Hey!

Wait a minute!

What was that just now?

Why were Inukami-senpai and Kazuki dead?!

I have to ask her!

I'm begging you...

Only you can change the future.

THE WRONG WAY TO USE HEALING MAGIC

#7 THE NIGHT OF RESOLVE!

#7 THE NIGHT OF RESOLVE! A fox beastman girl?

#7 THE NIGHT OF RESOLVE! No, I haven't seen her come this way.

I guess not.

She was still young...

she couldn't have gotten far.

Damn it! Where did that little fox go?

What's with all the commotion?

Captain?

I-I'll head back to my post!

Don't mind me!

Thomas-san...

He's still scared of you, huh?

Not like I can't understand him.

Ouch! Ouch! Ow, ow, ow!

Just what do you understand?

Come again?

Stop! Nothing! Nothing at all!

Where have you been, anyway?

Just a short trip to the border.

Scouting.

Scouting?

It's the Demon Lord's Army.

They were trying to cross the river by building a bridge.

Wait. Does that mean...?

I destroyed their bridge,

so we should be all right for the time being.

What part of that is scout—

My head! It's going to explode!

A fox beastman?

Oh, her.

You know her?

Not personally...

That girl appeared here two years ago.

She's only around 12.

Yet, she made it here all by herself,

evading all the bandits and kidnappers.

Kidnappers?

Demi-humans are extremely valuable to them.

Not only are they prized for their physical appearance,

some even have an aptitude for rare magic.

Does that include the ability to show others strange visions?

Visions? Like what?

How should I put this...

Like a nightmare.

Like a future you hope never comes to pass.

Future, huh?

There are supposedly beastmen who can use a magic called precognition...

Precognition?

They're extremely rare.

Even if such beastmen did exist, they'd be well-guarded back in the Beastlands.

What about it?

O-Oh, it's nothing. I was just reading about them in a book.

Right...

Beastmen who can see into the future...

What if that girl was one of them?

Huh?

I'm going to see Lloyd-sama.

You head back first.

All right...

That is all I have to report.

I see.

I apologize for putting you in danger.

Thank you for halting their advance.

It was nothing.

But they should be working on a new bridge.

It will be completed in a few days.

Indeed. And they will begin their invasion.

Tomorrow, we will inform the soldiers and the citizens of the invasion.

Sergio, begin the preparations.

As you command.

Siglis, I want to have a word with Suzune and Kazuki before the night is up.

Call them here at once.

Right away.

What do you think this urgent matter's about?

Well, it's probably...

what else could it be?

You think so?

Hey, Celia. Good evening.

Good evening, Suzune-sama.

You, too, Kazuki-sama.

E-Evening...

Celia-san...

My father is waiting.

You may go see him now.

Thanks! We'll see you later, then.

Come, Kazuki-kun.

Right...

Did something happen between the two of you?

Wha...?

No, nothing happened.

Well, if you say so.

All right, let's do this.

Let's.

I can't sleep

Even if that was a vision of the future,

what can I do about it?

That is why this is a future you can change.

Does that mean I can prevent it from happening?

She wants me to change the future?

But there's no way I can do that...

Huh? W-What is that?

A ghost?

Kazuki?

I didn't expect to see you at this time of night!

My bad.

You've got to get up early to train, right?

Nah, it's all right.

You're in no position to sleep in either, right?

I mean, you're the great hero!

Something wrong?

Just now, we were called up by the king.

And he told us...

that the battle with the Demon Lord's Army will soon begin.

I was expecting it, so I wasn't all too surprised.

Senpai was already raring to go.

As for me?

As for me...

when I pictured myself fighting,

I couldn't fall asleep and ran out of the castle.

Now, here I am.

I... ran away.

Usato, I'm...

scared...

to fight.

When I left the kingdom to train...

When I fought monsters for real...

I was really scared.

My legs froze up when I saw them for the first time.

They put up a fierce resistance, and when I finally managed to defeat them...

I... realized.

I realized just how lightly I've been taking everything.

The Demon Lord's Army will try to kill me with everything they've got.

I'm just so unbelievably scared.

And yet... the people of this kingdom are so kind to me.

They support me and are counting on me.

I can't stand it!

Kazuki...

you're a really cool guy, you know?

What?

I thought you always knew what to do and never got scared.

I mean, you're a cool guy, right?

I get scared, too!

Of course, you do.

I know that now.

The expectations of those around you have been a burden.

Usato.

You don't have to, you know?

You don't have to keep living up to those expectations.

Sometimes, it's all right to put yourself first.

Usato, what about you?

Tell me what you really feel.

I'm going.

I'm going to save those who will fight the Demon Lord's Army.

Aren't you scared?

Of course, I am.

But that is what I decided.

Decided?

Are you serious?

You could die!

You were just dragged into all this by accident!

That might be how I got here...

but I've experienced many things since then.

There were some tough times,

but I've also met many people...

people who accepted me and showed me the way.

I want to help them.

Usato...

That includes you, too.

Obviously!

It doesn't matter if you fight or not.

You're still my friend either way.

I'm so lame!

All right.

I'm going to fight to protect both you and Senpai.

I don't know if I can fight as a hero,

but I'll fight nonetheless!

I want to help my friends...

To help you!

W-Wait! I know what I said, but are you sure?

I can't just sit here when you're already resolved to fight, can I?

I'll charge right ahead!

Take my fear and fight... in spite of it!

Are you really sure?

