Chapter 5 (2/2)

Themy spine trembled

I flew sideways quickly

Then, several hairs floated gently in the air

It was the assailant

「Hey that’s dangerous!」

「Aa, itswords!」

They followed up with a sweeping horizontal blow

Here, my self-defense instinct awoke

I gathered ic

「Be lit clah our enemy — 『Gun Fire』!」

The bullet in my hand shot toward the assailant

Bo- it emanated a showy explosive sound as it struck the katana and blew it away

There wasn’t any dae

However, this was a potentially deadly weapon

「What?! Then with this sword!」

Jakin, and he setup a with a neeapon

How unexpected

Why do you have two katanas? How rude!

It can’t be helped, should I use the ic once more?

If you were to find one cockroach there would surely be 30 more is the law I think

Even if I were to blow that weapon away there would probably be more that he would pull out from somewhere else

There’s nothing to do other than to keep that person in check

I tried to chant range ic

At the sa at my appearance—

「……ah, huh? A kid?」

His mouth opened with a pokan

Then, he lowered his katana and sheathed it

In reaction to that, I couldn’t help but stop chanting

「I, I’ht that a thief had come after me

while I walked around the area I had been attacked」

「Getting killed with a knife because of awould have not been a joke……」

I’irl

Her ears pointed out a little, while she had short golden hair

The golden hair was down to her shoulders, and glittered dazzlingly in the evening sunlight

An elven woman

「I’e in the surrounding area What is your name?」

It seems she’s Isabelle

Speaking of which, don’t elves have family names?

From her appearance, she looks about 17-8 years old

But, if I ree is unreliable at best

There is a clear distinction in growth speed and longevity when compared to a human

When asking a e he said,

『When your great-grandfather was born, they were already here』

—-or so like that

This girl na time

「I ais Din I am the son of the ruined lord」

When I introduced myself, Isabelle’s ears reacted suddenly but subtly

At the salance appears

Aa, did she react to the word noble?

There is a clientele ant elves after all

「I’ll say it once, I do not intend to do anything to you, but I don’t mind if you are weary」

「You aren’t going to report me to a relative? I’m an elf after all」

「My family doesn’t have anyone what that kind of hobby Even I hate those kind of people, I wouldn’t want to cooperate with them」

「……He-」

Isabelle looks at ht

It reh

Apparently, the alertness fell away

I cut straight to the point

「The reason I have come here is, to ask the location of the 『Elf’s Canyon』」

「Canyon? That place is the elves’ sacred ground though Do you want to go there?」

「Aa Would you please tell me where it is? 」

「N-……」

Isabelle shows a difficult face

After giving a few seconds to think, I asked her for her conclusion

「Is it impossible Because there is a law that says you cannot teach a human the location 」

「Even if I were to ask it would be impossible?」

「It is impossible Or I should say, what do you intend to do once you reach the Elf’s Canyon?」

「……I want it Elf’s elixir」

The moment I said the name of the item, Isabelle’s expression became tense

What kind of thing it was, an elf would be the eable about what it was

「Do you intend to use it on a relative?」

「Aa, th failed her and she was infected by the『Rise no More』illness 」

「Do you feel responsible?」

I immediately shook my head

「No It’s neither a sense of responsibility nor sense of mission

It’s just that when a person close to ainst a wall,

wanting to help then is the same for anyone in the same position」

「Fufu, what a dutiful son to his parents」

Well done well done, she seeht tone

However it was said neither in sarcasm nor in satire

Is it si one’s impression?

However, her answer did not change

「But, it’s impossible

Regardless of the reason, Elf’s Canyon is an inviolable holy ground

Teaching a human that an elf had just met, that by itself would be an elf’s shame」

「…I see I understand」

If you say it like that, there’s nothing I can do

Even if I were to keep pressing the matter, it seems it would only cause more trouble

Should I leave for now and try a different approach later?

At my words, Isabelle looks mysteriously at my face

「Huh? You’re not going to keep pressing it?」

「It’s already late today I’ home for now

However, I haven’t given up」

「Nice spirit I look forward to the future」

「Well thanks for that」

The possibility of her teaching me it even if I were to stick to it was non-existent

Let’s coain

It would be only a short while before Walkins was supposed to come to my room

I need to hurry up and get back, it was convenience of conveniences

「After, Please be careful of the thieves

Talk about you reachedindoors on the hill

「I knoas planning on leaving tomorrow, your worry is useless」

「te, Tomorrow!?」

`「Un We will probably neverboy」

You should have said that in the first place

I thought there would still be tiotiate

If I were to pull back here, wouldn’t my only chance completely slip away?

But, the person in question had absolutely no intention of teaching me, so in the end it didn’t really matter

da an elf was so rare

Why am I so unlucky?

It was the same in my previous life

When I tried to take a street car, I would almost always end up in an accident injured

In the end I was killed by an iron frame on Christmas Eve

While poisoning lanced outside the

The air surrounding the inn had an insidious atmosphere

Then, I was convinced

There was just oneI could do

「……Tomorrow, I’ll see you off」

「Is it alright for a noble to come out this often?」

「It’s fine Don’t worry about it」

「I see It’s the first time some has been there to see me off

Then, I look forward to it」

I raised my body and went outside the room

I couldn’t allow myself to show unhappiness in front of her, I restrained it

I went out of the inn and let out a great sigh

The rabbed a clue, it’s like this

But, it’s not time up yet

For the possible next ti I could do

The guys ai

……If they’re co, it’ll be tomorrow?

That alone is enough

My feelings sharpen and I head for home
