Novels


    It was the second time that I was visiting this town .


    There were a lot of people walking down the road, but I shouldnt drop my speed .


    Like Rose said, I needed to get used to running around people .


    Nevertheless, Ill probably get a lot of stares from others while running around town and carrying Bluerin on my shoulders .


    Normally, the people in town should be scared of Bluerin because hes a monster . Yet for some reason, instead of being afraid, they seemed to be giving an again huh look every time they saw me .


    I wonder why were not causing a commotion . Right, Bluerin?


    To the others, my appearance should be strange . After all, Im wearing a weird training vest and sitting on top of me was a big bear .


    If it was me, I would definitely report this .


    Although Im conscious of the fact that Im calling myself strange .


    Well, I guess its better if theres no commotion . That way, I can concentrate .


    The town was quite large… Ive been here once before, yet I cant help but run on the main street where people live rather than in the alleyways . The reason was that in case I got lost, I could use the large castle as a landmark to guide me .


    Nevertheless, there were a lot of shops here . A lot of the fruits that I fed to Bluerin in the morning were being sold here, I wonder if theyre a specialty here . Ill ask Tong afterwards to see .


    Hey .


    The last time I passed here I only took a few side glances but this time I noticed a fragrant smell in the air .


    I peeked inside the street stall while I was running; they were selling peculiar-shaped food inside and they were much different in shape compared to food in my former world .


    Haa… Haa… Wa… it…


    At any rate, what was going on?


    For some time now, Ive been hearing a voice . It seemed like it was gradually getting closer to me, it appears were separated at a distance . It might be because Im running but still, it was odd for someone to approach me .


    Is someone trying to call out to me?


    Having my doubts, I took a look behind—


    … Geho… Haa… Haa… Wait, you there…


    Separated by 10 meters, there was a slender male who collapsed due to using up all his strength .


    I was dumbfounded at the sight in front of me but Bluerins cry helped me return to my senses . I went up to meet the other party halfway .


    Putting Bluerin down for a moment, I placed the palm of my hand on the mans back and poured healing magic into him .


    Are, are you okay……?


    Cough… Finally… You noticed…


    This person seemed to want something from me .


    While using healing magic, I raised my body up .


    The thin man who had a pale face showed an apologetic expression and raised his body as well .


    He had blonde hair and was fairly handsome . However, he seemed to have a very unfortunate look from the shadow of his appearance .


    It seemed like he was still feeling unwell, we should return to the main street for now . From there, I found a wooden box for him to sit on .


    How are you feeling?


    No, its just… Sorry…


    I dont particularly mind . You have some business with me?


    He seemed to have settled down a lot, a lot of vigor had returned to his face . The man, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head with his hand .


    Well~, looks like I ended up being greeted by my kouhai .


    Kouhai you say…


    Huh? You didnt hear it from leader-san?


    Kouhai? The only senpais that came to mind in the Rescue Squad after entering this world were Tong and them .


    That scary bunch werent suited to be called senpai though .


    If that was so, this person is…… Ah .


    Youre a healing magician apart from me and leader!


    Hahaha, leader-san . It seems like she didnt explain much about us . Well then, I should introduce myself . Im a Rescue Squad member, Olga Fleur, by the way Im 23 years old . Id be happy if you just call me Olga without reserve .


    My name is Usato . I recently joined the Rescue Squad . I look forward to working with you, Olga-san .


    This person could use healing magic just like me .


    From what Rose told me, this person wouldnt be in charge of the front lines but rather be supporting from the back .


    Sorry, Im disturbing you while youre training . I walked here to buy pharmaceutical drugs when suddenly I spotted a Rescue Squad member carrying a Blue Grizzly cub on their back… . . Whats more, it was a face I didnt recognize . Thats why I thought it might be that newcomer that I heard about from before .


    I see, so thats how it is… Nn? How do you know Im someone in the Rescue Squad?


    Being able to see that I was a strange person carrying a bear was understandable, however, that shouldnt give any hints to my relations with the Rescue Squad .


    How did they know?


    Hahaha, thats because of the clothes youre wearing . This training uniform is special because only the Rescue Squad members are permitted to wear it . On the uniform, there should be a green embroidery on it right?


    Eh? …… Ah, yeah there is one .


    A green flower was sown on the trousers near my thighs .


    Ive never really thought much about it but it seemed that Olga-san was able to tell I was part of the Rescue Squad because of this .


    Incidentally, around this area is where Tong and the others usually run . The townspeople are quite used to it now .


    I see, thats why they arent too astonished when they see me and Bluerin…


    Although I would be eaten if I tried bringing along a Blue Grizzly cub with me… Hahaha .


    I ran this much in town already and I wondered why someone carrying a bear wasnt having much impact . Well well, the mystery is solved now .


    Bluerin was looking at me while I was making a strange expression . I gently petted him, and then I looked towards Olgas direction .