When I think about having both you and Senpai by my side,

I couldn't be more reassured!

I'll be all right now!

That's good to hear.

Well then...

let's do this together!

Protect this kingdom...

and everyone in it!

Yeah,

you got it!

I-I just said something really corny, didn't I?

What are you talking about?

I'm really glad I met you!

Thanks for everything!

Kazuki, you're way too cool for your own good!

No, you're the cool one!

Good night, and thank you, Usato!

Sure, any time!

Time to hit the hay.

I'll forget I ever said those corny lines.

Yup. That's what I'll do.

So, that's what you call bromance, huh?

That was quite the show!

I'm sorry, but I'm sleepy.

Can we do this tomorrow, Inukami-senpai?

Huh? That's all?

Isn't this where you go... "Oh! It's Suzu-tan! Why's she here?!"

...or am I mistaken?

When have I ever called you "Suzu-tan"?

This is you we're talking about.

I bet you noticed Kazuki acting weird.

You then got worried and followed him here.

That's pretty much it.

But there's nothing left for me to do.

Looks like you've managed to snap him out of it.

To be honest, there's still a part of me that doesn't want him to fight.

Usato-kun, would you rather I not fight?

Of course.

But your situation is different.

You've already made up your mind to live in this world.

Yup. Guess you're right.

Time for me to get back to the castle.

It's going to be a big day tomorrow.

Night!

Thanks. Good night to you, too.

I have a proclamation to make today!

The Demon Lord's Army has been sighted near the border.

It is only a matter of time before they invade.

We plan to intercept them in the grasslands.

Two years ago, our troops successfully repelled the Demon Lord's Army.

Our enemy has undoubtedly strengthened their forces.

This time, it will not be as easy.

However!

We have also strengthened our forces.

We have Hero Suzune and Hero Kazuki,

two heroes summoned from another world

who have pledged their powers to help us.

We also have those from the Rescue Squad who played a critical role two years ago!

They are sure to do so once again with their healing magic on the battlefield.

I am sure some of you are worried.

But... I am not!

Our kingdom will emerge victorious!

That is because... I know our soldiers!

They are brave, strong, and fearless.

And they are standing right before me!

Tomorrow, we fight!

And we will...

win!

Celia-sama, Hero Kazuki is here to see you.

Kazuki-sama.

I beg your pardon...

for coming unannounced.

No, I am glad.

You're going, are you not? Into battle?

Yes, I am. Together with everyone else.

We depart tomorrow.

I will pray for your success in battle.

Thank you very much.

I swear to protect this country from the Demon Lord's Army.

I'll be back... Celia.

Good luck, Kazuki-sama.

Please come back safe.

I will.

Wow! So cute!

So, this is the Blurin everyone's been talking about!

Can I pet him?

Fine by me.

But I'm not sure if he will let you.

It's fine! I'm sure we'll be fast friends!

Sorry! He's not good with new people!

Why?

Kukuru-chan!

Will you console me?

Thank yo—

Why?!

O-Orga-san?!

Are you all right?

T-Thank you, Usato-kun.

Sorry for the trouble we're causing you.

Not at all.

She's certainly a cheerful one.

She's actually pretty nervous right now.

Just like you, it's her first time in battle.

That's just her way of hiding her anxiety.

I see...

Hey, Usato!

Big Sis wants to see ya in her room.

Her room? The captain's quarters?

Where else?

I've never been called up to her room before...

What is she going to do to me? Is it finally torture time?

Hell if I know. Get movin'.

May I come in? It's Usato.

Enter!

You were looking for me?

We need to talk.

Do you remember what your role on the battlefield is?

Let's see...

to heal the injured together with you on the front lines.

That's right.

But we will not do so at the beginning.

Tong and the others will ferry the wounded back to the rear.

We'll treat them there together with Orga and Ururu.

Why won't we be going to the front lines?

There's no point. There won't be many wounded people at the start of battle.

The front lines will be chaotic. We'll be sitting ducks.

You have a point...

One more thing about being on the front lines.

Don't save the wrong people.

Like not healing the enemy?

Not that, you idiot.

Don't go healing everyone you see.

Let's say you see someone who's still fighting despite being injured.

What's gonna happen if you try to heal him?

I'll just be getting in his way.

That's right.

In battle, our troops will be mixed with the enemy's.

Use your judgment to decide who to heal at a moment's notice.

Understood!

What's this?

Look inside.

Okay.

The Rescue Squad uniform.

It's made to help one stand out on the battlefield.

Right...

It's yours, wear it!

Right away!

Gotta say, it fits you well.

It was worth building up all that muscle, huh?

Y-You think?

I certainly wouldn't have looked good in it before—

Listen here, Usato.

Healers aren't immortal.

Once you die, it's game over.

Remember this!

The one thing to never do on the battlefield...

is to take your life for granted.

I... know that already.

It's not like I want to die.

- Are you an idiot? - Ow!

Talk is cheap.

I know people who said that crap and died anyway...

and I know an idiot who's just dying with regret.

Don't underestimate the value of your life.

Being part of the Rescue Squad means that you have to save yourself, too.

Give me any of that self-sacrificing crap...

and I'll kill you before the enemy does.

Very well.

I will save everyone, including myself.

Can you do that?

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

Don't forget what you just said.

Roger!

Thank you, Captain!

It doesn't matter if that was a vision of the future or not.

What I have to do is clear.

Not let Kazuki or Senpai die.

No matter what!
