The Great Magic, The Tempest.

It is a great magic that is at the top of wind magic and rips enemies apart by trapping them in a storm.

Of course, higher-level magic exists, but it’s a level where you have to gather dozens of excellent wizards to use it, so let’s move on.

Even if you can use great magic alone, you can still be considered a recognized wizard.

Kino’s desperate and selfless efforts, having inherited his magic talent straight from his mother, made it possible.

…Hmm, as expected, the original’s formidable enemy and my sister.

“Keee!!”

“Kyaaa!!”

“Aagh!!”

“Everyone, hurry up and run!”

“Huhahahaha! Cry! Scream!!”

Monsters screaming as they are torn apart by the storm.

Soldiers running away with blue faces from the terrifying magic felt right behind them.

And a girl posing in front of him, drunk on himself.

Yeah, what is this abyssal fan?

After the great magic that turned this area upside down, a group of monsters, many of which had been shattered, appeared.

Even if they are monsters that run rampant according to their instincts, they don’t seem to run rampant like before, perhaps because their fighting spirit has been slightly shattered by the aftermath of the terrifying great magic.

“Forward, troops. Destroy the monsters!”

With a voice, about a hundred soldiers appeared near the place where Kino was standing and began to slay the remaining monsters.

“Asta…”

“Brother, you’re all right!!”

My younger brother, Asta, brought reinforcements.

“I couldn’t bring anything but this much as I was in a hurry… Fortunately, I think it will work out somehow.”

The monsters, who couldn’t run wild like before and couldn’t move properly in the cold of the north, were not the enemies of the soldiers.

There were also monsters that survived after being hit by magic, but they were not fine and could not move from the spot, being treated by soldiers or freezing to death.

“Yes. Kino, it was a great magic. Good job.”

“Keukkeuk…My dear bloodline, praise this bloody Alukinon even more!”

“Yeah, but that’s it…!”

Perfect!!

“Ouch!!”

“Before I used my magic, I told you beforehand!!”

“That…But there’s no way I’m going to hit you like this!!”

“…Once I’ve recovered my magic, I’ll have to give a sermon when I return to the fort.”

Kino, who returned to his normal way of speaking after a night of honey, cried and held his head.

I turned my eyes and looked at Asta.

Asta saw Kino scolded by me and nodded his head.

…Was there something?

“Anyway, you must be very tired. Thank you for coming to help, Asta!”

Let’s hit Asta on the shoulder like that with his fist.

“Keep off!!”

“Uh…?”

Asta crouched down on the spot, holding his shoulders.

“Tongue…Brother…I still have muscle pain…”

“…Sorry.”

Come to think of it, it was.

After dealing with all the remaining monsters with the soldiers, I cleaned up.

Kino is resting to recover his mana, and Asta is also resting, as his muscle pain is lessened.

In the end, the soldiers brought by Asta and Kino, and all the soldiers who fought alongside me, finished cleaning up.

Of course, it is the dismantling of the monster.

If the defeated monster is not dismantled and the magic stone is pulled out, there is a risk that another monster will consume the magic stone and become stronger.

That’s why it was a rule of thumb to extract at least a magic stone from a defeated monster.

After some work went into orbit, I decided to go to Asta and Kino to take a break at the soldiers’ recommendation.

Kino was sleeping in the enchanted magic tool of the sleeping bag, and Asta was sitting and resting in a comfortable position.

“Did my older brother come to rest too?”

“Yes, the soldiers tell us to rest as a group.”

“…Did you hear that the monsters were aiming for you, brother?”

“Yes. To be honest, this was the first time I’ve experienced anything like that.”

In the first place, the behavior of the monsters this time was strange, but it was also the behavior that can sometimes be seen if something happened to their residence.

…Well, it’s the first time I’ve seen something happen on such a large scale.

However, I had never heard of a monster targeting and attacking a specific person.

Among monsters, even the cunning goblin species are monsters that act close to instinct, but it’s almost impossible for ordinary monsters to only aim for a specific target.

The mystery only grew.

“Anyway, it’s fortunate that the rescue request arrived quickly.”

“You mean the Silver Lang lady?”

“Yeah, he’s actually an academy classmate too. Is he okay?”

“It’s okay, I’m resting together after being treated by Lady Riel.”

I’m glad.

I felt uncomfortable entrusting Yeong Ji-min, who is neither a soldier nor a warrior, with the role of a messenger, but it is fortunate that he is all right.

But wait a minute.

Asta knows that Emilia is from the Rang tribe, and she thinks that if Riel is with Emilia now…

Emilia, did she ever find out to Riel that she is of the Nlang tribe?

