This is LN version. If you like it, I will continue translating it. If you are not okay, and prefer the WN, I will continue the WN version.
After completing the journey of handing over the letter, we and Inukami-senpai finally returned to the Lingle Kingdom.
It was impressive that my best friend Kazuki, whom I had not seen in a long time, was so moved to tears when he saw us, and I don't want to tell a soul that I was on the verge of tears myself.
After reporting our journey to Lloyd-sama, the King of the Kingdom of Lingle, I headed back to my home in this world, the dormitory of the Rescue Squad.
There, I was reunited with the same fierce-looking guys as ever, Ferrum the demon tribe, and Nack, whom I had parted ways with in Lukvis.
I was as happy as if it were my own success to see him here as an official member of the Rescue Squad. Not because I had recommended him, but because Nack had been able to start walking a new path.
And then I was reunited with Rose, the leader of the Rescue Squad.
When I told her about the events of my journey and many other things, she got a little angry at me for being so reckless.
Rose said she wanted to see how strong I had become, and also see Nea's abilities, so we decided to have a mock battle.
I am aware that I have become somewhat stronger through my journey, but I can't really imagine a vision of me defeating Rose......

Since returning, I've been devoting myself to training as a rescue squad member, but today I've been summoned to the castle to report on the events that occurred during my journey to deliver the letter.
We wanted to report to Lloyd-sama immediately after our return, but Lloyd-sama was more concerned about our tiredness and said that a formal report could be made at a later date.
Gathered in a room in the castle were myself, Arc-san, Amako, and Nea.
In front of us sitting on the chairs prepared for us was Alfie-san, the woman who had explained to me and Amako the route to take when we set out on our journey, pen in hand as she prepared to write her report.
"Usato, where's your uniform, by the way?"
Amako, sitting next to me, tilted her head when she saw my clothes.
She must have wondered because I always wear my squad uniform when I come to the castle.
"Ah, that one had a hole in it. The Commander will arrange to have it repaired, so I left it with her."
"It was full of holes. Plus, there were obvious stains and scratches."
It is proof that we have overcome a long journey together.
For me, the squad uniform is so important that it could be called my partner.
"Now that we are ready, may we begin?"
"Yes."
I nodded at Alfie-san and straightened up.
Since a verbal report would take time and there was a possibility of omitting important details, we asked Alfie to compile the information in a written report.
"Ah, I'm looking forward to it I can't believe I get to hear about your adventures filled with ups and downs! I couldn't sleep at night yesterday because I was so excited and looking forward to hearing about your unimaginable experience! Now, Usato-sama, I'll write up the report, so you just have to feel at ease and tell me about your journey! Eh? You're wondering if I can write quickly? No no, don't worry. I am used to shorthand in my line of work!"
"Usato, doesn't this guy talk too much? She speaks so fast I can only catch about half of it."
"This person hasn't changed at all."
Nea and Amako reacted a little taken aback by Alfie-san's excitement.
I only met Alfie-san once, but I remember her well because she made such a strong impression.
"Arc-san, perhaps I should do the talking?"
"Right. We'll fill in the blanks where your recall is hazy."
Let's talk in order in my head so that I don't get confused about what I'm saying.
"Well, first I'll tell you about what happens after we leave Lukvis."
On the way to Samarial, I will talk about the situation in which I was tricked by Nea and had to fight an evil dragon as a result.
Alfie-san had been listening with high levels of excitement, but as the story progressed her expression became tense. Then, she turned to face Nea, who had a smug look on her face for some reason.
"Eh~, so Nea over there... is Usato-sama's familiar, a vampire, a necromancer... and the one who resurrected the evil dragon? How did this happen before you even got to Samarial? You've been through a lot more trouble than I'd heard..."
Next, I will talk about the events that took place in Samarial.
Since King of Samarial, Lucas-sama had given Lloyd-sama a written summary of what had happened, I was able to speak honestly.
"The curse of Samariar?! How can you be involved in such a dangerous thing when you went there to hand over a letter?! Eh, did the physical attack work on the ghost? Why are you trying to hit a ghost?"
