“Eh…!?”
Yuugo removed the equipment from Mizari’s arms, the gauntlet and Wasp Needle, reversed them, and gave them back.
Left kept in check, right finished it… Yuugo proposed a simple fighting style of doing both with the left arm, and Mizari looked at him dumbfounded. However, Marcos was impressed.
“I see, that does seem feasible. Mizari is in a weak halfway where her left has negligible power, and the right doesn’t have enough power to put her opponents down, so neither arm fulfills its duty. Then she might as well shift to hitting with her left and making use of her speed.”
“But that won’t solve it. Upping the power of my jabs to where they can’t be ignored won’t solve the weak point that is my lack of power when it’s time to deal a decisive blow…”
“Of course, we’re not done yet. We’re going to work from this base to try different things. But you’re going to have to try your hardest to learn a new fighting style and improve it. Are you ready to train for a week?”
“…Yes, of course. Thank you for having me, master!”
Yuugo questioned Mizari about her resolve, and she nodded deeply with determination in her expression.
Yuugo was happy with her response, and turned to the others.
“I want you all to help us too. Unlike me, who just goes on feeling alone, Melt actually understands magic energy control, so she can give advice. Phi knows all sorts of stuff, so you can hear from him too. And depending on how things turn out, I might ask An to rework your magic item… And we need Marcos as a training partner.”
“Understood, leave it to me!”
“Thank you everyone…!”
Melt tapped her chest as she accepted Yuugo’s request, and everyone nodded.
Mizari was grateful for all the help… But Hercus raised his hand while his face twitched.
“Hum, Yuugo? Am I useless? Except to gather information, I mean…”
Asked the only person Yuugo didn’t mention, and Yuugo smiled awkwardly while saying sorry.
“No, of course you aren’t. I have something to ask you too, but that will be a week from now. Just be ready then.”
“What is it!? Hey Yuugo! Don’t put on airs, just tell me!”
Hercus’ yell echoed in the training area, as the way Yuugo was strangely evasive made him anxious.
But still, now that everyone (except one) knew their roles, Mizari’s training could begin.

“Hum… That’s my hero, this is no good…!”
At the same time, Lost secretly watched this all unfold, and whispered with an air of resignation.
Lost watched Yuugo and Mizari through a crystal ball, and sighed… But at the same time, smiled with amusement.
“The idea was to stimulate Mizari’s negative emotions and turn her into a monster armor beast… But much like Marcos, the darkness in her heart is being purified. The premise of the plan has been destroyed, so this is already no good.”
Lost’s left hand held a card with Mizari’s face, and the right something that looked like a giant wasp stinger. Lost looked up, and spoke as if convincing themselves.
Lost threw the card away, and it turned to ash in the air.
“The plan is ruined, but I still have this, but it’s going to be wasted at this rate… Then again, if I give it to the opponent, I still can’t see a future where it doesn’t go to waste…”
Lost gave up on trying to entice Mizari, and wondered what to do with the needle that was for her.
They thought about giving it to her opponent, but decided to think of something else, because he was too weak.
After thinking for a while… Lost realized there was no simple solution, and put the needle away.
“…I guess I can keep watching for a while longer. Getting too hasty and ruining things would be the biggest waste. And I think the main characters are about to do something interesting again.”
Lost disappeared after saying this, giving up on interfering with the story for the time being.
Lost decided to instead be a spectator, and enjoy what the hero they were paying attention to, and the other heroes they were keeping an eye on for other reasons would do with this event.

Kamen rider reference time!!!
The chapter tittle is a reference to kamen rider geats, where (usualy) 2 parts were added to the belt from the left and the right, it also called for a “revolve on” sfx
I love how Yuugo is making the best out of his rag tag party who are not even officially his party and Hercus is wondering where he fits in and Yuugo is all like don’t worry bro I though about you too.