    He was showing a smile towards me and then he opened his mouth,


    Even so, its really surprising . To be able to go along with leader-sans grueling training that is . We couldnt accompany it at all you know .


    No no, Im desperate too thats why… Nn? We, meaning, youre referring to the… other person who can use healing magic right?


    Thats right, its my imouto thats 5 years younger than me . Instead of participating in the training, were running a clinic .


    It was a pair of siblings that were able to use healing magic huh . Ones aptitude for magic seemed to run close in the family .


    Ooh, brother and sister is it…


    But its not like were not in the Rescue Squad anymore . Whenever an emergency arises, we return to the leader-sans side and treat the injured .


    I see now, in exchange for not participating in the training, they helped with diagnosis and treatment around town . When a war happens, their role was to heal allies in the rear . It looked like this person had thought out various things already .


    However, Olga-san should be a healing magician just like me . Why was he unable to heal himself when he was chasing after me?


    Olga-san, could it be that you cant heal your own body?


    Ah, about that, healing myself has never been my strong point . Conversely, healing others is my specialty . Even so, my body being weak is the reason why leader-sans training isnt suited for me… Its a different reason for my sister, however .


    So thats the case…


    There seemed to be individual differences between what could be done with magic and what couldnt be done .


    If I have time to spare later on, I would like to go see Olga-san and his imoutos clinic .


    Carrying Bluerin on my back, I stood up .


    Well, I should be getting back to training now . It would be best if Olga-san rested for a while longer .


    Sorry for disturbing you, Usato-kun .


    Not at all, I was glad to be able to talk with you, Olga-san .


    I shouldnt rest for too long .


    The reason was because Ill get scolded but it was also because I want to take my training seriously .


    Ah, theres just one more thing .


    Yes?


    Olga-san called out to me and I turned back to look at him, his face was no longer smiling but was instead replaced with a very serious expression .


    I want you to not hate Rose-san too much . That person is quite violent but how should I say it… Theyre clumsy and awkward, thats why…


    From this point on, they changed from calling leader-san to Rose-san, which means they are likely referring to Rose as an individual person and not her role as a leader . If thats the case, my answer was already decided .


    Its alright . From the beginning, Ive never hated her! Then, see you on another occasion!!


    She was a strict, violent, kichiku leader but for some reason I didnt have any feelings of hate towards her .


    Although I have one or two things to say to her about when she threw me in that forest… If it wasnt for that, I wouldnt have met Bluerin so I guess its acceptable .


    But with regards to the Grand Grizzly, that was unfortunate…


    However, thinking about what would have happened if that snake in the forest came out to attack the kingdom, I felt shivers running down my spine .


    …… Thinking of it like that, maybe it was a good thing after all .


    While facing forward, I ran .


    If I make another turn around the castle, I should be able to see Kazuki and senpai at this time . It has been a while since Ive seen their faces, I should go see them .


    …… But wouldnt it be bad to take Bluerin inside of the castle?


    *


    While looking at the scene of the boy running and shouldering the Blue Grizzly, I was lost in my own emotions .


    A healing magician thats the same type as leader-san, hes that kind of boy…


    He wasn’t a healing magician like me who was a specialty type, but rather a well-balanced type . Actually, I had no complaints about the effects of the healing magic he casted on me .


    I was still only in my twenties, but I felt a little moved .


    While sitting on the wooden box that Usato-kun prepared for me, I looked up towards the sky .


    It seems youve finally found it leader-san… You wont be deployed on the battlefield just by yourself next time you know .


    Onii-cha———n .


    It appears my imouto has come .


    Regardless of how worried you are, there was no need to show such a frantic expression…… Truly, such a troublesome imouto .


    Onii-chan! Youve been out by yourself for the entire day, do you want to die!?


    Im not that weak of a person you know!?


    Eh? But, its onii-chan after all .


    What was with that way of talking…? Naturally treating my existence like it was weak… Wasnt that cruel?


    No no, I shouldnt pay too much attention to it . I should talk to my cute imouto about the recent encounter I just had .


    Leaving that aside, I met an interesting child today you know .


    Yeah?


    You should try meeting them once too .


    From now on, there will surely be interesting things in store to look forward to .


    Shiru: I noticed some of my tenses were off at times so I went back to earlier chapters (1-6) to scan for all of them but gave up half-way due to lack of time . Majority of people would hardly notice them so… instead, Ill be more cautious of them from now on .


    Also, I think most people know what these terms mean since reading Web Novels is quite niche… but in case you dont know:


    Kouhai - Junior


    Imouto - Little sister


    Onii-chan - Big brother


    *There can be various different forms and such, blah blah…


    I will try to stick to certain indigenous terms to not break the immersion . Certain Japanese terms just cant be accurately conveyed in the same meaning in English . :c
