easy for everyone to say.

I know people who've died after spouting shit like that.

I've also known fools who regret it so much they want to die.

Don't take your life for granted.

A true Rescue Team member also protects themselves.

Don't do something stupid like sacrifice yourself,

or I'll kill you before the enemy gets you.

Then I'll protect everyone, including myself.

Can you really do that?

You're the one who told me to keep spouting my ideals.

Don't forget you said that.

Yes, ma'am!

Excuse me.

Whether that was a prophetic vision or not doesn't matter anymore.

I know what I need to do.

I won't let Kazuki or Senpai die!