For some reason, I got scolded.
Next, I will report on what happened in Mialak.
"I knew this from the report from Mialak, but I heard you were going to take on the dragon man with your bare hands.......Eh~."
She was completely taken back, but I went on to report about Hinomoto, the Land of the Beastfolk.
Alfie-san, who seemed to be interested in the culture of the beastfolk, showed an unusual interest in it, so I told her enough information not to touch the confidentiality of the beastfolk's country.

It took about two hours.
After arranging the bundle of reports, Alfie-san took a breath and looked up.
"I'll get straight to the point. If you were to show this to Lloyd-sama like this, he would collapse from the shock."
"I-Is it that bad!?"
"I wish I could faint too... You get into too much danger everywhere you go."
Alfie-san looks somewhat tired.
Nea, who was sitting next to me, muttered, "Well, of course."
"For the time being, I'll summarize the report in a good way."
"I'm sorry, I had to leave it to you..."
"No, no, that's my job. And although I was surprised, I heard many interesting things, so I would rather thank you."
As for me, I am afraid of the smile on her face as if she's going to stay up all night working on it.
As I returned an awkward smile to Alfie, who looked happy, a question suddenly came to mind.
"Uhm, we've handed over the letters to each country, but what happens after that? Will we end up forming an alliance?"
"Right. Right now, we're working to cooperate with other countries in preparation for the next attack by the Demon King's army."
Cooperation with other countries, huh?
In confronting the threat of the demon king's army, joining forces is of the utmost importance.
"Is everything going well?"
"Yes, thanks to Usato-sama, Kazuki-sama, and Suzune-sama, everything is going smoothly."
Thank goodness. I guess what we did was not in vain.
"I was worried about whether I would be able to deliver the letter properly, but it turns out it can be done if you try."
"Or rather, I think that the kings and others we met were mostly unusual people."
"That's right. This may sound a bit harsh, but there weren't any decent people."
Don't say that. I already have guesses about who they are.
Lucas-sama, Norn-sama, and Jinya-san —— they were all people who left a strong impression on me.
"We are currently taking several countermeasures in light of our previous failure."
I tilt my head at Alfie-san's words.
"The countermeasures are... against the Demon King's army, right?"
"Yes. One of the measures is to detect the invasion of the Demon King's army as soon as possible."
"Is that by placing guards near the Demon King's territory, as I recall?"
Alfie-san nodded at Arc-san's words.
"Did you know it, Arc-san? In the previous battle, we detected the Demon King's army's attack too late, so this time we decided to station knights on guard near the border."
Before, it was really a sudden sortie.
As long as we have time, we will be able to take various countermeasures, so we may not have to worry about the Demon King's army doing whatever they want.
"We have also agreed that representatives from neighboring countries will gather in the not-too-distant future to hold talks."
"When you say neighboring countries, do you mean......"
"The three kingdoms are the Kingdom of Calm Helio, the Kingdom of Nirvarna, and the Kingdom of Samarial, to which Usato-sama headed. The representatives of the four kingdoms, plus the Kingdom of Lingle, will meet in the magic city of Lukvis."
Calm Helio and Nirvarna are the countries where Senpai and Kazuki delivered the letter...right?
As for Calm Helio, I only remember the name because that's where the article about Senpai and me was circulated.
"Mialak is not coming to the meeting?"
"The problem is that Mialak is still suffering from the damage caused by the disturbances that took place last time, and the distance is also a problem. So only the neighboring kingdoms gather in Lukvis."
"I see..."
It's true, Mialak is still going to take a long time to recover.
"Maybe Kazuki-sama, Suzune-sama, and Usato-sama, who delivered the letter, will also be going to Lukvis."
"Is that so..."
Since we are the ones who delivered the letter, it makes sense for us to be present at the meeting.
But Lukvis, huh? If I have time, I might be able to meet with Kiriha and the others.
"Well, the meeting itself is a little further away, so you don't have to think about it that much right now."
"Right."
For now, we had finished our journey report, so we decided to split up there.
Let's put aside the meeting for the moment.