Emilia felt uneasy about Riel, who was treating her silently.

Unlike Sogaju, who is from the north, Riel is not from the north.

Wouldn’t she despise her knowing that she was a beast?

Emilia felt like her insides were burning.

It’s a childhood story.

When she went to sell the spoils of the hunt with her father at the Arrian Road Fortress, Emilia was distracted by the sight she saw for the first time and lost sight of her father.

It’s already a complicated market, but Emilia, who missed her father at a young age, was lost and wandering.

At that time, a group of nasty people found Emilia.

[Wow, look at this? Are the offspring crawling openly here?]

Those who surround themselves, shove, tug at their ears, and play pranks.

The market people tried to stop them, but the men didn’t want to listen, and even started to use violence, such as hitting or kicking.

[There! Discrimination against other races is strictly prohibited!]

The guards rushed to the villagers’ report and took them away, but Emilia trembled in fear until her father, who had run out of her breath, ran into her arms.

From what I heard later, it seemed that they were mercenaries from other provinces.

That day, my father explained to me that such things are common in other provinces.

That’s why, right now, Emilia was very anxious that her first friend, Riel, would also treat her like that.

“It seems that all the visible wounds have been healed… Are there any uncomfortable places?”

“……”

“Emi?”

“Uh…Uh?! Huh…! Are you…Are you okay…?”

“Huh? Why are you asking me that?”

Riel looked at Emilia for a moment with her questioning eyes at Emilia’s strange behavior.

Emilia bowed her head at her awkwardness, just like her Emilia.

A few minutes later.

In the end, Emilia spoke first.

“Hey… Riel…?”

“Huh? You decided to just call me Riel?”

“Uh…Yeah… Hey…Riel…What do you think…That I’m a beastman?”

Oops, did I ask too bluntly?

She was Emilia who thought so for a moment.

“That’s… I was very surprised.”

As expected…

Thinking so, Emilia felt like her heart would be torn.

But Riel’s words didn’t end there.

“That… Can I touch your ear?”

“…… Huh?”

“Ah! If it’s just embarrassing and something like that, you can refuse…”

“No, it doesn’t matter…”

Emilia’s eyes asked what she was talking about.

But to Riel, it seemed that the only thing that mattered was that permission was granted.

“Wow! Then…”

“Wow!”

Riel reached out and touched Emilia’s wolf ears right away.

“Wow… Fluffy… Warm…”

“Now…Wait…? Riel…?”

“Like this…Slightly moving…Wow…”

Emilia, unable to move in a panic at the sudden situation, and Riel, who is preoccupied with her own actions.

After a few minutes, Riel, who had regained her composure, left Emilia first.

Emilia caught her breath with her slightly flushed face, and she spoke again.

“Hey…It’s not like that, maybe it’s because I’m a beast race…”

“Huh? Why do I hate Emmy?”

“So… That… Because I’m a beastman…?”

Emilia’s face is still uneasy, but the anxiety has disappeared to some extent.

Looking at Emilia like that, Riel put on a dazed expression.

“Does the beast tribe have a relationship?”

“That’s… Beast tribes are subtly discriminated against in all parts of the continent…”

“…Did that happen?”

I only knew about the beast tribe, but Riel had no idea about such a situation.

Of course, Riel’s thoughts had nothing to do with the perception of the public.

“I was surprised to learn that Emmy was a beast, but I didn’t hate her that much, did I?”

“…Really?”

“Yeah. I thought it was rather cute.”

“So…Then… Riel is still friends with me…?”

Emilia’s question was still a bit uneasy.

She must have sensed Emilia’s uneasiness in it, and Riel hugged Emilia tightly.

“Of course, me and Emmy are friends.”

“Ah…”

In that warm hug, the anxiety in Emilia’s heart seemed to melt away.

“Hey… I’m really sorry.”

Moments later, after the real Emilia slipped out of Riel’s arms, she bowed her head and apologized to her.

“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

“That’s… Riel also wanted to go save Lord Soga. But because of me…”

“Oh, is it because of that?”

In fact, Riel also wanted to accompany the reinforcements after hearing that Kyou was in danger.

But when Asta stopped Riel, she asked for Emilia’s treatment.

‘If something happens to the young lady, I’ll be killed by my older brother!!’

Asta desperately stops her for some reason, and Riel, who can’t look after her injured Emilia.

And there were other reasons as well.

“It’s okay, I’ll just wait for now.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes, Kyou said he would return safely.”

Riel smiled brightly as she looked at Emilia.

“So it’s okay. Kyou must keep his promise.”
